NEWS RELEASE 
Coeur Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results
Reaffirms Production Guidance; Updates Cost and Capital Expenditure Guidance
Chicago, Illinois - July 28, 2021 - Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today reported second quarter 2021 financial results, including revenue of $214.9 million, cash flow from operating activities of $58.1 million and GAAP net income from continuing operations of $32.1 million, or $0.13 per share. On an adjusted basis1, the Company reported EBITDA of $52.7 million, cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital of $31.4 million and net loss from continuing operations of $0.8 million, or $0.00 per share.
Key Highlights
•Quarterly revenue and cash flow growth – Revenue increased 6% quarter-over-quarter and 39% year-over-year due to higher gold and silver ounces sold and a higher average realized silver price. Operating cash flow improved by $62.4 million quarter-over-quarter and $48.1 million year-over-year to $58.1 million
•Higher quarterly production and stronger expected second half – Gold production increased 2% quarter-over-quarter to 87,275 ounces led by a 27% improvement at Wharf, while silver production of 2.6 million ounces was 8% higher largely due to a 15% increase at Rochester. Year-over-year, gold and silver production increased 12% and 60%, respectively, driven by increases at Palmarejo and Rochester. Production levels are expected to continue climbing in the second half of the year and be within the Company’s full-year guidance of 322,500 - 367,500 ounces of gold and 9.7 - 12.2 million ounces of silver
•New quarterly drilling record from largest exploration campaign in Company history – A new quarterly record was achieved during the period with the completion of approximately 320,400 feet (97,675 meters) of drilling and 27 currently active drill rigs. Investment in exploration totaled approximately $18.6 million ($12.4 million expensed and $6.2 million capitalized) in the quarter with significant increases in drilling activity at Palmarejo and Rochester as well as the Crown district in southern Nevada
•Rochester expansion progressing according to schedule – Coeur advanced major construction on the Plan of Operations Amendment 11 (“POA 11”) expansion at Rochester on schedule, with solid ongoing environmental and safety performance. Placement of over-liner material on the new Stage VI leach pad commenced approximately six weeks ahead of schedule, and concrete foundation work for the Merrill-Crowe process plant and crusher corridor is scheduled to begin in the third quarter. Overall project progress was approximately 31% complete at the end of the second quarter
•Accelerating investment at Silvertip based on positive results – The Company is increasing its investment at Silvertip during the second half of 2021 to complete several surface projects to support a potential restart of active mining and processing activities in 2023
•Strategic investment in Victoria – Coeur acquired a 17.8% ownership interest in Victoria Gold Corp. (“Victoria”) during the second quarter for consideration of approximately $118.8 million. Victoria owns and operates the new open pit, heap leach Eagle gold mine located in central Yukon Territory,
1
Canada. The investment is consistent with the Company’s strategy and complements its existing portfolio of gold and silver assets located in high-quality jurisdictions
“Second quarter revenue and cash flow increased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, primarily due to stronger silver production from our Palmarejo and Rochester operations as well as higher average realized silver prices,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We anticipate production to continue increasing during the second half of 2021, particularly from our Wharf and Rochester operations, and expect to achieve our full-year production guidance for both gold and silver. We also accelerated investment on the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester during the quarter. Construction is advancing on schedule and is expected to be largely completed late next year, leading to an anticipated step change in production and cash flow despite seeing some early signs of inflationary pressures in certain areas. ”
Mr. Krebs continued, “Similarly, we continued to increase our investment in exploration and established a new quarterly drilling record, which is leading to additional positive results from the largest campaign in Company history. A third source of high-return organic growth is the potential expansion and restart of our Silvertip mine in northern British Columbia. We are accelerating investment at Silvertip to take advantage of the current construction season based on positive results from our exploration and technical programs to preserve the option of a potential restart in 2023. Finally, we further bolstered our portfolio by acquiring a 17.8% interest in Victoria, which aligns with our strategy of having a balanced collection of long-life, low-cost precious metals assets in high-quality jurisdictions that can generate strong returns for our stockholders.”
“Collectively, these initiatives reflect our strategy of discovering, developing and operating a balanced, multi-asset portfolio of precious metals assets located in high-quality jurisdictions to maximize free cash flow, returns and net asset value. Together with a flexible balance sheet and industry-leading environmental, social and governance practices, we believe we are well positioned to deliver solid results and generate meaningful value for our stockholders,” concluded Mr. Krebs.

