EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 

1.1
Introduction
 
Mr. Christopher Pascoe, RM SME, Ms. Rae Keim, P.Geo., and Mr. Peter Haarala, RM SME, prepared a technical report summary (the Report) for Coeur Mining, Inc. (Coeur), on the Kensington Gold Operations (the Kensington Operations or the Project), located in Alaska, USA.
 
Coeur’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Coeur Alaska, Inc. (Coeur Alaska), is the operating entity.
 

1.2
Terms of Reference
 
The Report was prepared to be attached as an exhibit to support mineral property disclosure, including mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, for the Kensington Operations in Coeur’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
 
Mineral resources are reported for Kensington, Eureka, Raven, Jualin, and Elmira Zones.  Mineral reserves are reported for Kensington, Eureka, Raven, Jualin, and Elmira Zones. Mineral reserves are also estimated for material in stockpiles.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial values are reported in United States (US) currency (US$) including all operating costs, capital costs, cash flows, taxes, revenues, expenses, and overhead distributions.  Unless otherwise indicated, the US Customary unit system is used in this Report.  Mineral resources and mineral reserves are reported using the definitions in Item 1300 of Regulation S–K (17 CFR Part 229) (SK1300) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Illustrations, where specified in SK1300, are provided in the relevant Chapters of report where that content is requested.  The Report uses US English.
 

1.3
Property Setting
 
The Kensington Operations are located within the Berners Bay Mining District, approximately 48 miles northwest of the capital city of Juneau, Alaska.
 
Access to the Kensington Operations is by aircraft (helicopter or float plane) or boat from Juneau.  The mine, mill, and camp complex at Jualin is accessed by boat from Auke Bay, Yankee Cove, or Echo Cove to the Slate Creek Cove dock facility (north side of Berners Bay), then five miles by an all-weather gravel road.  Kensington is reached via Lynn Canal to the support facilities near the 850 Portal on the eastern shore of Lynn Canal or by transit through the mine.  Access to existing mine workings (850 Level Portal) is by three miles of all-weather gravel road from Comet Beach or from the Jualin side of the property.  Heavy equipment and supplies can be brought to both sides of the Project directly from Juneau by barge.
 
The climate in the Project vicinity is maritime with a mean annual precipitation of about 85 inches at the lower mine elevations.  Annual snowfall varies from a few feet at sea level to greater than 10 feet at the 2050 Level Portal.  Mining operations are conducted year-round.  Snow removal equipment is required to keep site roads open during winter months.
 
Topographic relief ranges from moderate, near sea level, to rugged at the base of Lions Head Mountain.
 
Vegetation ranges from dense coniferous forest at sea level to dense brush and bare rock.  The tree line is between 3,000–3,500 ft in elevation, depending on slope aspect.

Technical Report Summary
   

1.4
Mineral Tenure, Surface Rights, Water Rights, Royalties and Agreements
 
Coeur Alaska controls two contiguous claims groups: the Kensington group and Jualin group.  The area covered under the Kensington group claims is 3,969 net acres, and under the Jualin group is 8,366 net acres.  Fourteen of the 23 patented lode claims in the Jualin group cover private surface estate only.  The mineral estate to these 14 patented lode claims located within the U.S. Mineral Surveys is owned by the State of Alaska, the mineral rights to which are secured by a State of Alaska upland mining lease.  Coeur Alaska also controls the properties comprising the Jualin group, under a lease agreement with Hyak Mining Company.
 
The federal unpatented lode claims are maintained by the timely annual payment of claim maintenance fees, which are $165.00 per claim, payable to the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management on or before September 1.  State of Alaska mining claims and upland mining leases are maintained with fees and filings to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water and the Juneau Recorder’s Office. These fees range from $35–$680 per claim, depending on the size and age of the claim. Annual labor in the amount of $100 or $400 per State mining claim, depending on the size of the claim, must be performed or a cash payment in-lieu of the performance of that labor must be paid to the State each year.  The patented lode claims are private land and therefore not subject to federal claim maintenance requirements.  However, as private land, they are subject to property taxes assessed by the Borough and City of Juneau, Alaska, which are due annually on or before September 30 each year.
 
The Kensington Operations hold all necessary surface and water rights to support the life-of-mine (LOM) plan.
 
Coeur Alaska has an agreement with the Hyak Mining Company (Hyak), as amended August 5, 2005, and further amended July 1, 2009, and October 24, 2013 over the Jualin group claims area (the Hyak Lease).  The current Hyak Lease period, which is the second term of the lease, commenced on August 5, 2020 and ends on August 5, 2035.  If production occurs from the leased premises, a 5% net returns royalty on production as defined by the Hyak Lease, is due, unless the amount of the net returns royalty is less than the adjusted advance minimum royalty.  If the net returns royalty is less, then the advance minimum royalty is paid instead of the net returns royalty.  The Hyak Lease will continue after 2035, provided mining and production are actively occurring within and from the leased premises.
 
Hyak entered into a working agreement, with an option to purchase, dated July 14, 1982, with Benjamin D. Fremming, Douglas L. Gregg, Thomas E. Schultz, William A. Wondriska, and Mr. and Mrs. Merrill J. Zay over certain patented lode mining claims, Federal unpatented lode and mill site claims and State of Alaska mining claims.  The Hyak Lease incorporates the Hyak working agreement, and the rights awarded under the working agreement apply to the Hyak Lease.  Coeur Alaska has an agreement with Hyak covering a State of Alaska Upland Mining Lease and separate agreements with individuals over a portion of the Falls and Diana patented lode claims within the Jualin group.
 
Rights for ancillary infrastructure at Slate Creek Cove are secured through a 25-year State of Alaska Tideland Lease, granted in 2011.  Coeur Alaska controls a 7.2-acre parcel of land, consisting of a lodge and marine moorage facilities, under a lease agreement, as amended, with Yankee Cove Development, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company.

Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
The State of Alaska granted a right-of-way permit to the Comet Beach facility on April 15, 1995; this was amended on August 15, 1995.  The permit had a 30-year term on grant, expiring 2025, and is subject to an annual payment that is due on or before April 15.
 
Coeur Alaska holds a 10-year public, non-exclusive easement and right-of-way, granted in 2016, from the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and Department of Natural Resources authorizing construction and operation of the Jualin Mine Road from Slate Creek Cove to the Jualin Mine site for purposes of limiting public access and improving access to the Kensington operations.
 
Coeur Alaska acquired 100% ownership of the Kensington Group on July 7, 1995 from Echo Bay Mines Ltd. and Echo Bay Alaska (collectively Echo Bay).  Under the acquisition agreement, Coeur Alaska is obligated to pay Echo Bay or its successors a scaled net smelter return royalty on 1 M troy ounces of gold production, after Coeur Alaska recoups the $32.5 million purchase price, plus (i) its construction and development expenditures incurred after July 7, 1995 in connection with placing the property into commercial production, and (ii) certain operating exploration and development costs thereafter.  The royalty ranges from 1% at $400/oz gold prices to a maximum of 2½% at gold prices above $475/oz.
 
A credit agreement between Coeur, certain subsidiaries of Coeur (including Coeur Alaska), and Bank of America, N.A., was entered into on September 29, 2017, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), under which a security interest in the Kensington property was granted securing a loan of up to $300M.
 

1.5
Geology and Mineralization
 
The deposits that comprise the Kensington Operations are considered to be examples of mesothermal vein-style, or orogenic-style gold deposits.
 
The Berners Bay mining district forms the northern end of the approximately 200-km-long Juneau gold belt and is situated along the western margin of the Coast Mountains. The district is underlain by Triassic mafic metavolcanic rocks of the Wrangellia Terrane. A Cretaceous stock, the Jualin diorite, intrudes the western margin of the Wrangellia Terrane. Both the Triassic metavolcanic rocks and the Jualin diorite are overlain by Cretaceous-aged metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Treadwell Formation of the Gravina Belt to the southwest.  The unconformity between the Jualin diorite and the Gravina Belt metasedimentary rocks is marked by a Cretaceous conglomerate.
 
All significant gold vein deposits are hosted in the Jualin diorite between the northwest-trending, first-order Coastal Shear Zone, a broad chlorite-bearing ductile, and syn-metamorphic shear zone that passes through tonalite of the Coast Plutonic complex approximately 1.2 miles east of the diorite, and the Gastineau Shear Zone, which is the largest of a set of ductile shear zones that pass through the Gravina belt to the southwest. A zone of second- and third-order shears, termed the Kensington Megashear zone, appears to be the most significant influence on mineralized vein systems in the district. Brittle faults and third-order shear zones host discrete extensional quartz–carbonate veins and gold mineralization.
 
Discrete vein systems are defined by one or more through-going, fault-filling quartz veins.   Discrete veins typically host the highest-grade gold mineralization, dip moderately to steeply east, and typically range between a few inches to several feet in width.  Extensional veins consist of zones of numerous veins that mostly dip steeply to moderately west, but are contained within an overall east-dipping system, and occur adjacent to, or at, terminations of fault-fill veins.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Technical Report Summary
   
Vein mineralization is characterized by gold and gold–silver telluride minerals with minor associated native gold. Most of the gold is contained in calaverite (AuTe2), which occurs in association with native gold as inclusions in and interstitial to pyrite grains and in microfractures in pyrite.
 

1.6
History and Exploration
 
Prior to Coeur’s acquisition of a 100% interest in the Project, the following companies were active in the area between 1978–1993:  Hyak, Homestake Mining Co.; Placid Oil Company (Placid Oil); Bear Creek Mining Company (Bear Creek); International Curator Resources (Curator); Granges Exploration Inc.; Kensington Joint Venture (Coeur Alaska and Echo Bay); and Placer Dome U.S. Inc. (Placer).  Work conducted included claim staking, geologic mapping and sampling, core drilling, construction of an access road, and completion of a feasibility study.
 
Coeur acquired its 100% interest in 1995.  Work completed since the acquisition includes surveying and aerial photography, airborne magnetic geophysical survey, helicopter magnetic survey feasibility studies, studies in aid of permitting, mine and facility construction, and mine operations.
 
The Project area is a target-rich environment given that it is an orogenic gold system and the volcanic feeder at the bottom of the system has not been discovered.  This means that veins likely continue deeper than is currently drilled.  Using this interpretation, it becomes necessary to test offsetting relationships whenever it appears that a vein is closed down dip.  Currently there are plans to continue resource infill and expansion drilling on all the current mining prospects.  Two prospects are waiting on the most recent drilling results and subsequent interpretation but will likely require additional testwork.
 

1.7
Drilling and Sampling
 
The drill database for the Project area contains 7,182 core drill holes (2,386,698 ft).  Drilling that supports the mineral resource estimates consists of 4,600 core holes (2,119,138 ft).
 
Drilling that is excluded from estimation support includes production stope and utility holes, drill holes that have known spatial issues due to missing survey data, and drill holes that did not reach final depth.
 
Core loggers visually collect lithological intercepts, alteration type and intensity, mineralization type and concentration, vein composition, style, density, and structural type and intensity.  Maximum and minimum intercept angles are collected for all planar features.  During core logging core recovery and rock quality designation (RQD) measurements are collected.  Core is photographed before sampling but after logging.
 
Surface collar surveys are taken using an RTK global positioning system (GPS) SPS 985 instrument.  Underground surveys are recorded using a Trimble SPS 930.  Before the widespread adoption of GPS for collar surveying, some collar shots were taken by triangulating off the AK NAD 27 SP Z21 grid topographic map.  Downhole surveys were performed with Sperry Sun-type, Fotobor, Reflex Maxibor, Reflex Gyro, Axis Champ, and most recently IDS Gyromaster tools.
 
Drilling is oriented as practicable to intersect the vein systems, given the underground development available to act as drill stations.  Typically, the drilled intercept width is longer than the true width.

Technical Report Summary
   
Channel sampling has been conducted since 2014, taking one or two 1 ft horizontal samples from rib-to-rib.  Core sample intervals are based on the distribution of vein density, vein type, mineralization, and any other geological feature needing assay definition. The geologist marks sample intervals, ranging from 1–5 ft in length.  Whole core samples are taken from production drill holes (infill and stope holes).  Half-core samples are taken from all exploration drill holes, where geologically warranted.
 
Density data determinations were collected using both water submersion (2010 drilling program) and more recent gas pycnometer (2020–present).
 
Independent primary and umpire laboratories used include Barringer, Bondar-Clegg, Cone Geochemical, ALS Chemex, American Assay Laboratories, Inspectorate America Corporation, Pinnacle Analytical Laboratories, Acme Laboratories, McClelland Laboratories and Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada, Ltd.  Laboratories used early in Project exploration and development programs were not accredited; later laboratories had ISO9001 or ISO17025 accreditations.  The non-independent Kensington mine assay laboratory was also used.
 
Sample preparation for channel and stope definition drill samples consisted of crushing to 80% passing a 12-mesh screen and pulverizing to 90% passing a 140-mesh screen.  Core samples were initially crushed to 80% passing 10 mesh (2 mm), later to 70% passing 10 mesh (2 mm), and pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh.
 
Gold analyses included 30 g fire assay with gravimetric finish or 30 g fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish.  Over-limit assays (>0.292 oz/st Au) were by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.  Over-limit assays >1 oz/st were run by metallic screening until August 2018 when this practice was discontinued.  Multi-element analyses included: four-acid digestion with inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish, 33-element suite; and four-acid digestion with ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) finish, 48-element suite, and multi-acid digest with ICP-MS/emission spectroscopy finish, 45 element suite.
 
Historically, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures consisted of routine check assays of original pulps, check assays of duplicate pulps from coarse rejects and use of geochemical blanks to determine contamination during sample preparation. Metallic-screen analysis was performed prior to August 2018 to check for coarse gold.  Current procedures include insertion of custom certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks, and duplicates (field, crush, pulp, and analytical).  Field duplicates are taken only for exploration core.  Insertion rates are as follows: insertion rates of 5% for standards, 5% for blanks, and 2.5% for duplicates.  Check assays were selected at 5–10% of sample assays received monthly and were sent to an independent ISO certified secondary analytical laboratory for analysis.  The QA/QC data are acceptable to support mineral resource estimation.
 
Data collected are stored in an acQuire Geologic Information Management System.  The system stored traditional drill hole data (collar location, orientation, downhole survey, assay, and documentation), but was also used to store mine development sampling, surface exploration sampling, and channel sampling.  Data are subject to regular backup.
 

1.8
Data Verification
 
Data verification included internal and external database audits.  Drill collar surveys and downhole surveys are viewed in plan and section and checked against development workings.  Contractor shift reports are compared to actual total drill hole footages.  Core logging data and core photos are checked for completeness.  Assay data and QA/QC data are reviewed.  Data that have not been reviewed and passed QA/QC analysis do not pass the verification process.  Once all data are complete and have been reviewed by the responsible persons, they are reviewed by a senior geologist and signed off on by the Chief Geologist or their designate and locked to further editing.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
The QP personally undertook QA/QC verification, participated in programs to verify drill data prior to mineral resource estimation, checked selected gold assay data, conducted drill hole lockdown, including checks of assay certificates, collar and downhole surveys, geology, and QA/QC reports, and signed off on 2015–present definition drill holes and the 2021 drilling.
 
The QP is of the opinion that the data verification programs for Project data adequately support the geological interpretations, the analytical and database quality, and therefore support the use of the data in mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation, and in mine planning.
 

1.9
Metallurgical Testwork
 
Independent metallurgical testwork facilities used over the Project life, where recorded, included Pittsburgh Minerals and Environmental Technology, Inc., Cannon Microprobe, SGS Vancouver, Colorado Minerals and Research Institute, Maxim Technologies, Inc., Dawson Metallurgical Laboratories, Inc., Knelson Research & Technology Center, Hazen Research, Inc., and G & T Metallurgical Services Ltd.  The Kensington Operations have an on-site analytical laboratory that assays concentrates, in-process samples, and geological samples.  The on-site metallurgical laboratory is used for testing flotation reagents, grind analysis, and characterizing the behavior of new ores.  The laboratory is not independent.
 
Gold in the Kensington deposit is present as calaverite (AuTe2), and in the form of free gold or microscopic, “invisible” gold.  The relationship of calaverite to pyrite is either as a rind, an inclusion, or a separate, discrete particle.  Particles range from 3–20 µm in size.  Prior to mill construction at Kensington, six different companies conducted extensive metallurgical testing, including comminution gravity separation, flotation (flash flotation, locked-cycle testing, and various reagent additions) and cyanidation of concentrates.  Test results were used as a guideline for plant design.  Metallurgical test results were consistent in the recommended methods of process design, extraction and recovery estimates.
 
Gold in the Jualin deposit is in the form of native gold and highly liberated gold minerals, and exhibits high gold–sulfide associations.  Tests included flotation using similar operating conditions to those in use in the Kensington plant flotation circuit, and gravity testwork.  Flotation recovery results that averaged 95.8% recovery indicated that the existing circuit could recover the Jualin material with minimal gold losses.  However, it was decided to refurbish the existing Knelson concentrator in the plant in case material from Jualin did not mirror the results obtained from the Jualin Vein #4 mineralization.
 
Recovery factors estimated are based on appropriate metallurgical test work and confirmed with production data.  Recovery factors are appropriate to the mineralization types and the selected process route.  The LOM gold recovery forecast is 95.3%.
 
Based on extensive operating experience and testwork, there are no known processing factors of deleterious elements that could have a significant effect on the economic extraction of the mineral reserve estimates.

Mineral Resource Estimation
 

1.10.1
Estimation Methodology
 
All deposits were subject to exploratory data analysis, which could include histograms, cumulative probability plots, box and whisker plots, and contact analysis.
 
The Kensington resource model currently contains a total of 36 estimation domains that were based on combination of lithology and mineralization.  The Eureka resource model has two estimation domains.  The Raven resource model has five estimation domains.  The Jualin resource model has four estimation domains.  The Elmira resource model has three estimation domains.  Each estimation domain is based on lithology and mineralization.
 
The estimation domains that inform the Elmira, Raven, and Jualin resource estimates are generated by selecting quartz vein intercepts regardless of the grade.  Each lithological intercept is visually checked by reviewing photos of the drill core.  Boundaries of each domain are snapped as close to the lithological breaks as possible.  Each domain and the diorite host rock have a respective density factor.  If the block is outside of a mineral estimation domain, the block is given the density determined for the diorite host rock.  If inside the domain, it is given the determined density for that estimation domain.
 
Grade caps were determined by a study of the exploratory data analysis, general statistics, histograms, log normal probability plots, and reconciliation data.  Depending on the domain, caps could range from 0.3–6 oz/st.  For the Kensington and Eureka resource models, drill data were composited at 5 ft down-the-hole intervals by estimation domain using the run-length method.  When compositing for Elmira, Raven, and Jualin, full vein width composites were created using the run-length method to accurately represent the full vein grade.
 
For the Kensington deposit, variograms were calculated for separate groupings of domains or zones because individual domains had insufficient number of samples to construct a valid variogram model.  The resulting variogram for each zone was applied during estimation for all domains within each zone.  Downhole variograms for the narrow vein deposits at Elmira, Jualin, and Raven were not possible due to the use of single, vein-width composites.
 
The Kensington model was sub-blocked.  Gold grades were estimated into parent blocks using ordinary kriging (OK).  Blocks within each domain were estimated using only composites from within that domain. Eureka was estimated using inverse distance weighting to the second power (ID2).  Elmira, Jualin, and Raven, being narrow vein deposits using single vein-width composites, required a seam model (2D) to better represent each of the estimation domains.  These deposits were estimated using ID2.
 
The block models were validated using some or all of the following methods:  visually by stepping through sections and comparing the raw drill data and composite data with the block values; comparison of model statistics to drill data; swath plots; and mill to model reconciliation.
 
For all deposits other than the #4 Vein at Jualin, the classification of blocks as measured, indicated and inferred was based on drill hole spacing, and set numbers of informing drill holes and samples.  All of the #4 Vein was classified as indicated because of the consistent geology of the discrete vein and the available production and reconciliation data.
 
For each resource estimate, an initial assessment was completed that assessed likely infrastructure, mining, and process plant requirements; mining methods; process recoveries and throughputs; environmental, permitting, and social considerations relating to the proposed mining and processing methods; proposed waste disposal; and technical and economic considerations in support of an assessment of reasonable prospects of economic extraction.  Mineral resources are confined within conceptual underground mineable shapes.  The estimate assumed that the preferred mining method will be longhole stoping, and that the minimum mining width was 5 ft.

Technical Report Summary
   
The gold price used in resource estimation is based on long-term analyst and bank forecasts, supplemented with research by Coeur’s internal specialists.  The estimated timeframe used is the three-year LOM that supports the mineral reserve estimates. The forecast is US$1,700/oz for the mineral resource estimate.  The QP considers this price to be reasonable.
 
The mineral resources are reported using variable gold cut-off grades that range from 0.120–0.175 oz/st Au.
 

1.10.2
Mineral Resource Statement
 
Mineral resources are reported using the mineral resource definitions set out in SK1300 and are reported exclusive of those mineral resources converted to mineral reserves.  The reference point for the estimate is in situ.  All models were depleted through 2021, planned mining shapes were used for the month of December as depletion was run on December 7, 2021.
 
Measured and indicated mineral resources are summarized in Table 1‑1 and inferred mineral resources in Table 1‑2.
 
The Qualified Person for the estimate is Ms. Rae Keim, P.Geo., a Coeur Alaska employee.
 

1.10.3
Factors That May Affect the Mineral Resource Estimate
 
Factors that may affect the mineral resource estimates include: metal price and exchange rate assumptions; changes to the assumptions used to generate the gold cut-off grade; changes in local interpretations of mineralization geometry and continuity of mineralized zones; changes to geological and mineralization shape and geological and grade continuity assumptions; density and domain assignments; changes to geotechnical, mining and metallurgical recovery assumptions; changes to the input and design parameter assumptions that pertain to the assumptions for underground mining constraining the estimates; assumptions as to the continued ability to access the site, retain mineral and surface rights titles, maintain environment and other regulatory permits, and maintain the social license to operate.

