The verdict came in a lawsuit filed by the Star-Phoenix Mining Company, a former lessee of the Star-Morning mine, over a dispute relating to the company's 1990 termination of Star-Phoenix's lease of the mine. Hecla intends to vigorously appeal the verdict and strongly believes that the evidence presented in the trial does not support the verdict. -HL- Contact: W.
