Coeur Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2018 Results
Provides Full-Year 2019 Production and Cost Guidance

Chicago, Illinois - February 20, 2019 - Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today reported fourth quarter 2018 financial results, including revenue of $143.8 million, adjusted EBITDA1 of $36.2 million and cash flow from operating activities of $0.1 million ($24.5 million prior to changes in working capital). Including $24.5 million of non-cash write-downs, the Company reported GAAP net income from continuing operations of $0.4 million, or $0.00 per share. On an adjusted basis1, the Company reported net income of $16.1 million, or $0.08 per share.
Fourth quarter results reflect strong performance from Palmarejo, Rochester and Kensington, partially offset by the ongoing ramp-up of operations at the Company’s new Silvertip mine and weaker-than-expected performance at Wharf. Financial results also reflect the impact of the bankruptcy filing of Republic Metals Corp. (“RMC”), a U.S.-based precious metals refiner, that occurred in early November 2018. Non-cash write-downs during the quarter reflect (i) an inventory adjustment relating to concentrate at Silvertip and (ii) a reduction in accounts receivable relating to the RMC bankruptcy.
For the full year, Coeur reported revenue of $625.9 million, adjusted EBITDA1 of $157.3 million and cash flow from operating activities of $20.1 million ($112.4 million prior to changes in working capital). Including $55.3 million of non-cash write-downs, the Company reported a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $49.0 million, or $0.26 per share. On an adjusted basis1, the Company reported a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.01 per share. In addition to the non-cash write-downs in the fourth quarter noted above, the full-year figures also reflect (i) a modification to the deferred consideration received for the Company’s Bolivian subsidiary sold in early 2018, (ii) the decommissioning of the in-pit crusher at Rochester, and (iii) an inventory adjustment at Silvertip during its first month of commercial production.

Key Highlights
Strong performance at Palmarejo and Rochester - At Palmarejo, fourth quarter gold and silver production increased 12% and 23% quarter-over-quarter, respectively, while full-year gold and silver production increased 1% and 4%, respectively, compared to 2017. Palmarejo’s fourth quarter and full-year adjusted costs applicable to sales (“CAS”) per average spot silver equivalent ounce (“AgEqOz”)1 decreased 4% and 14%, respectively. At Rochester, fourth quarter silver and gold production increased 14% and 8%, respectively, compared to the third quarter, while full-year silver and gold production both increased 7% compared to 2017. Rochester’s fourth quarter and full-year adjusted CAS per AgEqOz1 decreased 5% and 4%, respectively
Increased production from Jualin resulted in strong fourth quarter results at Kensington - Nearly 10,500 ounces of gold were mined from the high-grade Jualin deposit during the fourth quarter, leading to a 24% increase in the average gold grade, a 32% increase in production (inclusive of pre-commercial), and a 23% reduction in CAS per AuOz1 quarter-over-quarter
Completed acquisition to further enhance portfolio quality and future pipeline - On November 19, 2018, Coeur completed the acquisition of an extensive land package adjacent to its Rochester operation in northern Nevada for $19 million from Alio Gold Inc. The acquisition included the Lincoln Hill Project, which is located approximately four miles west of Rochester and contains estimated gold grades nearly

1



four-times higher than Rochester’s gold reserves.2 In total, the acquisition more than doubles Rochester’s land position from roughly 16,300 acres (approximately 6,600 hectares) to over 40,300 acres (approximately 16,300 hectares)
Continued ramp-up at Silvertip - Operations at Silvertip continued to ramp up during the fourth quarter and into 2019. Despite tracking behind original expectations, the Company continues to target a 1,100 ton per day (“tpd”) (1,000 metric tonne per day ("mtpd")) processing rate by the end of the first quarter. Throughput rates continue to improve, with January representing the best month of operating performance since the ramp-up of the mine and mill began last year. Coeur anticipates receiving approval for the permit amendment application that will allow for a sustained mining and milling rate of 1,100 tpd (1,000 mtpd) on a year-round basis in early 2019
Weaker-than-expected fourth quarter at Wharf - Fourth quarter results were impacted by the placement of lower grade ore during the quarter and by temporary percolation leach pad issues that resulted in slower-than-anticipated recoveries in the quarter. Full-year results were also impacted by unplanned weather-related downtime experienced in the third quarter and timing of leach pad recoveries. Year-to-date 2019 performance at Wharf has rebounded and the Company expects full-year production to return to levels comparable to prior years
Fourth consecutive year of reserve growth2 as exploration programs continue to deliver solid results - Coeur’s full-year exploration investment totaled $44.0 million, comprised of $25.4 million of expensed exploration and $18.6 million of capitalized exploration. The Company drilled over 690,000 feet (210,300 meters) in 2018, its highest annual total since 2012. Proven and probable reserves from continuing operations totaled 2.8 million ounces of gold, 171.3 million ounces of silver, 291.2 million pounds of zinc and 197.5 million pounds of lead, an overall reserve increase year-over-year.2 The strong reserve growth was driven by the Company’s continued investment in its success-based exploration program

