Company snapshot — Hecla Mining Company

HL in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does

Its output reaches customers across the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea and China. The company was incorporated in 1891 and is based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
