Coeur Reports Third Quarter Financial and Operating Results

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - November 6, 2012 - Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM) produced 4.4 million ounces of silver and 58,768 ounces of gold during the third quarter, which resulted in $230.6 million in sales and $77.3 million of operating cash flow1. The Company repurchased $10.0 million of its common shares during the quarter and repaid $72.0 million of outstanding debt, resulting in total remaining debt of $47.4 million2 and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $143.6 million as of September 30, 2012.
Third Quarter Highlights
Silver production totaled 4.4 million ounces, 10% lower than second quarter 2012 levels.
Gold production totaled 58,768 ounces, down 7% from the second quarter.
Net metal sales totaled $230.6 million, down 9% from the second quarter.
Operating cash flow1 totaled $77.3 million, down 13% from the second quarter. Including changes in working capital, net cash from operating activities was $79.7 million compared to $113.2 million in the second quarter.
Consolidated cash operating costs1 were $9.05 per silver ounce compared to $6.41 per silver ounce in the second quarter.
Kensington's cash operating costs1 per gold ounce declined 4% from the second quarter to $1,298. These costs are expected to decline to under $950 per ounce in 2013.
Adjusted earnings1 were $25.8 million, or $0.29 per share, compared with $28.0 million, or $0.31 per share, in the second quarter 2012. Net loss for the quarter, which included a non-cash fair market value adjustment of $37.6 million, was $15.8 million, or $0.18 per share, compared with net income of $23.0 million, or $0.26 per share, in the second quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $143.6 million as of September 30, 2012.
Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Company's third quarter was negatively impacted by lower production and higher unit costs at the Palmarejo mine in Mexico, which were due to unfavorable underground conditions encountered during September and a transition in open pit production. Open pit production has been accelerated to partially offset the impact, which has led to higher unit costs and lower overall grades."
Mr. Krebs added, "Our Rochester silver and gold mine in Nevada and our Kensington gold mine in Alaska continued to accelerate production rates during the quarter. Despite experiencing power outages that resulted in unanticipated mill downtime during August, our San Bartolomé silver mine in Bolivia delivered consistent operational results."
The Company expects 2012 full-year production to total 18.5 - 19.0 million silver ounces and 215,000 - 225,000 gold ounces. Cash operating costs1 are expected to be approximately $7.50 per silver ounce. The Company expects cash operating costs1 per ounce of gold at Kensington to average approximately $1,350 for the full year 2012.
"As we look ahead to 2013, we expect silver and gold production to be consistent with 2011 and 2012 levels," Mr. Krebs commented.

Lower net metal sales in the third quarter resulted primarily from lower production rates at Palmarejo, lower average realized silver and gold prices, and fewer ounces of silver and gold sold compared to the third quarter 2011. Silver contributed 59% of the Company's total metal sales during the third quarter 2012 compared to 68% during the third quarter 2011.
Consolidated production costs of $125.0 million were primarily due to lower production levels during the quarter. Consolidated cash operating costs1 were $9.05 per silver ounce compared to $7.57 per silver ounce in the third quarter 2011. Increased cash operating costs1 per silver ounce reflect higher mining costs associated with additional underground support measures, higher maintenance costs, and waste haulage costs in the open pit at Palmarejo and lower mill production rates at San Bartolomé during the quarter due to power interruptions. As previously announced, the Company ceased operating activities and commenced reclamation at the Martha underground silver mine in Argentina in September 2012.
Prior to changes in working capital, Coeur generated $77.3 million in operating cash flow1 in the third quarter 2012 compared to $88.4 million in the second quarter 2012 and $151.0 million in the third quarter 2011. After working capital changes, the Company generated $79.7 million in cash from operating activities in the third quarter 2012 compared to $113.2 million in the second quarter 2012 and $181.9 million during the third quarter 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. Third quarter 2012 adjusted earnings1 were $25.8 million, or $0.29 per share, compared with $28.0 million, or $0.31 per share, in the second quarter 2012 and $93.8 million, or $1.05 per share, in the third quarter 2011. On a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company realized a net loss of $15.8 million, or $0.18 per share, compared with net income of $23.0 million, or $0.26 per share, in the second quarter and net income of $31.1 million, or $0.35 per share, in the third quarter 2011. Reduced metal sales and negative fair value adjustments of $37.6 million impacted third quarter net income. In the third quarter 2011, fair value adjustments were negative $53.4 million. Fair value adjustments are driven primarily by lower or higher gold prices, which decrease or increase, respectively, the estimated future liabilities related to a gold royalty obligation at Palmarejo.

Capital expenditures totaled $30.0 million during the third quarter 2012 compared to $32.2 million in the second quarter and $38.1 million in the third quarter 2011. Capital expenditures in the third quarter were primarily related to capitalized exploration drilling and development of the Guadalupe satellite operation located six kilometers from the main Palmarejo operation, underground development at Palmarejo, completion of a dry stack tailings facility at San Bartolomé and an expansion of the tailings facility at Kensington.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $143.6 million after full payment of the Kensington term facility balance of $72.0 million and repurchasing $10.0 million of Company stock in the third quarter. Shares outstanding at quarter-end totaled 89.4 million.