Financial Results
Second quarter 2021 revenue totaled $214.9 million compared to $202.1 million in the prior period and $154.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. The Company produced 87,275 and 2.6 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, during the quarter. Metal sales totaled 88,501 ounces of gold and 2.6 million ounces of silver.
Average realized gold and silver prices for the quarter were $1,651 and $26.60 per ounce, respectively, compared to $1,664 and $26.19 per ounce in the prior period. Gold and silver sales accounted for 68% and 32% of quarterly revenue, respectively. The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 60% of second quarter revenue, consistent with the prior period.
Costs applicable to sales2 increased to $132.6 million, largely due to higher throughput rates, an increase in maintenance costs, higher consumable costs and a non-cash inventory charge at Rochester.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter totaled $10.5 million compared to $11.6 million in the prior period, reflecting lower employee-related expenses. Full-year general and administrative expenses are expected to be slightly higher at $40 - $45 million (previous guidance of $37 - $41 million) largely driven by increased accruals for previously-granted long-term performance share awards.
Coeur invested approximately $18.6 million ($12.4 million expensed and $6.2 million capitalized) in exploration during the quarter, compared to roughly $14.9 million ($9.7 million expensed and $5.2 million
3
capitalized) in the prior period, reflecting an increase in drilling activity across most sites. Notably, the Company completed approximately 320,400 feet (97,675 meters) of expansion and infill drilling during the period, establishing a new Company record. See the “Operations” and “Exploration” sections for additional detail on the Company’s exploration activities.
Operating costs related to COVID-19 mitigation and response efforts totaled $2.3 million during the second quarter, compared to $3.0 million in the prior period. These costs were primarily driven by employee-related expenses at Kensington and Palmarejo, and are included in “Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses” on the Company’s income statement. Coeur continues to implement and maintain rigorous health and safety protocols across its operations and in surrounding communities aimed at limiting the exposure and transmission of COVID-19 while minimizing business interruptions.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $15.3 million during the second quarter. Cash income and mining taxes paid during the period totaled approximately $12.4 million.
Quarterly operating cash flow totaled $58.1 million compared to $(4.4) million in the prior period, largely driven by higher metal sales and favorable changes in working capital. Changes in working capital during the quarter were $26.6 million, compared to $(45.9) million in the prior period.
Capital expenditures during the second quarter were $78.2 million compared to $59.4 million in the prior period, primarily driven by increased investment at Rochester and Silvertip. Investment related to the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester totaled $33.2 million during the quarter, compared to $28.1 million in the first quarter. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately 38% and 62%, respectively, of the Company’s total capital investment during the quarter.
The Company satisfied the remaining $7.1 million obligation under its prepayment agreement at Kensington and exercised an option to receive an additional $15.0 million prepayment, resulting in a net cash inflow of approximately $7.9 million in the second quarter. Coeur expects the $15.0 million cash outflow under the arrangement to occur over the next two quarters.
Strategic Investment in Victoria
During the second quarter, Coeur entered into an agreement to acquire roughly 11.1 million outstanding common shares of Victoria (approximately 17.8% of issued and outstanding shares on an undiluted basis at time of transaction) from Orion Co-VI Ltd. (“Orion”) at a price of C$13.20 per share, reflecting a 5% discount to the trailing 30-day volume weighted price for the period ended May 7, 2021.
In connection with the transaction, Orion received roughly 12.8 million shares of Coeur common stock (approximately 4.9% of issued and outstanding shares on an undiluted basis at time of transaction), based on the trailing 30-day volume weighted price of $9.17 per share, for the period ended May 7, 2021. The transaction was completed on May 14, 2021 for consideration of approximately $118.8 million. The value of Victoria’s shares held by Coeur totaled approximately $164.7 million as of June 30, 2021.
Liquidity Update
Maintaining balance sheet flexibility remains a key element of Coeur’s strategy. The Company ended the second quarter with total liquidity of approximately $389.1 million, including $124.1 million of cash and no borrowings under its $300.0 million revolving credit facility (“RCF”)4. Additionally, the aggregate borrowing capacity under its RCF may be increased by up to $100.0 million.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company also had $174.4 million of strategic investments in equity securities and the full $100.0 million available under its at-the-market common stock offering program it established in April 2020.
