NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Technical Report Summary contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and the equivalent under Canadian securities laws), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections. Words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “intends”, “projects”, “believes”, “estimates”, “targets”, “anticipates” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding Hecla’s expectation for its mines and any related development or expansions, including estimated cash flows, production, revenue, costs, taxes, capital, rates of return, mine plans, material mined and processed, recoveries and grade, future mineralization, future adjustments and sensitivities and other statements that are not historical facts. Other forward-looking statements in this Report may involve, without limitation, the following:

• Probable Mineral Reserves that have been modified from Indicated Mineral Resource estimates.

• Assumed commodity prices and exchange rates.

• Proposed mine and process production plan.

• Projected mining and process recovery rates.

• Ability to market the two types of concentrate on favorable terms as shown in the LOM plan.

• Sustaining capital costs and proposed operating costs.

• Assumptions as to closure costs and closure requirements.

• Assumptions as to ability to obtain remaining outstanding permits.

• Assumptions about environmental, permitting, and social risks.

The material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information include that Hecla’s plans for development and production will proceed as expected and will not require revision as a result of risks or uncertainties, whether known, unknown, or unanticipated, to which Hecla’s operations are subject.

Estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, which could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements. Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i) there being no significant change to current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii) permitting, development, operations and expansion of Hecla’s projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans; (iii) political/regulatory developments in any jurisdiction in which Hecla operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) the exchange rate for the USD/CAD being near CAD 1.35 = USD 1.00, the

approximate rate as of the date of this Report; (v) certain price assumptions for silver, lead, and zinc; (vi) prices for key supplies being approximately consistent with current levels; (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; (viii) there being no significant changes to Hecla’s plans for 2024 and beyond with respect to availability of employees, vendors and equipment; (ix) Hecla’s plans for development and production will proceed as expected and will not require revision as a result of risks or uncertainties, whether known, unknown or unanticipated; (x) sufficient workforce is available and trained to perform assigned tasks; (xi) weather patterns and rain/snowfall within normal seasonal ranges so as not to impact operations; (xii) relations with interested parties, including First Nations and Native Americans, remain productive; (xiii) maintaining availability of water rights; (xv) factors do not arise that reduce available cash balances; and (xiv) there being no material increases in our current requirements to post or maintain reclamation and performance bonds or collateral related thereto.

In addition, material risks that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

• Unanticipated reclamation expenses.

• Unexpected variations in quantity of mineralization, grade, or recovery rates.

• Exploration risks and results, including that mineral resources are not mineral reserves, they do not have demonstrated economic viability and there is no certainty that they can be upgraded to mineral reserves through continued exploration.

• Geotechnical or hydrogeological considerations during operations being different from what was assumed.

• Failure of mining methods to operate as anticipated.

• Operating risks, including but not limited to failure of plant, equipment, or processes to operate as anticipated.

• Accidents and other risks of the mining industry.

• Silver and other metals price volatility.

• Currency fluctuations.

• Increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans.

• Community relations.

• Conflict resolution and outcome of projects or oppositions.

• Litigation, political, regulatory, labor, and environmental risks.

• Inflation causes our costs to rise more than we currently expect.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 2

For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see Hecla’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Hecla does not undertake any obligation to release publicly, revisions to any “forward-looking statement,” including, without limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued “forward-looking statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on “forward-looking statements” is at investors’ own risk.

1. Executive Summary

Mining Plus Canada Ltd. (Mining Plus) was retained by Hecla Mining Company (Hecla) to prepare an independent Technical Report Summary (sometimes referred to herein as TRS or Report) on the Keno Hill Mine (sometimes referred to herein as Keno Hill or KHM). The purpose of this TRS is to support the disclosure of the Keno Hill Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates as of the Effective Date, December 31, 2023. This TRS conforms to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Modernized Property Disclosure Requirements for Mining Registrants as described in Subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K, Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations (S-K 1300) and Item 601 (b)(96) Technical Report Summary.

The reported Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are based on data collected up to the Effective Date, including operational data collected from the Keno Hill Mine. The cost and economic estimates are current as of the Effective Date December 31, 2023. The database’s cut-off date for drillholes included in this report is October 30, 2023.

The conclusion, recommendations, and forward-looking statements made by Qualified Persons (QPs) are based on reasonable assumptions and results interpretations. Forward-looking statements cannot be relied upon to guarantee Keno Hill Mine’ performance or outcomes and naturally include inherent risks and risks relating to the industry, Hecla and KHM. Refer to the note regarding forward-looking information at the front of this Report.

Hecla is a public company, established in 1891 with its headquarters in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA. Hecla owns a 100% interest in the mineral rights for KHM through its subsidiaries following its successful acquisition of Alexco Resources Corp. (Alexco) in September 2022.

Keno Hill contemplates the conventional mining and milling of silver-lead-zinc ore from three deposits and there is an existing conventional flotation plant that processes high-grade silver-lead-zinc ore. Over the eleven-year mine life contemplated in this report, the mines are expected to produce 1.88 million (M) tonnes (t) of mill feed (the Probable Mineral Reserves) at an average of 912 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag), 2.81% lead (Pb), 2.53% zinc (Zn) and 0.22 g/t gold (Au). The mill will produce two concentrates: a high-grade silver-lead concentrate (aka silver concentrate) and a zinc-silver concentrate (aka zinc concentrate). The total Ag production is expected to be approximately 52.9 M ounces (oz) over the mine life.

1.1 Property Description and Ownership

1.1.1 Property Description

Keno Hill is located within the Keno Hill Silver District in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The property is situated 350 kilometers (km) north of Whitehorse and lies within the traditional territory of the First Nation of

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Na-Cho Nyäk Dun. Access to the property is via the Alaska Highway from Whitehorse to Stewart Crossing (354 km), then from Stuart Crossing to Mayo via the Silver Trail Highway (53 km), and an all-weather gravel road northeast from Mayo to Elsa (45 km); a total distance of 452 km.

Hecla has exploration, maintenance, and camp facilities near the location of the historic mining town of Elsa, which is located just off the Silver Trail Highway, and administration, mill, and mine facilities at the mill complex located near Keno City, as shown in Figure 1‑1. Keno Hill is well connected by a network of public and private gravel roads including the Silver Trail Highway and the Bellekeno haul road, which was built to bypass the mining traffic around the village of Keno City. Keno Hill is supplied with electrical power by Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) from a hydroelectric plant near Mayo and has a connection to the Yukon-wide electrical grid. The area is covered by National Topographic System (NTS) map sheets 105M/13 and 105M/14.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 1‑ – Keno Hill Mining Operations Overview.

Central Yukon is characterized by a subarctic continental climate with cold winters and warm summers. Exploration and mining work can be carried out year-round. The average annual precipitation ranges from 300 millimeters (mm) in the valleys to 600 mm on mountaintops. Half of this amount falls as snow, which starts to accumulate in October and remains into May or June.

Slopes are gentle except for the north slopes of Keno Hill and Sourdough Hill. The mining properties at the KHM are located between 900 m and 1,300 m elevation.

1.1.2 Ownership

Hecla owns a 100% interest in the mineral rights for Keno Hill through its subsidiaries following its successful acquisition of Alexco in September 2022. Elsa Reclamation & Development Company Ltd. (ERDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla, continues to advance the development and eventual implementation of the District Wide Closure Plan (Existing State of Mine Reclamation Plan) which addresses the historic environmental liabilities of the district from past mining activities pre-dating Alexco’s and Hecla’s acquisition of KHM. The potential liabilities associated with the historic operations in Keno Hill are indemnified by the Government of Canada under the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Subsidiary Agreement dated July 18, 2013, executed by ERDC, Alexco and Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada (ARSA), subject to the requirement for ERDC to develop, permit, and implement the site Reclamation Plan, or if Hecla and the Government agree to transfer portions of the historic area to active mining operations within KHM, in which case such indemnification ceases to the extent of such transferred area.

Keno Hill quartz mining claims and quartz mining leases are held by one of two wholly owned subsidiaries of Alexco (which does business as Hecla Yukon): ERDC or Alexco Keno Hill Mining Company Ltd. (AKHM), except for holding a 50% share with third party individuals in three leases (Rico, Kiddo, and Argentum). The total Keno Hill property quartz mineral holdings as of December 31, 2023, excluding the mineral claims that are the subject of the separate technical report titled Mineral Resource Estimation Elsa Tailings Project Yukon, Canada, by SRK dated June 16, 2010, covers an area of 238.12 km 2 and comprises 717 quartz mining leases, 867 quartz mining claims, and two Crown Grants.

1.2 History

The Keno Hill mining camp area has a rich history of exploration and mining dating back to the beginning of the 1900s. In the ensuing 100 years of mining, activity peaked and decreased with changes in silver prices, world events, and operating companies in the Yukon. Notable periods of interest in the historic evolution of the Keno Hill mining camp included:

 After WWI, success at the Keno mine led to a staking rush, resulting in the discovery of a number of rich deposits. In the early 1920s, the Treadwell Yukon Company Limited (TYC) acquired a number of claims and started mining.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 25

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 After WWII, there was a sharp decline in activity in the Keno Hill camp until a new company, Keno Hill Mining Company Ltd., later United Keno Hill Mines Ltd. (UKHM), purchased all TYC properties, started production and sparked increased exploration activity.

 Peak mining activity occurred in the 1950s through to the 1970s, with new discoveries across the district adding to mineral inventory.

 UKHM restarted the TYC mill in April 1947 processing ore primarily from Hector Calumet mine and Elsa mine. Production from the Hector Calumet mine increased in the 1950s and it was the primary silver producer in the region. Overall, Hector Calumet produced 96 million ounces of silver over its mine life.

 Open pit mining began in the late 1970s, mainly to recover selected crown pillars; from 1982 to 1985 Sadie-Ladue and Shamrock were mined on a small-scale basis, and from 1989 to 1990 Shamrock, Silver King, Hector-Calumet, Lucky Queen, Bermingham, and Keno were mined.

 UKHM stopped production from the Keno Hill Silver District permanently in early 1989.

 Between 1990 and 1998 Dominion Mineral Resources and Sterling Frontier Properties Company of Canada Limited (Dominion) carried out both reclamation work across the district as well as exploration at the Bellekeno, Husky Southwest, and Silver King mines in order to reopen the camp.

 In the late 1990s, Dominion abandoned its UKHM right driving UKHM into bankruptcy.

 In 2001, the site was declared abandoned by the Government Operations Centre, and the federal government inherited the assets.

 In June 2005, Alexco was selected as the preferred purchaser of the assets of UKHM by PwC, the court-appointed interim receiver and receiver-manager of the Project holdings. In February 2006, the Supreme Court of the Yukon approved Alexco’s purchase of UKHM’s assets through Alexco’s wholly owned subsidiary ERDC.

 Between 2010 and 2013, Alexco operating at approximately 200 tpd produced 5.64 million ounces of silver before suspending mining operations.

 In Q4 of 2020, Alexco returned to operation and produced approximately 0.57 million ounces of silver between 2020 and 2022.

 On September 7, 2022, Hecla completed the acquisition of Alexco.

1.3 Geology and Mineralization

The Keno Hill Mine is located within the northwestern part of the Selwyn Basin in central Yukon. The area is underlain by Upper Proterozoic to Mississippian metasedimentary rocks originally deposited in a marine shelf environment along the northern Cordilleran continental margin. The Robert Service Thrust Sheet lying immediately to the south of Keno Hill is composed of Late Proterozoic to Cambrian dominantly coarse-grained quartz-rich turbidite sequence. The Tombstone Thrust Sheet of Devonian phyllite, felsic meta-tuffs, and metaclastic rocks is overlain by the Mississippian Keno Hill Quartzite Formation. The stratigraphy is locally thickened due to folding while the basal portion of the Keno Hill Quartzite forms the dominant host to the silver-lead-zinc mineralization.

Phases of intrusive rocks identified include gabbro and diorite sills, voluminous felsic Tombstone granite intrusions that are regionally related to gold mineralization, and peraluminous megacrystic potassium feldspar granitoids of the Upper Cretaceous McQuesten suite.

The region hosts other mineral occurrences including tungsten, copper, gold, lead, zinc, antimony, and barite.

The Keno Hill local geology is dominated by the Mississippian Keno Hill Quartzite Formation comprising the Basal Quartzite Member conformably overlying Sourdough Hill Member. The sequence is overthrust from the south by the Upper Proterozoic Hyland Yusezyu Formation and is conformably underlain in the north by the Devonian Earn Group.

In 2007, a project was initiated by Alexco to digitally capture the historic UKHM data which included extensive mining plans and geology maps describing up to 70 years of mining. Remapping of the surface geology in the Keno Hill area supported the subdivision of the Keno Hill Quartzite Formation into the Basal Quartzite Member and the Sourdough Hill Member, which reflected the importance of competent Basal Quartzite in the vein formation events.

The Basal Quartzite Member is the dominant host to silver mineralization comprising quartzite and graphitic schists that can reach a thickness of up to 1,100 m thick attributed to structural thickening. The overlying Sourdough Hill Member is up to 900 m of predominantly graphitic schist with minor limestone beds.

Mineralization at Keno Hill exhibits a succession of hydrothermally precipitated minerals in veins from multiple pulses of hydrothermal events. The supergene alteration may have changed the mineralogy in the veins, although this material may have been removed by glacial erosion.

Silver occurs predominantly in argentiferous galena and argentiferous tetrahedrite (freibergite) with associated native silver. Other silver-bearing sulfosalts such as polybasite, stephanite, and pyrargyrite are also present. Lead occurs in galena and zinc in sphalerite which can be in iron-rich or iron-poor varieties. Other sulfides include pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite.

The Keno Hill deposit has been recognized as a polymetallic silver-lead-zinc vein style with characteristics similar to other known mining deposits such as the Kokanee Range (Slocan), British Columbia; Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Freiberg and the Harz Mountains, Germany; and Príbram, Czech Republic.

1.4 Exploration

The Keno Hill mining district exploration history dates to the beginning of the 1900s with early gold prospecting near the Mayo township. In 1903, the first silver mineralization was found followed by small-scale manual mining in 1913 at Silver King. United Keno Hill Mines (UKHM) undertook extensive exploration in Keno Hill until the mines closed and production stopped in 1989 (Cathro, 2006).

Exploration conducted by Alexco Resource Corp. after 2006 represented the first modern comprehensive exploration effort in Keno Hill since 1989. In the period from 2006 to 2022, Alexco completed surface exploration holes and underground drilling located at five main deposits comprising Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, and Onek. The focus of Alexco’s exploration drilling was primarily at, and adjacent to, historic mining areas.

In 2006, a wide-spaced district-scale aerial magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical survey and air photography was undertaken. Subsequent diamond drilling was conducted on targets from the geophysical survey assessed as having the potential for additional silver resources with work focusing on the Bellekeno, Silver King, and Lucky Queen mine areas.

Between 2006 and 2010, core was logged onto paper forms that were later entered into a commercial computerized logging program. More recently all logging data has been directly digitally entered into a SQL-based database.

In late 2018, Alexco undertook a detailed aerial RESOLVE EM-Magnetic geophysical survey over Galena Hill, later extended to cover Keno Hill in 2020. The survey provided detailed structural information that in addition to the district geologic mapping defines a general 1km periodicity of large-displacement northeast oriented transverse vein-faults that hosts mineralization assisting with the definition of drill targets. This structural understanding has substantially increased the success rate of intersecting mineralization with exploration drilling.

During 2020, Alexco commenced underground mining activities initially at Bellekeno and subsequently at the Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits. The commencement of mining development shifted the focus of exploration drilling into areas adjacent to the previously outlined resources.

In 2021, Alexco conducted a directional drilling program which included 17,742 m of directional drilling at Bermingham Northeast Deep zone. During 2021 and 2022, Alexco suffered delays to both mining and exploration due to COVID-19 isolation restrictions and reduced staffing of personnel which resulted in lower productivity.

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

In early September 2022, the ownership of the Keno Hill Mine passed to Hecla while mining operations and exploration drilling activity continued through the change of ownership period.

Under Hecla, exploration drilling was maintained near the Bermingham underground mine development and at Coral Wigwam and Hector-Calumet.

Face sampling of underground mining production has been conducted for each heading advance ranging from 1.5 m to 3 m. The underground face sample data has not been incorporated into the resource estimation except at the Bellekeno deposit.

As part of its regular procedures, Hecla maintains standard logging and sampling conventions to capture information from its drilling programs.

1.5 Mineral Resource Estimates

The Keno Hill 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate comprises five discrete estimates from the following areas: Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham. These Mineral Resources have been estimated in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements (SEC, 2018) and are reported in accordance with S-K 1300 regulations. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Possible risk factors included in the rationale used and any mitigating factors established to reduce any risk have been investigated and were noted during a detailed review of the drilling databases, methods used to estimate density, the application of grade capping, methods for grade interpolation and the classification methodology for each of the mineral resources.

It is the opinion of the Mining Plus geology QP that the Mineral Resource models presented in this report are representative of the informing data and that the data is of sufficient quality and quantity to support the Mineral Resource estimate to the Classifications applied.

A summary of the Mineral Resources at Keno Hill is shown in Table 1‑1 with an effective date of December 31, 2023. The Mineral Resource is considered potentially mineable through optimized underground mining methods. All Mineral Resources declared in this report are reported inside underground shapes optimized at an economic cut-off of CAD $185/tonne.

The Mineral Reserves have been classified in accordance with the definitions for Mineral Reserves in S-K 1300. Detailed information on mining, processing, and other relevant factors are contained in the following sections and combined demonstrate that Keno Hill Operation is an economically viable Property.

1.7 Mining Methods

Keno Hill comprises five separate deposits including Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham. The location of the deposits is shown in Figure 13‑1; the mill, administration, and shop complexes are located near the Flame and Moth Deposit.

All deposits are characterized by high grades, narrow vein widths, and challenging ground conditions.

The operations at Bellekeno deposit were suspended in 2021, and the mine was placed under care and maintenance. Onek is a historic mine with remnant Mineral Resources but is not currently planned to be reopened without further study. Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits are operating, and Lucky Queen is in the advanced exploration stage. The Mineral Reserve is included in the Life of Mine Plan (LOM).

At Keno Hill, mining is currently undertaken using a mechanized cut and fill method (MCF). Where the ore width is wider than can be safely extracted in one cut, the ore will be mined in adjacent drifts. Lenses

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 31

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

are predominantly mined in a bottom-up sequence and filled with cemented rock fill (CRF) using a 3%-8% binder content. The 8% binder CRF is restricted to cuts which will form the back of an underhand stope — the initial cut of panels that are above others along the same vein. All other cut and fill excavations will use unconsolidated rock fill (URF) or 3% binder where an adjacent cut is to be mined.

The overall production schedule is based on feeding a consistent 400 to 550 tpd to the centrally located mill. The current LOM period is estimated to be eleven years ending in 2034. Underground Mineral Reserves totaling 1.88 Mt are expected to be mined over the entire LOM period.

1.8 Mineral Processing

The Keno Hill is a polymetallic silver-lead-zinc vein type mineralization. There are three deposits included in the mine plan and mill feed. Production commenced in 2023 with feed from the Bermingham deposit. The mine plan continues with the mill feed from Bermingham followed by ore from the Flame and Moth deposit, and finally from Lucky Queen. The mill ramps up to process ore at 400 tpd in the first three years before reaching the peak capacity of 550 tpd in year five.

Ore is crushed and then processed in a conventional flotation mill producing silver-lead concentrate and zinc concentrate. A simplified process flowsheet is included in Section 14.2. The constant concentrate grades and recoveries are detailed in Section 10. The total concentrate production and grades over the life of mine are shown in Table 1‑3.

Note: based on the total Probable Mineral Reserves presented in Section 12 and mine plan presented in Section 13.

Concentrates are thickened, filtered, and trucked off site for sale. Tailings are also thickened, filtered, and stored in a dry stack tailing facility adjacent to the mill. Process water is stored in the mill pond adjacent to the mill complex and recycled to the plant for varied applications.

Hecla has completed all mill upgrades planned by Alexco, the former site operator.

1.9 Infrastructure

There is considerable infrastructure on site from the previous Alexco mining operations.

In Elsa, there are administrative, training, and exploration offices. The nearby Flat Creek camp facilities include bunkhouses, a kitchen facility, recreation facilities, miners’ dry facilities, as well as houses at the old Flat Creek town site (part of Elsa). At the District mill, there are mine and mill offices, dry facilities, an assay lab, an equipment maintenance facility, a warehouse, and the mill and dry stack tailings facility (DSTF) complex.

Power, water, roads, and communications are in place and maintained throughout the site. There is a network of access roads and haul roads throughout the District. A bypass has been constructed around Keno City to reduce traffic and noise for the residents.

Offsite infrastructure includes highway access between Whitehorse and the Keno Hill site as well as to Skagway (for concentrate shipping). Hecla has an administrative office in Whitehorse. No additional offsite infrastructure is required for this operation.

DSTF Phase 2 construction is scheduled to start in summer 2024. The design is currently being revised to incorporate comments received from the Yukon Government. Design revisions include revisions to the seismic criteria and re-evaluation of geotechnical design under updated criteria.

The current permit limits for the Dry Stack Tailings Facility and the Waste Rock Dump Facility are insufficient to cover the planned waste rock and tailings produced over the LOM. Permitting studies are

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 33

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

underway and a reasonable timeframe has been identified in the LOM to obtain appropriate permits to establish additional facilities for tailings and waste rock dumps.

1.10 Environmental Studies, Permitting, and Plans, Negotiations, or Agreements with Local Individuals or Groups

Hecla is committed to operating in compliance with all regulations and standards of good practice for environmental, health, and safety. To uphold this commitment Hecla has developed and approved corporate policies for environmental, health and safety practices and has prepared a detailed management plan to facilitate the continuous improvement of its environment and health and safety performance. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is currently in the process of being implemented, completion is expected by the end of 2024.

The mine design meets current standards and the implementation of the proposed environmental and health and safety practices ensures that the Keno Hill Mine is prepared to meet future challenges.

Hecla, and its subsidiary ERDC are parties to the ARSA with the Government of Canada in which Hecla is responsible for the care, maintenance, and closure of the historical mines, with funding from the government and the company to address the historical liabilities. The commercial agreement also allows Hecla to undertake exploration of the AKHM site and undertake active mining. Under this agreement, Hecla is responsible for environmental assessment, permitting, compliance, and costs associated with its ongoing exploration and new mine development activities. Additionally, if a new mine is brought into production including the use of infrastructure associated with a historic mine, terrestrial liabilities (i.e., waste rock storage areas and roads) and water-related liabilities located within a designated “Production Unit” become the responsibility of Hecla. At this time, Bellekeno and Flame and Moth have been defined as one combined active Production Unit under the Bellekeno Production Unit. The Bermingham Production Unit notice was submitted to Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) and approved on November 24, 2023. When commercial ore production occurs at Lucky Queen a Production Unit would need to be declared. That Production Unit would encompass the Lucky Queen mining area that is reasonably expected to be affected by production-related activities, including production features authorized in required permits and surface and groundwater expected to be affected by the permitted activities. Liability for reclamation and closure of the defined Production Unit would fall to AKHM.

Hecla, along with territorial, federal, and First Nation governments, is also responsible for developing a District-Wide Reclamation Plan that addresses these historic environmental liabilities arising from past mining activities. Under the agreement, Hecla is indemnified from the historic environmental liabilities. The latest reclamation plan, revision 7, was prepared by Alexco and issued in October 2022. Currently, water treatment is carried out at five locations in Keno Hill (Galkeno 300, Galkeno 900, Silver King, Onek 400, and Valley Tailings), as required by the ERDC’s Water Licence QZ21-012.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 34

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Alexco developed a reclamation plan that was used by Hecla to acquire Water Licence QZ21-012 in April 2023. Hecla is working towards implementing this water license and reclamation plan.

Permits held by Hecla for the Property are sufficient to ensure that mining activities are conducted within the regulatory framework required by regulations. The QP notes that the Bellekeno, Bermingham, and Flame and Moth deposits have all permits and authorizations in place to commence or continue with full-scale mine production. The Bermingham deposit has the required permits which should allow it to sustain mine production for a number of years, however, it will require an amendment to include recent additions to the Mineral Reserve in Bermingham Deep Northeast Zone. In addition, it is likely that the Quartz Mining Licence (QML-0009) and the Water Licence QZ18-044 will need modifications in order to increase water discharge amounts/rates, increase the volume or change location of waste rock and tailings storage. The Lucky Queen deposit has in place a Quartz Mining Licence (QML-0009) which authorizes mining operations, but Water Licence QZ18-044 would require an amendment before water-based activities for Lucky Queen can proceed.

1.11 Capital, and Operating Cost Estimates

The Keno Hill Mine is currently producing and there is no pre-production capital. Capital costs over the LOM total USD 194.85 million and are summarized in Table 1‑5.

For the purposes of this economic analysis described in this section, revenue is estimated over the LOM with a flat long-term price of USD 22.00/oz Ag, USD 0.95/lb Pb and USD 1.15/lb Zn. Mining Plus’s QP considers these prices to be aligned with end of year 2023 industry consensus long term forecast prices. Payable metals in the Keno Hill Mine 2023 plan are estimated at 95.0% Ag and 93.3% Pb in the silver-lead concentrate and 83% Zn and 70% Ag in the zinc concentrate.

LOM net revenue is USD 1,118 million (after Refining Charges and Royalty).

1.12.2 Taxation and Royalties

 There is an NSR royalty of 1.5% payable to the Government of Canada.

 Approximately CAD 1.2 million of the total CAD 4.0 million has been paid or accrued for as of the date of this Report.

 Taxes include Quartz Mining Tax, federal, and Yukon Taxes. It is assumed that the three operating deposits are treated as ‘one mine’ for income tax and royalty tax purposes.

1.12.3 Cash Flow Analysis

The Hecla post tax financial analysis QP has reviewed Hecla’s Keno Hill Mine LOM 2024 Reserves only model and has prepared its own unlevered after-tax LOM cash flow model based on the information contained in this TRS to confirm the physical and economic parameters of the Keno Hill Mine.

The Keno Hill Mine economics have been evaluated using the discounted cash flow method by considering annual processed tonnages and grades of ore. The associated process recovery, metal prices, operating costs, refining and transportation charges, and sustaining/growth capital expenditures were also considered.

The economic analysis results, presented in Table 1‑7 in USD with no allowance for inflation, show a pre-tax and after-tax NPV, using a 5% discount rate of $318.1 million and $304.5 million, respectively. The Hecla post tax financial analysis QP is of the opinion that a 5% discount rate for after-tax cash flow discounting of an active Canadian precious/base metal operations in a politically stable region is reasonable and appropriate, and commonly used. For this cash flow analysis, the internal rate of return (IRR) and payback are not applicable since the Keno Hill Mine has been producing and selling concentrate for a number of years under Hecla and previous ownership. Please refer to the note regarding forward-looking information at the front of the Report.

1.13 Conclusions

The Keno Hill is a polymetallic silver-lead-zinc vein type mineralization. There are three deposits included in the mine plan and mill feed. Production commenced in 2023 with feed from the Bermingham deposit. The mine plan continues with the mill feed from Bermingham and the Flame and Moth deposits, and finally from Lucky Queen. The mill ramps up to process ore at 400 tpd in the first three years before reaching the peak capacity of 550 tpd in year five. The current LOM period is estimated to be eleven years ending in 2034.

The mining method at the Keno Hill Mine is overhand mechanized cut and fill using cemented and uncemented rockfill as backfill. Mechanized cut and fill is a highly selective method that enables extraction of the Mineral Reserves safely and economically while adapting to the variable nature of the narrow vein geometry. Hecla has maintained an active drilling program that seeks to identify mineralization extensions and to support the evaluation of Mineral Resources and provide grade control definition ahead of mining operations. Mining Plus considers the drilling, logging and drill core meet existing industry standards and are sufficient to support Mineral Resource Estimation.

The crushed ore is processed in a conventional flotation mill producing silver-lead concentrate and zinc concentrate. The total concentrate production over the life of mine is 103.2 kt at Ag 15,269 g/t and Pb 45.0%, and 68.7 kt at Ag 997 g/t and Zn 47.0% of silver and zinc concentrates respectively.

In terms of project execution, Hecla has been able to leverage the existing infrastructure onsite to resume mining and milling operations and the positive economic results support the updated Mineral Reserves Estimate.

1.14 Recommendations

Mining Plus outlines the recommendations in the following subsections.

1.14.1 Geology and Mineral Resources

 Mining Plus has recommended that the current data spacing, and distribution is maintained at all deposits and suggested monitoring the subsequent geological and grade continuity to ensure it continues to be appropriate for Mineral Resource Estimation.

 Review the logging disparities identified in drillings conducted before 2010 and conduct a comprehensive assessment of logging consistency across various drilling campaigns. This review aims to enhance the interpretation and modeling criteria for mineralized structures.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 39

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Discrepancies observed between the entered assay data and the laboratory certificates were noted in the Onek database, and to a lesser extent at Bellekeno and Lucky Queen. Mining Plus considers that a more comprehensive audit be conducted to address these inconsistencies and verify if any other issues exist.

 Constant monitoring of the pulp bulk density is recommended by conducting checks using the paraffin wax method on samples estimated using the Archimedes density method. The checks will provide information on any relevant biases and must be included in the company’s procedures.

 Mining Plus considers that adjustments to the procedures for underground face sampling and an improvement in onsite assaying may be sufficient to support the incorporation of face samples within future grade estimation processes. Face samples are normally reliable source data for estimations as they can be controlled at uniform boundaries and set locations within the mining development. Face sample data represents the closest spaced samples that can be used to determine local grade variability or continuity.

 Mining Plus recommends the following improvements to the Quality Control program:

o Hecla should include an investigation of the origin of any quality control failures and to implement timely corrective measures.

o Hecla should continue to incorporate field duplicates, pulp duplicates and umpire check samples as essential parts of the Quality Control procedure to assess the precision of samples at various stages of sampling and comminution.

o The incorporation of pulverized blank standard samples is recommended to evaluate contamination during the analysis stage.

 The applied geological interpretation and modelling criteria should be clearly defined and consistent during the interpretation of each structure and deposit, which will help improve precision in locally estimated resources.

 It is recommended that future resource estimates should establish clear and consistent estimation criteria as far as practicable, including:

o An update of the estimated resources at Onek, Lucky Queen and Bellekeno, with appropriate documentation and traceability of the data and information used.

o The block model should use parent cells and sub cells to facilitate underground optimizations.

o A consistent capping method be applied uniformly across all deposits. The recommended approach is to consider capping after the compositing process, where the influence of high grades is mitigated.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 40

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

o The NSR economic cut-off should be based on Hecla’s current costs, which should include at a minimum the cost of mine and mineral processes, which can be tangible and realistic depending on the level of knowledge of mining development in the area.

 Monitor the estimation results of those domains with no record (NR or NULL) intervals mainly in Flame and Moth, to see potential risks in this area resulting from these samples.

 Continue with the Resource classification criteria for Indicated Resources using a distance of 25 m, which should be consistent wherever possible for all deposits.

 Implement mining reconciliation practices that help to better understand the veracity of mineral resource estimates and anticipate future improvements.

1.14.2 Mining and Mineral Reserves

The QP notes that the overall mine plan benefits from increased flexibility and working fronts as the mine matures and the capital development advances. In the initial years, there is an opportunity to further de- risk the overall LOM plan and better predict the operational performance of future mining zones by addressing the following items:

 Undertake a more detailed dilution and extraction study, including consideration of any existing reconciliation studies, to better quantify the extraction recovery, dilution, and other modifying factors that Hecla is currently applying to all production designs. Specifically, the final cut underneath a planned sill can be expected to have a higher dilution from CRF failure due to blasting cycles of the final lift and previous lift. Use the results of the above noted studies to determine the actions necessary to align mine production grades with the Mineral Reserve Estimates.

 Complete additional geotechnical assessments to determine the amenability of the orebody to more productive and less costly mining methods. Hecla is reviewing opportunities to trial long hole stope mining methods in the Flame and Moth mine between 2024 and 2026 to refine the method and application without affecting the overall LOM plan. The outcomes of these trials should be incorporated into future reserve estimates.

 Complete additional optimization on the Mineral Reserve mine plan and de-risk the mine plan on a development basis by assessing the potential for slower than planned increases to efficiency and underground unit development operations or rates. Complete additional scenario scheduling to better understand the risk and plan appropriately to meet the schedule.

 Continue evaluating the option of mining at Flame and Moth earlier than planned as a large portion of the underground access has been completed and the mine is ready to produce ore with minimal development. This will assist with reducing the LOM plan risk by creating additional mining fronts with minimal upfront capital.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 41

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Continue conducting definition diamond drilling throughout the remainder of the underground mining operation to convert Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources and increase the understanding of the mineralization. Doing so may result in increased Mineral Reserves near planned capital and operational development and reduce the overall capital development intensity of the schedule.

 Investigate adding marginal underground Indicated Mineral Resources to the Mineral Reserves where appropriate.

 Complete hydrogeological studies to better understand the sources of water at Flame and Moth and Bermingham.

 Review mining plans and benchmark other relevant Hecla operations to define definitive actions to attain the planned improvements in mining productivity, daily development advance and associated costs over the first four years.

1.14.3 Mineral Processing

Sedgman’s QP considers that there is an opportunity to improve the level of detail of the metallurgical predictions and particularly the concentrate production at a month-to-month operational level. Further locked cycle tests at the next stage of study are recommended for samples representing the Flame and Moth deposit and different blends according to the LOM production plan. There may be an opportunity to improve the concentrates grades with further testing, particularly of the zinc concentrate. Additional metallurgical testing at different head grades would also support the approach to capping recoveries, particularly for the comportment of lead to concentrates at lower head grade mill feed. In addition, further hardness tests are recommended on these samples to verify potential grindability variations for future mill feeds. It is also recommended that testing of the increased plant throughout above the 400 tpd be done in the first year of operation to identify potential bottlenecks and confirm requirements for mill modifications to achieve the 550 tpd throughput. Sedgman recommends that Hecla perform a series of debottlenecking exercises and productivity tests on the mill prior to and well in advance of the expected throughput increases. This will help to de-risk the production profile and ensure a smooth ramp up.

1.14.4 Environmental Studies, Permitting, Social or Community Impacts

The QP notes that that the Mineral Reserves contain material that is not fully permitted for extraction at both Bermingham (Bermingham Deep Northeast Zone) and Lucky Queen. In addition, the current permit limits for the Dry Stack Tailings Facility and the Waste Rock Dump Facility are insufficient to cover the planned waste rock and tailings produced over the LOM.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 42

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

The QP recommends that Hecla continue with its planned permit approvals and amendment process to reduce the risk to the overall mine plan and investigate alternatives if required.

1.14.5 Economics Analysis

The QP is of the opinion that as Keno Hill is an operating mine within a relatively stable tax jurisdiction, and the information contained in Section 19.4 Economic Analysis accurately represent the current conditions at the mine. As such, the QP has no additional material recommendations to make.

Hecla is a public company, established in 1891, it has headquarters in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA. Hecla owns a 100% interest in the mineral rights for the Keno Hill through its subsidiaries following its successful acquisition of Alexco in September 2022. Elsa Reclamation & Development Company Ltd. (ERDC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla, continues to advance the development and eventual implementation of the District Wide Closure Plan (ESM Reclamation Plan) which addresses the historic environmental liabilities of the district from past mining activities. The potential liabilities associated with the historic operations in Keno Hill are indemnified by the Government of Canada under the terms and conditions of the commercial agreement subject to the requirement for ERDC to develop, permit and implement the site Reclamation Plan.

Keno Hill is located within the Keno Hill Silver District in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The Property is situated 350 kilometers (km) north of Whitehorse and lies within the traditional territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun. It comprises 242 square kilometers (km 2) with numerous mineral deposits and more than 35 historical past-producing mine sites. The property includes Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham deposits and a processing plant (District Mill) along with associated infrastructure. The site is currently operating one underground deposit (Bermingham) and has plans to commence operations in Flame and Moth and Lucky Queen deposits as part of the LOM plan. The operations mine silver, lead, zinc, and gold which is processed to produce silver-lead and zinc concentrates.

In 2010, Alexco constructed a 408 tpd capacity conventional flotation processing plant and they commenced mining at the Bellekeno deposit.

Following the acquisition of Alexco Resource Corp. in September 2022, Hecla focused effort on development activities at Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits. In 2023, Hecla restarted ore production at both deposits. Flame and Moth production was idled in September 2023 to focus on production and development of the Bermingham deposit but could be restarted to support mill production at any time.

3. Property Description

3.1 Property Location, Country, Regional, and Government Setting

The Keno Hill Mine is located in the central Yukon Territory, Canada, and covers an area of approximately 15,000 ha (Figure 3‑1) in central Yukon (63° 54’ 32" N, 135° 19’ 18” W; NTS 105M/14 and 105M/13). The operations are located in the traditional territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (FNNND).

Access to the property is via the Alaska Highway from Whitehorse to Stewart Crossing (354 km), then from Stuart Crossing to Mayo via the Silver Trail Highway (53 km), and an all-weather gravel road northeast from Mayo to Elsa (45 km); a total distance of 452 km.

The property lies along the broad South McQuesten River valley on three prominent hills to the south of the valley: on and around Galena Hill, Keno Hill, and Sourdough Hill, collectively known as the Keno Hill District. The Bermingham deposit is located on Galena Hill (Figure 3‑2). The Lucky Queen and Onek deposits are located on Keno Hill, while the Bellekeno deposit is located on Sourdough Hill. The Flame and Moth deposit and the Keno Hill District Mill are located at the headwaters of Christal Creek.

Hecla has exploration, maintenance, and camp facilities near the location of the historic mining town of Elsa, which is located just off the Silver Trail Highway, and administration, mill, and mine facilities at the mill complex located near Keno City. The Keno Hill Mine is supplied with electrical power by Yukon Energy Corporation from two hydroelectric plants near Mayo as well as an interconnection to the larger Whitehorse hydropower generating facility. The project area is covered by NTS map sheets 105M/13 and 105M/14.

3.2 Mineral Tenure, Agreement, and Royalties

Mineral exploration in the Keno Hill area was initially permitted under the terms and conditions set out by the Government of Yukon (Yukon Government) in the Class 3 Quartz Mining Land Use Permit LQ-00186, issued on July 5, 2006, and valid until July 4, 2011. The former owner, Alexco, subsequently obtained a Class 4 Quartz Mining Land Use Permit – LQ-00240 on June 17, 2008. The two permits were amalgamated on December 8, 2008, under LQ-00240, which has subsequently been renewed as Class 4 Mining Land Use Approval LQ00476 on June 17, 2018.

All quartz mining leases, and Crown Grants have been legally surveyed; the quartz mining claims have not been legally surveyed. The Keno Hill Silver Property quartz mining claims and quartz mining leases are held by one of two wholly owned subsidiaries of Alexco Resource Corp. (doing business as Hecla Yukon): Elsa Reclamation & Development Company Ltd. (ERDC) or Alexco Keno Hill Mining Company Ltd. (AKHM), except for holding a 50% share with third party individuals in three leases (Rico, Kiddo, and Argentum).

3.3 Mineral Rights and Permitting

The Bellekeno, Bermingham, and Flame and Moth mines have all permits and authorizations in place to commence full-scale mine production. However, it to maintain full-scale production for an extended period of time, or to increase production at those mines, it is likely that modifications to certain permits will be required, including the Quartz Mining Licence (QML-0009) and the Water Licence QZ18-044, in order to increase water discharge amounts/rates, increase the volume or change location of waste rock and tailings storage or other changes. In addition, the Lucky Queen deposit has in place a Quartz Mining Licence (QML-0009) which authorizes mining operations, but Water Licence QZ18-044 would require an amendment before water-based activities for Lucky Queen can proceed. The key permits for the activities at the Keno Hill Mine are summarized in Table 3‑1.

3.4 Agreements and Royalties

Future production from the Project is subject to a 1.5% NSR royalty payable to the Government of Canada. This royalty is a condition of the ARSA. Approximately CAD 1.2 million of the total CAD 4.0 million has been paid or accrued for as of the date of this Report.

Other underlying agreements and contracts are discussed in Section 16.2

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 58

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

3.5 Environmental Liabilities and Other Permitting Requirements

Under the commercial agreement with the Government of Canada, responsibility for the historic environmental liabilities within Keno Hill is assigned to ERDC, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla, as the tenure holder of Keno Hill. However, under the commercial agreement among ERDC, Alexco, and the Government of Canada, dated July 18, 2013, Canada has agreed to indemnify ERDC in respect of the environmental state of Keno Hill known and unknown as of April 14, 2006. The commercial agreement contains a provision that addresses the liability for the Existing State of the Mine if Hecla brings either historic mines or newly discovered deposits into production or operation.

Under the agreement, ERDC must give notice to Canada for commercial production of ore for commercial purposes. This creates a Production Unit and terminates the indemnity for the Production Area. However, the Indemnity continues to apply to any contamination that may migrate from Keno Hill onto a Production Unit with the exception of contamination from another Production Unit or Advanced Exploration area.

Yukon Government requires financial security from AKHM to cover potential liabilities associated with the cost of reclamation and closure for the Quartz Mining Licence QML-0009. The closure cost estimate is consistent with the plan requirements and closure costing guidance as per the August 2013 Reclamation and Closure Planning for Quartz Mining Projects. AKHM has completed a cost estimate to implement the Revision 7 of the Reclamation and Closure Plan for the Keno Hill Mine and the estimated cost to implement the reclamation and closure plan at the End of Mine Life (EOM) is CAD 9,643,943. Following an internal review process, the amount of security currently required by the Yukon Government for the reclamation and closure of the Keno Hill Mine is CAD 9,681,500 which includes any security already held under the Water Act. AKHM was issued a Type A Water Licence (QZ18-044), and the Yukon Water Board also requires AKHM to furnish and maintain financial security with the Yukon Government which includes any security held under the Quartz Mining Act. Following the review of the Reclamation and Closure Plan Rev 6, pursuant to the Waters Act, AKHM has furnished security of CAD 11,346,433. It is important to note that not all the liabilities included in the cost estimate have yet been realized or created.

Mining Plus is not aware of any other environmental liabilities on the property. The permits and Licenses are discussed in Chapter 17 Environmental Studies, Permitting, and Plans, Negotiations, or Agreements with Local Individuals or Groups.

Hecla has all the required permits to conduct the proposed work on the property and to continue production except for the amendments noted in Section 3.3. Mining Plus is not aware of any other significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform the proposed work program on the property.

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

3.6 Mineral and Surface Purchase Agreements

Prior to Hecla’s acquisition of Alexco, United Keno Hill Mines, the previous owner of the properties ceased operations in 1989. In January 2001, the Minister of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) exercised its authority under the Yukon Waters Act by issuing a determination that the mine had been abandoned. In October 2001, the site was declared a Type II Site under the Devolution Transfer Agreement, which meant that the Yukon Government would manage the property, but financial responsibility for environmental liabilities would remain with the Government of Canada.

In June 2005, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), a court-appointed interim receiver and receiver-manager of United Keno Hill Mines Limited and United Keno Hill Minerals Limited (collectively UKHM), selected Alexco as the preferred purchaser of the assets of UKHM. In February 2006, following the negotiation of a Subsidiary Agreement (which subsequently became the ARSA described above) between the Government of Canada, the Government of Yukon, and Alexco, the Supreme Court of Yukon approved the purchase of the assets of UKHM by Alexco through its wholly owned subsidiary ERDC.

The UKHM assets comprised two Crown grants, 674 mining leases, 289 mineral claims, a concentration plant, various buildings, and equipment, as well as partial ownership interest in three mining leases, 36 mineral claims, in addition to a leasehold interest in one mineral claim. Title to all UKHM assets was transferred to Alexco in late November 2007, following the approval of a Type B Water Licence by the Yukon Water Board. In September 2022, Hecla completed the acquisition of Alexco along with its subsidiaries and previously negotiated agreements. All quartz mining leases have been legally surveyed, whereas most of the quartz mining claims have not.

Under the ARSA, ERDC is responsible for ensuring that the site remains in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Water Licence, and all applicable environmental laws. The commercial agreement requires ERDC to develop and implement a Reclamation Plan for Keno Hill, and to retain the liabilities of the UKHM site subject to indemnification by the Government of Canada. Under the commercial agreement, the Government of Canada, as represented by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), retains the obligation for funding for the Reclamation Project.

The ARSA also allows Hecla to undertake exploration of the AKHM site and undertake active mining. In the event that Hecla wishes to designate a portion of the AKHM site for development and production (a “Production Unit”), agreements between CIRNAC and ERDC will govern which party is responsible for the costs of reclamation and water-related components of that Production Unit. There is a the Bellekeno Production Unit which covers the affected areas for both Bellekeno and Flame and Moth. Bermingham Production Unit notice was submitted to CIRNAC and approved November 24, 2023.

4. Accessibility, Climate, Physiography, Local Resources, and Infrastructure

4.1 Accessibility

The Project is located in central Yukon Territory, Canada. The closest sizable town is Mayo, which is located on the Stewart River, approximately 45 km to the southwest of the Project location. Mayo is accessible from Whitehorse via a 460 km all-weather road and is also serviced by the Mayo airport, which is located just to the north of Mayo. An all-weather gravel road known as the Silver Trail Highway leads from Mayo to the Project, the historic company town of Elsa, and the village of Keno City

4.2 Topography, Elevation, Vegetation and Climate

The Property area is characterized by rolling hills and mountains with a relief of up to 1,600 meters (m). The highest elevation is Keno Hill at 1,975 m. Slopes are gentle except for the north slopes of Keno Hill and Sourdough Hill. The mining properties in the Keno Hill District are located between 850 m and 1,540 m elevation.