“The Company remains committed to its strategy of being a balanced gold and silver producer with a focus on generating sustainable, high-quality growth and cash flow from a North American asset base,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “During 2018, we significantly decreased our geopolitical risk profile and further positioned the Company for future growth. We completed two strategic acquisitions of Nevada-based gold and silver assets last year and finalized the sale of the higher-cost San Bartolomé silver operation in Bolivia. In addition, we commenced operations at our new Silvertip operation in British Columbia, which is expected to become a significant contributor of high-margin, long-life production and cash flow for the Company. While Silvertip’s ramp-up has been slower than initially planned, we are steadily increasing mining and processing rates and remain enthusiastic about its future.
“Two other notable accomplishments last year were our drilling success and our cost performance. We successfully increased overall reserves for the fourth consecutive year while bolstering our growth pipeline through our high-return brownfield drilling investments,” continued Mr. Krebs. “Regarding cost performance, Palmarejo, Rochester and Wharf all beat their full-year unit cost guidance. Kensington achieved adjusted CAS per AuOz1 of $842 during the fourth quarter, 23% lower than the third quarter, largely due to the contribution of high-grade ounces from the Jualin deposit. Companywide capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses were in line with full-year guidance.”

Financial Results
Fourth quarter revenue of $143.8 million was slightly lower compared to the prior quarter. Average realized gold and silver prices for the quarter were $1,214 and $14.59 per ounce, respectively, or 6% higher and 1% lower quarter-over-quarter.

For the full year, the Company generated revenue of $625.9 million compared to $709.6 million in 2017. Average realized gold and silver prices were $1,218 and $15.65, respectively, which were 1% higher and 8% lower year-over-year.
Average realized gold prices during the fourth quarter and for the full year reflect the sale of 5,458 and 35,807 gold ounces, respectively, at a price of $800 per ounce pursuant to Palmarejo’s gold stream agreement. The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 59% of 2018 revenue, unchanged from the prior year. Gold sales contributed 68% of 2018 revenue and silver sales contributed 31%.
Fourth quarter and full-year revenue also reflect the impact of the bankruptcy filing of RMC, which occurred in early November 2018. Approximately 6,500 ounces and 0.4 million ounces of the Company’s gold and silver, respectively, were affected by RMC’s Chapter 11 filing. As a result, Coeur was unable to recognize the revenue or collect the corresponding cash proceeds associated with that material. The Company recognized a $6.5 million write-down on its income statement to establish a receivable related to amounts owed from RMC, which resulted in an unfavorable change in working capital in the quarter. The amount of the write-down was determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be indicative of the actual amount that will be ultimately recovered from RMC.
Costs applicable to sales were $116.6 million and $441.0 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, relatively flat compared to the same periods in the prior year. Lower overall costs applicable to sales were offset by inventory adjustments relating to concentrate at Silvertip, which totaled $18.0 million and $26.7 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.
General and administrative expenses were $7.1 million and $31.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, or 8% and 7% lower quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. These decreases were largely driven by lower employee-related expenses. Exploration expense for the fourth quarter and full year was $4.1 million and $25.4 million, respectively. The Company focused its resource expansion efforts on its highest, near-mine growth targets at Palmarejo, Kensington and Silvertip. See page 11 for further details.
During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $36.2 million, largely due to the release of a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For the full year, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $16.8 million.
Operating cash flow of $0.1 million and $20.1 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, was impacted by changes in working capital. Excluding changes in working capital, fourth quarter and full-year operating cash flow were $24.5 million and $112.4 million, respectively. Fourth quarter working capital was largely driven by unfavorable movements in inventory, primarily from Silvertip and material that was impacted by RMC’s bankruptcy. Full-year working capital was also impacted by accounts receivable, largely related to the timing of Mexican value-added tax refunds, as well as income and mining tax payments at Palmarejo associated with 2017 earnings.
Fourth quarter capital expenditures of $17.8 million decreased 55% quarter-over-quarter primarily due to the declaration of commercial production at Silvertip. Full-year capital expenditures of $140.8 million were relatively flat year-over-year. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately 60% and 40%, respectively, of the Company’s capital expenditures in 2018.

