COEUR COMPLETES PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED
FINANCING TRANSACTION

     COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — June 3, 2002 — Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE) announced today that it has closed the previously announced financing in which it privately issued $21.5 million principal amount of a new series of 13 3/8% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due December 31, 2003 (“New Series Notes”) for net proceeds of $16.0 million. Furthermore, the Company, in accordance with its obligations to the purchasers of the New Series Notes, is filing today a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the New Series Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof for resale under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Notes have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

     Proceeds from the transaction will be used to retire the outstanding $9.4 million of 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due June 10, 2002 and for general corporate purposes. The New Series Notes were issued on similar terms, subject to certain contingent provisions, as the Company’s currently outstanding 13 3/8% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due December 31, 2003.

     Coeur is a leading low-cost international silver producer, as well as a significant producer of gold. The Company has mining interests in Nevada, Idaho, Alaska, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. For more information, visit Coeur’s website at www.coeur.com.
