Hecla Mining Company ('Hecla?) (NYSE:HL)
has postponed the release of its 2010 fourth quarter results and
associated conference call and webcast, and expects to release its
results on or before February 28, 2011. Hecla will provide notice when
the release date has been determined.
The company has decided to postpone the release of its fourth quarter
results due to ongoing settlement negotiations regarding the CERCLA
litigation involving our subsidiary Hecla Limited and historic mining
activity in the Coeur d′Alene basin in north Idaho. This does not result
from any disagreement with Hecla's auditors or any accounting or
financial irregularity.