The Property is located in the North Yukon Plateau ecoregion, which is a climatic and biophysical subset of the Boreal Cordillera ecozone. Snowfall is minimal during the long cold winters with a mean temperature of -20°C, and extreme lows down to -50°C. Winter days are short with the sun low on the horizon such that north-facing slopes can experience 10 weeks without direct sunlight throughout the winter solstice. The summers are usually dry and warm with maximum temperatures reaching 32°C. Exploration and mining work can be carried out year-round. The growing season is short, but vigorous because of the extended daylight hours in the summer. The average annual precipitation ranges from 300 mm in the valleys to 600 mm on mountaintops. The maximum precipitation is in August and minimum precipitation occurs in April. The Property area is within the Extensive Discontinuous Permafrost Zone. Permafrost is commonly encountered under thick organic layers that cover the South McQuesten River valley and north-facing slopes. Since soil is limited, only low-growing plants exist at higher elevations such as sedges, grasses, and creeping shrubs. Sub-alpine firs and larger shrubs become more dominant in the subalpine and upper boreal zones. The primary tree species along the mid and lower slopes are white spruce (Picea glauca), trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides), Alaskan birch (Betula neoalaskana), and the occasional balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera). There is a matrix of scrub birch (Betula glandulosa), willow (Salix sp.), and ericaceous shrubs with sparse to open black spruce cover. Streams web among the tussocks of sedges and hummocks of moss eventually joining the South MacQuesten River that flows to the Stewart River a tributary of the Yukon watershed.

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

4.3 Physiography

The landscape in this area was formed by past glacial activity, large deposits of glaciofluvial and glaciolacustrine material blanket the valley floor. Morainal till covers the lower to mid-mountain slopes, but only a thin veneer of soil remains in the alpine, here often bedrock and talus are exposed.

4.4 Local Infrastructure and Resources

The Keno Hill Mine is well connected by a network of public and private gravel roads including the Silver Trail Highway and the Bellekeno haul road, which was built to bypass the mining traffic around the village of Keno City. A large number of roads constructed for past mining operations are still serviceable. Local resources in terms of manpower, rental equipment, materials, and supplies are limited and in high demand depending on other resource activities.

The existing infrastructure at or near the Property includes:

 A network of public and private roads connecting the mines, process plants, and other facilities, including the Silver Trail Highway.

 Administration, maintenance, and camp facilities near the town of Elsa.

 Mine workings and infrastructure including water treatment at the Bellekeno deposit.

 Mine workings and infrastructure at both Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits.

 Mine workings and minor surface buildings at Lucky Queen deposit.

 Waste rock storage facilities at the Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, Bellekeno, and Bermingham deposits.

 Crushing plant and flotation processing plant.

 Dry stack tailings facility located adjacent to the process plant.

 Process and potable water sources.

 Hydro electrical grid power is available in the area from the Yukon Electrical Company Limited grid. Diesel power backup onsite.

 Airstrip located in the village of Mayo, YT.

5. History

The history of the Keno Hill mining camp is described in Cathro (2006). The information presented in this section draws heavily from that source.

The Keno Hill mining camp area has a rich history of exploration and mining dating back to the beginning of the 1900s. Earliest prospectors had been working the area in the vicinity of Mayo for gold, especially after the Klondike gold rush of 1898. The first silver was found in 1903; however, interest was low due to the prospector’s interest in gold alone — despite an assay from 1905 yielding more than 11 kg/t of silver. Small-scale mining finally commenced in 1913 at the Silver King mine with the first shipment of 50 tonnes of vein material to a smelter in San Francisco, CA.

In the ensuing 100 years of mining, activity peaked and decreased with changes in silver prices, world events, and operating companies in the Yukon. Notable periods of interest in the historic evolution of the Keno Hill mining camp included:

 After WWI, success at the Keno mine led to a staking rush, resulting in the discovery of a number of rich deposits. In the early 1920s, the Treadwell Yukon Company Limited (TYC) acquired a number of claims and started mining.

 After WWII there was a sharp decline in activity in the Keno Hill camp until a new company, Keno Hill Mining Company Ltd., later United Keno Hill Mines Ltd. (UKHM), purchased all TYC properties, started production and sparked increased exploration activity.

 Peak mining activity occurred in the 1950s through to the 1970s, with new discoveries across the district adding to mineral inventory.

 UKHM restarted the TYC mill in April 1947 processing ore primarily from Hector Calumet mine and Elsa mine. Production from the Hector Calumet mine increased in the 1950s and it was the primary silver producer in the region. Overall, Hector Calumet produced 96 million ounces of silver over its mine life.

 Open pit mining began in the late 1970s, mainly to recover selected crown pillars; from 1982 to 1985 Sadie-Ladue and Shamrock were mined on a small-scale basis, and from 1989 to 1990 Shamrock, Silver King, Hector-Calumet, Lucky Queen, Bermingham, and Keno were mined.

 UKHM stopped production from the Keno Hill Silver District permanently in early 1989.

 Between 1990 and 1998 Dominion Mineral Resources and Sterling Frontier Properties Company of Canada Limited (Dominion) carried out both reclamation work across the district as well as exploration at the Bellekeno, Husky Southwest, and Silver King mines in order to reopen the camp.

 In the late 1990s, Dominion abandoned its UKHM right driving UKHM into bankruptcy.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 63

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 In 2001, the site was declared abandoned by the Government Operations Centre, and the federal government inherited the assets.

 In June 2005, Alexco was selected as the preferred purchaser of the assets of UKHM by PwC, the court-appointed interim receiver and receiver-manager of the Project holdings. In February 2006, the Supreme Court of the Yukon approved Alexco’s purchase of UKHM’s assets through Alexco’s wholly owned subsidiary ERDC.

 Between 2010 and 2013, Alexco, operating at approximately 200 tpd produced 5.64 million ounces of silver before suspending mining operations.

 In Q4 of 2020 Alexco returned to operation and produced approximately 0.57 million ounces of silver between 2020 and 2022.

 On September 7, 2022, Hecla completed the acquisition of Alexco.

The production history for the District has been documented in Cathro (2006) and reproduced in Table 5‑1. Note that the original reference is presented in imperial units and reproduced as such in the table.

5.1 History, Drilling, and Past Production of the Bellekeno Deposit

The Bellekeno area hosts ten veins on the north-facing slope of Sourdough Hill across the Lightning Creek valley from the Keno mine. Initially staked in 1919 by Andrew Johnson following the discovery of the Tundra vein, the nearby Ram vein was staked the following year. In 1921, Alex Gordon staked the Eureka, Whipsaw, and Extension mining claims. Combined, these five claim groups covered all the known veins in the Bellekeno deposit.

The Bellekeno deposit was mined during four periods between 1921 and 2011. Each period of mining was followed by a period of extensive exploration to replace exhausted mineral inventory. Between 1921 and 1928, 495 t of hand-sorted vein material grading 9,621 g/t silver was sacked and shipped to San Francisco, CA.

The Depression, World War II, and perhaps some litigation marked the transition into larger-scale mining. In 1947, the claims were purchased by Mayo Mines Ltd. After extensive exploration and adit development, production was briefly recommenced. Under the ownership of Mayo Mines, the Bellekeno mine extracted two products: a direct shipping high-grade product, and a lower-grade concentrate that was processed at the nearby Mackeno mill. With high development requirements, small deposits, and poor milling recovery (<70%), the company operated at a net loss between 1947 and 1954.

Between 1955 and 1965, the property changed owners a number of times, as production attempts proved unsuccessful before it was purchased by UKHM. After acquiring the deposit, UKHM began intermittent exploration, development, and rehabilitation programs, and the development of the Bellekeno 625 adit. Exploration programs included surface overburden drilling, soil and geophysics surveys, trenching, and core drilling. Bellekeno was in production between 1988 and 1989, until UKHM was forced into bankruptcy. Purchased in 2006 by Alexco, the small mineral inventory has been expanded and it was in commercial production from 2011 to 2013, and then between 2020 and 2021. Mining to date by Alexco has extracted 6.2 M oz of silver along with lead, and zinc.

The historic production results for Bellekeno Mine are summarized in Table 5‑2.

5.2 History, Drilling, and Past Production of the Lucky Queen Deposit

The Lucky Queen deposit was mined from 1927 to 1932 when mineral inventory was exhausted, producing 112,100 t of vein material at 3,060 g/t Ag from two mineralized shoots. Four levels of underground workings (50, 100, 200, and 300) totaling approximately 1,085 m, were developed, with level development roughly coincident with extensive stoping, resulting in the Lucky Queen production totals listed in Table 5‑4. There were no historical Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves remaining at the Lucky Queen mine.

The Lucky Queen vein and strike extensions were explored intermittently by surface overburden drilling, trenching, and soil sampling throughout the decades from 1950 to the early 1980s.

A 500-level exploration drift collared near the Black Cap prospect, totaling approximately 1,800 m, was developed by UKHM in 1985-1987. It was designed to come in underneath the historical Lucky Queen workings and to drive a raise up to the 300 level and connect with the No 2 inclined shaft. Poor ground conditions near the shaft, combined with difficulty in locating the vein and an urgent need for miners elsewhere in the Keno Hill caused the adit to be abandoned.

Drilling by Alexco in the Lucky Queen prospect area totaled four surface core drill holes (875 m) in 2006, three surface core drill holes (557 m) in 2007, 12 surface core drill holes (2,999 m) in 2008, 14 surface core drill holes (3,048 m) in 2009, and 14 surface core drill holes (3,625 m) in 2010.

Following the rehabilitation of most of the 500 level, four underground core holes (210 m) were drilled in 2012 outside of the resource area.

5.3 History, Drilling, and Past Production of the Flame and Moth Deposit

Claim staking and prospecting began at Flame and Moth in 1920. By 1923, numerous surface workings and a 13 m inclined shaft had been sunk with a 4.6 m crosscut developed from it on the Moth claim. An adit was developed to a length of 12.2 m on the Frances 7 claim. Production for this period is not known.

After this early work, little or nothing appears to have happened on the property until the acquisition by UKHM. A 27.4 m inclined shaft was sunk to a vertical depth of 21.3 m along the footwall of what was likely the Moth vein. A crosscut, through the zone 13.7 m below the surface and 42.7 m of drifting 22.9 m below the surface, identified quartz-carbonate vein-hosted mineralization averaging 343 g/t Ag, 1.6% Pb, and 5% Zn developed in quartzite and greenstone along a zone approximately 30.5 m long and up to 9.1 m wide. Thirteen horizontal core drill holes totaling 193 m were drilled from the drift, but the core recovery was poor.

During 1954 and 1955, mineralization of pyrite and minor arsenopyrite was reported up to 240 m along strike to the north. This was explored by bulldozer trenching, soil sampling, and ground geophysics, but was unsuccessful because of the depth of gravel overburden, reported to a 12 m depth.

UKHM returned to Flame and Moth in 1961 with a program of soil sampling and ground geophysics and drilled five surface core drill holes located near the shaft to test the mineralization at depth. The soil samples and geophysics yielded little information, and no veining was intercepted in the drilling.

In 1965, 28 vertical overburden drill holes were drilled, along with another attempt at soil sampling and geophysics. A proposal to excavate an open pit was first made on this date, based on a calculated resource of 3,360 t grading 573 g/t Ag, 1.4% Pb, and 5.6% Zn. The pit would have reached 18.3 m below the surface.

In 1974, four lines of angled overburden drill holes totaling 989 m were drilled for extensions along a 180 m strike length with limited success due to deep overburden and broken ground conditions, although a weakly mineralized structure was located at 76 m in the footwall of the main vein.

More overburden drilling was completed along strike in 1984 and four core drill holes were sited to test the downward projection of the known mineralization. The deeper drilling (60 to 90 m below the surface) returned only very low values from a wide but diffuse pyritic vein zone. A small amount of vein material (368 t grading 699 g/t Ag, 1.39% Pb, and 0.72% Zn) was sent to the mill, which may have come from vein material exposed during stripping of overburden in preparation for the open pit development. In May 1987, the open pit Mineral Resources were re-evaluated at 12,600 t grading 699 g/t Ag and 4.0% Pb to a depth of 24.4 m. The key assumptions used to estimate this historical estimate are not known. That estimate is superseded by the Mineral Resources reported herein.

Total production at the Flame and Moth property is listed in Table 5‑6 as 1,440 t grading 627 g/t Ag, 1.1% Pb, and 0.9% Zn. It is assumed most of these figures came from the underground work in the 1950s.

5.4 History, Drilling, and Past Production of the Onek Deposit

The Onek Mining Company Ltd. was organized in 1922 to explore the core Onek claims via a number of open cuts and shallow underground workings in two shafts. From 1950 to 1952, UKHM reopened the shafts and drove an adit in from the northwest to drift along the vein strike at the 400 level for approximately 396 m, driving raises up into the historic workings along the way. Some developmental mineralized material was removed. The Onek deposit was revisited in the early 1960s with limited success due to manpower shortages and poor ground support, as the timbers from the 1950s had been left in place. All mining at Onek ceased in 1965 until the late 1980s when a 20 m to 40 m deep open pit was developed over the length of the majority of the Onek workings near the historical shafts. Historical production from the Onek deposit is shown in Table 5‑8.

Surface exploration consisted of extensive overburden drilling along the vein strike as exploration stepouts and as infill drilling for open pit delineation.

Onek | 86,447 | 466 | 5.5 | 3.4 | 1,299,333 | 10,456,254 | 6,452,107

Drilling was performed by the previous owner (Alexco) in the Onek prospect area and totaled 13 surface core drill holes (2,803 m) in 2007, 29 surface core drill holes (5,127 m) in 2008, 25 surface core holes (2,913 m) in 2010, 12 surface core holes (1,138 m) in 2011, and two surface core holes (531.98 m) in 2012.

A 220 m decline was driven towards the Onek deposit in 2012 and 2013 following the drilling of a single 236.77 m surface core portal cover hole. In 2013, 12 underground core holes (738.50 m) were drilled.

5.5 History, Drilling, and Past Production of the Bermingham Deposit

The first claims in the Bermingham area were staked in 1921, within a decade of commercial production starting in Keno Hill. Shallow underground workings were initiated in 1923 with the discovery of vein float and limited production of high-grade silver and lead from the Bermingham vein ensued. When TYC optioned the Mastiff claim group in 1928, a 30 m shaft and 223 m of drifting had been completed on three separate levels. The underground workings showed a structure with a maximum width of 17 m on the 100 level that contained multiple bands of mineralization with interstitial waste that was cut off at its southwest extent by the Mastiff fault.

The TYC optioned the ground in 1928, completed additional underground workings, and identified a fault offset vein portion but dropped the lease in 1930 due to low silver prices and a lack of ore-grade material. Trenching and prospect shafts identified the offset vein approximately 91 m to the west-northwest, where TYC sank the No. 1 shaft and completed 22 m of drifting. An oxidized siderite-pyrite vein with some galena was located below the position of the future main Bermingham pit but no mineralized material was reported from 127 m of drifting completed on the 200 level. TYC relinquished the lease in 1930 due to low silver prices and the absence of economic-grade material. A variety of individual workers extracted another 676 t grading 7,875 g/t Ag and 70% Pb between 1930 and 1940. This work was poorly documented but is known to include considerable trenching, shafting, and drifting during 1930, 1932 to 1937, and 1939 to 1940.

From 1948 to 1951, UKHM drove an adit and drift approximately 9 m below the bottom of the TYC workings. In 1952, many of the old TYC workings were surveyed and sampled, but the adit level was subsequently abandoned in 1954 after very little ore-grade material was realized. During this time, UKHM reportedly milled 5,165 tons of ore at 47.3 oz/ton (opt) Ag, 8% Pb, and 1.3% Zn, of which all but 60 tons were recovered from the old dumps.

Between 1965 and 1982, 874 overburden drillholes totaling 19,931 m, and 27 core holes totaling 2,407 m were drilled in the Bermingham area, a small portion of which occurred in the present resource area. Poor ground conditions prevented many of these holes from adequately penetrating the vein zone, however, they outlined an open pit resource and stripping began in 1977.

Stripping on the main Bermingham pit began in 1977 and until 1983 there was reportedly produced 82,649 t grading 572 g/t Ag. Overburden drilling and open pit mining led to a much better understanding of geology. The feasibility of deepening the Bermingham pit was evaluated from 1980 to 1982 with several percussion drill holes testing the vein below the pit and two diamond drill holes testing the Bleiler extension to the northeast. The drill holes indicated a narrowing of the vein to 3.0 m to 4.5 m wide and did not encounter an economical grade.

To the southwest of the open pit and in the hanging wall of the Mastiff Fault, several historic shafts had tested the offset extension of the Bermingham Vein. These included the No. 3 shaft, sunk by TYC, which included 22 m of drifting on the 45 level. The vein was reported to be 2.4 m wide and to mainly consist of siderite with small bunches of galena; however, no ore was encountered. A small open pit did operate on this segment of the vein in the mid-1980s, and an intended second pit located 150 m to the southwest was stripped to bedrock in 1983. However, the veins exposed there appeared weak and un-mineralized. The historical mineral resource estimate does not use Mineral Resource categories stipulated by S-K 1300. The historical estimate should not be relied upon; it is only stated here for historical completeness.

The exploration conducted by Alexco was the first comprehensive exploration effort in the District since 1997. The first holes drilled by Alexco in the Bermingham area were in 2009 (two core holes totaling 523 m), targeting the Bermingham Vein at depth in the hanging wall of the Mastiff Fault below an area with a historic shallow open pit resource. The results of this drilling were sufficiently encouraging to continue exploration in 2010 and 2011. Alexco conducted further diamond drilling programs at Bermingham in 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2016 in the Bermingham deposit and surrounding area.

Between 2009 and September 2022, a total of 93,777 m surface core diamond drilling was completed by Alexco at Bermingham, with a total of 169 drill holes, including two drill holes (523 m) in 2009, nine drill holes (3,045 m) in 2010, 25 drill holes (6,888 m) in 2011, 17 drill holes (5,576 m) in 2012, eight drill holes (2,667 m) in 2014, eight drill holes (2,606 m) in 2015, 50 drill holes (17,371 m) in 2016, 38 drill holes (13,277 m) in 2017 and 12 drill holes (4,369 m) in 2018. In addition, 24 underground drill holes (4,214 m) were completed from the exploration decline in 2018. 25 holes (12,965 m) were completed in the Bermingham Northeast Deep zone in 2019 and 2020, 60 holes (18,341 m) in 2021, and 6 holes (730 m) in 2022. All holes were diamond-cored in HQ/HTW apart for a few reduced to NQ/NTW because of ground conditions.

In total, Bermingham reportedly produced 3,777,932 oz of silver from 168,979 tonnes of material milled prior to the 1960’s, and 1,568,000 oz of silver from 56,061 tonnes from 2020 through 2023.

6. Geological Setting, Mineralization, and Deposit

6.1 Regional Geology

The Keno Hill (KH) is located within the northwestern part of the Selwyn Basin in the central Yukon. The area is underlain by Upper Proterozoic to Mississippian metasedimentary rocks that were originally deposited in a marine shelf environment along the northern Cordilleran continental margin (Figure 6‑1).

A compressional regime that existed during the Jurassic and Cretaceous produced thrusts, folds, and penetrative fabrics of various scales, with the geological structure in the area dominated by the highly deformed northwest trending Robert Service and Tombstone Thrust Sheets. Early large-scale deformation (D1 and D2) produced recumbent folds, resulting in local structural thickening of strata. A third deformational event (D3) produced gentle southwest plunging synform and antiform pairs (Roots, 1997). The dominant structural fabric (foliation) is essentially axial planar to the early recumbent folds.

The Robert Service Thrust Sheet lies immediately to the south of the Keno Hill and is composed of a Late Proterozoic to Cambrian coarse-grained quartz-rich turbidite sequence containing interbedded shales and locally limestone of the Hyland Group Yusezyu Formation.

The Tombstone Thrust Sheet underlies the KH and consists of basal Devonian phyllite, felsic meta-tuffs, and metaclastic rocks of the Earn Group that are conformably overlain by the Mississippian Keno Hill Quartzite Formation. The stratigraphy is locally thickened due to folding and/or thrusting and the basal part of the Keno Hill Quartzite is the predominant host of the silver-lead-zinc mineralization.

Four periods of intrusive rocks are recognized. During the Late Triassic, at about 232 million years ago (Ma), gabbro to diorite formed sills within the Tombstone Thrust Sheet. A second phase of plutonism took place approximately 92 Ma ago in the early Cretaceous and resulted in the widespread and voluminous felsic Tombstone intrusions of granitic to granodioritic composition that are regionally associated with gold mineralization. Cretaceous lamprophyre dated at 89 Ma occurs as meter scale dykes and sills. The youngest intrusions are peraluminous megacrystic potassium feldspar granite of the Upper Cretaceous McQuesten suite dated at approximately 65 Ma.

In addition to the polymetallic silver–lead–zinc mineralization occurring at Keno Hill, the region also hosts other mineral occurrences including showings of tungsten, copper, gold, lead, zinc, antimony, and barite.

6.2 Local Geology

The KH geology is dominated by the Mississippian Keno Hill Quartzite Formation comprising the Basal Quartzite Member and conformably overlying Sourdough Hill Member. The sequence is overthrust from the south by the Upper Proterozoic Hyland Yusezyu Formation and is conformably underlain in the north by the Devonian Earn Group as shown in the simplified local stratigraphic column in Figure 6‑2.

The Earn Group and Keno Hill Quartzite are locally intruded by stratigraphically conformable, although lensoidal, Middle Triassic greenstone sills, for which any feeder dykes are unrecognizable. The sequence was metamorphosed to greenschist facies assemblages during Cretaceous regional deformation at about 100 Ma and subsequently intruded by aplite sills or dikes considered to be related to the Tombstone intrusive suite.

6.3 Property Geology

The Yusezyu Formation of the Precambrian Hyland Group comprises greenish quartz-rich chlorite-muscovite schist with locally clear and blue quartz-grain gritty schist and is separated from the Keno Hill sequence by the regionally extensive Robert Service Thrust Fault that occurs immediately south of the area.

The Earn Group, formerly mapped as the “lower schist formation” (Boyle, 1965) is typically composed of recessive weathering grey graphitic schist and green chlorite-sericite schist with an upper siliceous graphitic schist found locally.

Within the Keno Hill Quartzite Formation, the Basal Quartzite Member that is the dominant host to the silver mineralization comprises commonly calcareous, thick to thin-bedded quartzite and graphitic schist and may be up to approximately 1,100 m thick where structurally thickened. The overlying Sourdough Hill Member, formerly mapped as the “upper schist formation” (Boyle, 1965), is up to approximately 900 m in thickness and comprises predominantly graphitic and sericitic schist, chloritic quartz augen schist some of which may be of volcanogenic origin, and minor thin embedded limestone.

Three phases of folding are identified with the two earliest phases consisting of isoclinal folding with sub-horizontal, east, or west-trending fold axes, the axial plane forming the dominant regional foliation. The later fold phase displays sub-vertical axial planes and moderate southeast-trending and plunging fold axes. The first phases of folding formed structurally dismembered isoclinal folds of which the Basal Quartzite Member outlines synforms at Monument Hill where the Lucky Queen deposit is located and at Caribou Hill, while between Galena Hill and Sourdough Hill the Bellekeno deposit, the Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits are located on the upper limb of a large-scale anticline that closes to the north.

Up to four main periods of faulting are recognized with the oldest fault set consisting of south-dipping foliation parallel structures that developed contemporaneously with the first phases of folding, sometimes shown as “low angle bedding faults”. The Robert Service Thrust Fault truncates the top of the Keno Hill Quartzite Formation and sets the Precambrian schist of the Yusezyu Formation above the Mississippian Sourdough Hill Member. The silver mineralization in Keno Hill is hosted by a series of northeast-oriented, southeasterly dipping veins formed in pre- and syn-mineral faults referred to as vein-faults (Boyle, 1965) that display left lateral normal oblique displacement. There are two related sets locally recognized as either a more easterly trending “longitudinal” vein set that, depending on the competency of the host rock, can form up to a 30 m wide zone of anastomosing subparallel veins, or a more northerly trending “transverse” vein set that can reach up to 5 m in thickness.

The mineralized vein-faults are commonly offset by northwest striking, steeply southwest dipping, post-mineral cross faults, which display right lateral normal oblique displacement. The simplified geology of Keno Hill and the location of the mineral deposits are shown in Figure 6‑5.

6.4 Mineralization

Mineralization in the KH comprises carbonate vein-hosted polymetallic silver-lead-zinc as described by Boyle (1965), Cathro (2006), Murphy (1997), and Roots (1997). Mineralized zones typically exhibit a succession of hydrothermally precipitated minerals deposited in veins or veinlets resulting from multiple pulses of hydrothermal fluid boiling events, probably related to repeated depressurization due to movement along the host fault structures. As a result, a progressive series of differing mineral depositional stages, assemblages, and textures can be identified. To a minor extent, supergene alteration may have further changed the nature of the mineralogy in the veins, although this may have been largely removed due to glacial erosion.

In general, common gangue minerals include (manganiferous) siderite and, to a lesser extent, quartz, and calcite. Silver occurs predominantly in argentiferous galena and argentiferous tetrahedrite (freibergite) with associated native silver, and the silver-bearing sulfosalts polybasite, stephanite, and pyrargyrite are other important silver-bearing minerals. Lead occurs in galena and zinc in sphalerite, which can be either an iron-rich or iron-poor variety. Other sulfides include pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 80

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Historically, it was believed that economic mineralization in the Keno Hill mining camp was restricted to a shallow zone of approximately 120 m thickness. However, the 370 m depth of production from the Hector-Calumet mine and drill indicated mineralization to over 350 m depth at Flame and Moth and Bermingham demonstrate that silver-rich veins do exist over greater vertical intervals and suggest that other known veins may exhibit exploration potential at depth. It has been suggested (Cathro, 2006) that the mineralization may exhibit a vertical zonation with a typical mineralized shoot displaying a high silver and lead-rich top down to a low silver-zinc-rich base; however, this has not been verified.

Across the District, favorable environments for mineralization are considered to occur where:

 Competent quartzite or greenstone host rock is present on one wall of the vein fault as it can be observed that veins pinch down significantly in schist-bound structures.

 The vein-fault splits to form a more northerly striking orientation.

 The vein-fault changes to a steeper dip.

Wide veining with the development of high-grade silver mineralization is spatially associated with vein-fault domains exhibiting steeper dips and/or more northerly strikes.

6.4.1 Bellekeno Deposit Mineralization

The Bellekeno vein system consists of ten known veins with variable characteristics. Vein material has been extracted from Ram, Eureka, Tundra, 48, 49, and 50 veins that generally strike 030° to 040°, with dip directions varying from 60° southeast to 80° northwest. Recent mechanized mining has focused on the stronger 48 Vein structure, while conventional historical narrower mining focused on the smaller, higher-grade vein structures.

There are three main zones within the 48 Vein structure: the Southwest, 99, and East zones with a strike length ranging between 200 m to 500 m and have been traced by drilling to over 350 m depth extent, each with distinctive silver to lead ratios, zinc content, and accessory mineral assemblages Figure 6‑6.

The thickness of the vein ranges between a few cm to upwards of 5.5 m. Post-mineral faulting typically shows intense iron carbonate alteration and local brecciation while the distribution of syn-mineral faulting is observed to have a strong impact on silver grades and mineral textures (Figure 6‑7). Left oblique-normal movement along the 48 Vein structure is estimated from stratigraphic offset to be approximately 35 m.

The mineralized zones appear as discontinuous steeply plunging shoots, hosted within manganese-rich siderite vein structures and may have pervasive secondary limonitic alteration when exposed to groundwater. Minerals of economic interest include very fine-grained silver-bearing sulfosalts associated with galena and sphalerite. Common accessory minerals include pyrite, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite while anglesite, cerussite, smithsonite, malachite, and azurite have been occasionally observed.

6.4.2 Lucky Queen Mineralization

The Lucky Queen vein-fault structure is essentially a singular structure with an average strike of approximately 043°, that locally varies between 025° to 060°, and has an average dip of approximately 045° to the southeast with a range of 30° to 55°. The main structure has a drill-defined length of approximately 650 m and 230 m recognized through drilling; with vein thickness ranging from a few centimeters to several meters and is open along strike in both directions. Stratigraphic units correlated across the structure show a normal separation of approximately 30 to 35 m across the vein-fault. Mineralized zones are largely composed of brecciated wall rock, siderite (± limonite), vein quartz, with silver sulfosalts, galena, sphalerite, and native silver with minor arsenopyrite and pyrite (Figure 6‑8).

6.4.3 Flame and Moth Mineralization

The Flame Vein is unique because of its uniformly singular form, width, grade, and length. It occurs over a strike length of one kilometer (km) orientated at a strike of 025° and dipping approximately 65° southeast and has been traced by drilling to over 300 m depth extent. Two main styles of mineralized veining commonly with multiple banding, internal brecciation, and often re-healed textures are observed

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 83

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

(Figure 6‑9). The early phase comprises dominantly quartz gangue with abundant but irregular amounts of pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and arsenopyrite, while a later phase comprises predominantly siderite containing abundant sphalerite, pyrite, galena, with minor chalcopyrite and trace amounts of tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite, jamesonite, boulangerite and cassiterite as identified in thin section samples.

The vein is divided into two parts by an approximate 90 m right lateral offset on the post-mineral Mill Fault that is referred to as the Lightning Zone in the southeast and the Christal Zone in the northwest.

The associated Moth Vein, the subject of historic prospecting, is considered to represent a footwall splay of the Flame Vein, although the relationship is not fully understood.

6.4.4 Onek Mineralization

The Onek vein system comprises at least three individual vein-faults occurring within a broad northeast striking, southeast dipping structural zone. The vein-faults occur over a strike length of at least 650 m with 250 m depth extent, formed in brittle fractured or milled zones, locally containing massive sulfide vein material in, or associated with, siderite comprising sphalerite and galena along with minor pyrite, and arsenopyrite (Figure 6‑10).

6.4.5 Bermingham Mineralization

The Bermingham zone comprises a closely spaced series of subparallel steeply southeast dipping vein sets related to the master Bermingham vein-fault system. These are identified (hanging wall to footwall) as the Bermingham, Bermingham Footwall and Bear veins that can be traced over a northeasterly strike distance exceeding 850 m. In addition, a small resource is contained in a conjugate set of related West Dipping veins. In places less extensive, north-northeast striking vein geometries are observed within the mineralized system. Recent detailed underground and surface drilling work has focused on the Arctic and Bear Zones where the vein sets are connected either laterally or vertically within the wider Bermingham

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 86

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

vein-fault structural corridor. Mineralization extends from between 90 m to 160 m below the surface to a depth of approximately 450 m where veining remains open.

The mineralized veins are displaced by several post-mineral faults that subdivide the system into several zones used for Mineral Resource estimation purposes, with the sequence from the southwest being Etta, Arctic, Bear, and Northeast Zones separated by the Mastiff, Arctic, and Ruby B faults, respectively.

The early Aho Vein comprises predominantly quartz that occurs over several meters’ width within a wide halo of structurally damaged rocks. Minor sulfides are present with arsenopyrite and pyrite being the most abundant, with accessory galena and sphalerite.

The Bermingham Vein has a strike between 029° and 042° and dips between 40° and 64° to the southeast and the structure accommodates approximately 65 m of the total Bermingham displacement. In the Etta Zone, and within the hanging wall of the post-mineralization Mastiff fault, the Bermingham vein at its most southwestern extent is observed to converge with the Aho Vein structure; while to the northeast, it converges with the Bermingham Footwall vein.

The Bermingham Footwall Vein has a strike of between 040° and 060°, and dips between 67° and 73° to the southeast, and the structure accommodates approximately 70 m of the total Bermingham displacement. In the Etta Zone, the Bermingham Footwall Vein terminates against the Bermingham Vein up-dip and this intersection plunges moderately steeply to the northeast into the Arctic Zone in the footwall of the post-mineral Mastiff fault. At depth, the Bermingham Footwall Vein terminates against the Aho Vein along a steep plunging north-easterly trajectory.

The Bermingham and Bermingham Footwall veins typically exist within a 5 m to 10 m wide structurally damaged zone containing numerous stringers, veinlets, breccias, and gouge and generally form a discrete silver mineralized vein 0.5 m to 2.5 m wide within this zone. It consists predominantly of carbonate (dolomite, ankerite, siderite, and calcite), and quartz gangue, with the sulfides galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite, and accessory, chalcopyrite, argentiferous tetrahedrite (freibergite), jamesonite, pyrargyrite and native silver (Figure 6‑11).

The Bear Vein strikes between 010°and 050° and dips between 65°and 80° to the southeast and accommodates approximately 30 m of the total Bermingham displacement. It occupies a position in the footwall of the system beneath a major flexure in the Bermingham Vein, with which it joins up-dip. At depth and to the southwest, the Bear Vein junctions with the Bermingham Footwall Vein. Early phase mineralization is absent, and the Bear structure is considered a late response to the slip-impeding flexure in the Bermingham Vein noted above, with the high-grade silver mineralization located on the more northerly striking and steeper dipping areas.

The West Dipping Vein is located between the Bear and Bermingham veins and it strikes 020° and dips 50° to the west. It displays only minor displacement that is considered to represent an adjustment due to a pronounced curvature in the hanging wall surface of the Bear Vein. Similarly, oriented veins were observed historically in the Keno Hill District in the Elsa, Husky, Runer, and Black Cap mines and are also

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 87

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

interpreted at Hector-Calumet and Lucky Queen (Boyle, 1965; Cathro 2006; UKHM, 1997). The Bear and West Dipping veins are structurally and mineralogically similar to the Bermingham Vein, although early quartz and calcite are less abundant or absent, whilst silver sulfosalts are more abundant. This difference is considered a product of a shorter period of later deformation on the Bear and West Dipping vein faults that provided mineral depositional sites only during the latter stages of the mineralizing cycle.

The post-mineralization faults that are recognized within the Bermingham resource area include the Mastiff, Hanging Wall, Arctic, Ruby B, and Super faults. The attitude of these southwest dipping faults appears bimodal, with one set striking at approximately 285° and another at approximately 315°, and likely represent end members of a single fault set. These northwest-trending structures cut and displace all mineralized veins, and while they are typically non-mineralized, it is sometimes observed that mineralization may have been dragged into the later fault.

The Mastiff Fault has an attitude of 137° / 51° SW and displaces the hanging wall obliquely 131 m down to the northwest along a vector of 302° / -23°. Its location is well constrained by drilling and exposure in the main pit. When discussing the location of the mineralization, the vein zones located to the east in the footwall of the Mastiff Fault are referred to as the Arctic, Bear, and Northeast zones, and as the Etta Zone in the west in its hanging wall.

The Hanging Wall Fault strikes between 000° and 025° and dips easterly at between 53° and 65° and is represented in the drill core by very wide (10 - 30 m) zones of unconsolidated fault breccia and gouge, with sporadic weakly developed mineralization that occurs as trails of fragmented clasts interpreted to represent pre-fault material. The Hanging Wall Fault extends to the surface where it was intersected by historic trenching northeast of the current resource area.

The Arctic Fault strikes between 120° and 130° and dips between 45° and 68° to the southwest and displaces all veins 76 m down to the southwest along a vector 274° / -29°. It includes two sub-parallel splays, and their generation is considered a response to a strong flexure in the main fault shape. A splay off the Arctic Fault, named the A Fault, is mapped in the open pit but this does not appear to have significant displacement and does not affect the current resource area.

The Super Fault is exposed in the eastern end of the open pit where the fault surface exhibits a thin skin of fault breccia on an undulating surface that has an average altitude of 133° / 25° SW with the hanging wall displaced approximately 42 m down to the southwest along a vector 272° / -15°. The structure is well represented in the drill core and separates the mineralization in the shallow historic underground mine workings and open pit from the current resource area which is wholly situated in its footwall.

The Ruby B Fault strikes between 115° and 130° and dips between 60° and 70° to the southwest and separates the Bear Zone mineralization from the Northeast Zone by approximately 60 m right-lateral offset. A similar separation of veining is observed on the fault within the historical underground Ruby Mine located approximately 200 m to the northwest.

6.5 Deposit Types

The Keno Hill deposits do not readily fit into a recognized mineral deposit model and attempts to classify a “deposit type” for the mineralization are questionable given that the source(s) of metals and conditions related to ore-deposition are poorly understood.

Beaudoin and Sangster (1992) classified the Keno Hill as sediment-hosted veins, likened to the silver bearing deposits in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District, USA and the Kokanee Range, Canada. A genetic relationship between silver-lead-zinc and intrusion-related gold mineralization has also been postulated (Mair et al., 2006).

The mineralization has been more recently classified as belonging to the Lithogene genetic group (Greybeal and Vikre, 2010) which invokes a depositional environment of re-mobilized metals, with no magmatic contribution or associated gold.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 89

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Current information, however, shows that this latter classification is not correct, as there is some magmatic component, with local felsic intrusives acting at least in part as a heat source for hydrothermal fluid circulation, and gold is associated with the mineralization.

Mineral precipitation occurred within the thick sequence of clastic metasedimentary rock from hydrothermal fluids at temperatures from 250°C to 400°C and estimated depths of up to 11 km. Mineral deposition probably occurred in multiple pulses in response to pressure and temperature changes as boiling or fluid mixing took place preferentially in structurally prepared open spaces primarily in the competent Basal Quartzite Member and Greenstone lithologies. The source of the metals is not fully known and could be leached from crustal rocks by hot circulating fluids or derived from late-stage fractionation of the intrusives.

7. Exploration

The Keno Hill mining District exploration history dates to the beginning of the 1900s with early gold prospecting near the Mayo township. In 1903, the first silver mineralization was found followed by small-scale manual mining in 1913 at Silver King.

Following a lull in activity during and after the Second World War, a new company Keno Hill Mining Company Ltd, which was later renamed United Keno Hill Mines Ltd, purchased properties, and commenced production opening a new period of exploration activity. The peak of mining activity during the 1950s and 1960s saw the discovery of new deposits across the area with increased production from larger underground complexes such as the Hector Calumet camp.

United Keno Hill Mines (UKHM) undertook extensive exploration in Keno Hill until the mines closed and production stopped in 1989 (Cathro, 2006). The bulk of this historic exploration work was completed by driving along vein structures. This activity was complemented by underground drilling designed to explore and extend mineral resources in the underground mines together with extensive surface drilling, mapping, and district-scale geophysical surveys. It is beyond the scope of this report to describe all the historical exploration work completed in the District and only the relevant historical work is referred to below.

Despite the project’s long history, the exploration work conducted by Alexco Resource Corp after 2006 comprised the first modern comprehensive exploration effort in Keno Hill since 1989. Alexco’s initial work commenced with a program of digital scanning and compiling of many UKHM mining plans, geological maps, and documents covering nearly 70 years of historic mining and compiling a coherent database comprising over 6,000 historic diamond and 16,000 overburden (RAB) drill holes. The data has been made available on a mapping platform used to construct mine scale maps and three-dimensional (3D) mine models.

During its ownership period from 2006 to 2022, Alexco completed a total of 945 surface exploration holes for a total of 240,978 m. In addition, a total of 445 underground holes for 31,318 m have also been completed, mainly at Bellekeno, but also includes 24 holes for 4,213 m drilled in 2018 from the Bermingham exploration decline. A further 34 RC holes and one sonic hole for a total of 1,242 m have been completed in the South McQuesten Valley area, exclusive of the resource definition drilling previously undertaken for the Elsa Tailings deposit. Table 7‑1 provides an overview of all Alexco drilling across the District by area, from 2006 to the end of its ownership period in September 2022.

The focus of Alexco’s exploration drilling efforts primarily targeted immediately adjacent to historic mining areas with less reduced activity evaluating other structurally controlled narrow vein mineralization targets. The majority of drilling was undertaken at the five main deposits comprising Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, and Onek. In the area around the Flame and Moth deposit a blind exploration discovery was made in 2010 based on following up historic drill results. Further exploration has been completed beyond the central resource zone to the Flame West, Mackeno, and Northeast Flame areas, with the total drilling in the wider Flame and Moth area comprising 42,695 m in 187 surface drill holes. Exploration work in the Flame and Moth area later changed to underground drilling to support the commencement of mining operations in 2021.

During 2020, Alexco commenced underground mining development activities initially at Bellekeno and subsequently at Bermingham and Flame and Moth. The commencement of mining development shifted the focus of exploration drilling to areas adjacent to the outlined resources.

In 2021 Alexco conducted a directional drilling program which included 17,742 m of directional drilling at Bermingham Northeast Deep zone. During the periods in 2021 and 2022, Alexco suffered delays to both mining and exploration due to COVID-19 isolation restrictions and reduced staffing of personnel resulting in a reduction in productivity.

By June 2022, Alexco had suspended mineral processing operations due to a shortfall in mining production that was originally forecast to meet the 400 tons per day processing rate. Mining operations continued to stockpile material in anticipation of processing recommencing when mining rates improved.

In early September 2022, the ownership of the Keno Hill Project passed to Hecla Mining Company, owner of producing silver mines in Alaska and Idaho, USA, a gold mine in Quebec, and 14 projects in North America. Mining operations and exploration drilling activity continued throughout the change of ownership period.

Under Hecla, exploration drilling was maintained in areas in proximity to the Bermingham underground mine development. Drilling programs at Coral Wigwam and Hector-Calumet initiated by Alexco continued into the Hecla ownership period.

During 2023, Hecla completed surface exploration drilling using two rigs with a focus on the vicinity of the historic Silver King mine and the Coral Wigwam area, approximately 800 m along a west-southwest structural trend from the Bermingham deposit. The drilling completed by Boart Longyear comprised 8 holes for 4,001 m. Early indications from shallow geology-defining drill holes in the Coral Wigwam area identified a structural geology framework similar to that which hosts the Bermingham deposit.

7.1 Surface Sampling and Mapping

A district-wide surface geological mapping and structural study which started in 2007, was completed in 2018 with a revised Geological Map of the Keno Hill District being published in conjunction with the Yukon Geological Survey in 2021.

Limited historical trenching work was completed along vein strike extensions, with very limited assaying and little geological information documented.

In 2013, Alexco completed a six-trench program totaling 375 m on Galena Hill between the Bermingham and Hector-Calumet historic mines.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 93

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

7.1.1 Lucky Queen

At Lucky Queen, the district-wide surface geological mapping and structural study took place from 2007 and was continued through the 2012 field season with findings incorporated into the Lucky Queen geologic model where applicable.

7.1.2 Flame and Moth

During 2010, a soil geochemical survey was completed in the Flame and Moth area defining anomalies that were tested in a follow-up program of 32 drillholes for 7,150 m in 2011 with the results leading to the publication of the initial resource estimate (SRK, 2012a).

7.1.3 Bermingham

In 2010, a soil-gas survey was conducted along a 2,200 m long by 175 m wide corridor stretching from Coral-Wigwam, over the historic Bermingham pit area, to the Townsite mine. An induced polarization and resistivity geophysical survey was conducted over the same area. As a result of these surveys, some anomalies were identified on the Bermingham trend along the strike southwest of the historic open pit workings and these remain as future drilling targets.

The soil-gas survey, in conjunction with the district-wide geological mapping and structural study, detailed re-mapping of the historic Bermingham open pit, and interpretation of drill results have been used to resolve the stratigraphy and structural complications at Bermingham and to further refine vein targeting.

7.2 Underground Sampling

Sampling of the underground production faces is conducted regularly, occurring at each advance with a frequency ranging from 1.5 m to 3 m, depending on the advance length. This involves using a hammer and chisel with the chip channel sampling method.

The samples are collected between the hanging wall and footwall contacts of mineralized zones, with common lengths being 1.0 and 1.5 meters. However, it has been noted that a small proportion of the samples (4% of face samples) deviate from these common lengths, with some as short as 0.30 m and others exceeding 3.00 meters, reaching up to 7.21 meters.

Upon analysis at the in-house laboratory, it was observed that the assay results could show a positive bias from the long-range model and mill head grades. The exact reasons for this bias remain unclear, but it is

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 94

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

hypothesized that it may be attributed to oversampling influenced by the physical properties of the higher-grade zones currently under investigation.

The sampling has been conducted in Onek, Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Bermingham, and Flame and Moth. However, in the resource estimation process, face samples have been excluded, except for Bellekeno, which was included in the estimation process undertaken by SRK Consulting Inc. (SRK) in 2013. To address potential bias during resource estimation, factoring has been applied to the face samples. As of now, there have been no significant changes in Bellekeno, and consequently, SRK’s resource model has not been updated.

7.3 Exploration Drilling – 2006 to 2023

In 2006, Alexco purchased the UKHM Keno Hill project and commenced exploration activities including an active surface exploration program. Core drilling during 2006 was performed by Peak Diamond Drilling, of Courtenay, British Columbia, utilizing two skid-mounted drill rigs, an LF-70 drill, and an EF-90 drill. Drilling employed the wireline method using N-size equipment (NQ2). Drilling in 2006 focused on several target areas that included the Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Ruby, Shamrock, Silver King, and Husky deposit areas. In 2007 and 2008, core drilling was performed by Quest Diamond Drilling, of Abbotsford, British Columbia, utilizing four skid-mounted drill rigs, two LF-70 drills, and two LF-90 drills in 2007; and two skid-mounted drill rigs, one LF-90, and one QD-4 drills in 2008. Drilling employed the wireline method using H-size equipment (HQ).

The 2009 surface drilling was performed by Kluane Drilling of Whitehorse, Yukon, utilizing two skid-mounted KD-1000 drills. Drilling employed the wireline method using N- and H-size equipment.

Surface drilling in 2010 was split among three contractors: Cabo Drilling of Surrey, BC, Kluane Drilling of Whitehorse, Yukon, and Ensign Encore Drilling from Calgary, Alberta.

In the period from 2011 onwards, the Boart Longyear drilling company based in Calgary completed much of the surface drilling extending through the project ownership period from Alexco to Hecla. Drilling has been conducted predominantly with LF70 and LF90 wireline drill rigs or an LX11 multipurpose rig for RC pre-collar and diamond tail drillholes. All core was recovered in PQ, HQ, or NQ sizes.

For all programs the drilling was well supervised, the drill sites were clean and safe, and the work was efficiently completed. Diamond drill operational safety inspections were conducted on each drill rig at various times throughout the drilling programs.

Underground core drilling at Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, and Onek conducted in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016 was completed in NQ or HQ core size by Boart Longyear utilizing skid-mounted LM90 diamond drill rigs. Underground core drilling at Bermingham in 2018 was conducted by Boart Longyear utilizing two LM90 drill rigs and recovered, in most cases, HQ-size core.

