- Hecla Mining , one of the world's senior silver producers, today announced the completion of the ATAC acquisition.
Known for its discovery of Canada's first Carlin-type gold at its Rackla gold property in Yukon , ATAC recently diversified its property portfolio with additional copper assets and a project in British Columbia. President and CEO Phillips S. Baker, Jr. commented, “With the ATAC acquisition, we continue to execute our strategy of acquiring large land packages with significant exploration potential in favorable mining jurisdictions.
“The acquisition further cements our position in the Yukon, with our Keno Hill mine going into production in the third quarter. Keno Hill is expected to produce more than 2.5 million ounces of silver in 2023 and to become Canada's largest and highest-grade primary silver mine,” he added.