Fourth quarter gold and silver production increased 12% and 23%, respectively, to 31,239 and 1.9 million ounces compared to the prior quarter. Full-year gold and silver production increased 1% and 4%, respectively, to 122,722 ounces and 7.5 million ounces
Higher production during the quarter was driven largely by increased throughput as the Company processed ore that was initially scheduled to be processed in the third quarter
Fourth quarter adjusted CAS per average spot AgEqOz1 decreased 4% to $7.62 compared to the prior quarter and full-year adjusted CAS per average spot AgEqOz1 decreased 14% year-over-year to $7.23. The quarterly decrease was largely due to higher throughput, partially offset by lower grades. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to higher gold and silver grades
Underground development at the La Nación deposit, located between the Independencia and Guadalupe underground mines, remains on-schedule. Production is expected to commence in the second half of 2019, providing additional mill feed to supplement existing ore sources

5



Palmarejo generated free cash flow1 of $21.1 million for the full year. The decrease compared to the prior year was primarily driven by $39.6 million of cash income and mining taxes paid in 2018, $17.0 million of which was associated with 2017 earnings
Full-year 2019 production is expected to be 95,000 - 105,000 ounces of gold and 6.5 - 7.2 million ounces of silver. Comparatively lower gold production is largely attributable to an expected reduction in overall gold grade
CAS are expected to be $650 - $750 per gold ounce and $9.00 - $10.00 per silver ounce
Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $40 - $45 million

Silver and gold production during the fourth quarter increased 14% and 8%, respectively, to 1.5 million and 15,926 ounces, compared to the prior quarter. For the full year, silver production was 5.0 million ounces while gold production was 54,388 ounces, both 7% higher than 2017
Production was positively impacted by the continued strong performance of both the Stage IV and Stage III leach pads. These positive results outweighed the impact of lower crushing rates during the fourth quarter, which were anticipated following the decommissioning of the 15,000 tpd in-pit crusher
Fourth quarter adjusted CAS per average spot AgEqOz1 of $10.83 were 5% lower compared to the prior quarter due to strong production results in combination with lower leaching and processing costs. Full-year CAS per average spot AgEqOz1 of $11.47 were 4% lower than in 2017

6



The concrete foundation for the initial high-pressure grinding roll (“HPGR”) unit and its structural erection were completed in late January 2019. Ore production utilizing the HPGR unit is anticipated to commence in the second quarter, with silver recoveries expected to increase beginning mid-year
Free cash flow1 for the fourth quarter increased to $14.9 million from $2.1 million the prior quarter due to improved production and lower capital expenditures. Full-year free cash flow1 of $23.1 million improved substantially from 2017, largely reflecting the first full year of ore placement at the expanded Stage IV leach pad
Full-year 2019 production is expected to be 4.2 - 5.0 million ounces of silver and 40,000 - 50,000 ounces of gold. Given the timing of the installation of the initial HPGR unit and a new secondary crusher, production is expected to be higher during the second half of the year
CAS in 2019 are expected to be $12.50 - $13.50 per silver ounce and $1,000 - $1,100 per gold ounce
Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $17 - $20 million, including approximately $12 - $15 million associated with the initial HPGR unit

Commercial production at Jualin was declared on December 1, 2018. The figures shown in the table above exclude pre-commercial production. Including pre-commercial production, full-year gold production totaled 113,778 ounces in 2018 and was relatively flat year-over-year
Including pre-commercial production, fourth quarter gold production of 35,335 ounces represented a 32% increase quarter-over-quarter and was slightly higher compared to the same period the prior year, largely driven by additional production from Jualin
Average gold grade increased approximately 24% in the fourth quarter to 0.21 ounces per ton (“oz/t”), compared to 0.17 oz/t in the prior quarter, driven primarily by production from Jualin. Average gold grade of 0.18 oz/t for 2018 was flat year-over-year
Approximately 23,000 tons of development ore and 3,000 tons of stope ore were mined from Jualin during the fourth quarter, yielding production (inclusive of pre-commercial) of nearly 10,500 ounces of gold at a grade of 0.40 oz/t.