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Air rotary geotechnical/hydrological drilling programs completed at Flame and Moth and Bermingham in 2013 and 2016 were completed by Midnight Sun Drilling, based in Whitehorse, Yukon, utilizing a Sandvik Marlin M5 Truck Mount rig. This drilling is not included in the drilling summary above.

Proposed surface drill hole collars were initially located using a handheld Garmin GPS device, with the completed collars being surveyed with either an Ashtech GPS device utilizing post-processing software or a Sokkia GRX1 RTK GPS.

All underground collars and drill stations were surveyed by underground surveyors (employed by Procon Mining & Tunnelling Ltd. or Alexco) using a total station survey instrument. In 2017– 2018 all underground surveying was undertaken by Alexco personnel with drill hole collar orientations set by Reflex Gyrocompass.

All coordinates are recorded in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) NAD 83 Zone 8 map projection system. Up until 2010, downhole surveys were recorded using Reflex survey tools at regular intervals between 15 m and 30 m depending on the hole location and geologic conditions. Since 2011, surface holes have been surveyed progressively down holes at 24 m intervals using Reflex single shot tools, while underground surveys have been by Reflex Multishot at 12 m intervals obtained on retreat from the hole.

In early September 2022, the ownership of the Keno Hill Project was passed to Hecla Mining Company. Mining operations and exploration drilling activity continued throughout the change of ownership period.

Hecla retained Boart Longyear as diamond drilling contractor for surface exploration drilling. A large portion of the geologic diamond drilling program in 2023 comprised surface and underground drilling at Bermingham and Flame and Moth to support the mining operations and extend the near-mine mineral resource. Through 2022 and 2023, one underground rig from Boart Longyear completed underground coring programs initially at Flame and Moth followed by drilling at Bermingham.

The database’s cut-off date for drillholes included in this report is October 30, 2023.

7.3.1 Bellekeno Deposit

A series of surface and underground core drilling programs have been conducted on the Bellekeno deposit since 2006. The combined drilling programs by Alexco have produced 43,693 m of drill core from 445 drill holes targeting mineralized zone extensions including the Ram, Eureka, and 48 Vein systems, including the projected southwest Thunder Zone extension of the 48 Vein and the northern extension at the Balto prospect. Results were used to verify historical results and for mineral resource estimation (Wardrop, 2009).

The drilling programs conducted included surface drilling totaling 20,227 m of HQ core in 72 surface holes and 23,466 m in 373 underground holes; the underground holes were mostly HQ except for 79 NQ holes totaling 5,095 m). Since the interim closure of the Bellekeno Mine in 2013, modeling of the mine geology

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 96

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

has assisted in the development of a Keno District exploration model that has helped to develop an understanding of the structural controls of mineralization.

The Bellekeno Mine commenced operations in 2011 and at that time was Canada’s only operating primary silver mine. Mining operations were suspended in 2013.

The last drill hole completed at Bellekeno was in 2015 and no further drilling has been conducted by Hecla following the change of ownership.

Underground mining was restarted at Bellekeno by Alexco in 2021 to provide short-term ore supply for the processing plant to expand longer-term operations at Bermingham and Flame and Moth. Toward the end of 2021, Alexco reported that the underground assets at Bellekeno had been removed and redeployed with the mine transitioned to long-term monitoring.

7.3.2 Lucky Queen Deposit

Drilling in the Lucky Queen prospect area in 2006 totaled 875 m in four surface core holes that targeted the vein structure below the southwest end of the historic workings and around the lowermost reaches of the internal winze.

Further drilling late in the 2007 season consisted of 557 m in three surface core drill holes; however, only one reached the target depth before inclement weather forced an end to the program. In 2008, a further twelve surface core holes totaling 2,999 m were completed as step-outs along the strike of the vein to the southwest. Closer spaced and infill drilling around the 2007 drill hole intercept was the focus of the 2009 and 2010 programs when a total of 6,673 m drilling was completed in 28 surface holes to form the basis for a resource estimate (SRK, 2011a).

Following partial rehabilitation of the historic 500-level adit in 2013, four underground core holes totaling 211 m were drilled outside of the resource area.

A district-wide surface geological mapping and structural study started in 2007 and was continued through the 2012 field season with findings incorporated into the Lucky Queen geological model where applicable.

No further drilling has been conducted by Hecla since the change of ownership with the last drilling completed in 2017.

7.3.3 Flame and Moth Deposit

Field mapping in the vicinity of shallow historic prospect workings on the Moth Vein identified the presence of a north-northeast trending vein-fault interpreted to have a displacement of approximately 450 m based on the offset of local stratigraphy (McOnie and Read, 2009). In conjunction with the review

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 97

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

of past exploration results on the property, this led to the generation of drill targets and the completion of 3,986 m of drilling in 14 drill holes in 2010 that included the Flame Vein discovery hole (Drill Hole K-10-0264) intersecting 693 g/t silver over a 4.64 m interval.

In 2010, a soil geochemical and a ground magnetic geophysical survey were also completed over the area. A further 32 drill holes for 7,150 m were drilled in 2011 with the results leading to the publication of the initial resource estimate (SRK, 2012a). Follow-up drilling of 49 drill holes for 10,325 m completed in 2012 supported a revised resource estimate (Farrow and McOnie, 2013).

In 2013, an additional eight drill holes were completed for 1,835 m, extending the strike length of the mineralization for at least 220 m to the southwest to a total of over 900 m. Several ground geophysical surveys were also undertaken at this time; however, these were not successful in delineating the mineralization.

Drilling completed in 2014 comprised 53 holes for 13,360 m that was largely designed to increase the source data to support an updated resource estimate (RPA, 2017) and to explore further along the strike to the southwest.

Initial portal development of approximately 20 m was completed by Alexco in 2016. In total, 17 geotechnical underground drill holes were completed along the proposed decline trace, for a total of 572 m. By the end of September 2018, the decline had progressed to 312 m and a further 11 geotechnical holes combined with metallurgical drilling were completed for 1,167 m; one hole for 113 m was completed in 2020.

In early 2021, Alexco completed an additional 6 surface diamond holes for 781 m while development of the underground decline continued. Drilling was conducted by drilling contractor Boart Longyear using an LF70 rig.

At the end of March 2022, the Flame and Moth underground development had reached the planned ore mining levels.

With the availability of access into the underground, drilling in the first half of 2022 shifted to a series of underground diamond holes with the completion of 8 holes for 879 m in May and June 2022. Drilling was reduced during the change of ownership period until later in 2022 when Hecla completed 11 holes for 1,059 m. During the 2022 period, drilling was completed by Boart Longyear in HQ core size for all drillholes completed by Alexco and Hecla. No drilling was completed at underground or surface locations during 2023.

7.3.4 Onek Deposit

Drilling on the Onek prospect in 2007 totaled 13 surface core drill holes for 2,803 m that targeted the down-plunge extension of the mineralization outlined in the historical workings. Twenty-nine surface

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 98

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

core drill holes for 5,130 m were drilled in 2008 as infill and extension around the well-mineralized 2007 intercepts and targeted the historical resource blocks. No work was completed in 2009, but renewed focus in 2010 saw an additional 29 surface holes drilled for 3,694 m farther along the strike to the southwest of the historical workings. Infill drilling to the southwest was completed in 14 surface core holes for 1,295 m in 2011 and in 2012 two surface holes for 532 m were drilled along strike to the southwest outside of the resource area.

The drill data and detailed open pit mapping were used to construct a geological model that formed the basis of the initial resource estimate completed in 2011 (SRK, 2011b).

Following the drilling of a 237 m long surface core portal cover hole in 2012, a 220 m decline was driven northwest from the Lightning Creek valley and remains just short of the mineralized vein system. In 2013, eleven underground core holes for 739 m were drilled.

No further exploration drilling has been completed by Alexco or Hecla after the underground diamond drilling in 2013.

7.3.5 Bermingham Deposit

The first targets generated in the Bermingham area were drilled by Alexco in 2009 with two holes completed for 523 m. The Bermingham Vein was targeted at depth in the hanging wall of the Mastiff Fault below an area where a historic shallow open pit resource had been outlined by UKHM and some anomalous silver drill hole intercepts existed. The results of this drilling were sufficiently encouraging to continue exploration in 2010 and 2011 when an additional 34 holes were completed for 9,933 m.

Seventeen drill holes were completed for 5,576 m in 2012 to identify southwesterly extensions of the vein system and to investigate vein continuity to the northeast into the footwall of the Mastiff Fault. This drilling was incorporated into an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Etta and Arctic Zones completed (SRK, 2012b).

Eight drill holes were completed for 2,667 m in 2014, to establish continuity of the northeastern extensions of the mineralization, and in 2015, a further eight drill holes were completed for 2,606 m to follow up on a very high-grade intersection on what is now recognized as the Bear Vein in the footwall of the Bermingham Vein. A revised mineral resource estimate was prepared in 2015 (RPA, 2017).

Fifty drill holes were completed for 17,371 m in 2016, to define the extent of this high-grade Bear Vein and to better understand vein geometries and the position of some post-mineral faults known in the area. As reported later, the drilling was completed at sufficient intercept spacing to allow an updated resource estimate (RPA, 2017). In addition, because all holes had been drilled in a northwesterly direction against the dip of the target structures, and some unexplained mineralized vein intercepts could not be readily correlated, the presence of a reverse dipping vein set as seen in some historic mines was suspected. To

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 99

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

test this, a series of five holes for 1,729 m were deliberately drilled in a southeasterly direction which confirmed the presence of the mineralized west-dipping veins.

In 2017, a drill program was dedicated to the infill and improved definition of mineralized vein structures previously outlined at Bermingham. A total of 38 drill holes for 13,277 m were completed. Geological data from the drilling assisted with the confirmation of the geological interpretation and provided the tenor of silver grades. Mining of a 550 m underground exploration decline was completed by June 2018 to provide a platform for close-spaced infill resource definition drilling.

In 2018, the Bermingham exploration program comprised a 24-hole, 4,213 m infill underground drilling component as well as a 12-hole 4,369 m surface program for deeper and more extensive targets. Wide-spaced step-out exploration drilling comprising 25 holes for 12,965 m was completed on the Bermingham Northeast Deep zone in 2019 and 2020.

The 2020 drilling program was designed to assess the Northeast Deep target area in more detail using a nominal drill intercept spacing of 100 m along strike and 50 m in dip separation with all holes drilled from the surface. Completed drilling confirmed the Northeast Deep zone mineralization lies within a structurally complex corridor with a varying horizontal to shallow northeast plunge. The drilling results outlined a strike extent of 550 m and a dip extent of up to 100 m. The company considered an additional 400 m strike zone extended toward the southwest through the Bear, Arctic, and Etta target zones with a more moderate northeast plunge. The location of this drilling is shown in the long section presented in Figure 7‑1.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 7‑ – Long Section Showing the Location of 2020 Bermingham Northeast Deep Drilling (Alexco, 2021a).

Further drilling in the Bermingham area continued into 2021 with the location of hole paths depicted in Figure 7‑2. The completed program provided a nominal intersection spacing of 35 m in strike and 25 m in dip separation along the subparallel Bermingham Main and Bermingham Footwall veins. The program incorporated directional drilling methods from surface drill sites to maximize the opportunity from the completed meters. The drilled intercepts confirmed the varying northeast plunge with observed mineralogy showing characteristics similar to the nearby Bermingham deposit. The mineralized widths ranged up to 20 m coincident with changes in strike and dip of the hosting fault structure in response to variations in rock competency and proximity to the intersection of the two veins. The accumulated drilling extended over a strike extent of 900 m primarily characterized by thick-bedded quartzites of the Keno Hill Quartzite that also hosts the nearby Hector-Calumet deposit.

The results of the district-wide surface geological mapping and structural study have been used in conjunction with the interpretation of the drill results and detailed remapping of the historic Bermingham open pit to resolve the stratigraphy and structural complications at Bermingham and to further refine vein targeting.

From early September 2022, the ownership of the Keno Hill Project passed to Hecla Mining Company; mining operations and exploration drilling activity continued throughout the change of ownership period.

In 2022, Bermingham exploration reverted to underground drilling from within the mine to test the Arctic Vein followed by further underground drilling in 2023. Of the 62 holes completed during 2023, 39 were drilled from underground at Bermingham testing the Artic Vein and two holes were drilled into the Townsite Vein. The remaining 21 holes were drilled from surface locations for an aggregate of 8,258 m. All drilling of surface and underground holes in recent years was completed by Boart Longyear except four underground holes completed by Hy-Tech.

7.3.6 Other Deposits

During the period from 2006 to 2022, Alexco’s exploration drilling efforts were primarily focused on testing targets immediately adjacent to the historic mining and resource areas with reduced emphasis on evaluating other structure-controlled narrow vein mineralization targets. The majority of the drilling completed was undertaken at the five main deposits comprising Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, and Onek. During Alexco’s ownership, drilling was also completed at a wide range of smaller deposits and target areas.

In the western part of the District, initial drill programs were completed at the McQuesten and the Leo prospects. The McQuesten prospect was optioned by Alexco to Banyan Gold under an earn-in expenditure agreement. At Silver King, drilling of 13,193 m in 50 drill holes was mainly focused on extending the historic resource in the No. 5 Vein in the hanging wall of the historically mined

mineralization. Some significant intercepts recovered during the drilling indicated that further exploration was required of this structure, as well as along the extensions of the past producing No. 1 and No. 2 veins.

Along the Husky – Husky SW vein system, the northeastern extension of the Silver King structure, Alexco completed 12,224 m of drilling in 46 drill holes. The results of this drilling confirmed that the historically mined veins locally extend at depth beneath the mine workings, and it was considered that potential exists for locating additional mineralization.

The mineralized Bermingham vein structure, first drilled by Alexco in 2009, was spatially related to the southwest extension of the major 96 M oz historic silver-producing Hector-Calumet mine vein system and extended further southwest to the Coral Wigwam and Brefalt offset area. The mineralized structure was complex, and several interpreted veins were identified in the area. Exploration drilling in this area comprised 14,473 m of drilling in 54 surface drill holes targeting the Galena Hill area beyond the Bermingham resource and including several other subparallel mineralized vein structures such as Elsa, Townsite, No Cash, and Ruby. This drilling resulted in the discovery of significant high-grade silver mineralization and has possibly also located the Brefalt fault offset to the Bermingham system to the southwest. Other targets drilled at the northeastern end of Galena Hill at Inca, Eagle, and Galkeno have also identified mineralized intercepts that will be followed up in the future.

At the Keno Hill deposit, and beyond the drilling related to the Lucky Queen and Onek resource areas, Alexco completed exploration drilling on the Keno, Shamrock, Black Cap, and Runer vein systems for an aggregate of 19 holes and 3,717 m. In each of these locations, results and geological data collected by Alexco indicated additional exploration work was justified although no drilling has been completed after 2018.

With the commencement of mining activities in 2020, Alexco’s exploration drilling returned to focusing on the mining projects and nearby resource areas interpreted from evaluating historic exploration data.

In the first half of 2022, Alexco commenced surface exploration drilling focused on testing new targets at the Silver King, Coral Wigwam, and Hector-Calumet deposits. The Coral-Wigwam deposit area is located 800 m west-southwest along the strike from the Bermingham deposit. A plan showing the location of the exploration drilling sites relative to the Bermingham deposit has been presented in Figure 7‑3.

Mineralization in these target areas was considered to represent structural analogs to the nearby Bermingham deposit identified through the ore control model where northeast-trending transverse structures intersect with east-northeast trending longitudinal structures.

While many areas of mineralization are hosted within the basal quartzite, several mineralized intercepts at both Coral-Wigwam and Silver King are in rocks above this favored host position. The intercepts at Silver King were located on the longitudinally oriented structures. The observation of mineralized intercepts in these sites suggested that further evaluation of the previous drilling in this area was warranted. Drilling continued in the Coral-Wigwam area, testing predominantly the Walleye Vein from May until November 2022.

From early September 2022, the ownership of the Keno Hill Project passed to Hecla although exploration drilling activity continued throughout the change of ownership period.

Significant drill intercepts recovered from the 2022 drilling program were reported by Hecla as regular press releases. Tabulated data was provided in imperial measurements which have been converted to metric using the conversion formula provided in Table 7‑4.

Drilling at Silver King included multiple intersections in different splay veins with some mineralized intervals hosted in historically less productive portions of the Keno Hill stratigraphy that overlie and project into the more favorable basal quartzite. Drilling for the 2022 year included a total of 12 holes for 4,674 m. Significant intercepts recovered from the 2022 drilling program are presented in Table 7‑5.

Intercepts reported by Hecla are determined using a >30g/t Ag threshold and may include up to 2 m of internal waste.

The 2022 program included drilling at Coral Wigwam comprising 17 holes for 5,700 m with a further 5 holes for 3,203 m at Hector-Calumet. Drilling was completed by contractor Boart Longyear using HQ sized core with operations being largely continuous from May to November 2022, which spanned the change of ownership from Alexco to Hecla. Significant intercepts recovered from the Coral Wigwam and Hector-Calumet drilling during 2022 are shown in Table 7‑6.

Further drilling was completed at Coral Wigwam in August 2023 with the completion of three holes for 1,111 m which included one abandoned drillhole.

As part of the 2023 Bermingham exploration drilling program, Boart Longyear completed 6 holes for 1,856 m evaluating a mineralized extension of the historical Ruby Mine.

The plunging intersection between two vein structures was interpreted as the ore control for mineralization at the historic Ruby Mine and became a drilling target for further investigation. Drilling indicated that the structural architecture was complex preventing a clear understanding of the mineralization controls (Figure 7‑4).

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 7‑ – Plan View of the Bermingham Area (Hecla, 2023b).

As part of the same 2023 exploration program, drilling was planned for the Chance Vein at the Hector-Calumet deposit. Previous drilling intersected a narrow-mineralized interval that warranted a follow-up. Four holes for 2,056 m were completed on this program before the rig was relocated to other exploration target areas.

Three vein structures project into this area between Bermingham Main and Townsite veins which comprise the Ruby, Ruby Splay, and Bear Veins. Additional drilling is required to provide details of vein orientations and mineralization controls as the planar veins do not appear to be continuous through the area. This target area warrants further drilling as it is a short distance from the planned underground infrastructure.

7.4 Geochemistry

Historic soil geochemical surveys conducted over the area by UKHM demonstrated widespread lead-zinc anomalies near the Bermingham deposit but did not effectively outline the details of the mineralized vein-fault structures. Soil surveys were also not effective for exploration near the Flame and Moth deposit due to the irregular Pleistocene glaciofluvial cover and the shallow depth of permafrost.

7.5 Geophysics

In 2006, a wide-spaced district-scale aerial magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical survey and air photography was undertaken. Diamond drilling of prospects ranked highly as having the potential to return mineable silver resources also commenced that year with work focusing on the Bellekeno, Silver King, and Lucky Queen areas.

In late 2018, Alexco undertook a detailed aerial RESOLVE EM-Magnetic geophysical survey over Galena Hill, later extended to cover Keno Hill in 2020. The survey provided detailed structural information that in addition to the district geologic mapping defines a general 1 km periodicity of large-displacement northeast oriented transvers vein-faults that hosts mineralization assisting with the definition of drill targets. This structural understanding has substantially increased the success rate of intersecting mineralization with exploration drilling.

7.6 Historical Drilling

7.6.1 Bellekeno Deposit

Historical percussion and core drilling for the Bellekeno area extended from 1975 to 1996, and although recovered data has been compiled, some sections are most likely incomplete.

Between 1975 and 1996, UKHM drilled four surface, and two underground percussion programs. These drill holes were logged, sampled, and assayed at four, and five-foot intervals (1.22 m and 1.52 m), respectively. Originally, percussion drilling and sampling were undertaken to mitigate the loss of vein material observed in coring programs. However, this type of drilling is considered to provide low-quality data, with recirculation of water and rock material and the nature of chip logging and was not used for resource estimation.

Core drilling programs between 1986 and 1996 were from underground and totaled 4,944 m in 60 drill holes completed by UKHM. Holes were drilled with BQ and NQ tools but generally resulted in moderate to poor recovery in areas where foliation and stratigraphy were subparallel to the core angle, or heavily fractured or friable material was encountered. Drill holes were generally designed to test for the

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 109

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

downward extension of the 99 Zone, with smaller programs for the Southwest and East zones, as illustrated in Figure 7‑5.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 7‑ – Bellekeno Mine Long Section Looking Northwest, 1986 – 1996 UKHM Core Drill Holes (SRK, 2013).

Archived drilling data and procedures were reviewed by G. David Keller, P.Geo., of SRK as part of the updated PEA technical report issued by Wardrop in 2009. As part of this review, Mr. Keller discussed the drill core sampling procedures with UKHM staff active during the mining operations at Bellekeno. The drilling procedures were deemed reasonable based upon the limited information available (Wardrop, 2009), and thus considered reliable for geologic interpretation and resource calculations.

7.6.2 Lucky Queen Deposit

Historical drilling information is available for the Lucky Queen area from the 1950s through the 1980s. In 1957, UKHM drilled two surface core drill holes (Lucky Queen 2 and Lucky Queen 4) that intercepted the main Lucky Queen structure below the existing 300-level workings; however, core recovery was very poor. For example, across a 50.90 m interval (from a depth of 156.06 m to 206.96 m in drill hole Lucky Queen 4), recorded recovery averaged only 22% in the approximate vicinity of the vein because of the fractured and friable nature of vein material. No assays exist for these drill holes because vein material was either not intercepted or was not recovered and, thus, assaying was likely deemed unnecessary. In addition, survey control for these drill holes is sparse. For the above reasons, the historical surface core drilling data was not used in the Lucky Queen resource estimate.

Between 1985 and 1987, UKHM drilled underground percussion test drill holes from the Lucky Queen 500 level adit that were sampled and assayed at 4 ft (1.2 m) intervals. Percussion drilling was not considered

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 110

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

to reliably present an accurate location for samples and recovery data was not obtained by UKHM. On this basis, historic assays were not used in any resource estimate. The test drill holes did however provide useful geological information and were used to help constrain the geometry of the main Lucky Queen structure and associated splay structures during wireframe construction.

Shallow, rotary percussion surface drill holes were also drilled in the Lucky Queen area in the 1970’s through 1980 totaling approximately 20,400 m in 507 drill holes. As with the underground rotary percussion drill holes, these data were not deemed reliable for Mineral Resource estimation although the data was used in select geostatistics (variography) and in the construction of mineralization and geological models, where applicable.

7.6.3 Flame and Moth Deposit

Historical drilling at Flame and Moth was dominantly shallow surface percussion overburden drill holes with 133 drill holes totaling 4,044 m drilled on an average azimuth of 320°. Nine core drill holes totaling 731 m were drilled from the surface and 13 drill holes totaling 193 m were drilled from the shallow underground workings. Core recovery was generally poor, particularly in mineralized zones which were the only intervals assayed.

Due to recovery issues for the historical core drill holes, lack of careful sampling techniques, and the open-hole nature of the percussion drilling, drilling data from these programs were not deemed reliable for use in the Mineral Resource estimation, although the data were used in the construction of geological models where applicable.

7.6.4 Onek Deposit

Historical core drilling at the Onek deposit was limited to 10 short-length horizontal underground drill holes drilled at varying azimuths with absent downhole survey data. Drill recovery was generally poor, particularly in mineralized zones, and core assays were restricted to well-mineralized zones.

Shallow, open-hole, surface percussion drilling was also undertaken in the Onek area, mainly in the historic open pit area, during the 1970s, with a total of approximately 13,000 m completed in 319 holes.

Due to recovery issues for the core holes, lack of careful sampling techniques, and the open-hole nature of the test/percussion, drilling data from these programs were deemed unreliable for use in the resource calculation. The data was used in select geostatistical analyses (variography) and in the construction of mineralization/geologic models, where applicable.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 111

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

7.6.5 Bermingham Deposit

Historical core drilling at Bermingham is limited to 16 core drill holes dating from 1969 located in the resource estimation area. The holes were drilled at an average azimuth of 323° and were not surveyed downhole. The average hole length was approximately 80 m with several holes ranging up to 146 m. Drill recovery was generally poor, particularly in mineralized zones, and core assays were restricted to well-mineralized zones.

A small portion of the 874 shallow, open-hole, surface percussion drill holes completed historically in the Bermingham area were focused on the present resource area, first as vertical holes in a grid pattern on approximately 30 m centers, followed later by a definition drilling program of inclined holes along strike of the vein to define an open pit target.

Due to recovery issues for the core holes, lack of careful sampling techniques, and the open-hole nature of the percussion drilling, drilling data from these programs were deemed unreliable for use in the resource calculation. The data were used in the construction of mineralization/geologic models, where applicable.

7.7 Drill Hole Logging

Standard logging and sampling conventions are used to capture information from the diamond drill core. Between 2006 and 2010 core was logged in detail using paper forms with the resulting data entered into a commercial computerized logging program either by the logging geologist or a technician. Since that time, all core logging data has been directly digitally entered into a SQL-based database with data including comments captured in separate tables including:

 Lithology: rock type, including significant fault or mineralized vein-faults, and textural modifiers.

 Structure: type of structure and measurements relative to the core axis.

 Mineralization to identify type and intensity of oxidation, metamorphic, hydrothermal, or disseminated phases, and abundance of veining.

 Alteration.

 Stratigraphy: units consistent with the surface mapping.

 Geotechnical: percentage recovery and rock quality determination and fracture intensity.

 Additionally, more detailed geotechnical data has been recorded from the Flame and Moth and Bermingham drilling.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 112

Alexco systematically measured the core bulk density of mineralized material as well as basic rock types. Bulk density was measured using a balance and recording the weight of core pieces in air and water. The core weighed in water was not covered by wax or plastic film.

Pulp bulk density (PBD) measurements were obtained by pycnometry on select assay intervals of mineralized zones for Alexco drilling by ALS Laboratories (ALS) and AGAT Laboratories (AGAT).

7.8 QP Opinion

The Mining Plus geology QP notes that the drilling, logging, and drill core meet industry standards, and are sufficient to support Mineral Resource Estimation and makes the following comments:

 The most recent drilling campaign (between September 2022 and October 2023) incorporated drilling procedures inherited from Alexco, complemented by minor improvements introduced by Hecla. These practices have followed industry standards and are considered suitable for incorporation into resource estimation. However, the older drilling preceding Alexco typically has issues with core or chip quality, limiting their utility primarily to exploration purposes.

 The data spacing and distribution are sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for mineral resource estimation.

 It has been detected that the logs before 2010 present a different approach for the description of the lithological code of the structure, although this difference is not considered significant for interpretation purposes, it is suggested to review the logs before 2010 to have a consistent logging.

 A constant monitoring of the Pulp bulk density with the Paraffin method should be carried out to rule out relevant biases and must be included in the procedures.

 Improve the procedures of face sampling and improve the quality of the onsite assaying to support the use of face samples in the in long-term model grade estimation processes.

 QP does not know of any drilling, sampling, or recovery factors related that would materially impact the accuracy and reliability of results that are included in the database used for Mineral Resource Estimation.

8. Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security

The data supporting geological interpretations, mineral resource estimation, conclusions, and recommendations in this technical report primarily rely on core samples dating from 2006 to the present, which have been carried out by Alexco (2006-2021) and Hecla (2022-2023). In addition, Alexco conducted reverse circulation drilling, mainly in early exploration areas; however, none of the reverse circulation drilling data has been included in the resource estimate.

Sample preparation methods, analytical techniques, quality control, and security measures throughout the chain of custody were implemented by Alexco from 2006 to 2021. Hecla has since adopted these procedures with slight improvements.

Historical drilling data for Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham deposits are not considered reliable and, consequently, were not utilized in the Mineral Resource estimation.

Underground face sampling has been carried out in Onek, Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Bermingham, and Flame and Moth; however, in the resource estimation process, face samples have been excluded, except for Bellekeno, where they were considered in the estimation conducted by SRK Consulting Inc. (SRK) in 2013. To mitigate potential bias during resource estimation, factoring has been applied to those face samples. As of the present, no substantial changes have occurred in Bellekeno, and therefore, SRK’s resource model has not required any update.

8.1 Sampling and Preparation Procedures

8.1.1 Historic Drill Sampling

Available documentation describing the historical (pre-Alexco and Hecla) sampling procedures and methods is limited and has been outlined below.

A 1965 UKHM document outlined the sampling procedures for a newly purchased percussion drill. It was found that in most cases the frozen ground gave sufficient support for the drill hole without additional casing. In a few cases where the ground was not frozen, the casing was advanced with the drill bit.

Drill cuttings were collected using a locally designed cone-shaped deflector with a catch pan shaped to fit around the casing. During drilling operations, cuttings were blown upwards between the drill rod and the casing, where they hit the deflector and were caught by the catch pan. Drilling runs were 5 ft (1.5 m) in length and provided 10 lb to 15 lb of sample material.

At the end of each shift, several hundred grams were split from each sample in the geochemical laboratory; the remainder of the sample material was screened to -14 mesh. Constituents of the fine and coarse fractions were identified separately.

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

There is no information about quality control measures employed prior to sending samples to an analytical or testing laboratory. As part of the security measures taken for Alexco to ensure the validity and integrity of samples carried out by UKHM, different projects were carried out that are described below.

All accessible core drill hole logs were transcribed onto standardized spreadsheets as close to verbatim as possible. Original logs were scanned, and file names and numbers were recorded into the new spreadsheets. These initial spreadsheets were inspected by geologists for consistency. The next step was to “normalize” the original transcribed data to match the current nomenclature; data verification was ongoing. Collar information, as well as survey, assay, and recovery data, were then verified by a person other than the original data entry person. The final step involved the amalgamation of separate spreadsheets into one global database.

Bellekeno underwent three phases of core drilling: 1986, 1994–1996, and 2006–2013. Alexco’s access to mine workings in 2009 allowed the resurveying of the 1986 and 1994–1996 historical (UKHM) drill hole collars in UTM coordinates, thereby assuring all collar locations were recorded in a common datum.

In instances where 2009 underground drilling and historical drilling were twinned, the positioning of the 2009 composite locations was honored, as historical down-hole surveying was irregularly spaced or not done at all.

In instances where surface drilling and underground drilling had conflicting contact locations, 2009 underground drilling was honored. This was the case in the Southwest zone with surface drill hole K-07-0101. The vein intercept in this drill hole is 376 m downhole. Within 15 to 20 m on each side are two Alexco underground drill holes of 15 m length of similar grade and thickness. In this case, the grade from K-07-0101 was used in the estimation but the vein position was assumed to be defined by the adjacent underground drill holes.

Drilling programs under the supervision of UKHM were given careful scrutiny prior to being incorporated into the Alexco resource estimation. Historic data was evaluated and checked by processing paper drilling logs into electronic formats, resurveying underground drill hole collars, and twinning historical vein pierce points. Early programs were deemed reasonably complete and accurate for the purpose of resource and geologic modeling.

Two phases of underground core drilling occurred at the Bellekeno mine under UKHM management, 1986 and 1994-1996. During this time, most of the drilling operated off the local Treadwell grid system. For verification purposes, Alexco resurveyed the collar positions of the core and percussion drill holes in 2009 in the areas where the mine rehabilitation had been completed. The collar data was then verified against the UTM NAD 83 Zone 8 map projection coordinates. Only minor discrepancies were found in the underground percussion drilling. Although the collar positions were updated, these drill holes were not included in the resource evaluation.

As part of the due diligence for the 2009 updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) conducted by Wardrop (2009), the twinning of the core drill hole vein pierce points was conducted. Twinned intercepts

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 115

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

were commonly within 0.5 m to 1.5 m of the original pierce point. In most cases, the intercepts of both drill holes were commonly useable for interpretations. However, in instances where the two pierce points were significantly different, the 2009 underground drilling was given precedence. Surface drill holes were assumed to have more deviation because of the greater down-hole depth, and irregularly spaced or incomplete down-hole survey data.

Historical drilling data for Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham deposits are not deemed reliable and, therefore, were not considered for Mineral Resource estimation.

8.1.2 Historical Reverse Circulation Sampling

A document by Watts, Griffiths, and McQuat (WGM, 1994) outlined sampling procedures for the reverse circulation drilling carried out prior to the Hecla acquisition. Two samples were collected for each 5 ft (1.5 m) interval. One sample was sent to the laboratory while the other sample remained at the drill site for reference. The samples were collected in porous plastic bags and were dried prior to analysis. The document stresses cleanliness during the sampling procedure to avoid contamination.

8.1.3 Core Drill Sampling (2006 – 2023)

The sampling protocol adopted by Hecla during its ownership period from 2022 remained relatively unchanged from the surface and underground drill programs conducted by Alexco between 2006 and 2021.

Core logging and sampling were completed by Hecla staff, where a logging geologist marked the sample intervals and cutting orientation normal to veins on the core. After logging, the core was digitally photographed. Where possible, the surface core was sawn in half lengthwise using a diamond saw, whereas the broken core was manually split in half. One half of the core was returned to the core box for storage at the site while the other was placed in a thick-walled plastic bag for shipment.

At the Bellekeno project during operational periods some core was whole core sampled, and recently at Bermingham some underground resource definition drilling was whole core sampled to obtain an increased sample mass in the high-grade silver mineralization. No further on-site processing was undertaken.

Samples are a maximum of 2 m long within unmineralized major rock types but are broken at lithological contacts and significant mineralization changes. Intervals with no recovery due to core loss are recorded separately. Sample intervals within mineralized zones range from 0.10 m to 1.0 m, based on consistency of mineralization. In initial work at the prospects, drill holes were sampled top to bottom; however, once a considerable body of geochemical data was available and the nature and distribution of the

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 116

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

mineralization better understood, some intervals of barren material were not sampled particularly in close proximity to adjacent drill holes that had been sampled continuously.

Some minor modification in the sample shipment procedure has occurred over time, primarily in response to changing laboratory locations and the logistics surrounding available commercial transport. In all cases, approximately four to five individual samples are placed in polyfiber bags for shipment.

In 2006, samples were sent to Whitehorse, Yukon by Kluane Transport then by Manitoulin Transport to the ALS Chemex facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia for preparation and analysis. Beginning in 2007, each shipping bag was sealed with a numbered security tag, before being placed on pallets and shrink-wrapped for shipping.

In 2007/2008, samples were transported to the Canadian Freightways facility in Whitehorse, Yukon by Alexco personnel. Canadian Freightways then trucked the samples to the ALS Chemex facility in Terrace, British Columbia for preparation. Pulverized subsample splits were then sent to the ALS Chemex facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia for analysis.

In 2009, samples were transported to the Eco Tech Labs preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon by Alexco personnel. Pulverized subsample splits were then sent to the Eco Tech facility in Kamloops, British Columbia for analysis.

In 2010, samples were shipped via Manitoulin Transport to Whitehorse, Yukon where they were couriered to the preparation facilities of either AGAT or ALS Minerals in Whitehorse. The pulverized subsample splits were then sent to the AGAT facility in Mississauga, Ontario, or the ALS facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for analysis.

Between 2011 and 2013, samples were shipped via Manitoulin Transport to Whitehorse, Yukon where they were delivered directly to the preparation facilities of ALS Minerals in Whitehorse. The pulverized subsample splits were then sent under seal by the laboratory to the ALS facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for analysis.

From 2014 to 2021, samples have been shipped in sealed wooden boxes containing approximately 100 samples, directly by company representatives to the ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Whitehorse and the assay pulp is transported under seal by the laboratory to the North Vancouver analytical facility.

Since 2021 shipping of samples is conducted in batches of 20, inclusive of QA/QC samples. These samples are placed in pre-numbered rice bags, sealed using a cable tie, and their contents are recorded on a batch sample sheet. These samples are then transported to the ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Whitehorse and the assay pulp is transported under seal by the laboratory to the North Vancouver analytical facility.

8.1.4 Underground Sampling

Neither the historical underground face samples nor those conducted by Alexco and Hecla have been incorporated into the estimation process. This decision stems from the observed potential positive bias in the underground samples compared with core samples. Possible contributing factors include the utilization of a non-certified on-site laboratory or the physical properties of higher-grade zones, which may introduce oversampling. Only at Bellekeno were the underground samples included in the estimate, as this was subjected to a more thorough review by Alexco as part of the 2009 updated PEA. The estimated Mineral Resources conducted by SRK in 2013 applied factoring to the face samples to mitigate potential bias during resource estimation. To date, no substantial changes have occurred at Bellekeno, and therefore, SRK’s resource model has not required updating.

For Onek and Lucky Queen, these samples were utilized in constructing the geological model and variographic modeling. No historical chip data were available for the Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits.

There is limited information about the historical sampling procedures, and their respective quality control, as part of the validations carried out by Alexco and independent consultants in previous studies. Historic data verification procedures are outlined below.

The verification procedure consisted of cross-checking the assay values in the database to the values on the original scanned historic assay plan maps. The sample interval points, and respective silver assays were imported from the database and overlain on the original maps. All points were visually inspected to ensure that chip sample lines fell within the boundaries of the drift outlines. Then all assay intervals in the database were checked to ensure they matched with what was originally written on the maps.

Historical chip samples were commonly analyzed for silver, lead, and zinc only. Chip samples were generally taken as cuts across the vein and into the hanging wall and footwall rocks. An undated UKHM document outlines underground chip sample procedures as well. In addition to the above information, emphasis is put on clean faces to prevent sample contamination from previous blasting activities. Samples were to be taken within a 1.5 ft (0.5 m) wide area across the rock face. In addition to separate samples per rock type, this undated document requires separate samples for a change in structure. The sample location was to be measured from the nearest survey station; the resulting distance measurement was used to plot the samples and assay results on level plans. More detailed information was listed regarding the direction in which samples were to be taken for various kinds of underground openings.

The underground face samples by Alexco and Hecla were collected regularly, occurring at each heading advance with a frequency ranging from 1.5 m to 3 m, depending on the length of the mining advance. This involved using a hammer and chisel with the channel chip sampling method. The samples were collected between the hanging wall and footwall contacts of mineralized zones, with common lengths being 1.0 and 1.5 meters. Prior to mapping and sampling, all faces are washed and cleaned of loose material. Sample intervals are painted on the face and numbered consecutively from the left rib to the

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 118

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

right rib. Standard reference materials are added to the sample stream and duplicate assays are performed in regular intervals by the mine laboratory.

8.2 Laboratories Procedures

Details regarding the laboratory procedures for historical samples are unavailable. All descriptions in the section below pertain to samples conducted by Alexco and Hecla up to the current date.

Laboratory procedures have been consistent for the 2006–2021 Alexco programs and have been implemented by Hecla. Sample preparation consists of initial fine crushing of the sample to more than 70% passing 2 mm with the crusher cleaned with “barren material” after every sample. A nominal 250 g split of this material is then pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75 microns for analyses with the pulverizer cleaned with “barren material” after every sample. Duplicate samples are prepared at the preparation facility when noted by collecting a second 250 g split from the crushed material.

Samples are analyzed for gold by fire assay and atomic absorption spectrometry on 30 g subsamples and for a suite of 27 to 48 elements by four acid digestion and either inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) or induced coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) (on 0.5 g subsamples). Elements exceeding the concentration limits of ICP-AES or ICP-MS are re-assayed by single element four acid digestion and atomic emission spectroscopy. Silver results exceeding ICP-AES limits are re-assayed by fire assay and gravimetric finish on 30 g subsamples. Lead and zinc results exceeding concentration limits are analyzed by volumetric titration.

Crushed reject material and residue assay pulps are annually returned to the Elsa exploration facilities for storage.

The samples have been analyzed mainly by ALS Minerals (approximately 82% of total samples), ALS Minerals, Eco Tech, and AGAT are all accredited to ISO 17025 by the Standards Council of Canada for several specific test procedures, including fire assay for gold and silver with atomic absorption and gravimetric finish; multi-element inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy; and atomic absorption assays for silver, copper, lead, and zinc. ALS Minerals laboratories also participate in international proficiency tests, such as those managed by CANMET and Geostats.

ALS Minerals, Eco Tech, and AGAT operate as independent certified laboratories around the world or locally, there is no relationship between the laboratories and Hecla, or previous owners, and all procedures and analytical assays have been carried out independently and objectively.

8.3 Quality Assurance and Quality Control Procedure (QA/QC)

Alexco implemented quality control procedures for all Keno Hill Silver District drilling campaigns since 2006, and these protocols have been consistently upheld during the recent drilling campaigns conducted by Hecla between 2022 and 2023. Each 20-sample batch sent for assaying includes three control samples: a commercial standard reference material (SRM), a coarse blank, and a field duplicate. The location of control samples in the sample stream is defined by the logging geologist (standard reference material or SRM, blank, and duplicate). Control samples are inserted when the core is sawn or when the whole core is sampled. The quality control program developed by Alexco and Hecla is considered mature and overseen by appropriately qualified geologists. The data collected by Hecla on the Project was acquired using adequate quality control procedures that generally meet or exceed industry best practices for an exploration property at the resource delineation stage.

Throughout various drilling campaigns, the outcomes of quality controls have been monitored, and any associated issues have been thoroughly investigated to facilitate continuous improvement. These findings have been documented in a quality control database, along with graphical representations of quality control results for different periods.

Table 8‑1 summarizes the insertion rate of control samples per deposit for all samples in Keno Hill, and Table 8‑2 summarizes the insertion rate of control samples per year only for Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, and Onek.

8.3.1 Standard Reference Materials

All Standard Reference Material has been pulverized and inserted as a 50 g to 100 g sample. Throughout the drilling sampling carried out by Alexco, the process originally used one of 16 different standard reference materials purchased from WCM Sales Limited of Burnaby, British Columbia: nine polymetallic copper, lead, zinc, and silver reference materials (PB 111, PB 112, PB 113, PB 116, PB 129, PB 131, PB 137, PB141 and PB 145) and twelve silver reference materials (PM 1107, PM 1108, PM 1116, PM 1117, PM 1123, PM 1127, PM 1128, PM 1129, PM 1130, PM 1132, PM1133 and PM 1141) for inclusion in each 20-sample batch (Table 8‑3). Hecla has since added one additional polymetallic copper, lead, zinc, and silver reference material (MP-1b) (Table 8‑3).

In 2012, Alexco started using a series of certified standard reference materials sourced from the Bellekeno deposit: polymetallic standards (Table 8‑4), that were certified by Smee & Associates Consulting Ltd. (Bellekeno-C, Bellekeno-M, Bellekeno-S, Bellekeno-R and Bellekeno-W) that were initially tested as internal laboratory standards at the onsite Bellekeno assay laboratory along with CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. Standards (ME-4, ME-5). The Bellekeno-derived standards are now commercially available identified as the KHP series below (Table 8‑4) and continue to be used routinely with the range of WCM standards.

8.3.2 Coarse Blank samples

Since 2006, the assessment of coarse blanks has been implemented to gauge the potential contamination risk within the laboratory during the sample comminution process. The coarse blank is commercially purchased “landscape rock,” either dolomite or basalt with approximately 0.35 kg to 1.5 kg of this material inserted. Table 8‑5 provides a summary of the compiled coarse blank results for Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, and Onek. Additionally, Figure 8‑4 illustrates the compiled silver results organized by drill campaign and certificate.

To assess sample contamination, a criterion of 5 times the detection limit has been employed. Notably, there are various detection limits, particularly for lead and zinc, and a threshold of 10 ppm has been adopted for both, based on observations from the database. No significant contamination issues were detected for gold, silver, and lead; however, inconsistencies above 10% (failures) have been noted for zinc, with the majority falling below 0.05 %; consequently, zinc is not deemed a pertinent contamination concern.

8.3.3 Coarse Duplicates

The objective of the coarse duplicates is to estimate the precision during the comminution process. For precision control, an empty sample bag is inserted at the location of the duplicate, which is subsequently collected during sample preparation at the laboratory prep facility. The duplicate consists of a coarse reject split from the preceding sample.

Precision has been evaluated with the hyperbolic method, with a relative acceptance error of 20% for coarse duplicates. Table 8‑6 provides a summary of the compiled coarse duplicate results for Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, and Onek. Additionally, Figure 8‑5 illustrates the compiled silver results. There have been no observed issues with precision during the laboratory sample comminution stage.

8.3.1 Pulp Duplicates

Between 2006 and 2011 duplicate pulps were included in the QA/QC controls. The objective of the pulp duplicates is to estimate the precision during the pulverization process. Similar to the coarse duplicates, an empty sample bag was inserted at the location of the duplicate, the duplicate was formed through a split of the pulp from the preceding sample.

Precision has been evaluated with the hyperbolic method, with a relative acceptance error of 10% for pulp duplicates. Table 8‑7 provides a summary of the compiled pulp duplicate results for Bellekeno, Bermingham, Flame and Moth, Lucky Queen, and Onek. Additionally, Figure 8‑6 illustrates the compiled silver results. Inconsistencies beyond the accepted range (10%) exist; however, these have been primarily

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 127

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

attributed to over-limit values that have not undergone reanalysis; hence, no significant precision issues have been acknowledged.

8.3.2 Umpire Laboratory Duplicates

As part of the Keno Hill Mine due diligence in 2022, Hecla conducted a sample analysis using the external laboratory services of Bureau Veritas (BV) in Canada as a secondary laboratory. This involved an interlaboratory test, also referred to as an umpire laboratory, to independently validate the precision and accuracy of the chemical analyses conducted by the primary laboratory (ALS).

The analysis covered various drilling campaigns spanning the years 2008 to 2021, with a primary focus on the Bermingham area. Additionally, there were minor analyses conducted in the Flame and Moth, as well as Lucky Queen areas.

Table 8‑8 provides a summary of the umpire laboratory duplicate results. The comparison reveals no noteworthy distinctions between the primary and secondary laboratories, thereby affirming the results obtained by Alexco. It should be noted that the difference observed in the lead results is a consequence of a limited number of analyses.

8.4 Sample Shipment and Security

Some minor modification in the sample shipment procedure has occurred over time, primarily in response to changing laboratory locations and the logistics surrounding available commercial transport. In all cases, approximately four to five individual samples are placed in polyfiber bags for shipment.

In 2006, samples were sent to Whitehorse, Yukon by Kluane Transport then by Manitoulin Transport to the ALS Chemex facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia for preparation and analysis. Beginning in 2007, each shipping bag was sealed with a numbered security tag, before being placed on pallets and shrink-wrapped for shipping.

