Coeur Reports Third Quarter Production Results and Reaffirms Full-Year Production Guidance

10.10.2013  |  Business Wire

Coeur Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Coeur”) (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM) announced it produced 4.2 million ounces of silver and 63,763 ounces of gold during the third quarter of 2013. These production levels represent a decrease of 10% for silver and an increase of 5% for gold compared to the second quarter. Production at both Palmarejo and San Bartolomé were consistent with the second quarter. Kensington's gold production increased 25% over the second quarter of 2013 due to an increase in tons milled and higher gold grades. Rochester's production during the quarter was negatively impacted by the completion of several expansion-related projects, which are expected to lead to significantly higher production levels in the fourth quarter and next year.

Mitchell Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter operating performance demonstrates further consistency at Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, and Kensington, and represents a critical turning point for Rochester. The completion of recent capital investments in the existing heap leach pads and in the operation's crushing capacity, along with the substantial increase in reserves announced last month, support the high-return, long-term growth profile we expect to achieve at Rochester. Maintaining our full-year total production guidance within the range provided at the beginning of 2013 reflects our enhanced technical and operating capabilities and our ability to better execute against our plan.”

Coeur will report its full third quarter operating and financial results on November 6, 2013 after the New York and Toronto stock exchanges close for trading. There will be a conference call on November 7, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.