Notes to accompany mineral resource tables:
 
1.
The mineral resource estimates are current as of December 31, 2021 and are reported using the definitions in Item 1300 of Regulation S–K (17 CFR Part 229) (SK1300).
 
2.
The reference point for the mineral resource estimate is in situ.  The Qualified Person for the estimate is Ms. Rae Keim, P.Geo., a Coeur Alaska employee.
 
3.
Mineral resources are reported exclusive of the mineral resources converted to mineral reserves.  Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
 
4.
The estimate uses the following key input parameters:  assumption of conventional longhole underground mining; gold price of US$1,700/oz; reported above a variable gold cut-off grade that ranges from 0.120–0.175 oz/st Au; metallurgical recovery assumption of 95%; gold payability of 97.5%, variable mining costs that range from US$90.91–150.73/st mined, process costs of US$46.93/t processed, general and administrative costs of US$38.83/t processed, and concentrate refining and shipping costs of US$60.00/oz sold.
 
5.
Rounding of short tons, grades, and troy ounces, as required by reporting guidelines, may result in apparent differences between tons, grades, and contained metal contents.
 

1.11
Mineral Reserve Estimation
 

1.11.1
Estimation Methodology
 
Mineral reserves were converted from measured and indicated mineral resources.  Inferred mineral resources were set to waste.  The mine plans assume underground mining using longhole open stoping, trackless equipment and combination of cemented rock fill (CRF), waste, and paste backfill.  Target mining rates are capped at approximately 2,000 tons per day, which is the permitted capacity limit.

Technical Report Summary
   
Estimates of development rate are based on measured advance rates in Kensington, Raven, Jualin, and Elmira and any expected variation from manpower or equipment considerations.  Stope production rates are based on measured values of production since the start of operations.
 
Transverse stoping is the main extraction method used in the Main Kensington center area.  Stope outlines are created on 40 ft centers using the standard level spacing (75 ft in Kensington, 35–50 ft in Raven, 35 ft in Jualin, and 60 ft in Elmira) and the reserve model.  Longitudinal stope designs exist in the fringe regions of Zone 10, much of Zones 12, 30, 35, and 50, much of Elmira, and all of Raven area and represent a majority of the tons in the LOM plan.  These areas of longitudinal stoping are too narrow (>30 ft) to convert to transverse stoping, based on the requisite infrastructure required.  Together with the conventional transverse and longitudinal stopes, there are also some blind back stopes, depending on the reserve model and stoping horizon.
 
For Kensington and Elmira, a dilution factor of 15% was used by for mine planning purposes.  For Jualin and Raven, a dilution factor of 15% for development and 20% for mining was used in the mine plans to account for expected narrow vein longitudinal stoping.  Unintentional mining of paste backfill or CRF has not been excessive to date, though instances of sloughing of material during and post blast have been observed in secondary stopes, adding 1–3% additional waste dilution in a few select stopes.  A dilution grade of 0.063 oz/st Au was calculated and has subsequently been used for external dilution applications for the Kensington and Elmira stopes.  A dilution grade of 0.0 oz/st was used for stopes at Raven and Jualin due to minimal or no mineralization extending past the vein itself.
 
Cut-off grades are determined through historical costing for Kensington, Raven, and Jualin.  Mineral reserve cut-off grades range from 0.142–0.201 oz/st Au.  Some blocks are classed as incremental material, which does not include the G&A or mining costs, as those costs are incurred regardless of what the resource classification may be.  As such, this material must be removed from the mine and the consideration is whether it goes to the waste pile or to a low-grade stockpile that only carries the mining and refining costs.  The intent of this material handling designation is for the material to only be processed when mill tonnage needs to be sustained, but where it does not offset other above cut-off grade material.
 
The gold price used in mineral reserve estimation is based on analysis of three-year rolling averages, long-term consensus pricing, and benchmarks of what other peer companies used for pricing over the past year.  The price used is US$1,400/oz for gold for the mineral reserve estimate.  The QP considers this price to be reasonable.
 

1.11.2
Mineral Reserve Statement
 
Mineral reserves have been classified using the mineral reserve definitions set out in SK1300.  The reference point for the mineral reserve estimate is the point of delivery to the process plant.  Mineral reserves are reported in Table 1‑3 that are current as at December 31, 2021.  Estimates are reported on a 100% ownership basis.

Notes to accompany mineral reserve tables:
 
1.
The Mineral reserve estimates are current as of December 31, 2021 and are reported using the definitions in Item 1300 of Regulation S–K (17 CFR Part 229) (SK1300).
 
2.
The reference point for the mineral reserve estimate is the point of deliver to the process plant.  The Qualified Person for the estimate is Mr. Peter Haarala, RM SME, a Coeur employee.
 
3.
The estimate uses the following key input parameters:  assumption of conventional underground mining; gold price of US$1,400/oz; reported above a gold cut-off grade of 0.142-0.201 oz/st Au; metallurgical recovery assumption of 95%; gold payability of 97.5%, variable mining costs that range from US$90.91–150.73/st mined, process costs of US$46.93/st processed, general and administrative costs of US$38.83/st processed, and concentrate refining and shipping costs of US$60.00/oz sold.
 
4.
Rounding of short tons, grades, and troy ounces, as required by reporting guidelines, may result in apparent differences between tons, grades, and contained metal contents.
 

1.12
Mining Methods
 
The Kensington Operations use conventional underground equipment and mining methods.  The mine has been operating since July 2010.  The remaining mine life is three years, to 2024.
 
Geotechnical conditions underground at Kensington are excellent.  The interaction of the mining sequence on the overall stability of the hanging wall has been investigated by an outside geotechnical expert.  Minor non-reportable occurrences have taken place within open stopes where personnel are not exposed.  Regular additional evaluations by an outside geotechnical expert are ongoing.
 
Raven workings have been extended, using guidance from an outside geotechnical expert, with excellent results to date.  The existing ground support guidelines were confirmed to be appropriate for use in the Jualin deposit.
 
There are few hydrogeological aspects to be considered beyond natural inflow of water to the workings within the Kensington and Raven orebodies.  This inflow is monitored, and the water is captured within the workings to be either treated, or discharged, as per Coeur’s permit requirements.  The Jualin deposit is near surface, with several faults and mineralized veins having surface expression.  These structures collect runoff water and, together with the historic Jualin mine workings acting as a reservoir, channel water to the areas under mining development.
 
The primary access to the Kensington and Raven underground mine areas is via the Kensington Portal at the 964 elevation.  This portal is the primary ingress/egress point for all equipment and personnel to access the Kensington and Raven workings.  There is a secondary portal at 792-elevation on what is known as the Comet Beach side, geographically located on the Lynn Canal side of the mountain.  The Jualin deposit is currently accessed by a decline collared from surface at the 926 elevation.

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Stoping and paste backfill mining methods were selected and implemented based on the orebody location, ground conditions, and geological settings.  Mining design assumptions for each mining region are typically standardized for each area and mining method assumed.  Offsets from the ore, required infrastructure, and support are based on industry standards and best practices, modified by specific location required needs, and operational requirements to safely advance development and production in each area with a minimum of wasted development to maximize efficiency.
 
The mine production schedule is based on a maximum mill throughput rate of 2,000 st per day. Coeur typically processes between 1,750–1,950 st/day with a waste stream of about 10% rejected as a coarse pebble reject, which is then passed through a sorter to further extract ore grade material for re-feed back into the mill.
 
Primary ventilation in the Kensington and Raven mine areas is controlled by two fans located in the Comet drift, which pull air from the Kensington/process plant side, near the mill bench, straight through the mountain and exhaust out the Comet side.  Ventilation raises throughout the mine assist in distributing airflow.  Primary ventilation of the Jualin mine area is accomplished with a duct-mounted fan located at the Jualin portal and an in-line booster at the J0625 level, which direct air through to the working areas.  The air exhausts out though the workings back to the portal via the ramp and up through a series of vent/escape raises exhausting through a 10 ft diameter bored raise to surface.
 
Backfill is a combination of cemented paste fill, CRF, and straight waste fill.
 
The Kensington underground infrastructure consists of the main underground shop, the paste plant, and electrical infrastructure. The Raven and Elmira deposits share underground infrastructure and portal access with Kensington. Jualin shares surface infrastructure with Kensington. However, Jualin is accessed from its own portal.
 
Major mining equipment includes the following equipment types:  loaders, haul trucks, jumbo drills, longhole drills, and bolters.  Ancillary support equipment consists of Getman and MacClean flatbeds, explosives loading vehicles, zoom boom forklifts, Kubota RTV’s and tractors, pickups, compressors, and other standard support equipment.
 
The mining/maintenance personnel requirement for the remaining LOM averages 169 persons.
 

1.13
Recovery Methods
 
The process plant design was based on a combination of metallurgical testwork, study designs, and industry standard practices, together with debottlenecking and optimization activities once the mill was operational.  The design is conventional to the gold industry and has no novel parameters.
 
The Kensington Operations use a flotation mill to recover gold from sulfide-bearing rock.  Crushing and milling facilities are located directly south of the Jualin Portal.  On the portal bench, ore is segregated by grade and blended before being fed to the two-stage, closed-circuit crushing plant.  Once crushed, ore is fed to a ball mill and then to a flotation circuit consisting of two rougher cells and four scavenger cells.  Final cleaner concentrate reports to a concentrate thickener; flotation concentrates are thickened and filtered to approximately 10% moisture.  The final product is a gold concentrate.  The mill throughput was increased from a previous maximum of 69 st/hr in 2012 to 84 st/hr.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 1-13

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
The mill requires approximately 1.5 to 2.0 MW of power to operate at full capacity.  Currently, there is no expectation for this power demand to increase.  Recycled water for use in the process plant is sent from the paste plant, the concentrate and tailings thickeners, and water reclaimed from the tailings treatment facility (TTF).  Johnson Creek is a back-up fresh water source for the mine site, but extraction is subject to permit conditions.  Consumables used in processing include potassium amyl xanthate; methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC); AERO 3894 (promoter); MaxGold 900 (promoter); steel (grinding media); and Z-Flocc 2525.
 

1.14
Infrastructure
 
The Slate Creek Cove Marine Terminal Facility and a 5.7-mile all-weather access road from the terminal to the mine provides all personnel and materials access to the mine.  The Slate Creek Cove Marine Terminal Facility includes docking capabilities for main line ocean-going barges, personnel ferries, float planes, ramp barges, and landing craft.
 
Site infrastructure is located at both the Kensington and Jualin deposit areas:
 
Surface facilities at Kensington include 2.3 miles of all-weather access road from Comet Beach to the Comet Portal (850 Level), the mine water treatment facility with two settling ponds, and a development rock storage facility.  Underground infrastructure includes a paste backfill plant, maintenance shop, warehouse, explosive storage, dewatering, and ventilation.
 
Surface facilities at Jualin include a 375-person accommodation camp, dining facility, administration building with medical clinic, warehouse, run-of-mine ore stockpile, crusher and flotation mill, and the TTF at Lower Slate Lake.  The Kensington Tunnel, completed in July 2007, connects the Jualin mill facilities to the orebody.  The tunnel is the primary artery for ore haulage, materials transport, and personnel access.  The tunnel includes 9,660 ft of development from the Kensington Portal to the Kensington ramp system.
 
Kensington has several existing waste rock stockpiles onsite including at Comet, Pit 1, Pit 4, Pit 7, and the Portal Pad.  With the approval of Coeur Alaska’s Plan of Operations Amendment 1 (POA-1), expected in early 2022, Coeur will be allowed to expand the existing Comet, Portal, and Pit 4 stockpiles and create one new stockpile.
 
The existing TTF is currently operating at Stage 3.  Coeur has initiated engineering work for a possible Stage 4 dam raise if additional reserves are added.  The current Stage 3 TTF has capacity to accommodate the remaining LOM storage requirements. Tailings will continue to be backfilled underground as paste to reduce the need for additional storage capacity at the TTF
 
Groundwater captured in the underground mine workings is conveyed to the Comet mine water treatment plant and treated and discharged to Sherman Creek.  Surface water runoff and mill process waters that enter the tailings treatment facility are treated and discharged to the east fork of Slate Creek.  The Comet water treatment facility consists of two water plants and a tertiary plant that supports the primary plants during high treatment demand periods.
 
Electrical power at Kensington is generated by four diesel engines located inside the powerhouse building on the north end of the mill bench.  Power use continues to increase with current peak winter loads at 90–92% of three-generator capacity.  Power capacity is sufficient for the LOM.

Markets and Contracts
 

1.15.1
Market Studies
 
The Kensington Operations produce flotation concentrate containing both gold and silver.  The concentrate is highly desirable due to its elevated gold content and lack of deleterious elements.  Concentrate is exported out of Seattle, Washington and delivered to smelters in Europe and Asia where it is consumed, processed, and the valuable metals extracted.
 
Concentrate is sold directly to international commodity traders, who then sell onto smelters in Europe and Asia.  Subject to the gold and silver content, gold is typically payable around 98%, and silver payable around 80%.  There are typically no penalties for deleterious elements.  Treatment charges, refining charges, and all other terms and conditions are typical and consistent with standard industry practice for such gold concentrates.
 

1.15.2
Commodity Pricing
 
Coeur uses a combination of analysis of three-year rolling averages, long-term consensus pricing, and benchmarks to pricing used by industry peers over the past year when considering long-term commodity price forecasts. 
 
Higher metal prices are used for the mineral resource estimates to ensure the mineral reserves are a sub-set of, and not constrained by, the mineral resources, in accordance with industry-accepted practice.
 
The long-term gold price forecasts are:
 
Mineral reserves:
 

o
US$1,400/oz Au;
 
Mineral resources: 
 

o
US$1,700/oz Au;
 
The economic evaluation uses gold price forecasts of US$1,750/oz for 2022 and 2023, and US$1,700/oz in 2024.
 
The QP considers the price forecasts to be reasonable.
 

1.15.3
Contracts
 
Concentrate is barged in bags in containers from Slate Creek Cove in Berners Bay, Alaska to Seattle, Washington.  The bags are then transloaded from barge containers into international containers for export out of Seattle to Europe and Asia.  The typical cost to transport concentrate from Slate Creek Cove to Europe and Asia is around US$220 per wet metric tonne, subject to the destination and international ocean freight market conditions.
 
There are numerous contracts in place at the Project to support mine development or processing. Currently there are contracts in place to provide supply for all major commodities used in mining and processing, such as equipment vendors, power, explosives, cyanide, tire suppliers, contract mining, ground support suppliers, and drilling contractors.  The terms and rates for these contracts are within industry norms.  The contracts are periodically put up for bid or re-negotiated as required.

Environmental, Permitting and Social Considerations
 

1.16.1
Environmental Studies and Monitoring
 
Numerous baseline studies were performed in support of Project permitting.  These included air, water, aquatic resources, geology, wildlife, soil, vegetation, wetlands, and cultural resources.  Four environmental impact statement (EIS) documents were prepared, the most recent being a supplemental EIS in 2021.
 
Environmental monitoring at the site includes water quality, aquatic resource, tailings and waste rock geochemistry, wildlife, and stormwater.
 

1.16.2
Closure and Reclamation Considerations
 
A reclamation and closure plan has been prepared and approved by the governing agencies for the Project.  The current plan was updated in 2021 and reflects current mining, mitigation, and site facilities.
 
Coeur conducts an annual review of its potential reclamation responsibilities company-wide.  The total LOM cost for physical reclamation and long-term monitoring of the Kensington Operations is currently estimated to be US$23.7 M.  Reclamation is anticipated to be completed three years following cessation of mining.  Closure-related activities will continue until about 2055.
 

1.16.3
Permitting
 
All required local, state, and federal permits for operation have been issued.  Plan of Operations Amendment 1 (POA-1) was submitted to the Forest Service in 2018 and is currently under review by the local, state, and federal agencies.  POA-1 will provide 5 Mst of additional waste rock storage and 4 Mst of additional tailings storage at site.  A Final Supplemental Impact Statement was completed in July 2021 and the Final Record of Decision (ROD) is expected in early 2022.
 

1.16.4
Social Considerations, Plans, Negotiations and Agreements
 
Coeur has had a long and positive relationship with the community of Juneau and southeast Alaska.  Coeur partners with many stakeholders, including national, regional, and state mining associations; trade organizations; fishing organizations; state and local chambers of commerce; economic development organizations; non-government organizations; and state and federal governments.
 

1.17
Capital Cost Estimates
 
Capital cost estimates are at a minimum at a pre-feasibility level of confidence, having an accuracy level of ±25% and a contingency range not exceeding 15%.
 
The cost estimates are based on a combination of first principal estimates, historic performance, and quotations.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
All major capital construction projects needed to maintain consistent production and extraction of mineral reserves at the Kensington Operations were completed in 2013.  Additional capital projects have been completed since 2013 to improve mill throughput, enhance power generation, and increase tailings capacity.
 
Capital development is a concurrent allocation of costs that are derived by taking the number of capital feet driven times the recorded weighted costs to drive those feet in the period they were driven.  Both types of capital expenditures are sustaining and or improvement capital projects.  Each project is selected for the current year of operation, based on the annual allocation of corporate capital funds, the effect the project has on production and or the internal rate of return.
 
Exploration capital is the cost associated with activities involving resource infill drilling and the conversion of those mineral resources to mineral reserves.
 
Capital projects envisaged in the LOM include:  Elmira paste booster station engineering; heat recovery detailed design; TTF stage 4 engineering; POA1 construction of WRSFs; and water treatment plant sulfate removal
 
The total LOM capital cost estimate is US$47.6 M (Table 1‑4).
 

1.18
Operating Cost Estimates
 
Operating cost estimates are at a minimum at a pre-feasibility level of confidence, having an accuracy level of ±25% and a contingency range not exceeding 15%.
 
Operating costs are based on actual costs seen during operations and are projected through the LOM plan.  Historical costs are used as the basis for operating cost forecasts for supplies and services unless there are new contract terms for these items.  Labor and energy costs are based on budgeted rates applied to headcounts and energy consumption estimates.
 
The total LOM operating cost estimate is US$274.4 M (Table 1‑5).

Methodology and Assumptions
 
Coeur records its financial costs on an accrual basis and adheres to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
 
The financial costs used for this analysis are based on the 2022 LOM budget model.  The economic analysis is based on 100% equity financing and is reported on a 100% project ownership basis.  The economic analysis assumes constant prices with no inflationary adjustments.
 
The mineral reserves support a mine life of three years to 2024.
 

1.19.3
Economic Analysis
 
The NPV at a discount rate of 5% is $83.7 M.  As the cashflows are based on existing operations where all costs are considered sunk, considerations of payback and internal rate of return are not relevant.
 
An annualized cashflow statement is provided in Table 1‑6.  The active mining operation ceases in 2024.  Closure costs are estimated to 2055; however, for presentation purposes, closure costs are shown in Table 1‑6 as occurring within 2025.

Sensitivity Analysis
 
The sensitivity of the Project to changes in metal prices, operating cost, capital cost, and grade assumptions was tested.
 
The Project is most sensitive to metal price and grade, less sensitive to operating costs, and least sensitive to capital costs (Table 1‑7).
 

1.20
Risks and Opportunities
 
Factors that may affect the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates were identified in Chapter 1.10 and Chapter 1.11.3 respectively and discussed in more detail in Chapter 11 and Chapter 12.
 

1.20.1
Risks
 
Risks include:
 
Commodity price increases for key consumables such diesel, electricity, tires and consumables would negatively impact the stated mineral reserves and mineral resources;
 
Labor cost increases or productivity decreases could also impact the stated mineral reserves and mineral resources, or impact the economic analysis that supports the mineral reserves;
 
Geotechnical and hydrological assumptions used in mine planning are based on historical performance, and to date historical performance has been a reasonable predictor of current conditions.  Any changes to the geotechnical and hydrological assumptions could affect mine planning, affect capital cost estimates if any major rehabilitation is required due to a geotechnical or hydrological event, affect operating costs due to mitigation measures that may need to be imposed, and impact the economic analysis that supports the mineral reserve estimates;
 
The mineral resource estimates are sensitive to metal prices.  Lower metal prices require revisions to the mineral resource estimates;
 
Assumptions that the long-term reclamation and mitigation of the Kensington Operations can be appropriately managed within the estimated closure timeframes and closure cost estimates;

1.20.2
Opportunities
 
Opportunities include:
 
Conversion of some or all of the measured and indicated mineral resources currently reported exclusive of mineral reserves to mineral reserves, with appropriate supporting studies;
 
Upgrade of some or all of the inferred mineral resources to higher-confidence categories, such that such better-confidence material could be used in mineral reserve estimation;
 
Higher metal prices than forecast could present upside sales opportunities and potentially an increase in predicted Project economics;
 
Ability to define additional mineralization around known veins through exploration;
 
Discovery and development of new exploration targets across the district;
 
Potential to find or gain access to new mineralization sources that could be processed at the existing Kensington process facilities.
 

1.21
Conclusions
 
Under the assumptions in this Report, the operations evaluated show a positive cash flow over the remaining LOM.  The mine plan is achievable under the set of assumptions and parameters used.
 

1.22
Recommendations
 
As the Kensington Operations is an operating mine, the QPs have no material recommendations to make.

The Kensington Portal, which accesses the Kensington deposit, is located at 0496957 E, 6523068N.  The Raven deposit is located at 0490156E, 6530584N and the Jualin deposit at 0497189E, 6522549N.
 

3.2
Ownership
 
The Project is operated by Coeur Alaska, a wholly-owned Coeur subsidiary.
 

3.3
Mineral Title
 

3.3.1
Tenure Holdings
 
Coeur Alaska controls two contiguous claims groups: the Kensington group and Jualin group.  Claim types are summarized in Table 3‑1.  An overall claim location map is provided in Figure 3‑1.  Detailed claim tables and claim location maps are provided in Appendix A.
 
