Note 1. Bas
is of Preparation of Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Hecla Mining Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hecla,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” except where the context requires otherwise) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required annually by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K). The consolidated December 31, 2024 balance sheet data was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods reported. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Note 2. Business Segments and Sales of Products
We discover, acquire and develop mines and other mineral interests and produce and market (i) concentrates containing silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper, (ii) carbon material containing silver and gold, and (iii) doré containing silver and gold. We are currently organized and managed in
four
segments: Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, Keno Hill and Casa Berardi.
The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and the allocation of resources by Hecla's President and Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM evaluates the performance for all of our reportable segments based on segment gross profit or loss. For all segments, the CODM uses segment gross profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget to actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. Significant segment expenses that are components of total cost of goods sold and drive the financial performance of our reportable segments are (i) salaries, wages and other benefits, (ii) contractors, (iii) consumables (iv) change in product inventory and (v) other direct production costs. In further evaluating the operational performance of each segment, the CODM also considers the amount of metals production versus budget, and the grade of the metal processed.
General corporate activities not associated with operating mines and their various exploration activities, as well as idle properties and environmental remediation services in the Yukon, Canada, are presented as “other.” The nature of the items that reconcile gross profit to income before income and mining taxes are not related to our reportable segments.

The income and mining tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 varies from the amounts that would have resulted from applying the statutory tax rates to pre-tax income or loss due primarily to the impact of taxation in foreign jurisdictions, domestic and foreign mining taxes, percentage depletion, non-recognition of net operating losses and the tax effect of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and subpart F income inclusion.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used the annual effective tax rate method to calculate the tax provision. Valuation allowances on Nevada, Mexico and certain Canadian net operating losses were treated as discrete adjustments to the tax provision.
We file income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. Our Canadian subsidiaries file income tax returns in Canada and the provinces of British Columbia and Quebec. One of our Canadian subsidiaries is currently being audited by the Canadian Revenue Agency for the 2022 and 2023 years. We do not believe there will be an adjustment that will have a material impact on our financial statements.
13
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA permanently extends multiple tax provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as repeals, modifies and introduces various other tax provisions including, but not limited to federal bonus depreciation and current deductions for domestic research and development expenditures. We do not anticipate the OBBBA will have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements. We continue to evaluate the impact the OBBBA may have on the Company as the legislation has various future effective dates.
Pillar Two is a global tax framework that establishes a
15
% minimum effective tax rate and was developed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). In 2024, Canada enacted its Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”) which implements Pillar Two. Due to our worldwide projected revenue for the year ended 2025 we anticipate we will fall within the scope of Pillar Two rules beginning on January 1, 2026. We primarily operates in jurisdictions with a tax rate exceeding
15
% and does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements. We will continue to monitor developments and evaluate the potential impact of Pillar Two in future periods.

Note 5. Earnings Per Common Share
We calculate basic earnings per common share on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effect of potential dilutive common shares during the period using the treasury stock and if-converted methods.
Potential dilutive shares of common stock include outstanding unvested restricted stock awards, deferred restricted stock units, unvested performance based units and convertible preferred stock (collectively referred to as dilutive units) for all periods presented.

At-The-Market ("ATM") Equity Distribution Agreement
Pursuant to an equity distribution agreement dated February 18, 2021, we may offer and sell up to
60
million shares of our common stock from time to time to or through sales agents. Sales of the shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers transactions or as otherwise agreed between us and the agents as principals. Whether or not we engage in sales from time to time may depend on a variety of factors, including our share price, our cash resources, potential use of proceeds, customary black-out restrictions, and whether we have any material inside inform
ation. The agreement can be terminated by us at any time. Any sales of shares under the agreement are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold
6,950,792
shares under the agreement for proceeds of $
42.1
million, net of commissions and fees of $
0.6
million. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2025
, we sold
35,959,328

he agreement for proceeds of $
216.2
million, net of commissions and fees of $
3.3
million, which were used to redeem $
212
million of our Senior Notes.

Note 7. Debt, Credit Agreement and Leases
Our debt as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
consisted of our
7.25
% Senior Notes due February 15, 2028 (“Senior Notes”) and any drawn amounts on our
$
225
million Credit Agreement
, which is described separately below. At December 31, 2024, our debt also included our Series 2020-A Senior Notes due July 9, 2025 (the "IQ Notes").
During the three month period ended September 30, 2025, we repaid the IQ Notes, for a total payment of
$
34.7
m
illion, including interest of $
1.1
million and net of hedging, and redeemed $
212
million of our Senior Notes for a total payment of $
216.0
million, including $
3.8
million as a call premium and $
0.2
million of interest. The partial redemption of the Senior Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $
4.9
million, of which $
3.8
million related to the call premium and $
1.1
million related to the pro-rata expensing of deferred debt issuance costs, which was recorded as part of
Interest expense
in our
Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Credit Agreement
On May 3, 2024 we entered into an amended revolving credit agreement with various financial institutions (the "Lenders"), which provided the Company with borrowing capacity up to $
225
million with a maturity date of July 21, 2028 (accelerated to
August 15, 2027 if our Senior Notes are not refinanced by that date).
Proceeds of the revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes. The interest rate on the outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement is based on the Company’s net leverage ratio and is calculated at (i) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus
2
% to
3.5
% or (ii) Bank of America’s Base Rate plus
1
% to
2.5
% with Base Rate being the highest of (i) the Bank of America prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus
.50
% or (iii) Term SOFR plus
1.00
%. For each amount drawn, we elect whether we draw on a one, three or six month basis or annual basis for SOFR. If we elect to draw for greater than six months, we pay interest quarterly on the outstanding amount.
17
We are also required to pay a commitment fee of between
0.45
% to
0.78750
%, depending on our net leverage ratio. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement bear a fee between
2.00
% and
3.50
% based on our net leverage ratio, as well as a fronting fee to each issuing bank at an agreed upon rate per annum on the average daily dollar amount of our letter of credit exposure.
Hecla Mining Company and certain of our subsidiaries are the borrowers under the Credit Agreement, while certain of our other subsidiaries are guarantors of the borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. As further security, the Credit Agreement is collateralized by a mortgage on the Greens Creek mine, the equity interests of subsidiaries that own the Greens Creek mine or are part of the Greens Creek Joint Venture and our subsidiary Hecla Admiralty Company (the “Greens Creek Group”), and by all of the Greens Creek Group’s rights and interests in the Greens Creek Joint Venture Agreement, and in all assets of the joint venture and of any member of the Greens Creek Group.
At September 30, 2025, we
had
no
amounts drawn and
$
6.7
million
of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit that are outstanding reduce availability under the Credit Agreement.
We believe we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025
.
Note 8. Derivative Instruments
General
Our current risk management policy provides that up to
75
% of
five years
of our foreign currency and forecasted metals price exposure may be covered under a derivatives program, with certain other limitations. Our program also utilizes derivatives to manage price risk exposure created from when revenue is recognized from a shipment of concentrate until final settlement.
These instruments expose us to (i) credit risk in the form of non-performance by counterparties for contracts in which the contract price exceeds the spot price of the hedged commodity or foreign currency and (ii) price risk to the extent that the spot price or currency exchange rate exceeds the contract price for quantities of our production and/or forecasted costs covered under contract positions.
Foreign Currency
Our wholly-owned non-US subsidiaries owning the Casa Berardi and Keno Hill operations are USD-functional currency entities which routinely incur expenses denominated in CAD. Such expenses expose us to exchange rate fluctuations, for which we have a program to manage our exposure to fluctuations of these subsidiaries' future operating and capital costs denominated in CAD. The program related to forecasted cash operating costs at Casa Berardi and Keno Hill utilizes forward contracts to buy CAD, and only those related to Casa Berardi are designated as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2025
, we have a total of
246
forward contracts outstanding to buy a total of CAD $
167.7
million having a notional amount of USD $
122.9
million to hedge the following exposures for 2025 through 2026:
•
Forecasted cash operating expenditures at Casa Berardi of CAD $
53.2
million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of
1.3248
.
•
Forecasted cash operating expenditures at Keno Hill of CAD $
65.5
million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of
1.3821
.
•
Forecasted capital expenditures at Casa Berardi of CAD $
6.5
million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of
1.3399
.
•
Forecasted capital expenditures at Keno Hill of CAD $
35.8
million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of
1.3934
.
•
Forecasted exploration expenditures at Keno Hill of CAD $
4.2
million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of
1.3920
.
•
Forecasted Corporate expenditures of CAD $
2.5
million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of

No net unrealized gains or losses related to ineffectiveness of the hedges are included in fair value adjustments, net on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Metals Prices
We are currently using financially-settled forward contracts to manage our exposure to:
•
changes in prices of silver, gold, zinc and lead contained in our concentrate shipments between the time of shipment and final settlement; and
•
changes in prices of zinc and lead (but not silver and gold) contained in our forecasted future concentrate shipments.

