 2022 Proxy Statement Highlights  May 2022 
 

 This presentation contains forward‐looking statements within the meaning of securities legislation in the United States and Canada, including statements regarding executive compensation program components and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives and expectations regarding Coeur Mining, Inc.’s (“Coeur’s”) mining properties. Such forward‐looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause Coeur's actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward‐looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in developing large‐scale mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather, or geologically related conditions), changes in the market prices of gold, silver, zinc, and lead, and a sustained lower price or higher treatment and refining charge environment, the uncertainties inherent in Coeur's production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays (including the impact of government shutdowns), ground conditions, grade and recovery rate variability, any future labor disputes, or work stoppages, the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, changes that could result from Coeur's future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, the loss or insolvency of any third‐party smelter to which Coeur markets its production, the effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, the effects of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, Coeur's ability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its debt as well as other uncertainties and risk factors set out in filings made from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Canadian securities regulators, including, without limitation, Coeur's most recent report on Form 10‐K. Actual results, developments, and timetables could vary significantly from the estimates presented. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward looking statements. Coeur disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly such forward‐looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Additionally, Coeur undertakes no obligation to comment on analyses, expectations, or statements made by third parties in respect of Coeur, its financial or operating results or its securities.  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 adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce. 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 adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and adjusted costs applicable to sales are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance. 
 

 Mineral Reserves and Resources  Coeur is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves and mineral resources according to two different standards. U.S. reporting requirements, are governed by Item 1300 of Regulation S-K (‘‘S-K 1300’’), as issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-10 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (‘‘NI 43-101’’), as adopted from the definitions provided by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but the standards embody slightly different approaches and definitions.  In Coeur’s public filings in the U.S. and Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we disclose proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in S-K 1300. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves, and therefore investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into S-K 1300-compliant reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.

 2021 Performance Highlights  See non-GAAP reconciliation tables in the appendix to this presentation.  In 2021, we delivered strong financial and operating results while advancing key strategic initiatives to unlock long-term value for stockholders. The health and safety of our employees and the communities where we operate, as well as the protection of the environment, continued to be our top priorities, and we are proud of year-over-year reductions in injury rates and achieving zero permit discharge exceedances in 2021. Finally, the Company’s largest-ever exploration program identified new and significant discoveries while increasing Companywide reserves to record levels. 
 

 2021 Executive Compensation Philosophy  (1) The three internal performance share metrics are subject to a relative TSR modifier that adjusts payouts +/- 25% for top or bottom quartile performance compared to peers.  (2) Tied to achievement of Rochester and Silvertip expansion project milestones (split 20% Rochester and 10% Silvertip).  (3) In 2022, we introduced a performance share metric under the LTIP tied to achievement of our public GHG emissions net intensity reduction goal.  ► Drive performance against critical strategic goals designed to create long-term stockholder value  ► Pay our executives at a level and in a manner that attracts, motivates and retains top executive talent 
 

 2021 Executive Compensation Practices 
 

 2021 CEO Compensation Tied to Stockholder Returns  57% of compensation linked to stock performance  (Based 100% on   Company Performance) 
 

 2021 Compensation Results Aligned with Performance 
 

 2021 Compensation Results Aligned with Performance (cont.) 
 

 2021 Executive Compensation – Realized Pay  Coeur’s multiyear performance-linked pay aligned with stockholder returns  Our NEO compensation program is structurally designed to be a strong performance-based program. In the case of the CEO, 81% of his target compensation is structured to be delivered through some form of performance-based or “at-risk” compensation; only 19% is fixed, delivered through base salary.  This graph demonstrates alignment by showing three-year target value for performance and “at-risk” elements as well as the actual value realized from those compensation elements, equal to   actual 2019-2021 AIP, plus   the value of the PSUs for the 2019-2021 performance period that paid out in early 2022, valued as of December 31, 2021, the last date of the performance period, plus   the value of restricted stock granted in 2019, 2020 and 2019, valued as of December 31, 2021, including shares not yet vested.   The CEO’s actual value of compensation from performance based and “at-risk” elements was 11% lower than the target value. During this same period, our stock price increased by 13%. We believe this demonstrates alignment of pay and performance. 
 

 2021 Executive Compensation – Realizable Pay  Coeur’s realizable pay aligned with stockholder returns  Realizable pay measures the compensation value that could be realized by executives over a given time period, taking into account the change in Company stock price during that time and whether performance shares are earned based on achievement of performance targets.   This chart illustrates three-year realizable total compensation for our CEO at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. The one-year difference between compensation values (a 47% YOY decline), particularly due to realizable long-term compensation calculated using a $10.35 stock price as of December 31, 2020 and a stock price of $5.04 as of December 31, 2021, is significant and is in line with negative 51% TSR for 2021.  The three-year realizable total compensation value for each period is calculated using (1) actual base salary and cash bonus paid for the applicable year, (2) the value of target performance shares payable and actual performance shares issued for the three-year period then ended, valued as of December 31 and (3) the value of restricted stock granted for the three-year period then ended, valued as of December 31, including shares not yet vested.  TSR was negative 51% for 2021 and our CEO’s realizable pay was 47% lower at December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020. We believe this also demonstrates alignment of pay and performance. 
 

 Continued Strong Stockholder Engagement in 2021  References to “materiality” here should not be construed as a characterization of the materiality or financial impact of that information with respect to our company.  What we heard from stockholders  What we did  Continue to enhance  ESG profile, initiatives and  disclosures, including related to  climate change  ► Published our second Responsibility Report during 2021 including mapping to SASB and GRI, introducing specific, objective ESG goals, and an initial alignment to TCFD  ► Established a Climate Working Group in 2021 to lead climate strategy, including scenario analysis and incorporating results in our business planning and strategy  ► Conducted ESG “double materiality”1 assessment in 2021 with input from community members and stockholders; results, reviewed by the board, informed our updated material topics list  ► Safety and environmental weighting increased from 15% to 20% for the 2020 and 2021 AIP  ► Further strengthened commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, including hosting CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Day of Understanding events throughout the organization  ► Added performance share award tied to achievement of our public GHG emission net intensity reduction goal to 2022 executive compensation program  Prioritize protection of  employees and communities  amid COVID-19  ► Acted quickly and decisively to protect employees and communities at the onset of the pandemic  ► No COVID-driven layoffs or furloughs  ► Recipient of 2021 NIOSH Mine Safety & Health Technology Innovations Award  ► Donated PPE and other supplies to local communities  ► Medical clinic at Palmarejo mine in Mexico remained open and free to the public  ► Facilitated transition to remote working for corporate and other professional staff implemented safety protocols, contact tracing technology and testing to allow employees to return to the corporate office on a voluntary basis and in compliance with local rules and laws 
 

 Continued Strong Stockholder Engagement in 2021 (cont.)  What we heard from stockholders  What we did  Link executive compensation  program to driving long-term  stockholder value  ► Made 100% of the core measures of our performance share program drivers of stockholder value, with metrics tied to growth in reserves and resources, ROIC and critical, long-term projects including the Rochester expansion discussed above; retained relative TSR as a modifier  Emphasis on culture and human  capital management  ► Reported results of our 2021 culture survey and assessment to management and our Board and took action to address areas of opportunity to improve  ► Continued strengthening recruiting and development initiatives despite COVID-related challenges  Include directors in stockholder  engagement calls  ► Our independent directors, including our Chairman and the Chairs of our Board committees, are made available to engage directly with stockholders as part of our annual stockholder outreach program
