Hecla Mining Company ((<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;,%20url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hecla.com&amp;,%20esheet=54241997&amp;,%20newsitemid=20250422783103&amp;,%20lan=en-US&amp;,%20anchor=NYSE%3AHL&amp;,%20index=1&amp;,%20NYSE:%3Ca%20class=">HL</a>) is pleased to announce that its Libby Exploration Project in Montana was included in the Trump Administration's March 18, 2025, announcement of advancing critical mineral projects under Executive Order 14241, Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.
As a result, the Project has been placed on the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council's FAST-41 permitting dashboard, which will ensure the environmental review and authorizations schedule for the project is publicly available and allows all stakeholders to benefit from increased transparency.
"We're pleased that the Libby Exploration Project has been recognized in the White House's critical minerals initiative and added to the FAST-41 dashboard. This priority status acknowledges the strategic importance of developing domestic silver and copper resources and should help streamline the remaining permitting process as we move toward a final Record of Decision. Hecla also extends its thanks to Montana's congressional delegation for their leadership in showing strong support for the Project and encouraging domestic mineral production and investment in Montana," said Rob Krcmarov, President and CEO. "Having a fully permitted project would add significant optionality to our portfolio, and this milestone positions us well for the future. While we continue to evaluate the project economics and address technical challenges, this designation enhances the project's long-term potential. As always, our capital allocation decisions will remain disciplined and focused on delivering shareholder value while we advance our understanding of this significant resource."

Hecla Mining Compan Announces That Its Libby Exploration Project In Montana Was Included In Trump Administration's March 18, 2025 Announcement Of Advancing Critical Mineral Projects Under Executive Order 14241; Immediate Measures To Increase American Mineral Production.

The U.S. is accelerating the permitting process for 10 critical mineral production projects under the FAST-41 program following President Donald Trump's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44471105/trumps-executive-order-fuels-investor-speculation-over-alaskan-resources" rel="noreferrer noopener">executive order</a> to reduce the country's reliance on foreign mineral imports.
The initiative seeks to remove bureaucratic hurdles, secure essential minerals, and strengthen domestic supply chains.
"This is the first use of the Permitting Council's transparency authority, and we look forward to showcasing the many benefits the Federal Permitting Dashboard can bring to critical infrastructure projects," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/trump-administration-advances-first-wave-of-critical-mineral-production-projects/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> Manisha Patel, Acting Executive Director at the Permitting Council. "It's a vital tool for interagency coordination and efficient decision-making," he added.
The newly designated projects include major proposals across the country such as Perpetua Resources' (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPTA#NASDAQ">PPTA</a>) Stibnite Gold and Antimony Project in Idaho, Rio Tinto's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>) Resolution Copper Project in Arizona, Hecla Mining's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HL#NYSE">HL</a>) copper and silver mine in Montana, and Albemarle's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALB#NYSE">ALB</a>) expansion of the Silver Peak lithium mine in Nevada. Also included are Standard Lithium's direct lithium extraction site in Arkansas, Warrior Met Coal's metallurgical coal mine in Alabama, and the McDermitt Lithium Project in Oregon. Others include the Caldwell Canyon Phosphate Mine in Idaho, Lisbon Valley Copper in Utah, and Michigan Potash.
These projects are now subject to the FAST-41 framework, which provides enhanced interagency coordination and a centralized online dashboard for monitoring permitting progress. While the program doesn't waive environmental laws, it significantly improves process transparency and helps enforce clearer timelines.
The U.S. depends heavily on foreign sources, particularly China, for critical minerals such as lithium, copper, and rare earth elements, crucial for electric vehicles, military equipment, and consumer electronics. Lengthy permitting processes, which can take anywhere from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870803/us-mine-development-delays-among-worlds-longest-second-only-to-zambia" rel="noreferrer noopener">10 to 29 years</a>, have hindered domestic production, forcing reliance on geopolitical competitors. By comparison, countries like Canada and Australia approve mines in two to five years, giving them a significant advantage in attracting investment and securing supply chains.
Even in Canada, where permitting is relatively faster, both leading candidates for prime minister—Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre—have campaigned on promises to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44732611/canadian-politicians-promise-faster-project-approvals-ahead-of-april-28-elections" rel="noreferrer noopener">reduce mining bureaucracy</a> further.
"For too long, duplicative processes and regulatory paralysis have delayed the development of the minerals America needs," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/trump-administration-adds-key-mining-projects-fast-41" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> Adam Suess, Acting Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management. "By cutting red tape and increasing accountability, we're making it clear that under President Trump, the United States is serious about being a global leader in critical minerals."

Outlook
Casa Berardi is transitioning from a combined underground and surface operation to a surface only operation. By mid-2025, the Company expects to be mining only the 160 open pit, as the higher margin stopes of the west underground mine should be exhausted. With the expected decline in 160 pit's strip ratio, the mine's economics are expected to improve with free cash flow generation commencing in the second half of 2025.
Casa Berardi is expected to produce gold from the 160 pit until 2027. At current gold prices, the 160 pit is expected to generate strong free cash flow from the second half of 2025 (when the pit's strip ratio is expected to decline) until 2027. Upon completion of mining at the 160 pit, and milling the remaining stockpiles, Casa Berardi is expected to have a production gap commencing in 2027 and continuing until 2032 or later. During this time, the focus is expected to be on investing in permitting, infrastructure and equipment, as well as de-watering and stripping two expected new open pits, the Principal and West Mine Crown Pillar pits. Upon conclusion of the hiatus and related permitting and construction, the Company expects the mine to generate significant free cash flow at current gold prices. Given the expected hiatus in future production and the uncertainty surrounding permitting and timing of construction of the new open pits, the Company continues to consider strategic alternatives for Casa Berardi.
Please refer to guidance section of the release for production, cost, and capital guidance for 2025.