Since the first quarter of 2025, we have and continue to utilize financially-settled zero cost collars ("Collars") to manage our exposure to changes in the price of precious metals contained in both our provisional, forecasted Keno Hill future concentrate shipments and forecasted Casa Berardi gold sales. These Collars provide us a contractual right to receive at least the minimum price if market prices fall below the minimum price level specified in the contracts, while limiting our potential gains to the maximum price level specified in the contracts, even if market prices rise higher. This strategy helps protect us from significant price drops while still allowing for some upside potential within the minimum and maximum price range. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, these collar
s had net losses of $
6.3
million and $
6.5
million, respecti
vely. For accounting purposes, they are not designated as hedges.

Net realized and unrealized gains of $
8.9
million related to the effective portion of the forward metals contracts designated as hedges were included in accumulated other comprehensiv
e income (loss) as of September 30, 2025
. Unrealized gains and losses will be transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current earnings as the underlying forecasted sales are recognized. We estimate $
8.6
million in net realized and unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2025
would be reclassified to current earnings in the next twelve months. The realized gains arose due to cash settlement of zinc contracts prior to maturity in 2022 and zinc and lead contracts during 2023 for net proceeds of $
17.4
million and $
8.5
million, respectively, of which $
0.1
million remains to be recognized during the remainder of the year.
We recognized a net loss of $
14.0
million (2024: $
0.6
million net gain), including a $
5.1
million gain transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (2024: $
2.1
million gain transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income), during the three months ended
September 30, 2025
. We recognized a net loss of $
16.0
million (2024: $
8.8
million net loss), including a $
10.8
million gain transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (2024: $
7.1
million gain transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income), during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These gains and losses were recognized on the contracts utilized to manage exposure to prices of metals in our concentrate shipments, which are included in sales. The net losses and gains recognized on the contracts offset gains and losses related to price adjustments on our provisional concentrate sales due to changes to silver, gold, lead and zinc prices between the time of sale and final settlement.
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
Certain of our derivative contracts contain cross default provisions which provide that a default under our Credit Agreement would cause a default under the derivative contract. As of September 30, 2025
, we have not posted any collateral related to these contracts. The fair value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was $
13.8
million as of
September 30, 2025, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk. If we were in breach of any of these provisions at September 30, 2025
, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $
13.8
million.

Accounting guidance has established a hierarchy for inputs used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The three levels included in the hierarchy are:
Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: significant other observable inputs; and
Level 3: significant unobservable inputs.
The table below sets forth our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level that we have determined applies to each asset and liability category (in thousands).

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds which are carried at fair value.
Current and non-current restricted cash and cash equivalent balances consist primarily of certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury securities, and other deposits and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Our current and non-current investments consist of marketable equity securities of mining companies which are valued using quoted market prices for each security.
Trade accounts receivable from provisional concentrate sales are subject to final pricing and valued using quoted prices based on forward curves for the particular metals.
We use financially-settled forward contracts to manage exposure to changes in the exchange rate between USD and CAD, and the impact on CAD-denominated operating and capital costs incurred at our Casa Berardi and Keno Hill operations (see
Note 8
for more information). The fair value of each contract represents the present value of the difference between the forward exchange rate for the contract settlement period as of the measurement date and the contract settlement exchange rate.
We use financially-settled forward contracts to (i) manage the exposure to changes in prices of silver, gold, zinc and lead contained in our concentrate shipments that have not reached final settlement and (ii) manage the exposure to changes in prices of gold, zinc and lead contained in our forecasted future sales (see
Note 8
for more information). The fair value of each forward contract represents the present value of the difference between the forward metal price for the contract settlement period as of the measurement date and the contract settlement metal price.
At September 30, 2025, our Senior Notes were recorded at their carrying value o
f $

million net of unamortized initial purchaser discount and issuance costs. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes
was $
265.8
million
at September 30, 2025. Quoted market prices, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs, are utilized to estimate fair values of the Senior Notes. The Credit Agreement, which we consider to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, has a carrying and fai

Note 11. Commitments, Contingencies and Obligations
San Mateo Creek Basin, New Mexico
In July 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") informed Hecla Limited that it and several other potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) may be liable for cleanup of the San Mateo Creek Basin (“SMCB”), which is an approximately 321 square mile area in New Mexico that contains numerous legacy uranium mines and mills. At the time, the EPA stated it had incurred approximately $
9.6
million in response costs. Also, in May, 2022 and August, 2024, Hecla Limited received a letter from a PRP notifying Hecla Limited that other PRPs may seek cost recovery and contribution from Hecla Limited under CERCLA for certain investigatory work performed by the PRPs at the SMCB site. Hecla Limited cannot with reasonable certainty estimate the amount or range of liability, if any, relating to this matter because of, among other reasons, the lack of information concerning the site, including the relative contributions of contamination by the various PRPs.
Carpenter Snow Creek and Barker-Hughesville Sites in Montana
In July 2010, the EPA made a formal request to Hecla for information regarding the Carpenter Snow Creek Superfund site located in Cascade County, Montana. The Carpenter Snow Creek site is located in a historical mining district, and in the early 1980s Hecla Limited leased 6 mining claims and performed limited exploration activities at the site. Hecla Limited terminated the mining lease in 1988.
In June 2011, the EPA informed Hecla Limited that it believes Hecla Limited, and several other PRPs, may be liable for cleanup of the site or for costs incurred by the EPA in cleaning up the site. The EPA stated in the letter that it has incurred approximately $
4.5
million in response costs and estimated that total remediation costs may exceed $
100
million. Hecla Limited cannot with reasonable certainty estimate the amount or range of liability, if any, relating to this matter because of, among other reasons, the lack of information concerning the site, including the relative contributions of contamination by various other PRPs.
In February 2017, the EPA made a formal request to Hecla for information regarding the Barker-Hughesville Mining District Superfund site located in Judith Basin and Cascade Counties, Montana. Hecla Limited submitted a response in April 2017. The Barker-Hughesville site is located in a historic mining district, and between approximately June and December 1983, Hecla Limited was party to an agreement with another mining company under which limited exploration activities occurred at or near the site.
In August 2018, the EPA informed Hecla Limited that it and several other PRPs may be liable for cleanup of the site or for costs incurred by the EPA in cleaning up the site. The EPA did not include an amount of its alleged response costs to date. Hecla Limited cannot with reasonable certainty estimate the amount or range of liability, if any, relating to this matter because of, among other reasons, the lack of information concerning past or anticipated future costs at the site and the relative contributions of contamination by various other PRPs.
Potential Regulatory Action in Quebec
As previously disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K, in May, 2023, the wall of an impoundment dam storing mixed waste material (i.e. clay, till, and rock, but not tailings or other deleterious materials) stripped during open pit mining at Casa Berardi experienced a slip resulting in the waste material being mobilized downstream. The incident is under investigation by the Quebec Ministry of Environment, Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (“MELCCFP”), and possibly other Provincial or Federal regulators. As a result of such investigation(s), it is possible that our Hecla Quebec subsidiary and its directors and officers could face an enforcement action. An enforcement action could lead to monetary penalties, which could range from tens of thousands of dollars (Canadian) to millions of dollars (Canadian). Based on a review of precedent by Quebec legal counsel, we do not believe any penalties would be material to Hecla, but it is possible that they could be material. In addition, our future permitting efforts at Casa Berardi could
22
be negatively impacted if the relevant regulator(s) are influenced by any alleged or actual (i) permit violations or (ii) other compliance failures. See the Risk Factor in our 2024 Form 10-K “
Our operations are subject to complex, evolving and increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with environmental regulations, and litigation based on such regulations, involves significant costs and can threaten existing operations or constrain expansion opportunities.

