Hecla Montana

Hecla Montana Hecla Mining Co. is the oldest precious metals company in the U.S. We are working to develop the Montanore and Rock Creek mines in Montana.

We’re proud to own this valued resource right in Hecla’s back yard – just 50 miles from our Lucky Friday mine. The proposed Rock Creek project, located 5 miles from the town of Noxon, Montana, will be situated on 481 acres. The majority of that, comprising the tailings storage facility, will be adjacent to an existing lumber mill and 5 miles from the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness Area boundary. The

underground room-and-pillar operation will produce an estimated 6 million ounces of silver and 50 million pounds of copper annually. Over the life of the mine (currently estimated at 33-38 years), Rock Creek will provide more than 300 full-time jobs, a $667 million payroll, $175 million in tax revenue, and $400 million toward the purchase of goods and services.

Most regions don’t get the chance to work with a company that’s been operating responsibly for over a century. Lincoln County does.
Hecla brings stable jobs, modern technology, and a proven culture of safety and respect — at a time when many mining companies have abandoned the U.S. for cheaper, riskier jurisdictions.

Mining will happen somewhere — the question is where and under what standards. Choosing Hecla means choosing:

💧 Strong environmental oversight
👷 World-class worker protections
🔎 Transparent operations
🦅 American jobs and American values

Letting foreign, unregulated operations dominate the market only shifts impacts overseas and weakens our own communities.
Keeping mining in North America keeps responsibility at the center.

Hecla’s culture is grounded in respect, transparency, and continuous improvement. They listen. They adapt. They work with communities, not around them. That’s the kind of partner Lincoln County deserves — one that values people as much as production.
