Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today
reported second quarter 2018 financial results, which included
revenue of $170.0 million, net income of $2.9 million, or $0.02 per
share, and adjusted net income1 of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per
share. Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 52% year-over-year to $48.4
million while companywide all-in-sustaining costs (“AISC”)1 per
average spot equivalent ounce (“AgEqOz”)1 declined 6%
year-over-year to $14.65 during the quarter, more than offsetting
the impact of lower average realized silver and gold prices.
Cash flow from operating activities was $(1.3) million and free
cash flow1 was $(42.5) million during the quarter, which were
impacted by approximately $26 million of total investment to
support the ongoing ramp-up of operating activities at the new
high-grade Silvertip mine in British Columbia and approximately $31
million of Mexican cash income and mining tax payments that were
made early in the second quarter.
“Led by our Palmarejo operation, we delivered strong financial
and operating performance in the second quarter, which has resulted
in an increase to our companywide full-year production guidance
ranges and a reduction to our companywide full-year cost guidance
ranges,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief
Executive Officer.
“As we enter the second half of 2018, we are well-positioned to
continue delivering on our strategy of successfully discovering,
developing and operating high-quality precious metals mines in safe
jurisdictions. We anticipate Silvertip will achieve commercial
production levels in the third quarter and begin to contribute
high-margin production and cash flow. Our higher level of
investment in near-mine exploration continues to generate excellent
results with important new discoveries at Palmarejo and Kensington
and successful resource identification and expansion at Silvertip
and Rochester.
“Later this year, we expect to begin upgrading our crushing
facility at Rochester to accommodate a high-pressure grinding roll
(“HPGR”) unit in the first quarter of 2019, which is expected to
unlock significant long-term value for our stockholders by
significantly enhancing silver recoveries and by substantially
reducing operating costs. Production and cash flow from our Wharf
gold operation in South Dakota climbed sharply during the quarter
and are expected to further strengthen throughout the remainder of
the year, further reinforcing the merits of that acquisition.
Finally, we expect mining from Kensington’s high-grade Jualin
deposit to positively impact second half production and cost
levels.”
Highlights
- Higher quarterly silver and gold
production driven by strong performance at Palmarejo -
Companywide silver equivalent1 production increased 14%
year-over-year to 8.8 million ounces. The increase was driven by
Palmarejo, where silver equivalent1 production climbed 40%
year-over-year to 4.1 million ounces
- Higher production and lower costs
drove higher revenue, adjusted EBITDA1 and adjusted EBITDA
margin1 - Quarterly revenue of $170.0 million increased 14%
year-over-year. AISC per average spot AgEqOz1 of $14.65 declined 6%
compared to the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA1 increased
52% year-over-year to $48.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 for
the period improved to 28% compared to 21% during the same period
in 2017
- Operating activities ramping up at
high-grade Silvertip silver-zinc-lead operation - Processing
rates have averaged approximately 300 tonnes per day in July and
are periodically exceeding 500 tonnes per day. During the quarter,
the Company made capital expenditures of $19.0 million (including
$4.7 million of capitalized drilling) in pre-commercial development
and process facility commissioning, bringing first half capital
expenditures to $37.7 million. Commercial production is expected to
commence during the third quarter
- Ongoing success from accelerated
near-mine exploration investments - Second quarter exploration
investment totaled $16.0 million ($6.4 million expensed and $9.6
million capitalized), with over 80% allocated to near-mine targets.
Coeur’s results-based exploration efforts are generating positive
results and have led to new discoveries at Silvertip, Palmarejo,
Kensington and Rochester
- Enhancements to full-year 2018
guidance ranges - As published on July 9, 2018, full-year 2018
production guidance was increased from 36.0 - 39.4 million AgEqOz1
to 37.3 - 40.5 million AgEqOz1 due to the strong first half
performance at Palmarejo. As a result, the Company has reduced both
Palmarejo’s cost guidance and companywide AISC guidance for 2018.
Full-year capital expenditure guidance has been increased primarily
(i) to adjust for anticipated timing of Silvertip achieving
commercial production and (ii) to reflect additional underground
development investments at Palmarejo to access new ore sources. The
Company has also increased full-year exploration expense guidance
to incorporate additional planned investments in its near-mine
exploration programs during the second half of 2018

Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter was $170.0 million, 4% higher
than the first quarter on increased metal sales, which offset
slightly lower average realized silver and gold prices of $16.48
and $1,241 per ounce, respectively. Year-over-year, revenue
increased 14%, also the result of higher metal sales that offset
lower average realized prices. Silver sales contributed 31% of
revenue during the second quarter and gold sales contributed 69%.
The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 58% of
second quarter revenue, comparable to the first quarter.
Average realized gold prices during the second quarter were
impacted by the sale of 9,834 gold ounces at a price of $800 per
ounce pursuant to Palmarejo’s gold stream agreement.
Costs applicable to sales were $108.2 million for the quarter,
9% and 6% higher quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year,
respectively, as a result of higher metal sales. General and
administrative expenses were $7.7 million, 13% lower than the first
quarter due to lower professional service costs and 10% higher
year-over-year due primarily to higher employee-related
expenses.
Quarterly interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was
unchanged compared to the prior quarter. The increase compared to
the second quarter of 2017 is due to the amounts drawn on the
Company’s $200 million revolving credit facility to partially fund
the Silvertip acquisition.
Second quarter capital expenditures of $41.2 million were
relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter. The percentage
attributable to sustaining capital expenditures, driven by the
Company’s Palmarejo and Kensington underground mining operations,
increased from 46% in the first quarter to 57% in the second
quarter. Capital expenditures at Silvertip accounted for an
additional $19.0 million (including $4.7 million of capitalized
exploration), or 46% of total companywide capital expenditures.

- Second quarter silver equivalent1
production increased 7% quarter-over-quarter and 40% year-over-year
to 4.1 million ounces due to the continued benefit of
higher-than-projected grades at Independencia
- Silver and gold grades, consistent with
the first quarter and 38% higher year-over-year, offset lower
mining rates attributable to the ongoing installation of ground
support. During the second half of the year, these underground
improvements are expected to facilitate a return to steady-state
mining rates while expected lower grade stopes are mined
- Adjusted CAS of $6.64 per average spot
AgEqOz1 were 4% lower than the first quarter and 34% lower
year-over-year and continued to track below initial full-year 2018
guidance of $9.25 - $9.75
- The new on-site absorption, desorption,
and recovery ("ADR") plant began processing run-of-mine and carbon
inventory, which was stockpiled in the first quarter. Second
quarter average recovery rates normalized as this inventory was
processed. Through mid-July, the ADR plant has generated estimated
savings of over $4.1 million in reduced refinery and freight costs
and carbon purchases, recovering its upfront investment in roughly
two months
- Exploration expense declined 20%
quarter-over-quarter as focus shifted to development towards the La
Nación deposit, located between the Independencia and Guadalupe
underground mines. The Company anticipates reaching the ore body in
early 2019 with La Nación contributing approximately 400 tons per
day (“tpd”) of mill feed once production has ramped up
- Negative free cash flow1 of $8.2
million reflected the payment of $31 million in cash income and
mining taxes in early April, of which $17 million related to 2017
earnings and $14 million were payments related to year-to-date
earnings. Total cash income and mining tax payments in Mexico this
year are expected to be $40 - $45 million
- Approximately 32% of Palmarejo's gold
sales in both the second quarter and first half of 2018 (or 9,834
and 19,739 ounces, respectively) were to Franco-Nevada at a price
of $800 per ounce. The Company anticipates a similar percentage of
Palmarejo's gold sales to be to Franco-Nevada in the second half of
2018
- As published on July 9, 2018, the
Company increased Palmarejo’s full-year production guidance to 7.5
- 7.9 million ounces of silver and 115,000 - 120,000 ounces of gold
from 6.5 - 7.1 million ounces of silver and 110,000 - 115,000
ounces of gold. Cost guidance has been revised lower from CAS per
AgEqOz1 of $9.25 - $9.75 to $8.00 - $8.50 on an average spot
equivalent basis and from $10.50 - $11.00 to $9.00 - $9.50 on a
60:1 silver equivalent basis

