Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Basis 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, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”). 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 six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
On March 25, 2026, we completed the previously announced sale of our wholly owned subsidiary Hecla Quebec Inc. (“Hecla Quebec”), which owned the Casa Berardi mine and other exploration properties in Quebec, Canada, to Orezone Gold Corporation (“Orezone”) for total undiscounted consideration of up to $601.7 million. The transaction represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results and therefore, beginning with the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2026, the Casa Berardi operation is no longer a reportable segment and its financial results are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation for all periods presented, including prior periods which have been recast to reflect this presentation. Unless otherwise specified, these notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations. See Note 13. Sale of Hecla Quebec Inc. and Discontinued Operationsfor additional information.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we also completed the sale of our immaterial Mexican subsidiaries, Minera Hecla and Industrias Hecla, as we executed on our strategic decision to exit Mexico. Minera Hecla was engaged in rehabilitation activities of the former San Sebastian mine site. Total cash consideration of $5.2 million was received, and we recognized a loss of $2.4 million.
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, and (ii) doré containing silver and gold. We are currently organized and managed inthree segments: Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, and Keno Hill.
We regularly review our segment reporting for alignment with our strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and the allocation of resources by our 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 gross profit. For all segments, the CODM uses segment gross profit to assess segment performance and allocate resources for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and quarterly 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 drive the financial performance of our reportable segments are (i) salaries, wages and other benefits, (ii) contractors, (iii) materials and 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 metal 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 (loss) to income before income and mining taxes are not related to our reportable segments.

Note 3. Income and Mining Taxes
Major components of our income and mining tax for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended · Six Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, | June 30, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Current: | ||||
| Domestic | $(11,912) | $(2,271) | $(33,114) | $(5,328) |
| Foreign | 1,244 | (15) | (576) | (15) |
| Total current income and mining tax provision | (10,668) | (2,286) | (33,690) | (5,343) |
| Deferred: | ||||
| Domestic | (9,098) | (18,571) | (34,143) | (30,295) |
| Foreign | 999 | (1,254) | (1,834) | (2,110) |
| Total deferred income and mining tax provision | (8,099) | (19,825) | (35,977) | (32,405) |
| Total income and mining tax provision | $(18,767) | $(22,111) | $(69,667) | $(37,748) |
The income and mining tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 varies from the amounts that would have resulted from applying the statutory tax rates to pre-tax income primarily due to the impact of taxation in foreign jurisdictions, domestic and foreign mining taxes, percentage depletion, non-recognition of net operating losses, the tax effect of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and subpart F income inclusion, foreign exchange gains and losses in certain jurisdictions, and the tax effects of the entity classification election discussed below.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we used the annual effective tax rate method to calculate the income and mining tax provision. During the quarter we filed and were approved for an Entity Classification Election to classify Klondex Mines Unlimited Liability Co as a disregarded entity effective January 1, 2026. Effective January 1, 2026, the Klondex (USA) Group joined the US consolidated Hecla Mining Company Group's income tax filings. Due to this change in entity classification, we released a portion of the valuation allowance and revalued the state deferred tax liabilities in our Klondex USA tax group. These amounts were treated as discrete adjustments within the tax provision.
We file income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. Our Canadian subsidiaries file income tax returns in Canada, as well as in the province of British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory. We will be filing a final income tax return for Hecla Quebec Inc. for the disposition of the Casa Berardi mine during the third quarter of 2026.
Note 4. Employee Benefit Plans
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering all non-hourly U.S. employees hired prior to July 2024 and our hourly workers at the Lucky Friday mine, as well as a Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan ("SERP") covering certain eligible employees.