The Kensington and Jualin claims groups are in all or part of the following sections, which are located within the Juneau Recording District and Copper River Meridian, Alaska:
 
Township 34 South, Range 62 East, Sections 27 through 35;
 
Township 35 South, Range 62 East, Sections 01 through 16, 22 through 27, 35, 36;
 
Township 36 South, Range 62 East, Sections 01 and 02.
 
Fourteen of the 23 patented lode claims in the Jualin group cover private surface estate only.  The mineral estate to these 14 patented lode claims located within the U.S. Mineral Surveys is owned by the State of Alaska, the mineral rights to which are secured by a State of Alaska upland mining lease.  Coeur also controls the properties comprising the Jualin group, under a lease agreement with Hyak Mining Company (see Chapter 3.6).
 

3.3.2
Tenure Maintenance Requirements
 
The federal unpatented lode claims are maintained by the timely annual payment of claim maintenance fees, which are $165.00 per claim, payable to the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management on or before September 1.  Should the annual claim maintenance fee not be paid by then, the unpatented lode claims are, by operation of law, rendered forfeit.

Technical Report Summary
   
State of Alaska mining claims and upland mining leases are maintained with fees and filings to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water and the Juneau Recorder’s Office.  These fees range from $35–$680 per claim, depending on the size and age of the claim.  Annual labor in the amount of $100 or $400 per State mining claim, depending on the size of the claim, must be performed or a cash payment in-lieu of the performance of that labor must be paid to the State each year.
 
The patented lode claims are private land and therefore not subject to federal claim maintenance requirements.  However, as private land, they are subject to property taxes assessed by the Borough and City of Juneau, Alaska, which are due annually on or before September 30 each year.
 
All payments have been timely made and the claims are in good standing.
 

3.4
Surface Rights
 
The Kensington Operations hold all necessary surface rights to support the life-of-mine (LOM) plan.
 

3.5
Water Rights
 
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources has granted the water use permits listed in Table 3‑2.  Permits can be renewed on application.  No additional water rights are required to support the LOM plan.
 

3.6
Agreements and Royalties
 
Of the royalties discussed in the following sub-sections, only the Hyak Mining Company (Hyak) royalty affects the mineral reserve estimates and is included in the economic analysis in Chapter 19.  The royalty is only payable on production from the Jualin deposit.
 

3.6.1
Hyak Agreement
 
Coeur Alaska has an agreement with the Hyak Mining Company (Hyak), as amended August 5, 2005, and further amended July 1, 2009, and October 24, 2013 over the Jualin group claims area (the Hyak Lease).  The current Hyak Lease period, which is the second term of the lease, commenced on August 5, 2020 and ends on August 5, 2035.
 
Under the terms of the Hyak Lease, Coeur Alaska must pay Hyak annually, during the initial term, by or before May 1, an advance minimum royalty of $231,000, which is adjusted every three years in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index, published by the U.S. Department of Commerce for all Urban Consumers, City of Anchorage, Alaska.

If production occurs from the leased premises, a 5% net returns royalty on production as defined by the Hyak Lease, is due, unless the amount of the net returns royalty is less than the adjusted advance minimum royalty.  If the net returns royalty is less, then the advance minimum royalty is paid instead of the net returns royalty.  The leased premises under the Hyak lease is currently in production.
 
The Hyak Lease will continue after 2035, provided mining and production are actively occurring within and from the leased premises.  The advance minimum royalties and prepaid consideration for the second lease term are recoupable by Coeur Alaska by the company crediting and recovering these payments against future net returns and royalties on production due to Hyak. The recoupment cannot in any given year cause the net returns royalties to be reduced to less than the advance minimum royalty amount, as adjusted.

ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY
 

4.1
Physiography
 
The Project area lies at the southern terminus of the Kakuhan Range, where it merges with the Coast Range Mountains.  Terrain is generally rugged within the Project Area, extending from sea level to over 4,700 feet in elevation.  Topographic relief ranges from moderate, near sea level, to rugged at the base of Lions Head Mountain.  Four portals give access to the underground workings; the Kensington Portal at 964 ft. elevation, the Comet Portal at 792 ft. elevation, the 2050 Portal at 2,025 ft elevation, and the Jualin Portal at 926 ft. elevation.
 
Vegetation ranges from dense coniferous forest at sea level to dense brush and bare rock.  The tree line is between 3,000–3,500 ft in elevation, depending on slope aspect.
 

4.2
Accessibility
 
The Kensington Gold Mine is approximately 48 miles northwest of the capital city of Juneau, Alaska, and access to the Kensington and Jualin properties is by aircraft (helicopter or float plane) or boat from Juneau.  The mine, mill, and camp complex at Jualin is accessed by boat from Auke Bay, Yankee Cove, or Echo Cove to the Slate Creek Cove dock facility (north side of Berners Bay), then five miles by an all-weather gravel road.
 
Kensington can be reached via Lynn Canal to the support facilities near the 850 Portal on the eastern shore of Lynn Canal or by transit through the mine.  Access to existing mine workings (850 Level Portal) is by three miles of all-weather gravel road from Comet Beach or from the Jualin side of the property.
 
Heavy equipment and supplies can be brought to both sides of the Project directly from Juneau by barge.
 

4.3
Climate
 
Southeastern Alaska’s climate is the warmest and wettest in Alaska with over 50 inches of annual rainfall in the Juneau area.  The climate in the Project vicinity is maritime with a mean annual precipitation of about 85 inches at the lower mine elevations.  Annual snowfall varies from a few feet at sea level to greater than 10 feet at the 2050 Level Portal.
 
Mining operations are conducted year-round.  Snow removal equipment is required to keep site roads open during winter month.
 

4.4
Infrastructure
 
Juneau provides most of the services required to support the Kensington Operations, with other nearby communities including Haines and Skagway adding to the potential employment base.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 4-1

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
The area has a long mining history and there are active mines in the area from which Coeur can realize vendor synergies and have access to local skilled miners and technical personnel.  The Alaska Marine Highway is the primary form of transportation between Juneau, Haines, and Skagway.  A dedicated crew ferry and buses transport mine employees to and from Kensington on a regular basis from Juneau.
 
Electrical power is supplied by diesel generators.
 
Water is sourced for process operations from recycled water from the paste plant, the concentrate and tailings thickeners, and water reclaimed from the tailings treatment facility (TTF), and supplemented when needed from a permitted allowance for freshwater extraction from Johnson Creek.
 
The Kensington Operations currently have all infrastructure in place to support mining and processing activities (see also discussions in Chapter 13, Chapter 14, and Chapter 15 of this Report).  These Report chapters also discuss water sources, electricity, personnel, and supplies.

HISTORY
 
Mining activity in the Berners Bay district began in the late 1890s, primarily exploiting gold deposits hosted in the Jualin diorite.  The larger of the underground operations were focused on the Kensington, Comet, and Jualin deposits.  Mining activity had largely ceased by the end of the first world war.
 
A summary of the recent exploration and development history of the Kensington Operations is provided in Table 5‑1.

Technical Report Summary

GEOLOGICAL SETTING, MINERALIZATION, AND DEPOSIT
 

6.1
Deposit Type
 
The deposits that comprise the Kensington Operations are considered to be examples of orogenic gold deposits.  Such deposits have many synonyms including mesothermal vein-style, mesozonal and hypozonal deposits, lode gold, shear zone-related quartz–carbonate deposits, or gold-only deposits.
 
Orogenic gold deposits occur in variably deformed metamorphic terranes formed during Middle Archean to younger Precambrian, and continuously throughout the Phanerozoic.  The host geological environments are typically volcano–plutonic or clastic sedimentary terranes, but gold deposits can be hosted by any rock type.  There is a consistent spatial and temporal association with granitoids of a variety of compositions.
 
Gold deposition occurs adjacent to first-order, deep-crustal fault zones.  Economic mineralization typically formed as vein fill of second- and third-order shears and faults, particularly at jogs or changes in strike along the crustal fault zones.  Mineralization styles vary from stockworks and breccias in shallow, brittle regimes, through laminated crack-seal veins and sigmoidal vein arrays in brittle-ductile crustal regions, to replacement- and disseminated-type orebodies in deeper, ductile environments.
 
Quartz is the primary constituent of veins, with lesser carbonate and sulfide minerals.  Sulfide minerals can include pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite.  Gold is usually associated with sulfide minerals, but native gold can occur.
 

6.2
Regional Geology
 
The Berners Bay mining district forms the northern end of the approximately 200-km-long Juneau gold belt and is situated along the western margin of the Coast Mountains.
 
The district is underlain by Triassic mafic metavolcanic rocks of the Wrangellia Terrane.  The Cretaceous Jualin Diorite stock intrudes the western margin of the Wrangellia Terrane.  Both the Triassic metavolcanic rocks and the Jualin Diorite are overlain by Cretaceous-aged metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Treadwell Formation of the Gravina Belt.  The unconformity between the Jualin Diorite and the Gravina Belt metasedimentary rocks is marked by a Cretaceous conglomerate.

6.3.1
Lithologies
 
The mafic metavolcanic rocks of the Wrangellia Terrane in the Berners Bay area are composed of a series of massive pyroxene and feldspar porphyritic flows that locally contain pillows and are weakly foliated near the contact with the Jualin Diorite (Miller et al., 1995).  Contact metamorphism of the basalt is readily visible within about 100 m of the Jualin Diorite (Knopf, 1911).
 
The Jualin Diorite is a 12 km2 elongate, northwest-trending body.  Modal analyses (Miller et al., 1995) indicate it to be largely a quartz monzonite to quartz monzodiorite.  Quartz monzodiorite is the primary mineralization host.  It is medium-grained, granular hornblende–quartz monzodiorite with minor biotite ± magnetite and sphene.  Where cross-cut by shear zones, chlorite is common.  The Jualin Diorite is typically massive, jointed and blocky.  Joints commonly strike north to northwest and dip steeply to the east, or strike northwest to north–northeast and dip shallowly to the east (Miller et al., 1995).
 
The Treadwell Formation in the Berners Bay area consists of a folded sequence of maroon, green, and black metasedimentary rocks with local volcaniclastic layers.  The contact between the Wrangellia Terrane metabasalts and the Treadwell Formation is not exposed in the Berners Bay area.  Redman (1984) described an unconformity and depositional contact between Treadwell Formation rocks and the Jualin Diorite.  Because the Jualin diorite intrudes into the metabasalt, Treadwell Formation rocks are assumed to unconformably overlie the Wrangellia Terrane metabasalt (Miller et al., 1995).
 

6.3.2
Structure
 
All significant gold vein deposits are hosted in the Jualin diorite between the northwest-trending, first-order Coastal Shear Zone, a broad chlorite-bearing ductile, and syn-metamorphic shear zone that passes through tonalite of the Coast Plutonic complex approximately 1.2 miles east of the diorite, and the Gastineau Shear Zone, which is the largest of a set of ductile shear zones that pass through the Gravina belt to the southwest (Miller, 1995).
 
A zone of second- and third-order shears, termed the Kensington Megashear zone, appears to be the most significant influence on mineralized vein systems in the district (refer to Figure 6‑1).
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Brittle faults and third-order shear zones host discrete and extensional quartz–carbonate veins and gold mineralization.
 
Discrete vein systems are defined by one or more through-going fault-fill quartz veins that typically host the highest-grade gold mineralization, dip moderately to steeply east, and typically range between a few inches to several feet in width.  Extensional veins consist of zones of numerous veins that mostly dip steeply to moderately west but are contained within an overall east-dipping system, and occur adjacent to, or at, terminations of fault-fill veins.
 
Figure 6‑2 illustrates stages in the development of a sigmoidal extension vein array and discrete shear vein system.
 

6.3.3
Alteration
 
In the Berners Bay area, mineral assemblages of chlorite–biotite + quartz in metabasalts and diorite indicate that metamorphism in this part of the Gravina belt and Wrangellia Terrane did not exceed greenschist facies (Miller et al., 1995).
 
Within the Jualin Diorite, the earliest alteration event is a late magmatic alkali metasomatism defined by sericitization and albitization of calcic plagioclase phenocrysts, and subsequent K feldspar flooding, much in the form of pegmatitic dikes.  Chlorite, magnetite, chalcopyrite, and bornite are accessory minerals associated with the early metasomatism.  A later, widespread propylitic event is dominated by calcite, epidote, and less commonly, sphene.
 

6.3.4
Mineralization
 
Mineralization of economic importance is restricted to veins within the Jualin Diorite.  Minor gold-anomalous quartz veins have been reported in Wrangellia Terrane metabasalt and in the metasedimentary rocks of the Treadwell Formation.
 

6.3.4.1
Discrete Veins
 
Discrete veins are hosted in shear zones that typically trend to the north or northwest, and are steeply easterly or northeasterly dipping.  East dipping fault-fill veins are the dominant structures in the Kensington deposit.
 
The quartz–pyrite–carbonate–sericite ± chlorite veins were developed along the plane of the shear zones, but also underwent continued deformation after emplacement.
 
Gold hosting shear zones have a northeast side up (reverse)–right lateral shear sense, typical of other shear zones in the deposit area.  If this shear sense is coeval with vein formation, it may provide predictable potential ore shoot control.  Evidence from previously-mined (e.g., Raven) and drill-tested veins suggests that shallow to moderate south–southwest plunging ore shoots occur at jogs and steps in the shear vein system, which is compatible with a dominantly reverse sense.
 
Discrete-style veins are observed in the Raven, Kensington Zone 41, Elmira, Eureka, Comet, and Jualin deposit areas.

Technical Report Summary
   
Figure 6‑2:          Schematic Showing Development of Discrete and Extensional Vein Arrays
 
 
Note:  Figure from Rhys, (2010).  Extension vein arrays typically evolve from an en-echelon array of early extension veins (A), through gradual deformation into sigmoidal shapes (B) with shear movement along the core of the array. Eventually, the original extension veins may become partially (C) or fully (D) transposed into the shear zone, and a continuous shear vein may propagate along the shear zone. Later phases of extension veining may be superimposed onto the forming shear vein system (D).
 

6.3.4.2
Extension Veins
 
Mineralized zones of this style are defined by increases in concentration and abundance of quartz-carbonate-chlorite veins, and later quartz–iron-carbonate veining.
 
Extensional-style veins are recognized in the main Kensington deposit, the Eureka area and in the Elmira zone to the east.  Most of the veins in the Kensington system are the extensional veins, which occur approximately orthogonal to the discrete fault-fill veins. These extensional veins are higher density and lower grade, and mostly occur between stacked fault-fill veins.
 

6.3.4.3
Horizontal Veins
 
Horizontal to sub-horizontal thin (<1 ft) vein occurrences are found throughout the Kensington system.  These veins or ‘flats’ are locally continuous for the entire width of the economic zone, are often very high-grade and locally host lenses composed of almost 100% pyrite.

Technical Report Summary
   

6.3.4.4
Mineralization
 
Vein mineralization is characterized by gold and gold-silver telluride minerals with minor associated native gold.  Most of the gold is contained in calaverite (AuTe2), which occurs in association with native gold as inclusions in and interstitial to pyrite grains and in microfractures in pyrite.  Trace amounts of petzite (Ag3AuTe2), coloradoite (HgTe) and altaite (PbTe) have also been noted.  Minor amounts of chalcopyrite are also present along with trace amounts of bornite, molybdenite, sphalerite, galena, and pyrrhotite.  The auriferous pyrite typically occurs in small to large blebs or clots within the quartz and quartz–carbonate veins (Miller, 1995).

Property Geology
 
Deposit descriptions are provided for the deposits with mineral resource estimates, namely the Kensington, Eureka, Raven, Jualin and Elmira deposits.
 

6.4.1
Kensington
 

6.4.1.1
Deposit Dimensions
 
The Kensington deposit consists of both discrete shear veins and a network of extensional veins.  It is about 3,500 ft long, 2,100 ft wide, ranges in thickness from 1–100ft, and is drill tested to about -600 ft depth.
 
A cross section showing the deposit location is provided in Figure 6‑3.
 

6.4.1.2
Lithologies
 
The deposit is hosted in the Jualin Diorite.
 

6.4.1.3
Structure
 
The Kensington vein system is a north-trending, steeply east-dipping network of quartz extension veins and shear veins. The overall veining style is semi-brittle, defined by both vein development (an overall brittle structural style), and the development of sigmoidal folds to vein sets and foliation (ductile style), which accommodate ductile displacement and shortening across the zone.
 

6.4.1.4
Alteration
 
Tan-colored sericite-carbonate-pyrite alteration is locally developed immediately adjacent to shear veins and vein arrays, but quickly gives way to surrounding chlorite-dominant, propylitic, alteration, which affects mafic minerals in the diorite (Rhys, 2008).

Mineralization
 
Mineralization occurs primarily as disseminated pyrite or pyrite seams and blebs, that range from 1–6 inches in thickness, and are contained within discrete shear veins or stacked networks of sheeted extensional veins. Minor amounts of chalcopyrite occur within the deposit as well.
 

6.4.2
Eureka
 

6.4.2.1
Deposit Dimensions
 
The Eureka deposit consists of both discrete shear veins and a network of extensional veins.  It is about 950 ft long, 900 ft wide, ranges in thickness from 1–30ft, and is drill tested to about -1,350 ft depth.  The Eureka deposit sits immediately in the footwall of the Kensington deposit and has many similar characteristics to the Kensington deposit.

6.4.2.2
Lithologies
 
The deposit is hosted in the Jualin Diorite.
 

6.4.2.3
Structure
 
The Eureka vein system is a north-trending, steeply east-dipping network of quartz extension veins and shear veins.  The overall veining style is semi-brittle, defined by both vein development (an overall brittle structural style), and the development of sigmoidal folds to vein sets and foliation (ductile style), which accommodate ductile displacement and shortening across the zone.  The parallel, hosting, structure of the Eureka deposit commonly contains gouge, <1 inch thick, on both the footwall and hanging wall.
 

6.4.2.4
Alteration
 
Tan-colored sericite–carbonate–pyrite alteration is locally developed immediately adjacent to shear veins and vein arrays, but quickly gives way to the surrounding chlorite-dominant, propylitic, alteration, which affects mafic minerals in the Jualin Diorite (Rhys, 2008).  The Eureka system as a whole also shows moderate amounts of oxide staining along the control structure.
 

6.4.2.5
Mineralization
 
Mineralization occurs primarily as disseminated pyrite or pyrite seams and blebs, 1–6 inches thick, which are contained within discrete shear veins or stacked networks of sheeted extensional veins. Minor amounts of chalcopyrite occur within the deposit.
 

6.4.3
Raven
 
The Raven vein is located about 2,000 ft west of the main Kensington deposit.
 

6.4.3.1
Deposit Dimensions
 
The Raven deposit is about 2,200 ft long, 1,500 ft wide, ranges in thickness from 1–20 ft, and is drill tested to about -250 ft depth.  It consists of one main, economic vein with associated splays that vary in grade.
 
A cross section showing the deposit location was provided in Figure 6‑3.

Technical Report Summary
   

6.4.3.2
Lithologies
 
The deposit is hosted in the Jualin Diorite.
 

6.4.3.3
Structure
 
The Raven vein is a north-trending, moderately east-dipping shear vein hosted within a sub-parallel, tightly foliated, ductile, shear zone.  Vein thickness and orientation is controlled by the prevalent C–S fabric (metamorphic fabric formed by the intersection of shear surfaces within rocks affected by dynamic metamorphism) of the shear with blow-outs occurring along jogs in the system.
 

6.4.3.4
Alteration
 
Alteration is minimal in the Raven and is dominated by pervasive, weak to moderate, propylitic alteration of the surrounding Jualin Diorite.
 

6.4.3.5
Mineralization
 
The shear vein contains pods, lenses, and shear bands of pyrite, petzite, calaverite, hessite, chalcopyrite, galena and native gold.  Mineralization occurs primarily as disseminated pyrite or pyrite seams and blebs, 1–6 inches thick, contained within the hosting discrete shear vein.
 

6.4.4
Jualin
 

6.4.4.1
Deposit Dimensions
 
The Jualin deposit is about 675 ft long, 1,025 ft wide, ranges in thickness from 1–15 ft, and has been drill tested to about -322 ft depth.  It consists of numerous stacked quartz veins but only Vein 2 and Vein 4 are currently considered economic.
 
A cross-section through the Jualin deposit is included as Figure 6‑4.

Technical Report Summary
   

6.4.4.3
Structure
 
The Jualin deposit consists of north-trending, steeply east-dipping shear veins hosted within a sub-parallel, tightly foliated, shear zone.  The vein thickness and orientation are controlled by the prevalent C–S fabric of the shear with blow outs occurring along jogs in the system.  Occasional west-dipping, gouge-filled faults offset the vein as much as 40 ft in a reverse left-lateral sense similar to the overall structure fabric of the region.
 

6.4.4.4
Alteration
 
Alteration is minimal in the Jualin and is dominated by pervasive, weak to moderate, propylitic alteration of the surrounding diorite with local zones of sericitic alteration and silica flooding.
 

6.4.4.5
Mineralization
 
The large veins (2 and 4) within the system tend to be high grade.  The veins dominantly contain pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and native gold.  Mineralization occurs as seams, blebs, and disseminated grains throughout the veins that rarely continues into the host diorite, and associated extensional veins are only weakly mineralized.
 

6.4.5
Elmira
 
The Elmira deposit is located about 2,500 ft east of the main Kensington deposit and consists of one main quartz vein with associated splays.
 

6.4.5.1
Deposit Dimensions
 
The Elmira deposit is about 2,200 ft long, 1,400 ft wide, ranges in thickness from 1–20 ft, and is drill tested to about -50 ft elevation.  A cross-section through the Elmira deposit was included in Figure 6‑3.
 

6.4.5.2
Lithologies
 
The deposit consists of stacked, discrete, quartz veins hosted in the Jualin Diorite.
 

