Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING
    The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington, Wharf and Silvertip mines. Except for the Silvertip mine, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver. The Silvertip mine, which temporarily suspended mining and processing activities in February 2020, is engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of silver, zinc and lead. Other includes the Sterling/Crown 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 2019 novel strain of coronavirus causing a contagious respiratory disease known as COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, poses a material risk to our business and operations. Early in the second quarter of 2020, we temporarily suspended active mining and processing activities at the Palmarejo complex in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, in accordance with a government decree in response to COVID-19, and we began taking steps to restart active mining, processing and exploration activities at Palmarejo in accordance with updated guidance from the government approximately 45 days later. In addition, as a result of several reported positive COVID-19 cases at our Kensington mine outside of Juneau, Alaska, during the third quarter of 2020 we experienced a minor short-term production impact associated with this situation, which has adversely impacted production and cash flows. We continue to require all employees who travel to the Kensington mine to submit to a 7-day quarantine and testing protocol in Juneau, Alaska before traveling to the mine. We believe this is an important step to protect the health and safety of all workers who stay at the Kensington camp, although it has required changes to worker scheduling and is expected to result in higher labor costs due to additional overtime pay and pay during the quarantine period.
Incremental costs associated with the Company’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols are recorded in Pre-development, reclamation, and other expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are included in Other operating expenses in the table below. Because of the highly uncertain and dynamic nature of events relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not currently possible to estimate the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operating segments. However, these effects could have a material impact on our operations, and we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.
    Financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):
