Not what I was pointing out. Their price drop in silver (5.24 v 5.08 for first 9 months) is nothing compared to a gold mine that went into production in October 1999.

As of the current quarter, Hecla derives 47% of revenues from industrial minerals, 31% from silver, and 22% from gold.
This makes it less of a silver play than last quarter, last year, and probably its entire history.

On a positive note, the $865,000 they made mining gold just about covered the $947,000 they lost mining silver.
All of their $2m in earnings effectively came from industrial minerals.
