“We are pleased to report all-time record sales and operating
cash flow for both the quarter and the first nine months,”
commented Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive
Officer. “In conjunction with strong prices, our rising production
levels and growing cash flow offer investors a unique investment
opportunity.
“The San Bartolomé and Palmarejo mines are performing
consistently, and the Rochester operation is now seeing production
from its recently-completed leach pad. We remain on track to
produce approximately 19.5 million ounces of silver at unchanged
cash operating costs5 of $5.75 per ounce and expect to achieve our
financial targets of $1.0 billion in total sales and over $500
million in operating cash flow1. We are revising our gold
production forecast for 2011 to approximately 220,000 ounces.”
Mr. Krebs continued, “One of our most critical objectives is to
deliver consistent results for our shareholders. While we are now
achieving consistency at San Bartolomé and Palmarejo, we still have
work to do at Kensington, which is the newest of our three,
long-life mines. We plan to temporarily reduce processing rates by
50% at Kensington over the next six months to allow time for the
operation to complete several key initiatives, which we expect to
better position the mine for long-term, sustainable and consistent
performance.
“Finally, our cash balance grew to $207.9 million at quarter
end. We are evaluating potential alternatives for returning capital
to shareholders. As we continue generating significant free cash
flow and achieve consistent performance from our operations, we
believe we will be well-positioned to invest in high-return
internal and external growth opportunities while also returning
capital to our shareholders.”

Operating cash flow is a non-U.S. GAAP measure defined as
net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization and other
non-cash items prior to changes in operating assets and
liabilities. On a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company generated cash flow
from operations of $181.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 and
$328.8 million in the first nine months of 2011. See the
reconciliation from non-U.S. GAAP to U.S. GAAP at the end of this
news release. 2 Adjusted earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure
defined as operating income plus interest and other income less

non-cash fair value adjustments, other non-cash adjustments,
deferred taxes and discontinued operations. The Company realized
net income of $31.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $82.1
million during the first nine months of 2011. See reconciliation
between non-U.S. GAAP adjusted earnings and U.S. GAAP at the end of
this news release. Adjusted earnings per share represent the
adjusted earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding at
the end of the quarter. 3 EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure defined
as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
A reconciliation of this measure to U.S. GAAP is provided at the
end of this news release. 4 Includes short and long-term
indebtedness; excludes capital leases, royalty obligations and
Mitsubishi gold lease facility. 5 Cash operating costs is a
non-U.S. GAAP measure defined as cash costs less production taxes
and royalties if applicable. See the reconciliation between
non-U.S. GAAP at the end of this news release. Consolidated cash
operating costs per silver ounce are net of gold by-product and
represent the consolidation of all Coeur’s mines except for
Kensington, which is a primary gold mine and reports cash operating
costs per gold ounce.
Net metal sales increased 190% to $343.6 million in the third
quarter compared to $118.6 million during last year’s third
quarter, primarily due to increased gold production from the
Kensington mine and higher silver production from the Palmarejo
mine as well as substantially higher average realized silver and
gold prices.
Silver production contributed 68% of the Company’s total metal
sales during the quarter compared to 62% during the third quarter
of 2010. Silver and gold ounces sold were higher than production
during the quarter due to several factors, including a carryover of
sales from the ounces produced but not sold during the prior
quarter.
Coeur reports a non-U.S. GAAP metric of adjusted earnings2 as a
measure of operating income and which excludes non-cash fair value
adjustments, other non-cash adjustments, deferred taxes and
discontinued operations. Third quarter adjusted earnings were $93.8
million or $1.05 per share, compared to an adjusted loss of ($4.5)
million or ($0.05) per share during last year’s third quarter.
The Company realized net income of $31.1 million or $0.35 per
share in the third quarter compared to a net loss of ($22.6)
million or ($0.25) per share in last year’s third quarter. The
earnings reflected fair value adjustments that decreased net income
by $53.4 million and $19.1 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These fair value
adjustments are driven primarily by higher gold prices which
increased the estimated future liabilities related to a gold
royalty obligation at Palmarejo and a small amount of gold collar
option positions related to a term credit facility secured by the
Company’s Alaskan subsidiary.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company generated cash flow from
operations of $181.9 million during the third quarter compared to
$12.9 million during the third quarter of 2010. Prior to changes in
working capital, Coeur generated operating cash flow1 of $151.0
million during the third quarter, almost five times higher than a
year ago.
Coeur reduced its total debt by 23% from $180.1 million a year
ago to $146.7 million, including principal repayments of $6.9
million on the Kensington term facility ($82.8 million remaining)
and $3.8 million in senior notes ($18.8 million remaining). As a
result, interest expense for the third quarter declined by $2.0
million from a year ago to $8.0 million. Subsequent to the end of
the third quarter, the Company eliminated the remaining senior
notes, resulting in a further 13% reduction in remaining debt to
$128 million.
Capital expenditures totaled $38.1 million during the third
quarter, which was slightly higher than during last year’s third
quarter. Most of the capital expenditures were at Rochester for
construction of the new leach pad, at Palmarejo related to
activities at the tailings facility and at Kensington for the
construction of the underground paste fill plant and for
underground development.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $207.9 million at September
30, 2011, almost double from June 30, 2011 and 214% higher than
year-end 2010.