Debt
See
Note 7
for information on the commitments related to our debt arrangements as of September 30, 2025.
Other Commitments
Our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025
included open purchase orders and commitments of $
10.7
million, $
5.6
million, $
7.1
million, $
8.0
million and $
5.0
million for various capital and non-capital items at Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, Keno Hill, Casa Berardi and Other, respectively. We also have total commitments of $
17.2
million relating to scheduled payments on finance leases, including interest, primarily for equipment at our operations, and total commitments of $
11.9
million relating to payments on operating leases (see
Note 7
for more information). As part of our ongoing business and operations, we are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, and restricted deposits for various purposes, including financial support for environmental reclamation obligations and workers compensation programs. As of September 30, 2025
, we had surety bonds totaling $
218.8
million and letters of credit totaling
$
6.7
million
in place as financial support for future reclamation and closure costs, self-insurance, and employee benefit plans
.
The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that we address through ongoing operations. As the requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instruments cancels or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure of the sites. We believe we are in compliance with all applicable bonding requirements and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements as they arise.
Other Contingencies
We also have certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims, EPA investigations, and other commitments and are subject to a variety of environmental and safety laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business, including two active lawsuits in federal courts in Idaho and Alaska, respectively, involving labor and employment matters. We currently have no basis to conclude that any or all of such contingencies will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the future, there may be changes to these contingencies, or additional contingencies may occur, any of which might result in an accrual or a change in current accruals recorded by us, and there can be no assurance that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are applied prospectively.

Hecla Mining Company stands as North America's leading silver producer, with a rich heritage dating back to 1891. Our operations at Greens Creek, Lucky Friday and Keno Hill combined to produce 35% of 2024 silver production in the U.S. and Canada, complemented by significant gold production from Casa Berardi and Greens Creek. We began ramp-up of the Keno Hill mill during the second quarter of 2023 after acquiring it in September 2022. Our strategic positioning in the stable jurisdictions of the U.S. and Canada provides us with distinct operational advantages and reduced political risk compared to our global peers. Our operational and strategic framework centers on four core pillars:
1.
Achieving operational excellence through standardized systems and continuous improvement
2.
Optimizing our portfolio through strategic reviews and targeting highest risk-adjusted return projects
3.
Intensifying our focus on financial discipline with a rigorous capital allocation framework
4.
Leveraging our position as North America's largest silver producer to meet growing demand from green technology markets
Third Quarter 2025 Highlights
Operational Achievements:
•
Strong Production
- We produced 4.6 million ounces of silver with increased silver production at all primary silver operations, compared to 3.6 million ounces of silver in the third quarter of 2024. We produced 40,654 ounces of gold, an increase over 32,280 ounces of gold produced in the third quarter of 2024, driven by higher grades and recoveries at Greens Creek and the continuation of underground mining at Casa Berardi.
•
Lucky Friday Surface Cooling Project Advancement
- Lucky Friday continued along a path of operational consistency, while completing key milestones of the surface cooling project (an important project to increase the cooling capacity required for the mine over the reserve mine-life). The entire project is tracking for completion in 2026.
•

- Clean Water Act Section 404 permit issued for dry stack tailings expansion project, with work to begin in the fourth quarter
Financial Performance:
•
Revenue Generation
- Generated record sales of $409.5 million, a 67% increase over the third quarter of 2024.
•
Continuous Improvement
- Keno Hill generated gross profit of $16.4 million, driven by higher realized prices and consistent production, the third consecutive quarter with gross profit which generated cash flow from operations of $22.1 million.
•
Shareholder Returns
- Generated net income applicable to common stockholders of $100.6 million, compared to $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 and returned $2.2 million in dividends to common stockholders.

25
Year to date 2025 Highlights
Operational Achievements:
•
Strong Production
- Progress at key operations delivering 13.2 million ounces of silver with increased silver production at all primary silver operations. Produced 120,781 ounces of gold, driven by higher grades and recoveries at Greens Creek and the continuation of underground mining, exceeding the year-to-date period in 2024.
•
Greens Creek Gold Performance
- Continued robust gold production attributable to grade exceeding plan
•
Libby Exploration Project Advancement
- The U.S. Forest Service issued the final decision notice and finding of no significant impact for our 100% owned copper-silver Libby Exploration Project in Montana. The significant milestone advances the exploration phase of a key asset in our property portfolio.
Financial Performance:
•
Revenue Generation
- Generated record sales of $974.9 million, a 43% increase over the 2024 comparable period sales.
•
Continuous Improvement
- Turned Keno Hill profitable for the first time under our ownership, delivering $17.7 million in gross profit and made consistent gross profit at Casa Berardi with $77.7 million of gross profit generated, a significant improvement over the 2024 comparable period's gross loss of $21.4 million.
•
Shareholder Returns
- Generated net income applicable to common stockholders of $186.9 million, compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $23.5 million in the comparable 2024 period and returned $7.3 million in dividends to common stockholders.
•
Investment in Operations
- Made capital expenditures of approximately $170.0 million, including $31.3 million at Greens Creek, $48.3 million at Lucky Friday, $45.1 million at Casa Berardi and $42.2 million at Keno Hill.

- Redeemed $212 million of our Senior Notes using proceeds from the sale of stock under our ATM program. In addition, cash flow from operating activities of $345.6 million allowed for full repayment of IQ notes and no balance drawn on the revolving credit facility.
External Factors that Impact our Results
Our financial results vary as a result of fluctuations in market prices primarily for silver and gold and, to a lesser extent, zinc, lead and copper. World market prices for these commodities have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. To date, tariffs have not materially impacted our financial results. However, future tariffs or other global trade restraints could impact our performance. Historically our US operations have had significant sales into China and Canada, and each of those countries is or could be subject to tariffs, and each has or may retaliate in kind. Notwithstanding these recent developments, we believe that the outlook for precious metals fundamentals is favorable due to macro-economic factors such as lower interest rate expectations, geopolitical uncertainty and global growth expectations, which have resulted in significant volatility in the financial and commodities markets, including the precious metals market. See Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2024 Form 10-K, and Part II, Item 1A of our first and second quarter 2025 Form 10-Q for further discussion. Because we cannot control the price of our products, except to the extent we have entered into hedging transactions, the key measures that management focuses on in operating our business are production volumes, payable sales volumes, Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce (non-GAAP) and All-In Sustaining Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce (“AISC”) (non-GAAP), operating cash flows, capital expenditures, free cash flow (non-GAAP) and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). The average realized prices for all metals sold by us continued to exhibit significant volatility during the period. We have also experienced significant cost inflation across our operations, principally associated with higher energy prices, increased costs for other consumables such as reagents, explosives and steel, and higher labor and contractor costs.

Environmental remediation services revenue is generated by performing remediation work in the historical Yukon Territory mining district on behalf of the Canadian government. The scope and estimated cost of all work is agreed to in advance by the Canadian government, and the expenses incurred are passed through to the government for reimbursement with minimal margin generated by us in performing this work.

The fluctuation in sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to the following:
•
Higher average realized prices for precious metals for both periods compared to the same periods in 2024.
Higher realized prices were partly offset by lower realized prices for lead during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The table below summarizes average spot prices and our average realized prices for the commodities we sell:

Average realized prices typically differ from average market prices primarily because concentrate sales are generally recorded as revenues at the time of shipment at forward prices for the estimated month of settlement, which differ from average market prices. Due to the time elapsed between shipment of concentrates and final settlement with the customers, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our metals will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices each period through final settlement.
We recorded net positive price adjustments to provisional settlements of $10.9 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $22.0 million and $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The price adjustments related to silver, gold, zinc, lead and copper contained in our concentrate shipments were partially offset by gains and losses on forward contracts and collars for those metals. See
Note 8
of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
for more information. The gains and losses on these contracts are included in revenues and impact the realized prices for silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper. Realized prices are calculated by dividing gross revenues for each metal (which include the price adjustments and gains and losses on the forward contracts discussed above) by the payable quantities of each metal included in concentrate, doré and carbon material shipped during the period.
•
Higher quantities of all metals sold, except zinc, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the comparable 2024 periods, driven by higher production at operating sites. See
The Greens Creek Segment,
The Lucky Friday Segment, The Keno Hill Segment, and Casa Berardi Segment
sections below for more information on metal production and sales volumes at each of our operating segments. Total metals production and sales volumes for each period are shown in the following table:

