Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE) (TSX:CDM) (ASX:CXC)
today announced record quarterly sales and operating cash flow,
driven by its two new, long-life gold and silver mines in Mexico
and Bolivia. The Company’s Kensington gold mine in Alaska, the
world’s newest pure gold mine, began processing ore in the second
quarter ahead of schedule and is expected to drive a 135% increase
in companywide gold production this year over last year’s
levels.
Companywide metal sales jumped nearly $33 million, or 49%, to a
record $101.0 million, compared to last year’s second quarter,
aided by strong production and robust metals prices. Operating cash
flow increased 116% compared to last year’s second quarter to a
quarterly Company record of $32.5 million, driven by Coeur’s
Palmarejo and San Bartolomé mines, which started operations within
the past two years.
“Coeur made significant progress this quarter, and we are
pleased to have achieved the highest metal sales and operating cash
flow in Company history. As our third of three new, long-life,
precious metals mines comes on-stream, our strategy has us
well-positioned to take advantage of the continued strength in
precious metals prices,” said Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Coeur. “The successful and
early start-up of our Kensington gold mine in Alaska, together with
Palmarejo and San Bartolomé should continue to deliver record
growth in metal sales and cash flow for shareholders.”
“Companywide, we remain on-track to produce approximately 17.3
million ounces of silver this year with annual gold production
increasing over 135% to 170,000 ounces,” concluded Mr. Wheeler.
The Company produced 4.2 million ounces of silver and 23,124
ounces of gold compared to 3.9 million ounces of silver and 13,795
ounces of gold during last year’s second quarter. Cash operating
costs declined to $8.06 per ounce of silver versus $8.57 per ounce
during last year’s second quarter. Silver production contributed
73% of the Company’s total metal sales during the second quarter
compared to 84% during the second quarter of 2009.
For the first six months of 2010, metal sales increased nearly
$78 million, or approximately 70%, to a record $189.3 million.
Coeur produced 7.6 million ounces of silver and 48,907 ounces of
gold during the first six months of 2010, compared to 7.4 million
ounces of silver and 17,586 ounces of gold during last year’s first
half. Cash operating costs averaged $7.77 per ounce of silver.
Silver production contributed 70% of the Company’s total metal
sales during the first half of 2010 compared to 87% during the
first half of 2009.

Identifying Next Steps to Boost Operating
Performance
Many important milestones were achieved during the second
quarter as part of the Company’s on-going optimization program,
which are expected to increase production and lower costs during
the remainder of 2010. These include:
- Commissioning of Merrill Crowe
refining plant during June
- Mining transitioned in June from
development activities to mining of higher-grade ore from
underground production stopes
- Improved ore sorting and
blending procedures for the various ore types at Palmarejo
- Second quarter production
increased to 1.1 million ounces compared to 587,716 ounces last
year’s second quarter, (the mine’s initial quarter of operations),
while gold production increased to 19,950 ounces compared to 9,730
ounces last year
- First half silver production
totaled 2.4 million ounces while gold production was 42,527
ounces
- Cash operating costs averaged
$10.78 per ounce of silver during the quarter and $7.83 per ounce
of silver during the first half of 2010 versus $19.44 per ounce
during last year’s second quarter and first six months
- 5.4 million silver ounces and
97,267 gold ounces have been produced in total, representing less
than 9% of total contained mineral reserves
In July, silver production increased 50% while gold production
jumped 58%, marking the mine’s second highest month of gold
production since inception. Cash operating costs during July were

second quarter were $18.56 per ounce and $1,176 per ounce,
representing increases of 35% and 26% over prior year quarter.
During the first half of 2010, the Company’s average realized
silver and gold prices were $17.74 per ounce and $1,138 per ounce,
representing increases of 34% and 22% compared to the first half of
2009.
Financial
Highlights
The Company reported operating income of $1.9 million during the
quarter compared to an $8.8 million operating loss during last
year’s second quarter. During the first six months of 2010, the
Company reported operating income of $1.0 million versus an $8.5
million operating loss during the first six months of 2009.