Palmarejo, Mexico - Reduced Underground Mining Rate Impacts Production
Third quarter production at Palmarejo was 1.8 million ounces of silver and 23,702 ounces of gold, down 23% and 24%, respectively, compared to the second quarter.
Reduced production rates were due to unfavorable underground conditions in a high-grade area of the underground mine, which required additional ground support and resulted in slower advances. The mine also experienced lower ore grade from a transition of mining to the next push back in the open pit operation.
Lower grade ore from surface operations, a 32% increase in tons milled from third quarter 2011 and a record silver recovery rate of 90.0% partially offset the decreased underground production rates.
Higher cash operating costs1 of $3.75 per silver ounce in the third quarter were primarily due to lower production and temporarily higher mining costs for additional ground support, maintenance, and waste haulage in the open pit.
Sales and operating cash flow1 totaled $102.6 million and $54.9 million, respectively, in the third quarter. Capital expenditures were $11.3 million.

San Bartolomé, Bolivia - Consistent Production
Silver production was 1.5 million ounces in the third quarter, consistent with second quarter production.
Cash operating costs1 were $12.13 per silver ounce compared to $11.05 per silver ounce in the prior quarter, primarily due to lower mill production rates from unplanned mill downtime from power interruptions in August.
Optimization of the process circuit has led to a higher recovery rate of 90% year-to-date.
Sales and operating cash flow1 totaled $46.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively, in the third quarter. Capital expenditures were $4.4 million.
Rochester, Nevada - Strong Third Quarter Gearing for Best Quarter to Come
Production increased to 819,349 ounces of silver and 10,599 ounces of gold in the third quarter, 15% and 5% higher than the second quarter, respectively.
Cash operating costs1 of $9.58 per silver ounce in the third quarter were slightly lower than the second quarter.
Metal sales totaled $36.2 million in the third quarter. Third quarter operating cash flow1 totaled $13.0 million. Capital expenditures were $4.8 million.
Kensington, Alaska - Production Continues to Rise
Third quarter production at Kensington was 24,391 ounces of gold, a 13% increase over the second quarter.
Continuous improvements at the mill resulted in a 95.9% recovery rate compared to 94.2% in the second quarter 2012.
Cash operating costs1 per gold ounce declined 4% from the second quarter to $1,298 in the third quarter. Cash operating costs1 are expected to decline to less than $950 per gold ounce in 2013 as a result of higher production rates, reduced contractor-related costs and lower rental equipment expenses.
Sales totaled $36.5 million and operating cash flow1 totaled $7.3 million in the third quarter. Capital expenditures were $9.0 million.

Exploration Highlights
During the third quarter, the Company invested $7.0 million in expensed exploration and $1.6 million in capitalized exploration, completing 147,023 feet (44,813 meters) of drilling and trenching in its global exploration program.
Palmarejo
The Company invested $3.7 million in exploration at Palmarejo and completed 75,814 feet (23,108 meters) of core drilling in the third quarter. Encouraging results were obtained from underground drilling at Rosario and the Inter-Clavos zone (a new target between the Rosario and 76 zones). Results range from narrow, high-grade intervals such as 0.5 meter true width grading 2,600 grams per tonne silver and 30.5 grams per tonne gold, to much wider intervals such as 15.5 meters true width grading 74.6 grams per tonne silver and 1.2 grams per tonne gold.  Favorable in-fill drilling results were received from Guadalupe Norte, notably 15.0 meters true width of 304 grams per tonne silver and 2.76 grams per tonne gold.  Drilling also commenced at La Union, a new target located southeast of the Chapotillo surface mine, where wide zones of alteration and veining occur near surface in association with the projection of the main ore-bearing structure in Chapotillo.
San Bartolomé
Trenching recommenced late in the quarter on a new target, Pucka Loma, which is about 150 feet (500 meters) west of the Company's existing reserves and covers an area approximately 100 feet, east-west (350 meters) by 275 feet (900 meters) north-south. Assay results from these trench samples yielded silver values averaging 113 grams per tonne (3.3 ounces per ton) over an average of 13.1 feet (4 meters) deep. Thirty-seven shallow trenches were excavated and sampled. Sampling will continue during the fourth quarter 2012.
Rochester
A total of 33,056 feet (10,075 meters) of drilling in 132 reverse circulation holes and 11 sonic twin holes were completed
in the third quarter at various historic stockpiles. Favorable silver and gold grade intercepts in drill assays, including
assays at higher than the current average reserve grade, allowed mining and placement of 350,000 tons of stockpile

material on the Rochester leach pads in September 2012. These positive results will also be used to update the estimate of mineral resources and reserves at year-end 2012.
Kensington
Drilling at Kensington focused on new targets around the main mine.  Encouraging results were obtained from Kensington South and Elmira.  Hole KX12-003 at Kensington South cut 10 feet of mineralization grading 1.72 ounces per ton. This drill intercept is situated about 750 feet south of the current Kensington mine and over 500 feet deeper on the south-striking mine trend.
2012 Outlook
The Company has updated its full-year production guidance to 18.5 - 19.0 million ounces of silver and 215,000 - 225,000 ounces of gold.
Cash operating costs1 per silver ounce for 2012 are expected to be approximately $7.50. Cash operating costs1 per gold ounce at Kensington are expected to be approximately $1,350 for 2012, declining to less than $950 per ounce in 2013.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors-The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and

         6                    



legally extract or produce. We may use certain terms in public disclosures, such as "measured," "indicated," "inferred” and “resources," that are recognized by Canadian regulations, but that SEC guidelines generally prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K which may be secured from us, or from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including cash operating costs, operating cash flow, adjusted earnings, and EBITDA. We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful information to assist management, investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe cash operating costs, operating cash flow, adjusted earnings and EBITDA are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance.

(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.