The difference between what we report as “ounces/tons produced” and “payable ounces/tons sold” is attributable to the difference between the quantities of metals contained in the concentrates we produce versus the portion of those metals actually paid for by our customers according to the terms of our sales contracts. Differences can also arise from inventory
28
changes incidental to shipping schedules, or variances in ore grades which impact the amount of metals contained in concentrates produced and sold.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Other includes sales of $16.2 million and $29.9 million and total cost of sales of $16.2 million and $29.9 million respectively, from our environmental remediation services in the Yukon. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Other includes sales of $7.3 million and $15.1 million and total cost of sales of $6.8 million and $14.3 million, respectively.
While revenue from zinc, lead, copper and gold by-products is significant, we believe that identification of silver as the primary product of Greens Creek, Lucky Friday and Keno Hill is appropriate because:
•
silver has historically accounted for a higher proportion of revenue than any other metal and is expected to do so in the future;
•
we have historically presented Greens Creek and Lucky Friday as primary silver producers, based on the original analysis that justified putting the project into production, and the same analysis applies to Keno Hill. Further we believe that consistency in disclosure is important to our investors regardless of the relationships of metals prices and production from year to year;
the Greens Creek, Lucky Friday and Keno Hill deposits are massive sulfide deposits containing an unusually high proportion of silver; and
•
in most of their working areas, Greens Creek, Lucky Friday and Keno Hill utilize selective mining methods in which silver is the metal targeted for highest recovery.
Accordingly, we believe the identification of gold, lead, zinc and copper as by-product credits at Greens Creek, Lucky Friday and Keno Hill is appropriate because of their lower economic value compared to silver and due to the fact that silver is the primary product we intend to produce at those locations. In addition, we have not consistently received sufficient revenue from any single by-product metal to warrant classification of such as a co-product.
We periodically review our revenues to ensure that reporting of primary products and by-products is appropriate. Because for Greens Creek, Lucky Friday and Keno Hill we consider zinc, lead, gold and copper to be by-products of our silver production, the values of these metals offset operating costs within our calculations of Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce. We currently do not report Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce for our Keno Hill operation as it is in the production ramp-up phase and has not met our definition of commercial production. We define an operation as being in commercial production upon achievement of the following criteria:
•
Completion of operational commissioning of each major mine and mill component;
•
Demonstrated ability to mine and mill consistently and without significant interruption, defined as 75% of historical production levels or mill design capacity over a period of 90 days;
•
Silver recoveries are at or near expected steady-state production levels;
•
All major capital expenditures have been completed; and
•
A significant portion of available funding is directed towards operating activities.
Currently we meet only one of the above criteria - silver recoveries are at expected steady-state production levels. Determination of when these criteria have been met requires the use of judgment, and our definition of commercial production may differ from that of other mining companies.
As Keno Hill has not yet been determined to be in commercial production, its costs and by-product credits are excluded from our consolidated Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce because (i) by definition it has not reached the sustaining stage and (ii) including its costs and by-product credits we believe would distort consolidated Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce of our operating silver mines that are in commercial production and operating as designed, and would not facilitate a meaningful comparison of our performance versus that of our peers who do not report such metrics for mines that are not in commercial production.
We believe the identification of silver as a by-product credit is appropriate at Casa Berardi because of its lower economic value compared to gold and due to the fact that gold is the primary product we produce there. In addition, we do not receive sufficient revenue from silver at the Casa Berardi mine to warrant classification of such as a co-product. Because we consider silver to be a by-product of our gold production at Casa Berardi, the value of silver offsets operating costs within our calculations of Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce.
We reported net income applicable to common stockholders of $100.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net income applicable to common stockholders of $1.6 million in the comparable 2024 period. The following were the significant drivers of the change:
•
Consolidated gross profit increased by $121.2 million. See
The Greens Creek Segment,
The Lucky Friday Segment, The Keno Hill Segment, and The Casa Berardi Segment
sections below for a discussion on the key drivers by operation.
•
Ramp-up and suspension costs decreased by $10.4 million primarily due to the current period containing no ramp-up costs for Keno Hill, as the site recorded gross profit, whereas in the prior period total cost of sales in excess of sales by $10.0 million were transferred to ramp-up and suspension costs.
•
Fair value adjustments, net increased by $14.0 million primarily due to $25.3 million in unrealized gains on our marketable equity securities portfolio, partly offset by losses on undesignated derivative contracts of $7.6 million.
The positive movements mentioned above were partly offset by:
•
General and administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million primarily due to higher incentive compensation driven by improved financial and operational performance, and strategic headcount increases.
•
Interest expense increased by $2.5 million primarily due to the early partial redemption of Senior Notes, partly offset by lower interest expense on the revolving credit facility, having been fully repaid during August.
30
•
Other operating expense (income), net increased by $3.2 million primarily due to a loss on disposal of one of our non-strategic exploration properties.
•
Income and mining tax expense increased by $43.4 million due to higher taxable income generated by our US and Quebec operations.
We reported net income applicable to common stockholders of $186.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net income applicable to common stockholders of $23.5 million in the comparable 2024 period. The following were the significant drivers of the change:
•
Consolidated gross profit increased by $244.1 million. See
The Greens Creek Segment,
The Lucky Friday Segment, The Keno Hill Segment, and The Casa Berardi Segment
sections below for a discussion on the key drivers by operating unit.
•
Ramp-up and suspension costs decreased by $23.0 million due to the current period containing no ramp-up costs for Keno Hill, as the site recorded gross profit, whereas in the prior period total cost of sales in excess of sales by $20.4 million were transferred to ramp-up and suspension costs. In addition, the prior period included $2.2 million of suspension costs related to the temporary suspension of operations at Lucky Friday due to the underground fire prior to the restart of operations on January 8, 2024.
•
Fair value adjustments, net increased by $24.1 million primarily due to $33.7 million in unrealized gains on our marketable equity securities portfolio and $2.9 million of losses on undesignated derivative contracts.
The positive movements mentioned above were partly offset by:
•
Other operating expense (income), net increased by $38.0 million primarily due to the prior period containing $50.0 million of insurance proceeds received related to the Lucky Friday fire, partially offset by $14.5 million write down of property, plant and mine development in 2024.
•
Net foreign exchange loss increased by $7.0 million, to a loss of $3.6 million compared to a gain of $3.4 million in the comparable period, driven by a weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar during the current year.
•
Income and mining tax expense increased by $81.2 million due to higher taxable income generated by our US and Quebec operations.

.
The $53.4 million increase in gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to higher realized sales prices for silver and gold, in addition to higher sales volumes for all metals, except zinc.
Capital additions in the current quarter were $0.7 million higher compared to the same period in 2024. Current quarter costs included $2.9 million for mining equipment and related costs, $2.9 million for surface related equipment, $2.4 million for mine development and $2.3 million for primary ore access development.
Production of all metals increased during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a combination of higher tons milled and higher grades.
The $98.7 million increase in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to higher realized sales prices for silver, gold and zinc, except lead, and higher sales volumes for gold.
Capital additions during the year were $0.7 million lower compared to the same period in 2024 and included $9.8 million for mining and surface equipment, $8.3 million for primary ore access development, $5.8 million for mine development, $2.9 million for definition drilling and $1.6 million for a cleaner cell replacement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, silver production increased compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher grades and gold production increased by approximately 16% due to a combination of higher grades and recoveries.

