Included in this release are intercepts, such as 10.36 meters (true width) of 363 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (10.6 oz/ton) that includes 1.88 meter (true width) at 1,634 g/t silver (47.65 oz/ton), which generally occur within much broader zones of anomalous geochemistry. Based on current experience in the Keno Hill area, this style of mineralization may represent a high level expression of deeper mineralization.

"This confirms our initial premise that this particular structure can host significant mineralization over very favorable widths. We have traced the Esperanza structure on surface for almost 5 kilometres but have drilled a mere 100 metres from previous drilling so far.

Federal regulators’ decision to shut down the Lucky Friday Mine’s main shaft was greeted with confusion and concern Wednesday in Idaho’s Silver Valley.

Officials at Hecla Mining Co., which operates the underground silver mine, said it will take a year to clean the shaft to regulators’ specifications. The mine will be closed during that time, resulting in the layoffs of more than 200 employees and contractors.