5 Cash operating costs is a non-U.S. GAAP measure defined as
cash costs less production taxes and royalties if applicable. See
the reconciliation between non-U.S. GAAP at the end of this news
release. Consolidated cash operating costs per silver ounce are net
of gold by-product and represent the consolidation of all Coeur’s
mines except for Kensington, which is a primary gold mine and
reports cash operating costs per gold ounce.
During the third quarter, silver production reached 4.9 million
ounces while gold production totaled 57,052 ounces. Kensington
contributed 45% of the Company’s total gold production.
Consolidated cash operating costs were $7.57 per silver ounce in
the third quarter, higher than the third quarter of 2010 due to
short-term higher production costs at Palmarejo, San Bartolomé and
Rochester, which are expected to improve in the fourth quarter. In
general, the Company has seen cost increases in power, diesel,
other inputs and labor during the quarter.
Palmarejo, Mexico – Generating Strong Cash Flow
- Third quarter silver production
increased 49% to 2.3 million ounces compared to the third quarter
of 2010 and was slightly lower than the prior quarter. Third
quarter gold production totaled 29,815 ounces, which was equivalent
to gold production during last year’s third quarter and 11% lower
than the prior quarter.
- Tons milled declined during the third
quarter due to mill maintenance and repair work that took place
during July, which slightly affected quarterly production
levels.
- Third quarter cash operating costs per
ounce were higher than the prior quarter due to increased
maintenance and operational costs in the open pit and increased
process costs in the areas of grinding and leaching.
- Palmarejo is the Company’s largest
contributor of sales and operating cash flow1, reaching $166.9
million and $91.2 million respectively, in the third quarter.
Capital expenditures were $9.5 million.
San Bartolomé, Bolivia – Another Consistent Quarter
- Silver production increased 14% over
last year’s third quarter and 18% from the prior quarter, while
cash operating costs increased 32% and 7% respectively. Increased
production was driven by 13% higher mill throughput as well as
slightly higher ore grade and recovery rate.
- Third quarter production costs
increased from last year’s third quarter due to higher project
development, open pit haulage and maintenance costs.
- San Bartolomé contributed $102.8
million in sales and $49.6 million in operating cash flow1 in the
third quarter. Capital expenditures were $4.4 million.
Kensington, Alaska – Short-Term Reduction Expected to Lead to
Long-Term Consistency
- Kensington is expected to enter a six
month period where processing levels will be reduced by 50% to
approximately 700 tons per day. This is intended to allow the mine
to implement and complete several key initiatives, including:
- Accelerated underground development,
resulting in more working faces and greater operational
flexibility
- Aggressive in-fill drilling program to
better define the high-grade ore zones and convert existing
resources into proven and probable reserves
- Completion and commissioning of the
underground paste backfill plant and related distribution system,
providing access to stopes located in previously mined areas
- Upgrading and completing construction
of several underground and surface facilities
- Improving overall safety of the
operation
- Expected operational effects of this
strategy:
- 2011 production of approximately 85,000
ounces at costs of approximately $990 per ounce
- 2012 production expected to be similar
to 2011, with costs declining in the second half of the year as
production levels increase
- Production levels in 2013 and beyond
are expected to rise to approximately 125,000 – 135,000 ounces at
substantially lower operating costs than the current levels
- The mine contributed $44.2 million in
sales and $14.5 million in operating cash flow1 in the third
quarter. Capital expenditures were $9.2 million.
K. Leon Hardy, Coeur’s Chief Operating Officer, said, “2012 is
expected to represent a transition year at Kensington as these
projects are completed and operating activities resume at increased
levels. We recognize that we need to take a step back in the ore
production profile in order to advance these initiatives that we
expect to ultimately reduce costs and ensure higher, more
consistent production levels. Kensington is an underground
operation with one primary portal, which means we will need to
curtail some ore production in order to advance installations and
other work in the mine.”
Rochester, Nevada – Resurgence in Production in the Fourth
Quarter
- Third quarter silver production was
lower by 16% from last year’s third quarter and slightly higher
than the prior quarter, while cash operating costs were
significantly higher.
- Per ounce costs were temporarily higher
during the quarter as a result of increased costs associated with
ore placement on the new leach pad while ounces produced during the
quarter consisted solely of residual production of silver and gold
from existing leach pads. The new leach pad is expected to begin
producing new silver and gold ounces during the fourth quarter of
2011, which are expected to reduce cash operating costs.
- During the third quarter and through
the end of October, the Company placed ore containing over 5,000
ounces of gold and 418,000 ounces of silver on the new leach pad.
These levels are expected to double by year end. The Company
expects an initial 50% recovery rate within 30 to 60 days from the
placement of this ore.
- The mine contributed $17.5 million in
sales and $2.7 million in operating cash flow1 in the third
quarter. Capital expenditures were $13.6 million.
Exploration Highlights
Donald J. Birak, Senior Vice President of Exploration,
commented, “Our accelerated exploration program is yielding
excellent results, particularly at Palmarejo and Rochester. Along
with the Joaquin silver project in southern Argentina, we expect
this work, continuing into 2012, to result in mine life extensions
and mineral resource additions at all of these properties. We
anticipate dramatically increasing our investment in exploration in
2012.”
During the three months ending September 30, 2011, the Company
completed over 39,600 meters (130,000 feet) of new core and reverse
circulation drilling in its global exploration program. The
majority of this drilling was devoted to the Company’s Palmarejo
property followed by Rochester, Joaquin and Kensington.
Palmarejo, Mexico
The Company completed over 21,500 meters (70,550 feet) in the
third quarter in the Palmarejo District. This exploration drilling
was split between targets around the current Palmarejo mine from
both surface and underground drill platforms, specifically the
Rosario, Tucson and Chapotillo zones, and at the Guadalupe and La
Patria deposits. This past quarter’s drilling at La Patria remained
focused on exploration drilling and definition of the northern
zone.
The Company is very encouraged by its initial drilling results
from La Patria and has commenced a program of surface trenching to
help define the continuity of the known vein structures in support
of continued drilling.
Rochester, Nevada
Drilling at Rochester nearly doubled compared to the prior
quarter. A total of 12,800 meters (42,000 feet) of reverse
circulation drilling were completed at the Nevada Packard and
Rochester silver and gold deposits. Drilling at Nevada Packard,
situated approximately 2.3 kilometers (1.4 miles) south of the
current Rochester mine, focused on expanding the deposit to the
west. At Rochester, drilling was focused on the Northwest Rochester
zone at the north side of the mine.
Both deposits remain open for expansion. Drilling is expected to
continue at Rochester into the fourth quarter and into 2012.
Martha and Joaquin, Argentina
Over 3,600 meters (12,200 feet) of core drilling was completed
on all targets in the Santa Cruz Province of southern Argentina in
the third quarter of 2011. At Joaquin, drilling recommenced late in
the quarter at the La Negra zone. The Company plans to continue to
drill to define the mineral resources at Joaquin and advance the
project towards completion of a feasibility study, which would
increase the Company’s managing interest in the Joaquin project
from 51% to 61%. Subject to certain conditions the Company has an
option to increase its interest to 71%. The Joaquin project is
located approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of the Martha
mine by road. Other targets drilled in the quarter were Betty and
Wendy at Martha and Satélite, an early-stage prospect in eastern
Santa Cruz.
Kensington, Alaska
Exploration at Kensington in the quarter consisted of just over
1,000 meters (3,300 feet) of core drilling nearly all of which was
devoted to the Raven zone, which is located approximately 685
meters (2,250 feet) due west of the Kensington ore body. This
drilling and ongoing drilling is expected to define a new mineral
resource estimate on this zone. Raven is one of several
gold-bearing vein structures occurring within a 300- to 450-meter
wide (1,000 to 1,500 feet) corridor, extending over 3,000 meters
(9,800 feet) southward to the Jualin deposit, which is located near
the mill facility. Drilling commenced late in the quarter on a new
target, Kensington South.
San Bartolomé, Bolivia
The ongoing program of trenching and sampling continued into the
third quarter of 2011 at San Bartolomé. A total of 51 new backhoe
trenches were completed and sampled, resulting in 339 new samples
collected from one-meter vertical intervals. All of this work was
centered on the Santa Rita and Diablo areas. Through the first nine
months of 2011, 1,010 new samples have been collected from 164
trenches intended to expand and upgrade mineral resources.

