F1: Award of restricted stock units that vest as follows: 44,005 shares on June 21, 2021, 44,004 shares on June 21, 2022, and 44,004 shares on June 21, 2023.

F2: Total number of unvested restricted stock units held by Mr. Baker.

F3: Held as 3.235.465 units in Mr. Baker's 401(k) account under the Hecla Mining Company Capital Accumulation Plan, and estimated to be 38,996 shares.

F4: Mr. Baker was awarded performance rights representing the contingent right to receive between $200,000 and $800,000 worth of Hecla Mining Company common stock based on Hecla Mining Company's Total Shareholder Return performance over the 3-year period (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022) relative to our peers. Examples of the potential grant of shares to Mr. Baker under this plan are as follows: 100th percentile rank among peers = maximum award at 200% target ($800,000 in stock); 60th percentile rank among peers = target award at grant value ($400,000 in stock); and 50th percentile rank among peers = threshold award at 50% target ($200,000 in stock).

F5: The number shown in Column 5 of Table II assumes a target payout (i.e., $400,000 worth of common stock), with the common stock valued at the closing price on the day of the award ($3.03). The actual number of shares received (if any) by Mr. Baker will depend on the Total Shareholder Return performance over the 3-year period and will be determined following the termination of that period.

F6: Total consists of 3,267,033 shares held directly, 1,795,964 deferred shares under the Hecla Mining Company Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan, 560,410 performance-based shares, and 320,456 unvested restricted stock units.