Net periodic pension cost for the plans consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
| Three Months EndedJune 30, | Six Months EndedJune 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Service cost | $999 | $1,068 | $1,998 | $2,136 |
| Interest cost | 2,181 | 2,094 | 4,362 | 4,188 |
| Expected return on plan assets | (2,969) | (3,251) | (5,938) | (6,502) |
| Amortization of prior service cost | 20 | 20 | 40 | 40 |
| Amortization of net loss | — | 326 | — | 652 |
| Net periodic pension cost | $231 | $257 | $462 | $514 |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the service cost component of net periodic pension cost is included in the same line items of our condensed consolidated financial statements as other employee compensation costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the net benefit related to all other components of net periodic pension cost of $0.8 million (2025: $0.8 million) and $1.5 million (2025: $1.6 million), respectively, is included in other income on ourcondensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Note 5. Income (Loss) 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.
The following table represents net income (loss) per common share – basic and diluted (in thousands, except income
(loss) per share):

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity
Warrants
We have 2,060,000 warrants outstanding at June 30, 2026, (December 31, 2025:2,068,000 warrants) following the conversion of 8,000 warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2026, each with an exercise price of $8.02. The 2,060,000 warrants outstanding expire in April 2032. The warrants were issued as part of the Klondex acquisition purchase consideration in July 2018. Each warrant entitles the warrant holder to purchase one share of our common stock. We received $64,000 for the 8,000 warrants converted.
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 information. 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. We did not sell any shares under ATM during thesix months ended June 30, 2026. Since inception, we have sold 59,802,012 shares under the ATM for total proceeds of $348.5 million, net of commissions and fees of $5.4 million.
Preferred Stock
During six months ended June 30, 2026,3,220 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 10,354 shares of our common stock.
Stock-based Compensation Plans
We have stock incentive plans for executives, directors, and eligible employees, under which performance stock units, restricted stock units, and shares of common stock are granted. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units and performance-based grants to employees, totaled $2.0 million (2025: $3.0 million) and $4.8 million (2025: $4.9 million), respectively. At June 30, 2026, therewas $22.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.5 years.
The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation grants awarded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026:
| Grant date | Award type | Number granted | Grant date fair value per share |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 23, 2026 | Restricted stock | 573,134 | 15.98 |
| June 23, 2026 | Performance based | 311,244 | 23.33 |
Pursuant to our directors stock plan,86,532 shares (2025:179,836) with a value of $1.4 million (2025: $1.0 million) were awarded to our directors and recorded as stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
In connection with the vesting of incentive and share-based compensation, certain employees have in the past, at their election and when permitted by us, chosen to satisfy their minimum tax withholding obligations through net share settlement, pursuant to which we withhold the number of shares necessary to satisfy such tax withholding obligations and pay the obligations in cash. As a result, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we withheld 223,404 shares valued at $3.3 million, or $15.07 per share and 270,538 shares valued at $4.5 million, or $16.74 per share, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we withheld 151,976 shares valued at $0.9 million, or $5.82 per share.
Common and Preferred Stock Dividends
During the first two quarters of 2026, our Board of Directors declared and we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.00375 per common share, pursuant to our dividend policy. In addition, during the first two quarters of 2026, our Board of Directors declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.875 on its Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.

Note 7. Debt, Credit Agreement and Leases
On April 9, 2026, we repaid the remaining $263 million of our 7.25% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") for a total payment of $265.8 million, including interest of $2.8 million. The full redemption of the Senior Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $0.9 million related to the remaining portion of deferred debt issuance costs, which were recorded as part of Interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. At December 31, 2025, our debt consisted entirely of our Senior Notes.
The following table summarizes our long-term debt balances as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

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, plus a $75 million accordion option, with a maturity date of July 21, 2028 (accelerated to August 15, 2027 if our Senior Notes were not refinanced by that date), the proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes.
At June 30, 2026, wehadno amounts drawn and$3.5 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 June 30, 2026.
