Hecla Mining shares are climbing as silver prices surge toward $73 an ounce, boosted by hopes of diplomatic progress in the Middle East that have energized the precious metals market. The move in silver has made investors more interested in companies that are focused on the metal.

The rally is getting an extra push from the new Tradr 2X Long HL Daily ETF, a leveraged fund tied directly to Hecla’s stock that has sparked heavier trading. Optimism also remains strong after Hecla sold its Casa Berardi mine and paid off its senior notes, transforming the company into a debt‑free, pure‑play silver producer.