7



Adjusted CAS during the fourth quarter declined 23% to $842 per AuOz1, driven primarily by the high-grade production at Jualin. Full-year adjusted CAS per AuOz1 of $1,050, 14% higher compared to 2017, reflected lower recoveries and fewer ounces sold
Negative free cash flow1 of $29.4 million for the year was impacted by increased capital expenditures driven by higher underground development expenditures at Kensington, Jualin and Raven as well as higher mining equipment expenditures
Production in 2019 is expected to be 117,000 - 130,000 ounces of gold
CAS in 2019 are expected to be $950 - $1,050 per ounce
Capital expenditures are expected to be $20 - $25 million in 2019

Gold production decreased 13% quarter-over-quarter to 16,960 ounces in the fourth quarter. This was primarily due to the placement of lower grade ore during the quarter as well as temporary percolation issues resulting in slower-than-anticipated recoveries
For the full year, gold production decreased 19% to 76,840 ounces as a result of unplanned weather-related downtime in the third quarter and timing of leach pad recoveries
Tons placed for the full year reached 4.9 million, up from 4.6 million in 2017 and 4.3 million in 2016
Fourth quarter and full-year adjusted CAS per AuEqOz1 increased 5% and 25%, respectively, to $938 and $876, compared to the prior quarter and 2017, primarily due to lower production levels as well as higher crushing and diesel costs
Free cash flow1 of $8.5 million for the full year was lower than 2017 due to a decline in production resulting from lower average grades and the timing of leach pad recoveries. Since acquiring the operation in February 2015 for $99 million, Wharf has generated $135.7 million of free cash flow1 

8



Production in 2019 is anticipated to be more in line with historical periods, with gold production expected to be 82,000 - 87,000 ounces. CAS are expected to be $850 - $950 per ounce
Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $3 - $5 million in 2019

Silvertip achieved commercial production on September 1, 2018. The operating and financial metrics shown in the table above exclude pre-commercial production
On December 27, 2018, Coeur announced an initial reserve estimate and updated resource estimate. The Company filed a technical report in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 on February 8, 2019
Including pre-commercial production, production of silver, zinc and lead during the fourth quarter increased 48%, 41% and 42%, respectively, compared to the prior quarter. The increases were primarily driven by comparatively higher mill throughput rates compared to previous quarters

9



Although throughput has been slower to ramp up due to mill maintenance projects, the Company continues progressing towards its target of a 1,100 tpd (1,000 mtpd) processing rate by the end of the first quarter
The Company remains focused on improvements in four key areas: (i) mill projects targeting higher availability, (ii) maintenance procedures and systems, (iii) supply chain and procurement, and (iv) employee training and development
Recovery rates continued to improve throughout the fourth quarter and are expected to trend higher as mill consistency improves and the flotation circuit is optimized. Average metal grade is also expected to improve as depleted ore from historic stockpiles is replaced with newly-mined underground material
Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were largely impacted by the first full quarter of commercial production and by a sale-leaseback of the newly-constructed 220-person camp facility
Permitting efforts remain on track to receive approval for the permit amendment application allowing for a year-round mining and milling rate of 1,100 tpd (1,000 mtpd) in early 2019
2019 production is expected to total 1.5 - 2.5 million ounces of silver, 25 - 40 million pounds of zinc and 20 - 35 million pounds of lead
CAS are expected to be $14.00 - $16.00 per ounce of silver, $1.00 - $1.25 per pound of zinc and $0.85 - $1.05 per pound of lead
2019 capital expenditures are expected to total $20 - $25 million