primary silver producer and a growing gold producer. The Company
has several core silver and gold mines generating higher
production, sales and cash flow in continued strong precious metals
markets. This growth is derived from wholly-owned mines that were
constructed and began producing between 2008 and 2010: the San
Bartolomé silver mine in Bolivia; the Palmarejo silver-gold mine in
Mexico, and the Kensington gold mine in Alaska. In addition, the
Company is expecting additional production from its long-time
Rochester silver-gold mine in Nevada, and also owns and operates
the Martha silver-gold mine in Argentina. The Company also owns a
non-operating interest in a silver-base metal mine in Australia,
and conducts ongoing exploration activities near and within its
operating properties in Argentina, Mexico, Nevada and Alaska.

Rochester mine has commenced to place ore on the new leach pad and
production is expected in the fourth quarter of 2011. The leach
cycle at Rochester requires five to ten years to recover gold and
silver contained in the ore. The Company estimates the ultimate
recovery to be approximately 61% for silver and 92% for gold.
However, ultimate recoveries will not be known until leaching
operations cease, which is currently estimated for 2014 for the
current leach pad. Current recovery may vary significantly from
ultimate recovery. See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates –
Ore on Leach Pad in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010. (B) Kensington achieved commercial production on
July 3, 2010. (C) Current production ounces and recoveries reflect
final metal settlements of previously reported production ounces.
(D) Amount includes by-product gold credits deducted in computing
cash costs per ounce. (E) Amounts reflect Kensington per ounce
statistics only. (F) 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 or silver ounces
produced by that property during that same period. Management uses
cash operating costs per ounce 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
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 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.
