Hecla Mining shares rise 6.41% intraday as higher gold/silver prices and 2025 production guidance boost investor confidence.

Hecla Mining surged 6.41% intraday trading as higher gold and silver prices coincided with strong 2025 production figures and updated 2026 guidance, reigniting investor focus on the miner’s earnings potential and balance sheet strength. Analysts highlighted a $80 fair value estimate, significantly above the current price, driven by assumptions of $100/oz silver and $4,000/oz gold, alongside a projected $1.6B annual free cash flow. The stock’s rally followed a recent pullback, with a 7.79% one-day drop and 19.04% seven-day decline, but remained within a broader 53.53% 90-day and 12-month total return context. While the disposition of Dolly Varden shares and debt prioritization were noted in separate coverage, the intraday gains were primarily attributed to renewed optimism over metal prices and operational performance.