Note 8. Derivative Instruments
General
Our current risk management policy provides that up to 75% of the next five years of our foreign currency, lead and zinc metals prices and silver and gold price exposure may be covered under a derivatives program with certain other limitations. Within this period we can hedge up to 100% of a specific exposure, provided the derivative allows us to participate 100% in the upside. Our program also utilizes derivatives to manage price risk exposure created from the date 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 Keno Hill operation are USD-functional currency entities which routinely incur Canadian dollar ("CAD") denominated expenses. Such expenses expose us to exchange rate fluctuations, for which we have a program to manage our exposure to fluctuations of these subsidiaries' future CAD denominated operating and capital costs. The program utilizes forward contracts to buy CAD, and are not designated as cash flow hedges.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, realized losses of $0.9 million related to derivatives designated to our previously held Casa Berardi operation were transferred from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) into discontinued operations (three and six months ended June 30, 2025: $1.0 million loss and $2.8 million loss, respectively).
As of June 30, 2026, we have a total of 135 forward contracts outstanding to buy a total of CAD $91.8 million having a notional amount of USD $66.3 million to provide economic hedges to the following exposures in 2026 and 2027:
Forecasted cash operating expenditures at Keno Hill of CAD $51.3 million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of 1.3814.
Forecasted capital expenditures at Keno Hill of CAD $29.8 million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of 1.3857.
Forecasted exploration expenditures at Keno Hill of CAD $7.3 million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of 1.388.
Forecasted Corporate expenditures of CAD $3.3 million at an average CAD-to-USD exchange rate of 1.3817.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we recorded the following balances for the fair value of the forward contracts (in millions):
| June 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance sheet line item: | 2026 | 2025 |
| Other current assets | $0.3 | $1.1 |
| Other current liabilities | 2.1 | (0.8) |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, net losses of $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, (2025: $5.4 million and $5.5 million gain), were recognized.
Metals Prices
We currently utilize a combination of derivatives including financially-settled forward contracts, commodity price collars, and commodity price put options to manage the 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, lead, and silver contained in our forecasted future concentrate shipments.
The following tables summarize the quantities of metals committed under forward metals contracts at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 which are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges:
| June 30, 2026 | Pounds under contract (in 000's) | Average price per pound | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2027 settlements | 23,810 | — | 1.36 | N/A |
We utilize Collars to manage our exposure to changes in the price of precious metals in both our provisional concentrate sales and forecasted Keno Hill future concentrate shipments. 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, should market prices rise higher. This strategy helps protect us from significant price drops while still allowing for some upside participation within the minimum and maximum price range. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, these Collars had net gains of $12.6 million and net losses of $9.7 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2025: $0.8 million and $0.2 million loss, respectively). The collars are not designated as cash flow hedges.
The following table summarizes the quantities of silver and gold ounces committed under collars at June 30, 2026.
| Settlement Period · Ounces under contract · Average strike price per silver ounce · Average strike price per gold ounce | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver (ounces) | Gold (ounces) | Minimum ($) | Maximum ($) | Minimum ($) | Maximum ($) | |

| 2026 settlements | 475,000 | 370 | 72.60 | 82.35 | 4,600.00 | 4,900.00 |
In December 2025, we entered into financially-settled put option contracts to manage the exposure of future silver sales to potential declines in silver market prices. These put options give us the option, but not the obligation, to realize established prices on quantities of silver to be sold in the future. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized net losses of $6.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively, on these puts. The following table summarizes the quantities of metals for which we have entered into put contracts and the strike price as of June 30, 2026:
| Settlement Period | Production Protected (in 000's) | Strike price per ounce |
|---|---|---|
| Silver (ounces) | ($) | |
| Contracts on forecasted sales | ||
| 2026 settlements | 6,767 | 50.00 |
We recorded the following balances for the fair value of our metals price contracts as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in millions):
| June 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance sheet line item: | 2026 | 2025 |

| Other non-current assets | — | 7.2 |
| Other current liabilities | (7.6) | (36.4) |
| Other non-current liabilities | (4.5) | (1.9) |
Net unrealized losses of $14.9 million related to the effective portion of the forward metals contracts designated as hedges were included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) as of June 30, 2026. 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 $12.3 million in net unrealized losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2026 will be reclassified to current earnings in the next twelve months.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net gain of $9.9 million (2025: $3.3 million gain), including a $0.7 million loss transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (2025: $3.0 million gain). During thesix months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net loss of $0.3 million (2025: $2.0 million loss), including a $1.6 million gain transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (2025: $5.7 million gain). 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 June 30, 2026, 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 $21.5 million as of June 30, 2026, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk. If we were in breach of any of these provisions at June 30, 2026, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $21.5 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.
