BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation: The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and include the accounts of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Coeur” or the “Company”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results reported for the year ending December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2012 balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant areas requiring the use of management’s estimates and assumptions relate to recoverable ounces from proven and probable reserves that are the basis of future cash flow estimates and units-of-production depreciation and amortization calculations; useful lives utilized for depreciation, depletion and amortization; estimates of future cash flows for long lived assets; estimates of recoverable gold and silver ounces in ore on leach pads; the amount and timing of reclamation and remediation costs; and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
