NEWS RELEASE

Coeur Mining, Inc. Prices New Senior Notes

Chicago, Illinois – May 19, 2017 – Coeur Mining, Inc. (the “Company” or “Coeur”) (NYSE: CDE) today announced the pricing of its offering (the “Offering”) of U.S. $250,000,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The coupon of the Notes will be 5.875% per year from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually in arrears. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2024. The Offering is expected to close on or about May 31, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the purchase price and tender premium for up to all $178.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders and accepted by the Company in connection with the cash tender offer that it commenced on May 19, 2017 (the “Concurrent Tender Offer”), to pay the redemption price to redeem any of the 2021 Notes that are not so tendered in the Concurrent Tender Offer and to pay the fees and expenses in connection with the Offering, the Concurrent Tender Offer and any redemption of the 2021 Notes. To the extent that the Company has excess proceeds from the Offering, the Company intends to use such excess amounts for general corporate purposes.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.  Upon the closing of the offering of the Notes, the Company, the guarantors of the Notes and the initial purchaser will enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company and the guarantors will agree to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for a new issue of Notes of the same series registered under the Securities Act.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the Notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This news release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