6.4.5.3
Structure
 
While the veins are hosted within sub-parallel shear or fault fill structures, there does not appear to be interaction with other structures that control extents of veining and mineralization.  That is, the current interpretation does not identify significant faults or fractures oblique or orthogonal to the mineralized body that control vein width, extent, or mineralization.  Rather, vein width and extent appear to be purely a function of the dilatational extents within the C–S fabric of the hosting shear.

Technical Report Summary
   

6.4.5.4
Alteration
 
Alteration is dominantly weak propylitic alteration of the surrounding diorite with the exception of the immediate hanging wall to the main vein which shows strong alteration of plagioclase to muscovite with an associated decrease in competency.
 

6.4.5.5
Mineralization
 
Mineralization within the veins ranges from widely-disseminated pyrite to stringers, blebs, and pyrite breccias.  The mineralization does not seem to favor either the footwall or hanging wall, though it tends to be more abundant near margins or smaller internal structures within the veins.

EXPLORATION

Exploration
 

7.1.1
Grids and Surveys
 
Coeur has used the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system using the North America datum of 1983 (NAD83) and 1927 (NAD27) for all exploratory surface mapping and geochemical since 2012.  The UTM Zone is Zone 8 North.
 
Coeur uses a local NAD 1927 State Plane Alaska ZONE 1 FIPSZONE:5001 coordinate grid for locating surface and underground drill holes.  All data collected in UTM NAD83 and UTM NAD27 are converted into NAD27 Alaska State Plane using a coordinate transformation before being imported into the Project acQuire database.
 

7.1.2
Geological Mapping
 
Surface reconnaissance geological mapping was completed by Coeur personnel at scales ranging from regional scale 1:2,400 to 1:240 scales used in some detailed outcrop maps.
 
Underground mapping is completed at either 1:240 or 1:120 scales depending on the complexity of geology in the area.
 

7.1.3
Geochemistry
 
Soil geochemical sampling was conducted with shovels and hand augers to collect 8–12 oz ounces of C horizon soils.  Sample points were spaced in 25 northerly rows with 100 ft spacings and 15 easterly columns with 50 ft spacings.
 
Analysis used an unidentified multi-element analytical procedure.  A total of 330 samples were collected in the period May–June, 2021. Sample results indicate that the material sampled does not accurately reflect mapping due to the C soil horizon being dominated by glacial till.  Areas near Johnson Creek support bedrock mapping.  Two areas of interest were identified as potential clusters to use for target generation; however, they are derived from the till samples and due to the proximity to the Fremming shaft are likely contaminated with mined material.

The 2012 data are better resolution than the 2004–2005 survey information.  Geophysical data were used for anomaly delineation, structural evaluation, and identification of lithologic trends.
 

7.1.5
Qualified Person’s Interpretation of the Exploration Information
 
The Kensington area has been extensively explored for more than 100 years and a considerable database has developed as a result of both exploration and mining activities.  By volume the database is primarily built from core logging data.  Codes are used for alteration and structural intensity and continuous numerical variables returned from assays.  Information is synthesized from this data using statistical modelling with geological inferences.  Statistical models are sometimes tested with simulations and/or additional sampling.
 

7.1.6
Exploration Potential
 
Kensington is a target-rich environment given that it is an orogenic gold system that can reasonably be expected to have an overall vertical and lateral extent of several thousand feet.  Using this interpretation, it is necessary to test offsetting relationships whenever it appears that a vein is closed, down dip.
 
Exploration at Kensington is broken into four tiers:
 

Tier one:  consists of targets in currently-mined areas, and includes Kensington, Jualin, Raven, and Eureka targeting extension in both down-dip, laterally primarily to south, and up-dip to the limit of mining defined by the crown pillar;
 

Tier two:  consists of prospects with advanced exploration.  Currently this encompasses the Elmira and Johnson vein systems, and the hanging wall Jennifer target associated with Raven;
 

Tier three:  ready-to-drill targets.  Targets include Comet/Seward, Valentine/Fremming, Big Lake, and Gold King targets.  These require additional drilling and interpretation work to be advanced;
 

Tier four:  the lowest tier are prospects that require additional field work to generate a drill ready target.  Field work will typically consist of ground truthing and soil sampling on prospects in dilation zones identified by interpretation of geophysical surveys.  Depending on results of work conducted in each tier a decision is made to either drop or advance the prospect to a higher or lower tier or remove it completely from the prospect hierarchy.

Technical Report Summary
   

7.2
Drilling
 

7.2.1
Overview
 
The drill database for the Project area contains 7,182 core drill holes (2,386,698 ft).  Drilling is summarized in Table 7‑1.
 
Core drilling supports mineral resource estimation. Drilling that supports each mineral resource estimate is summarized in Table 7‑2 to Table 7‑5.
 

7.2.2
Drilling Excluded for Estimation Purposes
 
Drill holes assayed at the onsite laboratory, which include most production stope holes and utility holes are not included in the resource estimation.  Any drill holes that have known spatial issues due to missing survey data are not included in the database.  Drill holes may have some incomplete survey data and still be included if they do not cause any spatial issues with the resource domains and are validated by surrounding drill holes.  Incomplete drill holes that did not reach final depth for any variety of reasons are also not included in the estimate.
 

7.2.3
Drilling Completed Since Database Close-out Date
 
Drill holes that were completed in 2021 that were not used to support mineral resource estimates were not included because they did not have assay data returned before the database close out dates.  A total of 19 exploration holes from Raven, nine exploration holes from Elmira and 15 exploration holes from Kensington were not included in the mineral resource estimation support
 
The QP reviewed the available information on the omitted drilling to determine what impact there could be to the block model and geological and grade interpretations.
 
Drilling at Kensington and Elmira was conducted to potentially support confidence category upgrades from inferred to indicated.  All drill holes appear to have intersected the mineralized zone, and should provide support for confidence category upgrades within the drilled area.
 
Drilling at Raven was designed to extend the known mineralization in the upper Raven area and test the Jennifer target.  The drilling in the upper Raven area appears to have mixed success, with some drill holes not intercepting mineralization or veins.  In the Jennifer area, drill results were encouraging and will be used to support an initial mineral resource estimate during 2022.
 

7.2.4
Drill Methods
 
Much of the drilling prior to 2013 was performed by Connors Drilling of Montrose, Colorado.  Timberline Drilling Inc. of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho is the current drilling contractor and responsible for the majority of the holes drilled from 2013 to date.  Swick Drilling completed some of the drilling from January 2017 to July 2017.  Where known, drill rigs used by Timberline included  Atlas Copco U8 class drills for underground and Boart Longyear LF70 or Sandvik DE140 class for surface drilling. Equipment used by prior contractors is not recorded.

Core sizes included BQ (1.44 inch (36.5 mm) core diameter), NQ (1.875 inch (47.6 mm)), and HQ (2.5 inch (63.5 mm)).
 

7.2.5
Logging
 
Core logging is conducted by contract geologist through Geotemps working year-round two weeks on two weeks off rotations.  No core is oriented.
 
Core loggers visually identify lithological intercepts, alteration type and intensity, mineralization type and concentration, vein composition, style, density, and structural type and intensity.  Maximum and minimum intercept angles are collected for all planar features.  Geotechnical data collection is discussed in Chapter 7.4.
 
Core is photographed before sampling but after logging.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 7-15

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Sampling is required for all projected intercepts and is broken out by mineralized zone lithology.  Samples are collected from the wall rock on either side of the intercept to capture the alteration halo.
 

7.2.6
Recovery
 
Core recovery is generally high because of the competent nature of the Jualin Diorite.  Approximately 95% of drilled intervals have core recovery >95%.  Poor recovery (<50%) occurs in approximately 1% of intervals and is generally localized to shear zones.
 

7.2.7
Collar Surveys
 
Surface collar surveys are taken using an RTK global positioning system (GPS) SPS 985 instrument.  Underground surveys are recorded using a Trimble SPS 930.  Before the widespread adoption of GPS for collar surveying, some collar shots were taken by triangulating off the AK NAD 27 SP Z21 grid topographical map.
 

7.2.8
Down Hole Surveys
 
Downhole surveying prior to 1989 was conducted using Sperry Sun-type downhole survey instruments.  Drill holes from 1989 to 2010 were surveyed with Fotobor or Reflex Maxibor downhole survey instruments.  Between 2010 and 2018, downhole surveys were collected using Reflex Gyro or Reflex Maxibor downhole survey instruments.  From 2018 to 2021, downhole surveys were collected using Reflex Gyro, Axis Champ, and most recently IDS Gyromaster downhole survey instruments, and results were quality checked by Coeur geologists.
 

7.2.9
Comment on Material Results and Interpretation
 
Drilling from underground drill stations is oriented to intersect the vein systems at as steep an angle as possible (refer to drill sections in this Chapter).  Typically, drilled intercepts are longer than the true width.
 
Drilling and surveying were conducted in accordance with industry standard practices at the time and provide suitable coverage of the mineralization.  The collar and downhole survey methods used provide reliable sample locations.  Logging procedures provide consistency in descriptions.
 
In the opinion of the QP, the quantity and quality of existing drilling data are sufficient for resource estimation at Kensington.
 
Factors that may impact the accuracy and reliability of drill results, such as sample location and sample recovery, have been adequately addressed through the use of appropriate surveying methodologies and careful drilling practices to ensure maximum recoveries.

7.3
Hydrogeology
 

7.3.1
Sampling Methods and Laboratory Determinations
 
In 2017 a hydrogeological field investigation was completed for the Jualin deposit by Golder Associates Inc. (Golder).  Golder is independent of Coeur.  The work involved in situ well response testing and installation of vibrating wire piezometers on nine core holes as well as long-term discharge tests and groundwater quality sample collection.  This work helped Coeur understand expected water flow rates in the Jualin area as mining progressed.
 
Two holes were drilled in the Elmira area and packer instruments installed to collect hydrological data.  Flow testing and shut-in testing were completed.  Holes were grouted once testing was completed.  Two additional holes farther to the north will also be drilled and tested using the same procedures.
 
There are no active efforts to dewater the workings.  A dewatering well was attempted in Jualin with the goal of getting below the lowest planned development; however, a known major fault was encountered at 400 ft and the hole was lost.  A pump was installed but by then the workings were below the pump and the effect was minimal.  The well has since been abandoned.
 

7.3.2
Comment on Results
 
The water capture and treatment requirements are well understood, and water is monitored and treated to support permit requirements.  Current water data are sufficient to support the life-of-mine (LOM) plan.  Additional information on water as it relates to the mining method is provided in Chapter 13.2.
 

7.4
Geotechnical
 
Core recovery and rock quality designation (RQD) measurements are collected when the core is logged.  Core recovery is the percentage of recovered core in a core run (core block to core block) and is measured for every core run.  RQDs are taken by measuring and summing all core pieces greater than 0.33 ft (two times core diameter) in a run to calculate percent RQD.
 

7.4.1
Sampling Methods and Laboratory Determinations
 
Mine Fill Services, Inc. issued a report in early 2008 that outlined the suitability of the Kensington tailings for paste fill.  Particle size distribution, paste rheology, and unconfined compressive strength of cured paste were determined.  All tests showed that Kensington tailings were favorable for paste production.
 
There are currently no active geotechnical monitoring sites in place.  The Raven hanging wall was monitored with extensometers while the shrinkage stopes were being mined.  Monitoring was stopped after the stopes were backfilled with paste.  No ground falls have occurred since production began and as such there is no register for rock events in place at this time.
 

7.4.2
Comment on Results
 
A combination of historical and current geotechnical data, together with mining experience, is used in the operations.  The data are suitable for use in mine planning.  Additional information is provided in Chapter 13.1.

SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES, AND SECURITY
 

8.1
Sampling Methods
 

8.1.1
Muck
 
Where necessary, muck samples are taken to guide mining activity and route muck haulage to appropriate stockpiles.  These samples are taken after the muck piles are washed down.  Three imaginary lines are drawn over the muck pile; one sample is gathered from each line. An ore control geologist walks each line while grabbing fist-sized pieces of muck representative of the portions of ore to waste in the pile. The pieces are put in a medium canvas bag until the geologist collects approximately 22 lb of material. The process is repeated on the remaining two lines for a total of three samples.
 

8.1.2
Channel
 
Channel sampling has been conducted since 2014.  Depending on location in the mine, one to three horizontal rows of 1-ft tall boxes are painted on the face from rib to rib.  Each box is drawn to respect geologic boundaries and variations in mineralization, and each box marks the boundaries of a separate channel sample.  Samples are taken by the mine geologist across the width of each box.  Each sample is placed in a canvas bag with a unique sample number correlated to the box number.  Box numbers are painted in each box before a face photo is taken.  After the sample is assayed and passed internal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols, grades are recorded on the face photos.
 

8.1.3
Core
 
The basic procedure and protocol for taking surface and underground drill core samples has remained consistent throughout the Coeur and pre-Coeur drill programs. In 2012, core logging changed from manual data recording on paper to recording data directly into a digital database.
 
Sample intervals are 1–5 ft long and based on the distribution of vein density, vein type, mineralization, and any other geological feature needing assay definition.
 
Whole core samples are taken from production drill holes (infill and stope holes).  Stope definition holes are sampled top to bottom unless otherwise directed by mine geology.  Kensington and Raven infill definition holes are only sampled where geologically warranted.
 
Since June 2013, all exploration drill core has been cut with a saw, retaining half for reference.  Half-core samples are taken from all exploration drill holes, where geologically warranted.

8.2
Sample Security Methods
 
Coeur technicians handled the transfer of samples to the Kensington laboratory and external laboratories by following chain-of-custody procedures.  Exploration and definition drill samples were shipped off-site in shipping containers in canvas bags shrink-wrapped to pallets.  Once the container was full, it was closed with a chain-of-custody seal and released with shipping paperwork to the Kensington warehouse to load on the barge to Juneau.
 
Shipments consisted of two to three pallets of canvas bags placed into polyester super-sacks with zip-tie chain-of-custody seals securing the sacks closed.  A shipping notification was submitted to the Kensington warehouse crew to facilitate the transfer of the container to Juneau via the barge.  Once at the yard in Juneau, the pallets were transported by Lynden Trucking to the Acme Juneau laboratory where they were received by Acme personnel.  Acme’s chain-of-custody is initiated once the laboratory receives the samples.
 
Standard reference materials (standards), coarse rejects, and returned pulps are kept in locations with restricted access.
 
Half-core samples are stored within their original boxes at a designated area on the mine site. Sampled core is released to the geotechnician assistants for cutting at the core cutting shed.
 
Authorized Coeur personnel have access to the preparation and analytical laboratory job status websites to track jobs and samples as they move to, within, and from a given laboratory.
 

8.3
Density Determinations
 
The independent Inspectorate laboratory located in Reno, NV completed density measurements for the 2010 drilling program, which provided 1,600 analyses from the Kensington deposit. This data was used in the current resource model.
 
Prior to 2020, density was applied using the data collected in 2010.  From 2020 onward samples of the mineralized domains that were flagged for density analysis were analyzed at the independent laboratory Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (Bureau Veritas) by gas pycnometer analysis.  Prior to starting this program in 2020, a sensitivity study was completed comparing results from the classic submersion method and gas pycnometer which showed that the gas pycnometer analysis returned results within acceptable limits given the competent nature of the rock.  As of December 1, 2021, the density database includes the following sample counts: 1,371 from the Elmira complex, 393 from Eureka, 220 from Jualin, 2,243 from Kensington (includes 2010 samples), and 196 from Raven.

Analysis
 
Gold was assayed using the following methods:
 
30 g fire assay with gravimetric finish;
 
30 g fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish;
 
Over-limit assays (>0.292 oz/st Au) were by fire assay with a gravimetric finish (FA530).  Over-limit assays >1 oz/st were metallic screen determinations (method code FS632) until August 2018 when the practice was discontinued after evaluating the difference in accuracy between metallic screen data against traditional fire assay.  Metallic screen assays require a separate sample processed from reject material before assaying.

8.7
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
 
Historically, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures consisted of routine check assays of original pulps, check assays of duplicate pulps from coarse rejects and use of geochemical blanks to determine contamination during sample preparation. Metallic-screen analysis was performed prior to August 2018 to check for coarse gold.
 
Current procedures include insertion of custom certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks, and duplicates (field, crush, pulp, and analytical).  Field duplicates are taken only for exploration core.  Insertion rates are as follows:
 
Insertion rates of 5% for standards, 5% for blanks and 2.5% for duplicates.
 
From 2010–2021 standards were sourced from Rocklabs, Inc., Barry Smee, Canadian Resource Laboratories, Ltd., and Ore Research & Exploration (OREAS).  Custom CRMs produced by ORE Research & Exploration were implemented in May 2020.  Standards assaying within ±3 standard deviations of the mean were considered to be acceptable.  Standard results outside of these limits were considered to be failures and were re-assayed according to company protocols and procedures.  The mean and standard deviations as provided in the certificate for each standard were used to determine acceptability criteria until December 2020.  In 2021 the primary and secondary laboratories’ internal results for each standard were used to set the mean and standard deviation for the performance gates.  The certified round robin values were used to determine performance in relation to the analytical laboratory’s level of bias.
 
Some blank material was collected from barren core from the district and some blanks were sourced from Rocklabs during early QA/QC programs.  In late 2019 blank material was sourced by an aggregate/gravel supplier AGGPro (Juneau, AK) from Washington state.  Blank samples assaying within ±5 standard deviations of the mean were considered to be acceptable.  When a blank sample failed, it was either re-assayed, or it was accepted with a comment in the database documenting the reason for its acceptance.
 
Assay duplicate results from January 2019 to June 2021 as found in the quality control audit performed by Qualitica Consulting Inc. are as follows:
 
Analytical duplicates: 94% report within ±25%;
 
Pulp duplicates: 88% report within ±25%;
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Crush Duplicates: 82% report within ±25%;
 
Field Duplicates: 30% report within ±25%.  The low reproducibility is expected given the nature of the deposit.
 
Check assays were selected at 5–10% of sample assays received monthly and were sent to an independent ISO certified secondary analytical laboratory for analysis.  From January 2019 to June 2021, check assay analysis included a total of 2,231 sample pulps.  In September 2021, a quality control audit performed by third-party consultants Qualitica Consulting Inc. showed a strong comparison with 80% of duplicate pairs falling within ±25%.
 

8.8
Database
 
Data collected are stored in an acQuire Geologic Information Management System.  The system stored drill hole data (collar location, orientation, downhole survey, assay, and documentation) mine development sample results, surface exploration results, and channel sample results.
 
Aside from geological data, the database includes information about contractor daily activities, daily drilling footages, and core logging rates.
 
Automatic checks built into acQuire flag possible errors and deny permission for the questionable data to be added to the database without authorization from the database manager.  Once data were successfully imported, all necessary QA/QC functions were performed.  After passing QA/QC checks, geologists verified data by cross-referencing drillhole/face photos and updated existing models for geologic continuity.
 
All business-critical systems are backed up once per day by a backup software specifically designed for virtual environments.  Backups are sent to a primary target that then synchronizes to a secondary target in a different building.  All data files were stored on the company's server in addition to the acQuire database.  Once drill hole data were received and QA/QC checks passed, the drill hole was locked by the designated person.  Once locked, no adjustments could be made to the drill hole data in acQuire unless permitted by the designated person by unlocking the hole.  Hard copies of drill hole logging data, assay certificates, and QA/QC checks are kept on site in filing cabinets or in boxes at the town warehouse.
 

8.9
Qualified Person’s Opinion on Sample Preparation, Security, and Analytical Procedures
 
In the opinion of the QPs, the sample preparation, analyses, and security for samples used in mineral resource estimation are acceptable, meet industry-standard practice, and are acceptable for mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation and mine planning purposes.

DATA VERIFICATION
 

9.1
Internal Data Verification
 
The Coeur drill hole database includes data from 1981 to the Report date.  The database was audited internally and externally a number of times in support of mineral resource estimates and in support of technical report filings.
 
In 2013, a detailed and systematic internal audit was initiated, with the goal of checking and verifying all data from original records.  Most of the data were successfully verified.  Some inconsistencies and errors were identified and corrected.  Unverifiable data were removed.
 
Data evaluation and verification are performed in multiple steps throughout the life of a drill hole until it is “locked down” in the database.  Drill collar surveys and downhole surveys are viewed in plan and section and checked against development workings.  Contractor shift reports are compared to actual total drill hole footages.  Core logging data and core photos are checked for completeness.  Assay data and QA/QC data are reviewed.  Data that have not been reviewed and passed QA/QC analysis do not pass the verification process.  The system is configured so when assay data are imported, the data remain with a pending status until a geologist accepts the data, preventing the usage of data that have not undergone QA/QC review.
 
Once all data are complete and have been reviewed by the responsible persons, they are reviewed by a senior geologist and signed off on by the Chief Geologist or their designate and locked to further editing.  A Drill Hole Amendment Form is required to document and approve any changes after the lockdown of the drill hole. This process ensures the security of all aspects of the drill hole database.
 
The confidence in the current drill hole database is therefore considered by the QP to be high, and the QP considers the data in the database to be adequate to support mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates.
 

9.2
External Data Verification
 
The Kensington drill hole database, including survey data, logging information, assays, and QA/QC results, has been audited by external consultants such as SRK (1997), Lynn Canal Geological Services (1999; specific to downhole survey data), Dr. Jeffrey Jaacks (2008), KPMG (2013), Dave Heberlin (2016 & 2018), and Qualitica Consulting (2021).
 
The most recent audit, completed on data collected since 2019, found no concerns with the data or QA/QC policies.  A review of the database that included reviewing lockdown comments on historic holes that are included in the resource estimation and careful review of recent drill programs focusing on survey data, appropriate lithological logging, and accurate sampling methods.  The review supported the use of the data for Mineral Resource Estimation given that:
 
No significant sample biases were identified from the QA/QC programs;
 
Sample data collected adequately reflect deposit dimensions, true widths of mineralization, and the style of the deposit;
 
External reviews of the database were completed in support of acquisitions, feasibility-level studies, and of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, producing independent assessments of the database quality. No significant problems with the database, sampling protocols, flow sheets, check analysis program, or data storage were noted.

