Ron Clayton, President and CEO of Tahoe, commented: "While the turn of events in Guatemala over the last several weeks is disappointing, our team is working very hard to resolve both the Escobal license suspension and on-going road block in Casillas. I am very pleased with our overall Q2 performance, with all of our operations turning in good results. Silver production was 4.1 million ounces for the quarter and when combined with Q1 results, puts us at almost 10 million ounces year-to-date. Per ounce metrics remained strong at Escobal, even with the mill curtailing production during a portion of June due to the road blockages. We also continue to be pleased with the results from all of our gold mines, with each operation's production and costs coming in at, or better than, expected levels."

Summary of Q2 2017:

Another solid quarter at Escobal – Tahoe reported total silver production in Q2 2017 of 4.1 million ounces driven by robust results at Escobal despite a curtailment of production in June due to the Casillas road blockages. Total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") were $6.73 and $10.01 per ounce of silver produced, net of byproduct credits, respectively.

Robust results from all three gold operations – Q2 2017 gold production totaled 112.4 thousand ounces, including 21 thousand ounces from Shahuindo. Production and costs in Q2 2017 reflected strong results at all of the Company's mines, with total cash costs and AISC averaging $601 and $925 per ounce in Q2 2017.

Earnings per share and cash flow driven by strong revenue and low costs – Earnings and adjusted earnings in Q2 2017 were $33.5 million and $33.8 million, respectively, and were both $0.11 on a per share basis. Q2 2017 cash flow provided by operating activities was $115.5 million, up from the previous quarter.

Bell Creek Shaft and Shahuindo Expansion plans remain on track – Capital expenditures in Q2 2017 totaled $63.4 million, of which $26.2 million was related to on-going growth projects. The Company continues to focus on the expansion at Shahuindo and the Bell Creek shaft project. Exploration expenditures in Q2 2017 totaled $5.9 million and remain focused on those targets which can have near term impact on Mineral Reserves or Resources.

Update on Escobal Mining License – On July 5, 2017, the Company learned that the Supreme Court of Guatemala issued a provisional decision in respect of an action brought by the anti-mining organization, CALAS, against Guatemala's Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM"). The action alleges that MEM violated the Xinca Indigenous people's right of consultation in advance of granting the Escobal mining license to Tahoe's Guatemalan subsidiary, Minera San Rafael. The provisional decision follows a request by CALAS to temporarily suspend the license to operate the Escobal mine until the action is fully heard. The provisional decision suspends the Escobal mining license of Minera San Rafael while the action is being reviewed by the court. The Company was not a party to the action commenced by CALAS but this decision confers legal standing on the Company which continues take all legal steps possible to have the ruling reversed and the license reinstated.

The Company immediately appealed the decision to the Constitutional Court. Based on its prior experience with Guatemalan court proceedings and evaluation of similar cases before the courts, the Company estimates the Constitutional Court could rule on the appeal within the next three months. We are seeking to have the license reinstated during this period. The Company also filed a motion for reconsideration with the Supreme Court, which the Court denied on July 28, 2017. Final resolution of the definitive constitutional claim and appeal process could take between 12 and 18 months.

Update on Guatemala Road Block – Beginning on June 7, a group of protesters near the town of Casillas blocked the primary road that connects Guatemala City to the Escobal Mine near San Rafael Las Flores. Protests, which have not dissipated, appear to have initially been related to a variety of issues, including some unfounded claims that mining at Escobal is causing seismic activity approximately 20 kilometers away. Operations were reduced between June 8 and June 19 and were further curtailed on June 19 to conserve fuel. The Company is working with the government, community leaders and others to resolve the situation peacefully and expeditiously. However, the road blockage shows no signs of immediate resolution and we cannot predict at this time when the road will be clear to enable the transport of materials in and out of the mine. Once the roadblock is resolved and the license is reinstated, the Company expects to resume production within a week.

