Coeur Reports Strong Second Quarter Financial and Operating Results;

Provides Positive Update to 2012 Guidance

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho - August 7, 2012 - Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM) produced 4.9 million ounces of silver and 63,047 ounces of gold during the second quarter, which resulted in $254.4 million in sales, $88.4 million in operating cash flow,¹ and a $47.1 million increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to $200.3 million.

The Company expects to achieve the high-end of its 2012 silver and gold production guidance of 18.5 - 20.0 million silver ounces and 210,000 - 230,000 gold ounces. The Company also expects to achieve the low-end of its 2012 guidance for cash operating costs¹ per silver ounce of $6.50 - $7.50.

Second Quarter Highlights

 

 

 

•

Silver production totaled 4.9 million ounces, equal to first quarter 2012 levels.

 

•

Gold production totaled 63,047 ounces, up 44% from the first quarter.

 

•

Net metal sales totaled $254.4 million, up 24% from the first quarter.

 

•

Operating cash flow1 totaled $88.4 million, down 6% from the first quarter. Including changes in working capital, net cash from operating activities totaled $113.2 million compared to $17.0 million in the first quarter.

 

•

Consolidated cash operating costs1 totaled $6.41 per silver ounce, up slightly from the first quarter.

 

•

Cash operating costs1 per gold ounce declined 50% from the first quarter to $1,348 and are expected to reach $900 by year-end.

 

•

Adjusted earnings1 totaled $28.0 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to $41.5 million, or $0.46 per share, in the first quarter. Net income totaled $23.0 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to $4.0 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter.

 

•

Announced a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock and finalized a $100 million, four-year revolving credit facility.

 

•

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $200.3 million as of June 30, 2012, $47.1 million higher than March 31, 2012.

“The Company is performing according to plan, which is leading to strong financial performance,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Board of Directors’ authorization in June to repurchase up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock reflects our confidence in the Company’s underlying cash flow and the long-term value the Company represents for shareholders,” he said.

“Our Kensington gold mine in Alaska nearly tripled its production and cut its operating costs per ounce in half during the second quarter with the mine’s return to full production, which represent key milestones for this important operation. We also saw higher silver and gold production levels and substantially lower costs at our Rochester mine in Nevada as a result of an expansion that took place in 2011. Our Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico and our San Bartolomé silver mine in Bolivia both delivered consistent results during the second quarter. Despite industry-wide cost pressures, the Company delivered flat cash operating costs¹ per ounce during the second quarter, due mostly to efficiency improvements achieved at its key operations,” Krebs said.

Net metal sales for the second quarter totaled $254.4 million, higher than both the second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. This increase is due primarily to increased silver ounces sold year-over-year and higher gold production at Kensington and Rochester. Average realized prices per ounce of silver and gold were $29.28 and $1,610, respectively, in the second quarter, which were 25% lower and 7% higher, respectively, than the second quarter of 2011. Silver contributed 63.2% of the Company’s total metal sales in the second quarter compared to 68.7% a year ago.

Prior to changes in working capital, Coeur generated $88.4 million in operating cash flow¹ in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $115.8 million a year ago. After working capital changes, the Company generated net cash from operating activities of $113.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $111.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Consolidated cash operating costs¹ totaled $6.35 per silver ounce for the first half of 2012 compared to $5.69 per silver ounce for the first half of 2011. These higher unit cash operating costs¹ are due primarily increased costs of consumables at San Bartolomé in 2012, higher maintenance costs at Palmarejo, and higher costs at Rochester in 2012 due to the resumption of active mining late in 2011.

Coeur reports a non-U.S. GAAP metric of adjusted earnings¹ as a measure of operating income, which excludes non-cash fair value adjustments, other non-cash adjustments, deferred taxes and discontinued operations. Second quarter 2012 adjusted earnings1 were $28.0 million, or $0.31 per share. On a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company realized net income of $23.0 million, or $0.26 per share, in the second quarter compared with net income of $38.6 million, or $0.43 per share, in the second quarter of 2011. The earnings reflect non-cash fair value adjustments that increased net income by $16.0 million and decreased net income by $12.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These fair value adjustments are driven primarily by changing gold prices which impact the estimated future liabilities related to the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation.