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 and mutual funds held by our SERP 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 Keno Hill operation (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 derivative 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.
The gold-price linked contingent assets were part of the consideration for the sale of Hecla Quebec to Orezone (see Note 13). The contingent assets are valued quarterly using an option pricing model with observable inputs.
The Credit Agreement, which we consider to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, has a carrying and fair value of nil.

Note 11. Commitments, Contingencies and Obligations
San Mateo Creek Basin, New Mexico
In July 2018, the 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.
Contingencies Relating to former Casa Berardi Segment
In May 2023, the wall of an impoundment dam (HM3) storing mixed waste material (i.e. clay, till, and rock, but not tailings or other deleterious materials) stripped during open pit mining at our former Casa Berardi mine experienced a slip resulting in the waste material being mobilized downstream. The incident was investigated by the Quebec Ministry of Environment, Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks. This investigation resulted in the issuance in July 2026 of four Statements of Offence by the Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales (the Quebec authority responsible for prosecuting penal violations of environmental legislation) against Orezone Quebec Inc. (formerly Hecla Quebec Inc.), alleging non-compliance with the conditions of HM3's waste storage authorization and an unauthorized release of contaminants in connection with the incident described above, and seeking penalties, costs, and contributions of approximately $2.7 million in the aggregate. We are reviewing the Statements of Offence and anticipate engaging in negotiations with the government regarding these allegations.
Under the terms of our sale of Hecla Quebec to Orezone, we have agreed to reimburse Orezone for any financial penalties, fines, charges, surcharges, or other amounts payable as a result of the HM3 incident described above, excluding any remediation, closure or similar work at HM3 or any costs associated therewith. We are not liable for any portion of such penalties resulting from actions taken at Casa Berardi after closing. Another term of the transaction provides Orezone with a set-off right to reduce future deferred cash payments owed to us if the financial assurance required under Casa Berardi’s updated closure plan exceeds $150 million. Specifically, Orezone may reduce such future payments by 50% of any amount by which the required financial assurance exceeds $150 million, excluding amounts arising from the mine's post-closing actions that increase the closure scope beyond what was contemplated at the time of sale. On May 13, 2026, the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests approved the updated closure plan for Casa Berardi and fixed the total required financial assurance at CAD $237,143,712. Because this amount exceeds the $150 million threshold, Orezone has a right to reduce future deferred cash payments by 50% of the excess, converted to U.S. dollars in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, excluding amounts arising from the mine's post-closing actions that increase the closure scope beyond what is currently contemplated. We have accrued $11.5 million for the liability.
Debt
See Note 7 for information on the commitments related to our debt arrangements as of June 30, 2026.
Other Commitments
Our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2026 included open purchase orders and commitments of $9.0 million, $9.4 million and $13.4 million, for various capital and non-capital items at Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, and Keno Hill, respectively. We also have total commitments of $14.3 million relating to scheduled payments on finance leases, including interest, primarily for equipment at our Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, and Keno Hill units, and total commitments of $11.8 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 June 30, 2026, we had surety bonds totaling $221.7 millionand letters of credit totaling$3.5 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. 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 Standard Updates that Became Effective in the Current Period
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract. The ASU expands an existing scope exception under ASC 815 to exclude certain contracts with underlyings based on the operations or activities of one of the parties, such as contingent payments the Company will receive related to the permitting success of two open pits at Casa Berardi. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods therein. We early adopted ASU 2025-07 during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which includes amendments to require the disclosure of certain specific costs and expenses that are included in a relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement. Specific costs and expenses that would be required to be disclosed include: (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) depreciation, depletion and amortization from oil and gas, and other extractive sector activities, and (v) intangible asset amortization. Additionally, a qualitative description of other items is required, equal to the difference between the relevant expense caption and the separately disclosed specific costs. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and are applied either prospectively or retrospectively at the option of the Company. We are evaluating the impact of the amendments on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Note 13. Sale of Hecla Quebec Inc. and Discontinued Operations
The sale of Hecla Quebec represents a disciplined portfolio optimization and focuses capital allocation on our silver assets, which we believe to represent significant growth and value creation opportunities. We have solidified revenue exposure to silver and we are focused on operating in what we view to be the most favorable jurisdictions. We used the cash proceeds from the transaction for debt reduction and balance sheet strengthening, enhancing our financial flexibility and capacity to invest in strategic growth investment opportunities.
