TEMPORARY INJUNCTION AFFECTS SOME CONSTRUCTION AT KENSINGTON

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — August 25, 2006 — Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM) has been notified that a two judge motions panel in the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has issued a temporary injunction against some construction activities at the Kensington Gold mine site, near Juneau, Alaska, at the request of plaintiffs Southeast Alaska Conservation Council and the Sierra Club. The temporary injunction only impacts work in the tailings facility area.

The temporary injunction applies pending Ninth Circuit Court expedited review of the plaintiffs’ appeal of the recent Alaska Federal District Court decision that dismissed the plaintiffs’ complaint and upheld the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit issued to Coeur for the Kensington tailings facility. The temporary injunction does not address the merits of the plaintiffs’ appeal.

Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “While we are disappointed with the temporary injunction, we continue to believe we will prevail on the merits. The project permits have withstood numerous administrative and legal challenges, and we will continue to vigorously defend the permits that have been granted and upheld by the federal district court.”

Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation is the world’s largest publicly traded primary silver producer and has a strong presence in gold.  The Company has mining interests in Alaska, Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Chile, and Nevada.
