The complaint against Hecla alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) Hecla safety measures at the Lucky Friday mine were inadequate and not up to MSHA standards; (2) the December closure of the Company's Lucky Friday mine would require a significant amount of time to address; and (3) the Company's positive statements regarding expected production and earnings lacked a reasonable basis for being made.