On June 7, 2012, Coeur announced a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock. Since the end of the quarter, the Company has finalized a $100 million, four-year revolving credit facility and has provided notice to repay from existing cash the remaining outstanding $68.0 million balance of the Kensington term loan facility.

Palmarejo, Mexico - Strong Cash Flow

 

•

Second quarter production totaled 2.4 million ounces of silver and 31,258 ounces of gold, which was consistent with first quarter of 2012 and second quarter 2011 production.

 

•

Cash operating costs1 per silver ounce in the second quarter were $(0.85) compared to ($2.27) in the first quarter. Higher costs in the second quarter compared to first quarter 2012 and second quarter 2011 were primarily due to higher maintenance costs and to downtime related to a temporary work stoppage at the mine in May.

 

•

Sales and operating cash flow1 totaled $136.4 million and $63.6 million, respectively, in the second quarter. Capital expenditures were $11.2 million.

San Bartolomé, Bolivia - Consistent Performance

 

•

Silver production totaled 1.5 million ounces in the second quarter; consistent with first quarter production.

 

•

Cash operating costs1 per silver ounce were $11.05 compared to $10.21 in the first quarter. Lower ore grade impacted cash operating costs1 per ounce.

 

•

Rochester, Nevada - Rising Production Levels and Lower Costs

 

•

Second quarter silver production increased over the first quarter by 62% to 712,706 ounces and gold production increased 91% to 10,120 ounces.

 

•

Cash operating costs1 in the second quarter declined 58% to $9.83 per silver ounce compared to the first quarter.

 

•

Sales and operating cash flow1 totaled $34.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively, in the second quarter. Capital expenditures were $2.9 million.

The Martha mine in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina has continued to experience high operating costs and low production due to a short remaining expected mine life after ten years of production since 2002. The Company expects to cease active mining operations by September 30, 2012, and to commence reclamation activities after mining operations have concluded. Employees affected by the cessation of mining operations are expected to be placed with other mining companies in the region. As previously disclosed, the Company is evaluating strategic and operational alternatives for the Martha mine. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.8 million in the second quarter.

Exploration Highlights

During the second quarter, the Company completed 60,292 meters (197,808 feet) of drilling and trenching in its exploration programs at Palmarejo, Rochester, projects in Argentina, Kensington, San Bartolomé, and the Carrizalillo prospect in Chile. Up to 17 drills were employed by the Company during the second quarter. Coeur’s exploration teams received three awards from the International Society of Mine Safety Professionals in recognition of their commitment to safety.

Donald J. Birak, Senior Vice President of Exploration for Coeur, commented, “On the exploration front, we are enthusiastic about the results from drilling at Palmarejo. The Guadalupe deposit, which is expected to be in production next year, continues to expand and remains open at depth and to the northwest. A new target called La Blanca Norte was defined during the second quarter near the existing Palmarejo operation and it is planned to be aggressively drilled during the remainder of 2012. In addition, we are pleased to announce completion of an upgraded mineral resource estimate for the Joaquin silver-gold project in southern Argentina. We are especially pleased with the safety awards received by our teams in Mexico, Argentina and Chile,” Birak said.

Palmarejo

The Company completed 32,321 meters (106,040 feet) of exploration core drilling in the Palmarejo district. This drilling was divided between targets around the current Palmarejo mine and at the Guadalupe area located approximately six kilometers from the Palmarejo mine. Mineralization at Guadalupe has now been defined over a length of more than 2.5 kilometers (+8,200 feet) from southeast to northwest and remains open to the northwest and at depth. Since the last mineral resource and reserve estimate for Guadalupe was prepared, 100 new core holes have been completed and will be used to prepare a new model of mineral resources and reserves at year-end. Surface drilling commenced on the new La Blanca Norte zone situated immediately northwest of the Palmarejo mill complex. A helicopter-borne geophysical (magnetics) survey was completed over the Company’s entire land holding, which is helping to identify new drill targets.