- Total tons placed decreased
quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year due to fewer run-of-mine
tons placed
- Quarterly silver equivalent1 production
of 1.9 million ounces was slightly higher than the prior period and
the second quarter of 2017. Higher production during the second
half is expected to be driven by the ongoing ramp up of the Stage
IV leach pad and continued placement of higher grade gold ore
- Second quarter adjusted CAS per average
spot AgEqOz1 of $11.87 was level with the prior quarter, 5% lower
year-over-year and remained below the full-year 2018 guidance range
of $12.00 - $12.50
- Free cash flow1 during the second
quarter was $5.3 million, reflecting the normalization of leach pad
and metal inventory as well as significantly lower capital
expenditures of $0.3 million. This compares to capital expenditures
of $2.1 million in the prior quarter and $13.8 million during the
same period in 2017. Free cash flow1 is expected to increase
further in the second half of the year
- Rochester’s adoption of HPGR technology
remains on-schedule. The Company expects to begin crusher upgrades
later this year, including the installation of an initial HPGR
crusher unit early next year while it decommissions an existing,
smaller crusher facility later this year. Silver recoveries are
expected to improve beginning as early as the second quarter of
2019
- The Company is maintaining Rochester’s
full-year 2018 production guidance of 4.2 - 4.7 million ounces of
silver and 45,000 - 50,000 ounces of gold. The Company is also
maintaining cost guidance of CAS per AgEqOz1 of $13.25 - $13.75 on
a 60:1 silver equivalent basis and $12.00 - $12.50 on an average
spot equivalent basis

- As anticipated, quarterly gold
production improved to 22,507 ounces, 25% higher
quarter-over-quarter and 5% year-over-year, due to timing of leach
pad recoveries. While average grade is expected to remain
relatively unchanged throughout the second half of the year,
sustained higher mining and crushing rates are expected to drive
higher production levels
- Higher production compared to the prior
quarter drove a 5% reduction in adjusted CAS per AuEqOz1 of $824,
below the full-year 2018 guidance range of $850 - $900
- Wharf generated $10.3 million of free
cash flow1 during the second quarter. This was driven by higher
production and the normalization of leach pad and metal inventory.
Free cash flow1 is expected to remain strong for the remainder of
the year
- The Company is maintaining Wharf’s
full-year production and cost guidance of 85,000 - 90,000 ounces of
gold at CAS per AuEqOz1 of $850 - $900

