<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">On September 14, 2018, Hecla Mining Company (the &ldquo;<u>Company</u>&rdquo;) filed a technical report concerning the Fire Creek mine owned by one of its subsidiaries entitled &ldquo;Technical Report for the Fire Creek Project, Lander County, Nevada&rdquo; dated June 28, 2018, with an effective date of April 1, 2018 (the &ldquo;<u>Fire Creek Report</u>&rdquo;) with securities regulatory authorities in Canada via SEDAR. The Fire Creek Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (&ldquo;<u>NI 43-101</u>&rdquo;) by Practical Mining LLC.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The Company has previously filed technical reports under NI 43-101 for the San Sebastian, Casa Berardi, Greens Creek and Lucky Friday mines (together with the Fire Creek Report, the &ldquo;<u>Reports</u>&rdquo;) owned by subsidiaries of the Company with securities regulatory authorities in Canada via SEDAR. The Reports as filed on SEDAR are available at <u>www.sedar.com</u>.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;"><b>Cautionary Statements to Investors on Reserves and Resources</b></p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Reporting requirements in the United States for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the SEC and included in the SEC&#39;s Securities Act Industry Guide 7, entitled &ldquo;Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations&rdquo; (&ldquo;<u>Guide 7</u>&rdquo;). However, the Company is also a &ldquo;reporting issuer&rdquo; under Canadian securities laws, which require estimates of mineral resources and reserves to be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 requires all disclosure of estimates of potential mineral resources and reserves to be disclosed in accordance with its requirements. Such Canadian information is being included here to satisfy the Company&#39;s &ldquo;public disclosure&rdquo; obligations under Regulation FD of the SEC and to provide U.S. holders with ready access to information publicly available in Canada.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Reporting requirements in the United States for disclosure of mineral properties under Guide 7 and the requirements in Canada under NI 43-101 standards are substantially different. The Reports contain certain estimates, not only of proven and probable reserves within the meaning of Guide 7, but also of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates estimated in accordance with the definitional standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in NI 43-101. Under Guide 7, the term &ldquo;reserve&rdquo; means that part of a mineral deposit that can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.&nbsp; The term &ldquo;economically,&rdquo; as used in the definition of reserve, means that profitable extraction or production has been established or analytically demonstrated to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment and market assumptions.&nbsp; The term &ldquo;legally,&rdquo; as used in the definition of reserve, does not imply that all permits needed for mining and processing have been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely resolved. However, for a reserve to exist, the Company must have a justifiable expectation, based on applicable laws and regulations, that issuance of permits or resolution of legal issues necessary for mining and processing at a particular deposit will be accomplished in the ordinary course and in a timeframe consistent with the Company&rsquo;s current mine plans. The terms &ldquo;measured resources&rdquo;, &ldquo;indicated resources,&rdquo; and &ldquo;inferred resources&rdquo; are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101. These terms are not defined under Guide&nbsp;7 and are not normally permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC in the United States, except where required to be disclosed by foreign law. The term &ldquo;resource&rdquo; does not equate to the term &ldquo;reserve&rdquo;. Under Guide 7, the material described in the Reports as &ldquo;indicated resources&rdquo; and &ldquo;measured resources&rdquo; would be characterized as &ldquo;mineralized material&rdquo; and is permitted to be disclosed in tonnage and grade only, not ounces. The category of &ldquo;inferred resources&rdquo; is not recognized by Guide 7. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in such categories will ever be converted into proven or probable reserves. &ldquo;Resources&rdquo; have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of such a &ldquo;resource&rdquo; will ever be upgraded to a higher category or will ever be economically extracted. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a &ldquo;resource&rdquo; exists or is economically or legally mineable. Investors are also especially cautioned that the mere fact that such resources may be referred to in ounces of silver and/or gold, rather than in tons of mineralization and grades of silver and/or gold estimated per ton, is not an indication that such material will ever result in mined ore which is processed into commercial silver or gold.</p>
