Ramp-up of Rochester Operation Complete;
Maintaining 2024 Production Guidance Ranges
Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today
reported second quarter 2024 financial results, including revenue
of $222 million and cash flow from operating activities of $15
million. The Company reported GAAP net income from continuing
operations of $1 million, or $0.00 per share. On an adjusted
basis1, Coeur reported EBITDA of $52 million, cash flow from
operating activities before changes in working capital of $28
million and net loss from continuing operations of $3 million, or
$0.01 per share.
Key Highlights
- Recently expanded Rochester achieves mid-year target run
rates – Rochester successfully completed ramp-up activities by
achieving throughput rates of over 88,000 tons per day. Annual
throughput levels are expected to be approximately 2.5 times higher
than historical levels, or roughly 32 million tons per year,
leading to expected strong increases in production and free cash
flow and substantially lower unit costs. Rochester’s second quarter
silver and gold production both increased 39% compared to the first
quarter
- Higher prices drove strong revenue and adjusted EBITDA1
increases – The Company’s average realized gold and silver
prices increased by approximately 11% and 10% year-over-year,
respectively. Together with a 76% year-over-year increase in gold
production at Kensington, second quarter revenue increased 25% and
adjusted EBITDA1 jumped 136% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA1 over
the last twelve months increased to $192 million, representing an
89% year-over-year increase
- Continued positive results from Kensington’s multi-year
exploration program – The Company’s June 27, 2024 update
highlighted Kensington’s successful multi-year development and
exploration program, which is expected to be completed in the first
half of 2025 and is targeting a year-end reserves-based mine life
of over five years at year-end 2024 and a return to positive free
cash flow during the second half of next year
- Closed the acquisition of key concessions near Palmarejo
– On July 8, 2024, the purchase of two strategic blocks of mining
concessions adjacent to the Palmarejo gold-silver complex was
completed. The purchase from a subsidiary of Fresnillo plc
(“Fresnillo”) unlocks significant near-term and longer-term
potential to extend Palmarejo’s mine life to the east of the
existing operation
- Hedging program concluded - The Company’s gold and
silver hedging program that was utilized during the construction
and ramp-up of Rochester was completed during the second quarter;
Coeur is fully exposed to commodity prices going forward
- Silvertip summer exploration program now underway - The
robust 2024 program includes large step-out drilling on known
structures, significant mapping and sampling, and geophysics to
rapidly explore a wider portion of the permitted ground. The
program aims to grow near-mine resources through underground
drilling, take large step-outs on known structures to assist with
rapid resource growth, identify the outer edges of the system, and
identify additional, nearby structures with potential to host
mineralization similar to Silvertip
- 2024 production guidance ranges maintained; cost guidance
adjusted - The Company is maintaining its full-year production
guidance ranges of 310,000 - 355,000 gold ounces and 10.7 - 13.3
million silver ounces. Full-year CAS1 guidance at Palmarejo and
Wharf have been reduced to reflect strong cost management efforts,
while Rochester’s second half CAS1 guidance ranges have been
increased to reflect timing of ounces placed under leach.
Additionally, the Company is increasing its full-year exploration
guidance to reflect additional investment at Wharf and Kensington
based on recent results, while capital expenditure guidance is
being increased to reflect the accelerated timing of certain
equipment purchases and final payments related to the Rochester
expansion
“The entire portfolio is hitting on all cylinders as we approach
the second half free cash flow inflection point following the
successful mid-year ramp-up of Rochester,” said Mitchell J. Krebs,
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Improved
operating performance at Kensington was especially noteworthy as
operational improvements and capital investments over the last
two-plus years begin to take hold. Our Palmarejo operation in
Mexico has also taken a major step forward with two large,
newly-acquired concession blocks that create a highly prospective
and contiguous land package to the east of existing operations and
outside the gold stream area of interest, which now becomes a key
focus of exploration going forward.
“Rochester now stands on the threshold of a sustained period of
strong free cash flow generation beginning in the second half of
this year, while Kensington continues to move toward its own
anticipated return to free cash flow generation in the second half
of 2025. Coupled with the near-term growth opportunities at
Palmarejo East and at our Wharf operation, along with the
longer-term potential at Silvertip, Coeur’s portfolio is
well-positioned for success. Planned debt reduction efforts are set
to further enhance our unique positioning within our sector as a
multi-asset portfolio concentrated in top-tier jurisdictions with
unmatched leverage to silver and significant cash flow growth
driven by elevated levels of investments over the past five
years.”

