SEGMENT REPORTING
SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo complex, and the Rochester, Kensington, Wharf and Silvertip mines. Except for the Silvertip mine, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver. Silvertip is engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of silver, zinc and lead. Silvertip commenced commercial production in September 2018. Other includes the Sterling and La Preciosa projects, other mineral interests, strategic equity investments, corporate office, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts.
The Company determined that the disposition in the first quarter of 2018 of Empresa Minera Manquiri S.A., a Bolivian Sociedad anonima (“Manquiri”), which operates the San Bartolomé mine, represented a strategic shift to a North America-focused mining portfolio and had significant effect on the entity's results and operations; therefore, the results of operations are presented as discontinued operations in Other for all periods presented.
Financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):

The Company's doré, as well as the concentrate product produced by the Wharf mine, is refined into gold and silver bullion according to benchmark standards set by the LBMA, which regulates the acceptable requirements for bullion traded in the London precious metals markets. The Company then sells its gold and silver bullion to multi-national banks, bullion trading houses, and refiners across the globe. The Company has seven trading counterparties at December 31, 2018. The Company's sales of doré or concentrate product produced by the Palmarejo, Rochester, and Wharf mines amounted to approximately 77%, 78%, and 74% of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. In November 2018, one of the refiners, Republic Metals Corp. (“RMC”), a U.S.-based precious metals refiner, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Approximately 0.4 million ounces of Coeur’s silver and 6,500 ounces of Coeur’s gold was impacted by RMC’s bankruptcy filing. The Company recognized a $6.5 million write-down related to the receivable with RMC.
The Company's gold concentrate product from the Kensington mine and the zinc and lead concentrates from the Silvertip mine are sold under a variety of agreements with smelters and traders, and the smelters and traders pay the Company for the metals recovered from the concentrates. The Company’s sales of concentrate produced by the Kensington and Silvertip mines amounted to approximately 23%, 22%, and 26% of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
The Company believes that the loss of a smelter, refiner, trader or third-party customer would not materially adversely affect the Company due to the liquidity of the markets and current availability of alternative trading counterparties.

The following table indicates customers that represent 10% or more of total sales of metal for at least one of the years December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 (in millions):