Gross profit increased by $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the comparable period in 2024, reflecting a combination of higher sales volumes for silver and lead and realized prices for silver and zinc. However, the benefit of higher production and prices has been partly offset by higher costs, reflected in higher production costs per ton which have increased by 11%. The higher costs primarily relate to: (i) hourly employee profit sharing costs due to higher silver prices and production; (ii) property and liability insurance resulting from higher asset values and coverage limits; (iii) higher employee medical costs related to headcount growth and inflation in medical care costs; and (iv) consumables and repairs to support increased production.
Gross profit increased by $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting a combination of higher sales volumes for all metals due to a full nine months of production in 2025, compared to 2024 when
34
operations did not resume until January 9, 2024, following suspension of operations in August 2023, due to the underground fire in the secondary egress. Higher realized prices for silver and zinc also positively contributed to the higher gross profit. However, the benefit of higher production and prices has been partly offset by higher costs, reflected in higher production costs per ton which have increased by 8%. For the year, the higher costs relate to the factors stated above, in addition to: (i) an increase in mine hourly headcount to reduce reliance on more expensive contractors and support higher production; (ii) higher profit sharing attributable to increased profitability; (iii) higher equipment maintenance costs related to parts as the mine continued to execute our equipment maintenance standards while supporting increased tonnage; and (iv) higher waste rock removal haulage costs.
While certain cost elements will persist as the mine maintains steady and consistent production, we have identified potential cost mitigation plans. These plans include further reduction of contractors, mining method optimization to improve production efficiency and reduction of consumables usage, mine and mill infrastructure upgrades to increase production and reduce maintenance, and consolidation of sourcing of some high-volume consumables to improve pricing. However, there can be no assurance these efforts will be successful in reducing costs or offsetting the potential future impacts of inflation or other factors impacting profitability.
Capital additions increased by $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Significant capital expenditures during the three months ended September 30, 2025, included tailings storage pond 5 construction of $6.7 million, capital development of $5.5 million, and bolter additions of $2.1 million and surface cooling project of $1.9 million.
Capital additions increased by $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, and included $18.0 million for capital development, $8.3 million for tailings storage pond 5 construction, $8.2 million for the surface cooling project, $5.7 million for definition drilling, $3.6 million for bolter and jumbo additions, $2.7 million for a shaft renovation and $1.0 million for a haul truck replacement.

Despite higher production costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025, Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce are comparable to the same period in 2024 primarily due to improved grades which drove higher silver production. However, AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased compared to the same period in 2024 driven by higher sustaining capital expenditures related to capital development and pond 5 construction.
The increase in Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to lower by-product credits and higher production costs, partly offset by higher silver production reflecting a full year's production compared to operations only commencing on January 9, 2024 due to the underground fire in the secondary egress in August 2023. AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce was also negatively impacted by higher sustaining capital.

We have not disclosed cost per ounce statistics for the Keno Hill operation as it is in the production ramp-up phase and has not met our definition of commercial production. See above
"Consolidated Results of Operations"
for our definition of commercial production. Determination of when those criteria have been met requires the use of judgment, and our definition of commercial production may differ from that of other mining companies.
We acquired our Keno Hill operation as part of the Alexco Resource Corp. acquisition in September 2022 and have focused on development activities and began ramp-up of the mill during the second quarter of 2023. The average mill throughput during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 307 tons per day (the mine is currently permitted to a maximum of an average of 440 tons per day), with silver grades milled of 30.0 ounces per ton. During the year, the mill has relied on existing ore stockpiles as the mine continues to focus on development and ramp up to higher tonnage rates with mining rates of 273 tons per day during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with material sourced from both the Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits. Mill throughput, while currently steady, has been negatively impacted by last year's events as described below.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Keno Hill recorded sales of $47.6 million and $19.8 million, respectively, with the increase due to higher metals sales volumes and realized prices. As a result of higher revenues, Keno Hill generated gross profit of $16.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and did not transfer any total cost of sales to ramp-up and suspension costs. During the third quarter of 2024, total cost of sales in excess of sales of $10.0 million were reclassified to ramp-up and suspension costs in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, (Unaudited)
. During the quarter, Keno Hill recorded capital additions of $14.7 million, primarily related to mine development, cemented tailings backfill plant and phase 2 of the dry stack tailings facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Keno Hill recorded sales of $90.6 million and $59.6 million, respectively, with the increase in sales attributable to higher realized sales prices and volumes sold. As a result of higher revenues, Keno Hill generated gross profit of $17.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and did not transfer any total cost of sales to ramp-up and suspension costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total cost of sales in excess of sales of $20.4 million were reclassified to ramp-up and suspension costs in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, (Unaudited)
. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Keno Hill recorded capital additions of $42.2 million, primarily related to mine development, Bermingham surface backfill plant and phase 2 of the dry stack tailings facility.

From commencement of production until late August, 2024, ore production and mill throughput generally increased as planned, leading to increased levels of production (though still not reaching the permitted capacity at the mill). However, starting in mid-2024 and continuing today, Keno Hill has been impacted by external events which have affected permitting, projects and production, and delayed our ability to reach sustained, profitable production. In late June 2024, an unrelated, third party, Victoria Gold, experienced a heap leach failure at its Eagle Mine which is located near Keno Hill. This incident had several immediate and ongoing impacts on our operations. The primary impact was that we were forced to suspend milling operations at Keno Hill between August 27 and October 26, 2024 due to delays in receiving authorizations and permits because the focus of the Yukon Government (“YG”) and the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (“FNNND”) was on the Eagle Mine incident response and not on routine permitting matters. Mill operations and design and construction projects resumed during the fourth quarter of 2024. Our original planned schedule for permitting and projects has been extended, but we are taking steps, including working with regulators, to establish a viable schedule for our operational plans.
An ongoing impact of the Eagle Mine incident is the FNNND's public position on mining, which has evolved from a call to halt all mining activity to support of environmentally responsible mining practices. We continue to strengthen our partnership with the FNNND - which is important because Keno Hill is within their Traditional Territory - through enhanced environmental stewardship and community engagement initiatives, building on their support for responsible mining practices.
Then, starting in late October 2024, Keno Hill began experiencing power curtailments when the utility, Yukon Energy, experienced a turbine failure at its Aishihik hydroelectric plant in Whitehorse. That failure and Yukon Energy’s resulting focus on line maintenance, combined with cold temperatures in the Yukon (and the resulting increase in demand for power), caused Yukon Energy to reduce power to Keno Hill, resulting in the operation’s inability to fully power the mine and mill on several occasions in late 2024 and for 8 days in the first quarter of 2025. Temporary power constraints in the Yukon region impacted approximately 130,000 ounces of silver production and labor costs for idled employees of approximately $0.5 million through September 30, 2025. These conditions improved subsequent to the first quarter of 2025 when we experienced no power disruptions by Yukon Energy, and we do not expect any further disruptions as the hydroelectric plant turbine was successfully repaired in the third quarter.
Permitting is one of the most important factors in our ability to reach sustainable, profitable production at Keno Hill. Increased production means a need for increased tailings storage, waste storage, water treatment and discharge, camp space and reliable power, all of which are typical requirements for mines in the expansion phase. These projects require new or modified permits, as well as the capital to implement them. Although we continue to make progress on these normal-course permitting matters, we have yet to make up for the delays described above. In addition, as we develop new zones for ore production at Keno Hill (and our other mines), we are frequently confronted with challenging conditions such as rock quality and ground water volumes. Currently, we are developing new headings at Keno Hill to supplement existing, or replace mined out headings. At some of these new headings, we are encountering more groundwater than expected. The mine's water license has limits on the amount of water that can be discharged from the mine. Although we currently are within permitted water discharge limits, if production from these new zones would cause water discharges greater than the license allows we will need to make alternative arrangements, which likely includes seeking an amendment to our current water license. There can be no assurances that the Yukon Water Board will grant such an amendment. If we are unable to amend our license in a timely manner and we confirm that continued mining in these new zones would lead to discharges in excess of license limits, our options would then include curtailing production to remain within existing permitted discharge limits and/or developing a different operational plan to reduce discharges. Although we consider it unlikely, if none of these potential solutions is achieved, it is possible we would consider pausing production and other mining activities at the impacted areas and reassess our permitting strategy and other future operational aspects of the mine. See the Risk Factor in our 2024 Form 10-K
"We are required to obtain governmental permits and other approvals in order to conduct mining operations."
We also continue to face operational challenges such as work force availability, dilution, execution of projects, limited camp space, and the ramp-up of the Company's environmental remediation services group activities (which adds incremental demand on Keno Hill's infrastructure and resources, most notably camp space). As a result, we continue to project 2025 silver production to be comparable to 2024 levels. The projected flat production levels at Keno Hill for 2025 should allow us to focus on (i) permitting, (ii) stakeholder outreach and ensuring we have local support, (iii) projects such as tailings storage expansion and the construction of a cemented tails batch plant, (iv) mine development and (v) meeting the above-mentioned operational challenges.
As stated above, Keno Hill has generated profits at current throughput rates and prices. Our immediate focus is to advance permits and successfully execute infrastructure projects, with the goal of putting the mine on a path toward achieving its current permitted capacity of 440 tons per day which, at current prices, we project would generate positive free cash flow, while preserving expansion optionality beyond 440 tons per day. To reach 440 tons per day throughput, we would need to continue to mine ore from both the Bermingham deposit and the lower grade Flame & Moth deposit. Currently Keno Hill is not configured to sustainably produce 440 tons
38
per day
(although the mill has achieved that rate for multiple weeks on end during test run periods). Achieving 440 or higher tons per day would require targeted infrastructure investments, obtaining permits, executing projects, mine development and maintaining community support. If any one of these were not to occur, or if prices were to decrease from current prices, Keno Hill as currently configured would not be profitable, and placing the operation on care and maintenance would be an option.