Hedging Update
During the second quarter, the Company added to its hedge position by executing additional zero-cost collar hedges on 6,000 ounces of its expected 2022 gold production. Coeur previously completed its gold hedging program for 2021 and continues to proactively monitor market conditions to potentially layer in additional hedges on up to 50% of expected gold production in 2022. The Company’s silver price exposure remains unhedged. An overview of the hedges currently implemented is outlined below:
| 2021 | 2022 | |||||||
| Gold Ounces Hedged | 79,350 | 132,000 | ||||||
| Avg. Ceiling ($/oz) | $1,882 | $2,038 | ||||||
| Avg. Floor ($/oz) | $1,600 | $1,630 | ||||||
Rochester Expansion
The Company continued to execute major construction activities on the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester during the second quarter, with overall progress approximately 31% complete at the end of the period. Key elements of the project timeline remain on schedule and are highlighted below:
| Expected Start Date | Target Completion Date | |||||||
| Leach Pad (Incl. Ancillary Facilities) | 2H 2020 P | Mid-2022 | ||||||
| Merrill-Crowe Process Plant | 1H 2021 P | YE 2022 | ||||||
| Crushing Circuit | 1H 2021 P | YE 2022 | ||||||
| Supporting Infrastructure | 2H 2020 P | Mid-2022 | ||||||
Coeur began placing over-liner material on the Stage VI leach pad approximately six weeks ahead of schedule following the successful swap-out of the secondary crushing unit. The Company also mobilized a cement batch plant, began construction of a new high-voltage power line and started executing electrical substation upgrades during the period. Concrete foundation work for the Merrill-Crowe process plant and crusher corridor is expected to commence during the third quarter. Additionally, structural steel erection for the crusher corridor is expected to begin in early 2022.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has committed approximately $334 million of capital since the inception of the expansion project in the third quarter of 2020, including 76 executed contracts valued at approximately $309 million. There are six packages yet to be awarded, including two structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation construction contracts for the Merrill-Crowe process plant and crushing circuit, respectively. The Company has begun to see signs of inflationary pressures on recent bids received for the remaining uncommitted contracts related to building materials, fuel and overall tightness in the construction market.
5
Additionally, Coeur has elected to allocate approximately $20 million of additional capital investment to further enhance the project’s economics and de-risk the execution of the project. The majority of this incremental capital is expected to be incurred in 2022.
The Company is also reviewing additional optimization opportunities based on key learnings from HPGR-placed material onto the current Stage IV leach pad since late 2019. The results from this work are expected to be available during the second half of 2021.
Coeur secured a capital lease package for nearly $60 million during the quarter, higher than its original target of $50 million. The package is earmarked for planned equipment purchases for the project in 2021 and 2022, and has an interest rate of 5.20%.

•Second quarter gold and silver production totaled 27,595 and 1.7 million ounces, respectively, compared to 28,605 and 1.6 million ounces in the prior period. Gold and silver production in the second quarter of 2020 totaled 15,223 and 0.9 million ounces, respectively, reflecting a temporary suspension to comply with a COVID-19-related government decree
•Production during the quarter benefited from a 7% increase in mill throughput driven by a re-sequencing of the mine plan due to geotechnically-challenging conditions encountered during the first half of the year, partially offset by lower average gold and silver grades
Financial
•Second quarter adjusted CAS1 for gold and silver on a co-product basis increased 7% and 21% to $662 and $13.34 per ounce, respectively, compared to the prior quarter, largely driven by slightly lower average grades, higher mining rates, underground rehabilitation activities, and comparatively higher gold sales under Palmarejo’s gold stream agreement, which impacted the allocation of costs on a co-product basis
•Capital expenditures remained relatively consistent quarter-over-quarter at $9.8 million, reflecting continued investment in business improvement projects, underground development and infill drilling
•Free cash flow1 in the second quarter totaled $23.6 million compared to $3.2 million in the prior period, largely driven by the payment of cash income and mining taxes in the first quarter
Exploration

•Exploration investment for the second quarter totaled approximately $3.6 million ($1.8 million expensed and $1.8 million capitalized), compared to roughly $3.0 million ($1.7 million expensed and $1.3 million capitalized) in the prior period
•Up to eight surface and underground core rigs were active during the quarter. A total of approximately 71,200 feet (21,675 meters) were drilled during the period, including 22,900 feet (6,975 meters) of expansion and 48,300 feet (14,700 meters) of infill drilling
