<<they sold their kaolin biz for $68 m., which means they are now debt free>> The transaction hasn't closed yet. The buyer is Zemex corp. (ZMX) which has only $1.5 million in cash and it is not certain that they can raise the financing needed to complete this purchase. Hecla has $55 million in debt due in 3 months, at which time they will either be out of the woods debt free as you put it, or bankrupt. Take your pick.