Financial Results
Second quarter 2024 revenue totaled $222 million compared to
$213 million in the prior period and $177 million in the second
quarter of 2023. The Company produced 78,696 and 2.6 million ounces
of gold and silver, respectively, during the quarter. Metal sales
for the quarter totaled 76,932 ounces of gold and 2.6 million
ounces of silver. Average realized gold and silver prices for the
quarter were $2,003 and $26.20 per ounce, respectively, compared to
$1,864 and $23.57 per ounce in the prior period and $1,809 and
$23.91 per ounce in the second quarter of 2023.
Gold and silver sales represented 69% and 31% of quarterly
revenue, respectively, compared to 71% and 29% in the prior period.
The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 63% of
second quarter revenue compared to 55% in the first quarter of
2024.
Costs applicable to sales2 decreased 1% quarter-over-quarter to
$145 million, largely due to lower production in the period.
General and administrative expenses decreased 22%
quarter-over-quarter to $11 million largely driven by annual
incentive payouts in the prior period.
Coeur invested approximately $18 million ($13 million expensed
and $5 million capitalized) in exploration during the quarter,
compared to roughly $14 million ($11 million expensed and $3
million capitalized) in the prior period. See the “Operations” and
“Exploration” sections for additional detail on the Company’s
exploration activities.
The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $7
million during the second quarter. Cash income and mining taxes
paid during the period totaled approximately $4 million.
Quarterly operating cash flow totaled $15 million compared to
$(16) million in the prior period, mainly driven by stronger
operating performance at Rochester, Kensington and Wharf as well as
favorable changes in working capital, reflecting the timing of tax
payments in Mexico and semi-annual interest payments on the
Company’s 2029 5.125% Senior Notes in the previous period.
Second quarter capital expenditures were $51 million compared to
$42 million in the prior period, reflecting timing of payments
related to the Rochester expansion as well as increased underground
mine development at Kensington. Sustaining and development capital
expenditures accounted for approximately $31 million and $20
million, or 60% and 40%, respectively, of Coeur’s total capital
investment during the quarter.
Fresnillo Concessions Transaction
On July 8, 2024, Coeur closed the purchase of mining concessions
adjacent to the Palmarejo gold-silver complex located in the state
of Chihuahua, Mexico from Fresnillo for total cash consideration of
$25 million, including $10 million paid at closing, $10 million to
be paid in 2025, $5 million to be paid in 2026 and a future royalty
on certain ounces discovered on the purchased concessions. This
transaction completes Coeur’s district scale land package from the
existing operations to the Guazapares area to the Eastern Palmarejo
district, filling in two strategic gaps and forming a single
contiguous district spanning over 40,000 acres of highly
prospective and under-explored ground that sits outside the
Franco-Nevada gold stream area of interest.
The set of acquired concessions located nearest the existing
operation — the Independencia Sur claim block — covers the
southeast extensions of the Independencia and La Nacion veins where
mining currently takes place and is expected to be a key focus of
the Company’s near-term development efforts. Historical drilling by
Fresnillo, mainly along the Independencia vein, comprises
approximately 82,000 meters from 111 drillholes. Very little
drilling was undertaken along the strike extension of the La Nacion
structure and is a high priority for drilling. Other veins,
including Portales and Bruno, comprise additional targets for drill
testing. No resource estimation under Item 1300 of SEC Regulation
S-K currently exists on the property.
Coeur began mapping and surface sampling of the Independencia
Sur vein structures in 2023, which have successfully traced the
surface expression of the known veins. Future work is initially
expected to consist of re-logging drillholes, additional detailed
surface mapping and sampling, and incorporation of data into
district geographic information system and geologic models. The
Company plans to undertake an initial drill program to validate
historic drilling and refine targets, with a subsequent expansion
program followed by a maiden resource estimate.
The set of acquired concessions located further to the northeast
surrounds multiple targets containing mineralization and historic
resources, portions of which were added through Coeur’s 2015
acquisition of Paramount Gold and Silver. These concessions are
part of a larger and unexplored east Palmarejo district and are
expected to be part of a systematic exploration program to
consolidate previous exploration on Coeur’s claims, including
confirmation and step-out drilling of several advanced targets on
the old Paramount claims onto the new Fresnillo claims.