Cessation of dividend – The Company announced the cessation of the dividend, beginning August 8, 2017, due to the ruling of the Guatemalan court to provisionally suspend the Escobal mining license. The dividend cessation is intended to protect the health of the Company's balance sheet and ensure the Company has the financial flexibility during the temporary suspension of Escobal operations. The cessation of the dividend will conserve approximately $65 million cash annually at current dividend reinvestment program ("DRIP") enrollment rates. The Board of Directors will continue to reassess the Company's dividend policy from time to time. The Company has also suspended the active operation of its DRIP effective immediately. The Company may wish to reactivate the DRIP, subject to regulatory approval, at a future date. During the period of suspension of the DRIP, participants may continue to have their existing reinvested common shares held in the DRIP, or they may request a withdrawal by contacting Computershare. Total dividends of $18.7 million were paid to shareholders during the quarter, including $3.2 million in non-cash share-based dividends. A dividend of $6.2 million was declared and paid ($5.4 million cash, $0.8 million shares) in July.

Suspension of 2017 and multi-year guidance – The Company has suspended previously issued 2017 and multi-year company-wide guidance given the uncertainty of timing of various court decisions related to the Escobal license. Gold production and total cash costs are expected to meet targets of 375,000 to 425,000 ounces of gold and total cash costs of $700 to $750⁽¹⁾ at operations in Canada and Peru in 2017. We will issue updated guidance when we have clarity on the status of the Escobal license in Guatemala.

Amended and restated credit facility – On July 18, 2017 the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders to increase its revolving credit facility from $150 million to $300 million with a $50 million accordion feature, and to extend the term to July 19, 2021. The Agreement includes terms that limit borrowing to a maximum of $75 million during the period of suspension of the mining license at Escobal as a result of the CALAS claim in Guatemala, as further described in the Company's July 5, 2017 press release. In the event the Company's mining license at Escobal remains suspended as of April 1, 2018, an Event of Default shall occur and the Company will consider alternative financing arrangements to meet strategic needs. Other terms and conditions are substantially similar to those in the previous $150 million credit facility, including the discretion to pay dividends under the Company's existing dividend policy. The credit facility is secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries: Escobal Resources Holding Limited, Minera San Rafael, S.A., Tahoe Resources ULC, Lake Shore Gold Corp., Mexican Silver Mines Limited, La Arena S.A., Shahuindo SAC and Shahuindo Exploraciones. Additionally, the credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, merge, consolidate, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any other person.

Class Action Lawsuits - On July 7, 2017, the Company learned that three purported class action lawsuits were filed against Tahoe, and certain of its current and former officers and directors under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "US Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5, thereunder. The lawsuits allege that the Company made untrue statements of material facts or omitted to state material facts or engaged in acts that operated as a fraud upon the purchases of the Company's stock. The lawsuits were filed following the issuance of a provisional decision by the Guatemalan Supreme Court described above. The lawsuits allege compensatory damages, interest, fees and costs. The Company disputes the allegations raised and will vigorously defend the lawsuits.

La Arena II and Investor Day

Due to the suspension of company-wide multi-year guidance and ongoing review of capital and exploration programs, the La Arena II PEA has been deferred and the investor day originally planned for September 14, 2017 has been canceled.

Mr. Clayton continued, "We are not able to reconfirm previously issued Company-wide 2017 and multi-year guidance at this time; however, we remain confident that our gold operations will meet production and cost targets this year. We expect the gold mines in Canada and Peru will continue to produce strong results through the remainder of the year. Following the court decision in Guatemala regarding the Escobal license, the Board made the prudent decision to cease the dividend. Additionally, we are reviewing the pace of both capital and exploration expenditures, along with corporate G&A, to identify opportunities to conserve cash. We are continuing with the expansion plans at Shahuindo and Bell Creek. We are close to completing the initial circuit of our crushing and agglomeration plant at Shahuindo, scheduled for the second half of this year. We also continue to advance work to expand Shahuindo to 36,000 tonnes per day and Bell Creek mine to 80,000 ounces per year by late 2018."

Addition to Management Team

Alexandra Barrows will join the Company as Vice President, Investor Relations, effective September 5, 2017. She will be responsible for the engagement of the investor community and key stakeholders as well as the development of external communications for the Company. Prior to joining Tahoe, Ms. Barrows was a Senior Vice President at HSBC Securities in New York, focused on Metals & Mining clients across the Americas. She spent 10 years at HSBC in progressively senior roles covering clients within the mining and resources sectors. Mr. Clayton commented, "We are very excited to have Alexandra join our team in the fall. She brings extensive experience in corporate and project finance and capital markets within the mining sector."

During Q2 2017, the majority of the production was mined from primary and secondary transverse longhole stopes on multiple production sublevels in the Escobal Central Zone. Production continued in the East Zone with approximately 47 thousand tonnes of ore delivered to surface during Q2 2017.

Underground ramp, sublevel and stope development continued to advance in support of the life of mine production schedule, with approximately 2,000 metres of development and 37,000 metres of longhole production drilling completed in Q2 2017. Mine operations were reduced between June 8 and June 19 to conserve fuel and operations were further curtailed on June 19 due to road blockages.

In Q2 2017 concentrate production totaled 4.3 thousand dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of lead concentrate and 5.3 thousand dmt of zinc concentrate containing 3.9 million payable ounces of silver that were shipped to third party smelters. Concentrate production for Q2 YTD 2017 totaled 9.4 thousand dmt of lead concentrate and 11.3 thousand dmt zinc concentrate containing approximately 9.1 million payable ounces of silver. There is approximately 9 thousand tonnes of crushed ore held in the fine ore bin and approximately 60 thousand tonnes in the surface ore stockpile available to expedite the restart of the mill.

Pit development and production

Production from the Shahuindo pit placed 27.6 thousand and 47.9 thousand gold ounces on the leach pads during Q2 2017and Q2 YTD 2017, respectively. Fine-grained siltstone ore continues being blended with coarser-grained sandstone ores in order to optimize leaching permeability. This is expected to continue until the initial crushing and agglomeration circuit is commissioned in Q3 2017.

Absorption, desorption and refining process plant

The Shahuindo plant recovered 21.3 thousand and 40.7 thousand ounces of gold during Q2 2017 and Q2 YTD 2017, respectively. Secondary leaching at Pad 1 continues to contribute ounces to gold production. Primary leaching is now focused on Pad 2A which is resulting in fast leach cycles attributable to the optimization of coarse/fine ore blending. The average area under leach was 9.0 hectares during Q2 2017. Overall gold recovery increased to 63% at the end of Q2 2017, in line with the ramp up to an ultimate recovery of 67% for run-of-mine material.

Capital projects

Detailed engineering of the foundation platform for Pad 2B was completed in June 2017 and construction will begin in the third quarter. Pad 2B is scheduled to be placed into production in Q3 2018.

Phase 1 of the south waste rock dump is pending final approval by the local mining authority. The south waste rock dump has sufficient capacity to accommodate waste rock material mined from the Shahuindo pit through the end of 2018.

Construction of the initial 12,000 tpd crushing and agglomeration circuit continued in Q2. The project remains on schedule for commissioning in Q3 2017. The Company anticipates finalizing the purchase order for the additional 24,000 tpd crushing and agglomeration equipment in early Q3 2017 with installation complete and commissioning underway by mid-year 2018. The project is planned to reach the full 36,000 tpd production rate by the end of 2018, providing an expected 80% ultimate gold recovery, in line with the pre-feasibility study. The project remains on schedule and budget.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures throughout this document which include total cash costs, all-in sustaining costs per silver and per gold ounce ("all-in sustaining costs"), adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital. These measures are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not be considered in isolation. The Company's Escobal mine primarily produces silver in concentrates with other metals (gold, lead and zinc), produced simultaneously in the mining process, the value of which represents a small percentage of the Company's revenue from Escobal and is therefore considered "by-product". The Company's La Arena, Shahuindo and Timmins mines primarily produce gold with other metals (primarily silver), produced simultaneously in the mining process, the value of which represents a small percentage of the Company's revenue from these mines and is therefore considered "by-product". The Company believes these measures may provide investors and analysts with useful information about the Company's underlying earnings, cash costs of operations, the impact of by-product credits on the Company's cost structure and its ability to generate cash flow, as well as providing a meaningful comparison to other mining companies. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be substituted for GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently by other companies depending on the underlying accounting principles and policies applied.

The Company also reports total operating costs (cost of sales) per ounce. The Company believes that this metric is important in assessing the performance of each of the Company's sold metals and as a meaningful GAAP-based comparison to other mining companies. Total operating costs (cost of sales) per ounce sold is calculated by dividing total the operating costs by gold ounces sold. Total operating costs (cost of sales) includes production costs, depreciation and depletion and royalties. The reconciliation of total operating costs (cost of sales) to total cash costs is included in the total cash cost and total production cost tables below. Comparative periods have been updated to reflect current period presentation. There is no impact to current or prior period disclosed numbers due to the inclusion of this metric.

Consolidated adjusted earnings and consolidated adjusted earnings per share

The Company has adopted the reporting of consolidated adjusted earnings ("adjusted earnings)" and consolidated adjusted earnings per share ("adjusted earnings per share") as a non-GAAP measure of a precious metals mining company's operating performance. This measure has no standardized meaning and the Company's presentation of adjusted measures are not meant to be substituted for GAAP measures of consolidated earnings or consolidated earnings per share and should be read in conjunction with such GAAP measures. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are calculated as earnings excluding i) non-cash impairment losses and reversals on mineral interests and other assets, ii) unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses related to the revaluation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities on non-monetary items, iii) unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses related to other items, iv) unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, v) loss on extinguishment of the Lake Shore Debentures, vi) gains or losses on sale of assets and vii) costs related to the acquisition of Lake Shore Gold and the related tax impact of these adjustments calculated at the statutory effective rate for the same jurisdiction as the adjustment. Non-recurring adjustments from unusual events or circumstances are reviewed periodically based on materiality and the nature of the event or circumstance.

The Company calculates adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share on a consolidated basis.

Total cash costs before and net of by-product credits

The Company reports total cash costs on a silver ounce and a gold ounce produced basis for the Escobal mine and the La Arena, Shahuindo and Timmins mines, respectively. The Company follows the recommendation of the cost standard as endorsed by the Silver Institute ("the Institute") for the reporting of total cash costs (silver) and the generally accepted standard of reporting total cash costs (gold) by precious metal mining companies. The Institute is a nonprofit international association with membership from across the silver industry and serves as the industry's voice in increasing public understanding of the many uses and values of silver. This remains the generally accepted standard for reporting cash costs of silver production by silver mining companies. The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are realistic indicators of operating performance and are useful in performing year over year comparisons. However, these non-GAAP measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS, and these measures, taken by themselves, are not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Total cash costs are divided by the number of silver ounces contained in concentrate or gold ounces recovered from the leach pads to calculate per ounce figures. When deriving the total cash costs associated with an ounce of silver or gold, the Company deducts by-product credits from sales which are incidental to producing silver and gold.

Total cash costs per ounce of produced silver net of by-product credits incorporate all production costs, including adjustments to inventory carrying values, adjusted for changes in estimates in reclamation which are non-cash in nature, and include by-product gold, lead and zinc credits, and treatment and refining charges included within revenue.

In addition to conventional measures, the Company assesses this per ounce measure in a manner that isolates the impacts of silver production volumes, the by-product credits, and operating costs fluctuations such that the non-controllable and controllable variability is independently addressed. The Company uses total cash costs per ounce of produced silver net of by-product credits to monitor its operating performance internally, including operating cash costs, as well as in its assessment of potential development projects and acquisition targets. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about the Company's underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits on the Company's cost structure and is a relevant metric used to understand the Company's operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. When deriving the production costs associated with an ounce of silver, the Company includes by-product credits as the Company considers that the cost to produce the silver is reduced as a result of the by-product sales incidental to the silver production process, thereby allowing the Company's management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of silver production.

All-in sustaining costs

The Company has also adopted the reporting of all-in sustaining costs as a non-GAAP measure of a precious metals mining company's ability to generate cash flow from operations. This measure has no standardized meaning and the Company has utilized an adapted version of the guidance released by the World Gold Council ("WGC"), the market development organization for the gold industry. The WGC is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards or disclosure requirements.

All-in sustaining costs include total cash costs incurred at the Company's mining operations, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, exploration and evaluations costs, and reclamation and closure accretion. The Company believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing silver and gold from current operations, and provides the Company and other stakeholders of the Company with additional information of the Company's operational performance and ability to generate cash flows. AISC, as a key performance measure, allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures and to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows. This information provides management with the ability to more actively manage capital programs and to make more prudent capital investment decisions.

Cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital

Cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital represents the cash flows generated by operating activities after adjusting for interest expense, income tax expense and financing fees as well as items not involving cash but before changes in working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities represents the cash flows generating by operating activities after changes in working capital and income taxes paid. Management believes that these measures provides useful information to investors to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flows from its mining operations.

The non-GAAP measures described above do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. As such, there are likely to be differences in the method of computation when compared to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers.

Although management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
