BOSTON, May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockesq.com), a national securities litigation firm, announces that a securities fraud class action has been filed against Hecla Mining Co. (NYSE: HL), and certain of its officers. Shareholders who lost money on their investments are encouraged to contact Block & Leviton LLP to learn more.
The pending lawsuit alleges that between March 19, 2018 and May 8, 2019 (the “Class Period”) (1) Hecla’s Nevada operations were hemorrhaging cash due to serious problems which Hecla had identified prior to the start of the Class Period; and (2) due to these serious problems, the defendants had no reasonable basis for their representations that the Nevada operations would be in a position to have positive or self-funding cash flow.
When the truth became known, Hecla’s stock price fell $0.48 per share, or 23.5%, over the following two trading days to close at $1.56 per share on May 10, 2019.