Qualified Person’s Opinion on Data Adequacy
 
The process of data verification for the Project was performed by external consulting firms from 2007 to present, and by Coeur personnel including the QP.  The QP reviewed the appropriate reports.  The QP considers the level of verification to be reasonable and is of the opinion that no material issues would have been left unidentified from the programs undertaken.
 
The QP is of the opinion that the data verification programs for Project data adequately support the geological interpretations, the analytical and database quality, and therefore support the use of the data in mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation, and in mine planning.

The Kensington Operations have an on-site analytical laboratory that assays concentrates, in-process samples, and geological samples.  The on-site metallurgical laboratory is used for testing flotation reagents, grind analysis, and characterizing the behavior of new ores.  The laboratory is not independent.
 
There is no international standard of accreditation provided for metallurgical testing laboratories or metallurgical testing procedures.
 

10.2
Metallurgical Testwork
 

10.2.1
Historical Testwork
 
Prior to mill construction at Kensington, six different companies conducted extensive metallurgical testing, including comminution gravity separation, flotation (flash flotation, locked-cycle testing, and various reagent additions), and cyanidation of concentrates (Table 10‑1).
 
Gold in the Kensington deposit was present as calaverite (AuTe2), and in the form of free gold or microscopic, “invisible” gold.  The relationship of calaverite to pyrite was either as a rind, an inclusion, or a separate, discrete particle.  Particles ranged from 3–20 µm in size.
 
Test results were used as a guideline for plant design.  Metallurgical testing results were consistent in the recommended methods of process design, extraction, and recovery estimates.
 

10.2.2
Jualin Testwork
 
Gold in the Jualin deposit was in the form of native gold and highly liberated gold minerals, and exhibited high gold–sulfide associations.
 
In April 2017, two sets of test holes were drilled to provide composites of Jualin Vein #4 mineralization for flotation testwork using similar operating conditions to those in use in the Kensington plant flotation circuit, and gravity testwork.  Flotation results achieved good recoveries for all tests performed (>96%). Initial mass pulls were high, then tapered down to match the Kensington mill performance.

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Recovery factors estimated are based on appropriate metallurgical test work and confirmed with production data.  Recovery factors are appropriate to the mineralization types and the selected process route.
 
The LOM recovery forecast is 95.3%.
 

10.4
Metallurgical Variability
 
Metallurgical test results obtained from several testwork programs conducted during the past 20 years show low variability between several different locations with respect to gold recovery.  This low variability has been verified through the actual mill performance.
 
Tests were performed on samples that are representative of the deposit and its mineralogy.
 

10.5
Deleterious Elements
 
Based on extensive operating experience and testwork, there are no known deleterious elements that could have a significant adverse effect on the mine economics.
 

10.6
Qualified Person’s Opinion on Data Adequacy
 
Industry-standard studies were performed as part of process development and initial plant designs.  Subsequent production experience and focused investigations, as well as marketing requirements, have guided mill process improvements and changes.
 
Testwork programs, both internal and external, continue to be performed to support current operations and potential improvements.
 
The QP reviewed the information compiled by Coeur, as summarized in this Chapter, and reviewed reconciliation data available to verify the information used in the LOM plan.
 
Based on these checks, in the opinion of the QP, the metallurgical testwork results and production data support the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves and can be used in the economic analysis.

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
 

11.1
Introduction
 
Mineral resources were estimated for the Kensington, Eureka, Raven, Jualin, and Elmira deposits/veins.  Database closeout dates for the estimates are:
 
Kensington: November 1, 2021;
 
Eureka: October 12, 2021;
 
Raven: October 16, 2021;
 
Jualin: October 17, 2021;
 
Elmira: December 1, 2021.
 
Examples of the models for each area are provided in Figure 11‑1 to Figure 11‑6.  While the Eureka deposit is estimated separately from the Kensington deposit due to its small size and close proximity to Kensington, it is reported with the Kensington estimate.
 

11.2
Exploratory Data Analysis
 
All deposits were subject to exploratory data analysis methods, which could include histograms, cumulative probability plots, box and whisker plots, and contact analysis.
 
Statistics were compiled and compared for raw drill hole data, length weighted drill holes, composites, declustered composites, and capped declustered composites to ensure that the grade distribution and true mean of the system were conserved through the estimation process.  The coefficient of variation was analyzed to determine if the domaining produced sufficient stationarity for the estimate.
 

11.3
Geological Models
 
Mineralization is primarily hosted in north-trending and east-dipping structures and is hosted by mesothermal quartz veins and vein arrays.  The Kensington mineralization is primarily hosted by vein arrays with some discontinuous discrete quartz veins.  Jualin, Elmira, and Raven are narrow vein deposits hosted by large discrete quartz veins.
 
The Kensington resource model currently contains a total of 36 estimation domains.  The Eureka resource model has two estimation domains.  The Raven resource model has five estimation domains.  The Jualin resource model has four estimation domains.  The Elmira resource model has three estimation domains.  Each estimation domain is based on lithology and mineralization. 
 
Three-dimensional (3D) models of each estimation domain were created using Leapfrog Geo geological modeling software which uses implicit modeling to define geological shapes.  This method requires significant diligence in geologic investigation before the procedure can be completed.

Technical Report Summary
   
Estimation domains that inform Elmira, Raven, and Jualin resource estimates are generated by selecting quartz vein intercepts regardless of the grade.  Each lithological intercept is visually checked by reviewing photos of the drill core.  Boundaries of each domain are snapped as close to the lithological breaks as possible.
 

11.4
Density Assignment
 
Density determinations discussed in Chapter 8.3 were used in interpolation.  Each domain and the diorite host rock have a density factor.  Densities are then applied in the model using a script during the post-processing phase.  The script assigns each block the density of the estimation domain the block is in.  If the block is outside of an estimation domain, the block is assigned the density determined for the diorite host rock.
 

11.5
Grade Capping/Outlier Restrictions
 
Due to variability of grade and outliers in the composite samples, grade capping is implemented. Grade capping reduces grade smearing and prevents the resource model from locally overestimating due to high-grade samples.  Caps were determined by a study of the exploratory data analysis, general statistics, histograms, log normal probability plots and reconciliation data:
 
Kensington:  composites samples were capped at values ranging from 1.5–6.0 oz/st Au, depending on the statistics of the zone groups.  Eureka was capped at 0.7–1.2 oz/st Au, depending on statistic of each domain.
 
Raven:  composite samples were capped at values ranging from 0.3–3.0 oz/st Au, depending on the statistics of each estimation domain.
 
Jualin:  composite samples were capped at values ranging from 1.0–3.5 oz/st Au, depending on the statistics of each estimation domain.
 
Elmira:  composite samples were capped ats ranging from 0.5–1.0 oz/st Au, depending on the statistics of each estimation domain.
 

11.6
Composites
 
For the Kensington and Eureka resource models, drill data were composited at 5 ft down-the-hole intervals by estimation domain using the run-length method.  The 5 ft interval was selected because it was the largest sample length allowed.  This helps prevent sample splitting during compositing.
 
When compositing for Elmira, Raven, and Jualin, full vein width composites were created using the run-length method to accurately represent the full vein grade.  All samples that fall within the boundaries of a specified domain will be broken on the domain contact and composited into a single sample as specified by the boundaries of the estimation domain.

Technical Report Summary
   

11.7
Variography
 
Due to the highly variable nature of the deposits, variograms were produced using normal scores transform then back-transformed to produce the final variogram.
 
For the Kensington and Eureka deposits, variograms were calculated for separate groupings of domains or zones where individual domains had insufficient number of samples to construct a valid variogram model.  The resulting variogram for each zone was applied during estimation for all domains within each zone.
 
Downhole variograms for the narrow vein deposits at Elmira, Jualin, and Raven were not possible due to the use of single, vein-width composites.  The nugget of these deposits was set using the major, semi-major variograms and knowledge of the deposit.
 

11.8
Estimation/Interpolation Methods
 
The Kensington parent block size was 10 x 10 x 10 ft and was sub-blocked down to 1 x 5 x 5 ft at domain boundaries, as needed.  Estimation was done in the parent blocks, therefore the sub-blocks, which lay within the same parent block, had the same grade.  The sub-block size was chosen to provide resolution along domain boundaries, as many of the domains have high angle dips.  Gold grades were estimated into blocks using ordinary kriging (OK) on the 5 ft composite grades.  Blocks within each domain were estimated using only composites from within that domain.  The primary search ellipse was a product of variography and reconciliation.  Each zone group had different dimensions based on results from the respective variogram models.  The major axis was oriented roughly north–south, congruent with the average vein strike orientation.  The semi-major axis dipped at -55º.  Strike and dip were varied for each zone group depending on domain and vein orientations.  The minimum and maximum samples were set to six and 12, respectively.  The maximum number of samples per drill hole is set to 2 thus requiring a minimum of two drill holes to complete the estimation.
 
Eureka is estimated using inverse distance weighting to the second power (ID2).  This was done due to the lack of sample data to support a robust variogram.  In addition, during sensitivity studies, it was found that OK created an overly smooth estimate that did not respect the composite grades.  A parent block size of 25 x 25 x 25 ft was sub-blocked to 5 x 5 x 0.1 ft at domain boundaries, as needed.  A search ellipse of 300 x 200 x 100 ft was used to include sufficient samples for the estimation and to control local high-grade samples.  The search ellipse used an anisotropic bearing and dip to better represent undulations in the estimation domains.  The plunge of the ellipse was set at 36º to represent the visual trends in composite grades of the estimation domains.  The minimum and maximum number of samples were set to three and nine respectively.  The maximum number of samples per drill hole was set to two, thus requiring a minimum of two drill holes to complete the estimation.
 
Elmira, Jualin, and Raven, being narrow vein deposits using single vein-width composites, required a seam model (2D) to better represent each of the estimation domains.  The seam model was rotated to the same strike and dip of the deposit and used a single block to fill the width of each domain.  These deposits were estimated using ID2.  The method does not have the tendency to smooth grade across blocks, but rather respects grade variability constrained within parent blocks which prevents the erroneous spreading of metal content.  Blocks within each domain were estimated using only composites from within that domain.  Each of these deposits also used an over-exaggerated minor axis for the search ellipse.  Its purpose was to reduce artifacts in an estimation domain that has undulatory characteristics.

Technical Report Summary
   
The Elmira estimate used a parent block size of 25 x 25 x 25 ft to help constrain the grade from erroneously spreading grades, while also giving a greater resolution.  Parent blocks were sub-blocked to 5 x 5 x 0.5 ft where needed.  A search ellipse of 600 x 300 x 1000 ft was used.  The search ellipse used an anisotropic bearing and dip to better represent undulations in the estimation domains.  The plunge of the ellipse was set at 10º to represent the visual trends in composite grade of the estimation domains and supported by the variogram.  The minimum and maximum samples were set to three and nine.
 
Estimation for the Jualin zone used a parent block size of parent block size of 25 x 25 x 25 ft for Vein 4 to help constrain the grade from erroneously spreading grades, while also giving a greater resolution.  The other domains in the deposit used parent blocks of 50 x 50 ft.  Parent blocks were sub-blocked to 5 x 5 x 0.1 ft where needed.  A search ellipse of 300 x 150 x 1000 ft was used.  The search ellipse for Vein 4 had a bearing of 340º, a plunge of -20º and a dip of -50º.  The search ellipse for Vein 2 had a bearing of 320º, a plunge of -15º and a dip of -55º.  The minimum and maximum samples were set to three and nine.
 
The Raven estimate used a parent block size of parent block size of 25 x 25 x 25 ft to help constrain estimates from erroneously spreading metal content while also giving a greater resolution.  The parent blocks were sub-blocked to 5 x 5 x 0.1 ft where needed.  A search ellipse of 300 x 150 x 1,000 ft was used.  The search ellipse used an anisotropic bearing and dip to better represent undulations in the estimation domains.  The plunge of the ellipse was set at 60º to represent the visual trends in composite grade of the estimation domains.  The minimum and maximum samples were set to three and 12.

Confidence Classification of Mineral Resource Estimate
 

11.10.1
Mineral Resource Confidence Classification
 
Mineral resources at Kensington and Eureka are classified as follows:
 
Measured:  average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is <50 ft, and the block estimation uses two or more drill holes and six or more samples;
 
Indicated:  average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is <75 ft, and the block estimation uses two or more drill holes and three or more samples;
 
Inferred:  average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is ≤150 ft, the block estimation uses two or more drill holes and two or more samples;
 
Unclassified: all other blocks.
 
Mineral resources at Raven are classified as follows:
 
Measured:  average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is ≤50 ft, the block estimation uses two or more drill holes and uses six or more samples;
 
Indicated:  average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is ≤75 ft, and the block estimation uses one or more drill holes and two or more samples;
 
Inferred: average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is ≤150 ft and uses one or more drill holes;
 
Unclassified: all other blocks.
 
The estimation domain Vein 2 at Jualin is classified as:
 
Indicated: average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is ≤100 ft and the block estimation uses two or more samples;
 
Inferred: average distance from an estimated block to the composites used is ≤150 ft and the block estimation uses two or more samples;
 
Unclassified: all other blocks.
 
For the estimation domain Vein 4 at Jualin, the entire domain is considered to be indicated.  This is because of the consistent geology of the discrete vein.  In addition, a large amount of production and reconciliation data have been collected giving a high confidence in this domain.
 
Mineral resources at Elmira are classified as follows:
 
Measured: average distance from an estimated block to composited used is ≤ 50 ft and uses six or more samples;
 
Indicated: average distance from an estimated block to composites used is ≤ 100 ft and uses four or more samples;
 
Inferred: average distance from an estimated block to composites used is ≤ 200 ft and uses two or more samples;
 
Unclassified: all other blocks.
 
For all deposits, any block that falls within the crown pillar or within 200 ft of surface topography, are unclassified as “these blocks will not be mined”.

11.10.2
Uncertainties Considered During Confidence Classification
 
Following the drill spacing analysis that classified the mineral resource estimates into the measured, indicated and inferred confidence categories, uncertainties regarding sampling and drilling methods, data processing and handling, geological modelling, and estimation were incorporated into the classifications assigned.  The areas with the most uncertainty were assigned to the inferred category, and the areas with fewest uncertainties were classified as measured.
 

11.11
Reasonable Prospects of Economic Extraction
 

11.11.1
Input Assumptions
 
For each resource estimate, an initial assessment was completed that assessed likely infrastructure, mining, and process plant requirements; mining methods; process recoveries and throughputs; environmental, permitting and social considerations relating to the proposed mining and processing methods, and proposed waste disposal, and technical and economic considerations in support of an assessment of reasonable prospects of economic extraction.
 
Mineral resources were confined within conceptual mineable shapes that used the assumptions in Table 11‑1.  The estimate assumed that the preferred mining method will be longhole stoping, and that the minimum mining width was 5 ft.
 

11.11.2
Commodity Price
 
Commodity prices used in resource estimation are based on long-term analyst and bank forecasts, supplemented with research by Coeur’s internal specialists.  An explanation of the derivation of the commodity prices is provided in Chapter 16.  The estimated timeframe used for the price forecasts is the three-year LOM that supports the mineral reserve estimates.
 

11.11.3
Cut-off
 
The mineral resources are reported using variable gold cut-off grades that range from 0.116–0.164 oz/t Au.  The cut-off grades for Kensington, Eureka, Raven, and Elmira were calculated as follows:
 
 
The individual values and associated units for the above equation were reported in Table 11‑1.
 
The Jualin cut-off grade was calculated as above but with a 5% deduction taken per the royalty agreement with Hyak Mining.

QP Statement
 
The QP is of the opinion that any issues that arise in relation to relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospect of economic extraction can be resolved with further work.  The mineral resource estimates are performed for deposits that are in a well-documented geological setting.  Coeur is very familiar with the economic parameters required for successful operations in the Kensington area; and Coeur has a history of being able to obtain and maintain permits, social license, and meet environmental standards.  There is sufficient time in the three-year timeframe considered for the commodity price forecast for Coeur to address any issues that may arise, or perform appropriate additional drilling, testwork, and engineering studies to mitigate identified issues with the estimates.
 

11.12
Mineral Resource Statement
 
Mineral resources are reported using the mineral resource definitions set out in SK1300, and are reported exclusive of those mineral resources converted to mineral reserves.  The reference point for the estimate is in situ.
 
All models were depleted through 2021.  Planned mining shapes were used for the month of December as the depletion was estimated on December 7, 2021.
 
Measured and indicated mineral resources are summarized in Table 11‑2 and inferred mineral resources in Table 11‑3.  The Qualified Person for the estimate is Ms. Rae Keim, P.Geo., a Coeur Alaska employee.

MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATES
 

12.1
Introduction
 
Mineral reserves were converted from measured and indicated mineral resources.  Inferred mineral resources were set to waste.
 
The mine plans assume underground mining using longhole open stoping, trackless equipment and combination of cemented rock fill (CRF), waste, and paste backfill.  Target mining rates are capped at approximately 2,000 tons per day, which is the permitted capacity limit.
 

12.2
Development of Mining Case
 
The mineral reserve estimate is based on the following inputs and considerations:
 
Mineral resource block model estimating tonnage and gold grade;
 
Cut-off grade calculations;
 
Stope and development designs;
 
Geotechnical and hydrogeological information;
 
Depletion from previous mining;
 
Consideration of other modifying factors.
 
Maptek Vulcan mine planning software was used to for the creation of the mining shapes and Deswik mine planning software was used for the interrogation of the mining shapes against the block model.
 
The surveyed “as-built” mining excavations were depleted from the designed solids and the resource block model.
 
Mining, geotechnical, and hydrological factors were considered in the estimation of the mineral reserves.
 

12.3
Designs
 
Mining excavations (stopes and ore development) were designed to include mineralization above the cut-off grade.  These excavations were then assessed for economic viability.  In addition to the mining cut-off grade, an incremental cut-off grade (excluding the mining cost) was calculated to classify mineralization mined as a result of essential development to access higher-grade mining areas.  Mineralization above this cut-off grade will add value, and is therefore, included as process plant feed.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Kensington Gold Operations

Technical Report Summary
   

12.4
Input Assumptions
 
Estimates of development rate are based on measured advance rates in Kensington, Raven, Jualin, and Elmira and any expected variation from manpower or equipment considerations.  Stope production rates are based on measured values of production since the start of operations.
 
Transverse stoping is the main extraction method used in the Main Kensington center area.  Stope outlines are created on 40 ft centers using the standard level spacing (75 ft in Kensington, 35–50 ft in Raven, 35 ft in Jualin, and 60 ft in Elmira) and the reserve model.  Longitudinal stope designs were used in the fringe regions of Zone 10, much of Zones 12, 30, 35, and 50, much of Elmira, and all of Raven area and represent a majority of the tons in the LOM plan.  These areas of longitudinal stoping are too narrow (>30 ft) to convert to transverse stoping, based on the requisite infrastructure required.  Together with the conventional transverse and longitudinal stopes, there are also some blind back stopes, depending on the reserve model and stoping horizon.
 

12.5
Ore Loss and Dilution
 
Recovery and dilution percentages along with dilution grade were derived from stope reconciliation data from 2012–2020 for Kensington, Raven, and Jualin.  Kensington mining performance has been applied to Elmira for planning and reserve purposes and will be updated as Elmira moves through production.  Reserve estimates and mine plans include dilution and recovery as shown in Table 12‑1.
 
Unintentional mining of paste backfill, or CRF has not been excessive to date, though instances of sloughing of material during, and post, blast have been observed in secondary stopes, adding 1–3% additional waste dilution in a few select stopes.
 
Beginning in 2020 dilution grades were calculated using reconciliation data instead of relying on the original dilution grade of 0.063 oz/st that was calculated by a third-party consultant at the beginning of the Project.  Also beginning in 2020, a dilution grade was applied to stopes in the Raven and Jualin using reconciliation data instead of assuming 0.0 oz/st due to minimal or no mineralization extending past the vein.
 

12.6
Cut-off Grades
 
Cut-off grades are determined through historical costing for Kensington, Raven and Jualin.  Cut-offs range from 0.142–0.201 oz/st.  The cut-off includes consideration of concentrate and shipping costs, mining costs, crushing and process costs, general and administrative (G&A) costs, gold recovery and gold payability (Table 12‑2).

Some blocks are classed as incremental material, which does not include the G&A or mining costs, as those costs are incurred regardless of what the resource classification may be.  This material must be removed from the mine and its destination,  the waste pile or low-grade stockpile, is determined by the requirement that it carries only the mining and refining costs.  This material is only processed when mill tonnage needs to be sustained, but where it does not offset other above cut-off grade material.

Technical Report Summary
   

12.7
Commodity Price
 
The gold price used in mineral reserve estimation is based on analysis of three-year rolling averages, long-term consensus pricing, and benchmarks to pricing used by industry peers over the past year.  The estimated timeframe used is the three-year LOM that supports the mineral reserves estimates.  The gold price forecast for the mineral resource estimate is US$1,400/oz. The QP reviewed the forecast as outlined in Chapter 16.
 

12.8
Mineral Reserve Statement
 
Mineral reserves were classified using the mineral reserve definitions set out in SK1300.  The reference point for the mineral reserve estimate is the point of delivery to the process plant.  Mineral reserves are reported in Table 12‑3.
 
The Qualified Person for the estimate is Mr. Peter Haarala, RM SME, a Coeur employee.
 