Since late 2024, as mining underground was nearing the end before transitioning to production coming only from the 160 open pit, we have been strategically reviewing Casa Berardi’s place in our suite of operating mines. This review has coincided with a significant increase in the price of gold and led to opportunities to revise our plans for Casa Berardi. As a result, we currently believe the most compelling option is to continue to operate the mine, while remaining open to other strategic alternatives. At current gold prices, we believe Casa Berardi is capable of continuing cost-effective production from the west underground mine, potentially into 2027. During the third quarter 2025, the Company came to the conclusion the best alternative was to continue to operate the mine, however we will continue to assess strategic alternatives which could include: (i) sale of the asset, (ii) joint venturing the asset, (iii) spin-out of the asset, (iv) continuing to extend the underground mine, (v) purchasing ore from other mines to process at Casa Berardi’s mill, and (vi) accelerating future cash flows to capture part of the current record gold prices through a prepayment structure or other financing arrangement. Even with the underground mining extended, Casa Berardi is expected to produce less gold than its historic production levels, with production expected to conclude at the 160 open pit in 2026, with production in 2027 coming from its stockpiles. Thereafter, the current plan is for Casa Berardi to transition to a new phase focused on developing the Principal and West Mine Crown Pillar open pits. Under this plan production would resume following successful permitting and development during a production gap projected to last between 2028 and 2033. Upon successful completion of permitting, design, and construction of the new open pits (which is not assured), we expect Casa Berardi to generate substantial free cash flow at current gold prices when production resumes. This long-term approach aligns with our commitment to maximizing the value of our assets through strategic mine planning and operational flexibility.
Gross profit increased by $34.1 million to $38.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a gross profit of $4.0 million in the comparable period in 2024. The increase in gross profit is primarily related to higher realized prices and gold ounces sold, partly offset by higher contractor costs. Capital additions decreased by $5.1 million to $13.5 million during the quarter, compared to the same period in 2024, and primarily related to tailings facility construction.
Gross profit increased by $99.1 million to $77.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a gross loss of $21.4 million in the comparable period in 2024. The increase in gross profit is primarily related to higher realized prices and gold ounces sold, partly offset by higher contractor costs. The prior period gross loss also included higher depreciation expense related to accelerated depreciation of the west underground mine and product inventory net realizable value write downs of $6.3 million.
40
Capital additions of $45.1 million during the year are in line with the prior year and primarily related to tailings facility construction.
Although Casa Berardi generated gross profits during the last four quarters and free cash flow during the last two quarters, it reported gross losses and outflows of cash during the prior three fiscal years. This lack of profitability and free cash flow generation, the expected hiatus in future production discussed above, the uncertainty surrounding permitting and pit design and construction, and the time involved to resolve these uncertainties, has caused us to undertake a review of how Casa Berardi fits into the Company's future strategy. While it is possible we may continue down the path towards future production at the Principal and West Mine Crown Pillar pits, we are also examining potential strategic alternatives as described above.

The decrease in Cash Cost After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce, and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to higher gold production and lower production costs. AISC, After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce benefited from lower sustaining capital over the comparable period in 2024.
The increase in Cash Cost After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to higher production costs, partly offset by higher gold production.

Corporate Matters
Income Taxes
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, an income and mining tax provision of $54.9 million and $103.6 million, resulted in an effective tax rate of 35.3% and 35.6%, respectively. This compares to an income and mining tax provision of $11.5 million and $22.3 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 86.7% and 48.3%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The comparability of our income and mining tax provision and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) mining taxes; (ii) variations in our income before income taxes; (iii) geographic distribution of that income; (iv) foreign exchange rates including non-recognition of foreign exchange gains and losses; (v) percentage depletion; and (vi) the non-recognition of tax assets. The effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period. The change in the effective tax rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the comparable periods in 2024 is primarily related to the reported consolidated income as well as the losses incurred at our consolidated Alexco subsidiaries, and our Nevada subsidiaries, for which no tax benefit is recognized due to uncertainty surrounding our ability to utilize these future tax benefits.
Each reporting period we assess our deferred tax balances based on a review of long-range forecasts and quarterly activity. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not the related tax benefits will not be realized. We analyze our deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that we will not realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined we will ultimately more likely than not be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact our ability to realize our deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are provided on deferred tax assets in Nevada, Mexico, and certain Canadian jurisdictions. For additional information, please see risk factors

