Tuesday, May 21, 6:12 PM Four companies ignoring their shareholders' votes, according to Theo Francis: Impax Labs (IPXL), where three directors were retained despite failing to reach 50% approval; Occidental Petro (OXY), which counted 55M non-voting shares as voting against a proposal; Hecla Mining (HL), which left open a say-on-pay vote for an extra month; and NYSE Euronext (NXY), which continues to thwart the right to call special shareholder meetings.

Friday, May 10, 8:49 AM More on Hecla Mining's (HL) Q1 results: Average realized silver prices fell 21%.

Aurizon Mines (AZK) shareholders vote in favor of the acquisition by HL, which should be completed during Q2 upon Canadian regulatory approval. Shares -2.1% premarket. 3 Comments [Commodities, M&A]

Monday, April 15, 12:59 PM Pan American Silver (PAAS -7%) is downgraded to Market Perform with a $19.50 target price (from $30) at BMO Capital, as a lack of growth and high cost structure expose shareholders to downside risk in a declining metal price environment. The firm cuts its EPS and cash flow/share outlook 58% and 34%, respectively, to $0.74 and $1.55, well below consensus. Also, SLW -7.5%, HL -8.5%. 3 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]

Tuesday, March 19, 6:28 PM Alamos Gold (AGI) drops its hostile takeover offer for Aurizon Mines (AZK), saying its conditions have not been met due to a $27M break fee that would be payable to Hecla Mining (HL), which emerged with a white knight offer for AZK. HL's offer still requires approvals from two-thirds of votes cast at a shareholder meeting. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]
Tuesday, March 12, 8:21 AM Alamos Gold (AGI) goes on the offensive in the takeover battle for Aurizon Mines (AZK), asking a securities regulator to reject both a proposed $27M break fee and poison pill it believes are highly irregular.

Monday, March 11, 9:07 AM Aurizon Mines (AZK) adopts a shareholder rights plan, seeking to prevent Alamos Gold (AGI) from using its voting power to defeat a better takeover offer from Hecla Mining (HL) and saying its plan will ensure all shareholders are treated equally. AZK says recent comments by AGI suggest it is attempting to gather enough shares to block the HL bid. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]

With or without the transaction, the firm sees HL as an attractively priced diversified precious metals producer. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