12.9
Uncertainties (Factors) That May Affect the Mineral Reserve Estimate
 
Operating costs:  higher or lower operating costs than those assumed could also affect the mineral reserve estimates.  While the trend over 2014–2020 showed operating cost reductions at the Kensington Operations, this trend could reverse and costs could increase over the life of the Project, due to factors outside of the company’s control;
 
Dilution:  additional dilution has the effect of increasing the overall volume of material mined, hauled and processed.  This results in an increase in operating costs and could result in mineral reserve losses if broken stocks are diluted to the point where it is uneconomic to muck, haul, and process the material and the broken stocks are abandoned.  The operations have developed a number of methods to control dilution, including the installation of stope support, a flexible mine plan with the ability to limit stope wall spans, and good development practices that avoid undercutting the stope hanging wall.  To assist in these efforts, site geotechnical reviews are carried out regularly by external consultants;
 
Geotechnical: geotechnical issues could lead to additional dilution, difficulty accessing portions of the ore body, or sterilization of broken or in situ ore.  In addition to the controls discussed in the dilution section there are significant management controls in place to effectively mitigate geotechnical risks;
 
Hydrogeological:  unexpected hydrogeological conditions could cause issues with access and extraction of areas of the mineral reserve due to higher than anticipated rates of water ingress;
 
Geological and structural interpretations:  changes in the underlying geology model including changes in local interpretations of mineralization geometry and continuity of mineralized zones, changes to geological and mineralization shape and geological and grade continuity assumptions, and density and domain assignments could result in changes to the geology model upon which mineral reserve estimate is based;
 
Permitting and social license:  inability to maintain, renew, or obtain environmental and other regulatory permits, to retain mineral and surface right titles, to maintain site access, and to maintain social license to operate could result in the inability to extract some or all of the mineral reserve.

MINING METHODS
 

13.1
Introduction
 
The Kensington Operations use conventional underground equipment and mining methods.  The mine has been operating since July 2012.
 

13.2
Geotechnical Considerations
 
Geotechnical conditions underground at Kensington are excellent.  No Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) reportable ground falls have occurred at Kensington during the current phase of operation that began in 2009.  This is attributable to a stable, competent rock mass, appropriate ground support standards, and proper installation of ground support.
 
The interaction of the mining sequence on the overall stability of the hanging wall has been investigated by an outside geotechnical expert.  Minor non-reportable occurrences have taken place within open stopes where personnel are not exposed.  Regular additional evaluations by an outside geotechnical expert will be ongoing to assess any additional changes that may be necessary.
 
Raven workings have been extended, using guidance from an outside geotechnical expert, with excellent results to date.  No MSHA-reportable ground falls have been identified in Raven, and more visits by an outside geotechnical expert will allow changes as necessary while Coeur proceeds with operations in this region of the mine.
 
The existing ground support guidelines were confirmed to be appropriate for use in the Jualin deposit.  Pillars were recommended in the stoping regions to reduce potential hanging wall dilution and have been shown to be effective.  The ground support guidelines document will continue to be updated as new information and understanding of the geotechnical properties is gained.
 

13.3
Hydrogeological Considerations
 
There are few hydrogeological aspects to be considered beyond natural inflow of water to the workings within the Kensington and Raven orebodies.  This inflow is monitored, and the water is captured within the workings to be either treated, or discharged, as per Coeur’s permit requirements.  Water quality, including suspended solids and mining-introduced contaminants is measured, and the water is treated accordingly, to meet discharge limits.
 
Some water ingress is associated with regional fracture systems.  There is a measurable variance in flow within the mine which corresponds with seasonal precipitation events.  Water influx decreases with depth as fractures become tighter and fewer, and less weathering of the fractures has occurred over time.  As the up-ramp is extended, inflows of 200–300 gpm are expected while mining above the K2050 Level.
 
The Jualin deposit is near surface, with several faults and mineralized veins having surface expression.  These structures collect runoff water and, together with the historic Jualin mine workings acting as a reservoir, channel water to the areas under mining development.  An upgraded dewatering system was installed in 2020 and is expected to meet or exceed water handling requirements through the Jualin LOM.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 13-1

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Water in flow from future Elmira production is expected to be minimal in the bottom two thirds of the deposit.  No major water courses were encountered during extensive diamond drilling activities.  Diamond drill holes collared in the historic 2050 level show water inflows from the upper reaches of the Elmira deposit.
 
As mining advances and more open ground is created, mine in flows have increased.  During the freshet there may be more water in flow than currently permitted for discharge.  In this case water is impounded in mined out voids in the Raven and lower Kensington and discharged as in flows decrease and capacity is available in the water treatment plant.
 
A permit from the State of Alaska is expected in May 2022 to increase the discharge limit from 3,000 gpm to 4,500 gpm. Upgrades to the Comet Water Treatment Plant were performed in 2020 and 2021 in anticipation of the limit increase.
 

13.4
Mine Access
 
The primary access for all equipment and personnel to the Kensington, Raven, and Elmira underground mine areas is via the Kensington Portal at 964 ft. elevation, located on an upper bench adjacent to the main mill site at the base of Lion’s Head Mt.
 
There is a secondary portal at 792 ft. elevation on the east side of Lynn Canal (Comet Beach) side of the mountain, south of Haines.
 
The Jualin deposit is accessed by a -15% grade, nominal 15 x 17 ft decline collared from surface at 926 ft. elevation on an intermediate bench behind the main mill site.
 

13.5
Mining Method Selection
 
Stoping and paste backfill mining methods were selected and implemented based on the orebody location, ground conditions, and geological settings.  Mining design assumptions for each mining region are typically standardized for each area and mining method assumed.  Offsets from the ore, required infrastructure, and support are based on industry standards and best practices, modified by specific location required needs and operational requirements to safely advance development and production in each area while minimizing waste development to maximize efficiency.
 

13.5.1
Kensington
 
The Kensington deposit is mined using longitudinal longhole stoping or transverse longhole stoping.  Key metrics include:
 
Longitudinal stopes:  25 ft maximum width, strike length of <100 ft, with 80 ft as the optimum length open;
 
Transverse stopes:  40 ft width, nominal height of 75 ft, and variable lengths, from 25–150 ft along strike.
 
Both stope types are backfilled with paste.
 
When developing a level for longitudinal stoping, the drift is placed within the orebody, and follows the primary structures as much as possible to minimize waste development and allow a retreat mining approach from the farthest extent of the orebody back to the central access corridor.  Ore is extracted by driving along the orebody on two levels, drilling and blasting with 60–90 ft rings of blast holes drilled down dip, creating an open stope parallel to the strike and dip of the ore.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 13-2

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
In areas exploited using transverse stoping, access ramps (16 x 16 ft) and level development (15 x 15 ft) are driven in the footwall (above 910 level) or hanging wall (below 850 Level) of the orebody.  Development is placed such that the ramps are 200–250 ft from the orebody.  Footwall drifts, when developing for transverse stopes, are placed 100 ft from the orebody, whenever possible, with some consideration given to optimal equipment access.  When both mining methods are present on a level, then transverse stoping designs take precedence, and longitudinal work is placed, as possible, where it follows the traditional longitudinal approach.
 
Equipment used includes twin boom jumbos, load–haul–dump (LHD) vehicles, and low-profile mine haul trucks.
 
Infrastructure such as vent raises, sumps, utilities, and paste line corridors are placed, whenever possible, between the ramp and footwall and the services are then distributed throughout the level as operations progresses.
 
A cross-section showing the stope layout is provided in Figure 13‑1.
 

13.5.2
Raven
 
Upper Raven is accessed by two Alimak raises.  The primary raise (10 x 10 feet) is in the south–central portion of the orebody, and is equipped with a manway and equipment slide, and flanked by 4 x 4 ft muck passes to the north and south.  The 7 x 7 ft secondary raise, located on the north end of the orebody, is used as an escapeway.  Upper Raven is completely mined out and shrinkage stopes are backfilled with paste.  Access is still retained via the raises.
 
Lower Raven is accessed by a 12 x 12 ft nominal ramp driven from the Comet main, and currently has ventilation and escapeways from the access level at the 820 elevation down to the lower levels.  The orebody in Lower Raven is intersected approximately every 30–50 ft vertically by 12 x 12 ft mechanically-driven development drifts that are excavated off varying points on the main ramp, and by internal ramps connecting the orebody levels.  Mining equipment includes single boom jumbos, jacklegs, and LHDs.  Longitudinal stopes are blasted between levels, mucked along strike, and paste backfilled.
 
A cross-section showing the stope layout is provided in Figure 13‑2.
 

13.5.3
Jualin
 
Jualin is a high-grade, narrow, discrete vein orebody.  The main mining method is longitudinal stoping similar to lower Raven.
 
Due to a higher density of geologic structures in Jualin the stope length and therefore the hanging wall exposure is limited to 60 ft.  All stopes in Jualin are designed with a minimum 4 ft width.  One third of the designed stopes have an ore width of <4 ft. and rely on the high-grade of the narrow vein to carry the additional dilution.

Jualin is mined with conventional single and double boom jumbos, jackleg and mechanized bolting, and LHD/trucks.  Drifts dimensions are 15 x 17 ft in the ramps and level access stubs, 12 x 12 ft in the level access/infrastructure, and 10 x 10 ft in the longitudinal stope development drifts.
 
Levels are spaced every 35 ft vertically due to variable dip and are connected by a spiral ramp.  The ramp is placed between Vein 4 and Vein 2 to allow access to both veins from a single ramp.
 
Cemented rock fill (CRF) and waste are used to backfill stopes in Jualin.  At the bottom of every stoping horizon a sill prep of cable bolts and CRF is placed to allow backstopes from below without undue dilution from backfill.

13.5.4
Elmira
 
Elmira is a narrow, disseminated, vein orebody.  The main mining method will be longitudinal stoping, similar that used at upper Kensington.  A figure eight up-ramp has been started on the hanging wall side of the ore body from 900 ft. elevation with level accesses every 60 vertical ft. leading to longitudinal ore drifts.  Ore and waste passes will be available on all levels with the muck sent to the 900 level for load out to the surface by haul truck.  All levels are configured to utilize automated mining processes such as mucking and drilling.
 
All stopes are designed with a minimum width of 5 ft.  Elmira will be mined with conventional double boom jumbos, mechanized bolting, and LHD/trucks.  All stopes will be filled with paste backfill supplied from the existing Kensington paste plant.
 
A cross-section showing the stope layout is provided in Figure 13‑4.

13.6
Blasting and Explosives
 
Blasting underground is controlled from surface, using Dyno-Nobel blasting products. Most blasting is done with either packaged or bulk ANFO emulsion.  Trim and perimeter explosives are nitro based.  Kensington, Raven, and Elmira utilize a carrier mounted bulk emulsion delivery system for both development and stoping.  Jualin uses hand loaded stick emulsion for development and stopes due to narrow drifts limiting powder truck access.  All stoping utilizes electronic detonators, development rounds use non-electric detonators for timing and are initiated with electronic detonators.
 

13.7
Underground Sampling and Production Monitoring
 
Every ore development round is visited after blasting and the material routed as ore or waste by the Mine Geologist.  During this inspection the face advance distance is recorded, and a description of the ore body made.  Transverse headings are not sampled after blast as they receive vertical stope drill holes for modeling purposes.  Longitudinal headings are sampled after every face advance as described in Chapter 8.1.2.  Muck samples are taken on an as needed basis to help understand grade as described in Chapter 8.1.1.  All production headings are mapped every 100-200 ft of advance.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Technical Report Summary
   

13.8
Production Schedule
 
The mine production schedule is based on a maximum mill throughput rate of 2,000 st per day. Coeur Alaska typically processes between 1,750–1,950 st/day with a waste stream of about 10% rejected as a coarse pebble reject, which is then passed through an optical sorter to extract additional ore-grade material for re-feed back into the mill.  Deswik planning software is used for the detailed scheduling.  Rolling three-month plans are completed every month and updated forecasts for end of year are completed every quarter.  The LOM planned development and production schedule is provided in Table 13‑1.
 

13.9
Backfill
 
Backfill is a combination of cemented paste fill, CRF, and straight waste fill.  For cemented paste fill, as much as 100% of the tailings from the mill are sent back underground via pipe to the paste plant located at the 910 elevation, where the tailings are mixed with a 1–6% slag/cement binder mix and pumped to open stopes.  Binder percentages vary depending on if mine personnel will need to work adjacent to filled stopes. Kensington, Raven, and Elmira use paste backfill and Jualin uses a combination of CRF and waste.
 

13.10
Ventilation
 
Primary ventilation in the Kensington and Raven mine areas is controlled by two 500 HP fans located in the Comet drift, which pull air from the Kensington Portal straight through the mountain and exhaust out the Comet side.  Two 200 HP booster fans pull a portion of this fresh air up and down the ramps that then supply air to the remainder of the existing workings.  Various 150, 125, 75, and 30 HP fans then direct air flow into each individual level, and active mining headings on those levels through hard ventilation ducting and flexible vent bag ducting.  The main and booster fans are powered by variable frequency drives (VFD) which allow the air volumes to be finely adjusted.
 
In 2021 one of the two main fans was switched out with a newly-built exact replacement unit as a result of approaching the recommended service life.  The second main fan will be switched out in Q1 2022 with a newly rebuilt exact replacement that is currently on site awaiting installation.
 
Elmira shares the backbone of the Kensington ventilation system.  Two 20 HP high volume low pressure fans draw a split of air from the Kensington down-ramp and ventilate 2,000 ft of lateral development exhausting back into the Kensington airflow at the main underground shop.  As mining progresses and ventilation needs increase, the smaller fans will be replaced by a 200 HP booster fan.
 
Primary ventilation of the Jualin mine area is accomplished with a single 200 HP bulkhead mounted fan located in the J0625 level which pulls air in from the Jualin Portal, down to the bottom of the decline and up a series of vent/escape raises, exhausting to surface through a 10 ft. diameter bored raise.  Various 150, 125, 75, and 30 HP fans then direct air flow into each individual level, and active mining headings on those levels through hard ventilation ducting and flexible vent bag ducting.

RECOVERY METHODS
 

14.1
Process Method Selection
 
The process plant design was based on a combination of metallurgical testwork, study designs and industry standard practices, together with debottlenecking and optimization activities once the mill was operational.  The design is conventional to the gold industry and has no novel parameters.
 

14.2
Flowsheet
 
A summary process flowsheet is included as Figure 14‑1.
 

14.3
Plant Design
 
The Kensington Operations use a flotation mill to recover gold from sulfide-bearing rock.  Crushing and milling facilities are located directly south of the Jualin Portal.  On the portal bench, ore is segregated by grade and blended before being fed to the two stage, closed-circuit crushing plant.  Once crushed, ore is fed to a ball mill and then to a flotation circuit.  The initial design for the recovery process was a standard rougher/scavenger, cleaner re-cleaner configuration.  However, the flotation circuit was modified in 2012 to maximize recovery.
 
Prior to 2012, a flash flotation cell and regrind mill were in use.  Due to the high density coming from the primary ball mill, the flash flotation cell did not perform well and experienced excessive wear.  It was taken offline and rougher cell 1 was utilized as a flash flotation cell.  Reagents that were originally fed into the conditioning tank were added further down the flotation train to accommodate this change.  The regrind mill was taken down due to a hole in the outer shell.  While it was down, an increase in overall recovery occurred.  Based on this observation, the decision was made to keep the ball mill down indefinitely. The final product is a gold concentrate.
 
Mill throughput was increased from a previous maximum of 69 st/hr in 2012 to 84 st/hr.  This was achieved by splitting flows between paste plant and tailings pond, also by continuous removal of less enriched, harder, granitic rock pebbles that used to be recycled back to the ball mill feed.  This system allows the mill to run at peak capacity of 160% above design, averaging 149% (original design capacity of 1,250 st/d, or 52 st/hr).  Granitic rock pebbles are rejected using an X-ray transmission (XRT) ore-sorting technology, with the positively-sorted material fed back into the mill and processed as ore.

14.3.1
Ore Sorting
 
In late September 2015, Coeur Alaska commissioned a TOMRA COM Tertiary XRT 1200 ore sorter.  This device uses XRT technology that identifies pockets of high-density minerals (pyrite in this case) on, or in the bulk of, the lower-density quartz and diorite being fed to it across the sorter conveyor belt.  The software identifies, targets, and tracks the rocks containing the selected mineral, then uses one or more jets of air to alter an individual rock’s trajectory at the discharge of the sorter’s conveyor belt.  Waste goes onto a conveyor belt to be stockpiled separately and the ore onto another conveyor belt to be recycled back to the process.  Ore pebbles are fed back through the milling process at an average grade of 0.247 oz/st Au (24% higher than LOM feed grade).  During normal operation, the average processing rate is 52 st/hr.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 14-2

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Through 2021, 240,485 tons of pebbles were sorted, yielding 18,492 tons of ore containing 4,216 ounces of gold.
 
Test work is in progress to determine the feasibility of sorting development grade ore (~0.5 oz/st Au) and waste rock.  Waste rejected from the sorter is shipped offsite for use as fill material for Tideline.
 

14.3.2
Crushing
 
After blending based on grade, ore is fed to the crushing plant using a vibratory feeder.  First stage crushing is achieved by using a jaw crusher to reduce the ore size to minus 4 inches.  The primary crusher product is fed to a vibrating double deck screen.  The lower screen deck separates material at a mixture of 1 inch and 1.5-inch openings.  This allows higher throughput by reducing circulating load in the crushing circuit.  The oversize screen product is conveyed to a cone crusher, set at 0.75 inch.  The secondary crusher product returns to the screen deck.  The undersize screen product is fed to the mill.  Mill feed is stored in a 1,100 st-capacity fine ore bin.
 

14.3.3
Grinding
 
Ore from the fine ore bin is fed to the primary ball mill by a conveyor belt.  Grinding is accomplished using a 19.8 x 11.1 ft ball mill equipped with a 1,250 HP motor.  Ball mill discharge is fed to one of two 20-inch cyclones.  Cyclone overflow, at P80 of 210 µm, is fed to the flotation circuit, while the underflow is returned to the ball mill.
 

14.3.4
Flotation
 
Primary flotation is conducted in a circuit comprised of two rougher cells and four scavenger cells. Rougher–flotation product is either sent directly to the concentrate thickener or to the cleaner circuit.  Scavenger product is sent directly to the cleaner circuit, which consists of four primary cleaner cells and two secondary re-cleaner cells.
 
Reagent addition points were designed to give the telluride mineral (calaverite) priority in rougher flotation, then allow for flotation of the bulk sulfides, i.e., a selective flotation strategy.  The discrete calaverite particles can be floated first, followed by those existing as rinds and inclusions with pyrite.  Flotation recovery is about 96% with an overall recovery of 95%.
 

14.3.5
Dewatering
 
Final cleaner concentrate reports to a concentrate thickener, the underflow of which supplies a filter feed tank. The thickener overflow returns to the process water system.

Technical Report Summary
   
Flotation concentrates are thickened and filtered to approximately 10% moisture.  The filter feed tank contents are pumped to a Larox filter press for further dewatering.  Dried filter cake from the Larox is weighed into 2 st flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs); 12 FIBCs are loaded into each 20 ft sea container.  Storage space at the mill is limited, so tractor trailer trucks are used to haul sea containers of concentrate product to a staging area at the Kensington port.  The containers are staged until the desired lot size is achieved, at which time, a barge takes the lot to Seattle, and a container ship delivers the product to the overseas smelter.
 

14.3.6
Tailings
 
Tailings from the scavenger cells are mixed with flocculent and sent to a 29.5 ft diameter high-rate thickener.  The underflow is then pumped 3.5 miles either the TTF, or pumped underground to the paste plant to create backfill.  The overflow returns to the process water system.
 
The paste plant uses a disc filter to decrease the moisture to 20% before the filter cake is mixed with binder and the resulting slurry is pumped to the appropriate stope.  Water removed by the disc filter is sent back to the mill as recycled water.
 
Supernatant water at the TTF is sent to a tailings treatment facility for processing where suspended solids and deleterious elements are removed.  The plant discharges clean water into Slate Creek via pipeline.

Equipment
 
Table 14‑1 is a list of equipment in the process plant.
 

14.5
Power and Consumables
 

14.5.1
Power
 
The mill requires approximately 1.5–2.0 MW of power to operate at full capacity.  Currently, there is no expectation for this power demand to increase.  The power source is discussed in Chapter 15.10.
 

14.5.2
Water
 
The Kensington Operations are allowed by permit to withdraw water from Johnson Creek only when creek levels are higher than a permitted level.  This provides a back-up source of fresh water to the entire site, including the mill and potable water system, with up to 520 gpm of fresh water being available for mill use.  However, the mill requires approximately 1,600 gpm of total water to operate.  The difference between the recycled water and total water required for the mill is made up using fresh water.  Recycled water is sent from the paste plant, the concentrate and tailings thickeners, and water reclaimed from the TTF.

INFRASTRUCTURE
 

15.1
Introduction
 
The Slate Creek Cove Marine Terminal Facility and a 5.7-mile all-weather access road from the terminal to the mine provides all personnel and materials access to the mine.  The Slate Creek Cove Marine Terminal Facility includes docking capabilities for main line ocean-going barges, personnel ferries, float planes, ramp barges, and landing craft.
 
Site infrastructure is located at both the Kensington and Jualin deposit areas:
 
Surface facilities at Kensington include 2.3 miles of all-weather access road from Comet Beach to the Comet Portal (850 Level), the mine water treatment facility with two settling ponds, and a development rock storage facility.  Underground infrastructure includes a paste backfill plant, maintenance shop, warehouse, explosive storage, dewatering, and ventilation;
 
Surface facilities at Jualin include a 375-person camp, dining facility, administration building with medical clinic, warehouse, run-of-mine ore stockpile, crusher and flotation mill, and the TTF at Lower Slate Lake.  The Kensington Tunnel, completed in July 2007, connects the Jualin mill facilities to the orebody.  The tunnel is the primary artery for ore haulage, materials transport, and personnel access.  The tunnel includes 9,660 ft of development from the Kensington Portal to the Kensington ramp system.
 
An infrastructure location plan is provided in Figure 15‑1.
 

15.2
Dumps and Leach Pads
 

15.2.1
Existing Waste Rock Stockpiles
 
Kensington has several existing waste rock stockpiles onsite including at Comet, Pit 1, Pit 4, Pit 7, and the Portal Pad.
 