•Infill drilling focused on specific zones within the Independencia and Guadalupe deposits. Surface rigs targeted areas of the Hidalgo and La Patria zones (located within the Independencia and Guadalupe deposits, respectively) as well as the northern portion of the Independencia zone, while underground rigs focused on the southern portion of the Independencia zone
•Expansion drilling during the quarter focused on the Hidalgo and El Ojito (located in the northeastern portion of the Independencia deposit) zones
•Expansion and greenfield target generation is anticipated to continue moving north, northwest and east from the Independencia and Guadalupe deposits while infill drilling is expected to continue on the La Patria, North Independencia, Hidalgo and La Bavisa zones
•In parallel, a new initiative to evaluate, target and drill the Guazapares district (located east of the Palmarejo district and outside of the gold stream area of influence) was launched with the expectation of drilling to begin in the second half of the year
•Coeur plans for nine drill rigs to be active at Palmarejo in the third quarter and expects to maintain that pace for the remainder of the year
Other
•Approximately 46% (14,097 ounces) of Palmarejo’s gold sales in the second quarter were sold under its gold stream agreement at a price of $800 per ounce. The Company anticipates approximately 40% - 45% of Palmarejo’s gold sales for 2021 will be sold under the stream agreement
Guidance
•Full-year 2021 production is expected to be 100,000 - 110,000 ounces of gold and 6.5 - 7.8 million ounces of silver
•CAS1 are expected to be $635 - $735 per gold ounce (previously $710 - $810 per ounce) and $11.75 - $12.75 per silver ounce (previously $11.00 - $12.00 per ounce). The revised figures largely reflect an anticipated change in the allocation of costs on a co-product basis
•Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $40 - $45 million

•Silver and gold production increased 15% and 5% quarter-over-quarter to 0.9 million and 7,232 ounces, respectively. Year-over-year silver and gold production increased 22% and 40%, respectively
•Higher silver production was primarily driven by the breakthrough of material placed on inter-lift liners in the prior period, while gold production continued to benefit from the stacking of additional run-of-mine material during the first half of the year
•Coeur successfully completed the swap-out of the secondary crushing unit, helping the Company begin placing over-liner material on the Stage VI leach pad approximately six weeks ahead of schedule. Importantly, initial results from the new crusher have shown improvements in throughput, particle size distribution and leachability
•The Company also completed the fourth phase of its inter-lift liner strategy late in the quarter, helping to facilitate the placement of HPGR-crushed ore on shallower portions of the Stage IV leach pad
Financial
•Second quarter costs applicable to sales2 figures shown in the table above and highlighted below include a non-cash inventory charge of approximately $8.6 million related to a change in the Company’s recovery rate assumption on the Stage IV leach pad
•Second quarter adjusted CAS1 for silver and gold on a co-product basis totaled $26.09 and $1,787 per ounce, respectively, compared to $19.07 and $1,300 per ounce in the prior period, largely driven by the non-cash charge as well as higher diesel and maintenance costs. Excluding the non-cash charge, second quarter adjusted CAS1 for silver and gold on a co-product basis totaled $20.13 and $1,379 per ounce, respectively
•Capital expenditures increased 40% quarter-over-quarter to $42.3 million, reflecting an acceleration in the level of investment in the POA 11 expansion project as well as the ramp up of sustaining projects
•Free cash flow1 in the second quarter remained relatively consistent at $(38.3) million

•Mining and processing activities were temporarily suspended at Silvertip on February 19, 2020 (unrelated to COVID-19)
Operational
•Ongoing technical work and successful exploration results continue to bolster Coeur’s confidence in a potential expansion and restart of Silvertip. The Company is currently working with SNC-Lavalin to complete engineering for the expansion, better define the estimated capital investment and develop a new mine plan based on continued successful drilling results
•Coeur also signed an early works construction contract with Kiewit Corporation during the quarter to (i) take advantage of the summer construction season to complete several surface projects to de-risk the schedule, (ii) help facilitate the execution of major construction, and (iii) preserve optionality for a potential restart of active mining and processing activities in 2023
•The scope of early works includes foundation preparation and decommissioning of certain sections of the mill, primarily focused on the flotation, de-watering and filtration circuits, that would be upgraded as part of an expansion
13
