 The price of silver is expected to rise "substantially" in tandem with the gold price, the head of Hecla Mining Co said on Tuesday.

President and Chief Executive Phillips Baker also told Reuters that demand for silver is starting to rise after the recession, and he expects it to grow by more than 6 percent a year as the global economy expands.
