Hecla President and CEO Phillips S. Baker, Jr. commented:

Small Footprint, Big Benefit is the focus and title of this year’s paper. Since the activities are low-tonnage and mainly underground, they have a direct impact of less than 3,900 acres, which is less than many other mining companies’ single operations. Nonetheless, they are constantly working to reduce their environmental impact while also delivering long-term economic and social support to the communities in which they function.