In 2007/2008, samples were transported to the Canadian Freightways facility in Whitehorse, Yukon by Alexco personnel. Canadian Freightways then trucked the samples to the ALS Chemex facility in Terrace,

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 129

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

British Columbia for preparation. Pulverized subsample splits were then sent to the ALS Chemex facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia for analysis.

In 2009, samples were transported to the Eco Tech Labs preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon by Alexco personnel. Pulverized subsample splits were then sent to the Eco Tech facility in Kamloops, British Columbia for analysis.

In 2010, samples were shipped via Manitoulin Transport to Whitehorse, Yukon where they were couriered to the preparation facilities of either AGAT or ALS Minerals in Whitehorse. The pulverized subsample splits were then sent to the AGAT facility in Mississauga, Ontario, or the ALS facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for analysis.

Between 2011 and 2013, samples were shipped via Manitoulin Transport to Whitehorse, Yukon where they were delivered directly to the preparation facilities of ALS Minerals in Whitehorse. The pulverized subsample splits were then sent under seal by the laboratory to the ALS facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for analysis.

Between 2014 and 2021, Alexco samples have been shipped in sealed wooden boxes containing approximately 100 samples. Since 2021, approximately 20 samples have been placed into a labeled rice bag and shipped directly to the ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Whitehorse with the assay pulp transported under seal by the laboratory to the North Vancouver analytical facility.

8.5 Specific Gravity Measurements

At Keno Hill, specific gravity measurements are systematically acquired for both mineralized and non-mineralized material through on-site procedures using a water immersion method. The process initially involves determining a correction factor. This is achieved by submerging an empty tray into the water, setting the balance to zero, and subsequently removing the tray from the water. The resulting scale reading, following complete drainage of water from the tray, serves as the designated correction factor. Following this, both dry and wet weights for each sample are recorded, accomplished by positioning a scale above a water-filled bucket. Prior to measurements, a correction factor is meticulously determined.

After every 20 samples, a reference standard of known specific gravity is inserted as a quality control standard. A selection of four standards is used in rotation.

8.6 QP Opinion

It is the opinion of the Mining Plus geology QP, that the Alexco and Hecla drilling and sampling procedures used at Keno Hill are reasonable and adequate for the purposes of estimation of Mineral Resources. The Mining Plus geology QP does not know of any drilling, sampling, or recovery factors related to the Alexco

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 130

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

and Hecla drilling that would materially impact the accuracy and reliability of results that are included in the database used for Mineral Resource estimation.

9. Data Verification

9.1 Site Visits

The Mining Plus geology QP conducted a site visit to the Keno Hill Mine. In total, the Mining Plus geology QP spent two and a half days at the site between October 23 and 28, 2023. Time on site was spent verifying the nature and extent of all exploratory work completed by Hecla. This included field-checking of key drill collar coordinates and visiting geology exposures at mineralized outcrops and underground development and production headings. The verification process also involved confirming mineralized and non-mineralized core intercepts, reviewing standard operating procedures, and undertaking a review of mineral resource estimation processes. Additionally, inspections of both surface and underground drill rigs were undertaken during this site visit. Hecla provided a representative with information related to these activities during the site visit.

9.2 Drilling Database

The Mining Plus geology QP reviewed Keno Hill’s drill hole database (source in Excel files) executed between 2006 and 2023 by Alexco and Hecla. The drilling database review focused on detecting potential errors in holes used in the Mineral Resource Estimate as follows:

 Search for duplicate collar ID.

 Search for duplicate sample numbers.

 Search for maximum grades.

 Search for maximum sample length.

 Review collar location against the surface (underground and superficial).

 Results of the QA/QC program.

 Cross-check the assay result with the lab certificate (approximately 10% of the samples).

Minor inconsistencies were detected in the database, these inconsistencies are not regarded as relevant for the estimation process, with the majority being minor. Inconsistencies were noted in the Onek database, and to a lesser extent Bellekeno and Lucky Queen when compared to their certificates. It has been concluded that the discrepancies between the database and the certificate may be due to other certificates in some cases or incorrect assignments that must be investigated as the reason for the difference is not conclusive. However, correlation comparisons show random variation and most of them have minimal differences. The inconsistencies for Bermingham, and Flame and Moth are less than 1%.

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

9.3 Verification of Analytical Quality Control

Mining Plus completed an independent review of the Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA/QC) measures and procedures that Hecla has in place to assess the performance of external assay analysis. A compilation of quality control records for drilling relevant to the Bellekeno, Flame and Moth, Bermingham, Lucky Queen, and Onek deposits was prepared based on drilling records provided by Hecla from its corporate database. The data file was sorted into the various types of quality control samples including Blanks, Reference Standards, and Duplicate Samples from both coarse residue and duplicate assays as provided by the laboratory.

Hecla uses a GeoSpark® Software (SQL-based) relational database to store all drilling-related records with drilling records selected as required from the database using appropriate queries and filters.

The company has access to a range of certified reference standards from commercial organizations with some of these prepared from in-situ Bellekeno mineralization which further improves their application in the testing of assay quality control.

Mining Plus considers that the number and percentage of quality control samples included with each sample batch is an appropriate number for analytical quality assessment.

The balance of additional quality control samples added to each batch of drilling samples is considered appropriate for testing different parts of the laboratory analysis process and confirms the veracity of element results.

The Mining Plus geology QP notes the following regarding the QA/QC results of the drilling campaign 2006- 2023:

 Overall, the results of the QA/QC program carried out between 2006-2023 are acceptable, where no significant contamination is observed, with acceptable precision and accuracy without evidence of bias, and are suitable for use in estimating resources.

 QA/QC failures are not adequately investigated and documented; instead, they undergo reanalysis, and if the failure persists, the sampling batch is reanalyzed. However, it is essential to investigate the origin of the error to implement timely corrective measures. Similarly, pulp duplication has been discontinued in the QA/QC process since 2011.

 Incorporating field duplicates, pulp duplicates, and umpire check samples is essential within the QA/QC protocol to assess the precision of samples at various stages of sampling and comminution.

 Fine blank controls must be included to evaluate contamination during the analysis stage.

9.3.1 Previous reviewers of QA/QC

From 2010 to 2021, Gilles Arseneau, Ph.D., P. Geo. of SRK Canada, acted as the QP in various previous studies, including the preparation of the 2021 Alexco Technical Report (NI 43-101 Technical Report on Updated Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimate of the Keno Hill Silver District). Throughout this period, Dr. Arseneau conducted diverse reviews of databases and quality control. The results of these reviews are summarized in Sections 9.3.1.1-9.3.1.3.

9.3.1.1 Lucky Queen

In the 2021 Alexco Technical Report, Gilles Arseneau, Ph.D., P. Geo. of SRK Canada, reviewed and verified Lucky Queen drill hole data and quality control assay data from 2006 to 2010. Dr. Arseneau considered the data reliable for resource estimation purposes. The analysis included aggregation of assay results for external quality control samples and duplicate assay pairs. Blank samples exhibited reasonably good performance, with no systematic failures noted for silver, lead, or zinc. However, 6% of gold assay blanks returned a grade higher than 0.01 g/t Au. Commercial standard reference samples and duplicate analyses also showed satisfactory results, supporting the reliability of the analytical data for mineral resource estimation.

9.3.1.2 Onek

In November 2010, June 2011, and August 2014, Dr. Arseneau conducted audits of analytical and quality control data for the Onek deposit. Dr. Arseneau conducted routine verifications to ensure the reliability of the electronic drillhole database, matching assay values against laboratory certificates. While minor issues were resolved, the overall review suggested that silver, gold, lead, and zinc grades could be reasonably reproduced, making the final assay results reliable for resource estimation. After the review, Dr. Arseneau was of the opinion that the Onek drilling database is sufficiently reliable for resource estimation.

9.3.1.3 Bermingham

In 2018, the QP for the 2021 Alexco Technical Report, Gilles Arseneau, Ph.D., P.Geo. of SRK Canada, completed an audit of the Alexco analytical and quality control data acquired during the sampling of the Bermingham deposit; this audit consisted of routine verifications to ascertain the reliability of the electronic drill hole database provided by Alexco. All assays in the current database were verified against independently sourced sample certificates from ALS Chemex, Echo-Tech, and AGAT laboratories. The silver, lead, zinc, and gold values in the assay table were found to match the laboratory certificates with a

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 134

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

few exceptions where samples had been re-assayed, and the database had not been updated with the re-assay certificate number. Alexco corrected this and the sample values were found to match the re-assay certificates. After the review, Dr. Arseneau was of the opinion that the drilling database was sufficiently reliable for resource estimation.

There are no details about the revision done for Flame and Moth and Bellekeno.

9.4 QP Opinion

After evaluating the QA/QC performance for the reporting period of 2022-2023 and examining the QA/QC database along with Dr. Arseneau’s previous conclusions in 2021, The Mining Plus geology QP is content with the findings. She is confident that the chemical assays of gold, silver, lead, or zinc do not present any notable issues of accuracy, precision, or contamination. Consequently, their incorporation in resource estimation is considered acceptable.

10. Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

10.1 Initial Characterization and Scoping Studies

The metallurgical response of Keno Hill mineralization is well understood through test work and operational experience. Previous test work on the varied mineralization at the property can be traced back prior to 1996 until 2017 as indicated from the multiple studies by Rescan (1996), Wardrop (2009), SRK (2013/2014), and RPA (2017). The Bellekeno deposit was widely investigated between 1996 and 2009 with the test results compiled to form the basis for the design and construction of Keno Hill District Mill in 2010. From 2011 to 2013, samples from deposits of Lucky Queen and Flame and Moth were tested to assess their flotation performance. Since 2018, additional metallurgical test work has been conducted on samples from these deposits and from the Bermingham mineralization area to support the mine plan. Table 10‑1 lists the test work assessed herein.

The Flame and Moth metallurgical sampling programs from Lightning Zone and Christal Zone are representative of their respective geological rock type domain. The samples used for composites were collected from exploration drilling programs. The samples for each of the composites were spatially distributed throughout each of the deposits and contained head grades consistent with typical ranges observed in the exploration programs.

The initial metallurgical composites for Bermingham and Lucky Queen were each prepared from samples from exploration drill holes throughout the deposit representing high-grade domains. These were used for testing completed prior to 2018, including both batch and locked cycle testing as reported in the PEA (RPA, 2017).

In 2018, two drill holes were completed in each of the two zones of Flame and Moth (four holes totaling 60 m of drilling) specifically to provide fresh unoxidized material for metallurgical testing on composites representative of each of the Lightning and Christal zones. These composites were then combined with Bermingham composites to test the locked cycle metallurgical response to the flowsheet. Two Bermingham composites were used: the master composite in 2017 from previous test work and a second new composite in 2018 with a lower head grade which would be more typical LOM metals content in order to evaluate expected conditions and evaluate fluctuations in plant feed. The Bermingham, Flame and Moth, and Lucky Queen metallurgical testing results to date have contained similar head grades and have behaved metallurgically similar within each respective deposit.

The Flame and Moth composites were prepared from samples collected from the drilled intervals shown in Figure 10‑1.

10.2 Metallurgical Laboratory Test-Work Program

Values for the initial Bond Rod Mill Work Index (RWi), Bond Ball Mill Work Index (BWi), and Bond Abrasion Index (Ai) were determined for Bellekeno samples during the 1996 and 2009 test programs. The measured RWi on the single Bellekeno composite sample was 8.7 kWh/t, while BWi values on four samples ranged from 7.9 kWh/t to 9.5 kWh/t. This indicated that the Bellekeno samples can be categorized as soft materials with low variability. The abrasion index (AI) was measured on a single Bellekeno sample with a value of 0.438 g, which was considered moderately abrasive.

In 2013 a benchmark survey on the grinding circuit of Keno Hill District Mill was conducted by Starkey & Associates (S&A) to assess the circuit operation to debottleneck the grinding circuit throughput limitation. Stream samples from the ball mill discharge, pump sump, and ball mill screen oversize and undersize were taken and tested to determine their RWi and BWi values. The RWi was found to be 12.4 kWh/t and the BWi was found to be 10.2 kWh/t. Both results are significantly higher than previous test results from 1996 to 2009. S&A then modeled the grinding circuit operation based on these results, which are summarized in Section 14 of this report.

The specific gravity values for the head samples were determined in 1996 by Inspectorate America Corporation (PRA), which was 3.57 for the Bellekeno sample and 2.81 for the SK sample. PRA completed an additional specific gravity test with the flotation concentrates samples, which was reported to be 6.49 for silver-lead concentrate and 3.95 for zinc concentrate. The 2018 measurement by SGS showed a range between 2.78 and 4.36 for Lightning Zone drill samples and 2.75 and 4.71 for Christal Zone drill samples.

10.3 Mineralogical Analysis

Mineralogical investigations were conducted in several test programs on different samples. A recent comparison of the results from the Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, and Bermingham deposits was made by the previous operator, Alexco, in 2018.

10.3.1 Mineralogy Analysis on Bellekeno Samples

Both SGS and PRA studied the mineralogy characteristics of the Bellekeno mineralization samples in the 2007 and 2009 test programs. In 2007, SGS completed a Quantitative Evaluation of Materials by Scanning Electron Microscopy (QEMSCAN™) analysis that indicated that galena and sphalerite were the principal lead and zinc minerals, respectively. Pyrite accounted for less than 4% of the mass, while trace sulfide minerals included chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, tetrahedrite, and arsenopyrite.

Both the SGS and PRA studies reported on the general coarse texture for the galena and sphalerite minerals, specifically, with the SGS data indicating liberation at a relatively coarse size. At an 80% passing (P80) grind size of 170 µm, 96% of the sphalerite and 95% of the galena particles analyzed were present as liberated phases.

PRA’s 2009 tests included a microscopic examination of the composite samples from the Bellekeno Southwest zone and the Bellekeno East zone. The results confirmed galena and sphalerite as the main economic minerals. The Southwest zone composite contained more galena, while the East zone contained predominantly sphalerite. Proustite-pyrargyrite was identified as the only specific silver mineral and was present as small inclusions in galena. Tennantite-tetrahedrite and sphalerite were identified as being additional silver carriers. Native gold was also found as fine inclusions of less than 5 µm in chalcopyrite from the Southwest zone composite sample. In addition, a part of the Bellekeno East zone sample showed the presence of secondary minerals including limonite, covellite, and a minor portion of colloform pyrite that can decompose to sulfide. The PRA study also confirmed the texture of the galena and sphalerite minerals was coarse in general.

10.3.2 Mineralogy Analysis on Flame and Moth and Lucky Queen Samples

In 2017 SGS conducted QEMSCAN examinations on the Flame and Moth and Lucky Queen samples. The mineral distributions are shown in Figure 10‑4 for both samples. The minerals of interest contained in the samples included galena at about 3.4% for the Flame and Moth sample and 5.3% for the Lucky Queen sample, sphalerite at 13.0% for the Flame and Moth sample and 1.9% for the Lucky Queen sample, while silver minerals were present at 0.19% for the Flame and Moth sample and 0.22% for the Lucky Queen sample. The major gangue minerals included quartz, Fe-Mn oxides, and pyrite/arsenopyrite for both

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 142

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

samples. The Flame and Moth sample contained a much higher pyrite content of 14.5% as compared with the Lucky Queen sample, which had a pyrite content of 1.6%. Similarly, arsenopyrite in the Flame and Moth sample was about 4.4%, which is higher than that of the Lucky Queen sample at a level of 0.2%. About 2.2% and 4.5% sericite/muscovite were identified in the Flame and Moth sample and Lucky Queen sample, respectively. Other gangue minerals such as K-feldspars, dolomite, and rutile were low in content, with each type less than 1%.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 10‑ – Mineral Abundance of Flame and Moth and Lucky Queen Samples (SGS, 2019).

The liberation and exposure information of galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and silver minerals are summarized in Table 10‑6. As compared with the Lucky Queen sample, the Flame and Moth sample showed a lower content of the free and liberated galena, as well as a smaller portion of the exposed rate. In addition, galena in the Flame and Moth sample had a greater association with sphalerite and complex mineralogy, which means more than two mineral types in the grain.

10.3.3 Mineralogy Analysis on Bermingham Samples

In 2018 SGS conducted a QEMSCAN analysis on the Bermingham Master Composite ground to 80% passing 250 µm and screened at 150 µm. Similar observations were made from both the fractions of +150 µm and -150 µm showing that lead was present predominantly as galena and zinc as sphalerite. Silver minerals were also identified from the analyses and examined as a group without specifying the individual silver mineral. The minerals of interest contained in the sample included 6.9% galena, 3.0% sphalerite, and 0.67% silver minerals. The major gangue minerals included 51.2% quartz, 22.3% Fe-Mn oxides, and 8.5% sericite/muscovite, with minor gangue minerals composed of 3.4% pyrite and 1.1% chlorite. Other gangue minerals such as K-feldspars, dolomite, and rutile were low in content with each type less than 1%. Figure 10‑5 shows the mineral abundance of the Bermingham sample tested.

The liberation and exposure information of galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and silver minerals are summarized in Table 10‑7. At a grind size of approximately 80% passing 250 μm, high values of free/liberated galena and sphalerite were observed with high exposure percentages, namely 86% and 95%, respectively, were fully liberated. About 82% of pyrite was found free or liberated and with a low association with galena and sphalerite. Fully exposed pyrite accounts for 75% of the total, with 95% of the pyrite is greater than 20% exposed. Free and liberated silver mineral grains accounted for 65% of the total, while 13% of the silver minerals were found associated with galena, and another 13% of silver minerals were present in complex mineral assemblages. Fully exposed silver mineral grains accounted for 64% of the total and 91% of the silver grains were greater than 20% exposed.

10.3.4 Mineralogy Analysis Comparison among Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, and Bermingham Samples

Alexco compared the mineralogical analyses of the samples collected from the Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, and Bermingham deposits for the purpose of explaining the inferior metallurgical performance observed on the Flame and Moth samples using QEMSCAN. The conclusions from the QEMSCAN comparison indicated that the Flame and Moth sample had a smaller portion of exposed galena and a greater association of sphalerite and pyrite complex mineralogy. This observation was in line with a much higher ratio of zinc to lead in the Flame and Moth sample as compared with the other deposit samples. The petrographic comparison further indicated that Flame and Moth samples presented a less coarse size of galena, which was more closely intergrown with sphalerite.

10.4 Metallurgical Results

10.4.1 Flotation Test Work Overview

Rougher, cleaner, and Locked Cycle Flotation Tests (LCT) were initially performed on samples representing the Bellekeno deposit to develop the original process flowsheet used in historical operations. To

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 146

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

recommission the mill, similar flotation tests following the same processing philosophy were carried out on individual and blended samples from Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, and Bermingham deposits. More extensive locked cycle testing was completed on these samples to provide additional data as the basis for the 2021 Prefeasibility Study (Alexco, 2021b). The locked cycle testing on the composites is outlined in Table 10‑8.

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 10‑ – Locked Cycle Testing Summary (2016-2019) (Alexco, 2021b).

LCT4 – 2018 | 30% Bermingham Master Composite - 70% Lightning Zone Composite Blend | 2018

10.4.2 Bellekeno Samples

The batch flotation test work program for Bellekeno samples was completed between 2007 and 2009 and included rougher flotation tests to assess the impacts of primary grind size, reagent schedule, and other test conditions, open cycle cleaner flotation tests to investigate the quality of the cleaner concentrates produced at various conditions, as well as bench-scale locked cycle flotation tests. The major conclusions are summarized as follows:

 Lead and zinc recoveries in the rougher flotation tests were not sensitive to the primary grind size in a P80 size range between 79 µm to 174 µm.

 Regarding the lead rougher concentrate prior to the cleaner flotation stages could improve the zinc rejection in the lead cleaner flotation stage. While for the zinc rougher concentrate regrind tests, only a slight or no improvement on the upgrading of the zinc rougher concentrate was observed.

The locked cycle flotation tests on Bellekeno samples are described in detail in the 2009 Preliminary Economic Assessment report by Wardrop (Wardrop, 2009). Of the five tests, the optimum results were obtained from the LCT1 test reported by PRA in 2008/2009, which was based on the common sequential lead and zinc flotation circuits with a regrinding stage for each circuit. The results are provided in Table 10‑9. The anticipated mill recoveries for Bellekeno are based on this test work and the actual results during the previous operation. All five locked cycle tests produced qualified lead and zinc concentrates. High recoveries of silver, lead, and zinc were obtained in the 1996 PRA test and 2008/2009 PRA -LCT1 and LCT 2 tests. SGS test work produced lower recoveries of silver and zinc that may be related to the regrind

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 147

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

size and the lack of zinc rougher concentrate regrind. The LCT 3 test program by PRA also produced a low silver recovery that can be attributed to the low silver head grade of the tested sample.

10.4.3 Lucky Queen Samples

The batch flotation tests on Lucky Queen samples were completed in 2013 and 2018. The 2013 tests were performed by the Inspectorate using an open circuit cleaner sequential flotation method with no regrinding stages. The test work results were the best of the four deposits. On average, the lead concentrate contained 68% Pb and 33,960 Ag at a silver recovery of 89% and lead recovery of 91%. The zinc recovery was 73% at a concentrate grade of 59% zinc. Table 10‑10 shows the cleaner flotation test results.

The 2018 flotation tests by SGS included five cleaner flotation tests with no regrinding stages. Good silver-lead cleaner concentrates were produced, which contained 15,893 g/t to 18,963 g/t Ag, 50.8% to 58.2% Pb. The zinc cleaner concentrate showed a lower grade, ranging from 30.6% to 41.5% Zn, which may be improved by regrinding the zinc rougher concentrates since the primary grind size was around 90 µm, which was much coarser as compared with other samples reground to 20 µm in cleaner tests. No locked cycle flotation tests have been performed on Lucky Queens samples.

10.4.4 Flame and Moth Samples and Blended Composites (Bermingham with Flame and Moth)

The initial batch flotation test on Flame and Moth samples was completed in 2013 by inspectorate Labs and then subsequently was optimized in 2018 in the SGS test work. The 2018 batch cleaner flotation test results are listed in Table 10‑11, together with the optimum batch cleaner flotation test results. These results suggest that Flame and Moth material could be sensitive to regrinding. This agrees with the mineralogy observations on Flame and Moth samples, which showed a smaller portion of exposed galena with a greater association of sphalerite and pyrite complex mineralogy.

The locked cycle flotation tests on Flame and Moth samples from each of the zones were performed by SGS between 2018 and 2019. SGS conducted five locked cycle flotation tests: one Christal Zone composite sample, one Lightning Zone composite sample, one Bermingham – Flame and Moth (Lightning Zone) blended sample, and two Bermingham – Flame and Moth blended samples (30% Bermingham to 70% Lightning or Christal Zone).

The basic flowsheet used in the locked cycle flotation tests is shown in Figure 10‑6. The ground feed samples had a particle size of P80 between 107 µm to 132 µm, which were first treated in a two-stage silver-lead rougher flotation. Then, the silver-lead rougher concentrate was reground to approximately 80% passing 23 µm to 31 µm, prior to the three-stage cleaner flotation circuit to produce a final

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 148

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

silver-lead cleaner concentrate. ZnSO4 was used in the lead circuit to depress sphalerite and 3418A was used as the lead collector. The silver-lead rougher tailings, first cleaner tailings, and second cleaner tailings from the lead circuit were combined and sent to the zinc circuit, which included a two-stage zinc rougher flotation, followed by a regrinding to approximately 80% passing 25 µm to 35 µm and a two-stage zinc cleaner flotation. CuSO4 was used to activate the previously depressed sphalerite and SIPX was used as the zinc circuit collector.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 10‑ – Locked Cycle Flotation Tests Flowsheet on Flame and Moth and Blended Samples (SGS, 2018b).

The test results are listed in Table 10‑12. All the five locked cycle tests generated high-grade silver-lead concentrates containing 10,853 g/t to 23,191 g/t Ag and 47.6% to 53.3% Pb. The corresponding recoveries ranged from 85.2% to 96.1% for silver and 77.8% to 92.7% for lead.

The blended samples (Flame and Moth plus Bermingham) produced better silver-lead concentrates with higher recoveries than composite samples for Flame and Moth alone. These tests on the blended mill feed are considered more representative for future mill operation as the expected mill production is based on blended material of Flame and Moth with Bermingham or Lucky Queen deposit.

The zinc concentrates produced from all the locked cycle tests ranged from 49.8% to 54.2% Zn with recoveries ranging from 73.6% to 88.5%. All samples produced similar zinc concentrate grades and recoveries. The blended feed samples (i.e., Bermingham plus Flame and Moth) samples produced similar-grade zinc concentrates and recoveries as compared with individual mine composite samples. Zinc

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 149

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

contents recovered to the silver-lead concentrates were between 5.9% to 12.8% grading at 4.8% to 9.1% Zn, while lead contents reported to zinc concentrates ranged from 1.4% to 4.6% grading at 0.9% to 1.9% Pb. Gold recovery to the lead concentrate was 36.2% to 41.6% with a grade from 2.2 g/t to 3.9 g/t Au.

10.4.5 Bermingham Samples

The batch flotation test work on Bermingham samples was completed between 2017 and 2019 by SGS on one master composite sample. The 2017 open cycle cleaner flotation tests are plotted in Figure 10‑7, which shows that although high-grade lead concentrate can be produced, the grade of zinc concentrates was found to be low.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 10‑ – Open Cycle Cleaner Flotation Test Results on Bermingham Master Composite Samples (SGS, 2018a).

In the 2019 optimization batch flotation tests, SGS included two regrinding stages on both lead and zinc rougher concentrates. As shown in Table 10‑13, satisfactory results were obtained - the lead concentrate was grading at over 32,000 g/t silver and 60% lead; the zinc concentrate was grading at 58.4% zinc.

Two locked cycle flotation tests were completed on the Bermingham Master Composite sample by SGS in 2017. The flowsheet used in the test is shown in Figure 10‑8. The feed samples were ground to particle size P80, approximately 150 µm, which was followed by a silver-lead rougher flotation. The silver-lead rougher concentrate reported to the three-stage cleaner flotation circuit to produce a final silver-lead cleaner concentrate. The lead second cleaner tailings and third cleaner tailings were returned to the previous circuit to further recover silver and lead. ZnSO 4 was used in the silver-lead circuit to depress sphalerite and 3418A was used as the lead collector. The silver-lead rougher tailings and first cleaner tailings fed the lead circuit composed of a zinc rougher flotation and a two-stage zinc cleaner flotation. CuSO 4 was used in the zinc circuit to activate the previously depressed sphalerite and SIPX was used as the zinc circuit collector.

The test results are listed in Table 10‑14 with LCT 1 test, high-grade silver-lead concentrates were generated containing 35,972 g/t Ag and 58.4% Pb at the corresponding recoveries of 95.9% for silver and 86.7% for lead. The zinc concentrate was graded at 48.3% Zn at a recovery of 60.0%. The LCT2 test was performed with a modified reagent scheme, including a higher dosage of 3418 A to increase lead recovery, more CuSO4, and a higher pH level to improve lead recovery. The resulted silver-lead concentrates contained 31,597 g/t Ag and 56.7% Pb with the corresponding recoveries of 97.5% for silver and 95.3% for lead. The zinc concentrates were graded as 52.8% Zn at a recovery of 63.6%. The flotation performance of lead and zinc were improved with the LCT2 test.

10.4.6 Miscellaneous Test Work

The 1996 and 2008/2009 test programs by PRA included a series of miscellaneous tests, namely settling tests, filtration tests, and an analysis of flotation tailings. A summary of the previous test work by PRA is presented in this report. Details can be found in the 2009 PEA report by Wardrop (Wardrop, 2009).

The latest test work was done in 2023 on the Bear zone in Bermingham deposit by Blue Coast flotation.

Settling tests were performed on samples of both Bellekeno lead and zinc concentrates and the tailings. Two flocculants, Percol 156 and Percol 351, were tested in the two test programs. An average unit thickener area of 0.02 m 2/tpd was identified for the mill design criteria. Vacuum filtration tests were performed in the 2008/2009 testing on samples of lead and zinc concentrates without any issues reported.

Whole rock assay and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis were performed by PRA in 2008 on bulk tailings samples to determine the chemical characteristics. The main components identified were silicon and iron. The tailings water was also assayed by the ICP scan. Acid-based accounting tests were performed on low and high-sulfide tailings samples to determine their acid-generating potential. The results indicated that the bulk tailings (low sulfide) were not likely acid-generating; however, the zinc cleaner scavenger tailings may pose some acid-generation potential.

10.5 Metallurgical Performance Prediction

From the mineralogy comparison, the deposits of Bellekeno, Bermingham, and Lucky Queen can be considered high-grade and coarse-grained in nature, while the deposit of Flame and Moth was found less coarse-grained with a greater association of sphalerite and pyrite complex. The blending of Flame and Moth deposit with other deposits could produce a good flotation response which has been illustrated in the locked cycle flotation tests on the blended samples. In addition, the optimized lead rougher recovery of the four individual deposits tends to range from 89% to 98%. This indicates that a well cleaner flotation performance can be expected. As a result, the overall flotation recovery for this Project can be estimated by using both the open circuit flotation test results and the locked cycle test data which can also provide confirmation or validity for the former data.

Specifically, metal recoveries of silver, lead, and zinc were projected based on the optimized test results obtained from the locked cycle and open cycle flotation test programs on the representative samples under the LOM mine plan reported herein, while test data from the potentially oxidized samples, the samples with higher head grades than the LOM’s estimates, or the samples collected from locations beyond the planned mine areas were not included in this projection. Metal recoveries from the batch open cleaner flotation tests were adjusted according to locked cycle results to reflect the middling recirculation and regrinding effects on overall metallurgical performances.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 156

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

The metal recoveries with varied head grades on the selected samples are plotted in Figure 10‑9. The red dots represent the data from the locked cycle tests, while the green dots represent the data from the batch open cleaner flotation tests. The trendline was developed from both the locked cycle test data and the batch open cleaner test data.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 10‑ – Metal Recoveries at Head Grades for Recovery Projection (Alexco, 2019a).

In general, a reasonable relationship can be observed between silver head grades and silver recoveries. For lead recovery to lead concentrates, a weak dependence on the feed grade was observed. This may be caused by various test conditions used by different laboratories. However, when considering the locked cycle test data only, which were drawn from SGS tests, the lead grade-recovery relationship appears to be better. With zinc recovery to zinc concentrates, the dependence on feed grade is also weak as part of zinc reporting to lead concentrates. Variability locked cycle tests are therefore recommended to verify the observed trends using blended samples according to the LOM production plan.

A regression analysis was used to model the metal recoveries with varied head grades Table 10‑15 summarizes the projected metal recoveries for all the deposits included in this Project. When the feed grades are beyond the ranges specified in the table, constant metal recovery is recommended in the projection. A Zn to Pb concentrate recovery formula was not generated; instead, a constant recovery

11. Mineral Resource Estimates

11.1 Summary

The Keno Hill Silver District 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate consists of five discrete estimates from the following areas: Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham.

The Mineral Resource Models for Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, and Onek were developed in earlier studies under the supervision or review of different Qualified Persons (QP’s). These deposits have maintained their original state, with no modifications made, as no new information or geological interpretation is prompting an update. The creation of these models and their contributions are outlined below.

 The Mineral Resource model for Bellekeno is the fourth Mineral Resource evaluation prepared for the Bellekeno deposit in accordance with SEC definitions. The Mineral Resource model and estimation work was prepared by Alexco personnel under the supervision of a third-party consulting geologist. It considers 424 drillholes drilled by Alexco during the 2006–2013 period along with chip sampling during the mining period of 2009–2013. It also includes historic drilling and chip samples. In 2021, resource model for the Bellekeno deposit was reviewed by Mr. Cliff Revering, P.Eng., of SRK and found to be completed to a standard acceptable to SRK and in accordance with NI 43-101.

 The Mineral Resource model for the Lucky Queen deposit was prepared by SRK and published in an independent technical report on September 8, 2011. The author of the report was Dr. Gilles Arseneau, Ph.D., P.Geo. The report is titled “Technical Report on the Lucky Queen Deposit, Lucky Queen Property, Keno Hill District, Yukon”.

 The Mineral Resource estimate for the Onek deposit was prepared by SRK and published in an independent technical report on September 8, 2011. The author of the report was Dr. Arseneau. The report is titled “Technical Report on the Onek Deposit, Onek Property, Keno Hill District, Yukon.” The Onek Mineral Resource has been updated in this report to include the results of additional drilling carried out in 2012 and 2013.

The Mining Plus geology QP conducted a review of the Mineral Resource models for the Lucky Queen and Onek deposits. The assessment confirmed that the models were completed to a standard deemed acceptable by Mining Plus and in accordance with SEC definitions. Additionally, the assessment brought to light opportunities for improvement in future updates.

Furthermore, the Mining Plus geology QP assessed the Bellekeno model, where several inconsistencies between the block model and raw data were detected and have not been sufficiently resolved. Primary inconsistencies arise from incomplete or unclear data within the original files, impeding proper traceability and exact replication. Additionally, certain domains exhibit an apparent overestimation of zinc, and the smallest domain displays an overestimation of silver. Density calculations are derived from

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 159

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

the grades of silver, lead and zinc, posing a potential for overestimation in some domains. The reasons behind this overestimation are unclear and necessitate further investigation.

Bellekeno’s resource contribution represents only 4% of global silver ounces. Any potential issues with this deposit are considered insignificant, leading to the downgrade from indicated to inferred resources. Unclassified blocks remain unclassified. Nevertheless, it is advised to undertake a new resource estimate for Bellekeno, taking into consideration the noted discrepancies.

All information in this section pertaining to Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, and Onek is extracted from previous studies.

In October 2023, Hecla developed the Mineral Resource model for the Flame and Moth deposit, followed by the completion of the Mineral Resource model for the Bermingham deposit in November 2023. the Mining Plus geology QP conducted a thorough examination of both models, confirming their suitability for reporting Mineral Resources in compliance with Mining Plus standards and SEC definitions.

The Mineral Resource statement for the Keno Hill Project presented in Table 11‑1 considered potentially mineable through optimized underground mining methods. All Mineral Resources declared in this report are reported inside an underground shapes optimization with an economic cut -off of CAD 185/tonne.

9. The Mineral Resource estimate for the Bellekeno deposit is based on an internal Mineral Resource estimate completed by Alexco Resource Corp. and externally audited by Mining Plus. This Mineral Resource estimate has been depleted to reflect all mine production from Bellekeno to the end of December 2021. Bellekeno deposit has an effective date of December 31, 2023.

11.2 Key Assumptions, Parameters, and Methods

11.2.1 Drillhole Database

11.2.1.1 Database for the Bellekeno Deposit

The Bellekeno database includes all samples taken during both historic and more recent sampling campaigns, up to and including samples collected in November 2013. This data includes surface and underground drilling, underground face, and wall (chip) samples, both recent and historical. A summary of the data in the database is listed in Table 11‑2 and samples from within the defined geological solids used for Mineral Resource Estimation are listed in Table 11‑3.

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 11‑ – Bellekeno Deposit Sample Database (Alexco, 2021b).

Sample Type | Count | Number of Samples | Length (m)

Total | 3,183 | 26,886 | 35,603

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 11‑ – Bellekeno Deposit Samples used for Mineral Resource Estimation (Alexco, 2021b).

Sample Type | Count | Number of Samples | Length (m)
Chip | 1,856 | 4,926 | 4,006

Core (Underground) | 310 | 1,914 | 1,352
Total | 2,204 | 7,057 | 5,543

The Mineral Resource database was inspected for inconsistencies in naming conventions, duplicate entries, lengths, and distance values. A few assays marked as below detection limit, zeros, and missing or non-sampled intervals were investigated and adjusted prior to further analysis. Drillhole assays below detection limits were allocated a value one-half the lower detection limit at 0.05 ppm. Non-sampled chip intervals were given a value of 0.01 ppm and flagged. All drillhole missing sample intervals were due to non-recovered core in poor ground conditions and were incorporated as “missing samples” in the compositing stage.

11.2.1.2 Database for the Lucky Queen Deposit

The Lucky Queen dataset used in Mineral Resource Estimation was exported from the SQL database by scripted routine to CSV files, which were imported into MineSight. The following drill hole files were generated: collar, survey, drill hole assay, chip sample assay, geology, and geotechnical.

The Lucky Queen database comprises descriptive information and assay values both from historical underground sampling and from exploration drilling carried out by Alexco from 2006 through 2010. The database was provided to SRK as an Excel format spreadsheet with a total of 558 records encompassing 47 core drill holes and 511 historical underground channel samples (Table 11‑4). From the drilling results, Alexco identified a total of 106 core drill hole intervals as primary vein intercepts and 26 intervals as secondary splay intercepts, based on a combination of geological logging and assay grades.

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 11‑ – Lucky Queen Deposit Sample Database (Alexco, 2021b).

Sample Type | Count | Ag (ppm) | Au (ppm) | Pb (ppm) | Zn (ppm) | Vein Width (m)
Historical Chip | 511 | 2,175 | NA | 50,661 | 39,216 | 1
Alexco Core Vein | 106 | 1,426 | 0 | 36,523 | 21,222 | 1

Alexco Core other | 3,012 | 4 | 0 | 322 | 378 | 2

The Mineral Resource database was imported into a GEMS format Access database and validated by checking for:

 Inconsistencies in naming conventions or analytical units.

 Duplicate entries.

 Overlapping intervals.

 Length or distance values less than or equal to zero.

 Blank or zero-value assay results.

 Out-of-sequence intervals.

 Intervals or distances greater than the reported drill hole length.

 Inappropriate collar locations.

 Missing interval and coordinate fields.

Two trivial terminal interval survey distances were noted and corrected; no other significant validation errors were noted in the supplied database. Assay intervals marked as below detection limit were assigned a nominal grade of 0.001 ppm prior to importing into GEMS.

11.2.1.3 Database for the Flame and Moth Deposit

The drilling source data used for the Flame and Moth Resource estimate comprised an ODBC database directly linked to the database (GeoSpark® Software) within the Flame and Moth Leapfrog project. The database was trimmed down with the use of queries within Leapfrog to use only diamond drillhole information for interval selection and estimation purposes. The final database contained 156 drillholes (Alexco and Hecla holes) totaling 38,565.48 m, of which 138 holes contained mineralized domain intervals. For the Mineral Resource update, 54 new holes recently drilled by Hecla (19 for 1,957.50 m) and Alexco (35 for 2,633.30 m) have been included.

The assay table contained 7,109 sample intervals comprising an aggregate length of 7,948.2 m. Of these, 1,777 samples with a combined length of 1,301.78 m are located within the interpreted mineralized domains.

In addition, there are 194 intervals within mineralized domains of core loss totaling 162.49 m that are labeled as “NR” for No Recovery, with no associated assay data. These intervals are mostly found in the Lightning Zone, with the majority occurring in the stringer mineralization (SM) domain. The oblique view presented below (Figure 11‑1) shows the distribution of NR samples in the Lightning Zone in relation to the mineralized domains and current mine as-builts. An oblique image showing the high density of NR intervals found around the as-builts is seen in Figure 11‑2.

Mining Plus reviewed the source data for the Flame and Moth mineral resource estimate and noted the distribution of “NR” intervals. While these were considered unlikely to present a material problem, it was recommended that these zones continue to be monitored in future, particularly where they occur within mineralized zones.

11.2.1.4 Database for the Onek Deposit

The Onek data was exported from the SQL database by scripted routine to CSV files, which were imported into MineSight. The following drill hole files were generated: collar, survey, drill hole assay, chip sample assay, geology, and geotechnical.

The Onek database comprises descriptive information and assay values both from historical underground sampling and from exploration drilling carried out by Alexco from 2007 through 2013. The database was provided to SRK as a Microsoft Excel format spreadsheet and contains a total of 1,567 records encompassing 92 core drill holes and 1,302 historical underground channel samples, 10 historical drill holes, 29 percussion holes and 134 test holes (Table 11‑5). From the drilling results, Alexco has identified

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 165

 Length or distance values less than or equal to zero.

 Blank or zero-value assay results.

A few minor inconsistencies were noted and corrected, and no other significant validation errors were noted in the supplied database. Assay intervals marked as below the detection limit were assigned a nominal grade of 0.001 ppm prior to importing into GEMS.

11.2.1.5 Database for the Bermingham Deposit

The database used for resource estimation in Leapfrog Edge software was an ODBC link directly to the GeoSpark® Software database. The database was trimmed down with the use of queries within Leapfrog

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 166

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

to use only DDH information for interval selection and estimation purposes. A total of 351 drill holes totalling 104,729.3 m were used in the estimation process, with 263 holes containing mineralized domain intervals. The assay table contained 12,680 samples comprising 12,178.26 m of length. Of these, 2,208 samples with a combined length of 1,432.49 m fell within the mineralized domains. For the Mineral Resource update, 148 new holes recently drilled by Hecla (73 holes for 12,702.93 metres) and Alexco (75 holes for 26,162.18 m) have been included.

The database contained a set of No Recovery (NR) samples, encompassing 125 intervals with a total length of 85.41 m within the mineralization interpretation. These specific intervals have been designated as ‘OMIT’ in Leapfrog, implying a lack of available data in the software. Consequently, the software operates under the assumption that no data was present, leading to an extrapolation of composited values without any adjustment for potential variations (based on the presumption that missing data is equivalent to available data). An illustrative example for drillhole K-21-0787 is depicted in Figure 11‑3.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 11‑ – Assay and Composite for Drillhole K-21-0787 in the Arctic Zone.

11.2.2 Interpretation And Modelling

11.2.2.1 Mineralization Domaining for the Bellekeno Deposit

Three-dimensional wireframe solids were constructed by Alexco to accurately represent the geometry of the Bellekeno deposit vein structures. The modeled structures exhibit mineralization primarily in the form of sulfides; a weathering surface has not been incorporated during the modeling or estimation process. These wireframes were further reviewed and validated by the QP before Mineral Resource estimation.

Wireframes were constructed for three portions of the Bellekeno deposit: the Southwest (SW) Vein, 99 Vein, and the East Vein and Splay (Figure 11‑4, Figure 11‑5). The wireframes were constructed using Mintec’s MineSight 3D software by Alexco in 2013. All points of construction on the veins are from Alexco’s core drilling and mapping of underground exposure during mining. Individual points were constructed on the hanging wall and footwall of each drill hole vein/structure intercept. These points

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 167

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

were chosen based on the fault/vein structure where, in most cases, the hanging wall and footwall contacts were clear, and the mineralization was contained within a well-defined structure.

11.2.2.2 Mineralization Domaining for the Lucky Queen Deposit

Three-dimensional wireframe solids were constructed by Alexco to accurately represent the geometry of the Lucky Queen deposit vein structures. The modeled structures exhibit mineralization primarily in the form of sulfides; a weathering surface has not been incorporated during the modeling or estimation process. These wireframes were further reviewed and validated by the QP 2011 before Mineral Resource Estimation.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 168

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

At Lucky Queen, the majority of high-grade, silver-bearing vein material is confined between relatively intact rock of the hanging wall and footwall and is manifested as vein mineral and highly deformed fault rock in varying proportions. High silver values are only rarely found outside the main structure as stringer zones or splays. The coincidence of high-grade mineralization within identifiable structural limits made it sensible to base the wireframe interpretation on structural and geological controls, and contacts were chosen accordingly. In addition to Alexco drill hole data, historical drill hole data and geological mapping conducted by UKHM were used to constrain the geometry of the main Lucky Queen structure and associated splay structures, where applicable.

Historical drift and stope mapping were considered to be accurate and representative. Field verification of the mapping could not be performed by geologists because the underground workings were inaccessible. However, historical maps of other mines in Keno Hill have been verified and found to be generally accurate in their representation of geology. Historical maps were scanned, geo-referenced, and imported into MineSight. The images were then draped onto drift solids at the appropriate elevation. This mapping was used to tag hanging wall and footwall contacts on the wireframe.

The main Lucky Queen mineralized body occupies a central part of the primary wireframe and the most important constraints delineating it are the lower-grade drill intercepts that occupy locations above, below, and to the northeast. Beyond these drill holes, the wireframe is cut off (approximately) along the deepest extents of the 200 and 300-level historic workings. Fault 3 and Fault 5 terminate the wireframe to the northeast and at shallow elevations, respectively. The earlier Lucky Queen workings included extensive stoping. As a result, it was decided to exclude the entire area containing the 50, 100, 200, and 300 level workings from the wireframe solid. Those areas of the 500 level workings that intersect the wireframes were also removed from the wireframe solid (Figure 11‑6).

11.2.2.3 Mineralization Domaining for the Flame and Moth Deposit

The mineralization wireframes for Flame and Moth were updated by Ben Chambers using Leapfrog Geo 2023.2 software. A combination of drill hole lithology intervals and underground geologic maps were utilized to accurately adjust wireframes with control points in mined areas based on this information. The Interval Selection tool was then used to select intervals from which the vein shapes were established. Updated mineralization wireframes reflect the more detailed geological information collected underground as geological mapping became more prevalent. Deeper insight into the geology and mineralization behavior has resulted in domains of continuous veining and wider zones of stringer mineralization. The modeled structures exhibit mineralization primarily in the form of sulfides. Therefore, a weathering surface has not been incorporated during the modeling or estimation process.

The QP reviewed the validated wireframes before resource estimation and concluded that the wireframes for the Flame and Moth deposit were fair representations of the mineralized veins and acceptable for resource estimation.

The Flame Vein strikes between 025° and 027° and dips between 62° and 66° to the southeast. The Flame and Moth Vein is offset along the Mill Fault and two wireframes have been constructed to reflect this geological feature. The Flame Vein in the hanging wall of the Mill Fault was termed the Lightning Zone while the portion in the footwall of the Mill Fault was termed the Christal Zone (Figure 11‑7).

During a technical review of the Flame and Moth wireframes, Mining Plus noted that some high-grade mineralization interpretations did not capture the higher-grade drilling assays. This was not seen to be a significant problem where these assays were subsequently captured with the stringer mineralization domain.

11.2.2.4 Mineralization Domaining for the Onek Deposit

Three-dimensional wireframe solids for the Onek deposit were constructed by Alexco to accurately represent the geometry of Onek vein structures. The previous QP reviewed and validated the wireframes before resource estimation. The QP concluded that the wireframes of the Onek deposit were fair representations of the mineralized veins and acceptable for resource estimation.

