Kensington's gold production increased 25% versus prior quarter

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 2013-- Coeur Mining, Inc. (the “Company” or “Coeur”) (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM) announced it produced 4.2 million ounces of silver and 63,763 ounces of gold during the third quarter of 2013. These production levels represent a decrease of 10% for silver and an increase of 5% for gold compared to the second quarter. Production at both Palmarejo and San Bartolomé were consistent with the second quarter. Kensington's gold production increased 25% over the second quarter of 2013 due to an increase in tons milled and higher gold grades. Rochester's production during the quarter was negatively impacted by the completion of several expansion-related projects, which are expected to lead to significantly higher production levels in the fourth quarter and next year.

2013 Outlook

The Company reaffirmed its full-year 2013 consolidated production guidance of 18.0-19.1 million ounces of silver and 250,000-258,000 ounces of gold.

2013 Production Outlook

Mitchell Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our third quarter operating performance demonstrates further consistency at Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, and Kensington, and represents a critical turning point for Rochester. The completion of recent capital investments in the existing heap leach pads and in the operation's crushing capacity, along with the substantial increase in reserves announced last month, support the high-return, long-term growth profile we expect to achieve at Rochester. Maintaining our full-year total production guidance within the range provided at the beginning of 2013 reflects our enhanced technical and operating capabilities and our ability to better execute against our plan.”
