Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 25, 2012 and June 26, 2012, respectively, Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Moody's Investors Service each issued a news release regarding Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (the “Company”). Each release referred to a pending $100 million secured revolving credit facility. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries expect to close a proposed four-year $100 million secured revolving credit facility concurrently with the closing of its previously announced offering, subject to market and other conditions, of $350 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not
been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and will not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
