October Community Conversation Part 5: HECLA Montana

Nick Raines, HECLA Montana environmental coordinator, spoke about Troy Mine reclamation activities and progress, Montanore permitting and evaluation progress, and the Rock Creek Project permitting and evaluation progress.

Raines said that Montanore and Rock Creek are each expected to create 40 to 50 jobs in the surrounding communities once they are approved.

From the event program:
“Hecla Montana (HLMT) is currently progressing activities at its three underground mining projects in NW Montana. By late fall 2019, HLMT will have completed nearly all reclamation at the 400 acre Tailings Storage Facility of the closed Troy Mine. Future work will focus on the reclamation of the remaining mine/mill facilities. Meanwhile, HLMT continues to pursue permitting for the Montanore and Rock Creek projects.”