Exploration
During the fourth quarter, Coeur’s exploration activities transitioned from completing key drill programs to updating and refining its geologic models as well as developing strategic priorities for 2019. Expensed resource expansion drilling declined 50% quarter-over-quarter to $4.1 million, while capitalized resource infill drilling declined 35% to $1.5 million. Up to ten drill rigs were active during the quarter, with drilling activity present at Palmarejo, Kensington and Rochester as well as at early-stage projects near Tonopah, Nevada, in northern Chihuahua, Mexico and at the Company’s recently acquired Sterling Gold Project.
At Palmarejo, two drill rigs were active at the end of the year, down from a high of seven during the first quarter. During the first half of the year, resource expansion drilling targeted the La Nación deposit and demonstrated the presence of several zones of thick mineralization (“clavos”). Resource expansion drilling also targeted veins west of Guadalupe and north of Independencia. Infill drilling continued at the Guadalupe and Independencia veins, with results within the Las Animas zone at Guadalupe being a highlight near year-end. Over 244,000 feet (74,500 meters) were drilled at Palmarejo during the year, representing the Company’s largest exploration investment. For 2019, priorities at Palmarejo will shift to resource discovery of new high-grade clavos as well as continued infill on Guadalupe, Independencia and Nación veins.
At Kensington, the Company prioritized resource expansion drilling during 2018. Discovery and expansion drilling focused on the Elmira, Seward and Ophir veins, with a district-wide focus on discovery of high-grade veins similar to Jualin located near existing infrastructure. Infill drilling during the year targeted the Upper Kensington Zone 30 and Raven veins. In the beginning of 2019, the Company expects to initially focus on infill drilling then shift to testing new targets at several areas that were sampled in 2018. Over the course of the year, infill drilling is expected to continue at Kensington Main, Raven and Elmira.
At Rochester, infill drilling slowed during the fourth quarter but remained focused on the main Rochester Pit and surrounding areas, including Northeast Pit and South Charlie. Additionally, exploration efforts were directed at engineering and condemnation drilling for the Plan of Operations Amendment 11 expansion area. In 2019, resource infill drilling will continue and basic target generation work is expected to be completed at the recently acquired Lincoln Hill Project.
At the Sterling Gold Project, acquired in October 2018, two reverse circulation rigs were focused on infill drilling at the Sterling Mine area. Coeur drilled a total of 41 holes during the fourth quarter. Including drilling activity by Northern Empire prior to its acquisition by the Company, a total of 99,291 feet (30,272 meters) were drilled in 2018 with roughly one-third focused on the Sterling Mine and the remaining two-thirds focused on the Crown Block. The Company will prioritize resource expansion in 2019, focused on shallow, low-strip, oxide gold mineralization, initially at the Sterling Mine and shifting to the Crown Block during the second quarter, where drilling is expected to continue for the remainder of the year.

2019 Guidance Framework
Following a comprehensive review of the Company’s historical guidance framework, Coeur is modifying its production and cost guidance framework for 2019. Key changes include:
Elimination of silver equivalence - Production and unit cost guidance will focus on site-level figures by metal rather than silver equivalent units
Change in unit cost methodology - Site-level unit cost figures will be presented on a co-product basis, with the exception of Wharf, which will be presented on a by-product basis
Elimination of all-in-sustaining costs (“AISC”) - The Company will no longer provide guidance or financial reporting on AISC
Price and foreign exchange assumptions - The Company will note key price and foreign exchange assumptions underpinning guidance ranges

Coeur plans to discontinue its reporting of silver equivalent metrics and begin providing cost metrics on a co-product basis (or by-product, in the case of Wharf) in conjunction with its first quarter 2019 financial results. The fourth quarter and full-year 2018 earnings presentation will include historical reconciliations for unit cost metrics for the four quarterly and full-year 2018 periods.

Coeur produces from its wholly-owned operations: the Palmarejo silver-gold complex in Mexico, the Silvertip silver-zinc-lead mine in British Columbia, the Rochester silver-gold mine in Nevada, the Wharf gold mine in South Dakota, and the Kensington gold mine in Alaska. In addition, the Company has interests in several precious metals exploration projects throughout North America.

Christopher Pascoe, Coeur’s Director, Technical Services and a qualified person under Canadian National Instrument 43-101, approved the scientific and technical information concerning Coeur’s mineral projects in this news release. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and resources, as well as data verification procedures and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant factors, Canadian investors should refer to the Technical Reports for each of Coeur’s properties as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver ounce (or per gold ounce), all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted all-in sustaining costs. We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful information to assist management, investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver ounce (or per gold ounce), all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted all-in sustaining costs are important measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance. For additional explanation regarding our use of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, please refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Notes
1.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce (or per gold equivalent ounce or per average spot silver equivalent ounce), adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver ounce (or per gold ounce), all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted all-in sustaining costs are non-GAAP measures. Please see tables in the Appendix for the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and gold production royalty payments. Please see table in Appendix for the calculation of consolidated free cash flow. Silver equivalence assumes silver-to-gold, -lead and -zinc ratios of 60:1, 0.05:1 and 0.06:1, respectively, except where noted as average spot prices. Please see the table below for average applicable spot prices and corresponding ratios. Unit cost guidance on a spot equivalent basis assumes silver-to-gold, -zinc and -lead equivalence ratios of 75:1, 0.09:1 and 0.07:1, respectively.
2.