The Comet waste stockpile is located just outside the Comet portal.  The toe of the stockpile sits just above the Comet water treatment plant.  This stockpile is currently full and not able to receive additional waste rock.
 
Pit 1 is a temporary waste rock stockpile that is used to stage material that will be barged offsite.  Pit 1 can hold approximately 15,000 st and is currently full.
 
The Pit 4 waste stockpile is located in Pit 4 approximately 1 mile south of camp on the main site access road.  Pit 4 is currently permitted to hold 323,040 st, although there is no additional space available until other structures are moved.  Pit 4 contains the pug mill, original mobile maintenance shop, graphitic phyllite rock stockpiles, and surface operations containers and equipment.  The original carpenter shop was relocated from Pit 4 to lower camp for use as an emergency response building.  All but the pug mill is planned to be removed by end of summer, 2022.  This will provide additional waste rock storage space on the north end of Pit 4.

Technical Report Summary
   
Pit 7 is located on Pipeline Road approximately 2.4 miles from camp and can hold approximately 125,000 st.  Pit 7 is not permitted as a permanent waste rock stockpile.  Between 2015 and 2018 Pit 7 was used to stockpile waste rock for the Stage 3 tailings dam raise and also crushing equipment.  Pit 7 was completely empty at the end of 2018.  In early 2021 due to Pit 4 being full, approximately 11,000 st of waste rock was hauled to Pit 7.  Additional rock is scheduled to be hauled to Pit 7 during the summer and fall of 2021.
 
The Kensington Portal stockpile can hold approximately 90,000 st of waste rock and continually receives waste from Kensington and Jualin.  This waste rock is moved twice each year to Pit 4 to allow the mine continuous stockpile space.
 

15.2.2
Additional Waste Rock Stockpiles
 
With the approval of an amended plan of operations (POA-1) by the US Forest Service, which is expected in early 2022, Coeur Alaska will be allowed to expand existing stockpiles and create one new stockpile.  Stockpile capacities will be:
 
Kensington Portal Stockpile Expansion:  73,000 st;
 
Pit 4 Waste Stockpile Expansion:  1,600,000 st;
 
Comet Waste Stockpile Expansion:  1,000,000 st;
 
Pipeline Road New Waste Stockpile:  2,300,000 st.
 

15.2.3
Waste Rock Barged Offsite
 
For the past several years Coeur Alaska has had a contractor crush waste rock and barge it offsite. Approximately 45,000 st was sent offsite in 2020 and 6,340 st in 2021
 

15.3
Tailings Treatment Facility
 
The existing TTF is currently operating at Stage 3 which was constructed 2018–2019 with a crest elevation of 740 ft amsl.  Stage 4 is currently undergoing engineering design that would raise the dam crest to 760 ft amsl and also include a back dam that would separate Upper and Lower Slate Lake.  The back dam would have a crest height of 749 ft amsl.  Both dams are being engineered with the potential for a Stage 5 dam that would increase the main dam crest to 776 ft amsl and the back dam to 765 ft amsl.
 
Stage 3 accommodates the remaining LOM storage requirements.  The following operational measures and/or features will continue to be used:
 
Conventional slurry tailings are generated at the mill, and pumped to the TTF through the existing pipeline;
 
Tailings are deposited into the TTF via a subaqueous pipeline whose location is adjusted based on the shape of the tailings deposition that forms and the depth of the water cover that is being maintained within the facility;
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 15-8

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Reclaim water is pumped from the TTF to the mill for use as process water using the reclaim pump station;
 
Some water from the TTF is pumped to the TTF water treatment plant, treated by flocculation and filtration, and discharged at Outfall 002 as currently permitted (Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) Discharge Permit AK005057-1) on East Slate Creek;
 
The existing discharge bypass pipelines between Upper Slate Lake and East Slate Creek below the TTF will be maintained;
 
A minimum water cover of 9 ft will be present during operation of the TTF;
 
A minimum water cover of 28 ft will be present following closure of the TTF to support benthic and fish populations;
 
Following closure, fish passage from Upper Slate Lake to the TTF (Lower Slate Lake) and to East Slate Creek below the TTF will be provided.
 
Tailings will continue to be backfilled underground as paste.  To support the LOM plan, this amount will be increased to reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the need for expansion of the surface disturbance of the TTF.  Growth media salvaged from the proposed TTF expansion will be stockpiled below the TTF dam and within the proposed water treatment plant relocation area.
 

15.4
Water Management
 
Groundwater captured in the underground mine workings is conveyed to the Comet mine water treatment plant and treated and discharged to Sherman Creek.  The discharge is permitted as outfall 001 in the APDES permit.
 
Surface water runoff and mill process waters that enter the tailings treatment facility are treated and discharged to the east fork of Slate Creek.  The discharge is permitted as outfall 002 in the APDES permit.
 
Runoff from the roads and site facilities is managed using best management practices, as described in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.  All storm water discharges are covered under EPA Multi-Sector General Permit AKR-06-0000.
 

15.4.1
Domestic Water/Wastewater Plants Overview
 
Potable water is supplied from Johnson Creek and Bay 19 in the mine to a potable water treatment skid located on the mill bench.  Kensington camp is served by a 22 gpm potable water plant.  This plant uses prefiltration, chlorination, media filtration and UV disinfection to meet state compliance.  Treated water is distributed by pipelines to the mill and camp.
 
The Kensington camp is served by two MBR (membrane bioreactor) sewage plants. Capacity is permitted to 10,000 gallons per day. These plants use pre-screening, aeration, anoxic denitrification and activated sludge to reduce solids and remove ammonia and nitrates.  Generated sludge waste is shipped offsite for final treatment.

15.4.2
Comet Water Treatment Facility and Process Background
 
The Comet water treatment facility consists of two water plants and a tertiary plant that supports the primary plants during high treatment demand periods.  All three plants use classical clarification and media filtration.
 
The treatment facility is permitted for 3,000 gpm discharge of treated effluent to the 002 outfall.
 
Comet plant 1:  1,600 gpm nominal;
 
Comet plant 2:  1,500 gpm nominal;
 
Comet plant 2.5:   500 gpm nominal.
 
The raw water supply comes from the Comet Portal through an 18” diameter discharge pipe that is reduced down to 14” diameter pipe which discharges into two supply ponds. This water is classified as industrial wastewater.
 
The water treatment plants operate together as one larger conventional water treatment plant.  Processes included are coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration.
 

15.5
Camps and Accommodation
 
Camp accommodations have a 375-person capacity, a kitchen dining recreation (KDR) facility, gym, and administration building.
 

15.6
Power and Electrical
 
Electrical power at Kensington is generated by four diesel engines located inside the powerhouse building on the north end of the mill bench.  The powerhouse was completed in early 2019.  Three generators running simultaneously can produce a maximum of 10.7 MW.  Power is sent to transformers located on the mill bench and form there distributed across the site.
 
Power use continues to increase with current peak winter loads at 90–92% of three-generator capacity.  There is sufficient power for the planned LOM.
 

15.7
Fuel
 
Annual fuel consumption at the mine includes 100,000 gal of propane for mine heat, 3.6 Mgal of diesel for power generation, and 0.9 Mgal of diesel for rolling stock.

MARKET STUDIES AND CONTRACTS
 

16.1
Markets
 
The Kensington Operations produce flotation concentrate containing both gold and silver.  The concentrate is highly marketable due to its elevated gold content and lack of deleterious elements.
 
Concentrate is exported out of Seattle, Washington and is delivered to smelters in Europe and Asia where it is consumed, processed, and the valuable metals extracted.
 
Product from the Kensington Operations is sold by in-house marketing experts.
 
Coeur has established contracts and buyers for concentrate products and has an internal marketing group that monitors markets for its concentrate.  There is a reasonable basis to assume that for the LOM plan, the flotation concentrate will be saleable.
 
There are no agency relationships relevant to the marketing strategies used.
 

16.2
Commodity Price Forecasts
 
Coeur uses a combination of analysis of three-year rolling averages, long-term consensus pricing, and benchmarks to pricing used by industry peers over the past year, when considering long-term commodity price forecasts.
 
Higher metal prices are used for the mineral resource estimates to ensure the mineral reserves are a sub-set of, and not constrained by, the mineral resources, in accordance with industry-accepted practice.
 
The long-term gold price forecasts are:
 
Mineral reserves:
 

o
US$1,400/oz Au;
 
Mineral resources:
 

o
US$1,700/oz Au.
 
The economic evaluation uses gold price forecasts that of US$1,750/oz for 2022 and 2023, and US$1700/oz in 2024.
 
All commodity prices are advised by Coeur across its operations and revised as necessary throughout the budget and forecast process.  The sites do not advise on commodity prices or deviate from the prices provided.
 

16.3
Contracts
 
Concentrate is sold directly to international commodity traders, who then sell onto smelters in Europe and Asia.  Subject to the gold and silver content, gold is typically payable around 98%, and silver payable around 80%.  There are typically no penalties for deleterious elements.  Treatment charges, refining charges, and all other terms and conditions are typical of, and consistent with, standard industry practice for such gold concentrates.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 16-1

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Concentrate is barged in bags in containers from Slate Creek Cove in Berners Bay, Alaska to Seattle in Washington State.  The bags are then transloaded from barge containers into international containers for export from Seattle to Europe and Asia.
 
There are numerous contracts in place at the Project to support mine development or processing. Currently there are contracts in place to provide supply for all major commodities used in mining and processing, such as equipment vendors, power, explosives, cyanide, tire suppliers, contract mining, ground support suppliers and drilling contractors.
 
The terms and rates for these contracts are within industry norms.  The contracts are periodically put up for bid or re-negotiated as required.
 
Coeur’s overall hedging strategy remains focused on supporting cash flow generation during expansion projects, specifically in Nevada.  Coeur proactively monitors market conditions to layer in zero cost collars on as much as 50% of expected gold production in 2022.  Coeur’s silver price exposure remains unhedged.  Currently, 132,000 gold ounces have been hedged by Coeur for 2022 with an average ceiling of $2,038/oz and average floor of $1,630/oz.
 

16.4
QP Statement
 
For the purposes of the gold price forecasts used in the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, the QPs reviewed the corporate pricing provided by Coeur, and accepted these prices as reasonable.  The reviews included checking the pricing used in technical reports recently filed with Canadian regulatory authorities, pricing reported by major mining company peers in recent public filings, the current spot gold pricing, and three-year trailing average pricing.
 
The US$1,400/oz Au price is considered to be a reasonable forecast for the three-year mine life envisaged in the mine plan.  The US$1,700/oz Au mineral resource price is, as noted, selected to ensure that the mineral reserves are a subset of the mineral resources and assume that there is sufficient time in the three-year mine life forecast for the mineral reserves for the mineral resources to potentially be converted to mineral reserves.
 
Overall, the QPs conclude that there is sufficient time in the three-year timeframe considered for the commodity price forecasts for Coeur to address any issues that may arise, or perform appropriate additional drilling, testwork and engineering studies to mitigate identified issues with the estimates or upgrade the confidence categories that are currently assigned.

Environmental monitoring at the site includes water quality, aquatic resource, tailings and waste rock geochemistry, wildlife, and stormwater.
 
Water quality and aquatic resource monitoring is conducted in accordance with the Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES Permit).  Discharges from the water treatment plants along with receiving waters are included in this monitoring program.  Aquatic resource monitoring is conducted at the three receiving waters adjacent to the mine operations.
 
Tailings and waste rock geochemistry is conducted on a quarterly basis and include meteoric water mobility procedure (MWMP) and acid base accounting.
 
Wildlife monitoring occurs at the TTF during the summer months on a weekly basis.  This monitoring is conducted according to the Terrestrial Wildlife Monitoring Plan.
 
Stormwater monitoring at the site is conducted according to the approved Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
 

17.3
Closure and Reclamation Considerations
 
Coeur Alaska conducts an annual review of its potential reclamation responsibilities company- wide.  The total LOM cost for physical reclamation and long-term monitoring of the Kensington Operations is currently estimated to be US$23.7 M.  For this Report, Coeur used the 2021 internal update costs for the total Project, which presents the best information currently available on-site conditions and probable reclamation costs.  The estimates are based on unit costs developed using third-party costs, where applicable, and reflect current pricing conditions.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 17-1

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
At the time of release of the TTF from reclamation liability, long-term monitoring and maintenance would be implemented based on the schedule developed in the final reclamation plan.
 
Coeur intends to fund the long-term monitoring component through establishment of a trust agreement with the state and/or federal agencies. In anticipation of this requirement, the company has pre-funded the long-term monitoring and maintenance account with an insurance carrier.
 
A reclamation and closure plan has been prepared and approved by the governing agencies for the Project.  The current plan was updated in 2021 and reflects current mining, mitigation, and site facilities.  The facility-wide reclamation plan is a combination of site-specific reclamation plans for each part of the mine facility that are required under the Plan of Operations for closure.
 
The plan reflects the alternative chosen in the Final Supplemental EIS Record of Decision and includes comprehensive cost estimates to be used for bonding purposes.  The plan incorporates key reclamation, closure, and monitoring requirements described in the Final Supplemental EIS Record of Decision, and individual, applicable permits for the Project.
 
The closure cost estimate used in the economic model in Chapter 19 is $23.7 M.  Reclamation is anticipated to be completed three years following cessation of mining.  Closure-related activities will continue until about 2055.
 

17.4
Permitting
 
All required local, state, and federal permits for operation have been issued.  The key approvals and permits are summarized in Table 17‑1.
 
POA-1 was submitted to the Forest Service in 2018 and is currently under review by the local, state, and federal agencies.  POA-1 will provide 5 Mst of additional waste rock storage and 4 Mst of additional tailings storage at site.  A Final Supplemental Impact Statement was completed in July 2021 and the Final Record of Decision (ROD) is expected in early 2022.
 

17.5
Social Considerations, Plans, Negotiations and Agreements
 
Coeur Alaska has had a long and positive relationship with the community of Juneau and southeast Alaska.  The operations are well established as an employer providing high-paying jobs.  In addition to direct payroll, Coeur Alaska purchases local goods and services, and is a local taxpayer.  Coeur Alaska employees also volunteer hundreds of hours each year in schools and for local organizations.
 
Coeur Alaska partners with many stakeholders, including national, regional, and state mining associations; trade organizations; fishing organizations; state and local chambers of commerce; economic development organizations; non-government organizations; and, state and federal governments.
 
Coeur Alaska has a partnership with the Berners Bay Consortium, which includes three Alaska Native corporations.  Since 1996, this partnership has provided these corporations with business opportunities and shareholder employment.

CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS
 

18.1
Introduction
 
Capital and operating cost estimates are at a minimum at a pre-feasibility level of confidence, having an accuracy level of ±25% and a contingency range not exceeding 15%.
 

18.2
Capital Cost Estimates
 
All major capital construction projects needed to maintain consistent production and extraction of mineral reserves at the Kensington Operations were completed in 2013.  Since 2013, additional capital projects were completed to improve mill throughput, enhance power generation, and increase tailings storage capacity.
 
Capital development is a concurrent allocation of costs derived by taking the number of capital feet driven times the recorded weighted costs to drive those feet in the period they were driven.  Both types of capital expenditures are sustaining and or improvement capital projects.  Each project is selected for the current year of operation, based on the annual allocation of corporate capital funds, the effect the project has on production and or the internal rate of return.
 
Exploration capital is the cost associated with activities involving infill drilling and the conversion of mineral resources to mineral reserves.
 
Capital projects contemplated in the LOM plan are summarized in Table 18‑1.
 

18.2.1
Basis of Estimate
 
The Kensington Operations are scheduled to run 24 hours per day, 365 days a year, at or near designed capacity.  Financial estimations are based on a zero-base budget approach to building cost estimates for LOM modeling.  All applied consumption rates and cost factors are relative to the sites historical financial data and adjusted for anticipated future inflationary increases.
 
Mine and mill manpower requirements are determined by the respective production rates necessary to meet economic based production requirements.  Coeur Alaska uses four rotating shifts to cover two, 12-hour shifts per day.  The primary shift rotation is two weeks on and two weeks off.  Other shift schedules are used on a limited basis to meet varying business needs.
 
G&A manpower requirements are based on supporting production activities, management of employees and departments, and meeting external reporting/data requirements.  The primary shift rotation is four days on and three days off per working week.
 
Most of the material costs are based on the applied engineering designs to excavate and maintain safe underground tunneling for the access to and extraction of ore and maintain the equipment necessary to perform these duties. Among the top material costs is diesel, which is estimated on the utilization rates of seven generators needed to provide the electricity needs primarily to the mine and mill and for running the operation/support equipment needed to perform mining activities.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
 

19.1
Forward-looking Information Caution
 
Results of the economic analysis represent forward- looking information that is subject to several known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those presented here.
 
Other forward-looking statements in this Report include, but are not limited to: statements with respect to future metal prices and concentrate sales contracts; the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; capital expenditures; costs and timing of the development of new ore zones; permitting time lines; requirements for additional capital; government regulation of mining operations; environmental risks; unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; and, limitations on insurance coverage.
 
Factors that may cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include: actual results of current reclamation activities; results of economic evaluations; changes in Project parameters as mine and process plans continue to be refined, possible variations in mineral reserves, grade or recovery rates; geotechnical considerations during mining; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; shipping delays and regulations; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry; and, delays in obtaining governmental approvals.
 

19.2
Methodology Used
 
Coeur records its financial costs on an accrual basis and adheres to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
 
The financial costs used for this analysis are based on the 2022 LOM budget model.  The economic analysis is based on 100% equity financing and is reported on a 100% project ownership basis.  The economic analysis assumes constant prices with no inflationary adjustments.
 

19.3
Financial Model Parameters
 

19.3.1
Mineral Resource, Mineral Reserve, and Mine Life
 
The mineral resources are discussed in Chapter 11, and the mineral reserves in Chapter 12.
 
The mineral reserves support a mine life of three years to 2024.
 

19.3.2
Metallurgical Recoveries
 
Forecast metallurgical recoveries are provided in Chapter 10.

19.3.3
Smelting and Refining Terms
 
Smelting and refining terms for the gold concentrates are outlined in Chapter 16.
 

19.3.4
Metal Prices
 
Metal price assumptions are provided in Chapter 16.
 

19.3.5
Capital and Operating Costs
 
Capital and operating cost forecasts price assumptions are outlined in Chapter 18.
 

19.3.6
Taxes and Royalties
 
Royalties are discussed in Chapter 3.6. For the purposes of the economic analysis, the Alaska State Royalty at 7% and a corporate tax rate of 15% were applied to the 2021 LOM budget calculated net income.
 
Currently, Coeur pays no federal income tax due to historic Net Operating Losses.
 
Coeur Alaska is obligated to pay Echo Bay or its successors a scaled net smelter return royalty on 1 M troy ounces of gold production, after Coeur Alaska recoups the $32.5 million purchase price, plus (i) its construction and development expenditures incurred after July 7, 1995 in connection with placing the property into commercial production and (ii) certain operating, exploration and development costs thereafter.  Due to the amount of capital to be recovered, no royalty payments are anticipated to be triggered within the LOM plan.
 
Coeur Alaska has an agreement with the Hyak Mining Company (Hyak), as amended August 5, 2005, and further amended July 1, 2009, and October 24, 2013 over the Jualin group claims area (the Hyak Lease).  The current Hyak Lease period, which is the second term of the lease, commenced on August 5, 2020 and ends on August 5, 2035.
 
Under the terms of the Hyak Lease, Coeur Alaska must pay Hyak annually, during the initial term, by or before May 1, an advance minimum royalty of $231,000, which is adjusted every three years in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index, published by the U.S. Department of Commerce for all Urban Consumers, City of Anchorage, Alaska.
 
If production occurs from the leased premises, a 5% net returns royalty on production as defined by the Hyak Lease, is due, unless the amount of the net returns royalty is less than the adjusted advance minimum royalty.  If the net returns royalty is less, then the advance minimum royalty is paid instead of the net returns royalty.
 
The Hyak Lease will continue after 2035, provided mining and production are actively occurring within and from the leased premises.  The advance minimum royalties and prepaid consideration for the second lease term are recoupable by Coeur Alaska by the company crediting and recovering these payments against future net returns and royalties on production due to Hyak. The recoupment cannot in any given year cause the net returns royalties to be reduced to less than the advance minimum royalty amount, as adjusted.

Closure Costs and Salvage Value
 
The closure cost estimate used in the economic model in Chapter 19 is $23.7 M.  Reclamation is anticipated to be completed three years following cessation of mining.  Closure-related activities are expected to continue until about 2055.
 

19.3.8
Financing
 
The economic analysis is based on 100% equity financing and is reported on a 100% project ownership basis.
 

19.3.9
Inflation
 
The economic analysis assumes constant prices with no inflationary adjustments.
 

19.4
Economic Analysis
 
The NPV at a discount rate of 5% is $83.7 M.
 
As the cashflows are based on existing operations where all costs are considered sunk, considerations of payback and internal rate of return are not relevant.
 
An annualized cashflow statement is provided in Table 19‑2.
 
The analysis assumes active mining operations cease in 2024.  Closure costs are estimated to 2055; however, for presentation purposes, closure costs are shown in Table 19‑2 as occurring within 2025.
 

19.5
Sensitivity Analysis
 
The sensitivity of the Project to changes in metal prices, operating cost, capital cost and grade assumptions was tested.
 
The Project is most sensitive to metal price and grade, less sensitive to operating costs, and least sensitive to capital costs (Table 19‑3).

INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
 

22.1
Introduction
 
The QPs note the following interpretations and conclusions within their areas of expertise, based on the review of data available for this Report.
 

22.2
Mineral Tenure, Surface Rights, Water Rights, Royalties and Agreements
 
Coeur Alaska is the operating entity.
 
Coeur Alaska controls two contiguous claims groups: the Kensington group and Jualin group.  The area covered under the Kensington group claims is 3,969 net acres, and under the Jualin group is 8,366 net acres.  Fourteen of the 23 patented lode claims in the Jualin group cover private surface estate only.  The mineral estate to these 14 patented lode claims located within the U.S. Mineral Surveys is owned by the State of Alaska, the mineral rights to which are secured by a State of Alaska upland mining lease.  Coeur Alaska also controls the properties comprising the Jualin group, under a lease agreement with Hyak.
 
