Hecla Mining shifts to pure silver focus, boosting potential for 20% share gain amid strong Q1 and asset sales

Hecla Mining is transitioning to a pure silver strategy by selling off its gold assets, including the recent sale of Casa Berardi. This move strengthens its balance sheet and capital flexibility, positioning the company to benefit if silver prices stay above $70. The strategy leverages silver's growing industrial demand and could drive a near-term 20% share price recovery. Investors should watch geopolitical risks and silver's evolving role as both a strategic and monetary asset.
