Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) will be added to the S&P MidCap 400 Index effective prior to the open of trading on December 22, 2025, according to an announcement by S&P Dow Jones Indices.

The S&P MidCap 400 is designed to measure the performance of U.S. equities with market capitalizations between $8.0 billion and $22.7 billion. The index selection process involves both empirical measures and subjective analysis by S&P's Index Committee, which considers factors including sector representation, corporate governance standards, and market stability.

"Our addition to the S&P MidCap 400 reflects the significant progress we've made in building a world-class silver-focused mining company," said Rob Krcmarov, President and CEO. "The fact that the S&P Index Committee used its discretion to include Hecla as the only precious metals producer in the index speaks to our upward trajectory."

Hecla operates silver and gold mining operations in the United States and Canada. The company was founded in 1891 and operates mines in Alaska, Idaho, and Quebec, Canada. It is developing a mine in the Yukon, Canada, and owns exploration and pre-development projects throughout North America.

The S&P MidCap 400 is followed by index funds and institutional investors. The company's inclusion is expected to broaden its shareholder base and enhance trading liquidity, according to the press release.
