The investigation by a law firm for current long term investors in NYSE: HL stocks follows a lawsuit filed against Hecla Mining Company over alleged securities laws violations. The investigation on behalf of current long term investors in NYSE: HL stocks, concerns whether certain Hecla Mining directors are liable in connection with the allegations made in that lawsuit.

The plaintiff alleges that the Defendants falsely and misleadingly represented that the Nevada operations would be "accretive" and cash flow positive, or at the very least "self-funding", but this was not true. As admitted by the Defendants at the end of the Class Period, the Defendants knew from their extensive due diligence that the Nevada mines faced many undisclosed material problems that would prevent the operations from being cash flow positive, or even cash flow neutral. Specifically, Defendants were aware from their extensive due diligence that the Nevada operations had material problems in terms of excessive water, equipment availability, achieving enough development to have consistent production, and lack of characterization of ore types, among other things.

Those who purchased shares of Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
