Geopolitical tensions and trade sanctions have disrupted global trade. As a result, countries as well as large multinational companies are beginning to scramble for metals. The energy transformation is adding to the demand for secure, and in many cases, in-country sources of supply. Compounding our ability to scale up to meet this increased demand is the shortage of graduates looking to work in exploration, mining, and processing. How can we attract individuals to this industry?

Hecla has been mining for more than 130 years making innovations both large and small. The most recent large innovation manages the seismicity at the United States’ deepest underground mine with a new patent-pending mining method called Underhand Closed Bench. As a result, the 80-year-old Lucky Friday mine is mining the most tons and will produce the most silver ounces in its history. This presentation will tell how Hecla approaches innovation and how the new method works.