Wireframes for three separate veins were constructed for Onek: Vein 1, Vein 2, and Vein 1FW. Vein 1 is the dominant vein-fault structure at Onek, extending over 600 m in length and up to 260 m in depth (Figure 11‑8). The vein is interpreted to extend through all drilling done to date and to encompass the drifts, stopes, and raises of the historical workings. The vein-fault thickness varies from approximately 7.5 m to less than 1 m but, on the whole, is fairly thick and persistent. Drilling to the southwest intersected reduced grade and will act as a constraint to the strike extent of the mineralization. On the northeastern end of the deposit, underground mapping on the 400 level showed the vein narrowing and splitting into two, with the likely more dominant structure curving to the southeast and ending with sporadic mineralization in a possible cross fault.

Vein 2 forms an anastomosing structure in the hanging wall of Vein 1, with repeated convergence and divergence from the Vein 1 structure, as seen in the drill holes and underground level plan mapping. Vein 2 thickness was reduced and less consistent than Vein 1 and the mineralization had much less continuity. This was regarded as a secondary structure in the Onek deposit. Vein 2 also bends sharply to the east at the northeastern end of the deposit where intercepts in the drill holes are much more sporadic. Several small weakly mineralized vein intercepts were noted in the hanging wall of Vein 2, but the continuity of mineralization could not be established, and they are not modeled at this time (Figure 11‑9).

Two drill holes, K-08-0149 and K-10-0244, were drilled from separate collar locations but passed within 0.5 m of each other within the Vein 2 shape. As the location of Vein 2 in the hole K‑08‑0149 could not be reconciled with the Vein 2 location in hole K-10-0244 without significant deviation in the wireframe, and since the K-10-0244 intercept had better survey control and was less oblique to the vein surface, the K‑08‑0149 Vein 2 intercept was excluded from the wireframe.

A third vein, Vein 1FW, was identified in several drill holes at the southwestern end of the deposit, likely splaying sharply off Vein 1, and was modeled for resource estimation.

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 11‑ – Long Section of Onek Wireframes Looking South (SRK, 2014).

Several weakly mineralized vein fault intercepts were identified in drill holes in the footwall to Vein 1 in the central portion of the deposit, in the vicinity of the historical workings. The continuity of these intercepts could not be established with the information available, and these veins are regarded as small splays off the main Vein 1 structure. These intercepts were not modeled for resource purposes at this time.

Each of the vein shapes were wireframed independently, with a hanging wall surface and a footwall surface constructed using the drill hole intercepts, the shapes of the veins mapped in the levels and raises, and surface pit mapping. Where there was less information available, a contour tool was used to interpolate the vein shape and width every 10 m in elevation and to smooth the vein surface. The vein shapes were extended to approximately 50 m beyond known drilling and given a nominal vein thickness. Veins 2 and 1FW were clipped against the Vein 1 shape. Veins 1 and 1FW were also clipped against the topographic surface that was based on casing depth in nearby diamond drill holes and interpreted overburden depths in proximal historic overburden (rotary) holes.

Historical drift and stope mapping were considered to be accurate and representative. Field verification of the mapping could not be performed by geologists because of the current inaccessibility of the underground workings, however; historical maps of other mines in the Keno Hill district have been verified and found to be generally accurate in their representation of the geology. Historical maps were scanned, geo-referenced and imported into MineSight. The images were then draped onto drift solids at the appropriate elevation. This mapping was used to tag hanging wall and footwall contacts on the wireframe. Historical (UKHM) chip sample data were not used to define wireframe contacts or wireframe width.

11.2.2.5 Mineralization Domaining for the Bermingham Deposit

The 4 main vein systems within the Bermingham deposit are known as the Bermingham Main Vein, Bear Vein, Footwall Vein and West Dipper Veins. Three of these vein systems (i.e., Bermingham Main, Bear and Footwall Veins) have a strike orientation of approximately 40° to the northeast and dip to the southeast at approximately 55° to 75°. The West Dipper Veins have a strike orientation between 20° to 40° to the northeast and dip approximately 57° to the northwest. The veins are segregated (and offset) by cross-cutting fault structures into five distinct mineralized zones known as the Etta, Arctic, Bear and Northeast (NE) and Deep Northeast (DNE) zones (Figure 11‑10 to Figure 11‑12).

The potentially economic mineralization occurs within structural corridors characterized by a damaged zone surrounding the mineralization. The overall structural corridors were initially interpreted by Alexco

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 173

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

using geology and an approximate silver grade threshold of 100 g/t; the interpretation of mineralized vein domains within the structural corridors was based on the presence of discrete and continuous sulfide veins.

The mineralization wireframes for the Bermingham deposit were created using a combination of underground geologic maps and intervals selected from drillholes. Detailed hanging wall and footwall points were placed using geological maps draped within Leapfrog Geo for the Bear Zone. This interpretation was extrapolated to the surrounding drillholes. Arctic, Etta, and NE/DNE zones wireframes were created using the drillhole interval selection tool within Leapfrog Geo. Improvements to the modelling included splitting veins into multiple domains, comprised of vein mineralization and stringer mineralization. The Arctic Zone consists of six distinct domains, with Bear incorporating 13 wireframes, DNE featuring six, Etta comprising four, and NE containing two vein wireframes. This was done to reflect the high variability of mineralogy within the vein fault structures.

The QP reviewed the wireframes relative to the drill hole data supplied by Hecla and concluded the interpretation of the mineralized veins was a reasonable representation of the mineralization system and were of sufficient quality to use for Mineral Resource Estimation.

11.2.3 Bulk Density Data

11.2.3.1 Bulk Density for the Bellekeno Deposit

Bulk density samples were collected during assay analysis for 1,450 of the core drillhole samples that were coded within the wireframe veins. Pulp bulk density measurements were made by pycnometer at ALS Chemex in Vancouver. An ‘All Metal %’ value was calculated for each of the silver, lead and zinc values corresponding to these:

All Metal %=[Agppm+Pbppm+Znppm10,000]

The All Metal % result for each of the samples was then plotted against the density values (Figure 11‑13) to determine the polynomial regression formula:

Density=0.0002(All Metal%)2+0.0263All Metal%+2.9812

Of the comparisons plotted, six were capped at density = 7.0, three were removed during initial sample checks, and two were removed as outliers (Table 11‑6).

Count | Bulk Density Measured on Core

The QP acknowledges that pulp measurements will typically result in slightly higher density values of approximately 3% – 5% when compared to measurements taken on core samples as demonstrated on other deposits within the Keno Hill project area. Additional core bulk density measurements should be collected for the Bellekeno deposit to assess the relationship between pulp and core density measurements specific to the Bellekeno deposit. The potential discrepancy in density estimation related to the use of pulp measurements is not considered to be material.

11.2.3.2 Bulk Density for the Lucky Queen Deposit

The bulk density data for Lucky Queen included a total of 191 bulk density measurements (Table 11‑7) on core samples. Bulk density was measured by Alexco using a laboratory scale and recording the mass of core pieces in air and in water. The core was not covered by wax or plastic film prior to immersion.

Regression analysis of the bulk density measurements shows a moderately strong correlation between the lead assay results and the reported bulk density, with a correlation coefficient of 0.62 (Figure 11‑14). Therefore, a linear correlation was used to assign a bulk density value to each block based on the following relationship:

Bulk density=Pb ppmx 0.00006+2.617

The Flame and Moth dataset contained a total of 1,018 bulk density measurements on core samples and 4,189 pulp density measurements. In total, 380 core bulk density and 1,119 pulp density samples existed in the mineralized domains (Table 11‑8).

Bulk density was measured on core samples by Hecla using a laboratory scale and recording the mass of core pieces in air and water. Core was not covered by plastic film or wax prior to immersion. Pulp bulk density estimates were conducted by pycnometry at ALS in North Vancouver. A linear regression between core and pulp bulk density measurements has been used to adjust the pulp density values by a factor of 0.957, as shown in Figure 11‑15.

For estimates of block SG values, a combination of core bulk density and adjusted pulp density values was used.

While Mining Plus supported the current regime for applying bulk density values to the block model, it recommended the application of the predicted bulk density using Pb and Zn assays followed by assigning an average density if required. This process sequence may support improved local variation in the model. It was also suggested that additional bulk density determinations be conducted in mining areas to provide further confirmation.

11.2.3.4 Bulk Density for the Onek Deposit

The data supplied by Alexco for Onek included a total of 626 bulk density measurements on core samples and 1,549 pulp density measurements. Of the density measurement from core, 182 were from the mineralized veins and of the 1,549 pulp density measurements, 521 were from inside the mineralized veins (Table 11‑9).

Bulk density was measured on core samples by Alexco using a laboratory scale and recording the mass of drill hole core pieces in air and water. The drill hole core was not covered by wax or plastic film prior to immersion. Pulp bulk density measurements were measured by pycnometer at ALS Chemex in Vancouver.

A linear regression of the core versus pulp bulk density measurements for samples was calculated, where:

Core Bulk Density=0.8532*Pulp Bulk Density+0.408

The QP evaluated the bulk density data to investigate any relationship between SG and metal content. Figure 11‑16 shows the correlation between the bulk density of samples collected from the Onek Veins plotted against lead, zinc, and iron content. The figure indicates a strong positive correlation between bulk density and metal content. For this reason, SRK decided to weight the composites against density as well as length for the resource estimation.

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 11‑ – Correlation Between Bulk Density and Metal Content for Onek Veins (RPA, 2017).

There are 633 assay intervals within the veins at Onek containing 703 bulk density measurements. Of the 633 assay intervals, 91 intervals have no density measurements leaving 542 intervals with density measurements and 161 of these intervals contain bulk density measurements from both core and pulp.

For the estimation of bulk density into the block model the QP used core measurements if both core and pulp measurements were present, pulp measurements where core measurements were missing, and calculated bulk density based on the metal content where both core and pulp measurements were absent.

The QP acknowledges that pulp measurements are slightly higher than core density measurements where both sample types are present and that using pulp measurement without correction could lead to a slight (3% to 5%) over estimation of the bulk density (Figure 11‑17). However, the QP is of the opinion that the difference is minimal and not material.

The Bermingham dataset contains a total of 448 bulk density measurements on core samples and 5,441 pulp density measurements. Of these, 86 bulk density and 1,196 pulp density samples lie within the mineralized domains. Density measurements by zone are summarized in Table 11‑10 below.

Bulk density was measured on core samples by Hecla using a laboratory scale and recording the mass of core pieces in air and in water. Core was not covered by plastic film or wax prior to immersion. Pulp bulk density measurements were measured by pycnometry at ALS in North Vancouver. A two-step procedure was developed to infill the missing density values. First an average value by lithology was assigned to those samples missing density measurement. Then a regression formula that considered the Pb% + Zn% was used to calculate a density value that would overwrite these average values. The formula used is as follows:

Predicted Core Density=0.0372*Pb%+Zn%+3.0036*0.9852

All non-vein blocks were coded with background SG values depending on lithology.

Alexco identified a total of 7,057 sample intervals as vein intercepts. Using Hexagon MinePlan Drillhole Manager software, samples were composited to 1.5 m lengths within the defined vein intervals. A histogram of sample lengths for the mineralized zones can be seen in Figure 11‑18.

A total of 3,815 composites were derived for the Bellekeno deposit: 2,334 for SW Vein, 1,214 for 99 Vein, and 267 for East Vein. Any composite lengths that were less than 0.75 m were attached to the previous composite length. One percent of total composited lengths remained below 0.35 m and were removed.

Alexco identified a total of 106 core drill hole assay intervals as primary vein intercepts and 26 intervals as secondary splay intercepts. These assay intervals were imported into GEMS, and assays were then composited to one-meter length-weighted intervals within the defined vein wireframes. Terminal composites with a length of less than 50 cm were merged with the preceding composite in order to avoid a short sample bias during estimation.

In the Flame and Moth estimate, raw assays were flagged using the interpreted wireframes and allocated ZONE and VEIN alphanumeric fields. A 1.0 m sample length was selected as the appropriate composite length based on the analysis of sample length versus grade as shown in Figure 11‑19. Assays were

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 187

composited in 1 m intervals within the mineralized zones and any residual composite length shorter than 0.5 m was distributed equally amongst composites within that domain based on the original sampling lengths. This process resulted in all of the original intervals being composited for use in the estimate and was considered the best method for resource estimation.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 11‑ – Flame and Moth Compositing Summary – Length.

The NR samples have been set to be omitted for the purposes of the estimate. This process is the Leapfrog software equivalent of the intervals being set to Null values, and for subsequent processes being assumed that they are the statistical equivalent(s) of the nearest actual samples. While this assumes there are sufficient real values adjacent to the omitted samples, this is standard practice for the purposes of statistical analysis and estimation.

Grade capping analysis was conducted on the domain-coded composited assay data to limit the influence of extreme assay values during estimation. The assay composites were examined using histograms and cumulative frequency plots for each commodity in each vein. A summary table of the selected capping thresholds and corresponding impacts on average grade and metal loss is provided in Table 11‑11. This capping threshold value was selected to minimize changes in the sample distribution. Composites were capped prior to estimation.

It should be noted that the East Main and East Splay veins were assessed as one data population due to the limited number of data in both veins.

11.2.5.2 Outlier Analysis and Capping for the Lucky Queen Deposit

Grade capping analysis was conducted on the domain-coded and composited data to limit the influence of extreme assay values during estimation. The combined composite sample population for the main Lucky Queen vein and splay was examined using histograms, probability graphs, and capping plots. Capping threshold values were selected to minimize changes in the sample distribution, and sample values were capped to these values prior to compositing and estimation (Table 11‑12). For lead, the capping threshold was set to the percentile used for grade capping of silver to maintain the observed correlation between these two elements.

11.2.5.3 Outlier Analysis and Capping for the Flame and Moth Deposit

Within the assay population, outliers were evaluated by Hecla and capping levels were established for some veins which revealed some skewed behavior between the global mean and local estimates relative to a Nearest Neighbor (NN) derived estimate. In response to this, the traditional capping of samples was

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

dismissed in favor of a distance-based clamping (value clipping in Leapfrog) of Ag values during estimates. This method was only applied to elevated silver assays and the capping was not used for estimation of other metals.

Applied distances as a percentage of the search pass and grade thresholds are outlined in Table 11‑13.

Mining Plus noted that the Flame and Moth deposit is known to include elevated grade values and additional care is advised when applying any cuts to the population to avoid substantially reducing the contained metal content. A more appropriate method may be to apply a top cut, in addition to a capping threshold.

Mining Plus considered that to avoid severely cutting the amount if metal, it recommended a combination of the cut at 3,000 g/t and a cap at 1,525 with a range determined by either geological mapping or an indicative range calculated by the variograms first (short range) structure.

11.2.5.4 Outlier Analysis and Capping for the Onek Deposit

Before compositing, grade capping analysis was conducted on the domain-coded sample assay data to limit the influence of extreme assay values during estimation. The assays from Vein 1 and Vein 1FW and, separately, the assays from Vein 2 were examined using histograms, and cumulative frequency plots. Capping threshold values were selected to minimize changes in the sample distribution, and sample values were capped to these values prior to compositing and estimation (Table 11‑14).

11.2.6 Statistical Analysis and Variography

11.2.6.1 Statistical Analysis and Variography for the Bellekeno Deposit

Examination of the drill hole and chip assay sample data determined that there was a bias in the chip sample dataset as seen in Figure 11‑22. To correct for this bias, a weight of 0.7 was applied to all chip data, while drillhole data remained at 1.0. Summary statistics for the final composite data set used for Mineral Resource estimation are provided in Table 11‑19.

11.2.6.2 Statistical Analysis and Variography for the Lucky Queen Deposit

Examination of the distribution of drill hole and chip assay sample populations suggests that drill hole assay data differ significantly from the chip assay data (Figure 11‑29). The chip sample data were, therefore, used for continuity analysis, but were not used for Mineral Resource estimation.

A total of 66 composites were derived for the Lucky Queen Vein, and 15 composites for the secondary splay. An additional five composites averaging 1,591 g/t Ag have been identified by Alexco but were not assigned to the primary Lucky Queen Vein or the secondary splay.

Three-dimensional continuity analysis was conducted on the composite data and underground chip sample data for the Lucky Queen Vein. Downhole and directional un-transformed and normal-scores transformed and normalized experimental semi-variograms were examined for silver, with the horizontal and across-strike directions aligned with the modelled vein orientation (Table 11‑22).

Rotation was defined by the GEMS ZYZ convention within the rotated block model coordinate space. Due to the spatial distribution of the data, only a strike experimental semi-variogram could be satisfactorily modelled, and the range of the resulting normal-scores experimental semi-variogram was used to define sample selection requirements and classification criteria.

11.2.6.3 Statistical Analysis and Variography for the Flame and Moth Deposit

After detailed statistical interrogation of the database indicating possible grade bias and due to potential overestimation when utilizing chip samples in the MRE, a conservative approach was adopted where all chip samples were excluded from the grade estimation pending further review.

Variograms were created using 1 m composites of the drilling data to determine search distance and directions for the vein domains in Christal and Lightning Zones. The high variability of the stringer mineralization made the construction of variograms for those domains difficult. For mineralized stringer zones, indicator shells were created at different threshold values, and the dimensions of these shells were used to influence search range and max value clamping range for the stringer estimators. Block grades

During its review, Mining Plus noted that Hecla elected to exclude face sample data from the estimate due to potential bias in the population. Communication with site personnel did not fully define the nature of the bias however possible reasons included the use of a non-certified on-site laboratory for assay determination, or the physical properties of the higher-grade zones resulting in potential oversampling.

While Mining Plus accepts that face samples have been excluded from the MRE, it recommends that a review be conducted into the sampling and assaying processes and to outline the source of any potential bias. Face samples may provide reliable data at uniform boundaries and at set locations and regular patterns within the mining development. This population may provide important statistical information on close spaced sample behavior and determine local grade variability and continuity.

11.2.6.4 Statistical Analysis and Variography for the Onek Deposit

Examination of the distribution of the drill hole and chip assay sample populations suggests that the drill hole assay data differs significantly from the chip assay data. Therefore, the chip sample data were not used for Mineral Resource estimation.

Summary statistics were compiled for the composite data for the Onek veins (Table 11‑24). A total of 351 composites were derived for Vein 1, 16 composites for Vein 1FW and 147 composites for Vein 2. Any composites lengths less than 0.5 m in length were linked to the previous composite to ensure equal weighting of all composites and to verify that all composites were between 0.5 m and 1.5 m in length. Correlation analysis between elements indicates a strong correlation between Ag and Pb, with a correlation coefficient of 0.83.

Experimental correlograms and correlogram models were generated for silver, lead, zinc, and gold from combined composite grade data for Vein 1 and Vein 1FW and from composite grade data for Vein 2. The nugget effect was established from downhole correlograms. Directional and downhole correlograms were examined for silver, lead, zinc, and gold. Apart from zinc, modeled directions of spatial continuity were aligned with strike and dip directions of modeled vein orientations. For zinc, the major direction of continuity was modelled as a shallow dipping south-west trending structure. Nugget effect and across-structure continuity was established from downhole correlograms. Rotation was defined by the GEMS ZYZ convention within the rotated block model coordinate space. The continuity ellipsoids for silver, lead, zinc, and gold were displayed as search ellipsoids in GEMS to validate the ellipsoid orientations. The correlogram models used for grade estimation within Vein1 and Vein 1FW are shown in Figure 11‑30 and Figure 11‑31 and Vein 2 (Figure 11‑32) and are summarized in Table 11‑25.

11.2.6.5 Statistical Analysis and Variography for the Bermingham Deposit

Variograms were created using 1m composites of the drill data to determine search directions and initial search ranges for each domain. Variograms were created for the primary vein systems: Bear, Bermingham Main and Footwall for Ag, Au, Pb, Zn. Stringer mineralization zones utilized the values from the dominant vein mineralization associated with those domains, as sample counts were low. Variograms for the West Dipper system could not be generated due to limited data and search directions for West Dipper were based on the orientations of the domains. Table 11‑26 to Table 11‑29 below summarize the composite statistics for Arctic, Bear, Etta and North East Zones.

11.2.7 Block Model and Grade Estimation

11.2.7.1 Block model and Grade Estimation for the Bellekeno Deposit

A rotated block model was constructed to cover the entire extent of the mineralized veins. The block model included separate sub models for silver, lead, and zinc grade estimates, as well as bulk density, classification criteria, validation estimates, and a calculated block value. A sub-block model was used to calculate volume and tonnage values based on the vein wireframes, classification criteria, and mined out shapes. The geometrical parameters of the block model are summarized in Table 11‑30.

Grades were interpolated into blocks using an Ordinary Kriging estimation method. Search ellipses were set up to parallel the strike and dip of the veins. For silver, lead, and zinc, a two-pass series of expanding search ellipsoids were used for sample selection and estimation.

Weighted capped composite data used for the estimation was restricted to samples located in the respective veins. Additional zinc threshold search restrictions were applied to all three vein zones. Individual block grades were used to calculate an NSR block model. Estimation criteria for each vein zone are summarized in Table 11‑31.

An ID 2 was used for the estimation of block grades. A two-pass series of expanding search ellipsoids with varying minimum sample requirements was used for sample selection and estimation, with the primary and secondary axes of the search ellipsoid defined by the silver semi-variogram range. Composite data used during estimation were restricted to samples located in their respective domain. Individual composite grades were then used to calculate a block model. For the second pass, estimation results were also iteratively queried to ensure that all potential Mineral Resources within the defined domains were estimated.

During the first pass, four to 12 composites from two or more drill holes within a search ellipsoid corresponding to 50% of the semi-variogram range were required for the estimation. All blocks estimated during the first pass were classified as Indicated (Table 11‑33).

During the second pass, the search ellipse was expanded to ensure that all blocks within the defined vein and splay models were estimated. Between four to 12 composites from one or more drill holes were used for estimation. All blocks estimated during the second pass were classified as Inferred. All splay resources were also classified as Inferred due to the small number of total samples for this domain.

11.2.7.3 Block Model and Grade Estimation for the Flame and Moth Deposit

A rotated block model was constructed to include the extent of the mineralized veins as defined by Hecla, and included estimations for silver, lead, gold, zinc and specific gravity. Block model dimensions and parameters are found below in Table 11‑34. A series of calculations have been applied for the conversion of grams per tonne to ounce per ton or percent. This was done after the estimation with an additional set of calculations to determine the NSR value for each block.

The resource estimation methodology consisted of assays being composited to 1 m intervals with all composites <0.5 m being distributed equally among the other composites in the domain. Ag, Pb, Au and Zn were estimated using ID 2. Outlier composite grades were utilized with distance threshold clamping in the estimates where necessary to limit their influence. Where used, the distance for clamping was 25% of the total search range for pass 1. Specific gravity data (combination of core bulk density and adjusted pulp density values) was estimated by ID 2 and any unestimated blocks were assigned an average specific gravity of 3.52 for the mineralization zones, and 2.74 in the waste model outside the mineralized zones.

The selection parameters, search radii, and directions of search axes for Christal and Lightning was determined by variogram models, indicator shells, and visual inspection of the mineralized domain and associated data. Minimum and maximum samples, number of samples per drillhole, clamping values and distance thresholds were finalized by conducting many test resource estimates for each domain and reviewing global means and local estimates compared to composite grades.

In the Lightning and Christal Zones, the Ag, Au, Pb, Zn, and Cu metal grade estimation involved two passes. Pass two accounted for twice the search distance compared to the first pass. A percentage of the search pass distance was selected to restrict the search radius of the high-grade assays (Table 11‑35 and Table 11‑36).

Mining Plus noted that Hecla applied similar ranges and min/max sample numbers to many of the vein estimates while the Christal and Lightning Zones have discrete rotations and ranges. The 2015 estimate and investigation by Mining Plus indicated that the range was shorter than used for the current 2023 estimate. The implementation of a large search range means that estimates quickly reach the maximum number of samples. It was noted that the search pass was not recorded in the model fields and the ratio of estimates from pass 1 and pass 2 could not be confirmed.

Mining Plus recommends the use of 3 search passes during estimation where each pass is typically set at the range of half, one and twice the variogram range accompanied by a decreasing number of samples for each subsequent search pass. This process control supports the use of increased data in the well-drilled sections of the mineralization while stepping out to less informed areas.

11.2.7.4 Block Model and Grade Estimation for the Onek Deposit

A rotated block model was constructed to cover the entire extent of the mineralized veins as defined by Alexco. The block model includes separate sub-models for silver, lead, zinc, and gold grade estimates, as well as estimated specific gravity, classification criteria, validation estimates and a calculated block dollar value. A block percentage model was used to accurately determine volume and tonnage values based on the supplied Alexco vein wireframes and the percentage contained within the underground workings removed from the vein percentage to account for the mined-out volume. The geometrical parameters of the block model are summarized in Table 11‑37.

Ordinary Kriging of capped composite values was used for the estimation of block grades. Because of the strong correlation between density and contained metal, all grades were weighted against density and a grade times density model was prepared for silver, lead, zinc, and gold. Interpolation was carried out in two passes with expanding search ellipsoids with the primary and secondary axes of the search ellipsoid defined by the correlogram ranges. For Vein 1 and Vein 1F a third pass was used for sample selection and estimation of silver. Correlogram and search parameters derived for Vein 1 were applied to Vein 1 FW with varying minimum and maximum number of samples required for estimation.

Composite data used for estimation was restricted to samples located in the respective veins. Individual block grades were used to calculate a dollar equivalent value for each block. Estimation criteria for Vein 1, Vein 1F, and Vein 2 are summarized in Table 11‑39, and Table 11‑40, respectively.

11.2.7.5 Block Model and Grade Estimation for the Bermingham Deposit

The block model covers the entire extent of the mineralized domains and includes estimations for Ag, Au, Pb, Zn and SG. Based on the variability of the data, a parent block size of 2.5 m x 5 m x 5 m was tested to increase the resolution within the block model, provide more accurate local estimates, and to support the variety of mining methods that could be employed at Bermingham (Table 11‑41).

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Resource estimation methodology consisted of:

• Raw samples were capped before compositing where necessary.

• Assays composited to 1m intervals.

• All composites shorter than 0.5m were added to the previous interval within each wireframe.

• Ag, Au, Pb, Zn, and SG were estimated using ID 2.

• Clamping occurred on some veins in the North East Zone (Table 11‑46).

The selection parameters, search radii, and directions of search axes were determined by variogram analysis and visual inspection of each domain and their associated data. Minimum and maximum samples, maximum samples per drillhole and clamping values were finalized by conducting many test resource estimates and reviewing global means and visually inspecting local estimates compared to composite grades. Estimation parameters are summarized in Table 11‑42 to Table 11‑45.

Mining Plus noted that the 2015 version of the Flame and Moth MRE was interpolated using Ordinary Kriging (OK) while this 2023 estimate for elements Ag, Au, Pb and Zn used Inverse Distance Squared (ID 2). The report for the 2015 MRE of Flame and Moth reports rotations and ranges of correlograms that were determined for each zone (rather than individual vein). Sills and ranges determined were around 20%

11.2.8 Block Model Validation

11.2.8.1 Block Model Validation for the Bellekeno Deposit

Multiple model validation techniques run on the Bellekeno resource model included running an ID 2 and NN estimate on the same block size and parameters as the OK estimate. The difference in estimation results between the OK versus ID 2, and OK versus NN techniques was largely with ±5 to 10%, as shown in Table 11‑47 and Table 11‑48.

11.2.8.2 Block Model Validation for the Lucky Queen Deposit

The block model was validated visually by the inspection of successive section lines to confirm that the block model correctly reflects the distribution of high-grade and low-grade samples.

Trend analysis for the Lucky Queen Mineral Resource estimate demonstrated a minimal global bias and slight smoothing of the ID 2 estimates as compared to a NN estimates, and correctly reflected grade trends along the strike of the deposit (Figure 11‑33). An additional validation check was completed by comparing the undiluted ID 2 estimates to undiluted NN estimates generated using the same search criteria and tabulated at a zero cut-off (Table 11‑50). The observed difference between two models’ average block estimates is a function of the sharp grade drop immediately adjacent to the high-grade core of the vein.

11.2.8.3 Block Model Validation for the Flame and Moth Deposit

The Flame and Moth 2023 mineral estimate was validated by the following methods:

 Comparison of estimated ID grades against a NN estimation for each of the metals and domains (Table 11‑51).

 A visual inspection of the local block grades and the composites used for the estimates.

 Swath plots for a global validation between ID 2 and NN estimates.

For model validation, Mining Plus produced swath plots to validate its internal processes. Observations revealed a consistent correlation between block grades and input composite grades, with a tendency for the composite grades to be lower than the block grades. The applied capping has resulted in higher grade zones displaying lower than anticipated grades in the block model, as seen in Figure 11‑34, Figure 11‑35

and Figure 11‑36. It is therefore recommended that reconciliations in these zones be monitored to apply adjustments to the capping process should significant variations be observed.

Mining Plus concluded that there were no obvious issues with model block estimation in the 2023 estimate.

11.2.8.4 Block Model Validation for the Onek Deposit

The block model was validated visually by the inspection of successive section lines to confirm that the block model correctly reflects the distribution of high-grade and low-grade samples. An ID 2 estimate was prepared for the blocks using the same search criteria and compared against the OK estimate. Analysis of OK versus ID 2 estimates at various cut-off values for the Onek deposit demonstrates a slight smoothing of the OK estimate compared to the ID 2 estimate for the indicated resource (Figure 11‑37). For the inferred resource, the OK estimate for silver shows less smoothing than the ID 2 estimate.

11.3 Mineral Resource Classification

Industry best practice in Mineral Resource classification suggests that resource classification should consider both the confidence in the geological continuity of the mineralized structures, the quality and quantity of exploration data supporting the estimates, and the geostatistical confidence in the tonnage and grade estimates. Appropriate classification criteria should aim at integrating these concepts to delineate regular areas at similar resource classification.

All block models and all associated data were reviewed by the Mining Plus geology QP. The QP is satisfied that geological modelling honors the current geological information and knowledge. The location of the samples and the assay data are sufficiently reliable to support resource evaluation. Likewise, in the review of resource classification, any uncertainties related to the data, models, or estimation processes have been considered.

During the review process carried out by Mining Plus, it was noted that most blocks classified as Indicated utilize a drill spacing of approximately 25 m x 25 m across all deposits. However, variations in approaches of classification were identified, primarily attributable to different authors. Importantly, no significant discrepancies were observed except for Bellekeno, as is explained in the section below. Mining Plus

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 245

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

recommends maintaining the 25-meter threshold for Indicated classification, emphasizing the importance of consistent classification criteria across deposits whenever feasible.

Generally, when evaluating mineralization with strong geological continuity, investigated at an adequate drill spacing with reliable sampling information, the QP considers that blocks estimated during the first estimation run considering full variogram ranges can be classified in the Indicated category in accordance with the SEC definitions. For those blocks, the QP considers that the level of confidence is sufficient to allow appropriate application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and to allow evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

Conversely, blocks estimated during the second and third passes considering search neighborhoods set larger than the variogram ranges should be appropriately classified in the Inferred category due to insufficient confidence in the estimate. This allows for meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability.

The Mineral Resources were estimated in conformity with the SEC S-K 1300 regulations, and all Mineral Resource Estimates presented in this updated technical report have been classified within the meaning of the SEC definitions by independent QP’s.

Mineral Resources may be affected by further infill and exploration drilling that may result in increases or decreases in subsequent resource estimates. Mineral Resources may also be affected by subsequent assessments of mining, environmental, processing, permitting, taxation, socio economic, and other factors.

11.3.1 Mineral Resource Classification for the Bellekeno Deposit

Block model quantity estimates, grade estimates, and resource classification for the Bellekeno deposit were prepared by Alexco Resource Corp.

The initial Mineral Resource Classification for this block model in 2022 categorized blocks as Indicated Mineral Resources if at least four drill holes within 50 m, and a kriging variance less than 0.5 was obtained. Blocks were classified as Inferred Mineral Resources if at least two drill holes within 100 m, and a kriging variance less than 0.85 was obtained. Due to the limited data in the East Vein, no Indicated Mineral Resource existed for the East Vein. All other blocks remained unclassified.

Upon review by the Mining Plus geology QP, several inconsistencies between the block model and raw data were detected and have not been sufficiently resolved. Incomplete or unclear data did not allow for exact replication; additionally, certain domains exhibited an apparent overestimation of zinc (domain 991 and 481) and silver (smallest domain 481). Density calculations are derived from the grades of silver, lead and zinc, posing a potential for overestimation in these domains. Reasons behind this overestimation remain unclear and necessitate further investigation. It is important to highlight that the resource contribution at Bellekeno constitutes a small percentage (4%) of silver ounces in comparison to the global

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 246

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

resources, and any potential issues associated with this deposit are not deemed material. This has resulted in the downgrade of all indicated to inferred resources. The existing inferred resource has not changed status and unclassified blocks remain unclassified. Nevertheless, it is advised to undertake a new resource estimate, taking into consideration the noted discrepancies.

All blocks estimated in the first estimation run were classified as Inferred Mineral Resources along with all blocks from subsequent estimation runs for this report.

11.3.2 Mineral Resource Classification for the Lucky Queen Deposit

Block model quantity estimates, grade estimates, and resource classification for the Lucky Queen deposit were prepared by F. H. Brown, CPG, PrSciNat, under the supervision of Dr. Gilles Arseneau, P.Geo. The Mining Plus geology QP reviewed the block model and all associated data.

The Mining Plus geology QP considers that the quality of the exploration data (confidence in the location and reliability of assaying results) is good and, therefore, is not a factor that would impact resource classification. The confidence in the underlying data sets supports the classification of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. There is insufficient information to confirm both the geological and grade continuity with the current level of sampling to support a Measured Mineral Resource classification.

All blocks estimated in the first estimation run were classified as Indicated Mineral Resources and all blocks estimated using the second estimation run were classified as Inferred Mineral Resources.

11.3.3 Mineral Resource Classification for the Flame and Moth Deposit

Block model quantity estimates, grade estimates, and resource classifications for the Flame and Moth deposit were prepared by Ben Chambers, Resource Geologist, Hecla. The block model and all associated data was reviewed by the Mining Plus geology QP.

Block classification hinged on proximity to drillholes and available sample data. The majority of Indicated category blocks drew data from two drill holes, ensuring an approximate drill spacing of 25 m x 25 m. and a minimum of 6 samples for estimation. After this initial review, hand drawn outlines were created to clean up any artifacts and remove instances of “spots” within the model. These outlines were extruded through the mineralized domains and used to classify the material.

Mining Plus remains in agreement with the applied classification and further recommends that the 25 m threshold for Indicated is maintained.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 247

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

The removal of the closer spaced samples in the already mined area remains a concern. The samples obtained from these mining areas, in conjunction with completed geology mapping may permit sufficient control to classify some of the resource estimate as Measured.

11.3.4 Mineral Resource Classification for the Onek Deposit

Block model quantity estimates, grade estimates, and resource classification for the Onek project were prepared by Dr. Gilles Arseneau, P.Geo, who is an independent QP. The block model and all associated data was reviewed by the Mining Plus geology QP.

The Mining Plus geology QP considers that the quality of the exploration data (confidence in the location and reliability of assaying results) is good and therefore is not a factor that would impact resource classification. The classification of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources was applied to the Onek deposit based on a full review that included the examination of drill spacing, visual comparison and distance to nearest drillhole. There is insufficient information to confirm both the geological and grade continuity with the current level of sampling to support a Measured Mineral Resource classification.

Blocks were classified as Indicated Mineral Resources if at least two drill holes and five composites were found within a 60 m by 30 m search ellipse. All other interpolated blocks were classified as Inferred Mineral Resource. Similar to previous deposits, block classification relied on the proximity to drillhole data and available sample information. The majority of Indicated classified blocks use approximately 25 x 25 m spacing drilling.

11.3.5 Mineral Resource Classification for the Bermingham Deposit

Block model quantity estimates, grade estimates, and resource classification for the Bermingham deposit were prepared by Ben Chambers, Resource Geologist, Hecla. The block model and all associated data was reviewed by Mining Plus geology QP.

The Mining Plus geology QP assesses that the exploration data’s quality, reflecting both confidence in the spatial accuracy and reliability of assaying results, is deemed satisfactory and, consequently, does not constitute a determinant affecting the resource classification. The classification methodology applied to the Bermingham deposit relied on computing the average distance to drillholes utilized in the estimate. Final delineations were formulated by considering the density of drilling information and the level of confidence in the geologic interpretation.

Material exhibiting the highest confidence level is categorized as Indicated, with the initial selection determined during the first pass. Subsequent adjustments to boundaries are made based on proximity to drilling sites and the associated geological confidence.

11.4 Depletion

All five block models for the deposits within the Keno Hill Project were depleted using underground void wireframes. Depletion at the Bellekeno deposit was completed and inclusive to the end of 2021 with no additional mining having taken place since. Challenges encountered during the depletion process included topographical triangulation issues and uncertainties in recent MRE updates, both of which complicated the depletion process. The depletion was facilitated with the aid of a bubble wireframe, incorporating a 5.0 m buffer around the underground voids.

The Lucky Queen and Onek Mines experienced complete depletion of mineral production by the conclusion of 2017. Post-2017 mining endeavors in these mines were primarily focused on rehabilitation efforts. Flame and Moth and Bermingham, both undergoing active mining, were depleted as of the conclusion of September 2023 and end of December 2023, respectively. Updated underground drift and stope voids were used for this process.

11.5 Basis for Establishing the Prospects of Economic Extraction for Mineral Resources

An optimization was carried out at SMU using Surpac software to determine the extent of the mineral resource with "reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction" in all five of the deposits using the cut and fill method to satisfy the requirement in accordance with industry standards.

Mining Plus performed a resource optimization in accordance with the economic parameters and stope dimensions detailed in Table 11‑55 using an NSR cut-off of CAD $185/tonne. All the Mineral Resources are reported inside the optimized underground shell.

The NSR cut-off of CAD $185/tonne is derived from past studies focusing on mining and mill process costs. Hecla’s current assessment suggests that, based on their updated cost analysis, the NSR cut-off should be around CAD $200/tonne. Hecla’s comparisons of reported resources at the two cut-off levels indicate no significant differences. Mining Plus has independently reviewed the results and concluded that the difference in cut-off values is not deemed material.

In the resource optimization process for Bellekeno, Lucky, and Onek, a modification was sub-cells in the block model. This adjustment aimed to transition from a block model with regular cell size and a percentage representation of the mineral zone to a block model with sub cells. Mining Plus conducted a thorough examination of the outcomes of the model with sub cells and identified a discrepancy in the Onek model. Despite this inaccuracy, it is deemed non-material for the reported resources due to location and quantity. Mining Plus strongly recommends the need to update these models in a consistent, traceable, and practical manner for operational purposes.

11.6 Mineral Resource Statement

The Mineral Resources have been estimated in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements (SEC, 2018) and are reported in accordance with S-K 1300 regulations. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

In the opinion of the QP, the resource evaluations reported herein are a reasonable representation of the global polymetallic Mineral Resources in the Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham deposits given the current level of sampling.

As noted by Mining Plus, there has been no substantial alteration in Indicated resources on a global scale, notwithstanding the degradation of Indicated resources from Bellekeno to Inferred and the depletion of Flame and Moth and Bermingham. Nevertheless, there has been a notable upswing in Inferred resources, amounting to a 30% increase. While it is important to acknowledge that the previous models are not directly comparable, these significant changes primarily stem from five factors:

 New drilling primarily at Flame and Moth and Bermingham.

 New vein interpretations at Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits.

 New metal prices that are generally higher, according to long-term updated prices.

 For the reporting of Mineral Resources, optimized underground shells were generated utilizing a cut-off of CAD $185/tonne with a minimum mining width of 1.50 m, and all the Resources were subsequently reported within these specific underground shells; in comparison to previous resources that were reporting on an NSR cut-off.

 Depletion at Flame and Moth and Bermingham with the mining production.

11.7 Mineral Resource Uncertainty Discussion

Possible risk factors together with the rationale for the approach taken or mitigating factors established to reduce any risk are described below:

a) Data: Although no material inconsistencies have been detected, the flagging of NR (No record or NULL) assay data is noted and has been left as NULLs in the estimation process. This is standard practice; however, it was noted that many are located within low grade zones (zones for Christal and Lightning in Flame and Moth) so it may not have a significant impact on the resources. At Flame and Moth, it was noted that the NR intervals constituted around 15% of the total sampled length of some domains and monitoring of these zones is recommended.

The examination of various drilling databases revealed some minor inconsistencies that should be appropriately addressed in future efforts. Among these, the most crucial issues included the lack of consistency in logging information prior to 2010 and discrepancies observed between the

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 251

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

entered assay data and the laboratory certificates, particularly notable in the Onek database, and to a lesser extent at Bellekeno and Lucky Queen. While the discrepancies identified in the database review are minor, conducting a more comprehensive audit is imperative to address these inconsistencies and ascertain whether any other issues exist that may not have been uncovered in Mining Plus’s initial review.

Density determination was conducted using the pycnometer applied to the pulp. This method is widely employed in most cases for density calculations through regression functions with metal content. It is important to note that, to eliminate biases associated with the pycnometer, a comparison was made with density obtained through the Archimedes method. While no significant bias was detected, Mining Plus suggests that the Archimedes method may require improved measurement accuracy, particularly in porous or vuggy areas. To address this, it is recommended to compare the Archimedes method using a paraffin coating or to engage an external laboratory in these areas to ensure the absence of any density biases.

b) Geologic Model: This aspect is considered critical as different models can be interpreted under different criteria or perspectives, being the main risk associated with any project. The applied interpretation and modelling criteria seem to vary from deposit to deposit. The interpretations are apparently based on a combination of geology and economic cut-off and a lack of accurate snapping was observed in some deposits. These problems may not have a significant global impact on the resource but there could be some impact at a local scale. It is advisable to have clear and consistent modeling criteria for any future updates.

Some logging inconsistencies have been detected for holes prior to 2010 that can, in some cases, generate a misinterpretation. It is therefore suggested to review the logging carried out in the estimation domains for future estimates.

c) Classification Criteria: Classification appears to have been applied to a reasonable standard, with most blocks within 25 m of source data being assigned Indicated status. However, it was noted that the classification scheme for many deposits is around 50‑m distance for the Indicated classification, which is typically wider than what would normally be applied. Furthermore, the classification criteria include uncertainty in the data and estimate due to discrepancies found in the revision made by Mining Plus as in the case of Bellekeno.

d) Grade Capping: The implementation of capping has been applied on a case-by-case basis and as needed. Overall, most estimation domains exhibit a low coefficient of variation (CV). For Flame and Moth, a clamp method was employed to limit high-grade values. Whilst this results in lower than anticipated grades in high grade zones, this method shows improved results compared to traditional capping methods. Mining Plus holds the opinion that there are no notable concerns regarding the outcomes of capping; nevertheless, it is recommended that a consistent capping method be applied uniformly across all five deposits and the domains with high CV are reviewed to detect subpopulations.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 252

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Mining Plus advises against methods of raw data capping, as it may result in potentially higher loss of metal compared to capping on the composite. The recommended approach is to consider capping after the compositing process, where the influence of high grades is mitigated.

e) Interpolation of the Grades: Block model grade interpolation was completed with different estimation techniques to accommodate local and global biases, which currently remain within the acceptable range. No material issue was detected with the exception of the Bellekeno deposit, which was subsequently downgraded from Indicated classification to Inferred. However, it was noted that different estimation approaches have been applied to each deposit due to differing authors. Future estimates should establish consistent estimation criteria as far as practicable, which includes capping methods, density estimates, and classification criteria among others.

The implementation of mining reconciliation is currently ongoing, and a comprehensive review is underway to grasp all the components involved and comprehend potential differences. Mining Plus emphasizes that, in accordance with best practices, mining reconciliation stands out as a tool with the potential for achieving superior results in validation. It plays a crucial role in enhancing an understanding regarding the certainty of Mineral Resources and anticipating future improvements.

f) Processing and Mining Costs: Mining Plus has assumed no risk for the processing and mining costs applied to the NSR economic cut-off for reporting the Mineral Resource estimates. These costs have been reportedly based on previous studies. However, verification with current Hecla costs (mining and processing cost) showed no significant differences in the reported resources.

g) Metal Price Assumption: The assumptions are deemed reasonable for reporting Mineral Resources considering long-term prices over the last decade. Nonetheless, it is essential to acknowledge that these parameters could be influenced by significant shifts in the market economy.

It is the opinion of the Mining Plus geology QP that the Mineral Resource models presented in this report are representative of the informing data and that the data is of sufficient quality and quantity to support the Mineral Resource estimate to the Classifications applied.

12. Mineral Reserve Estimates

This section describes the methodology and parameters used to estimate the Mineral Reserves for the Keno Hill Mine.

Mineral Reserves are those parts of Mineral Resources, which, after the application of all modifying factors, result in an estimated tonnage and grade that is the basis of an economically viable project. Mineral Reserves are inclusive of diluting material that will be mined in conjunction with the economically mineralized rock and delivered to the treatment plant or equivalent facility. The term “Mineral Reserve” need not necessarily signify that extraction facilities are in place or operative, or that all governmental approvals have been received. It does signify that there are reasonable expectations of such approvals.

The current Mineral Reserve Estimate, as prepared by Hecla and reviewed and accepted by Mining Plus, is effective as of December 31, 2023, considers all information used in the Mineral Resource Estimate presented in Section 11.1, and is summarized in Table 12‑1.

Only Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources were converted to Mineral Reserves. Any Inferred Mineral Resources included within the Mineral Reserve designs are carried at zero grade.

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 12‑ – Summary of Mineral Reserves – December 31, 2023 – Hecla Yukon – Keno Hill Mine.