The Company’s financial statements reflect several non-cash
adjustments. The largest component of these non-cash adjustments
relates to its obligation to make royalty payments on a minimum of
400,000 ounces of future gold production from the Palmarejo silver
and gold mine. This royalty financing transaction was completed in
January of 2009, providing the Company with $75 million of cash
used to complete the construction at Palmarejo. This minimum
obligation requires the Company to account for the
quarter-to-quarter changes in these estimated future payments as a
derivative. As the gold price rises (or declines) from quarter to
quarter, the estimated future value of these royalty payments
changes. This causes quarterly, non-cash, unrealized adjustments to
flow through the Company’s income statement.
For the quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $50.7
million, or ($0.57) per share. This net loss includes $46.6 million
of negative non-cash adjustments.2 During last year’s second
quarter, the Company reported net income of $11.6 million, or $0.17
per share, which included $18.5 million in positive non-cash
adjustments.3
During the first six months of 2010, the Company reported a net
loss of $58.8 million, or ($0.69) per share. This net loss includes
$58.7 million of negative non-cash adjustments.4 During the first
six months of 2009, the Company reported net income of $17.7
million, or $0.27 per share, which included $24.8 million of
positive non-cash adjustments.5
At June 30th, 2010, cash and equivalents totaled $41.2 million
and the Company had approximately 89.3 million shares
outstanding.
Exploration
Highlights
The Company’s exploration strategy is largely focused on
drilling activities on its large land positions surrounding
existing operations. This strategy has generated very
cost-effective, near-term additions to the Company’s substantial
mineral reserve and resource base.
Palmarejo (Mexico)
The Palmarejo exploration program, which completed a total of
12,359 meters (40,458 feet) of core drill in the second quarter,
focused on several promising targets around the existing surface
and underground mines.
In addition, drilling recommenced on the Guadalupe Norte zone at
the north end of the long Guadalupe mineral system in the Palmarejo
District where a total of 7,420 meters (24,344 feet) of core drill
was completed in the second quarter. Favorable results were
obtained from several of the known ore shoots (clavos). Notable
results are; 18.5 meters true width @ 3.51 g/t Au, 249 g/t Ag in
core hole RN-008 from Rosario Norte, 16.1 m @ 1.95 Au, 252 Ag in
hole 0004 from Tucson, 7.3 m @ 20.33 Au, 1,006 Ag in hole 032 from
108 Clavo, 2.3 m @ 30.12 Au, 2,416 Ag in hole 0039 from 76 Clavo
and 6.1 meters @ 5.67 Au and 157 Ag from hole 351 in Guadalupe
Norte.
Kensington (Alaska)
With Kensington now in production, the Company started
exploration in the second quarter of 2010. The main focus of this
work was on the Horrible structure, a prominent, gold-bearing
quartz vein and vein swarm situated about 650 meters west of the
current Kensington mining area. A total of 9,941 feet (3,030
meters) of core drilling was completed at Horrible in the second
quarter. Drilling has cut multiple quartz-vein structures down-dip
and on-strike of the known zone. Drilling will continue on Horrible
and other nearby targets in the third quarter.
Martha and Joaquin (Argentina)
Exploration at the Martha mine in Argentina consisted of target
generation and drill site selection. In addition to Martha, the
Company also conducted exploration in other parts of the Santa Cruz
Province, about 80 kilometers north of Martha. In particular, the
Company focused on Joaquin, on which the Company has an option to
acquire up to a 71% managing joint venture interest. During the
second quarter, a fourth phase of drilling and further
reconnaissance to identify new targets commenced at Joaquin. The
best results were from La Negra, where a main zone measuring 1,000
meters on strike and up to 170 meters vertically has been defined,
as well as seven sub-parallel zones of silver and gold
mineralization.