Reconciliation of Total Cost of Sales to Cash Cost, Before By-product Credits and Cash Cost, After By-product Credits (non-GAAP) and All-In Sustaining Cost, Before By-product Credits and All-In Sustaining Cost, After By-product Credits (non-GAAP)
The tables below present reconciliations between the most comparable GAAP measure of total cost of sales to the non-GAAP measures of (i) Cash Cost, Before By-product Credits, (ii) Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, (iii) AISC, Before By-product Credits and (iv) AISC, After By-product Credits for our operations and for the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Ounce are measures developed by precious metals companies (including the Silver Institute and the World Gold Council) in an effort to provide a uniform standard for comparison purposes. There can be no assurance, however, that these non-GAAP measures as we report them are the same as those reported by other mining companies.
Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce is an important operating statistic that we utilize to measure each mine's operating performance. We use AISC, After By-product Credits, per Ounce as a measure of our mines' net cash flow after costs for
43
reclamation and sustaining capital. This is similar to the Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce non-GAAP measure we report, but also includes reclamation and sustaining capital costs. Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain silver and gold production. Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Ounce also allow us to benchmark the performance of each of our mines versus those of our competitors. As a silver and gold mining company, we also use these statistics on an aggregate basis - aggregating the Greens Creek and Lucky Friday mines to compare our performance with that of other silver mining companies. Similarly, these statistics are useful in identifying acquisition and investment opportunities as they provide a common tool for measuring the financial performance of other mines with varying geologic, metallurgical and operating characteristics.
We have not disclosed cost per ounce statistics for the Keno Hill operation as it is in the production ramp-up phase and has not met our definition of commercial production. See above "
Consolidated Results of Operations
" for our definition of commercial production. Determination of when those criteria have been met requires the use of judgment, and our definition of commercial production may differ from that of other mining companies.
Cash Cost, Before By-product Credits and AISC, Before By-product Credits include all direct and indirect operating cash costs related directly to the physical activities of producing metals, including mining, processing and other plant costs, third-party refining expense, on-site general and administrative costs, royalties and mining production taxes. AISC, Before By-product Credits for each mine also includes reclamation and sustaining capital costs. AISC, Before By-product Credits for our consolidated silver properties also includes corporate costs for general and administrative expense and sustaining capital costs. By-product credits include revenues earned from all metals other than the primary metal produced at each unit. As depicted in the tables below, by-product credits comprise an essential element of our silver unit cost structure, distinguishing our silver operations due to the polymetallic nature of their orebodies.
In addition to the uses described above, Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Ounce provide management and investors an indication of operating cash flow, after consideration of the average price received from production. We also use these measurements for the comparative monitoring of performance of our mining operations period-to-period from a cash flow perspective. We currently do not report Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce for our Keno Hill operation as it is in the ramp-up phase of production and accordingly it is excluded from our consolidated Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce.
Casa Berardi reports Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Gold Ounce for the production of gold, their primary product, and by-product revenues earned from silver, which is a by-product at Casa Berardi. Only costs and ounces produced relating to units with the same primary product are combined to represent Cash Cost, After By-product Credits, per Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Ounce. Thus, the gold produced at Casa Berardi is not included as a by-product credit when calculating Cash
Cost, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce and AISC, After By-product Credits, per Silver Ounce for the total of Greens Creek and Lucky Friday, our combined silver properties. Similarly, the silver produced at our other three units is not included as a by-product credit when calculating the gold metrics for Casa Berardi.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a disciplined cash management strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and provide long-term value to our stockholders. Consistent with that strategy, we aim to maintain an acceptable level of debt and sufficient liquidity to fund debt service costs, operations, capital expenditures, exploration and pre-development projects, while returning cash to stockholders through dividends and potential share repurchases.
At September 30, 2025, we had $133.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $16.8 million was held in foreign subsidiaries' local currency that we anticipate utilizing for near-term operating, exploration or capital costs by those foreign subsidiaries. At September 30, 2025, we had no amount drawn on our $225 million credit facility, with $6.7 million used for letters of credit, leaving $218.3 million available for borrowings. We also have USD cash and cash equivalent balances held by our foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. We expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with the withholding taxes. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from our U.S. operations are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.
Pursuant to our common stock dividend policy described in
Note 12
of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in our consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, our Board of Directors declared and paid dividends on our common and preferred stock of $2.7 million (2024: $8.7 million) and $7.7 million (2024: $16.7 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our common stock dividend policy anticipates paying an annual minimum dividend of $0.015 per share. Prior to the first quarter of 2025, our dividend policy previously had an additional silver-linked component which tied the amount of declared common stock dividends to our realized silver price for the preceding quarter.
The declaration and payment of dividends on our common stock is at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to declare and pay common stock dividends in the future.
Pursuant to our stock repurchase program described in
Note 12
of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in our consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, we are authorized to repurchase up to 20 million shares of our outstanding common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued by us at any time. Whether or not we engage in repurchases from time to time may depend on a variety of factors, including not only price and cash resources, but customary black-out restrictions, whether we have any material inside information, limitations on share repurchases or cash usage that may be imposed by our credit agreement or in connection with issuances of securities, alternative uses for cash, applicable law, and other investment opportunities from time to time.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 934,100 shares had been purchased in prior periods at an average price of $3.99 per share, leaving 19.1 million shares that may yet be purchased under the program. We have not repurchased any shares since June 2014.
As discussed in
Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
pursuant to an equity distribution agreement dated February 18, 2021, as of September 30, 2025, there were 197,988 remaining shares of our common stock that we may offer and sell from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings. Sales of the shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers transactions or as otherwise agreed between the Company and the agents as principals. Whether or not we engage in sales from time to time may depend on a variety of factors, including share price, our cash resources, customary black-out restrictions, and whether we have any material inside information. The equity distribution agreement can be terminated by us at any time. Any sales of shares under that agreement are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 35,959,328 shares under the agreement, with the proceeds utilized to repay debt.
As a result of our current cash balances, the expected performance of our operations, current metals prices, proceeds from potential at-the-market sales of common stock, and availability under our Credit Agreement, we believe we will be able to meet our obligations and other potential cash requirements during the next 12 months and beyond. Our obligations and other uses of cash may include, but are not limited to: debt service obligations related to the Senior Notes; interest payments under our Credit Agreement; ramp up and suspension costs; capital expenditures at our operations; potential acquisitions of other mining companies or properties; regulatory matters; litigation; potential repurchases of our common stock under the program described above; and payment of dividends on common stock, if declared by our Board of Directors. On August 1, 2025, we issued a notice of redemption for a portion of our Senior Notes and redeemed $212 million of our Senior Notes plus a call premium of $3.8 million. See
Note 7
of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
for more information.
We currently estimate a range of approximately $222 to $242
million (before any lease financing) will be invested in 2025 on capital expenditures, primarily for equipment, infrastructure, and development at our mines, including $170.0 million already incurred as of September 30, 2025. We also estimate exploration and pre-development expenditures will total approximately $28.0 million in 2025, including $22.9 million already incurred as of September 30, 2025. Our expenditures for these items and our related plans for
54
2025 may change based upon our financial position, metals prices, and other considerations. Our ability to fund the activities described above will depend on our operating performance, metals prices, our ability to estimate revenues and costs, sources of liquidity available to us, including the revolving credit facility (which requires compliance with certain financial and other covenants), and other factors. A sustained downturn in metals prices, significant increase in operational or capital costs or other uses of cash, poor results of our operating units, our inability to access the credit facility or the sources of liquidity discussed above, or other factors beyond our control could impact our plans.
We may defer some capital investment and/or exploration and pre-development activities, engage in asset sales or secure additional capital if necessary to maintain liquidity. We may also pursue additional acquisition opportunities, which could require additional equity issuances or other forms of financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $225 million revolving credit facility. We had no amount drawn and $6.7 million in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2025. The amounts in the table above assume no additional amounts will be drawn in future periods, and include only the standby fee on the current undrawn balance and accrued interest.

We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business. Substantially all lease agreements have fixed payment terms based on the passage of time. Some lease agreements provide us with the option to renew the lease or purchase the leased property. Our future operating lease obligations would change if we exercised these renewal options and if we entered into additional operating lease arrangements.
(5)
On February 19, 2020, we completed an offering of $475 million in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes due February 15, 2028. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.25% per year, with interest payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, which were partially redeemed on August 18, 2025 for a redemption premium of $3.8 million. See

We record liabilities for costs associated with mine closure, reclamation of land and other environmental matters. At September 30, 2025, our liabilities for these matters totaled $127.8 million. Future expenditures related to closure, reclamation and environmental expenditures at our sites are difficult to estimate, although we anticipate we will incur expenditures relating to these obligations over the next 30 years. For additional information relating to our environmental obligations, see

Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2025, we had no existing off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC regulations, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Guarantor Subsidiaries
Presented below are Hecla’s unaudited interim condensed consolidating financial statements as required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, resulting from the guarantees by certain of Hecla's subsidiaries of the Senior Notes and IQ Notes (see
Note 7
of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
for more information). The Guarantors consist of the following of Hecla's 100%-owned subsidiaries: Hecla Limited; Silver Hunter Mining Company; Rio Grande Silver, Inc.; Hecla MC Subsidiary, LLC; Hecla Silver Valley, Inc.; Burke Trading, Inc.; Hecla Montana, Inc.; Revett Silver Company; RC Resources, Inc.; Troy Mine Inc.; Revett Exploration, Inc.; Revett Holdings, Inc.; Mines Management, Inc.; Newhi, Inc.; Montanore Minerals Corp.; Hecla Alaska LLC; Hecla Greens Creek Mining Company; Hecla Admiralty Company; Hecla Juneau Mining Company; Klondex Holdings Inc.; Klondex Gold & Silver Mining Co.; Klondex Midas Holdings Limited; Klondex Aurora Mine Inc.; Klondex Hollister Mine Inc.; Hecla Quebec, Inc.; and Alexco Resource Corp. We completed the offering of the Senior Notes on February 19, 2020 under our shelf registration statement previously filed with the SEC. We issued the IQ Notes in four equal tranches between July and October 2020.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidating financial statements below have been prepared from our financial information on the same basis of accounting as the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere in this report. Investments in the subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, the entries necessary to consolidate Hecla, the Guarantors, and our non-guarantor subsidiaries are reflected in the intercompany eliminations column. In the course of preparing consolidated financial statements, we eliminate the effects of various transactions conducted between Hecla and its subsidiaries and among the subsidiaries. While valid at an individual subsidiary level, such activities are eliminated in consolidation because, when taken as a whole, they do not represent business activity with third-party customers, vendors, and other parties. Examples of such eliminations include the following:
•
Investments in subsidiaries
. The acquisition of a company results in an investment in debt or equity capital on the records of the parent company and a contribution to debt or equity capital on the records of the subsidiary. Such investments and capital contributions are eliminated in consolidation.
•
Capital contributions
. Certain of Hecla's subsidiaries do not generate cash flow, either at all or that is sufficient to meet their capital needs, and their cash requirements are routinely met with inter-company advances from their parent companies. Generally on an annual basis, when not otherwise intended as debt, the Boards of Directors of such parent companies declare contributions of capital to their subsidiary companies, which increase the parents' investment and the subsidiaries' additional paid-in capital. Occasionally, parent companies may also subscribe for additional common shares of their subsidiaries. In consolidation, investments in subsidiaries and related additional paid-in capital are eliminated.
•
Debt.
At times, inter-company debt agreements have been established between certain of Hecla's subsidiaries and their parents. The related debt liability and receivable balances, accrued interest expense (if any) and income activity (if any), and payments of principal and accrued interest amounts (if any) by the subsidiary companies to their parents are eliminated in consolidation.
•
Dividends.
Certain of Hecla's subsidiaries which generate cash flow routinely provide cash to their parent companies through inter-company transfers. On at least an annual basis, the Boards of Directors of such subsidiary companies declare dividends to their parent companies, which reduces the subsidiaries' retained earnings and increases the parents' dividend income. In consolidation, such activity is eliminated.
•
Deferred taxes
. Our ability to realize deferred tax assets and liabilities is considered for two consolidated tax groups of subsidiaries within the United States: The Nevada U.S. Group and the Hecla U.S. Group. Within each tax group, all subsidiaries' estimated future taxable income contributes to the ability of their tax group to realize all such assets and liabilities. However, when Hecla's subsidiaries are viewed independently, we use the separate return method to assess the realizability of each subsidiary's deferred tax assets and whether a valuation allowance is required against such deferred tax assets. In some instances, a parent company or subsidiary may possess deferred tax assets whose realization depends on the future taxable incomes of other subsidiaries on a consolidated-return basis, but would not be considered realizable if such parent or subsidiary filed on a separate stand-alone basis. In such a situation, a valuation allowance is assessed on that subsidiary's deferred tax assets, with the resulting adjustment reported in the eliminations column of the guarantor and parent's financial statements, as is the case in the unaudited interim financial statements set forth below. The separate return method can result in significant eliminations of deferred tax assets and liabilities and related income tax provisions and benefits. Non-current deferred tax asset balances are included in other non-current assets on the consolidating balance sheets and make up a large portion of that item, particularly for the guarantor balances.
Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not presented because the guarantees by the Guarantors are joint and several and full and unconditional, except for certain customary release provisions, including: (1) the sale or disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor; (2) the sale or other disposition of the capital stock of the Guarantor; (3) the Guarantor is designated as
57
an unrestricted entity in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture; (4) Hecla ceases to be a borrower as defined in the indenture; and (5) upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

