Hecla Mining reports Q3 adjusted EPS (2c), consensus 0c

Reports Q3 revenue $146.34M, consensus $171.57M. "Hecla reported another quarter of solid operational performance as Greens Creek achieved its best ever throughput and Lucky Friday’s production exceeded 1 million ounces for the second consecutive quarter," said Phillips Baker Jr., president and CEO. "Free cash flow generation was lower for the quarter due to deferral of the sale of about a million ounces of silver and other metals, increased capital investment in our mines, and Alexco acquisition costs. All operations are free cash flow positive year to date and reflect the strong margins at our silver operations despite lower prices and an inflationary environment."