Rochester (Nevada)
Late in the quarter, drilling commenced on new targets between
the Rochester and Packard mines. Over 3,700 feet of angled reverse
circulation drilling was completed on new targets in the
NE-trending structural corridor between the two mines. Numerous
geochemical anomalies have been defined in this belt and the
Company believes there is good potential to add to the total
mineral resource and reserves in this area. As of December 31,
2009, Rochester had 25,884,000 ounces of silver and 233,000 ounces
of gold in proven and probable reserves.
2010 Safety Award
In June, the Company’s Coeur South America exploration team
received a major award from the Chilean Safety Association (ACHS).
Coeur was awarded the “Honors
Award” in safety, the highest award that ACHS confers
every year among over 10,000 Chilean companies. Coeur was the only
company in the mining industry presented with an award, which
recognized the attention to safety from all Coeur South America
employees.
Donald J. Birak, Coeur’s Senior Vice President of Exploration
commented, “We are very pleased that the efforts of our South
American exploration team have been recognized by ACHS. While we
continue to operate at the highest safety standards, I would like
to congratulate our South American team for receiving this
important award, and thank all of our exploration groups
for their high level of attention to safety.”

Non-GAAP Measures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information
determined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including cash operating
costs. We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful
information to assist management, investors and analysts in
understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for
future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures
are important indicators of our recurring operations because they
exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to
our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for
analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. We also provide the
amount of our operating cash flow to supplement our cash flow
determined under GAAP. We define operating cash flow as net income
plus depreciation, depletion and amortization and plus/minus any
other non-cash items. We believe operating cash flow is an
important measure in assessing the Company's overall financial
performance.

(A) Palmarejo achieved commercial production on April 20,
2009.
(B) The leach cycle at Rochester requires 5 to 10 years to
recover gold and silver contained in the ore. The Company estimates
the ultimate recovery to be approximately 61.5% for silver and 93%
for gold. However, ultimate recoveries will not be known until
leaching operations cease, which is currently estimated for 2014.
Current recovery may vary significantly from ultimate recovery. See
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Ore on Leach Pad.
(C) Current production ounces and recoveries reflect final metal
settlements of previously reported production ounces.
(D) Units sold at realized metal prices will not match reported
metal sales due primarily to the effects on revenues of
mark-to-market adjustments on embedded derivatives in the Company’s
provisionally priced sales contracts.
“Operating Costs per Ounce” and “Cash Costs per Ounce” are
calculated by dividing the operating cash costs and cash costs
computed for each of the Company’s mining properties for a
specified period by the amount of gold ounces of silver ounces
produced by that property during that same period. Management uses
cash operating costs and cash costs per ounce as key indicators of
the profitability of each of its mining properties. Gold and silver
are sold and priced in the world financial markets on a U.S. dollar
per ounce basis.
“Cash Operating Costs” and “Cash Costs” are costs directly
related to the physical activities of producing silver and gold,
and include mining, processing and other plant costs, third-party
refining and smelting costs, marketing expenses, on-site general
and administrative costs, royalties, in-mine drilling expenditures
that are related to production and other direct costs. Sales of
by-product metals are deducted from the above in computing cash
costs. Cash costs exclude depreciation, depletion and amortization,
accretion, corporate general and administrative expenses,
exploration, interest, and pre-feasibility costs. Cash operating
costs include all cash costs except production taxes and royalties,
if applicable. Cash costs are calculated and presented using the
“Gold Institute Production Cost Standard” applied consistently for
all periods presented.
Total operating costs and cash costs per ounce are non-U.S. GAAP
measures and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
them it and are urged to read all U.S. GAAP accounting disclosures
presented in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
footnotes. In addition, see the reconciliation of “cash costs” to
production costs under “Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Cash Costs
to U.S. GAAP Production Costs” set forth below.
The following tables present reconciliation between non-U.S.
GAAP cash operating costs per ounce and cash costs per ounce to
production costs applicable to sales including depreciation,
depletion and amortization, which is calculated in accordance with
U.S. GAAP:
