Disclosure Text Block [Abstract] |
Business Segments and Sales of Products | Note 2. Business Segments and Sales of Products We discover, acquire and develop mines and other mineral interests and produce and market (i) concentrates containing silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper, (ii) carbon material containing silver and gold, and (iii) doré containing silver and gold. We are currently organized and managed in four segments: Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, Keno Hill and Casa Berardi. The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and the allocation of resources by Hecla's President and Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM evaluates the performance for all of our reportable segments based on segment gross profit or loss. For all segments, the CODM uses segment gross profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget to actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. Significant segment expenses that are components of total cost of goods sold and drive the financial performance of our reportable segments are (i) salaries, wages and other benefits, (ii) contractors, (iii) consumables (iv) change in product inventory and (v) other direct production costs. In further evaluating the operational performance of each segment, the CODM also considers the amount of metals production versus budget, and the grade of the metal processed. General corporate activities not associated with operating mines and their various exploration activities, as well as idle properties and environmental remediation services in the Yukon, Canada, are presented as “other.” The nature of the items that reconcile gross profit (loss) to income (loss) before income and mining taxes are not related to our reportable segments. The tables below present information about our reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