Another northwest trending, sub-parallel trend to Independencia
Sur and Guazapares exists between these two areas known as the El
Camuchin - Escondida trend. Detailed mapping and sampling over the
last two years have outlined several key targets on this trend, one
of which is planned to be drilled this year.

Operational
- Second quarter gold and silver production totaled 25,467 and
1.6 million ounces, respectively, compared to 33,160 and 1.8
million ounces in the prior period and 23,216 and 1.6 million
ounces in the second quarter of 2023
- Lower production during the quarter was driven primarily by
lower throughput due to mine sequencing and decreased average
recoveries, partially offset by higher average silver grade
Financial
- Adjusted CAS1 for gold and silver on a co-product basis
increased 12% and 16% quarter-over-quarter to $1,006 and $15.24 per
ounce, respectively, driven by lower metal sales
- Capital expenditures decreased 13% quarter-over-quarter to $6
million, reflecting decreased fleet investment, partially offset by
higher underground development primarily focused on Hidalgo which
is expected to create additional operating flexibility in the
latter part of 2024
- Free cash flow1 in the second quarter totaled $18 million
compared to $19 million in the prior period
Exploration
- Exploration investment for the second quarter remained
relatively consistent to the prior quarter at approximately $3
million (substantially all expensed)
- Up to five rigs were active during the quarter, mainly focused
on the Zapata - Guadalupe corridor, expansion drilling along the
western extension of the Hidalgo corridor, and targets within
Hidalgo and structures parallel to Independencia
- Drilling along strike of La Libertad is encountering favorable
host rocks and hydrothermal quartz-calcite vein and breccia zones
west of mine resources with drilling ongoing
- At the Zapata - Guadalupe target, drilling confirmed the
westward strike extensions of the Guadalupe North and Zapata veins
and revealed a new structure with promising indications of
additional mineralization. This zone is showing excellent potential
for future resource expansion
- Exploration efforts continue immediately east of the current
operation and outside of the area subject to the gold stream.
Mapping has identified brecciated and silicified veins southeast of
existing operations, which are believed to run parallel to the
primary vein systems currently being mined nearby
- Ongoing geological mapping in the Guazapares area to the east
of Palmarejo has successfully identified new vein extensions and
parallel structures, signaling promising prospects for future
exploration
Other
- Approximately 29% of Palmarejo’s gold sales in the second
quarter were sold under the gold stream agreement at a price of
$800 per ounce, totaling 7,021 ounces. The Company anticipates
approximately 30% - 40% of Palmarejo’s 2024 gold sales will be sold
under the gold stream agreement
Guidance
- Full-year 2024 production is expected to be 95,000 - 103,000
ounces of gold and 5.9 - 6.7 million ounces of silver
- CAS1 in 2024 are expected to be $950 - $1,150 per gold ounce
and $15.50 - $16.50 per silver ounce (previously $1,075 - $1,275
per gold ounce and $16.50 - $17.50 per silver ounce)
- Capital expenditures are expected to be $27 - $37 million
(previously $32 - $42 million), consisting primarily of sustaining
capital and underground development

Operational
- Silver and gold production in the second quarter totaled
973,057 and 8,006 ounces, respectively, compared to 699,190 and
5,755 ounces in the prior period and 682,656 and 6,314 ounces in
the second quarter of 2023. Average silver grade increased by 13%
and 40% compared to the previous period and the second quarter of
2023, respectively
- The Company successfully completed the ramp-up of all three
stages of the crushing circuit by the end the second quarter by
achieving throughput rates of over 88,000 tons per day. Ore tons
placed increased 63% quarter-over-quarter to 5.1 million tons,
including approximately 4.3 million tons through the new crushing
circuit and placed on the stage 6 leach pad and roughly 0.8 million
tons of run-of-mine material placed on the legacy stage 4 leach
pad. Crushing and placement rates were lighter than initially
planned for the full quarter primarily driven by down days to
address ramp-up related adjustments that were identified while
mining rates exceeded plan
Financial
- Second quarter adjusted CAS1 for silver and gold on a
co-product basis totaled $21.58 and $1,813 per ounce, respectively,
mainly driven by increased tons placed from the newly expanded
operation as Coeur ramped up production
- Capital expenditures increased 30% quarter-over-quarter to $28
million, reflecting an earlier-than-expected conclusion of final
negotiations with the key construction contractor and corresponding
earlier payment of costs originally estimated to take place in
2025