Kensington

Exploration at Kensington consisted of 4,534 meters (14,875 feet) of core drilling. Nearly all of the drilling was devoted to infill drilling of the Raven zone, which is located approximately 670 meters (2,200 feet) due west of the Kensington ore body. In addition, drilling recommenced on the new Kensington South target where drilling encountered veining and alteration similar to that of the main Kensington mine with encouraging gold grades. A helicopter-borne geophysical (magnetics) survey was conducted to help identify future drill targets.

In addition, the Company completed 3,976 meters (13,045 feet) of definition core drilling at Zone 10, which is expected to constitute a major part of the mine plan for the next three years. Assay results from 85 new holes from independent laboratories showed multiple gold-mineralized intervals, ranging from one foot to 34-feet true widths and gold grades from a cutoff grade of 0.1 to over 6.0 ounces per ton. The Company plans to use this data to update the mineral resources and reserves of Zone 10.

Rochester

Drilling at Rochester totaled 14,548 meters (47,730 feet) in 252 holes on the property. Over 80% of this drilling focused on existing Rochester stockpile inventory with the remainder at Northwest Rochester.

San Bartolomé

One hundred new backhoe trenches were completed and sampled at San Bartolomé. In the third quarter, trenching and sampling are planned to shift to new targets due west of the current mining area.

Carrizalillo

An initial program of 3 core holes, totaling 1,328 meters (4,357 feet), was completed at this prospect in north-central Chile. Three prominent zones of hydrothermal alteration with anomalous precious metals detected from past sampling were tested. Results are pending.

Joaquin

A total of 3,450 meters (11,319 feet) of drilling was completed at the Joaquin joint venture property, located approximately 70 kilometers (43 miles) north of the Company’s Martha mine, to complete infill drilling at the La Negra and La Morocha deposits and test new targets on the property. Data from this drilling, and drilling completed in the second half of 2011, were used to update the 2011 resource estimates at La Negra and La Morocha.

As a result, the August 2012 mineral estimate for Joaquin (shown in table 4 below) reflects a 102% increase in contained silver ounces and an 18% increase in contained gold ounces in measured and indicated resources compared to the May 2011 mineral estimate. The estimated silver and gold ounces contained in inferred resources were reduced from May 2011 levels as material was upgraded from the inferred category to measured and indicated categories. The August 2012 resource estimate used metal prices of $30 per silver ounce and $1,500 per gold ounce compared with $20 per silver ounce and $1,300 per gold ounce in May 2011.

The new mineral resource estimate incorporates results from 123 new core drill holes (16,707 meters) designed to upgrade inferred mineral resources in the May 2011 estimate to measured and indicated levels. In addition to the new drilling, results from 43 drill holes (6,231 meters) were received after the model was completed and are expected to be incorporated into the next update in early 2013.

About Coeur

Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation is the largest U.S.-based primary silver producer and a growing gold producer. The Company built and commenced production from three wholly-owned, long-lived mines between 2008 and 2010: the San Bartolomé silver mine in Bolivia, the Palmarejo silver-gold mine in Mexico and the Kensington gold mine in Alaska. Further production has commenced from a new heap leach pad at Coeur’s long-time Rochester silver-gold mine in Nevada. The Company also owns and operates the Martha silver-gold mine in Argentina and owns a non-operating interest in a silver-base metal mine in Australia. Coeur conducts ongoing exploration activities near and within its operating properties in Argentina, Mexico, Alaska, Nevada and Bolivia. In addition, Coeur owns strategic minority shareholdings in seven silver and gold development companies in North and South America.

(A)

The Rochester mine recommenced production in the fourth quarter of 2011. The leach cycle at Rochester requires five to ten years to recover gold and silver contained in the ore. The Company estimates the ultimate recovery to be approximately 61% for silver and 92% for gold. However, ultimate recoveries will not be known until leaching operations cease, which is currently estimated for 2017. Current recovery may vary significantly from ultimate recovery. See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Ore on Leach Pad in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(B)	Current production ounces and recoveries reflect final metal settlements of previously reported production ounces.

(C)	Amount includes by-product gold credits deducted in computing cash costs per ounce.

(D)	Amounts reflect Kensington per ounce statistics only.

(E)	Units sold at realized metal prices will not match reported metal sales due primarily to the effects on revenues of mark-to-market adjustments on embedded derivatives in the Company’s provisionally priced sales contracts.
