Hecla's Zinc production in focus

I am a subscriber to a well known market trading service and zinc was in focus as it is breaking out from it's recent triangle formation and above critical daily,weekly and monthly averages with the potential to make a significant move.
If $zinc breaks out it is fair to say that Hecla will benefit considerably.
The subscribers were chiming in with their zinc producer observations and I offer Hecla and my own take below:

The two largest Zinc mines in the USA were (not sure if still true):
Red Dog Mine (TECK RESOURCES)
Greens Creek Mine (HECLA).

Looks like Hecla could be a great play all round in metals!

Hecla Operational Overview

Hecla is the largest U.S silver miner and produces more than 45% of all silver in the U.S. We are the third largest lead and zinc producer, and we also mine gold. Hecla owns the only primary silver producer in Canada and we have exploration properties in world-class silver and gold mining districts throughout North America.

The zinc production coming out of Keno is rich. Meanwhile, Hecla is attempting to ramp up to full production there. Alexco stated that the now HL mill at Keno was infrastructurally capable of being expanded another 50% to six million ounces Ag Eq per annum.

Green's Creek is HL's massive zinc producer but the combined zinc production of Lucky Friday and Keno Hill will soon contribute another 50% + to the zinc currently being produced at Green's Creek-and that is without a production infrastructure upgrade at Keno.
