              AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FORM 8-K FILED NOVEMBER 5, 1996

     On November 5, 1996,  Coeur d'Alene  Mines  Corporation  (the  "Company")
filed a Current  Report on Form 8-K reporting its  acquisition on September 4,
1996, of the remaining 49% of the shares of Compania  Minera CDE El Bronce,  a
Chilean  corporation  ("CDE El  Bronce"),  as a result  of which  the  Company
increased its ownership interest in CDE El Bronce to 100%.

     As a result  of a review  conducted  in  Chile  by the  Company  with the
assistance of its outside independent auditing firm last week, the Company has
determined that upon the preparation of the CDE El Bronce financial statements
in conformance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,  all of the
conditions  specified  in Rule  1-02(w)  of  Regulation  S-X fall  below  20%.
Consequently,  pursuant to 3-05(b)(2) of Regulation S-X, as recently  amended,
financial statements and pro forma financial information pursuant to Item 7 of
Form 8-K relating to the acquisition are not required. Accordingly, paragraphs
(a)  and  (b)  of  Item  7  of  the  Form  8-K  are   amended  to  report  the
inapplicability thereof. No change is being made in paragraph (c) of Item 7.


Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

     (a)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED. Not applicable

     (b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Not applicable

     (c)  EXHIBITS. The following exhibits are filed herewith:

          10(a)   Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Shares,  dated August
                  30, 1996, by Compania Minera El Bronce to CDE Chilean Mining
                  Corporation and Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation.

          10(b)   Amendment,  dated  August 30,  1996,  to Purchase  and Sale,
                  Cancellation   and  Receipt  of  Payment  of  Purchase  Sale
                  Installments and Release of Mortgage,  Chattel Mortgages and
                  Prohibitions  between Compania Minera El Bronce and Compania
                  Minera CDE El Bronce.