•The Company plans to release an updated mine plan and economic analysis for Silvertip in early 2022 and file a new technical report that will incorporate an updated reserve and resource as well as an optimized capital estimate reflecting a 1,750 tonnes per day flowsheet
Financial
•Ongoing carrying costs in the second quarter were $6.4 million, compared to $6.9 million in the prior period
•Capital expenditures during the second quarter totaled $18.5 million compared to $10.4 million in the prior period, largely reflecting additional work related to the potential restart and expansion of Silvertip
Exploration
•Exploration investment in the second quarter totaled approximately $5.2 million ($3.6 million expensed and $1.6 million capitalized), compared to roughly $4.5 million ($2.9 million expensed and $1.6 million capitalized) in the prior period
•Five core rigs were active during the quarter, three rigs were on surface and two were underground. A total of approximately 86,200 feet (26,250 meters) were drilled during the period, including 62,400 feet (19,000 meters) of expansion and 23,800 feet (7,250 meters) of infill drilling
•Infill and expansion drilling (both from surface and underground) focused on the 65 zone (including the recently discovered Southern Silver zone), and Discovery, Camp Creek and Tour Ridge zones
•After successfully intercepting mineralization, underground drilling ramped up with two rigs focused on expanding the 65 zone, including the Southern Silver zone
•As modeling began to show the shape of the Southern Silver zone, a surface rig commenced infill drilling to better define the zone. Notably, it appears that the Southern Silver zone connects the Silver Creek zone (an original source of mining material) with the Discovery South zone (drilled in 2020), representing potential for meaningful resource growth at Silvertip
•Underground drilling is scheduled to remain focused on expansion and infill targets within the Southern Silver zone over the coming months, while three to four active surface rigs are expected to continue targeting the Camp Creek, Southern Silver and Tour Ridge zones
Other
•Coeur repurchased an existing net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) at Silvertip for $7.0 million during the second quarter. The terms of the NSR required payment of 1.429% (plus gross up for applicable withholding taxes) of net smelter returns on the first 1,434,000 metric tonnes of mineralized material mined, and 1.00% (plus gross up for applicable withholding taxes) thereafter, from the mining lease that covers the current Silvertip mine resource base and exploration targets described in the Company’s press release published on June 15, 2021
Guidance
•Given ongoing engineering and technical work as well as the commencement of early works with respect to a potential expansion and restart, capital expenditures are expected to total $75 - $90 million (previously $35 - $45 million) in 2021 depending on weather conditions and availability of supplies and labor

Exploration
During the second quarter, the Company drilled a record of roughly 320,400 feet (97,675 meters) at a total investment of approximately $18.6 million ($12.4 million expensed and $6.2 million capitalized), compared to roughly 256,500 feet (78,175 meters) at a total investment of approximately $14.9 million ($9.7 million expensed and $5.2 million capitalized) in the prior period. The increase in exploration activity was largely driven by a ramp up of drilling at Palmarejo, Rochester and Crown as well as the continuation of expansion and infill programs across the rest of the Company’s portfolio.
Up to four drill rigs were active at Crown during the second quarter. Three reverse circulation rigs drilled expansion holes at Daisy, SNA and C-Horst, while one diamond core rig was active at Daisy, Secret Pass, SNA and C-Horst to better characterize metallurgic and geologic domains. The Company drilled approximately 64,800 feet (19,750 meters) during the quarter, compared to approximately 40,300 feet (12,275 meters) in the prior period.
Coeur plans to continue the same pace of exploration at Crown for the remainder of the year, with three reverse circulation rigs scheduled to conduct expansion drilling within its 300-acre disturbance permit on the property. The Company also expects to receive an amended disturbance permit during the third quarter to begin expanding C-Horst to the south. A core rig is planned to be used intermittently at Crown, shared with Rochester, to infill specific resource shapes to gather additional metallurgical and engineering information.
Coeur’s exploration programs continue to generate meaningful new discoveries and identify future growth opportunities. Accordingly, the Company expects to invest $70 - $80 million in exploration in 2021 (previously $63 - $72 million), including $52 - $57 million (previously $46 - $51 million) and $18 - $23 million (previously $17 - $21 million) of expensed and capitalized drilling, respectively. The increase in expected expensed exploration reflects additional planned expansion drilling at Silvertip and Crown, while higher capitalized exploration is largely related to additional planned infill drilling at Kensington.
