Key Terms

assays technical

Assays are laboratory tests that detect or measure a specific substance, molecule, or biological activity—for example whether a drug reaches its target, how much of a chemical is present, or whether a diagnostic marker exists. Think of them like quality-control checks or sensors that tell you if an ingredient and its amount meet a standard. For investors, assay results drive clinical decisions, regulatory approval, manufacturing quality and timelines, all of which affect a company’s value and risk.

true width technical

True width is the actual thickness of a geological feature, such as a mineralized vein or ore body, measured perpendicular to its plane rather than along the angled path of a drill hole. For investors, true width matters because it gives a realistic measure of how much mineralized material is present and therefore influences estimates of a deposit’s size, mineability and potential value—like measuring a loaf’s thickness by cutting straight across instead of slicing at an angle.

inferred resources technical

An inferred resource is an early-stage estimate of how much mineral or fuel may be present in the ground based on limited geological evidence and sampling. Think of it like seeing scattered clues that suggest a buried treasure might exist but not having dug enough to be sure; the potential size and value are uncertain. For investors it signals possible upside but carries high risk and should not be treated as proven supply or relied on for firm production plans.

hydrothermal system technical

A hydrothermal system is a natural underground network where hot water and steam circulate through rock, carrying heat and dissolved minerals from deep beneath the surface. For investors, these systems matter because they can concentrate valuable mineral deposits (like gold or copper) that make mining projects economically attractive, and they can also be harnessed as a source of geothermal energy for power generation — like a natural oven and delivery pipe that concentrates and brings resources closer to the surface.

step-out drilling technical

Step-out drilling is an exploration technique where drill holes are placed progressively farther from a known mineralized zone to test whether the deposit continues outward. For investors, successful step-outs can grow a project's estimated size and economic potential—reducing risk and often increasing value—while unsuccessful results limit upside; it's like checking adjoining rooms to see if a discovered treasure continues beyond the first room.

Continued High-Grade Discoveries at Midas and Keno Hill Extend Key Mineralized Trends and Support District-Scale Growth Targets

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) today reported positive second quarter 2026 exploration and definition drilling results from its Keno Hill, Midas, and Greens Creek properties, highlighted by a significant extension of high-grade mineralization at Keno Hill toward the historic Hector-Calumet Mine and discovery of new high-grade veins at Midas. The Company also advanced exploration programs across its portfolio, by initiating drilling at Hollister and finalizing drill pad construction at Aurora in preparation for drilling in August.

"Our exploration teams delivered another quarter of tangible progress toward our district-scale growth targets," said Kurt Allen, Vice President of Exploration. "The extension of the high-grade Bermingham trend toward Hector-Calumet and new discovery at Midas are exactly the kind of results that support our long-term reserve growth strategy across the portfolio."

SECOND QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

Bermingham Deep high-grade trend extended toward the historic Hector-Calumet Mine. Drilling extended this mineralization 165 feet to the northeast (hole 935C: 62.7 oz/ton silver over 10.2 feet) and 165 feet to the southwest along the Footwall Vein (hole 936C: 44.6 oz/ton silver over 10.1 feet). The trend is now traceable over 800 feet and remains open toward both the Bermingham reserve and Hector-Calumet (Figure 1).
Encouraging step-outs at the Bermingham Deep Main 2 Vein. Hole 936B returned 21.0 oz/ton silver over 5.8 feet, and hole 940 intersected a 2.5-foot interval bearing high-grade silver minerals (assays pending), generating multiple high-priority step-out targets in Bermingham Deep.
New high-grade vein discoveries at Midas. The first vein returned 0.50 oz/ton gold and 3.1 oz/ton silver over 1.8 feet, including a higher-grade interval of 1.56 oz/ton gold and 9.7 oz/ton silver over 0.6 feet (Figure 2). Both veins remain open along strike, with follow-up drilling planned for Q3.
Sinter Offset Southeast program completed. The eight-hole program defined a gold-bearing structure over 2,750 feet of strike length. Drilling will now pause as assays are received and an initial resource estimate is generated.
Metallurgical, geotechnical, and infill drilling on track at Midas. Hole DMC-00485 returned 0.30 oz/ton gold and 4.0 oz/ton silver over 6.8 feet true width. All three planned metallurgical and geotechnical holes have been completed, with analytical testing in progress.

INVESTMENT AND STRATEGY

During Q2 2026, the Company invested $11.3 million in exploration and corporate development (and $0.4 million in pre-development) activities, focused on high-impact discovery drilling at Keno Hill in Yukon and Midas in Nevada, and resource expansion programs at our producing assets. This strategy balances district-scale discovery with near-mine resource definition and reserve extension. Guidance for 2026 remains at $55 million investment in exploration and pre-development.

PRODUCING ASSET RESOURCE DEFINITION

Underground definition drilling programs at Greens Creek, Keno Hill, and Lucky Friday continue to define and expand mineralization near resource boundaries, converting Inferred resources and identifying reserve extension opportunities.