As part of the sale of Hecla Quebec, we received total consideration with a fair value of$385.7 million comprised of the following:
Cash of$170.0 million upon closing on March 25, 2026
Accounts receivable related to working capital adjustments of $16.6 million
65,757,265 Orezone common shares valued at $106.1 million at closing
Deferred cash consideration ("Deferred Cash Consideration") with a fair value of $57.1 million for the cash payments of $30 million and $50 million to be paid by Orezone 18 months and 30 months after closing, respectively
Contingent cash consideration ("Contingent Cash Consideration") with a fair value of $35.9 million for a total of up to $241 million of undiscounted payments consisting of:
o
A fair value of $3.3 million for two annual gold-price related payments of $5 million each should the average gold price exceed $4,200/oz for the first and second years following closing
o
A fair value of $9.9 million for two contingent payments of $10 million each due upon issuance of certain permits to open pit mine two additional identified orebodies
o
A fair value of $22.7 million for certain future gold production-based royalty payments with an undiscounted value of up to $211 million ($80/ounce for the first 500,000 ounces, then $180/ounce thereafter from future open pit operations)
Orezone has a set-off right to reduce the unpaid balance of the Deferred Cash Consideration by 50% of the amount by which the financial assurance required by the Quebec government under the updated Casa Berardi closure plan exceeds $150 million, excluding increases caused by Orezone's post-closing actions. The closure excess amount has been included in determining the fair value of the Deferred Cash consideration.
The fair value of the Deferred Cash Consideration was determined using a present value model by reference to Orezone's estimated credit rating and considering the expected closure excess amount to be withheld from the first payment. The Deferred Cash Consideration payments have been classified as non-current receivables, which is included in other non-current assets on the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, due to being contractual rights to receive cash at 18 and 30 months, and have been recorded at amortized cost. The discount will be unwound in line with the effective interest method and recognized as interest income over the respective payment periods for each payment.
The fair value of each Contingent Cash Consideration payment to be received was determined by using an option pricing model, with significant assumptions including the following: expected success and timing of permitting, the timing of when production would commence, forward gold prices, and Orezone's estimated credit rating. The Company concluded that each contingent consideration payment to be received is a financial asset as it will be settled in cash. The Company next evaluated whether each contingent consideration payment is within the scope of ASC 815"Derivatives and Hedging"or not. For the contingent consideration payment to be received linked to future gold prices, we concluded that the underlying being the gold price is a market rate, and that the fair value of this contingent consideration payment is assessed at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The contingent consideration payments linked to future assets have been classified as current and non-current receivables, which is included in other current and non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, due to being contractual rights to receive cash at 12 and 24 months, and have been recorded at fair value.
For the contingent consideration payments linked to permitting success and future production following permitting success, we concluded these contingent consideration payments are not within the scope of ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" as the receipt of the permits and future production are subject to operational and/or regulatory factors. The Company elected to follow the guidance in ASC 450, Contingencies which requires subsequent assessment for indicators of impairment. Additionally, payment received in excess of initial fair value recorded will be recognized as gains in the period received. The contingent consideration payments linked to permitting success and future production following permitting success, have been classified as non-current receivables, which is included in other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We recognized a loss of $192.5 million, upon the sale of Hecla Quebec which is reported within loss from discontinued operations, net of income and mining taxes on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