Probable | 611,544 | 1,877,357 | 912 | 2.81 | 2.53 | 0.22 | 55,068,028
Notes: 1. Classification of Mineral Reserves is in accordance with the S-K 1300 classification system. 2. Mineral Reserves were estimated by Hecla and reviewed and accepted by Mining Plus. 3. The point of reference for the Mineral Reserves is defined at the point where the ore is delivered to the processing plant. 4. Mineral Reserves are 100% attributable to Hecla. 5. Mineral Reserves are estimated at an NSR cut-off value of CAD 350/tonne. 6. The NSR values reflect the discrete metallurgical responses for the Mineral Reserve blocks. 7. Mineral Reserves are estimated using metallurgical recoveries of 92.0% Ag, 25% Au, 4.0% Zn and 88% Pb for the silver lead concentrate and 5.24% Ag, 0% Au, 68% Zn and 4.0% Pb for the Zinc concentrate. 8. Mineral Reserves are estimated using long-term silver price of USD 17.00/oz, lead price of USD 0.90/lb, zinc price of USD 1.15/lb and a CAD:USD exchange rate of 1.30. 9. A minimum mining width of 3.5 m was used for all assets. 10. Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

The Mineral Reserve metal prices were established mid-year 2023 based on the following:

 Hecla’s historic price decks for year-end 2022 Mineral Reserves and Resources, 2024 Long-Range Plans and 2023 budgets.

 Bloomberg Historical prices from June 26, 2023.

 Future prices from Consensus Economics from June 26, 2023.

 Wood Mackenzie Short Term Outlook reports for July 2023.

 Year-end 2022 Mineral Reserve metal price for selected peer and other companies.

Mining Plus’s QP is of the opinion that the Mineral Reserve prices for silver and gold are moderately conservative when compared against third-party economics firm’s long-term consensus pricing. The zinc and lead price are near the mean when compared against third-party economics firm’s long-term consensus pricing.

Detailed information on mining, processing, and other relevant factors are contained in the following sections and combined to demonstrate that the Keno Hill Mine is economically viable.

12.1 Mineral Reserve Estimate Methodology

Mechanized cut and fill (MCF) mining method is used in this Mineral Reserve Estimate and detailed in Section 13.3.1.

Production designs are created based on the geometries relevant to the cut and fill mining method which are discussed in Section 13.3.1. Mineral Reserve Estimates are based on the Mineral Resource 3D block models. Mineable shapes are created based on individual zones and lens geometries around the production locations that meet the NSR cut-off threshold, while also ensuring that adverse pillar geometries are not created that could become unstable, and that mining does not cease near a problematic structure. Production locations outside the Mineral Reserve outlines are not included in Mineral Reserves. Once designs are completed, access ramps and other supporting infrastructure are designed to facilitate production mining.

The production design wireframes are evaluated against the sub-blocked model to generate tonnes and grades for each location.

Internal portions of the mineralized zones that did not meet the NSR cut-off grade value are treated as waste. This mineralized material could be included in the mineable shapes and the Mineral Reserves by applying a marginal cut-off grade as the material will have to be mined to gain access to other areas of the Mineral Reserve. The Mining Plus mining QP recommends that the material be evaluated for inclusion in the Mineral Reserves for any future updates.

12.2 Net Smelter Return and Cut-Off Grade

The primary saleable metal of Keno Hill is silver with lead and zinc as significant byproducts. Gold is also present and recovered to the concentrate, however, it is not payable under the current smelter contract and does not contribute to the NSR value. As is typical of polymetallic deposits, the cut-off grade (COG) for Mineral Reserves is calculated and expressed in terms of Net Smelter Return (NSR) value per tonne. The NSR is calculated on a unit metal value basis using representative smelter contract terms, freight costs, and forecast metal prices. Metal prices and metallurgical recoveries used to calculate NSR are summarized in Table 12‑2 and Table 12‑3.

Product | Unit | Price
Silver (Ag) | USD/oz | 17.00

The COG value used for mineable shapes evaluation is CAD 350.00/tonne. This COG reflects the property-wide operating costs distributed on a per-tonne basis. The Keno Hill operating costs used as the basis for cut-off grade calculations are presented in Table 12‑4.

Description | Mining | Mill | G&A | Total
Operating Costs (CAD/t) | 180 | 62 | 108 | 350

Mining Plus independently verified the Mineral Reserve NSR estimation methodology. Variances were noted in the application of the metal prices between the NSR build up for the Mineral Reserve Estimate and the prices used for economic evaluation. The economic evaluation is based on higher assumed metal prices supported by end of year 2023 long term metal price forecasts and consensus reporting.

12.3 Dilution

Dilution refers to material below cutoff grade or value which must be mined because it cannot be selectively excluded from within the planned mining shapes at the time of excavation. This low-grade material is also typically referred to as internal dilution. Dilution is impossible to avoid due to the narrow geometry of the orebody.

In the cut and fill design stage, in many cases, the shapes of the planned excavation cannot be perfectly matched to the mineralized outlines. Areas outside of the mineralized outline, but inside the planned development are typically referred to as planned dilution and must be excavated for technical and operational reasons. In addition to the above-planned dilution, dilution can result from additional material that is mined as a result of uncontrolled, unplanned, or unforeseen reasons. This material is often referred to as overbreak, unplanned dilution, or external dilution.

Accurate reconciliation studies are required to estimate the tonnage and grade of the planned and unplanned dilution in an underground mine. The tonnage of the unplanned dilution can be measured by comparing the excavated volume of a given cut and fill shape to the planned or designed volume. The

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 257

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

grade of the planned and unplanned diluting materials can be estimated from the available sample information. The volume of the secondary dilution can be estimated by comparing the surveyed excavation shape of the backfilled development with the surveyed excavation shape of the newly blasted development. Internal dilution (planned dilution) is primarily a function of the geometry of the orebody and the minimum mining width.

In operating underground mines, an additional type of dilution can occur. This dilution occurs when blasting of new cut and fill development takes place adjacent to a previously excavated development containing backfill material. In these situations, a portion of the backfilled volume can become entrained with the newly blasted material. The grades of the backfill material are typically far below the breakeven cut-off grade or value, and this material contributes to the total dilution of the newly blasted material. Furthermore, the backfill can have very different chemical characteristics to the mineralized material and its inclusion in the process plant feed can have serious adverse consequences for the process plant. This dilution is referred to as secondary dilution.

The dilution percentage is defined as tonnes of dilution material (W) divided by tonnes of mineralized material (O) (Dilution % = W/O x 100).

12.3.1.1 Development Overbreak

Due to the challenging ground conditions in KHM, the expected overbreak for capital lateral development is 10%. This is comparable to what was achieved during the excavation of the Flame and Moth and Bermingham exploration declines.

12.3.1.2 MCF Dilution

The minimum mining width for the MCF method in all deposits is 3.5 m. The MCF development contains internal dilution within the proposed mining shape due to the narrow vein width. No external dilution has been allowed due to the highly selective nature of the chosen mining method.

The Mining Plus mining QP is of the opinion that the exclusion of unplanned dilution in the MCF production shapes is potentially optimistic. There is potential for unplanned dilution to be introduced through small scale variations in the vein location, floor or wall backfill material, overbreak, and re-handle dilution. Mining Plus recommends that a reconciliation program be established for the current production areas in Bermingham to better understand the potential impact of unplanned dilution and apply those findings to future Mineral Reserve updates.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 258

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

12.4 Recovery

Mining recovery is the difference between the planned amount of ore and the actual amount of ore that is mucked and sent to the mill.

Due to the high-grade nature of the mineralization, all efforts will be made to ensure that recovery is maximized. A mining recovery of 100% has been applied to all planned production blocks due to the highly selective nature of the mining method. The Mining Plus mining QP considers this assumption to be reasonable and recommends close survey monitoring of the performance of the production areas to ensure that production as-builts are able to fully recover the Mineral Reserve when compared to design.

12.5 Risk Factors that Could Materially Affect the Mineral Reserve Estimate

In the opinion of the Mining Plus mining QP, the Mineral Reserves are subject to the type of risks that are common to underground polymetallic narrow vein mining operations and may be materially affect by the following risk factors:

 Changes in realized metal prices from what was assumed.

 Changes to the mining costs, processing and G&A costs used to calculate the cut-off grade.

 Changes in local interpretation of mineralization geometry or modelled continuity of mineralized zones.

 Changes to geotechnical or hydrogeological design assumptions resulting in schedule delays, increased dilution, or reduced recoveries.

 Changes to mining and metallurgical recoveries.

 Changes in the long-term assumptions relating to concentrate payability, marketability and penalty terms.

 Changes in the mining development or geotechnical conditions resulting in additional unplanned dilution.

 Changes to the current mining method where certain zones or lenses permit.

 Assumptions as to the continued ability to access site, retain mineral tenure, obtain required environmental, mining, and other regulatory permits, and maintain a social license to operate with relevant stakeholders.

13. Mining Methods

The Keno Hill Mine (KHM) contains five separate deposits: Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham. The location of the deposits is shown in Figure 13‑1; the mill, administration, and shop complexes are located near the Flame and Moth Deposit.

All deposits are characterized by high grades, narrow vein widths, and challenging ground conditions. Historical mining methods used in Keno Hill have included cut and fill, small-scale long-hole stoping, shrinkage stoping, and square set stoping.

This section focuses on three deposits: Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, and Bermingham. Lucky Queen is in the advanced exploration stage and the Mineral Reserve is included in the Life of Mine Plan (LOM). Flame and Moth, and Bermingham are currently mined by mechanized underground mining methods of cut and fill (MCF) with cemented rock fill (CRF) and unconsolidated rock fill (URF) as required.

The operations at Bellekeno deposit were suspended in 2021 and is not currently planned to be reopened without further study.

Onek is a historic mine with remaining Mineral Resources but is not currently planned to be reopened without further study.

13.1 Geotechnical and Hydrological Considerations

Numerous geotechnical studies have been carried out on the KHM most recently by Jacobs Engineering (Jacobs, 2019).

13.1.1 Geotechnical Database

Geotechnical data for this study was only available for the Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits. Based on discussions with Hecla personnel, it is reasonable to assume that ground conditions previously encountered at the Bellekeno deposit will be comparable with those at the Lucky Queen. Therefore, operational experience gained during previous production mining at the Bellekeno deposit will be used to guide (but not directly influence) the development of geotechnical mine design parameters at the Lucky Queen deposit. However, prior to the execution stage, the geotechnical conditions of the Lucky Queen will need to be verified.

13.1.2 Geotechnical Domains

To understand the ground conditions at the KHM, geotechnical domains were created for the Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits. Preliminary geotechnical parameters were assessed using major lithology types as identified by Hecla geology personnel. The geotechnical domains are outlined below on which ground support designs have been based:

 Domain 1: Quartzite (waste development).

 Domain 2: Schist (waste development).

 Domain 3: Faults (waste and production development).

 Domain 4: Mineralization (production development).

13.1.3 Structural Characterization

The Flame and Moth deposit is divided into the Lightning and Christal mining areas, which are separated by the Mill Fault. The Mill Fault offsets Christal in a southeast direction by approximately 120 meters relative to the Lighting mining area as shown in Figure 13‑2.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 13‑ – Plan View of Flame and Moth Showing Fault Offset of Christal Relative to Lightning Mining Area.

The Bermingham deposit hosts five major faults as summarized in Table 13‑1. Figure 13‑3 shows a three-dimensional representation of the major faults relative to the Bermingham mine plan. The NE zone is located underneath the Ruby Fault while the Bear zone and Artic zone are located between the Ruby Fault and Cross Fault and Cross Fault and Mastiff Fault respectively. The Super Fault intercepts the upper part of the Artic zone but does not intercept the ore veins within the Bermingham deposit.

13.1.4 Rock Quality Designation (RQD)

A first-pass assessment of the rock mass in geotechnical domains was completed by considering the Rock Quality Designation (RQD) (after Deere, 1964). RQD is a fundamental input into several rock mass characterization schemes and is generally regarded as a reliable, basic indicator of ground conditions. The RQD is calculated as the ratio of the sum of the lengths of all core sticks greater than 10 cm in length, to the total length of the drill core run, expressed as a percentage.

A summary of RQD values for the Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits and geotechnical domains is presented in Table 13‑2. The descriptive statistics for each domain are described as ‘Poor’, except for the Fault domain of the Bermingham deposit (‘Very Poor’) and the Mineralization Domain of the Flame and Moth deposit (‘Fair’).

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 264

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 13‑ – Summary of RQD Values for Flame and Moth and Bermingham Deposits by Geotechnical Domain.

Deposit | Descriptive Statistics | Domain 1 | Domain 2 | Domain 3 | Domain 4
Flame and Moth | Mean | 49% | 43% | 27% | 51%
Median | 49% | 42% | 24% | 57%
Std. Deviation | 25% | 25% | 22% | 26%
Coefficient of Variation | 51% | 58% | 80% | 51%
Bermingham | Mean | 36% | 30% | 22% | 35%
Median | 33% | 25% | 17% | 34%
Std. Deviation | 25% | 23% | 21% | 22%
Coefficient of Variation | 69% | 79% | 94% | 64%

It should be noted that over 90% of boreholes in the geotechnical database were drilled using conventional, double-tube drilling equipment. This approach may lead to excessive disturbance of the core (‘mechanical’ or handling breaks) which can be difficult to distinguish from naturally occurring joints when logging RQD. This can typically result in artificially low RQD values.

Based on a review of in-situ rock mass exposed in underground excavations, an under-representation of RQD values in double-tube core drilling was likely to be the case at the KHM. As such, the summary values in Table 13‑2 may be ‘worst case’, however it is problematic to estimate likely upper bound values with confidence. It is recommended that all future geotechnical holes are drilled using the triple-tube system.

13.1.5 NGI Q and GSI Rock Mass Classification Values

Rock mass classification was conducted using the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute’s tunneling quality index (the Q-system), as proposed by Barton et al. (1974), where Q is obtained from the following relationship: RQD (as described above), Joint Set Number (Jn), Joint Roughness (Jr), Joint Alteration (Ja), Joint Water Factor (Jw), and the Stress Reduction Factor (SRF):

Equation : Q Equation Barton et al. (1974).

(1)

Q values have been estimated using the methods outlined by Barton and Grimstad (1994), whereby:

• Where logged recorded RQD values are ≤ 10% (including 0%), use a nominal value of 10% to evaluate Q.

To better understand the statistical variability and character within each data set, basic descriptive statistics and histograms were generated for each input value, within each geotechnical domain for the

Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits. This information was used to identify representative values for each Q input value. In the case of J w and SRF, site experience, assumed far-field stress conditions, and a typical depth of mining were applied, along with engineering judgment to derive input values. The NGI Q estimates for the Bermingham and Flame and Moth deposits and geotechnical domains are presented in Table 13‑3. Table 13‑4 provides a comparative summary of the Geological Strength Index (GSI) for the Keno Hill deposits with extrapolated NGI-Q values shown.

Ground support classes have been established according to the accessed RQD of the rock mass for the development. Details for each ground support class are summarized below:

 Class I – Regular ground with RQD > 40%.

 Class II – Poor to fair ground with 25% < RQD < 40%.

 Class III – Very poor ground with RQD < 25%.

A ground control management plan has been developed for each deposit that governs the ground support methodology. A minimum ground support standard using 1.8 m to 2.4 m long rock bolts for the back and walls has been recommended to prevent possible wedge failure or unconsolidated back and wall sloughing caused by blasting damage. Further refinement to the ground support standard is anticipated as data from underground development is collected and analyzed. Where abnormal ground conditions are encountered, the ground support protocols are to be reviewed for effectiveness and additional support recommendations as determined by a Geotechnical Engineer or designate.

Table 13‑6 provides a summary of the Flame and Moth and Bermingham ground support standards. All ground support patterns employ 4” (0.10 m) square, 6-gauge welded wire mesh with the exception of the cut and fill drifts which employ 3” (0.07 m) square, 6-gauge welded wire mesh.

Intersections are recognized as posing a higher risk for ground instability and the site Ground Control Management Plans (GCMPs) provide the following guidance to minimize this risk:

 4-way intersections should be avoided as much as possible.

 Intersections in very poor ground must be avoided and/or relocated.

 Over-excavation should be minimized.

13.1.7 Pillar Sizing

Mechanized cut and fill mining at Keno Hill requires rib pillars to mine parallel veins and sill pillars between sublevels. Rib pillars for adjacent mining are nominally sized at 3m. Sill pillars between sublevels are also sized at no smaller than 3 m and nominally targeted to be 4m high. Previous evaluations of pillar sizing were done using the formula developed by Potvin et al. (1989), shown below:

Equation 2: Pillar Strength by Potvin et al. (1974).

Pillar Strength MPa= 0.42*UCS* W/H (2)

13.2 Hydrological Considerations

The Lucky Queen and Bermingham mining zones are located above the valley floor. Consequently, this tends to limit the occurrence and effect of adverse hydrogeological conditions. However, the Flame and Moth deposit is located on a valley floor such that there is a possibility of higher water inflow to the workings. Preliminary investigations suggest that groundwater may be structurally compartmentalized in the deposit-scale Mill Fault. Additional hydrogeological studies are underway in 2024 that are expected to further improve the hydrogeological understanding and modelling at Bermingham.

13.3 Mine Design

13.3.1 Mining Method

Keno Hill ore is mined with a mechanized cut and fill method (MCF). Where the ore width is wider than can be safely extracted in one cut, the ore will be mined in adjacent drifts. Lenses are predominantly

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 269

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

mined in a bottom-up sequence and filled with cemented rock fill (CRF) with a 3%-8% binder content. CRF is used to introduce temporary sill levels or to fill initial drifts when multiple adjacent drifts are required. Temporary sill levels form a sequence interrupting pillar which allows for multiple mining fronts to be active on one lens at a time. The remainder of the lifts will be backfilled with URF.

This mining method was chosen due to the narrow steeply dipping nature of the orebodies and to maximize safety and productivity. The various deposits require the use of mining methods that can adequately support the vein and that are flexible and selective while minimizing the direct mining costs.

The main factors driving the mining method selection process are:

 Ground conditions in the vein and along the vein contacts range from good to very poor.

 Ground conditions can vary substantially over short distances (five meters).

 Vein continuity is good; however, the veins geometry varies greatly between deposits.

 Metal content and distribution vary significantly both between deposits and the mining zones within each deposit.

 The footwall is often characterized by competent quartzite but can be weak in some areas.

 The hanging wall varies from competent quartzite to weak layers of quartz breccia with clay-filled shear bands, graphitic schists, or sericite schists.

 Geological contacts at the hanging wall and footwall can often be visually identified but can be faulted or fractured contacts with gouge and breccias.

 Mineralization contacts are less clearly defined and are based on a combination of structure, vein mineralogy, and metal grades.

 Vein systems can be locally water-bearing and require time to drain when they are first crosscut by development.

 Vein depths are shallow with a low-stress regime, high-stress issues are not a factor in mine planning, but lack of clamping forces contributes to the poor ground conditions.

In MCF method, an attack ramp is developed from the main ramp at a gradient of -15%. Upon reaching the orebody, an intersection is developed, and a lift is developed in both directions along strike, following the geological contact of the orebody. At the end of the lens, the void is backfilled using either with a Load Haul Dump (LHD) machine. The LHD utilizes a rammer-jammer plate (a dozer plate modified to be attached to an LHD to push waste tight to the back) to ensure that the backfill is placed tight to the back of the drift.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 270

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Once the level has been completely backfilled, the next lift above the previously mined lift is accessed by slashing down the back of the attack ramp and working off the muck pile/horizon. Figure 13‑4 illustrates the sequence of activities with MCF mining.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 13‑ – Mechanized Cut and Fill Mining Method Layout.

MCF drift sizes for Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits are on average 3.5 m H x 3.5 m W. MCF drift sizes for Lucky Queen deposit are on average 3.5 m H x 3.5 m W. For areas wider than development equipment capable of mining or supporting a second parallel drift will be mined beside the backfilled drift to fully extract the orebody width prior to accessing the lift above. In this situation, the first drift will be completely backfilled with cemented rock fill to ensure a stable wall to allow adjacent mining activity.

For the Bermingham, and Flame and Moth deposits, the lifts are sequenced bottom-up within each panel; however, to maximize productivity the panels are mined as access allows. As such, the final lift in a panel located under an adjacent panel will be mined underhand with the back being the 8% CRF used to fill the initial cut of the panel above.

13.3.2.1 Lucky Queen

The Lucky Queen is located approximately 10 km from the mill and has previously been the site of underground production by a previous operator. Approximately one km of old workings has been rehabilitated from the portal. The access drift is 3.0 m W x 3.6 m H and production drifts will be sized at a minimum of 3.5 m W x 3.5 m H. These drifts are too small for some of the production and development

13.3.2.3 Bermingham

Bermingham deposit is located approximately 4 km from the mill underneath the historic Bermingham Pit. Access to the deposit is through the portal. Ore from the Bermingham is sourced from the Arctic, Bear, Etta, Northeast, and Bermingham Deep zones as shown in Figure 13‑7. Development in the Bermingham is sized 4.2 m W x 4.2 m H for the ramp and an average of 3.5 m W by 3.5 m H for the operating development and MCF development. Emergency egress and ventilation are provided by a ventilation raise driven to the surface.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 13‑ – Bermingham Isometric View (Looking Southeast).

Ore, waste and backfill are handled by 22-tonne capacity haulage trucks underground. Trucks are loaded at remuck bays on the ramp systems and hauled directly to the surface ore pad. From the surface ore pad, all ore is loaded on 30-tonne articulated trucks to be transported to the mill.

Surface handling and backfill of Bermingham waste rock is based on geochemical characterization and approved waste rock characterization and management as required by the Water Licence QZ18-044.

13.4 Backfilling

Backfilling is cemented rock fill (CRF). All backfill material is hauled by the underground haul trucks and placed using LHDs. In areas where a tight seal between the backfill and the back is required, the LHD is equipped with a rammer-jammer plate to push the backfill tight to the back. CRF is mixed in the nearest remuck bay to the backfill area, which is driven at a slight negative grade (e.g., -2%). Cement is currently provided by a mobile cement batch plant and mixed with the waste rock by the LHD. Hecla is planning to build a surface backfill plant at Bermingham in 2024. The plant will be capable of supplying a cemented backfill product that blends waste rock and dewatered mill tailings. The cement content in the CRF ranges between 3% - 8%. The 8% binder CRF is limited to cuts which will form the back of an underhand stope — the initial cut of panels which are above others along the same vein. All other cut and fill excavations are planned to use uncemented waste rock (URF) or 3% binder CRF if there is an adjacent cut to be mined.

13.5 Ventilation

A ventilation model was designed based on the mine plan for the Bermingham, Flame and Moth, and Lucky Queen deposits. Primary fans, auxiliary fans, and heating units are installed at Bermingham and Flame and Moth mines.

13.5.1 Mine Air Heating

Intake air is heated to a minimum of +2°C for all mines. This requires approximately 1.9 MW for Flame and Moth, 1.8 MW for Bermingham, and 1.0 MW for Lucky Queen in the coldest month of January. Direct-fire propane heaters are utilized for Flame and Moth and Bermingham mines. Once mining in Bermingham is completed, Lucky Queen will make use of the existing propane heater and fan inventory. Figure 13‑8 displays the average temperature at the nearest weather station of Mayo, Yukon Territory, Canada.

13.5.2 Ventilation Modelling

A ventilation model for each deposit was developed based on the proposed designs for the three mines using Ventsim® software. This was used to determine operability and estimate the required primary fan duties required at different stages of the mine life. Key modeling considerations include:

• Expected diesel equipment fleets for each mine are based on the mine plan.

• Utilization of availability for equipment is based on the mine plan.

• Associated friction factors and resistances are based on excavation methodology and accepted industry design values.

• A leakage allowance of 20% of total airflow demand.

• Early development work in both the main and ventilation declines will have fans located well outside each portal, a minimum of 50 m away, to limit the possibility of recirculation.

• Airways will maintain an air velocity of at least 0.5 m/s to remove contaminants and maintain an appropriate temperature in the mine.

• Working areas will be limited to an air velocity of 4 m/s and travel ways to a maximum of 6 m/s to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

13.5.2.1 Lucky Queen

The proposed layout for the Lucky Queen underground project will support a simple positive-pressure ventilation circuit. The primary fan located at the collar of a dedicated intake raise will cause air that has passed through a heating system to enter the mine. The air will then flow onto the ramp at the first available opportunity where it will be forced onto each level by an auxiliary fan, sweeping the face and returning to the ramp to repeat the process at the next working area. Ultimately, the air will be exhausted from the main portal. Figure 13‑9 shows an isometric view of the ventilation circuit.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 13‑ – Lucky Queen Primary Airflow Schematic (Alexco, 2021b).

Peak fan power for the Lucky Queen is estimated to be 34.0 kW. Peak airflow requirements reach 41 m³/s in year 10 of the project schedule and remain constant for the life of mine.

During initial development, low-friction twin ducts will be used to push the air the distance to the face. The number of concurrent activities underground will be restricted until the ventilation raise has broken through to the surface and the main fans have been commissioned.

13.5.2.1 Flame and Moth

The proposed layout for the Flame and Moth underground project supports a relatively simple positive pressure ventilation circuit. A primary fan located on the surface forces the heated air down the intake raises to each respective ventilation drive that intercepts the intake raise on the working levels. Each

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 280

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

production level is ventilated using an auxiliary fan that draws fresh air from the intake raise and directs the air through ducting to the working area before it returns to the main ramp to exhaust out the portal. Each of these ventilation drive connections must be regulated to ensure only the desired volume is permitted to flow.

One primary surface intake raise supports the Lightning and Christal zones and the Christal Zone utilizes a dedicated ventilation drive to connect to the fresh air system. Figure 13‑10 shows the basic primary airflow through the fully developed mine.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 13‑ – Flame and Moth Primary Airflow Schematic.

Peak fan power for the Lightning intake surface raise is estimated to be 218 kW with an airflow of 117 m³/s.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 281

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

13.5.2.2 Bermingham

The layout for the Bermingham underground project supports a relatively simple positive pressure ventilation circuit. Two fans located on the surface force heated air down the two intake raises to each respective ventilation drives that intercept the intake raise on the working levels. Each production level is ventilated using an auxiliary fan that draws fresh air from the intake raise and directs the air through ducting to the working area before if returns to the main ramp to exhaust out the portal. Each of these ventilation drive connections must be regulated to ensure only the desired volume is permitted to flow. Figure 13‑11 shows the basic LOM primary airflow through the Bermingham.

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 13‑ – Bermingham Primary Airflow Schematic.

Peak fan power for the Bermingham is estimated to be a combined 301 kW from the two fans. The larger fan has a projected flow of 111.9 m 3/s with a power consumption of 233 kW and the second smaller fan has a projected flow of 67 m 3/s with a power consumption of 84 kW.

13.6 Mine Services

13.6.1 Compressed Air

Compressed air is supplied underground through 2” (51 mm) diameter HDPE pipes. At the Flame and Moth, the compressed air is supplied by a fixed air compressor associated with the mill. In the case of Bermingham, compressed air is supplied by an air compressor located underground.

13.6.2 Dewatering

The Lucky Queen is located above the valley floor so total groundwater inflow is expected to be limited. Dewatering will still be required to remove service water from the underground. Bermingham and Flame and Moth are both expected to have higher groundwater flows. For the Flame and Moth, the maximum groundwater flow is expected to be 33 L/s. The Bermingham requires continual dewatering through the New Bermingham Portal, with discharge flows typically ranging between 3.0 and 10.0 L/s, a value of 11 L/s has been used for engineering purposes.

For all the mines, the dewatering strategy is to use electric submersible pumps or self-contained pump skids to collect water from sumps near the active mining areas and pump it in stages to the dirty water sump located on the ramp. Water is then pumped to the surface and directed to the water treatment plant installed near the portal. Water is treated to meet the effluent quality standards before being discharged to the ground.

13.6.3 Power

All the mines are connected to the site and provincial power grid. Primary power transmission underground is 4,160 V to mobile power centers located in strategic locations underground where voltages are stepped down to 600 V for final distribution.

13.6.4 Maintenance Facilities

For both Flame and Moth and Bermingham mines, the maintenance department has a fuel/lube truck, a mechanic’s service truck, a tractor, and access to a scissor lift and a boom truck.

In addition to the mobile equipment, the mine maintenance department is responsible for the stationary equipment consisting of air compressors, main ventilation fans, propane air heaters, underground electrical distribution system, and main dewatering pumps.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 283

| S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Most of the mobile equipment maintenance is performed in a surface shop constructed near each of the mine portals.

13.7 Mining Fleet

All mobile equipment is diesel-powered rubber-tired equipment owned by Hecla.

Flame and Moth and Bermingham mines use equipment of similar size, whereas the Lucky Queen will utilize smaller-scale units. In order to avoid purchasing a new fleet of equipment for the Lucky Queen mine development and production, a contractor is expected to be engaged for these purposes.

Table 13‑10 shows the underground equipment build-up by period and Table 13‑11 shows the currently owned surface mobile equipment fleet which includes pickups and light equipment such as pumps, light plants, and miscellaneous equipment at the site.

13.9 Operations

Operations are performed by Hecla personnel using the company’s owned equipment 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with 4 crews rotating to site and staying at the Hecla Flat Creek camp. All mining activities are performed using mechanized methods; with the exception of bolting in small section headings where bolting is performed off of scissor lifts with stoper drills and jacklegs or using dedicated bolting platforms. All mucking is performed by diesel-powered load-haul dump units (LHDs) mucking to diesel-powered underground haul trucks. For the Lucky Queen and Bermingham mines ore is hauled to the portal and stockpiled on the surface where it is re-handled by Hecla’s surface truck fleet and loaders. Due to the proximity of the mill to the Flame and Moth, the underground fleet hauls the ore directly to the mill ore pad. Waste is hauled to the nearest backfill site underground or, if there are none available, hauled to the surface and stockpiled.

13.10 Production Schedule

The overall production schedule is based on feeding a consistent 400 to 550 tpd to the centrally located mill. The operations were sequenced to maximize Net Present Value and to minimize the number of operations concurrently active whilst satisfying the mill throughput targets. All references to Ore in this section are exclusively the Probable Mineral Reserves outlined in Chapter 12.

13.11 Recommendations

The QP notes that the overall mine plan benefits from increased flexibility and working fronts as the mine matures and the capital development advances. In the initial years, there is an opportunity to further de-risk the overall LOM plan and better predict the operational performance of future mining zones by addressing the following items:

 Undertake a more detailed dilution and extraction study, including consideration of any existing reconciliation studies, to better quantify the extraction recovery, dilution, and other modifying factors that Hecla is currently applying to all production designs. Specifically, the final cut underneath a planned sill can be expected to have a higher dilution from CRF failure due to blasting cycles of the final lift and previous lift. Use the results of the above noted studies to determine the actions necessary to align mine production grades with the Mineral Reserve Estimates.

 Complete additional geotechnical assessments to determine the amenability of the orebody to more productive and less costly mining methods. There is an opportunity to trial stope mining methods in the Flame and Moth between 2024 and 2026 to refine the method and application without affecting the overall LOM plan.

 Complete additional optimization on the Mineral Reserve mine plan and de-risk the mine plan on a development basis by assessing the potential for slower than planned increases to efficiency and underground unit development operations. Complete additional scenario scheduling to better understand the risk and plan appropriately to meet the schedule.

 Continue evaluating the option of mining at Flame and Moth deposit earlier than planned as a large portion of the underground access has been completed and the mine is ready to produce ore with minimal development. This will assist with reducing the LOM plan risk by creating additional mining fronts with minimal upfront capital.

 Continue conducting definition diamond drilling throughout the remainder of the underground mining operation to convert Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources and increase the understanding of the mineralization. Doing so may result in increased Mineral Reserves near planned capital and operational development and reduce the overall capital development intensity of the schedule.

 Complete hydrogeological studies to better understand the sources of water at Flame and Bermingham

 Review mining plans and other relevant Hecla operations to define definitive actions to attain the planned improvements in mining productivity, daily development advance and associated costs over the first four years.

14. Processing and Recovery Methods

The Keno Hill is of a polymetallic silver-lead-zinc vein-type mineralization. Silver predominantly occurs in argentiferous galena and argentiferous tetrahedrite, and to a lesser content, as native silver, and the silver-bearing minerals polybasite, stephanite, and pyrargyrite. Lead occurs in galena and zinc in sphalerite in either an iron-rich or iron-poor variety. Other sulfides identified at the Property include pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite. Common gangue minerals include siderite, quartz, and calcite in decreasing order of abundance (RPA, 2017).

The Keno Hill District Mill is currently operating with a LOM average throughput of 500 tpd according to the approximately 11-year mine plan for this technical report. The initial mill throughput is 400 tpd and ramp up to 550 tpd in year 5. The existing District Mill feed is produced from the Bermingham at 400 tpd, then increased by 100 tpd from the Flame and Moth suppling 200 tpd during most of the LOM and followed by the processing of Lucky Queen ore near the end of the project life. Details on the mine plan and production schedule are found in Chapter 13.

The original process flowsheet has been modified accordingly to allow the increased feed capacity. The process modifications were based on additional metallurgical test work described in Section 10, the experience from previous operations, as well as mill modifications and upgrades. This section (Section 14) describes the major processing design criteria, the modified flowsheet including recent modifications and upgrades, a general process description, process unit operation description, and annual production estimates.

14.1 Process Unit Operation Description

The Keno Hill District Mill is based on a conventional sequential flotation process producing lead and zinc concentrates. The silver concentrates are high in silver which typically accounts for approximately 90% to 95% of the mill feed silver values since silver is strongly associated with lead minerals. Overall, silver represents 70% to 80% of the value of the ores in the District.

Ore is crushed and then processed in a conventional flotation mill producing two concentrates: a silver-lead concentrate (aka silver concentrate) and a zinc concentrate. Concentrates are thickened, filtered, and trucked off-site for sale. Tailings are also thickened, filtered, and stored in a dry stack tailing facility (DSTF) adjacent to the mill.

Process water is stored in the mill pond adjacent to the mill complex and recycled to the plant for varied applications. The primary makeup water source is from the Flame and Moth underground mine which is treated within the existing water treatment plant. Excess water is discharged to either of two nearby drainage basins, Christal Creek, or Lightning Creek once the permitted water quality is achieved.

14.2 Process Flowsheet and Description

14.2.1 Simplified Process Flowsheet

The simplified process flowsheet of the mill complex is shown in Figure 14‑1. The mill complex consists of the following process sections and unit operations:

 Primary and secondary crushing circuits with a radial stacker belt conveyor to transport the crushed ore to the covered fine ore stockpile.

 Draw down a pocket reclaiming the crushed ore from the covered fine ore stockpile.

 Two-stage grinding in a closed circuit with hydro-cyclones to produce a grinding product P80 size of 120 µm.

 A grinding classification circuit to produce a cyclone overflow to feed the lead rougher and rougher scavenger flotation circuit to recover lead and silver minerals. The process to produce lead rougher and lead rougher scavenger flotation concentrates which are reground to a P80 size of 30 µm.

 The reground lead rougher and lead rougher scavenger flotation concentrates are upgraded in three stages of cleaner flotation producing the final silver-bearing silver concentrate.

 The zinc rougher and the zinc rougher scavenger flotation circuit is fed by the lead rougher scavenger tailings and the lead 1st cleaner tailings to produce the zinc rougher concentrates and the final zinc rougher scavenger tailings.

 The zinc rougher concentrate is to be reground to a P80 size of 30 µm followed by upgrading in three stages of cleaner flotation. The cleaner circuit generates the final zinc concentrate and the zinc 1st cleaner scavenger tailings.

 Thickening and pressure filtration of the silver concentrate and the zinc concentrate.

 Thickening and pressure filtration of each of the zinc rougher scavenger and zinc 1st cleaner scavenger tailings, which are then disposed of on the surface as dry stack tailings underground as cemented backfill once the Cemented Rock Fill (CRF) plant is operating.

 A reagent preparation section.

 Utility distribution for compressed air and water distribution.

14.2.2 Run of Mine Ore Crushing, Ore Storage, and Reclaim

The crushing system is operated up to 12 h/d at a process rate of 50 t/h. The Run of Mine (ROM) ore is crushed in a two-stage crushing circuit closed with a vibrating screen. The final crushed product size P 80 is 12 mm. ROM ore from Bermingham is dumped onto a ROM ore stockpile and then into the primary jaw crusher. The hopper is equipped with a stationary grizzly with a 450 mm aperture opening to prevent oversized ore from entering the downstream jaw crusher.

The primary crushing products, joined by the secondary crushing discharge, feed the sizing screen to produce the final crushed product. The oversize product from the sizing screen feeds the secondary cone crusher. The crushed material is conveyed to a fine ore stockpile with 550 t live capacity. Crushed ore reclaim is achieved via a draw-down pocket located beneath the fine ore stockpile.

14.2.3 Primary Grinding Circuit

Crushed ore is reclaimed from the stockpile onto the ball mill feed conveyor belt at a nominal rate of 18.1 t per operating hour (434 tpd). The primary grinding circuit is a two-stage ball milling process producing a ground material with a P 80 size of 100 to 120 µm. Ore from the ball mill discharges into the feed chute of the primary No.1 ball grinding mill which is a heavy-duty tire-driven type grinding mill 1,800 mm in diameter and 3,600 mm long, with an installed power of 150 kW. The primary mill slurry is discharged into a pump box and then pumped to join the secondary No.2 ball mill discharge.

The combined streams are pumped to the classifying cyclones. The cyclone underflow returns as feed to the secondary ball mill, while the cyclone overflow reports to the flotation circuit. Reagents (3418A and

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 293

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

zinc sulfide) are added to the ball mill feed to suppress zinc minerals during the lead mineral flotation stage.

The ball mill feed conveyor belt is sampled every shift to provide a head assay of the feed to the plant.

14.2.4 Classification

The primary and secondary ball mill discharges are combined in a common pump box and then feed a hydro-cyclone pack. Two cyclones are installed, each with a diameter of 250 mm. Operating in a mode of one running and one standby, the cyclone undersize material returns to the secondary grind ball mill by gravity, while the cyclone overflow with a P 80 size between 100 and 120 µm gravity flows to the flotation circuit.

14.2.5 Lead Flotation Circuit

The lead flotation circuit produces a final silver concentrate through the stages of rougher flotation, rougher scavenger flotation, rougher scavenger concentrates regrinding, followed by three stages of cleaner flotation. Blower air is injected into each flotation cell mechanism. The reagents zinc sulfide, 3418A, SIPX, and MIBC are added to the circuit as required.

The flotation cells are existing units that were sized for the maximum laboratory-scale retention time for Bellekeno samples. Based on the locked cycle flotation test work completed by SGS, these cells are slightly oversized for the planned LOM mill feed which has lower lead head grades than the Bellekeno ore.

14.2.5.1 Lead Rougher and Rougher Scavenger Flotation

The cyclone overflow fraction from the primary grinding circuit is conditioned with the reagents 3418A and zinc sulfide in two agitated tanks. The pulp density is approximately 33% solids by weight. The residence time in the conditioning tanks is 5 minutes at the design volumetric flow rate.

The conditioned slurry then flows into the first of five 8 m 3 lead flotation tank cells with a total maximum residence time of 25 minutes based on test work. Should a shorter residence time be required, some of the cells can be taken off-line. Low-pressure blower air is injected into each cell mechanism to generate the froth for the flotation of lead and silver sulfide minerals.

The lead rougher concentrate from all the rougher cells and the lead rougher scavenger concentrate flow by gravity to a pump box and then feed the regrinding circuit. The lead rougher tailings report to the rougher scavenger flotation stage consisting of two 8 m 3 tank cells with a total maximum residence time

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

of 10 minutes. The rougher scavenger flotation tailings flow into a standpipe and are pumped to the zinc flotation circuit.

14.2.5.2 Lead Rougher Concentrate Regrind

The regrinding step prior to the lead 1 st cleaner flotation further liberates silver and lead minerals from the gangue and other sulfide minerals to improve product quality and metal recovery. The lead rougher scavenger concentrates are pumped to a regrind ball mill which is 1,050 mm in diameter and 1,400 mm long powered by an 18-kW motor and is operated in a closed circuit with two 100 mm cyclones. One cyclone is in operation at any time and classifies the reground slurry. The regrind cyclone overflow flows to the lead 1 st cleaner flotation cells while the cyclone underflow returns to the regrind ball mill for further grinding. The particle size target of the regrinding circuit is a P 80 size of about 30 µm.

14.2.5.3 Lead 1 st Cleaner Flotation

The reground lead rougher scavenger concentrate and the lead 2 nd cleaner flotation tailings are upgraded in the 1 st cleaner flotation stage. The cleaner flotation feed gravitates from the lead regrind cyclone overflow into the feed box of the first of three 3 m 3 1 st cleaner flotation cells where it is joined by the 2 nd cleaner flotation tailings pumped from a standpipe. The 1st cleaner tailings report to the first conditioning tank of the zinc rougher flotation circuit, while the concentrate from the 1 st cleaner stage feeds the 2 nd cleaner flotation stage. The major equipment used in the 1 st lead cleaner flotation circuit includes the following:

 Three 3 m 3 conventional flotation cells.

 One 1,050 mm diameter and 1,400 mm long tire-driven regrind ball mill with 18 kW installed power.

The 1 st cleaner flotation train has a total maximum residence time of 18 minutes. This residence time has been deemed adequate but can be reduced, if required, by taking flotation cells offline.

14.2.5.4 Lead 2 nd Cleaner Flotation

The lead 1 st cleaner concentrates and the lead 3 rd cleaner flotation tailings are upgraded in the 2 nd cleaner flotation stage. The 2 nd cleaner tailings are recycled back to the 1 st cleaner, while the 2 nd cleaner flotation concentrate feeds the lead 3rd cleaner stage. The feed to the 2 nd cleaner flotation circuit is the tailings from the 3 rd cleaner flotation cell and the 1 st cleaner concentrate. These cells are two 3 m 3 cells. Blower air is injected into each cell mechanism. The 2 nd cleaner flotation train has a total maximum residence

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 295

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

time of 15 minutes. This residence time has been deemed adequate but can be reduced, if required, by taking a flotation cell offline. The 2 nd cleaner flotation concentrate flows into a standpipe which transfers the slurry to the 3 rd cleaner flotation circuit.

14.2.5.5 Lead 3 rd Cleaner Flotation

The lead 2 nd cleaner concentrate is upgraded in the 3 rd cleaner flotation stage. The 3 rd cleaner tailings return by gravity to the 2 nd lead cleaner flotation stage, while the concentrate is pumped to the silver concentrate thickener for dewatering.

The cleaner flotation feed is pumped from the 2 nd cleaner circuit into the feed box of the 3 m 3 cleaner flotation cell. The 3 rd cleaner flotation cell has a residence time of 12 minutes. The 3 rd cleaner flotation concentrate flows into a standpipe, which transfers the slurry to the silver concentrate dewatering circuit. The 3 rd cleaner flotation tailings are recycled by gravity flow to the 2 nd cleaner flotation circuit.

14.2.6 Zinc Flotation Circuit

The zinc flotation circuit processes the tailings generated from the lead flotation circuit through the stages of rougher flotation, rougher scavenger flotation, rougher concentrate regrinding, followed by three stages of zinc cleaner flotation. Three products are produced, namely the final zinc concentrate, the zinc rougher scavenger tailings, and zinc 1 st cleaner scavenger tailings which are filtered and either stored in the dry stack tailings facility or used as backfill once the CRF plant is operating. Blower air is injected into each cell mechanism.

Reagents copper sulfide, SIPX, lime, and MIBC are added to the circuit as required. The flotation area is equipped with a dedicated spillage sump and pump for clean-up purposes. The flotation cells are existing units sized on the maximum laboratory-scale retention time for Bellekeno samples, which is more than the required residence time based on the locked cycle flotation tests.

14.2.6.1 Zinc Rougher Flotation

Prior to zinc flotation, the zinc rougher flotation feed materials, consisting of lead rougher scavenger tailings, lead 1 st cleaner tailings, and the returned zinc rougher scavenger tailings, are conditioned with copper sulfide to activate the depressed zinc minerals, and lime to suppress pyrite if required. The zinc rougher flotation stage generates a zinc rougher concentrate, and rougher scavenger flotation tailings which are low in pyrite and feed the corresponding dewatering circuit.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 296

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Two zinc flotation conditioning tanks are used in the operation. The conditioned slurry at a solids’ density of 29% flows into the feed box of the first of four 8 m 3 rougher flotation tank cells with a total residence time of 40 minutes. Test work has indicated that a maximum residence time of 30 minutes is adequate for the flotation of the zinc sulfide minerals. However, should a shorter residence time be required, some of the cells can be taken off-line.

The zinc rougher flotation concentrate is transferred to a pump box by gravity to feed the zinc rougher concentrate regrinding circuit. The zinc rougher flotation tailings flow by gravity into the zinc rougher scavenger flotation cell.

14.2.6.2 Zinc Rougher Concentrate Regrind

As for the silver concentrate regrinding, the zinc rougher regrinding further liberates lead and zinc minerals from gangue and other sulfide minerals to improve concentrate product quality and metal recovery. The zinc rougher concentrates are pumped to a regrind ball mill of 1,050 mm in diameter and 1,400 mm long powered by an 18-kW motor, which is operated in a closed circuit with two 100 mm cyclones in the classification circuit. In operation, one cyclone classifies reground slurries. The regrind cyclone overflow flows to the zinc 1 st cleaner flotation cells while the cyclone underflow returns to the zinc regrind ball mill. The P 80 particle size target of the regrinding circuit is around 30 µm.

14.2.6.3 Zinc 1 st Cleaner Flotation and Zinc 1 st Cleaner Scavenger Flotation

The zinc rougher flotation concentrate is further upgraded by three stages of cleaner flotation in a total of seven 3 m 3 conventional flotation cells. The 1 st cleaner scavenger flotation tailings have a high pyrite content, which is pumped to the No.2 dewatering circuit. The 2 nd and 3 rd cleaner tailings are recycled to the respective preceding cleaning stages by gravity flow. The zinc 3 rd cleaner concentrate is the final product of zinc concentrate which is dewatered prior to shipping.

The feed box of the zinc 1 st cleaner flotation feed receives three streams, namely:

 The zinc-regrinding cyclone overflows by gravity flow.

 The zinc 1 st cleaner scavenger flotation concentrates by pumping.

 The zinc 2 nd cleaner flotation tailings by gravity flow.

