Coeur Mining, Inc.’s (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE)

greater organizational bandwidth and better align the Company’s
leadership team with its strategy and key priorities.

“We are excited to welcome Mick to Coeur as our new Chief
Operating Officer,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Mick is an accomplished leader who can enhance
our operational planning and execution capabilities, which makes
him an excellent choice for the role. We look forward to his
leadership across our operations, including oversight of our
leading health, safety, and environmental programs and performance.
Mick will lead a strong operating and technical team as we continue
to pursue our strategy of discovering, developing and operating a
balanced portfolio of precious metals assets in North America.”
Mr. Krebs continued, “With the planned expansion at Rochester
gaining momentum, progression of the pre-feasibility study at
Silvertip and development of longer-term growth opportunities such
as the Sterling and Crown exploration properties in southern
Nevada, we have expanded the depth of our organizational capacity
by aligning these strategic priorities under Terry’s leadership.
Given Terry’s background in project development as well as his
seven years with Coeur, he is well suited to lead these important
initiatives at a pivotal time for the Company. Terry will also
continue to lead the business improvement team, focusing on
implementing new digitization and technologies that can enhance our