The Kensington Operations hold all necessary surface and water rights to support the LOM plan.
 
Rights for ancillary infrastructure at Slate Creek Cove are secured through a 25-year State of Alaska Tideland Lease, granted in 2011.
 
The State of Alaska granted a right-of-way permit to the Comet Beach facility.
 
Coeur Alaska holds a 10-year public, non-exclusive easement and right-of-way for the Jualin mine road.
 
A scaled net smelter return royalty on 1 M troy ounces of gold production is payable to Echo Bay after certain conditions are met.
 
The property is secured in favor of Coeur’s lender under its revolving credit facility.
 

22.3
Geology and Mineralization
 
The deposits that comprise the Kensington Operations are considered to be examples of orogenic gold deposits.
 
The geological understanding of the settings, lithologies, and structural and alteration controls on mineralization is sufficient to support estimation of mineral resources.
 

22.4
Exploration, Drilling, and Sampling
 
The exploration programs completed by Coeur Alaska to date and predecessor companies are appropriate for the mineralization styles.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 22-1

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
The quantity and quality of the lithological, collar, and down hole survey data collected in the exploration program completed are sufficient to support mineral resource estimation.  No drilling, sampling, or core recovery issues that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the core samples have been identified.
 
The collected sample data adequately reflect deposit dimensions, true widths of mineralization, and the deposit style.
 
Sampling is representative of the gold values, reflecting areas of higher and lower grades.
 
The independent analytical laboratories used by Coeur Alaska and predecessor companies, where known, are accredited for selected analytical techniques.
 
Sample preparation procedures and protocols are/were standard in the industry and have been adequate throughout the history of the Project.  Sample analysis uses procedures that are standard in the industry.
 
The QA/QC programs adequately address issues of precision, accuracy, and contamination, and indicate that the analytical results are adequately accurate, precise, and contamination free to support mineral resource estimation.
 
The sample preparation, analysis, and security procedures are adequate for use in the estimation of mineral resources.
 

22.5
Data Verification
 
The QP undertook QA/QC verification, participated in programs to verify drill data prior to mineral resource estimation, checked selected gold assay data, conducted drill hole lockdown, including checks of assay certificates, collar and downhole surveys, geology, and QA/QC reports, and signed off on 2015–present definition drill holes and the 2021 drilling.
 
The QP is of the opinion that the data verification programs for Project data adequately support the geological interpretations, the analytical and database quality, and therefore support the use of the data in mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation, and in mine planning.
 

22.6
Metallurgical Testwork
 
Metallurgical testwork was conducted by reputable laboratories and is supported by nearly a decade of production data.  Test results were used as a guideline for plant design.  Metallurgical testing results were consistent in the recommended methods of process design, extraction and recovery estimates.
 
Recovery factors estimated are based on appropriate metallurgical test work and confirmed with production data.  Recovery factors are appropriate to the mineralization types and the selected process route.  The LOM recovery forecast is 95.3%.
 
Based on extensive operating experience and testwork, there are no known processing factors of deleterious elements that could have a significant effect on the economic extraction of the mineral reserve estimates.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   

22.7
Mineral Resource Estimates
 
The mineral resource estimate conforms to industry best practices and is reported using the definitions set out in SK-1300 and are reported exclusive of those mineral resources converted to mineral reserves. The reference point for the estimate is in situ.  The estimate is primarily supported by core drilling.  The estimate was constrained using reasonable prospects of economic extraction that assumed longhole stoping underground mining methods.
 
Factors that may affect the mineral resource estimates include: metal price and exchange rate assumptions; changes to the assumptions used to generate the gold cut-off grade; changes in local interpretations of mineralization geometry and continuity of mineralized zones; changes to geological and mineralization shape and geological and grade continuity assumptions; density and domain assignments; changes to geotechnical, mining, and metallurgical recovery assumptions; changes to the input and design parameter assumptions that pertain to the assumptions for underground mining constraining the estimates; assumptions as to the continued ability to access the site, retain mineral and surface rights titles, maintain environment and other regulatory permits, and maintain the social license to operate.
 

22.8
Mineral Reserve Estimates
 
The mineral reserve estimate conforms to industry best practices and is reported using the definitions set out in SK-1300.  The reference point for the estimate is the point of delivery to the process facilities.
 
Mineral reserves were converted from measured and indicated mineral resources.  Inferred mineral resources were set to waste.  The mine plans assume underground mining using longhole open stoping, trackless equipment and combination of CRF, waste, and paste backfill.  Target mining rates are capped at approximately 2,000 tons per day, which is the permitted capacity limit.
 
Factors that may affect the mineral reserve estimates include variations to the following assumptions:  the commodity price; metallurgical recoveries; operating cost estimates; geotechnical conditions; hydrogeological conditions; geological and structural interpretations; changes to the input and design parameter assumptions that pertain to the assumptions for the mineable shapes constraining the estimates; changes to dilution assumptions that can impact grade and operating costs; the inability to maintain, renew, or obtain environmental and other regulatory permits, to retain mineral and surface right titles, to maintain site access, and to maintain the social license to operate.
 

22.9
Mining Methods
 
The Kensington Operations use conventional underground equipment and mining methods.  The mine has been operating since July 2012.
 
Geotechnical conditions are reasonably understood, and geotechnical assumptions are supported by third-party expert reviews.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 22-3

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
There are few hydrogeological aspects to be considered beyond natural inflow of water to the workings within the Kensington and Raven orebodies.
 
Stoping and paste backfill mining methods were selected and implemented based on the orebody location, ground conditions and geological settings.  Mining design assumptions for each mining region are typically standardized for each area and mining method assumed.
 
The Kensington Operations typically process between 1,750–1,950 st/day with a waste stream of about 10% rejected as a coarse pebble reject, which is then passed through a sorter to further extract ore grade material for re-feed back into the mill.
 
Ventilation is provided by fans and ventilation raises.
 
Backfill is a combination of cemented paste fill, CRF, and straight waste fill.
 
The production plan assumes a three-year mine life to 2024.
 

22.10
Recovery Methods
 
The process plant design was based on a combination of metallurgical testwork, study designs and industry standard practices, together with debottlenecking and optimization activities once the mill was operational.  The design is conventional to the gold industry and has no novel parameters.
 

22.11
Infrastructure
 
All infrastructure required to support operations has been constructed and is operational.  On-site infrastructure includes the Slate Creek Cove Marine Terminal Facility, access roads, accommodations camp, mine water treatment facility with two settling ponds, a development rock storage facility, paste backfill plant, maintenance shop, warehouse, explosive storage, dewatering and ventilation infrastructure, administration buildings, medical clinic, warehouse, run-of-mine ore stockpile, crusher and flotation mill, and the TTF.
 
The Kensington Operations have several existing waste rock stockpiles onsite.  With the approval of POA-1, Coeur Alaska will be allowed to expand existing stockpiles and create one new stockpile.
 
The existing TTF is currently operating at Stage 3, which was constructed 2018–2019.  Stage 3 will accommodate the remaining LOM storage requirements.  Stage 4 is currently undergoing engineering design that would raise the dam crest to 760 ft amsl and also include a back dam that would separate Upper and Lower Slate Lake.  Both dams are being engineered with the potential for a Stage 5 dam.
 
Groundwater, surface water runoff and mill process waters that enter the tailings treatment facility are sent to a water treatment plant. The Comet water treatment facility consists of two water plants and a tertiary plant that supports the primary plants during high treatment demand periods.
 
Electrical power is supplied by diesel generators.
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 22-4

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
Water is sourced for process operations from recycled water from the paste plant, the concentrate and tailings thickeners, and water reclaimed from the TSF, and supplemented when needed from a permitted allowance for freshwater extraction from Johnson Creek.
 

22.12
Market Studies
 
The Kensington Operations produce flotation concentrate containing both gold and silver.  The concentrate is highly desirable due to its elevated gold content and lack of deleterious elements.  Concentrate is sold directly to international commodity traders, who then sell onto smelters in Europe and Asia.  Subject to the gold and silver content, gold is typically payable around 98%, and silver payable around 80%.
 
Coeur uses a combination of analysis of three-year rolling averages, long-term consensus pricing, and benchmarks to pricing used by industry peers over the past year, when considering long-term commodity price forecasts.  Higher metal prices are used for the mineral resource estimates to ensure the mineral reserves are a sub-set of, and not constrained by, the mineral resources, in accordance with industry-accepted practice.
 
Concentrate is sold directly to international commodity traders, who then sell onto smelters in Europe and Asia.  Subject to the gold and silver content, gold is typically payable around 98%, and silver payable around 80%.  There are typically no penalties for deleterious elements.  Treatment charges, refining charges, and all other terms and conditions are typical of, and consistent with, standard industry practice for such gold concentrates.
 
There are numerous contracts in place at the Project to support mine development or processing. Currently there are contracts in place to provide supply for all major commodities used in mining and processing, such as equipment vendors, power, explosives, cyanide, tire suppliers, contract mining, ground support suppliers and drilling contractors.  The terms and rates for these contracts are within industry norms.  The contracts are periodically put up for bid or re-negotiated as required.
 

22.13
Environmental, Permitting and Social Considerations
 
Baseline studies and monitoring were required in support of Project permitting.
 
The closure cost estimate used in the economic model in Chapter 19 is $23.7 M.  Reclamation is anticipated to be completed three years following cessation of mining.  Closure-related activities will continue until about 2055.
 
All required local, state, and federal permits for operation have been issued. POA-1 was submitted to the Forest Service in 2018 and is currently under review by the local, state, and federal agencies.

Coeur Alaska developed a community relations plan to identify and ensure an understanding of the needs of the surrounding communities and to determine appropriate programs for filling those needs. The company appropriately monitors socio-economic trends, community perceptions and mining impacts.

Economic Analysis
 
The mineral reserves support a mine life of three-years to 2024.  Closure costs are estimated to 2055.
 
The NPV at a discount rate of 5% is $83.7 M.  As the cashflows are based on existing operations where all costs are considered sunk, considerations of payback and internal rate of return are not relevant.
 
The sensitivity of the Project to changes in metal prices, exchange rate, sustaining capital costs and operating cost assumptions was tested using a ±30% range.
 
The Project is most sensitive to metal price and grade, less sensitive to operating costs, and least sensitive to capital costs
 

22.17
Risks and Opportunities
 
Factors that may affect the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates were identified in Chapter 11 and Chapter 12.
 

22.17.1
Risks
 
Risks include:
 
Commodity price increases for key consumables such diesel, electricity, tires and consumables would negatively impact the stated mineral reserves and mineral resources;
 
Labor cost increases or productivity decreases could also impact the stated mineral reserves and mineral resources, or impact the economic analysis that supports the mineral reserves;
 
Geotechnical and hydrological assumptions used in mine planning are based on historical performance, and to date historical performance has been a reasonable predictor of current conditions.  Any changes to the geotechnical and hydrological assumptions could affect mine planning, affect capital cost estimates if any major rehabilitation is required due to a geotechnical or hydrological event, affect operating costs due to mitigation measures that may need to be imposed, and impact the economic analysis that supports the mineral reserve estimates;
 
Effective Date:  December 31, 2021
 
Page 22-6

Kensington Gold Operations
Alaska
Technical Report Summary
   
The mineral resource estimates are sensitive to metal prices.  Lower metal prices require revisions to the mineral resource estimates;
 
Assumptions that the long-term reclamation and mitigation of the Kensington Operations can be appropriately managed within the estimated closure timeframes and closure cost estimates;
 
Political risk from challenges to:
 

o
Mining licenses;
 

o
Environmental permits;
 

o
Coeur Alaska’s right to operate;
 
Changes to assumptions as to governmental tax or royalty rates, such as taxation rate increases or new taxation or royalty imposts.
 

22.17.2
Opportunities
 
Opportunities include:
 
Conversion of some or all of the measured and indicated mineral resources currently reported exclusive of mineral reserves to mineral reserves, with appropriate supporting studies;
 
Upgrade of some or all of the inferred mineral resources to higher-confidence categories, such that such better-confidence material could be used in mineral reserve estimation;
 
Higher metal prices than forecast could present upside sales opportunities and potentially an increase in predicted Project economics;
 
Ability to define additional mineralization around known veins through exploration;
 
Discovery and development of new exploration targets across the district;
 
Potential to find or gain access to new mineralization sources that could be processed at the existing Kensington process facilities.
 

22.18
Conclusions
 
Under the assumptions in this Report, the operations evaluated show a positive cash flow over the remaining LOM.  The mine plan is achievable under the set of assumptions and parameters used.

Definition
cut-off grade
The grade (i.e., the concentration of metal or mineral in rock) that determines the destination of the material during mining. For purposes of establishing “prospects of economic extraction,” the cut-off grade is the grade that distinguishes material deemed to have no economic value (it will not be mined in underground mining or if mined in surface mining, its destination will be the waste dump) from material deemed to have economic value (its ultimate destination during mining will be a processing facility). Other terms used in similar fashion as cut-off grade include net smelter return, pay limit, and break-even stripping ratio.
cyanidation
A method of extracting gold or silver by dissolving it in a weak solution of sodium cyanide.
data verification
The process of confirming that data has been generated with proper procedures, has been accurately transcribed from the original source and is suitable to be used for mineral resource and mineral reserve estimation
decline
A sloping underground opening for machine access from level to level or from the surface.  Also called a ramp.
density
The mass per unit volume of a substance, commonly expressed in grams/ cubic centimeter.
depletion
The decrease in quantity of ore in a deposit or property resulting from extraction or production.

dilution
Waste of low-grade rock which is unavoidably removed along with the ore in the mining process.
drift
A horizontal mining passage underground.  A drift usually follows the ore vein, as distinguished from a crosscut, which intersects it.
easement
Areas of land owned by the property owner, but in which other parties, such as utility companies, may have limited rights granted for a specific purpose.
encumbrance
An interest or partial right in real property which diminished the value of ownership, but does not prevent the transfer of ownership.  Mortgages, taxes and judgements are encumbrances known as liens.  Restrictions, easements, and reservations are also encumbrances, although not liens.
exploration information
Geological, geophysical, geochemical, sampling, drilling, trenching, analytical testing, assaying, mineralogical, metallurgical, and other similar information concerning a particular property that is derived from activities undertaken to locate, investigate, define, or delineate a mineral prospect or mineral deposit
feasibility study
A feasibility study is a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project, which includes detailed assessments of all applicable modifying factors, as defined by this section, together with any other relevant operational factors, and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is economically viable. The results of the study may serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project.
A feasibility study is more comprehensive, and with a higher degree of accuracy, than a pre-feasibility study. It must contain mining, infrastructure, and process designs completed with sufficient rigor to serve as the basis for an investment decision or to support project financing.

flotation
Separation of minerals based on the interfacial chemistry of the mineral particles in solution. Reagents are added to the ore slurry to render the surface of selected minerals hydrophobic. Air bubbles are introduced to which the hydrophobic minerals attach. The selected minerals are levitated to the top of the flotation machine by their attachment to the bubbles and into a froth product, called the "flotation concentrate." If this froth carries more than one mineral as a designated main constituent, it is called a "bulk float". If it is selective to one constituent of the ore, where more than one will be floated, it is a "differential" float.
flowsheet
The sequence of operations, step by step, by which ore is treated in a milling, concentration, or smelting process.
footwall
The wall or rock on the underside of a vein or ore structure.
Gravity concentrate
 
gravity separation
Exploitation of differences in the densities of particles to achieve separation. Machines utilizing gravity separation include jigs and shaking tables.
gravity recoverable gold
A term that describes the portion of gold in an ore that is practically recoverable by gravity separation, determined through a standard laboratory test procedure.
greenschist facies
one of the major divisions of the mineral facies classification of metamorphic rocks, the rocks of which formed under the lowest temperature and pressure conditions usually produced by regional metamorphism. Temperatures between 300 and 450 °C (570 and 840 °F) and pressures of 1 to 4 kilobars are typical. The more common minerals found in such rocks include quartz, orthoclase, muscovite, chlorite, serpentine, talc, and epidote
hanging wall
The wall or rock on the upper or top side of a vein or ore deposit.
indicated mineral resource
An indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling.  The term adequate geological evidence means evidence that is sufficient to establish geological and grade or quality continuity with reasonable certainty. The level of geological certainty associated with an indicated mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.
inferred mineral resource
An inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling.  The term limited geological evidence means evidence that is only sufficient to establish that geological and grade or quality continuity is more likely than not. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability.
A qualified person must have a reasonable expectation that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated or measured mineral resources with continued exploration; and should be able to defend the basis of this expectation before his or her peers.
initial assessment
An initial assessment is a preliminary technical and economic study of the economic potential of all or parts of mineralization to support the disclosure of mineral resources. The initial assessment must be prepared by a qualified person and must include appropriate assessments of reasonably assumed technical and economic factors, together with any other relevant operational factors, that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction.  An initial assessment is required for disclosure of mineral resources but cannot be used as the basis for disclosure of mineral reserves

Any exploration, development or production activity, including a royalty or similar interest in these activities, in respect of diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals
mineral reserve
A mineral reserve is an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted.
The determination that part of a measured or indicated mineral resource is economically mineable must be based on a preliminary feasibility (pre-feasibility) or feasibility study, as defined by this section, conducted by a qualified person applying the modifying factors to indicated or measured mineral resources. Such study must demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction of the mineral reserve is economically viable under reasonable investment and market assumptions. The study must establish a life of mine plan that is technically achievable and economically viable, which will be the basis of determining the mineral reserve.
The term economically viable means that the qualified person has determined, using a discounted cash flow analysis, or has otherwise analytically determined, that extraction of the mineral reserve is economically viable under reasonable investment and market assumptions.
The term investment and market assumptions includes all assumptions made about the prices, exchange rates, interest and discount rates, sales volumes, and costs that are necessary to determine the economic viability of the mineral reserves. The qualified person must use a price for each commodity that provides a reasonable basis for establishing that the project is economically viable.

Definition
mineral resource
A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction.
The term material of economic interest includes mineralization, including dumps and tailings, mineral brines, and other resources extracted on or within the earth’s crust. It does not include oil and gas resources as defined in Regulation S-X (§210.4-10(a)(16)(D) of this chapter), gases (e.g., helium and carbon dioxide), geothermal fields, and water.
When determining the existence of a mineral resource, a qualified person, as defined by this section, must be able to estimate or interpret the location, quantity, grade or quality continuity, and other geological characteristics of the mineral resource from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling; and conclude that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction of the mineral resource based on an initial assessment, as defined in this section, that he or she conducts by qualitatively applying relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospect of economic extraction.
mining claim
A description by boundaries of real property in which metal ore and/or minerals may be located.
modifying factors
The factors that a qualified person must apply to indicated and measured mineral resources and then evaluate in order to establish the economic viability of mineral reserves. A qualified person must apply and evaluate modifying factors to convert measured and indicated mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves. These factors include, but are not restricted to: mining; processing; metallurgical; infrastructure; economic; marketing; legal; environmental compliance; plans, negotiations, or agreements with local individuals or groups; and governmental factors. The number, type and specific characteristics of the modifying factors applied will necessarily be a function of and depend upon the mineral, mine, property, or project.
net present value (NPV)
The present value of the difference between the future cash flows associated with a project and the investment required for acquiring the project.  Aggregate of future net cash flows discounted back to a common base date, usually the present.  NPV is an indicator of how much value an investment or project adds to a company.
net smelter return royalty (NSR)
A defined percentage of the gross revenue from a resource extraction operation, less a proportionate share of transportation, insurance, and processing costs.
open stope
In competent rock, it is possible to remove all of a moderate sized ore body, resulting in an opening of considerable size.  Such large, irregularly-shaped openings are called stopes.  The mining of large inclined ore bodies often requires leaving horizontal pillars across the stope at intervals in order to prevent collapse of the walls.

A group of buildings, and especially to their contained equipment, in which a process or function is carried out; on a mine it will include warehouses, hoisting equipment, compressors, repair shops, offices, mill or concentrator.
portal
The surface entrance to a tunnel or adit
preliminary feasibility study, pre-feasibility study
A preliminary feasibility study (prefeasibility study) is a comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a qualified person has determined (in the case of underground mining) a preferred mining method, or (in the case of surface mining) a pit configuration, and in all cases has determined an effective method of mineral processing and an effective plan to sell the product.
A pre-feasibility study includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions, based on appropriate testing, about the modifying factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors that are sufficient for a qualified person to determine if all or part of the indicated and measured mineral resources may be converted to mineral reserves at the time of reporting. The financial analysis must have the level of detail necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is economically viable
probable mineral reserve
A probable mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured mineral resource.   For a probable mineral reserve, the qualified person’s confidence in the results obtained from the application of the modifying factors and in the estimates of tonnage and grade or quality is lower than what is sufficient for a classification as a proven mineral reserve, but is still sufficient to demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction of the mineral reserve is economically viable under reasonable investment and market assumptions. The lower level of confidence is due to higher geologic uncertainty when the qualified person converts an indicated mineral resource to a probable reserve or higher risk in the results of the application of modifying factors at the time when the qualified person converts a measured mineral resource to a probable mineral reserve.  A qualified person must classify a measured mineral resource as a probable mineral reserve when his or her confidence in the results obtained from the application of the modifying factors to the measured mineral resource is lower than what is sufficient for a proven mineral reserve.
propylitic
Characteristic greenish colour.  Minerals include chlorite, actinolite and epidote.  Typically contains the assemblage quartz-chlorite-carbonate
proven mineral reserve
A proven mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource.  For a proven mineral reserve, the qualified person has a high degree of confidence in the results obtained from the application of the modifying factors and in the estimates of tonnage and grade or quality.  A proven mineral reserve can only result from conversion of a measured mineral resource.