The 1 st cleaner flotation train has three 3 m 3 cells, which gives a total maximum residence time of 15 minutes. This residence time has been deemed adequate but can be reduced, if required, by taking flotation cells offline. The 1 st cleaner flotation concentrate flows into a standpipe, which transfers the slurry to the zinc 2 nd cleaner flotation circuit.

The zinc 1 st cleaner tailings report to a cleaner scavenger flotation cell which is one 3 m 3 tank with a total maximum residence time of 9 minutes. The cleaner scavenger flotation tailings flow into a standpipe and are pumped to the feed box of the zinc 1 st zinc flotation circuit.

14.2.6.4 Zinc 2 nd Cleaner Flotation

The zinc 1 st cleaner flotation concentrate is further upgraded in the second cleaner flotation stage consisting of two 3 m 3 conventional flotation cells.

The 2 nd cleaner flotation feed is pumped from the zinc 1 st cleaner flotation standpipe into the feed box of the first of two-zinc 2 nd cleaner stage flotation cells. The zinc 2 nd cleaner flotation train has a total maximum residence time of 15 minutes. This residence time has been deemed adequate but can be reduced, if required, by taking a flotation cell off-line. The 2 nd cleaner flotation concentrate flows into a standpipe which transfers the slurry to the 3 rd cleaner flotation circuit.

14.2.7 Silver and Zinc Concentrates Dewatering and Loadout

14.2.7.1 Silver Concentrate

The final lead flotation concentrate is discharged to the lead 3 rd cleaner concentrate standpipe and then pumped to the silver concentrate thickener. Flocculant is added as an aid in settling the solids. The thickener is a 3.05 m diameter high-rate unit fitted with an automated rake lifting mechanism and an auto-dilution system. It produces a thickener underflow density of 60% solids which are pumped to the silver concentrate filter feedstock tank. Thickener overflow solution flows into a lead process water collection tank and is pumped to the lead flotation circuit for re-use.

A 25 m 3 holding tank holds the thickener underflow silver concentrate prior to dewatering by using a pressure filter. The concentrate filter feed tank has a residence time of 10 hours to provide sufficient time for regular maintenance on the silver concentrate filter. The filter is a 1,000 mm by 1,000 mm pressure filter unit with 9 plates. The slurry is pumped into the filter chambers on a batch basis, and the solution is squeezed out by high-pressure air. Then air is blown through to dry the cake to attain the required moisture level of 8%.

The filter cake is discharged periodically onto a stockpile. Samples are tested to determine the moisture content of the filter cake for metallurgical mass balance purposes. Filtrate from the filter is returned to the concentrate thickener. The dewatered silver concentrate is discharged to the covered silver concentrate stockpile, which has a storage capacity of seven days of silver concentrate production.

Filtrate from the pressure filter is pumped back to the thickener feed well as dilution water. The concentrate thickener overflow is distributed to the lead flotation circuit as process water. The silver

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 298

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

concentrate dewatering area is equipped with a spillage sump for clean-up and recycling. Spillage is returned to the silver concentrate thickener.

14.2.7.2 Zinc Concentrate

The final zinc flotation concentrate is discharged to the zinc 3 rd cleaner concentrate standpipe and then pumped to the zinc concentrate thickener. Flocculant is added as an aid in settling the solids. The thickener is a 3.05 m diameter high-rate unit fitted with an automated rake lifting mechanism and an auto-dilution system. It produces a thickener underflow density of 60% solids, which are pumped to the zinc concentrate filter feedstock tank. The thickener overflow solution flows into a process water collection tank and is pumped to the zinc flotation circuit for re-use.

A 25 m 3 holding tank holds the thickener underflow zinc concentrate prior to dewatering by a pressure filter. The concentrate filter feed tank has a residence time of 10 hours to provide sufficient time for regular maintenance of the zinc concentrate filter. The filter is a 1,000 mm by 1,000 mm pressure filter unit with 9 plates. The slurry is pumped into the filter chambers on a batch basis, and the solution is squeezed out by high-pressure air. Then air is blown through to dry the cake to attain the required moisture level of 8%.

The filter cake is discharged periodically onto a concentrate stockpile. Samples are tested for the moisture content of the filter cake and to determine the concentrate grade used for metallurgical mass balance. Filtrate from the filter is returned to the zinc concentrate thickener. The dewatered zinc concentrate discharges to the covered zinc concentrate stockpile which has a storage capacity of approximately seven days of zinc concentrate production.

Filtrate from the pressure filter is pumped back to the thickener feed well as dilution water. The concentrate thickener overflow is distributed to the zinc flotation circuit as process water. The zinc concentrate dewatering area is equipped with a dedicated spillage sump and pump for clean-up purposes. Spillage is returned to the zinc concentrate thickener.

14.2.7.3 Tailings Dewatering and Handling

The tailing’s thickening area is equipped with one dedicated spillage sump and pump for clean-up purposes. The spillage is returned to one of the two tailings thickeners.

The zinc 1 st cleaner scavenger tailings feed the No.2 tailings thickener where it is combined with a flocculant solution to aid the settling. The thickener is a 3.05 m in diameter high-rate type, allowing for the thickener underflow density of 58% solids to be produced ahead of the filtration stage. Thickener overflow solution flows via gravity into the water polishing/settling pond. Thickener underflow slurry is pumped to a tailings storage tank and then pumped to No.2 tailings filter presses for dewatering. The

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 299

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

filtrate solution from the filter press is collected in a filtrate standpipe and returned to the No.2 tailings thickener as dilution water.

Similarly, the zinc rougher scavenger tailings standpipe feeds the No. 1 tailings thickener, where it is combined with flocculant to aid settling. The thickener is 6.1 m diameter, and high-rate type, allowing for a thickener underflow density of 58% solids to be produced ahead of the filtration stage. Thickener overflow solution flows via gravity into the water polishing/settling pond. Thickener underflow slurry is pumped to a tailings storage tank and then pumped to the No. 1 tailings filter press for dewatering. Filtrate solution from the filter is collected into a filtrate standpipe and returned to the No. 1 thickener as dilution water.

Both tailings’ filters discharge onto the filtered tailings belt conveyer. The tailings filter products have a greater than 88% solids content, which is suitable for disposal by truck from the stockpile to either the underground as cemented tailings backfill once the CRF plant is operating or the dry stack tailings facility.

The major equipment for tailings management includes:

 One 3,050 mm diameter tailings thickener (No.2 Tailings Thickener).

 One 6,100 mm diameter tailings thickener (No. 1 Tailings Thickener).

 One 1,250 mm by 1,250 mm pressure filter with 23 plates (No. 2 Tailings Filter Press).

 One 1,250 mm by 1,250 mm pressure filter with 23 plates (No. 1 Tailings Filter Press).

14.2.7.4 Reagent Handling and Storage

Most reagents are received in bulk in palletized bags, chemical containers, drums, or bulk bags. The covered and curbed reagent storage and preparation area is located adjacent to the flotation area. A forklift with a drum handler attachment is used for reagent handling, while the electric hoist servicing the reagent area lifts the reagents to the respective reagent mixing area located above the mixed reagent storage area. The reagent system includes unloading and storage facilities, mixing tanks, transfer pumps, and feeding equipment. Table 14‑1 shows the reagents currently being specified for use in the process plant.

14.2.8 Mill Changes

No major changes occurred to the mill complex as built in 2010 during its initial operation period. During the temporary shutdown in 2013, a series of corrective maintenance projects were completed in preparation for the restarting the mill. The major maintenance works completed at that time included rebuilding all the flotation cells and pumps. The grinding circuit was upgraded with the installation of a second ball mill among a cyclone cluster replacing a Derrick screen deck to be able to handle increased throughput. Lead and zinc rougher concentrate regrind circuits were installed including a ball mill and a classification stage for each of the concentrates. The final tailings press filter was replaced with a larger unit to increase capacity.

In 2018, a water treatment circuit was installed inside the existing mill building to treat water from Flame and Moth, the water treatment consists of a clarifier and reagent addition system (lime and flocculant) for treating the water prior to discharge or recycle into the mill process water tank.

14.2.8.1 Grinding Circuit

Three specific modifications have been completed to ensure mill throughput including:

 Replacement of the existing ball mill separation screen to classifying cyclones.

 Modification of the existing ball mill discharge.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 301

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Addition of one ball mill to the grinding circuit in series with the existing ball mill in an open circuit configuration.

The modifications were based on both grinding test work and a review of the planned mill feed/throughput for the LOM. Starkey & Associates (S&A) of Oakville, Ontario, performed a grinding circuit throughput analysis in 2013. In the investigation, the Bond rod mill work index was found as 12.4 kWh/t; while the Bond ball mill work index was measured as 10.20 kWh/t. Both the working indices are noticeably higher than the 2009 design of 8.7 kWh/r (RWi) and 9.5 kWh/t (BWi).

The S&A assessment was expanded using International Metallurgical in 2018 and formed the basis for the changes to the mill equipment. International Metallurgical evaluated the conversion of the existing grate discharge of the primary ball mill to supplement the second ball mill installation. The assessment also included the replacement of the vibrating Derrick screen with two cyclones. Based on an overall Bond Work index of 11.0 kWh/t from previous operations and grindability testing (S&A, 2013), the two-stage ball mill grinding performance was estimated to reduce the feed size F80 of 6 mm to 80% passing 120 µm in the cyclone overflow.

The QP reviewed the planned grinding circuit, which was comprised of two identical overflow ball mills, each with a dimension of 1.8 m diameter x 3.6 m, and an installed power of 150 kW. Estimation of the feed size F80 at 10 mm and an overall BWi of 10.5 kWh/t, the two-stage ball mill grinding circuit will achieve 600 tpd. The particle size of the ground product will contain 80% passing 100 to 120 µm.

14.2.8.2 Flotation Circuit

Two major modifications were completed in the flotation circuit based on the recent test results. The first modification was to divert the lead 1 st cleaner scavenger tailings to feed the zinc rougher flotation circuit.

The second modification was to add two regrind ball mills to the current lead and zinc flotation circuit, one for each of the lead and zinc concentrates prior to the cleaning stage. This was based on an analysis of the metallurgical test work conducted from 2016 to 2019 on representative samples of both the Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits, and composites thereof (Section 10). Regrinding of each of the lead and zinc rougher concentrates improved the grade of the final zinc concentrate and lowered the zinc reporting to silver concentrate. This was particularly beneficial for the Flame and Moth ore.

14.2.8.3 Dewatering Circuit

Plate and frame pressure filters were used for the dewatering of both the lead and zinc concentrates and the tailings’ products. The circuit was modified to replace the smaller of the two existing filter presses (1,000 x 1,000 mm, 9 plates) with a larger filter press (1,250 x 1,250 mm, 23 plates) to mirror the size of the second filter press.

14.3 Process Design Criteria

The District Mill is designed for 400 tpd mill throughput, and the plant operates at 400 tpd for the first five years before ramping up to 550 tpd. The mill complex processes ore at a 75% availability for the crushing plant based on one 12-hour shift per day, and 92% availability for the grinding and flotation plant operating 24 hours per day.

The primary grinding is conducted in two stages with a target grind size P 80 of 100 to 120 µm. Concentrate regrind mills are added to each of the lead and zinc flotation circuits to further liberate lead and zinc minerals. The regrinding particle size P 80 was designed as 30 µm for the lead rougher concentrates and 30 µm for the zinc concentrates. The key design criteria are shown in Table 14‑3.

14.4 Summary of Mass and Water Balances

14.4.1 Plant Services

14.4.1.1 Air Supply

The air service systems supply the required air in the following areas.

 Flotation: low-pressure air for flotation cells is provided by air blowers.

 Filtering: high-pressure air for filter pressing and drying of concentrates and tailings is provided by a dedicated air compressor.

 Crushing: high-pressure air is provided for the baghouse filters in the crushing facility.

 Instrumentation: dried and oil-free instrument air comes from the plant air compressors and is stored in a dedicated air receiver.

Two 365 cfm compressors, each with 75 kW motors, supply the high-pressure air used in plant operations and instrumentation. The compressed air is filtered and then stored in dedicated air receivers. For instrumentation air, an additional drying stage is required. A low-pressure centrifugal blower is used to supply low-pressure air to the various flotation circuits.

14.4.1.2 Instrumentation and Process Control

The plant process control system consists of individual locally mounted control panels located near the main equipment. The mill control system includes an Allen Bradley PLC (programmable logic controller) that provides local and centralized start/stop control. Major process performance including throughput, mill power draw, and motor variable speeds are displayed on the centralized computer within the mill

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 306

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

operator control room. Alarm annunciation is local to the major equipment or located on the local control panel. The local control panels act as a marshaling point for monitoring and control of the nearby equipment and instrumentation. It also acts as a distribution point of power for instrumentation.

14.4.1.3 Quality Control

A metallurgical and assay laboratory conducts daily quality control and optimizes process performance. The assay laboratory is equipped with the necessary analytical instruments to provide all the routine assays for the mine samples, the geological samples, the process plant samples, and samples taken for environmental monitoring. The metallurgical laboratory undertakes all basic test work to monitor metallurgical performance and to improve the process flowsheet and efficiencies.

14.5 Products and Recoveries

According to the current LOM plan, three deposits are considered to provide the future mill feed, namely, the Flame and Moth (26% of the total mill feed), Bermingham (69%), and Lucky Queen (5%).

The concentrate grades and recoveries are based on the test work and recovery relationships presented in Section 10. As shown in Table 14‑6, the overall LOM silver concentrate has an expected grade of 15,269 g/t Ag and 45% Pb. The zinc concentrate is expected to contain a grade of 47% Zn and 997 g/t Ag. Based on this distribution and metal projections given in Section 10, the LOM concentrate production is provided in Table 14‑7.

The locked cycle testing completed in 2017 and 2018 was analyzed for penalty elements including: As, Bi, Sb, Hg, F, SiO 2, Mn, Fe, Cd, and Zn (in Pb). Based on initial smelter terms discussions, the silver concentrate only showed slightly elevated As, Bi, and Sb, while the zinc concentrate only showed slightly elevated As and Cd. No penalties were applied to the payable metals in this technical report based on the predicted metallurgical performance. Details of the annual and LOM total concentrate production and metal recoveries to concentrates are shown in Table 14‑7 and Table 14‑8.

14.6 Recommendations

The QP considers that there is an opportunity to improve the level of detail of the metallurgical predictions and particularly the concentrate production at a month-to-month operational level. Further locked cycle tests at the next stage of study are recommended for samples representing the Flame and Moth deposit and different blends according to the LOM production plan. There may be an opportunity to improve the concentrates grades with further testing, particularly of the zinc concentrate. Additional metallurgical testing at different head grades would also support the approach to capping recoveries, particularly for the comportment of lead to concentrates at lower head grade mill feed. In addition, further hardness tests are recommended on these samples to verify potential grindability variations for future mill feeds. It is also recommended that testing of the increased plant throughout above the 400 tpd be done in the first year of operation to identify potential bottlenecks and confirm requirements for mill modifications to achieve the 550 tpd throughput. Sedgman recommends that Hecla perform a series of debottlenecking exercises and productivity tests on the mill prior to and well in advance of the expected throughput increases. This will help to de-risk the production profile and ensure a smooth ramp up.

15. Infrastructure

15.1 Access Roads

15.1.1 Off-Site Facilities

The Keno Hill Mine is located in central Yukon, near the community of Keno City. Keno Hill is approximately 452 highway kilometers or approximately 5 hours by road north of Whitehorse via Yukon Highway 2 and Highway 11. Road access to the project is maintained year-round by the Yukon Government, Department of Highways. The site operations are supported by an existing office and administrative building located in Whitehorse.

The nearest airport with scheduled service is the Mayo Airport, located approximately 55 kilometers south of the site. Charter flights between Whitehorse and Mayo also utilize this airport.

15.1.2 Area Haul Road System

The former operator, Alexco, has constructed a series of access and haul roads to route mine traffic around the Keno City community (Figure 15‑1). All traffic between Elsa and the mill facility is routed along the Christal Lake Road and subsequently the Bellekeno haul road. The Bermingham traffic uses the Bermingham access road, Calumet Road, and a short section of the Duncan Creek Road (~3 km) between the mill and the Bermingham deposit.

Heavy truck traffic from Lucky Queen will be routed along the Keno City bypass road to/from the Bellekeno haul road. The bypass road is approximately 2.1 km long and six to nine meters wide as per Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board regulations and the identified haul road type.

15.2 Electrical Power Supply and Distribution

The Keno Hill Mine is supplied with electrical power from a hydroelectric plant near Mayo and a connection to the Yukon-wide electrical grid.

The Mayo hydro facility was expanded in 2011 which increased generation capacity from 5 megawatts to 15 megawatts. The power distribution grid was also upgraded from Pelly Crossing to Stewart Crossing during the same time. The power distribution line from Mayo to McQuesten was completed in early 2021 to replace the 65-year-old line and to add system protection equipment. There is ample power supply on the grid to operate in the future at 550 tpd.

A new 69 kV/4.16 kV 3 MVA substation was installed to deliver power to the mill facility, Flame and Moth, and associated infrastructure. The substation houses a primary 69 kilovolt – 600-volt step-down transformer and electrical distribution infrastructure. The substation is enclosed by a 28 by 15.5-meter security fence.

Hecla owns several substations in the area, including the Elsa substation, the Onek substation, and the Bellekeno 625 portal substation. Hecla also owns the transmission line connecting the latter two. Power for the Flame and Moth is now provided exclusively by the Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) electrical distribution system.

Bermingham power is fed from the Ruby substation that has 69kV/4.16kV 3 MVA capacity. The main transmission line is via a surface teck cable that runs up the slope from the Ruby substation to the mine site (shown in Figure 15‑6).

Power for the camp is supplied from the local grid that runs through Elsa to Keno City.

15.3 Communications

Communications are via satellite with good bandwidth, optimized internet for the operations network, and cell phone coverage. Cell phone boosters are installed in many locations to provide enhanced coverage. Mobile VHF radios are carried by most personnel, and available in all surface and most underground vehicles, as well as base radios in all buildings at the site. A voice-over IP (VoIP) telephone network is also available.

15.4 On-Site Infrastructure

The District Mill facility is a centrally located complex serving the Keno Hill Mine. The current facilities at the District Mill facility include mine and mill offices, male and female dry facilities, an assay lab, first aid

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 315

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

facilities, and the mill and DSTF complex (Figure 15‑4). Flame and Moth mine portal is also located in this area.

Other existing infrastructure at the site includes:

 A network of public and private roads connecting the mines, process plants, and other facilities including the Silver Trail Highway.

 Administration, maintenance, and camp facilities near the town of Elsa.

 Mine workings and infrastructure including water treatment at the Bellekeno.

 Mine workings and minor surface buildings at the Lucky Queen.

 Portal and decline development at both Flame and Moth and Bermingham.

 Waste rock storage facility at the Lucky Queen, Bellekeno, and Bermingham.

 Crushing plant and flotation processing plant.

 DSTF adjacent to the process plant.

 Process and potable water sources.

 Electrical power available in the area from the Yukon Electrical Company Limited grid.

Mine surface and underground infrastructure are currently in serviceable condition and are in use.

The site layout for each property at Keno Hill is presented below as follows:

15.5 Water Management

15.5.1 Mine Water

15.5.1.1 Bellekeno

The Bellekeno Mine dewatering pump was halted on October 15, 2021, at the completion of planned mining, and the mine workings have been allowed to flood. The mine was put into temporary closure on December 15, 2021.

Currently, mine water within the Bellekeno Mine has risen to the level where it is reporting to the water treatment plant (WTP) and treatment ponds. The Bellekeno 625 adit began producing water on March 22, 2023, with water reaching the treatment plant. Discharge from the treatment ponds to the environment began on May 16, 2023.

15.5.1.2 Lucky Queen

The new workings at Lucky Queen will not intersect the historical workings and will be above the current groundwater table, as understood at present. However, the new workings will connect with the 500-level adit, and, therefore, any water from this new area will be allowed to mix with water from the historical area. The Water Licence will require an amendment to commence mining at Lucky Queen.

There have been no mining or development activities at Lucky Queen since 2014. The Lucky Queen 500 level drift is currently draining groundwater at a rate of approximately 1 L/s which is directed to an unlined settling pond located outside the portal. This water is predominantly clean groundwater that does not require treatment and meets direct effluent quality standards.

15.5.1.3 Flame and Moth

The majority of the Flame and Moth mine workings are expected to be below the water table; therefore, development of the Flame and Moth mine requires continual dewatering through the Flame and Moth adit. However, the portal has been developed approximately 20 m above the water table so that there should be no long-term discharge from the site.

Hydrogeologic studies and water balance estimates indicate a potential adit discharge during the production of 2,912 m 3/day (33 L/s) when the mine reaches its deepest levels. Water Licence QZ18-044 authorizes the Flame and Moth mine to discharge up to 3,024 m 3/d (35 L/s).

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 322

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Water quality encountered in the underground workings is generally compliant except for some metals (current groundwater wells show some iron and zinc), and with elevated levels of ammonia and total suspended solids from underground mining activities.

Water that is dewatered from the proposed workings is pumped to the surface and directed to the water treatment circuit located in the mill facility. Since August 2018 there has been effluent discharged from the water treatment system to Lightning Creek, with effluent flows not exceeding 20 L/s.

15.5.1.4 Onek

There have been no mining or development activities at Onek. No current dewatering is occurring at Onek.

15.5.1.5 Bermingham

The new underground workings at Bermingham will not be connected to the historical underground workings. The Bermingham requires continual dewatering through the New Bermingham Portal, with discharge flows typically ranging between 3.0 and 11.0 L/s. The WTP was designed to accommodate a maximum flow of 14 L/s (Alexco, 2021b). Water Licence QZ18-044 authorizes the Bermingham to discharge up to 1,200 m 3/d, or the equivalent of 13.9 L/s.

Management of mine inflows at Bermingham is via underground sumps and pumps. Water that is dewatered from the workings is pumped to the surface and directed to the water treatment plant installed near the portal.

Water is treated to meet the effluent quality standards before being discharged to the ground. If excess water accumulates in either of the reactive rock storage areas (P-AML WRSF or the temporary ore/P-AML pad), the water is collected and transported to the water treatment plant.

The New Bermingham WTP discharges to the ground in the upper No Cash Creek catchment.

15.5.2 Water Treatment

15.5.2.1 Bellekeno 625 Existing Water Treatment Facility

Adit drainages from Bellekeno have neutral pH levels but elevated total zinc concentrations. The Bellekeno 625 Water Treatment Facility (WTF, Figure 15‑2) is in operation and is effective in treating Bellekeno mine water to remove metals and ammonia prior to discharge. Treatment for metals is likely

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 323

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

to continue over the long term, and these costs are included in the approved Reclamation and Closure Plan (RCP) for the Bellekeno.

The conventional WTP at Bellekeno 625 is designed to treat and discharge a maximum flow rate of 10 L/s. The mine water reports to a circular rapid mix tank where it is mixed with lime slurry and, if required, a coagulant. From the rapid mix tank, water passes into the first lined settling pond (Pond 1), where the majority of total suspended solids (TSS) and metal hydroxide flocculants settle to the bottom of the pond in the form of a sludge. Treated mine water from Pond 1 decants into Pond 2, which allows for additional settling prior to being discharged.

In 2022, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), in the form of molasses, was introduced into the mine workings to facilitate microbe growth and fuel in situ treatment.

Once treatment is established underground, the setting ponds will be converted to a passive treatment system (bioreactor) for treatment of long-term adit drainage and the mine pool will be treated in situ.

Sludge from the Bellekeno 625 WTF has been disposed of into a cell on the surface of the Valley Tailings as authorized under QML-0009. The sludge from Bellekeno 625 that is stored in the Valley Tailings cell is kept separate from the sludge generated at the other treatment facilities. The sludge containment cells are not lined in order to allow water to exfiltrate from the cells.

15.5.2.2 Lucky Queen

There is currently no water use license for Lucky Queen so there are no effluent water quality requirements. Hecla currently monitors the drainage from the 500 level adit. Surface water diversion infrastructure (berms, ditches) will be maintained as appropriate to manage runoff and limit erosion.

15.5.2.3 Flame and Moth

The Flame and Moth underground portal is adjacent to the mill. There are two water management ponds at the mill, one for water treatment effluent and the other for processing water.

15.5.2.3.1 Flame and Moth Pond

The Flame and Moth Pond is located adjacent to the mill pond and serves as a final polishing step for effluent from the water treatment plant. This pond can treat all the water pumped from the Flame and Moth portal. The clarifier overflow water from inside the mill building gravity flows via a high-density 152 mm HDPE insulated pipe into the Flame and Moth Pond. The water is then pumped from the pond to

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 324

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

either the Lightning Creek or Christal Creek discharge points. Discharge into Christal Creek reports to ground, while discharge into Lightning Creek is into surface water.

The Flame and Moth Pond was constructed with an engineered fill embankment.

15.5.2.3.2 Mill Pond

The mill process pond is located downgradient from the mill building. It is used to collect the seepage and drainage from around the mill, the mill dewatering circuits, and the Dry Stack Tailings Facility (DSTF). The pond contains and manages the process water balance required for the milling operation.

Thickener overflow water from inside the mill building gravity flows via a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulated pipe into the mill process pond. Sludge that accumulates in the mill process water pond is dredged into filtering geotextile sludge bags within a lined area and hauled underground for disposal when dried.

Process makeup water is pumped from the pond to a 7 m diameter by 7 m high process water storage tank for makeup and recycling in the milling process. The mill process pond is 32 by 79 meters in dimension with a total design capacity of 4,340 m 3 based on a 0.4 m freeboard.

Studies are underway to determine if the DSTF can accommodate the inclusion of sludge from the Flame and Moth WTP. If positive, the results will be reported in updated Tailings Management Plans.

15.5.2.4 Onek

Surface water diversion infrastructure (berms, ditches) will be maintained as appropriate to manage surface runoff from entering the decline and limit erosion on site.

15.5.2.5 Bermingham

A conventional water treatment plant using lime addition for metals removal and breakpoint chlorination for ammonia treatment is located adjacent to the Bermingham portal. The mine effluent is pumped from the underground to a reactor tank on the clarifier. The underflow sludge reports to geotextile bags where it is filtered. Flow from the geotextile bags reports to the site’s water treatment pond (Figure 15‑6). Overflow water from the clarifier is directed to the settling pond. Decant from the settling pond gravity flows through a pipe in the access road and discharges into a settling box and cascades down a rip rap face.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 325

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

The water chemistry at Bermingham is reviewed regularly to assess long-term water chemistry. Dissolved arsenic concentrations have been consistently below discharge limits in 2022 and are not expected to increase in the long term.

15.5.3 Mill Water Supply

The majority of the water used in the mill is recycled from one of two water management ponds, Flame and Moth Pond and Mill Pond (Figure 15‑4) and is supplied primarily via a submersible pump. The Flame and Moth Pond is permitted to discharge and has appropriate environmental monitoring points.

The details on both ponds are provided in Subsection 15.5.2.3.

The mill water supply is used for processing stream dilution as well as by the plant clean-up hosing stations. Filtered process water is used to supply gland service water for all centrifugal water and slurry pumps in the plant.

15.5.4 Receiving Environment

The site is permitted to discharge water from both the Flame and Moth Pond and from the different mines. The Water Licence has varying standards for discharge water chemistry depending on the receiving environment. There is a substantial network of environmental monitoring stations, combined with many years of data and water modeling that shows that operations are not constrained by the net positive water balance, although water must be carefully managed across the site. Details are documented in the issued Water Licence QZ18-044. An adaptive management plan has also been designed to guide responses to unforeseen or contingency events regarding the water quality in the receiving environment.

15.6 Waste Rock Management

Studies conducted throughout KHM provide a detailed foundation for understanding the weathering behavior or ‘geoenvironmental’ characterization of rock in Keno Hill. These studies were used to derive a classification system for waste rock management and inform the Waste Rock Management Plan required by the Quartz Mining Licence QML-0009. All waste rock brought to the surface is classified as Non-Acid Metal Leaching (N-AML) or Potentially-Acid Metal Leaching (P-AML) based on field screening criteria developed for the individual deposits as described in the Waste Rock Management Plan (Alexco, 2022b). Geochemical screening criteria are defined for each deposit, and proportions of P-AML and N-AML material by rock type are estimated to plan materials handling and meet license conditions for the proposed development activities.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 326

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Most of the waste rock excavated is expected to be N-AML. Waste rock classified as N-AML will be stored in designated locations at each of the mine sites.

P-AML waste rock (mainly pyrite-rich graphitic schist) is categorized as waste rock and mineralized waste rock of no economic interest with an increased likelihood of acidic or metal leaching. P-AML is stored in designated P-AML waste rock storage facilities or underground as a cemented backfill within excavated production zones. Any water that enters a P-AML waste rock storage facility is collected and treated. Additionally, monitoring the upgrade and downgrade of each P-AML facility is done as part of ongoing site monitoring.

Table 15‑1 provides a summary of the waste rock stockpile permitted limits. These permit limits are consistent with the current Water Licence QZ18-044.

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 15‑ – Waste Rock Storage by Deposit.

Stockpiles | Material Type | Permit Limit (tonnes)
Waste | Flame and Moth | P-AML | 12,000
N-AML | 125,000
Bermingham | P-AML | 16,000
N-AML | 190,000

15.6.1 Bellekeno Waste Rock Storage Facilities and Disposal Areas

15.6.1.1 P‐AML Waste Rock Storage Facilities

P-AML waste rock previously mined from the Bellekeno mine was placed in a lined temporary Waste Rock Storage Facility (WRSF) located south of the Bellekeno East portal (Figure 15‑2). The facility was designed according to the approved generic design (EBA, 2008). During the temporary closure of Bellekeno between Q3 2013 and Q4 2020, the P-AML waste rock stored was transported underground. The temporary WRSF liner was removed and placed underground in 2021. Recontouring and revegetation are taking place with appropriate growth media and seed mixes.

15.6.1.2 N‐AML Waste Rock Disposal Area

A Waste Rock Disposal Area (WRDA) was proposed to be constructed along the northeast flank of Sourdough Hill, northwest of the current Bellekeno 625 waste rock storage areas. In 2020, dewatering commenced in Q2, and the mine production resumed in Q4. Mine production ceased in Q4 2021. The Bellekeno WRDA has not been constructed because most of the N-AML waste rock generated from the

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 327

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Bellekeno mine between Q4 2020 and Q4 2021 has been used for road construction material with a lesser amount for underground backfill. The Bellekeno mine is not included in the current Life of Mine (LOM) plan, and therefore there is no scheduled requirement for the construction of a Bellekeno WRDA.

15.6.1.3 Bellekeno 625 Waste Rock Dump

The Bellekeno 625 waste rock dump (Figure 15‑2) is a historic facility that is included in this Reclamation and Closure Plan (RCP) under the designation of the Bellekeno Production Unit. Reclamation and closure of the Bellekeno 625 WRDA will include cleanup of equipment on the top surface of the WRDA, pulling back the crests with an excavator followed by scarification and revegetation of the flat surface of the WRDA. Long-term road access remains for pickup traffic to the Bellekeno 625 adit given it drains and inspections are required during the post-closure monitoring and maintenance period.

15.6.2 Lucky Queen Waste Rock Storage and Disposal Areas

15.6.2.1 P‐AML Waste Rock Storage Facilities

A lined temporary P-AML storage facility is planned to be constructed near the portal. This will be used during the initial development stages. P-AML rock stored within the temporary facility will be moved back underground as a backfill as the mine transitions into production. All P-AML waste rock will be re-handled back underground prior to closure. The mine plans for Lucky Queen are still preliminary and it should be noted that Lucky Queen does not have the required water license to begin development.

15.6.2.2 N‐AML Waste Rock Disposal Area

N-AML will be used for general construction and access road repairs and surface capping or placed into the onsite N-AML WRDA. N-AML material may also be placed underground as mine backfill, as required. The existing disturbance at Lucky Queen N-AML WRDA will be recontoured by pulling the crests back with an excavator followed by scarification and revegetation of the flat surface of the WRDA.

15.6.2.3 Lucky Queen Historic Waste Rock Dumps

Terrestrial reclamation of historic liabilities at Lucky Queen is currently under the scope of the District Closure Plan.

15.6.3 Flame and Moth Waste Rock Storage and Disposal Areas

15.6.3.1 Flame and Moth P‐AML Waste Rock Storage Facilities

A lined temporary P-AML storage facility has been constructed near the portal entrance (up to 16,000 tonnes) and is shown in Figure 15‑4. This was used during the initial development which has been completed. The current plan enables all P-AML development rock to remain underground, and the P-AML rock stored within the temporary facility will be moved back underground as a backfill. All P-AML waste rock will be re-handled back underground prior to closure.

15.6.3.2 Flame and Moth N-AML Waste Rock Storage Facilities

A N-AML waste rock disposal area will not be built for Flame and Moth as the rock will either be used for construction or used as a backfill. N-AML materials may be used for the construction of portal pad and laydown area, expanded coarse ore stockpile, mill yard expansion, new haul road to crusher, and construction of the toe berm and base layer for DSTF expansion.

15.6.4 Onek Waste Rock Storage Facilities and Disposal Areas

15.6.4.1 P‐AML Waste Rock Storage Facilities

The Onek deposit is not currently in the Keno Hill LOM plan so no Onek P-AML waste dumps are planned.

15.6.4.2 N‐AML Waste Rock Disposal Area

The Onek deposit is not currently in the Keno Hill LOM plan so no Onek N-AML WRDA is planned.

15.6.4.3 Onek Historic Waste Rock Dumps

Terrestrial reclamation of historic liabilities at Onek is currently under the scope of the District Closure Plan. A P-AML WRSF was constructed on the historic Onek waste rock dump to the north of the Onek historic open pit (Figure 15‑5) for advanced exploration and production at Bellekeno. Although constructed, no P-AML rock has been brought to the surface and stored from the development of the

Onek decline. N-AML Development rock from Onek was used for the construction of the portal area laydown yard and haul road switchbacks.

15.6.5 Bermingham Waste Rock Storage/Disposal Areas

Bermingham P-AML and N-AML waste rock storage facilities are indicated in Figure 15‑6.

15.6.5.1 Bermingham P‐AML Waste Rock Storage Facilities

A temporary P-AML storage facility has been constructed on the historic Bermingham waste rock dump. This and a secondary P-AML WRSF have been used during the initial development. Currently, the P-AML rock is used for underground backfill. The P-AML rock stored within the temporary facility will also be moved back underground when it can be used for the backfill. Thus, all P-AML waste rock will be re-handled back underground prior to closure.

15.6.5.2 Bermingham N‐AML Waste Rock Storage Facilities

An N-AML waste rock from the Bermingham (Figure 15‑6) has been used for the construction of portal pads, laydown areas, and roads at the Bermingham as is allowed by the Water Licence QZ18-044.

15.7 Tailings

Hecla employs Dry Stack Tailings technology for the management and long-term storage of tailings.

15.7.1 Background

In June 2023 Tetra Tech issued for review a Tailing Management Plan (TMP) for Dry Stack Tailings Facility (DSTF). Prior to this, the following engineering design work has been completed (Tetra Tech, 2023):

 Preliminary design for Phase 1 of the DSTF completed between 2008 and 2010 (EBA 2008, 2010a, and 2010b).

 Detailed Phase 1 design completed in 2011 (EBA 2011).

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 330

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Phase 1b design completed in 2013 (EBA 2013) as an expansion to Phase 1 to accommodate the permitted tailings volume.

 Preliminary design for Phase 2 of the DSTF completed between 2013 and 2015 (EBA 2013 and Tetra Tech 2015).

Construction and operation of the Phase 1 area have generally progressed per the 2011 detailed design. The changes in the mine planning led to the entire Phase 1 footprint not being constructed. An area included in the footprint immediately north of the mill is now used as a fuel storage area, turnaround, and laydown area.

Monitoring instrumentation was installed during the design and construction of Phase 1, consisting of ground temperature cables (GTCs), slope indicators (SIs), and one standpipe piezometer. Data was collected over the years since installations and the performance of Phase 1 to date has been considered in the design of Phase 2.

The tailings have a low potential for acid rock drainage and metal leaching (Ensero, 2020). While there is some variability in neutralizing potential (NP) between tailings sourced from different areas of the mine site, the bulk NP of the tailings mix is sufficiently high that long-term acid generation is not anticipated.

The composition of the tailings is subject to the milling and filtering processes; however, the particle size distribution of the tailings is typically consistent.

15.7.2 Overview

The DSTF Phase 2 expansion is approved and included in the amended QML-0009 Revision 7 and Water Licence QZ18-044. These licenses allow for up to 907,000 t of dewatered tailings to be placed at the DSTF.

The existing DSTF presently holds a volume of 223,000 t, or 106,000 m 3, and covers an area of approximately 2.4 hectares. The ultimate proposed DSTF capacity is approximately 881,000 t, or 385,000 m 3, will cover an area of 5.5 hectares, and is designed to provide for storage and confinement of the tailings. The DTSF footprint is shown in Figure 15‑7.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 331

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 15‑ – Overall DSTF Plan.

The Phase 2 expansion is located immediately south and southwest of the existing Phase 1 and adjacent to the mill. The area is mostly undeveloped and undisturbed, except for a waste rock storage area along the western edge of the footprint, and existing roadways along the footprint perimeters. Immediately north and northwest of Phase 2 is the Keno City waste dump and access road, respectively.

The DSTF is lined and any surface runoff entering the DSTF area is managed through the outer diversion berms, runoff collection ditches, and the water collection pond. The water collection pond was excavated into the existing ground and lined with an HDPE geomembrane liner. The pond capacity is 3,500 m 3.

Surface water within the DSTF is managed with the construction of the drainage blanket and ensuring the tailings stack is graded to reduce surface erosion and direct surface water to areas that drain away from the facility.

On the North side of Phase 1, the drainage system existed from previous years. In the fall of 2023, Phase 1b foundation, lining, toe buttress, and drainage were constructed to allow for designed tailings placement in 2023 and 2024. The toe buttress has a drainage system to allow for proper drainage at the toe of the South side of DSTF Phase 1.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 332

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Site preparation and foundation requirements, as well as all other conditions regarding placement and compaction of the tailings, are detailed in the DSTF Operation, Maintenance, and Surveillance (OMS) manual, which forms part of the DSTF Construction and Operation Plan.

The tailings are deposited off a conveyor stacker outside the mill building. According to the TMP, approximately 60% of tailings produced will be placed in the DSTF, and the remaining 40% will be placed underground as backfill. Dewatered tailings for the DSTF storage are hauled from the tailings stockpile outside of the mill building to the DSTF and mechanically spread and compacted in 300 mm-high lifts to form a stacked tailings deposit.

The facility is designed and managed to meet both operational and closure requirements, with a minimum long-term liability and no long-term water treatment requirement. The experience on the existing DSTF supports that with the following performance indicators:

1. The moisture content of the filtered and stacked tailings is lower than the design, resulting in lower makeup water requirements and no discharge of mill water.

2. The metal content of the pore water is lower than initially estimated (~ 2 mg/L vs. 20 mg/L).

3. Humidity cell tests on Bellekeno tailings in the DSTF confirm there is no concern for acid or metal generation.

4. Progressive reclamation has been successfully implemented to date.

5. No pore water has been measured or observed in the DSTF monitoring well installed within the DSTF.

6. Compaction results have met design specifications.

7. Previously observed sluffing on the toe of the DSTF has been repaired, and the sinkholes have been excavated and repacked.

8. Ground temperature and slope indicator readings indicate no thawing of underlying permafrost or movement has occurred to date.

Geochemical characterization has been completed on tailings samples to date and continues during operation, according to the site TMP. Both laboratory and field-testing work shows that the tailings from Bellekeno are non-acid generating. Geochemical testing on tailings from Bermingham and Flame and Moth shows that they are geochemically similar to the already licensed tailings and that no additional measures are required to control metal leaching.

DSTF Phase 2 construction is scheduled to start in summer 2024. The design is currently being revised to incorporate comments received from the Yukon Government. Design revisions include revisions to the seismic criteria and re-evaluation of geotechnical design under updated criteria.

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

The current permit limits for the Dry Stack Tailings Facility and the Waste Rock Dump Facility are insufficient to cover the planned waste rock and tailings produced over the LOM. Permitting studies are underway and a reasonable timeframe has been identified in the LOM to obtain appropriate permits to establish additional facilities for tailings and waste rock dumps.

15.7.3 Closure

Progressive reclamation has already begun on the DSTF with final slopes being re-contoured and revegetated with a soil cover. The evapo-transpirative cover serving as a growth medium for revegetation is progressively placed as areas of the DSTF fill. When the ultimate capacity of the DSTF is reached, closure and decommissioning will include finishing placement of the evapo-transpirative cover, recontouring the slope as necessary, and ensuring that revegetation is occurring.

16. Market Studies

16.1 Market Analysis

16.1.1 Overview

Global mined zinc output is approximately 13 million metric tons metal per year, contained in approximately 25 million metric tons of zinc concentrate. Global zinc smelting capacity is approximately 14 million metric tons zinc metal per year and includes 1.5 to 1.8 million metric tons of capacity to refine zinc secondary by-products into metal.

Global mined lead output is only approximately 4.6 million metric tons metal per year, contained in approximately 8 million metric tons of concentrates. Global lead smelting capacity is significantly higher at 13 million metric tons lead metal and also includes the capability to produce approximately 8 million metric tons lead metal from scrap and residues.

Hecla produces approximately 65,000 metric tonnes zinc and 54,000 metric tonnes lead metal, 18.0 Moz Silver and 130 koz Au in concentrates annually at its four mines in North America. Hecla’s total output comprises less than 1% of both global zinc mine capacity and global lead mine capacity. Because Hecla’s concentrate products also contain significant amounts of payable gold and silver, they are sought after by smelters who capture additional value from recovering precious metals through processing and refining zinc and silver concentrates. The current market for Hecla concentrate products is both very liquid and very strong, globally. Hecla’s primary customer base operates in Korea, Japan, Canada, and China. Its concentrate products have also been exported to and processed in Mexico, Belgium, Italy, England, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Global silver supply is approximately 1 billion ounces with mine production accounting for around 80% of silver supply. The majority of silver produced is as a by-product of lead, zinc, copper, and gold mines. According to the Silver Institute, lead-zinc mines are the biggest contributors to global silver supply, accounting for about 32% of silver mine production in 2020. Mexico, China, and Peru produce 50% of world’s silver, while the Canada accounts for only 1% of world silver production.

Silver demand is primarily composed of Industrial demand, which accounts for 50% of total silver demand of 1 billion ounces. Investment demand (physical and exchange traded products) and jewelry and silverware account for 25% share each respectively. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals and this property positions silver as a unique metal for multitude of uses in electronic circuitry in automotive and electronics. Silver’s use in photovoltaic cells has also seen a rapid expansion in the past 5 years and is expected to be one of the key growth areas in green energy.

Gold supply is approximately 165 Moz, with mine production contributing 75% of gold supply and recycling accounting for the remaining 25%. In terms of gold demand, jewelry fabrication accounts for approximately 55% of total demand while Investment in physical bars, coins and Exchange Traded Funds

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 335

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

is at 25% of overall demand. Gold’s use in technology applications was around 11 Moz, or 8% of total demand in 2021, according to the World Gold Council. Accommodative fiscal and monetary policies globally due to the COVID-19 lent support to investment demand for gold in 2020 as gold prices reached record levels in 2020.

16.1.2 Commodity Price Projections

The principal commodities of Keno Hill are freely traded at prices that are widely known, so that prospects for sale of any production are virtually assured. Metal prices used in the estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves is determined by Hecla’s corporate office in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA. Keno Hill Mineral Resources are estimated using the prices shown in Table 16‑1 , while Keno Hill Mineral Reserves are estimated using the prices shown in Table 16‑2. The difference in prices is the result of a longer historical period used as the basis for Mineral Resource Estimation.

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 16‑ – Mineral Resource Metal Prices – 2023.

Commodity | Units | 2023
Ag | USD/oz Ag | $21.00
Au | USD/oz Au | $1,750
Pb | USD/lb Pb | $1.15
Zn | USD/lb Zn | $1.35

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 16‑ – Mineral Reserve Metal Prices – 2023.

Commodity | Units | 2023
Ag | USD/oz Ag | $17.00
Au | USD/oz Au | $1,650
Pb | USD/lb Pb | $0.90
Zn | USD/lb Zn | $1.15

The Mineral Reserve metal prices were established mid-year 2023 based on the following:

 Hecla’s historic price decks for year-end 2022 Mineral Reserves and Resources, 2024 Long-Range Plans and 2023 budgets.

 Bloomberg Historical prices from June 26, 2023.

 Future prices from Consensus Economics from June 26, 2023.

 Wood Mackenzie Short Term Outlook reports for July 2023.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 336

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Year-end 2022 Mineral Reserve metal price for selected peer and other companies.

The Mining Plus QP is of the opinion that the Mineral Reserve prices for silver and gold are moderately conservative when compared against third-party economics firm’s long-term consensus pricing. The zinc and lead price are near the mean when compared against third-party economics firm’s long-term consensus pricing.

Table 16‑3 shows the realized metal prices Hecla has received for sales of its products over its two-year operating history.

Table STYLEREF 1 \s 16‑ – Hecla Historical Average Realized Metal Prices – Keno Hill Mine.

Commodity | Units | 2022 | 2023 | Two Year Average
Ag | USD/oz Ag | $21.11 | $23.46 | $22.29
Pb | USD/lb Pb | $0.95 | $0.96 | $0.95
Zn | USD/lb Zn | $1.61 | $1.14 | $1.37

The economic analysis performed on the 11-year Mineral Reserve LOM plan assumes an average silver price of $22.00/oz, lead price of $0.95/lb and a zinc price of $1.15/lb based upon analysis of December 11, 2023 consensus metal price forecasts by Consensus Economics Inc. The recovered gold in concentrate is not considered payable under the current smelter terms and has not been included in the economic analysis. Based on macroeconomic trends and end of year 2023 financial institution consensus pricing, the Mining Plus mining QP is of the opinion that Hecla’s realized metal pricing will align with the TRS economic assumptions with the potential for short-term upside for silver through the end of 2025.

Please refer to the note regarding forward-looking information at the front of this Report.