- Free cash flow1 in the second quarter totaled $(33) million
compared to $(40) million in the prior period
Exploration
- Exploration investment in the second quarter totaled
approximately $2 million ($1.0 million expensed and $0.9 million
capitalized) compared to roughly $1 million ($0.4 million expensed
and $0.1 million capitalized) in the prior quarter
- One diamond rig commenced drilling at Rochester during the
quarter. The rig is drilling from the east side of the Rochester
pit to test the Wedge area located adjacent to the pit for
potential grade enhancement opportunities in the Wedge area and on
structures in the East Rochester portion of the deposit
- Second quarter activities also included preparation for
additional 2024 drill programs, core and RC chip re-logging,
interpretation and geological modeling, with a new geology model
for Nevada Packard underway. This work is expected to refine
understanding on the controls to mineralization at this deposit and
guide remaining 2024 drill planning
- The primary focus of drilling over the balance of 2024 is the
assessment of the potential for higher grades on structures
identified at Rochester East, immediately east of the pit wall, and
Nevada Packard. Near-term exploration objectives aim to augment the
grade profile of the current 16-year reserves-only mine life with
the goal of enhancing cash flow
Guidance
- Full-year 2024 production is expected to be 4.8 - 6.6 million
ounces of silver and 37,000 - 50,000 ounces of gold
- CAS1 for the second half of 2024 are expected to be $18.00 -
$20.00 per silver ounce and $1,500 - $1,700 per gold ounce
(previously $14.00 - $16.00 per silver ounce and $1,200 - $1,400
per gold ounce)
- Capital expenditures are expected to be $61 - $79 million
(previously $50 - $70 million), which reflects fleet enhancements
as part of the ramp-up of the newly completed Rochester expansion
as well as sustaining capital and an earlier-than-expected
conclusion to certain final negotiations and payments related to
the Rochester expansion that were originally estimated to take
place in 2025

Operational
- Gold production in the second quarter totaled 23,202 ounces
compared to 21,434 ounces in the prior period and 13,193 ounces in
the second quarter of 2023
- Higher production during the quarter was driven by increased
tons milled and higher average recoveries
Financial
- Second quarter adjusted CAS1 totaled $1,734 per ounce compared
to $1,840 per ounce in the prior period, reflecting increased metal
sales
- Capital expenditures increased 24% quarter-over-quarter to $17
million. Capital expenditures during the quarter continued to focus
on capital development to support the ongoing multi-year
development and exploration program aimed at extending mine
life
- Free cash flow1 in the second quarter totaled $(24) million
compared to $(12) million in the prior period
Exploration
- Exploration investment in the quarter totaled approximately $6
million ($1 million expensed and $4 million capitalized), compared
to $4 million ($2 million expensed and $3 million capitalized) in
the prior period
- Up to four rigs were active at Kensington, with drilling
focused on both infill and extension of the current resource
boundaries
- At the recently identified Zone 50 in Lower Kensington,
drilling continues to show significant growth of the zone, both
along strike and down dip
- At Elmira, expansion and infill drilling activities are
ongoing, with consistent intersection of broad zones of
mineralization, especially notable in the upper sections of the
deposit. Elmira Main and Elmira South have now been connected, and
recent results in Elmira South suggest that the Elmira Main
structure splits into a hanging wall and a footwall structure. Both
structures are being traced along strike, with mineralization
observed throughout the zone between them. Additionally, detailed
structure modelling is also continuing, with the Elmira deposit
model now almost complete
- Overall drilling at Kensington continues to demonstrate
meaningful progress toward building a reserve base to support mine
life for at least the next five years
Guidance
- Full-year 2024 production is expected to be 92,000 - 106,000
gold ounces
- CAS1 in 2024 are expected to be $1,525 - $1,725 per gold
ounce
- Capital expenditures are expected to be $63 - $68 million
(previously $44 - $56 million), of which approximately $33 - $39
million (previously $23 - $29 million) and $6 - $13 million
(previously $5 - $10 million) is related to accelerated rates of
underground development and infill drilling, respectively, as part
of the Company’s successful multi-year exploration program

Operational
- Gold production in the second quarter increased 8%
quarter-over-quarter to 22,021 ounces, largely due to timing of
ounces placed on the leach pads. Year-over-year production for the
quarter decreased 14%
Financial
- Adjusted CAS1 on a by-product basis decreased 29%
