Mitchell Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, 'Our
second quarter operating performance improved significantly compared to
this year's first quarter and last year's fourth quarter. Operating
consistency is a key priority for Coeur and I believe we're making solid
progress.


'Since late last year, Coeur has been pursuing a four-prong strategy
designed to maximize the Company's operating cash flow: (1) identifying
and implementing revenue enhancement opportunities at existing
operations such as process recovery improvements; (2) reducing
operating costs,
including third party services, overtime wages, and
usage rates of certain consumables; (3) completing existing capital
projects on-time and on-budget and targeting significantly lower
capital expenditures in 2014
; and (4) effectively managing
working capital
, including drawing down inventory levels of certain
operating supplies.


'Since May, the management team has been pursuing other initiatives in
response to lower silver and gold prices. We have eliminated 40 current
or open positions from the organization, several capital projects have
been deferred, a review of all general and administrative costs is
underway, nearly 15% of our 2013 generative exploration budget has been
reallocated to nearer-term, higher-grade targets, and our mine plans at
each operation are currently being reviewed and optimized,? Mr. Krebs
added.


'While we will continue to focus on these initiatives in order to
maximize operating cash flow, we will also seek to take advantage of the
current environment to invest in high-quality, high-return opportunities
- both internal and external - that we believe will strengthen the
Company over the long-term,? he said.