- Second quarter gold production of
25,570 ounces was consistent quarter-over-quarter as anticipated
due to lower planned grades related to mine sequencing
- Adjusted CAS per AuOz1 of $1,195 was
18% and 26% higher quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year,
respectively, due to lower production and higher diesel,
consumables, dewatering and drilling costs. Higher grades and
production levels in the second half of 2018 are expected to result
in lower unit costs
- Total exploration investment during the
quarter was $2.7 million, unchanged quarter-over-quarter, and
included $1.4 million of expensed exploration and $1.3 million of
capitalized exploration
- Dewatering efforts at Jualin are
expected to be completed in the third quarter and facilitate ramp
up of production through year-end. As a result, production for the
remainder of 2018 is expected to be weighted towards the latter
part of the year
- Negative free cash flow1 of $7.5
million resulted from higher operating costs
- The Company is maintaining Kensington’s
full-year production and cost guidance of 115,000 - 120,000 ounces
of gold at CAS per AuOz1 of $900 - $950
Silvertip, British Columbia
- Mining activities remain focused on
underground rehabilitation and development while surface activities
are focused on the planning, construction and commissioning of
various process optimization projects and infrastructure
upgrades
- Processing rates continued to improve
during the second quarter and, in July, rates have averaged
approximately 300 tonnes per day and periodically exceeded 500
tonnes per day
- Silvertip’s initial drilling program of
over 40,000 meters (133,000 feet) was completed on-time and
under-budget. The Company plans to publish a corresponding
exploration update later this month. Drilling results are expected
to be included in a NI 43-101 Technical Report anticipated to be
filed later this year
- The Company submitted a permit
amendment application to operate at 1,000 metric tonnes per day
earlier in the quarter and anticipates receiving approval around
year-end
- The Company is maintaining full-year
2018 production guidance of 1.5 - 2.0 million ounces of silver and
23.0 - 28.0 million pounds of both zinc and lead at CAS per AgEqOz1
and average spot AgEqOz1 of $15.00 - $15.50 and $12.00 - $12.50,
respectively
Exploration
For the second consecutive quarter, Coeur sustained a higher
level of near-mine exploration investment. Up to 18 drill rigs were
active at Coeur’s operations and exploration projects during the
quarter, including seven at Palmarejo, two at Kensington and six at
Silvertip. 84% of the Company’s total quarterly exploration
investment was allocated to near-mine opportunities and
targets.
Expensed resource expansion drilling totaled $6.4 million during
the quarter and was primarily focused on identifying and expanding
resources at the Palmarejo and Kensington operations. Drilling
activity was also completed at early-stage exploration projects in
Nevada, U.S. and Sonora, Mexico.
Capitalized resource infill drilling totaled $9.6 million during
the second quarter, nearly double the amount spent in the first
quarter and three times the total spent in the second quarter of
2017. The majority of this increase was focused on opportunities at
the new Silvertip mine.
The Company invested $6.2 million in resource definition
drilling at Silvertip during the second quarter, which has
generated better-than-expected results. The Company plans to
publish an update on Silvertip’s exploration program in late July
and anticipates filing a NI 43-101 Technical Report later this year
summarizing the results. Given the success of this initial drilling
program, the Company has commenced a $4.0 million second phase of
drilling focusing on resource expansion targets.
At Rochester, infill drilling southwest of the pit in the
Sunflower area has intercepted significant mineralization within an
area previously modeled as inferred resource. Because of this
area’s proximity to the pit, anticipated higher grades and shallow
mineralization, the Company considers Sunflower to be a potentially
significant source of future production.
At Palmarejo, as many as four rigs continued targeting expansion
of the Nación and Zapata resources and definition of the
recently-discovered Madero and Rampa veins (located immediately
west of Guadalupe) and the Jacobo and Portales veins (located
immediately east of Guadalupe). Limited drilling also commenced in
the Independencia North area, targeting the Hidalgo and Reforma
veins in the footwall of the main Independencia structure. It is
anticipated the drilling will continue north targeting the new
Barrera vein structure. Up to three rigs focused on capitalized,
resource conversion drilling at Independencia and Guadalupe. Both
expansion and conversion drilling levels are expected to continue
at the current accelerated pace throughout the second half of the
year.
At Kensington, drilling successfully targeted previously-known,
high-grade structures that have the potential to become future
sources of higher-grade ore. The Seward vein outcrops on surface
approximately 1,900 feet above the Kensington Mine access ramp. Due
to the promising mineralization on surface, drilling was completed
at ramp level to test for down-dip continuity. So far, two holes
have cut the mineralized structure, providing the Company’s
exploration team with a solid “planar” target for future drilling
from surface. Drilling also tested the lower and upper portions of
the Raven structure, where results are encouraging. Deeper zones
were drilled within the Kensington Main deposit, referred to as
Blocks M and L. While results are pending, these holes have been
testing the lower limits of the deposit below sea level. A new
drill campaign began in early July at the new Elmira Zone, located
above Kensington Main. Historic drilling in the Elmira Zone
predated NI 43-101 standards and, as a consequence, infill holes
are necessary in order to be in a position to declare resources in
the zone. Along with this new zone, the nearby Johnson Vein will be
tested and potentially drilled later in the year.
2018 Production Outlook
On July 9, 2018, Coeur’s production guidance was increased to
reflect higher expected silver and gold production at Palmarejo due
to higher-than-anticipated grades during the first half of the
year.

2018 Cost Outlook
The Company’s cost guidance has been reduced to account for
strong first half cost performance at Palmarejo, timing of
anticipated commercial production at Silvertip and accelerated
investment in near-mine exploration. Unit cost guidance on a spot
equivalent basis remains based on silver-to-gold, -zinc and -lead
equivalence ratios of 75:1, 0.09:1 and 0.07:1, respectively.

Christopher Pascoe, Coeur’s Director, Technical Services and a
qualified person under Canadian National Instrument 43-101,
approved the scientific and technical information concerning
Coeur’s mineral projects in this news release. The PEA for the
re-scoped mine plan at Rochester referred to in this news release
is preliminary in nature and is based in part upon inferred mineral
resources, and does not have as high a level of certainty as a plan
based solely on proven and probable mineral reserves. Inferred
mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to
have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable
them to be considered for estimation of mineral reserves and there
is no certainty that the results from the preliminary economic
assessment will be realized. For a description of the key
assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral
reserves and resources, as well as data verification procedures and
a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be
affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title,
taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant factors,
Canadian investors should refer to the Technical Reports for each
of Coeur’s properties as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