quarter-over-quarter to $822 per ounce, largely driven by favorable
recovery rates from legacy pads
- Capital expenditures increased slightly quarter-over-quarter to
approximately $1 million
- Free cash flow1 in the second quarter totaled $16 million
compared to $11 million in the prior period, reflecting higher gold
sales and decreased costs
Exploration
- Exploration investment during the quarter totaled $1 million
(substantially all expensed) compared to $0.1 million
(substantially all expensed) in the prior quarter
- During the second quarter, exploration drilling commenced at
the Juno deposit with one rig active
- Recently-completed studies of two areas within existing and
historical mining zones at Wharf have identified opportunities to
meaningfully extend overall mine life. Supplemental funding has
been approved for a two-phased drilling program in 2024 and 2025 to
test the two targets, Juno and North Foley
Guidance
- Full-year 2024 production is expected to be 86,000 - 96,000
gold ounces
- CAS1 in 2024 are expected to be $950 - $1,050 per gold ounce
(previously $1,100 - $1,200 per gold ounce)
- Capital expenditures are expected to be $5 - $7 million
Exploration
The Company’s exploration investment in 2024 is now expected to
total $40 - $50 million for expansion drilling (classified as
exploration expense) and $15 - $20 million (previously $7 - $13
million) for infill drilling (capitalized exploration). The
full-year guidance range for infill drilling has been increased to
reflect additional exploration investment at Wharf to drill the
Juno and North Foley targets and at Kensington to continue drilling
in zones in Upper and Lower Kensington.
Top exploration priorities for the Company’s 2024 exploration
program include: (1) building reserves and extending mine life at
Kensington to over five years by year-end; (2) pursuing higher
grade structures at Rochester to enhance the near-term margin and
cash flow profile of the newly-expanded operation; (3) building out
a robust pipeline of inferred resources at Palmarejo to potentially
drive future reserve growth; (4) further extending Wharf’s
reserve-based mine life; and (5) expanding and enhancing the
understanding of the evolving world-class polymetallic Silvertip
system located in British Columbia.
During the second quarter, Coeur invested approximately $18
million ($13 million expensed and $5 million capitalized), compared
to roughly $14 million ($11 million expensed and $3 million
capitalized) in the prior period.
At Silvertip, exploration investment totaled approximately $6
million in the second quarter, compared to $5 million in the prior
period. The Company expects to invest $11 - $14 million in
exploration at Silvertip in 2024, which excludes $15 - $20 million
related to underground mine development and site support costs.
The objectives of the 2024 exploration program at Silvertip are
to (1) grow the known mineralized structures such as the Southern
Silver zone from underground drilling focusing on along-strike and
down-dip potential that has been identified; (2) drill much larger
step-outs on major structures using surface drilling with a key
focus on the Southern Silver, Saddle and Camp Creek zones; and (3)
carry out district-scale field work to identify Silvertip
lookalikes and other large structures with potential to host large
ore bodies and to identify the outer limits of this large
system.
2024 Guidance
The Company has reaffirmed its 2024 production guidance. Due to
strong operational performance and cost control measures, Coeur has
lowered cost guidance at Palmarejo and Wharf.
With the ramp-up of the new Merrill-Crowe facility and
three-stage crusher corridor at Rochester completed, the Company
has provided updated cost guidance for Rochester for the second
half of 2024, which is reflected below. In addition, Coeur was able
to conclude final negotiations with the key construction contractor
during the second quarter, leading to an increase in expected 2024
development capital expenditures as certain costs that were
originally planned for 2025 were paid during the second quarter.
The Company has now paid $725 million of the total $730 million
capital cost of the expansion.
Coeur has increased its planned exploration program at Wharf as
the Company has identified opportunities to extend mine life at the
Juno and North Foley deposits as well as at Kensington. The below
exploration expense guidance excludes $15 - $20 million of
underground mine development and support costs associated with
Silvertip.

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), operating cash
flow before changes in working capital and adjusted costs
applicable to sales per ounce (gold and silver) or pound (zinc or
lead). 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) and adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce
(gold and silver) and pound (zinc and lead) 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, 2023.
