NEWS RELEASE

Coeur Reports First Quarter Production Results

Chicago, Illinois - April 7, 2014 - Coeur Mining, Inc. (the "Company" or "Coeur") (NYSE:CDE) today announced preliminary first quarter production of 4.1 million ounces of silver and 58,836 ounces of gold, or 7.6 million silver equivalent ounces¹.

Quarterly Production Results¹ 

“Our first quarter operational performance represents a solid start to the year,” stated Mitchell Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In particular, we are pleased with the progress at our Rochester mine, where daily silver production rates have exceeded 13,000 ounces in early April. We anticipate higher silver and gold production levels from Rochester in each successive quarter during the remainder of 2014.

“With our four major mines operating consistently, our cost reduction initiatives gaining momentum, minimal required capital projects, and a bolstered liquidity position, we believe we are well-positioned for a successful year,” Mr. Krebs concluded.

1Q 2014 Operational Results¹ 

First quarter operational highlights for each of the Company's mines are provided below.

• Palmarejo processed approximately 6,350 tons per day during the quarter.

• Although down from the fourth quarter, underground operations are providing a higher proportion of the tons milled, which reflects a focus on transitioning Palmarejo to a higher-grade, higher-margin operation.

• An expanded Merrill Crowe plant is currently being commissioned, which, along with improved processes for blending oxide and sulfide ore, is expected to increase recovery rates during the remainder of the year.

• Rochester achieved higher crushing rates and placed a larger number of tons on the leach pad than in recent quarters. The Company expects this will lead to higher silver and gold production throughout the remainder of the year.

• The daily silver production rate averaged approximately 8,337 ounces during the first quarter, and has exceeded 13,000 ounces in early April.

• In order to maximize cash flow, Kensington's mine plan for 2014 reflects higher mining rates at gold grades more in-line with the average reserve grade of 0.163 ounces per ton.

• Mill throughput averaged nearly 1,800 tons per day during the quarter, which is a significant increase compared to prior quarters.