Item 3. Qua
ntitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following discussion about our exposure to market risks and risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as summarizes the financial instruments held by us at September 30, 2025, which are sensitive to changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates and are not held for trading purposes. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable (See
Part II, Item 1A. - Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q, Part I,
Item 1A. – Risk Factors
of our 2024 Form 10-K and
Part II, Item 1A. - Risk Factors
in our first and second quarter Form 10-Q).
Metals Prices
Changes in the market prices of silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper can significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Metals prices can and often do fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control (see
Item 1A – Risk Factors – A substantial or extended decline in metals prices would have a material adverse effect on us
in our 2024 Form 10-K). We utilize collars and financially-settled forward and put option contracts to manage our exposure to changes in prices for silver, gold, zinc and lead.
Provisional Sales
Sales of all metals products sold directly to customers, including by-product metals, are recorded as revenues when all performance obligations have been completed and the transaction price can be determined or reasonably estimated. For concentrate sales, revenues are generally recorded at the time of shipment at forward prices for the estimated month of settlement. Due to the time elapsed between shipment to the customer and the final settlement with the customer, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our metals will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the customer. Changes in metals prices between shipment and final settlement will result in changes to revenues previously recorded upon shipment. Metals prices can and often do fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control (see
Item 1A – Risk Factors –
A substantial or extended decline in metals prices would have a material adverse effect on us
in our 2024 Form 10-K). At September 30, 2025, hedged metals contained in concentrate sales and exposed to future price changes totaled 0.8 million ounces of silver, 9,150 tons of zinc and 5,400 tons of lead. If the price for each metal were to change by 10%, the change in the total value of the hedged concentrates sold would be approximately $7.1 million. As discussed in
Note 8
of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
, we utilize a program designed and intended to mitigate the risk of negative price adjustments with limited mark-to-market financially-settled forward contracts for our silver, gold, zinc, lead and copper sales.
Commodity-Price Risk Management
See
Note 8
of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
for a description of our commodity-price risk management program.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
We operate and have mining interests in Canada, which exposes us to risks associated with fluctuations in the exchange rates between the USD and the CAD. We determined the functional currency for our Canadian operations is the USD. As such, foreign exchange gains and losses associated with the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities from CAD to USD are recorded to earnings each period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $0.3 million and net foreign exchange loss of $3.6 million, compared to a net foreign exchange loss of $3.2 million and a net foreign exchange gain of $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Foreign currency exchange rates are influenced by a number of factors beyond our control. A 10% change in the exchange rate between the USD and CAD from the rate at September 30, 2025 would have resulted in a change of approximately $7.9 million in our net foreign exchange gain or loss. We do not hedge the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities. We do hedge some of our operating and capital costs denominated in CAD.
See
Note 9
of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
for a description of our foreign currency risk management program.

Item 4. Con
trols and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management (including our CEO and CFO), were effective as of September 30, 2025, in assuring them in a timely manner that material information required to be disclosed in this report has been properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Item 1A. Ris
k Factors
Item 1A. – Risk Factors
of our 2024 Form 10-K and
Part II, Item 1A. - Risk Factors
in our first and second quarter Form 10-Q set forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
Mine closure and reclamation regulations impose substantial costs on our operations and include requirements that we provide financial assurance supporting those obligations. These costs could significantly increase and we might not be able to provide financial assurance.
We are required by U.S. federal and state laws and regulations and by laws and regulations in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate to reclaim our mining properties, which typically includes filing of a closure plan with the applicable regulator. The specific requirements may change and vary among jurisdictions, but they are similar in that they aim to minimize long term effects of exploration and mining disturbance by requiring the control of possible deleterious effluents and re-establishment to some degree of pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation. Mine closure plans are subject to periodic review and update requirements. In the course of reviewing or updating closure plans, it is common for the estimates, plans, costs and other details of the plan to be revised. Some of these revisions can be significant, including estimated closure cost increases. For example, our Casa Berardi mine is likely to soon update its mine closure plan. Currently we have recorded a $18.5 million liability for reclamation and closure costs at Casa Berardi. We believe that it is possible that we may need to materially increase that liability to reflect the updated closure plan. See the risk factors in our 2024 Form 10-K,
“Our environmental and asset retirement obligations may exceed the provisions we have made,” “Our accounting and other estimates may be imprecise”
and
“We are required to obtain governmental permits and other approvals in order to conduct mining operations.”
In some cases, we are required to provide financial assurances as security for reclamation costs, which may exceed our estimates for such costs. Similarly, our reclamation costs may exceed the financial assurances in place and those assurances may ultimately be unavailable to us. We often satisfy financial assurance requirements by posting surety bonds or cash collateral however, we may be unable to obtain the required surety bonds or may not have the resources to provide cash collateral, and the bonds or collateral may not fully cover the cost of reclamation and any such shortfall could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Further, when we use the services of a surety company to provide the required bond for reclamation, the surety companies often require us to post collateral with them. Currently we utilize letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility as the source of such collateral, and as a result, there are less funds available for us to borrow under the facility for other purposes. In the event that we are unable to obtain necessary bonds or to post sufficient collateral, we may experience a material adverse effect on our operations or financial results. See the risk factors below in our 2024 Form 10-K,
“Our existing stockholders are effectively subordinated to the holders of our Senior Notes", “Any downgrade in the credit ratings assigned to us or our debt securities could increase future borrowing costs, adversely affect the availability of new financing and may result in increased collateral requirements under our existing surety bond portfolio,”
and
“Mine closure and reclamation regulations impose substantial costs on our operations, and include requirements that we provide financial assurance supporting those obligations. These costs could significantly increase, and we might not be able to provide financial assurance.”
The EPA and other state, provincial or federal agencies may also require financial assurance for investigation and remediation actions that are required under settlements of enforcement actions under CERCLA or equivalent state or foreign regulations. Currently there are no financial assurance requirements for active mining operations under CERCLA, and a lawsuit filed by several environmental organizations which sought to require the EPA to adopt financial assurance rules for mining companies with active mining operations was dismissed by a federal court. In the future, financial assurance rules under CERCLA, if adopted, could be financially material and adverse to us. See the risk factors in our 2024 Form 10-K,
“Our operations are subject to complex, evolving and increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with environmental regulations, and litigation based on such regulations, involves significant costs and can threaten existing operations or constrain expansion opportunities”
and
“We are required to obtain governmental permits and other approvals in order to conduct mining operations.”