17. Environmental Studies, Permitting, and Plans, Negotiations, or Agreements with Local Individuals or Groups

Hecla is committed to operating in compliance with all regulations and standards of good practice for environmental, health, and safety. To uphold this commitment Hecla has developed and approved corporate policies for environmental, health and safety practices and has prepared a detailed management plan to facilitate the continuous improvement of its environment and health and safety performance. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is currently in the process of being implemented, completion is expected by the end of 2024.

The mine design meets current standards and the implementation of the proposed environmental and health and safety practices ensures that KHM is prepared to meet future challenges.

The following section describes the updated environmental, permitting, and social contexts of the KHM.

17.1 Site Context

The historical operations in the district commenced in the early 1900s. These historical mines are spread out over approximately 200 km 2, and comprise upwards of 50 mine sites, three tailings disposal areas, and dozens of different shafts, adits, and open pits. Due to the long history of mining, Keno Hill is known as a brownfield site. The current environmental conditions reflect the brownfield conditions as well as the site Care and Maintenance activities to maintain license compliance. Environmental monitoring data and site characterization studies date back to the 1990s.

The Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, and Bermingham deposits are all part of the former United Keno Hill Mines (UKHM) claims, which included several historical mines and processing facilities within Keno Hill. The Bellekeno, Lucky Queen and Bermingham sites have historical mine workings, waste rock storage areas, and mine water discharges, whereas the Flame and Moth site only has minor historical surface mine workings and a waste rock storage area that were reclaimed during the construction of the Keno Hill District Mill.

Hecla and its subsidiary, ERDC, have a commercial agreement with the Government of Canada in which Hecla is responsible for the care, maintenance, and closure of the historical mines, with funding from the government and the company to address the historical liabilities. The commercial agreement also allows Hecla to undertake exploration of the AKHM site and undertake active mining. Under this agreement, Hecla is responsible for environmental assessment, permitting, compliance, and costs associated with its ongoing exploration and new mine development activities. Additionally, if a new mine is brought into production including the use of infrastructure associated with a historic mine, terrestrial liabilities (i.e.,

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 340

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

waste rock storage areas and roads) and water-related liabilities located within a designated “Production Unit” become the responsibility of Hecla. At this time, Bellekeno and Flame and Moth have been defined as one combined active Production Unit under the Bellekeno Production Unit. Bermingham Production Unit notice was submitted to CIRNAC and approved November 24, 2023. When commercial ore production occurs at Lucky Queen, then a production unit would need to be declared. That production unit would encompass the Lucky Queen mining area that is reasonably expected to be affected by production-related activities, including production features authorized in required permits and surface and groundwater expected to be affected by the permitted activities. Liability for reclamation and closure of the defined production unit would fall to AKHM.

Hecla, along with territorial, federal, and First Nation governments, is also responsible for developing a district-wide reclamation plan that addresses these historic environmental liabilities arising from past mining activities. Under the agreement, Hecla is indemnified from the historic environmental liabilities. The latest reclamation plan, revision 7, was prepared by Alexco and issued in October 2022. Currently, water treatment is carried out at five locations in Keno Hill (Galkeno 300, Galkeno 900, Silver King, Onek 400, and Valley Tailings), as required by the ERDC’s Water Licence QZ21-012.

Alexco developed a reclamation plan that was used by Hecla to acquire Water Licence QZ21-012 in April 2023. Hecla is working towards implementing this water license and reclamation plan.

17.2 Environmental and Socio-Economic Setting

The property is located within the Yukon Plateau (North) Ecoregion and is characterized by rolling upland areas and wide-open valleys. Vegetation communities include Northern boreal forests along the lower slopes and valley bottoms and open scree slopes above the tree line. Many of the valley bottoms include open peatlands, fens, and meadows. A variety of wildlife, birds, and fish species are present in the area.

Keno Hill falls in the subarctic clime of the Koppen climate classification. The closest current long-term climate record is at the Mayo Airport, which had an average daily temperature of -2.4°C and average annual precipitation of 313.5 mm, with 203.8 mm falling as rain for the 1981 to 2010 period (the public record is updated every 10 years). The wet season occurs in summer/fall with drier winters. Meteorological data have been collected in Keno Hill for three locations: since 2007 at the Calumet weather station as part of the development of the reclamation studies for historic liabilities; since 2011 at the Keno Hill District Mill meteorological station as part of Bellekeno mining operations; and, since 2012 at the Valley Tailings Facility meteorological station. The monthly and annual temperatures are on average colder at the three Keno Hill stations than at Mayo Airport, which is expected given the higher site elevation.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 341

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

The environmental setting of the site is summarized in Table 17‑1. The current environmental conditions reflect the brownfield conditions and recent improvements as a result of Care and Maintenance water treatment upgrades and interim reclamation undertaken by ERDC for the historic liabilities.

The KHM is situated in the traditional territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (FNNND). The deposits are located within 5 km of Keno City, which has a population of 20 as of June 2021, and 50 km from the community of Mayo, which has a population of 458 residents as of September 2020. The area has been shaped by mineral development over the past hundred years. Silver and lead ore deposits were discovered on Keno Hill in the early 1900s and the area has since seen fluctuating levels of ongoing quartz and placer mining and exploration. Today the area supports not only mineral development, but also tourism, recreational, and traditional land uses.

The KHM is supplied with electrical power by Yukon Energy Corporation from two hydroelectric plants near Mayo. The Silver Trail Highway runs through the KHM, en route to Keno City, and is the primary access route for the site. This road is a public highway that is maintained by the Government of Yukon.

17.3 Permits and Regulatory Context

Mining projects in Yukon require assessment under YESAA, as well as a Quartz Mining Licence (QML) under the Quartz Mining Act (QMA) and a Water Use Licence (WUL) under the Waters Act.

The existing approvals and assessments currently underway for both exploration and mine development activities are summarized in Table 17‑2. The table also includes existing approvals under ERDC for the historic liabilities’ care and maintenance, and reclamation plan. A number of environmental and socio-economic studies have been completed for Keno Hill since 2006 in support of the mining permit applications, as well as in support of the reclamation planning being completed by ERDC.

Notes: 1. Refer to Table 3-1 – Relevant Assessment and Regulatory Approvals. 2. Renewal is expected to be obtained in 2024.

The Bellekeno, Bermingham, and Flame and Moth mines have all permits and authorizations in place to commence full-scale mine production. Water Licence Application QZ18-044 was submitted to the Yukon Water Board in August 2018 to renew the existing Water Use Licence QZ09-092 to include the Bermingham deposit and extend the license term for a further 17 years to 2037. The new Water Licence QZ18-044 was issued in July 2020 which includes Bellekeno and Flame and Moth as well. To maintain full-scale production for an extended period of time, or to increase production at those deposits, it is likely that modifications to certain permits will be required, including the Quartz Mining Licence (QML-0009), and the Water Licence QZ18-044, in order to increase water discharge amounts/rates, increase the volume or change location of waste rock and tailings storage, or other changes.

Although the QML authorization is also in place for Onek and Lucky Queen, there are currently no plans to bring the Onek deposit into production. A minor amendment to the Water Licensc would be required to bring Lucky Queen into production. The existing approvals are for the mill throughput of 400 tpd (based upon a 12-month average) and will require additional amendment to the QML to increase the throughput to 550 tpd.

17.4 Community and FIrst Nation Relations Socio-Economic Monitoring

Since Hecla acquired Alexco in 2022, Hecla has been working on a number of programs as a part of the Socio-Economic Monitoring in Keno Hill.

17.4.1 Implementation of the Keno Hill City Socio-Economic Mitigation Plan

AKHM meets regularly with stakeholders and First Nations regarding the ongoing operations as, well as the new development plans for Flame and Moth and Bermingham, presenting detailed information about the operations and seeking expression of concerns. Additional consultation facilitated by the regulators is also part of the formal YESAA and licensing processes. Key socio-economic risks identified for the project include relying on all employee workforce and not contractors for development, including the availability of skilled workforce locally and retainment of the workforce.

17.4.2 First Nations Relations

Hecla is party to a Comprehensive Cooperation and Benefits Agreement (CCBA) with the FNNND that recognizes the rights, obligations, and opportunities of the two parties.

17.4.3 Community Relations

Keno City is a small community situated at the end of the Silver Trail Highway with a population of approximately 12 permanent residents. Due to the close vicinity of this site to the community of Keno City, noise, dust, and traffic have been high-profile issues at this site and several permit conditions address these concerns. Several specific issues were raised during the YESAA process and have been included in the decision document and Quartz Mining Licence. Mitigation measures that have already been implemented or that are proposed by the company include limiting certain activities (e.g., crusher

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 344

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

operations) and types of traffic to the hours of 7 am – 7 pm, constructing a building around the crusher and installation of a sound dampening enclosure around the Flame and Moth ventilation fan.

Dust is closely managed and monitored at the site. The dust monitoring data is compared to the Yukon ambient air quality standards.

There is a network of access roads and haul roads throughout the district. Haul roads have been upgraded between Bermingham and the mill, and a bypass constructed around Keno City to reduce traffic and noise for the residents. Required road upgrades to access the Bermingham portal location were completed between 2018 and 2020 which mainly involved widening, surfacing, and installing berms along Calumet Road.

The local community and First Nations have expressed interest in continued access to recreation and tourism in the area, subsistence harvesting and traditional use, sport and commercial hunting, fishing, and trapping, mineral development, and preservation of historical resources. A Heritage Resource Overview Assessment was completed in 2018, in which no areas of overlapping high heritage values were identified for the project area (Ecofor, 2018). There are processes for the communication of issues and grievances in place.

Throughout 2022, AKHM was in discussions with Keno City residents and the office of the Yukon Government Director of Operations and Programs, Department of Community Services to enable AKHM to provide a household refuse haulage service to a community landfill elsewhere in the Yukon Territory for Keno City residents following the closure of the community’s transfer station.

17.5 Closure Plan and Security

An updated Reclamation and Closure Plan was approved by the Yukon Government in October 2022 that encompasses all the mining and processing activities in the Keno Hill.

The Keno Hill Reclamation and Closure Plan addresses underground mining activities at the Bellekeno, Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits, reclamation of existing disturbances at Lucky Queen and Onek, and for each mine all surface support infrastructure and activities, miners’ dry area, offices, trailers, and portals.

Some key aspects of the closure plan are listed as below:

 Waste rock storage facilities will be regraded and then scarified. Organic materials may be blended into the surface to promote growth of vegetation. P-AML waste rock will mainly be placed as backfill in the mine or sloped to shed water and then covered with a 0.5 m layer of low permeability borrow material.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 345

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Adits and raises will be sealed to prevent access. Bulkheads will be constructed in some areas to enhance water management activities.

 At the Flame and Moth, Bermingham and Bellekeno mines, in situ treatment measures will be implemented to reduce metal loadings if required. The active treatment systems will be replaced with passive bioreactor systems.

 All buildings and equipment that are not needed for the treatment activities will be removed from the portal areas. Any additional debris will be transferred to the Elsa solid waste disposal facility. The portal areas will be re-contoured and scarified to facilitate re-vegetation.

 Linear disturbances (roads) will be subject to standard decommissioning measures such as removal of culverts, scarification, re-vegetation, and removal of safety berms.

 The Flat Creek camp will be downsized as needed to support ongoing care and maintenance activities in the KHM.

 Buildings and other infrastructure in the mill area will be dismantled and sold for salvage or demolished on site and disposed of in an approved landfill. Concrete footings will be covered with overburden, scarified, and re-vegetated.

 The DSTF will continue to be progressively reclaimed over the life of the facility with recontouring the side slopes to the final design slope angle (3:1) and placing of cover. If monitoring indicates that it is necessary, meteoric water will be directed to a passive biological treatment system for polishing prior to discharge.

 Various monitoring activities will continue until the performance of the closure measures has been verified.

Hecla expects to have a site presence for many years while reclamation of the historical liabilities occurs. Therefore, monitoring of the Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, and Bermingham mine areas can be integrated with KHM monitoring programs over the long term. This is expected to improve the efficiency of these ongoing water treatment and monitoring activities.

YG requires financial security in the form of a letter of credit to cover potential liabilities associated with the cost of reclamation and closure. The third-party closure cost estimate is consistent with the plan requirements and closure costing guidance as per the August 2013 Reclamation and Closure Planning for Quartz Mining Projects. AKHM has completed a cost estimate to implement Revision 7 of the Reclamation and Closure Plan for the Keno Hill Mine and the estimated cost to implement the reclamation and closure plan at the End of Mine Life (EOM) is CAD 9,643,943. Following an internal review process, the amount of security currently required by the Yukon Government for the reclamation and closure of the Keno Hill Mine is CAD 9,681,500 which includes any security already held under the Water Act. AKHM was issued a Type A Water Licence (QZ18-044), and the Yukon Water Board also requires AKHM to furnish and

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 346

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

maintain financial security with the Yukon Government which includes any security held under the Quartz Mining Act. Following the review of the Reclamation and Closure Plan Revision 6, pursuant to the Waters Act, AKHM has furnished a security of CAD 11,346,433. It is important to note that not all the liabilities included in the cost estimate have yet been realized or created.

Additional closure costs may be incurred if the effectiveness of the current closure concepts cannot be demonstrated. For example, active water treatment may be required at Bellekeno if passive bioreactors are not capable of meeting the discharge criteria. A full-scale pilot bioreactor has operated successfully at Galkeno 900 to support the long-term water management and treatment assumptions in the closure plan. The ongoing monitoring programs will be critical for ensuring that there is sufficient information available to support final closure plans for these production areas. A pilot scale in situ treatment process has been successfully demonstrated at the Silver King mine.

18. Capital and Operating Costs

Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are presented in United States (USD) dollars based on a USD:CAD exchange rate of 1.35 and accurate to the 1 st of January 2024, and all other measurements are metric values.

This section describes:

 Capital cost estimates, also referred to as Capital Expenditure or CapEx estimates.

 Operating cost estimates, also referred to as Operating Expenditure or OpEx estimates.

The capital cost and operating estimates were generated by Hecla and reviewed in detail and modified where necessary by the respective QP’s from Mining Plus Canada (for all components except the process plant, and surface infrastructure) and by Sedgman Canada Ltd. (process plant, and surface infrastructure). The QPs consider the accuracy of the components of the capital cost estimate to be appropriate for an operating mine.

The forecasted capital and operating cost presented in this Technical Report is estimated to have an overall accuracy AACE Class 1 for Bermingham and Flame and Moth, and an AACE Class 3 for the Lucky Queen deposit.

The cost estimate is developed by the mine area and includes the development and production of the Flame and Moth and Bermingham deposits and the re-opening of the Lucky Queen plus the necessary infrastructure for increasing the scale of operations at the Keno Hill Mine.

18.1 Capital Costs

The capital costs are provided by Hecla and reviewed by Mining Plus Canada. The capital costs accuracy is considered equivalent or better than AACE Class 1 with an expected accuracy range of -3% to -10% on the low side and +3% to +15% on the high side. AACE Class 3 accuracy ranges from -10% to -20% on the low side and +10% to +30% on the high side.

18.1.1 Summary of Capital Cost Estimate

Hecla uses the LOM plan as the planning guide for the KHM. The LOM capital costs total USD 194.85 million and include mine development, mine infrastructure, mobile equipment costs, and processing (Table 18‑1). Mining Plus QP is of the opinion that the estimated capital costs for Keno Hill are reasonable.

Capital development is expected to include approximately 16.5 km of capital development up to 2034.

18.2.2 Operating Costs Basis of Estimate

The operating cost estimate is based on the following information:

 Labor rates provided by Hecla are currently in effect at Keno Hill and updated based on current local market conditions assuming owner mining with the exception of Lucky Queen which will be contractor mining.

 Productivities for mobile equipment, mining processes, and labor based current performance to date and performance estimates provided by other Hecla-owned operations.

All mill-related infrastructure with the exception of the crusher is planned to operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, with less planned maintenance downtime. The crusher is planned to operate 12 hours per day during the day shift only. The mine will operate two 12-hour shifts per day.

The technical report labor cost build-up represents a combination of the first principal estimation and actual remuneration packages for project labor. The workforce varies throughout the years, depending on the production and development schedules. The peak workforce is 243 people, comprising 26 site management roles, 47 mill roles, and 30 on site services, environment, and health and safety. The majority of employees work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off rotating schedule.

18.2.3 Mine Operating Cost

The mine operating cost estimate includes equipment operation and maintenance, labor, new materials, explosives, ground support, ventilation, underground air heating, fuel, mine water pumping and treatment, parts, underground definition drilling, and supplies within the following major categories:

• Lateral and vertical development, including ground control.

• Underground services development.

• Production drilling, blasting, load/haul.

• Backfilling.

18.2.4 Mill Operating Cost

The mill operating costs were developed by Hecla and reviewed and modified by the QP for the process plant (Sedgman Canada Ltd.). The quantities and cost data that form the basis for the mill operating costs include the following sources:

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 353

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Current experience with operating the existing mill.

19. Economic Analysis

The economic analysis contained in this Technical Report Summary is based on the Keno Hill Probable Mineral Reserves material only, economic assumptions, and capital and operating costs provided by Hecla’s technical team and validated by the Mining Plus QP and post-tax financial model QP.

19.1 Forward-Looking Information and Cautionary Statements

Please refer to the note regarding forward-looking information at the front of this Report.

19.2 Methodology Used

In the financial analysis, the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method was adopted to estimate the project’s return based on expected future revenues, costs, and investments. Following the DCF method, the net cash flow for each period was discounted at an annual rate of 5% (unless stated otherwise) to a present value and then added to yield a net present value (NPV).

The DCF model for the project assumes that all figures are expressed in constant dollars or real terms. All monetary figures are expressed in United States dollars (USD) unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise stated, all costs in this section of the TRS are expressed without allowance for escalation or currency fluctuation. Current Canadian tax regulations were applied within the financial model by Hecla Management with support from Hecla’s tax advisors.

The QP’s have reviewed the LOM cost estimates and DCF model in sufficient detail to be satisfied that the economic extraction of these Probable Mineral Reserves is justified.

A summary of the key project criteria is provided in the subsequent subsections.

19.3 Economic Criteria

The project value is determined on a pre-tax and after-tax basis at a 5% discount rate with the economic criteria in Table 19‑1 and listed below.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 355

19.3.2 Capital Costs

Total LOM capital requirements have been estimated at USD 194.85 million and are described in detail in Section 18.1.1.

Closure costs of USD 8.74 million estimated by Hecla Yukon are included in the analysis at the end of the LOM.

This financial analysis does not include any sunk costs prior to year 1 of the economic analysis.

19.3.3 Operating Costs

The LOM operating costs are shown in Table 19‑2. The mining cost per tonne of ore milled is $130.05 per tonne and processing costs are estimated at $47.04 per tonne of ore milled. General and administration costs are estimated at $80.35 per tonne of ore milled for a total operating cost of $257.43 per tonne of ore milled.

19.3.5 Taxation and Royalties

 There is an NSR royalty of 1.5% payable to the Government of Canada.

 Approximately CAD 1.2 million of the total CAD 4.0 million has been paid or accrued for as of the date of this Report.

 Taxes include Quartz Mining Tax, federal, and Yukon Taxes. It is assumed that the three operating deposits are treated as ‘one mine’ for income tax and royalty tax purposes.

 Matthew Blattman, post-tax economic model and analysis QP, has relied upon Hecla and its tax advisors for the calculation of the taxes in the economic model.

19.3.6 Closure Cost and Salvage Value

For contemporary mining operations, the Government of Yukon requires financial security in an acceptable form (i.e., letter of credit or surety bond) to cover potential liabilities associated with the cost of reclamation and closure.

 As part of QML-0009, Yukon Government currently holds $9,643,943 in security for the Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek, and Bermingham mine operations, the mill area, and the DSTF. This amount was set in 2022, following a third-party review of AKHM’s estimate of closure costs.

 As part of Water Licence QZ18-044 YG currently holds an additional $1,702,490 in security for a total of $11,346,433 of security held by the Yukon Government as per the AKHM Reclamation and Closure Plan Rev. 6.

There is no salvage value accounted in the cost model.

19.4 Economic Analysis

19.4.1 Pre-Tax Financial Analysis and Results

The pre-tax financial model incorporated the production schedule and smelter term assumptions to produce annual recovered payable metal, or gross revenue, in each concentrate stream by year. Off-site costs, including the applicable refining and treatment costs, penalties, concentrate transportation charges and royalties were then deducted from gross revenue to determine the NSR. Further details of the smelter terms used to calculate the recovered metal value and off-site operating costs and royalties can be found in Section 16.

The operating cash flow was produced by deducting annual mining, processing and G&A from the NSR.

Sustaining and growth capital was deducted from the operating cash flow in the years they occur, to determine the net cash flow before taxes.

The financial analysis was carried out on a 100% Hecla ownership basis.

The LOM material tonnages and produced metal quantities used in the cash flow model are included in Table 19‑4.

A summary of the pre-tax financial results is provided in Table 19‑6.

19.5 Sensitivity Analysis

Project risks can be identified in both economic and non-economic terms. To assess the robustness of the project’s financial results, a sensitivity analysis was conducted in a range of +/- 20% on the key variables that impact the Keno Hill Mine after-tax NPV. Key economic risks were examined by assessing cash flow sensitivities, compared to the base case considering:

 Silver head grade.

 Silver price.

 Exchange rate.

 Operating costs.

 Capital costs (sustaining, growth and closure).

Sensitivities were performed on the key variables for silver because the revenue from silver is approximately 89% of the projects’ net revenue stream with lead and zinc providing the remainder. NPV sensitivity over the base case have been calculated for a range of variations. The after-tax sensitivities are shown in Table 19‑8.

The NPV analysis indicates that the project value is most sensitive to the silver metal price, a ±10% variance in silver price resulted in a -29% and +21% variation in NPV.

In addition, the project value is also highly sensitive to silver head grade. For a ±10% variance in Ag head grade, the project resulted in a -26% and +19% variation.

Amongst the selected parameters, project value is least sensitive to the exchange rate and capital cost. The result for capital sensitivity is reflective of the low project capital requirements, leveraging the existing development and infrastructure (sunk cost).

Figure STYLEREF 1 \s 19‑ – After-Tax 5% NPV Sensitivity (-/+20% Project Variables).

The results of the sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the Keno Hill Mineral Reserve estimate is most sensitive to changes in metal prices, then head grade, followed by operating cost, capital cost, and the exchange rate. It is noted that positive revenue variances to the base case (metal price and head grade) are more impacted from the tax fluctuations which diminishes the gains to the after-tax NPV when compared to the negative variances to the base case. This causes the after-tax NPV to be slightly less sensitive overall to positive cashflow variances than negative.

19.6 Comments on Economic Analysis

Hecla’s QP is of the opinion that as Keno Hill is an operating mine within a relatively stable tax jurisdiction, the above report section(s) accurately represent the current conditions at the mine. As such, the QP has no additional material recommendations to make.

20. Adjacent Properties

The Property is located within the Keno Hill region which has a long history of mining that has been outlined in other Sections of this report. There are numerous historic and abandoned workings associated with this history.

There are current and historic placer gold mining operations to the east and north of the Property. Victoria Gold Corp.’s Eagle Gold Mine is located 35 km west of the Property along the Silver Trail Highway. Gold mineralization at the Eagle Gold Mine is not considered indicative of the mineralization on the Property and is processed via an open pit and heap leach operation. The Eagle Mine operation may provide both benefits and challenges in terms of available resources for this Property.

Adjoining the Keno Hill tenements to the east and south, Metallic Minerals Corporation (Metallic Minerals) has the Keno Silver project which hosts historic silver mines which may be strike extensions to deposits within the Hecla tenements. Metallic Minerals has been conducting drilling at East Keno testing soil anomalies and geophysical features. Drilling in 2020 intersected high grade Ag-Pb-Zn sulfide vein mineralization which was similar in style to the Keno Hill silver mineralization. Metallic Minerals reports that drilling also intersected a mixed mesothermal and epithermal style of mineralization also noted at the Hecla Silver King deposit. Metallic Minerals is continuing to drill test exploration targets within its tenements and anticipates reporting an inaugural mineral resource estimate in early 2024.

Located to the southwest of the Keno Hill Property, the Banyan Gold Corp (Banyan) AurMac Gold Project is a combination of the Aurex and McQuesten projects optioned from Victoria Gold Corp. and Alexco Resource Corp, respectively, as well as additional claims staked directly by Banyan. On 18 th May 2023, Banyan announced an updated Inferred Mineral Resource for the AurMac Property of 6.2 million ounces. The AurMac property is transected by the main Yukon highway and the access road to the Eagle Gold Mine open-pit and heap leach operations.

The QPs are not aware of other data to disclose.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 368

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

22. Interpretation and Conclusions

The responsible QPs make the following interpretations and conclusions within each respective study area based on their review of data available for this TRS.

22.1 Property Description and Ownership

Keno Hill quartz mining claims and quartz mining leases are held by Hecla through its wholly owned subsidiaries ERDC and AKHM. The current property ownership, access and licenses cover the areas included in the geological model, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in this study.

The potential liabilities associated with the historic operations in Keno Hill are indemnified by the Government of Canada under the terms and conditions of the commercial agreement, subject to the requirement for ERDC to develop, permit and implement the site Reclamation Plan for the historic mining activities.

22.2 Exploration and Mineral Resources

Mineral Resources for Keno Hill have been prepared to industry best practice and conform to the resource categories defined by the SEC in S-K 1300. Mineral Resources have been stated exclusive of Mineral Reserves.

In the opinion of the QP, the resource evaluations reported herein are a reasonable representation of the global polymetallic Mineral Resources for the Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek and Bermingham deposits given the current level of sampling.

Drilling and other source data has supported the update of Mineral Resource estimates with resources issued for the five main deposits at Keno Hill which comprise Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Flame and Moth, Onek and Bermingham.

In reviewing the Hecla source data, Mining Plus considered and evaluated areas of risk that included exploration drilling, logging and analytical data collection and the associated quality control procedures, survey and location controls, interpretative modeling and the estimation process. Mining Plus considers these are sufficient to support Mineral Resource Estimation and has included the following comments:

 Recent drilling campaigns by Hecla and Alexco have conformed to industry standards; however, drilling preceding Alexco included issues with core or chip quality which limits their utility primarily to exploration purposes.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 369

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Additional resource drilling has been completed on several of the Keno Hill deposits subsequent to the previous technical report completed in 2021 (Alexco, 2021b). Resource and grade control drilling were completed at the Bermingham deposit and at Flame and Moth. Exploratory drilling investigating extensions to existing resources was completed at Hector-Calumet, Silver King and Coral Wigwam deposits that lie along strike and between the major mineral resource areas.

 The reviewed and validated geological database was considered by the QP to be representative and suitable for constructing interpretative geological models and for the preparation of Mineral Resource estimates. The database was similarly considered suitable for mine design and scheduling and in conjunction with other modifying factors, suitable for Mineral Reserve estimation.

 The most recent drilling campaign (between September 2022 and October 2023) has incorporated drilling procedures used by Alexco and complemented by minor improvements introduced by Hecla. These practices have followed industry standards and are considered suitable for incorporation into the resource estimation. Drilling preceding Alexco typically has included issues with core or chip quality limiting their utility primarily to exploration purposes.

 The data spacing and distribution within the areas of the resource was sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for mineral resource estimation.

 In the drilling database, geology logging prior to 2010 used a different approach for the description of the lithological code with inconsistent logging between both periods. Some records in the database included “NR” (No Recovery) entries in the assay data which were subsequently retained as NULLs in the estimation process. At Flame and Moth, it was noted that the NR intervals constituted around 15% of the total sampled length within some domains.

 Density determination was conducted using combined estimates from a pycnometer method applied to pulp samples and the Archimedes method on segments of drill core.

 Mining Plus considered the assay Quality Control program between 2006 and 2023 was acceptable and no significant contamination was observed with assay samples returning acceptable precision and accuracy without evidence of bias. The following comments on the quality control program were noted:

o Investigation and documented actions were not at a suitable standard for some assay failures.

o It was noted that duplication of pulp samples was discontinued as part of the Quality Control program after 2011.

o Pulverized blank standard controls have not been included as part of the Quality Control program.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 370

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 The applied interpretation and modelling criteria appeared to vary from deposit to deposit, including within the same deposit or structure. The interpretations are apparently based on a combination of geology and economic cut-off and a lack of accurate snapping was observed in some deposits. These differences were not considered to have a significant global impact on the mineral resource but could present an impact on a local scale.

 The block model grade interpolation was completed using differing estimation approaches to accommodate local and global biases which remained within the acceptable range. This approach includes estimation with regular parent cells applying proportion of the mineralized zone (Onek, Lucky Queen and Bellekeno) that makes it difficult to optimize underground resources. No material issue was detected except at the Bellekeno deposit where the resource classification was modified from Indicated to Inferred. Mining Plus noted that different estimation approaches have been applied to each deposit. The Mineral Resource classification has been applied to a reasonable standard where most blocks remain within a distance of 25 m of the source data and included as Indicated resources. It was noted in some cases a distance up to 50 m distance was permitted for the Indicated classification, which is typically wider than what would normally be applied in this style of mineralization.

 The implementation of grade capping was applied on a case-by-case basis. Overall, most of the estimation domains exhibited a low coefficient of variation. For Flame and Moth, a clamp method was employed to limit high-grade values. Whilst this method results in lower than anticipated grades in the high-grade zones, this method shows improved results compared to traditional capping methods. Mining Plus holds the opinion that there are no notable concerns regarding the outcomes of capping. In the case of Bermingham, the capping has been done on the raw data. Mining Plus advises against methods of raw data capping, as this may result in potentially higher loss of metal compared to capping applied to composites. Mining Plus has referred to older mineral resource assessments completed in the period 2010 to 2021 by Dr Gilles Arseneau, Ph.D., P. Geo. from SRK Canada who acted as the QP. Throughout this period Dr. Arseneau conducted diverse reviews of databases and quality control. Further details on these reviews have been included in Section 9 of this Report.

 The implementation of reconciliation in active mining areas is currently ongoing and a comprehensive review is underway. Mining Plus emphasizes that, in accordance with best practices, mining reconciliation remains an important tool in the Mineral Resource value chain. The outcomes from reconciliation studies play a crucial role in enhancing the understanding regarding the veracity of mineral resource estimates and anticipating future improvements.

 Mining Plus observed that the mineralization style and controls are well understood following an extensive period of mining operations and support the continuing release of Mineral Resources.

 Mining Plus considered that Hecla’s Keno Hill has excellent potential for further exploration discoveries and for extensions to the current resources that remain on the Property, both along strike and at depth in the immediate resource areas and on other parts of the Property.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 371

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Mining Plus has assumed no risk for the processing and mining costs applied to the NSR economic cut-off for reporting the Mineral Resource estimates. These costs have reportedly been based on previous studies. However, verification with current Hecla costs (mining and processing cost) showed no significant differences in the reported resources.

 Assumptions made for various metal prices were deemed reasonable for reporting Mineral Resources while considering long-term price fluctuations. It remains essential to acknowledge that these parameters could be influenced by significant shifts in the market economy.

It is the opinion of the Mining Plus geology QP that the Mineral Resource models presented in this report are representative of the informing data and that the data is of sufficient quality and quantity to support the Mineral Resource estimate to the classifications applied.

22.3 Mining and Mineral Reserves

 Mineral Reserves have been classified in accordance with the definitions for Mineral Reserves in S-K 1300.

 Mineral Reserves as of December 31, 2023 total 1.88 Mt grading 912 g/t Ag, 0.22 g/t Au, 2.81% Pb, and 2.53% Zn.

 Indicated Mineral Resources were converted to Probable Mineral Reserves. Inferred Mineral Resources were not converted to Mineral Reserves, however, are typically included in the Keno Hill long-range plan and therefore are removed from the life of mine cash flows to ensure economic confirmation of the Mineral Reserves.

 Mineral Reserves are estimated by qualified professionals using modern mine planning software in a manner consistent with industry practice.

 The mining method at KHM is overhand mechanized cut and fill (MCF) using cemented and uncemented rockfill as backfill. MCF is a highly selective method that enables the Mineral Reserves to be extracted safely and economically while adapting to the variable nature of the narrow vein geometry.

 Mill feed will come predominantly from the Bermingham deposit (70%), followed by the production from Flame and Moth (24%), and supplemented by Lucky Queen ore (6%).

 The current LOM period is estimated to be eleven years ending in 2034.

 The key risks to achieving the design basis include:

o Slower excavation rates, increased dilution, and increased ground support costs due to the relatively poor nature of the rock mass.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 372

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

o Localized conditions of higher water flow around water bearing structures.

o Due to the relatively small nature of the operation, any unplanned breakdowns may have a potentially large effect.

The QP considers that the mine plan is sound, as it is based on conventional mining techniques, reasonable production assumptions, and due consideration of potential risks to achieving the mine plan. As the mine matures, the overall mine plan benefits from the flexibility of having multiple working fronts to achieve the desired production rate. The Mineral Reserves are subject to the type of risks that are common to underground polymetallic narrow vein mining operations and may be materially affect by the following risk factors:

 Changes in realized metal prices from what was assumed.

 Changes to the mining costs, processing and G&A costs used to calculate the cut-off grade.

 Changes in local interpretation of mineralization geometry or modelled continuity of mineralized zones.

 Changes to geotechnical or hydrogeological design assumptions resulting in schedule delays, increased dilution or reduced recoveries.

 Changes to mining and metallurgical recoveries.

 Changes in the long-term assumptions relating to concentrate payability, marketability and penalty terms.

 Changes in the mining development or geotechnical conditions resulting in additional unplanned dilution.

 Changes to the current mining method where certain zones or lenses permit.

 Assumptions as to the continued ability to access site, retain mineral tenure, obtain required environmental, mining, and other regulatory permits, and maintain a social license to operate with relevant stakeholders.

22.4 Metallurgical Testing and Mineral Processing

The Keno Hill Mine is currently engaged in mining and milling operations with an on-site mill producing silver-lead and zinc concentrates. Hecla has completed all mill upgrades planned by the former site operator, Alexco to support the future increase from 400 tpd to 550 tpd throughput.

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 373

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

22.5 Infrastructure

The current infrastructure servicing the Keno Hill Mine is expected to be sufficient to sustain operations and Hecla has plans for refurbishment of repair as necessary within the mine plan. The following projects are some planned sustaining capital projects that should add capacity to the current DSTF and allow for the mine plan to utilize tailings in the underground cemented backfill.

 Hecla plans to build a CRF/tailings plant near Bermingham portal to support ongoing backfill activities at the Keno Hill Mine.

 Hecla plans to increase the capacity of the DSTF with a Phase 2 and Phase 3 extension.

DSTF Phase 2 construction is scheduled to start in summer 2024. The design is currently being revised to incorporate comments received from the Yukon Government. Design revisions include revisions to the seismic criteria and re-evaluation of geotechnical design under updated criteria.

The current permit limits for the Dry Stack Tailings Facility and the Waste Rock Dump Facility are insufficient to cover the planned waste rock and tailings produced over the LOM. Permitting studies are underway, and a reasonable timeframe has been identified in the LOM to obtain appropriate permits to establish additional facilities for tailings and waste rock dumps.

22.6 Environmental Studies, Permitting, Social or Community Impacts

Hecla is committed to operating in compliance with all regulations and standards of good practice for environmental, health, and safety. To uphold this commitment Hecla has developed and approved corporate policies for environmental, health and safety practices and has prepared a detailed management plan to facilitate the continuous improvement of its environment and health and safety performance. An Environmental Management System is currently in the process of being implemented, completion is expected by the end of 2024.

Permits held by Hecla for the KHM are sufficient to ensure that mining activities are conducted within the regulatory framework required by regulations. The QP notes that the Bellekeno, Bermingham, and Flame and Moth mines have all permits and authorizations in place to commence or continue with full-scale mine production. The Bermingham deposit has the required permits to sustain mine production for a number of years, however, it will require an amendment to include recent additions to the Mineral Reserve in Bermingham Deep Northeast Zone. The Lucky Queen deposit has in place a Quartz Mining Licence (QML-0009) which authorizes mining operations, but Water Licence QZ18-044 would require an amendment before water-based activities for Lucky Queen can proceed.

To maintain full-scale production for an extended period of time, or to increase production at those deposits, it is likely that modifications to certain permits will be required, including the Quartz Mining Licence (QML-0009), and the Water Licence QZ18-044, in order to increase water discharge

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 374

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

amounts/rates, increase the volume or change location of waste rock and tailings storage, or other changes.

In addition, Hecla is progressing work to increase the current permit limits for the Dry Stack Tailings Facility and the Waste Rock Dump Facility as they are insufficient to cover the planned waste rock and tailings produced over the LOM. There is a reasonable expectation that Hecla will receive the required permits to proceed with the proposed LOM plan.

The mine design meets current standards and the implementation of the proposed environmental and health and safety practices ensures that the Keno Hill Mine is prepared to meet future challenges.

22.7 Capital and Operating Costs and Economic Evaluation

The capital cost and operating estimates were generated by Hecla and reviewed in detail and modified where necessary by the Mining Plus mining QP. The QP considers the accuracy of the components of the capital cost estimate to be appropriate for an operating mine supported by historical costs and recent estimates.

The risks to both sustaining capital and operating costs are mitigated by several factors: the established site infrastructure including an operating mill, existing access to all three mines including advanced development in Flame and Moth and Lucky Queen mines. The majority of the operating costs are based on current estimates and performance with reasonable allowances for improvement through operational efficiencies and application of best practices in MCF development.

The sustaining capital cost for the project is USD 106.2 M with growth capital of USD 79.9 M and the reclamation and closure cost is USD 8.7 M for a total of USD 194.8 M. Operating costs average USD $257.43/t of ore over the life of mine.

22.8 Economic Analysis

The economic model for the project was developed by Hecla and reviewed in detail by the Mining Plus mining QP and the post-tax economic analysis QP, Mr. Matthew Blattman. KHM benefits from the operational history, safe jurisdiction and existing permits, as well as the existing infrastructure. Although a brownfields operation, the limitation of liabilities for the historic impacts of mining provides mitigation to that risk of liability and higher than expected closure costs.

Total cumulative after-tax cash flow to the project is USD 419.8 M. The before and after-tax Net Present Value of the project are USD 318.1 M and USD 304.5 M respectively at a 5% annual discount rate. The before and after-tax Internal

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 375

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

Based on the assumptions in the model, the conclusions are that this Project provides a robust cashflow over the eleven-year mine life, producing high value lead-silver and zinc concentrates. The NPV analysis indicates that the project value is most sensitive to the silver metal price, a ±10% variance in silver price resulted in a -29% and +21% variation in NPV.

In addition, the project value is also highly sensitive to silver head grade. For a ±10% variance in Ag head grade, the project NPV can vary by -26% and +19%.

Amongst the selected parameters, project value is least sensitive to the exchange rate and capital cost. The result for capital sensitivity is reflective of the low project capital requirements, leveraging the existing development and infrastructure (sunk cost).

The results of the sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the Keno Hill Mineral Reserve estimates are most sensitive to changes in metal prices, then head grade, followed by operating cost, capital cost, and the exchange rate. It is noted that positive revenue variances to the base case (metal price and head grade) are more impacted from the tax fluctuations which diminishes the gains to the after-tax NPV when compared to the negative variances to the base case. This causes the after-tax NPV to be slightly less sensitive overall to positive cashflow variances than negative.

23. Recommendations

23.1 Introduction

This section contains a summary of recommendations and opportunities that could be considered for implementation in the future to de-risk, optimize and potentially extend the life of the Keno Hill Mine. The QPs provide the following recommendations.

23.2 Geology and Mineral Resources

Hecla has maintained an active exploration program that seeks to identify mineralization extensions and to support the evaluation of mineral resources and provide grade control definition ahead of mining operations. Mining Plus considers the drilling, logging and drill core meet existing industry standards and are sufficient to support Mineral Resource Estimation and includes the following comments and recommendations:

 Mining Plus has recommended that the current data spacing, and distribution is maintained at all deposits and suggested monitoring the subsequent geological and grade continuity to ensure it continues to be appropriate for Mineral Resource Estimation.

 Review the logging disparities identified in drillings conducted before 2010 and conduct a comprehensive assessment of logging consistency across various drilling campaigns. This review aims to enhance the interpretation and modeling criteria for mineralized structures.

 Discrepancies observed between the entered assay data and the laboratory certificates were noted in the Onek database, and to a lesser extent at Bellekeno and Lucky Queen. Mining Plus considers that a more comprehensive audit be conducted to address these inconsistencies and verify if any other issues exist.

 Constant monitoring of the pulp bulk density is recommended by conducting checks using the paraffin wax method on samples estimated using the Archimedes density method. The checks will provide information on any relevant biases and must be included in the company’s procedures.

 Mining Plus considers that adjustments to the procedures for underground face sampling and an improvement in onsite assaying may be sufficient to support the incorporation of face samples within future grade estimation processes. Face samples are normally reliable source data for estimations as they can be controlled at uniform boundaries and set locations within the mining development. Face sample data represents the closest spaced samples that can be used to determine local grade variability or continuity.

 Mining Plus recommends the following improvements to the Quality Control program:

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 377

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

o Hecla should include an investigation of the origin of any quality control failures and to implement timely corrective measures.

o Hecla should continue to incorporate field duplicates, pulp duplicates and umpire check samples as essential parts of the Quality Control procedure to assess the precision of samples at various stages of sampling and comminution.

o The incorporation of pulverized blank standard samples is recommended to evaluate contamination during the analysis stage.

 The applied geological interpretation and modelling criteria should be clearly defined and consistent during the interpretation of each structure and deposit, which will help improve precision in locally estimated resources.

 It is recommended that future resource estimates should establish clear and consistent estimation criteria as far as practicable, including:

o An update of the estimated resources at Onek, Lucky Queen and Bellekeno, with appropriate documentation and traceability of the data and information used is strongly recommended.

o The block model should use parent cells and sub cells to facilitate underground optimizations.

o A consistent capping method be applied uniformly across all deposits. The recommended approach is to consider capping after the compositing process, where the influence of high grades is mitigated.

o The NSR economic cut-off should be based on Hecla’s current costs, which should include at a minimum the cost of mine and mineral processes, which can be tangible and realistic depending on the level of knowledge of mining development in the area.

 Monitor the estimation results of those domains with no record (NR or NULL) intervals mainly in Flame and Moth, to see potential risks in this area resulting from these samples.

 Continue with the Resource classification criteria for Indicated Resources using a distance of 25 m, which should be consistent wherever possible for all deposits.

 Implement mining reconciliation practices that help to better understand the veracity of mineral resource estimates and anticipate future improvements.

23.3 Mining and Mineral Reserves

The QP notes that the overall mine plan benefits from increased flexibility and working fronts as the mine matures and the capital development advances. In the initial years, there is an opportunity to further de-risk the overall LOM plan and better predict the operational performance of future mining zones by addressing the following items:

 Undertake a more detailed dilution and extraction study, including consideration of any existing reconciliation studies, to better quantify the extraction recovery, dilution, and other modifying factors that Hecla is currently applying to all production designs. Specifically, the final cut underneath a planned sill can be expected to have a higher dilution from CRF failure due to blasting cycles of the final lift and previous lift. Use the results of the above noted studies to determine the actions necessary to align mine production grades with the Mineral Reserve Estimates.

 Complete additional geotechnical assessments to determine the amenability of the orebody to more productive and less costly mining methods. There is an opportunity to trial stope mining methods in the Flame and Moth between 2024 and 2026 to refine the method and application without affecting the overall LOM plan.

 Complete additional optimization on the Mineral Reserve mine plan and de-risk the mine plan on a development basis by assessing the potential for slower than planned increases to efficiency and underground unit development operations. Complete additional scenario scheduling to better understand the risk and plan appropriately to meet the schedule.

 Continue evaluating the option of mining at Flame and Moth earlier than planned as a large portion of the underground access has been completed and the mine is ready to produce ore with minimal development. This will assist with reducing the LOM plan risk by creating additional mining fronts with minimal upfront capital.

 Continue conducting definition diamond drilling throughout the remainder of the underground mining operation to convert Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources and increase the understanding of the mineralization. Doing so may result in increased Mineral Reserves near planned capital and operational development and reduce the overall capital development intensity of the schedule.

 Investigate adding marginal underground Indicated Mineral Resources to the Mineral Reserves where appropriate.

 Complete hydrogeological studies to better understand the sources of water at Flame and Bermingham

DEFINE | PLAN | OPERATE | 379

|  | S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary on the Keno Hill Mine, Yukon, Canada

 Review mining plans and benchmark other relevant Hecla operations to define definitive actions to attain the planned improvements in mining productivity, daily development advance and associated costs over the first four years.

23.4 Mineral Processing

The QP considers that there is an opportunity to improve the level of detail of the metallurgical predictions and particularly the concentrate production at a month-to-month operational level. Further locked cycle tests at the next stage of study are recommended for samples representing the Flame and Moth deposit and different blends according to the LOM production plan. There may be an opportunity to improve the concentrates grades with further testing, particularly of the zinc concentrate. Additional metallurgical testing at different head grades would also support the approach to capping recoveries, particularly for the comportment of lead to concentrates at lower head grade mill feed. In addition, further hardness tests are recommended on these samples to verify potential grindability variations for future mill feeds. It is also recommended that testing of the increased plant throughout above the 400 tpd be done in the first year of operation to identify potential bottlenecks and confirm requirements for mill modifications to achieve the 550 tpd throughput. Sedgman recommends that Hecla perform a series of debottlenecking exercises and productivity tests on the mill prior to and well in advance of the expected throughput increases. This will help to derisk the production profile and ensure a smooth ramp up.

23.5 Environmental Studies, Permitting, Social or Community Impacts

The QP notes that that the Mineral Reserves contain material that is not fully permitted for extraction at both Bermingham (Bermingham Northeast Deep Zone) and Lucky Queen.

The QP recommends that Hecla continue with its planned permit approvals and amendment process to reduce the risk to the overall mine plan and investigate alternatives if required.

23.6 Economics Analysis

The QP is of the opinion that as Keno Hill is an operating mine within a relatively stable tax jurisdiction, and the information contained in Section 19.4-Economic Analysis accurately represent the current conditions at the mine. As such, the QP has no additional material recommendations to make.
