REVETT MINING COMPANY, INC. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe and Powers Taylor LLP Believe the Acquisition by Hecla Mining May be Unfair to Shareholders

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Revett Mining Company, Inc. ("Revett") RVM concerning the acquisition by Hecla Mining HL. Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $20 million, Revett shareholders will only receive 0.1622 HL stock for each RVM share owned. Based on the closing price of both stocks before the deal was announced, the consideration is valued at $0.52 and is significantly lower than the 52-week high of Revett.

If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the investigation or if you have information that you believe would be helpful to our investigation of the fairness of the proposed transaction, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com, Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor LLP via e-mail at shareholder@powerstaylor.com or by calling toll free at (877) 728-9607. There is no cost or fee to you.

The investigation centers on whether Revett's Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders' best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. The transaction is expected to close late in the second quarter of 2015.
