Second quarter production and sales highlights for each of Coeur's operations are provided below.

• Average mining rates at Guadalupe remained flat at 2,600 tons per day during the second quarter compared to the first quarter, while average mining rates at Independencia decreased from 1,225 tons per day to 1,090 tons per day during the second quarter due to additional ground support measures that were required during April and May
• Silver production of 1.5 million ounces was 11% higher and gold production of 24,292 ounces rose 30% year-over-year; quarter-over-quarter, silver production declined 5%, while gold production decreased 21% as a result of lower mining rates and a slightly lower average gold grade
• Silver and gold sales of 1.5 million ounces and 25,191 ounces, respectively, were in-line with second quarter production levels but lower than first quarter sales, which benefited from a reduction in inventory carried over from the fourth quarter of 2016
• Gold sales included 9,683 ounces sold to Franco-Nevada at a price of $800 per ounce. For the full year, the Company expects 40% - 45% of Palmarejo's gold sales to be to Franco-Nevada
• Production is expected to increase in the second half of the year as mining rates from Independencia accelerate to approximately 1,500 tons per day
• The Company is maintaining Palmarejo's full-year production guidance of 6.5 - 7.0 million silver ounces and 110,000 - 120,000 gold ounces

• Tons placed increased nearly 30% quarter-over-quarter as crushing rates recovered from record rainfall during the first quarter
• Silver and gold production increased 3% and 4%, respectively, quarter-over-quarter to 1.2 million ounces and 10,745 ounces; year-over-year, silver and gold production decreased 3% and 23%, respectively
• Silver and gold sales of 1.1 million ounces and 10,658 ounces, respectively, were consistent with second quarter production levels
• Production is expected to increase in the second half of the year following the anticipated commissioning of the Stage IV leach pad expansion
• The Company is maintaining Rochester's full-year production guidance of 4.2 - 4.7 million silver ounces and 47,000 - 52,000 gold ounces

• Gold production of 26,424 ounces was relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter and 18% lower year-over-year primarily due to lower grades driven by mine sequencing. As previously noted, higher grades and production are expected in the second half of the year
• Gold sales decreased 10% quarter-over-quarter to 29,031 ounces, primarily due to elevated sales in the first quarter resulting from a reduction in inventory carried over from the fourth quarter of 2016
• Development of Jualin remains on track with initial production expected later this year
• The Company is maintaining Kensington's full-year production guidance of 120,000 - 125,000 gold ounces

• Gold production increased slightly to 21,358 ounces during the second quarter as a result of timing of recoveries. Year-over-year, gold production decreased 23% due to lower production from the higher-grade Golden Reward deposit, the remainder of which is expected to be mined in the third quarter
• Gold sales of 21,314 ounces were in-line with second quarter production levels
• The Company is raising Wharf's full-year production guidance from 85,000 - 90,000 gold ounces to 90,000 - 95,000 gold ounces due to higher than budgeted mining and crushing rates

• Second quarter production increased 6% to 1.3 million silver ounces, primarily due to process enhancements that resulted in higher recovery rates; year-over-year, production declined 12% as a result of lower third-party ore purchases and the continued effects of drought conditions
• Timing of sales drove a 22% quarter-over-quarter increase in silver sales to 1.4 million ounces
• Due to the ongoing impact of persistent drought conditions, the Company is reducing San Bartolomé's full-year production guidance to 5.0 - 5.4 million ounces of silver from 5.4 - 5.9 million ounces

2017 Production Guidance

Coeur's 2017 production guidance has been revised to reflect:

• Higher expected gold production at Wharf due to higher mining and crushing rates
• Lower expected silver production at the San Bartolomé mine due to persistent drought conditions
• The pending agreement to sell the Endeavor silver stream, under which production and any associated sales began accruing to the buyer as of June 1, 2017
