Hecla News...... ........................ ............................... HECLA RESUMES LUCKY FRIDAY MINE OPERATIONS AND PRODUCTION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 19, 2013 COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) today announced that its Lucky Friday mine in Idaho's Silver Valley has resumed operations and production, and is expected to produce approximately two million ounces of silver in 2013. "Hecla is pleased to report that with rehabilitation work complete on the Silver Shaft at the Lucky Friday mine, and with necessary clearance from MSHA, the mine has resumed operations, with initial production of silver concentrates expected in February. Production levels are expected to ramp up during the first half of the year, and we expect to reach normal production levels by mid-year," said Hecla's President and Chief Executive Officer Phillips S. Baker, Jr. "For the full year 2013, silver production from Lucky Friday is projected at approximately two million ounces." "The 12 months of down time at Lucky Friday allowed work crews to improve many aspects of the mine's operations. Besides cleaning and improving the efficiency of the main Silver Shaft, we upgraded mining methods; conducted supplementary training; hired additional safety experts, mine management and engineering staff; and purchased $2.3 million in new equipment, including mechanized rock bolters, which will be used to implement new ground control measures. In all Lucky Friday working areas, as well as at all of Hecla's other operations, we strive to meet or exceed the National Mining Association's CORESafety Program, which is the industry benchmark for operations and safety implemented in 2009, as well as all MSHA-approved guidelines. I'd like to thank everyone who played a role in the Lucky Friday rehabilitation for their hard work, dedication and attention to detail," Mr. Baker added. The Company has recalled all employees necessary for Lucky Friday to reach full production. All employees, both returning and new, have received supplemental safety training, with enhanced procedures for risk assessment and accident prevention designed to improve existing safe work practices. Work crews have completed the bypass drift at the 5900 foot level, around an area impacted by a rock burst in December 2011. Ground support has been upgraded for over 7.5 miles of underground workings; these upgrades include, in appropriate areas, the incorporation of recently developed ground support bolting products. Current production is coming from #10 stope and #11 stope, located on the intermediate-vein package and 30-vein, respectively. Hecla has spent a total of $29.8 million on the rehabilitation of the Silver Shaft and an additional $26.2 million on other Lucky Friday capital projects unrelated to the shaft renovation. Crews at Lucky Friday resumed work in the first quarter on the #4 Shaft project, designed to access extensions to reserves, resources and additional exploration targets with a goal to increase annual silver production to approximately 5 million ounces from Lucky Friday. To date, $90 million has been invested on the estimated $200 million project, with completion estimated in early 2016. As previously reported in December, the Lucky Friday mine was notified of potential PPOV (Potential Pattern of Violations) status by MSHA for citations issued in late 2011 and early 2012, prior to the Silver Shaft rehabilitation and other work done at the mine in the past year. The Company continues to work with MSHA and expects to work through the PPOV process. About Hecla Mining Company: Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is a leading low-cost U.S. silver producer with operating mines in Alaska and Idaho and exploration and pre-development properties in four world-class silver mining districts in the U.S. and Mexico. investors.hecla-mining.com

Endeavour Mining Corporation - "STINKS!" 1Q13 just out...... finance.yahoo.com Look at this garbage..... Q1/2013 Financial and Operating Highlights Gold production was 73,654 ounces Gold sold was 71,926 ounces for a mine cash margin of $46 million (equivalent to 28,400 ounces of gold), and after corporate costs, sustaining capital and near-mine exploration expenses generated an all-in sustaining margin of $39 million (equivalent to 23,994 ounces of gold or a 33% margin) Total cash cost per ounce sold was $897 Including royalties, corporate costs, sustaining capital and near-mine exploration, the all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce sold was $1,083 . See Table 4 for calculation details Adjusted net earnings of $9.0 million or $0.02 per share As of March 31, 2013 , Endeavour had cash, cash equivalents, and gold bullion of $128 million with long-term debt of $200 million drawn from a corporate facility The Tabakoto cost reduction program has decreased cash costs by 25% from $1,250 in late 2012 to $932 per ounce produced in Q1/2013, with further cost benefits expected from the program and the recently completed mill expansion. {they are doing what Stan Bharti's boyz apparently couldn't do!} Assuming a gold price of $1,400 for the balance of the year, we expect to generate an all-in sustaining margin of approximately $127 million for 2013, which compares to our original forecast of $166 million at a $1,600 gold price