Greens Creek

Definition drilling at Greens Creek continued to delineate and step out from existing resources using three underground drilling rigs. Assay results have been received from the East, 200s, 5250, Gallagher and Upper Plate zones. Notable intercepts include 169.5 oz/ton silver, 0.55 oz/ton gold, 5.8% zinc, and 3.2% lead over 8.4 feet in the East Zone, and 20.8 oz/ton silver, 0.13 oz/ton gold, 4.8% zinc, and 2.6% lead over 39.8 feet in the Gallagher Zone. Several exceptional drilling intercepts were had in the 200s Zone, including 92.7 oz/ton silver, 0.03 oz/ton gold, 5.5% zinc, and 3.1% lead over 7.7 feet.

Keno Hill

At Keno Hill, one definition drilling rig continued to define and expand mineralization in the Arctic Zone at the Bermingham Mine. One intercept through the Footwall Vein returned 138.0 oz/ton silver, 0.6% zinc, and 1.5% lead over 3.1 feet, upgrading the resource. Another drillhole intersected 24.3 oz/ton silver, 0.1% zinc, 1.6% lead over 8.5 feet, 40 feet from current resources in the same vein.

Lucky Friday

Definition drilling has continued on the Intermediate veins and the UCB corridor (30 vein) at Lucky Friday, upgrading the resource. Drilling highlights include an intercept of 12.6 oz/ton silver, 11.4% zinc, and 11.4% lead over 10.5 feet in the 30 vein.

EXPLORATION PROGRAMS

Keno Hill: Bridging Bermingham and the Historic Hector-Calumet Mine

This quarter's most significant regional result was the extension of the Bermingham Deep trend — first discovered and reported in late 2025 — toward Hector-Calumet, one of the highest-grade past-producing silver mines in the district, having produced approximately 96 million ounces of silver and interpreted to share a common mineralizing fluid source with Bermingham.

Drilling extended the trend 165 feet to the northeast (hole 935C) and 165 feet to the southwest along the Footwall Vein (hole 936C) (Figure 1). The trend has now been traced over 800 feet of strike length and is open in both directions toward the Bermingham reserve and toward Hector-Calumet. These intercepts provide a clear exploration vector into the significant volume of untested and prospective rock between the two systems — an excellent example of our systematic exploration approach turning management's bullish view of Keno Hill's long-term exploration potential into reality. At Bermingham Deep, step-out drilling in the Bermingham Main Vein 2 supported emerging grade continuity, with holes 936B and 940 both returning mineralized intercepts and generating multiple high-priority step-out targets. Having both the Footwall and Bermingham Main 2 veins significantly mineralized indicates a robust hydrothermal system and its strong potential to host additional economic mineralization.

Midas: New Discovery and Continued Resource Definition

The Sinter–Pogo Gap target area, situated between two previously identified high-grade zones, delivered Midas's newest vein discovery this quarter (Figure 2). Drilling intersected two new, narrow, well-developed veins with textures and mineralogy consistent with historic Midas production, reinforcing management's view that the broader SE pediment area hosts significant potential for additional, impactful, Midas-like discoveries. The second vein is similar in texture, mineralogy, and thickness to the first and is pending assay results. Both new veins remain open along strike and are prioritized for Q3 follow-up. Elsewhere on the property, the completed eight-hole Sinter Offset Southeast program returned several gold-bearing structures with positive grades over narrow widths; drilling will now pause as assays are received and next steps are evaluated. Infill and metallurgical drilling also advanced, with hole DMC-00485 returning 0.30 oz/ton gold and 4.0 oz/ton silver over 6.8 feet true width, including three narrower intervals above 0.6 oz/ton gold. Assays are pending for two of the three completed metallurgical and geotechnical holes. Together, these programs have kept the project on track toward a potential mine restart decision.

Detailed exploration drill assay highlights can be found in Table A at the end of this release.

Greens Creek, Hollister, and Aurora: Program Updates

At Greens Creek, exploration drilling at Zinc Creek, Gallagher, and 5250 Offset continued to refine the district geological model, with the intense alteration observed in Zinc Creek drilling flagged as a priority for Q3 follow-up. Hollister drilling commenced on schedule in July and will test four high-priority target areas. At Aurora, site preparation is underway ahead of drilling which is expected to begin in August. The Company's exploration programs continue to ramp up companywide, reflecting an expanding cadence of exploration activity heading into the second half of 2026.

With multiple veins and trends still open along strike and at depth, and programs at Hollister and Aurora beginning, the Company expects continued exploration momentum through the second half of 2026. Planned Q3 activity includes follow-up drilling on the Midas Sinter–Pogo Gap veins, further testing of the Bermingham–Hector-Calumet trend, additional Bermingham Deep step-outs, and ramp-up of the newly initiated Hollister and Aurora programs. Overall, the planned programs remain well positioned to achieve our stated goals of reaching a restart decision in Nevada and expanding resources and reserves at the mine sites.
