"Thanks to the team’s dedication and incredible effort, we finished 2024 with a second consecutive quarter of strong earnings and positive free cash flow, leaving us well-positioned to deliver record operational and financial results in 2025," said Mitchell J. Krebs, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As expected, 2024 represented an inflection point for the Company. While completing the Rochester expansion, announcing the proposed acquisition of SilverCrest, transitioning to positive free cash flow, and beginning to pay down debt were key drivers to a successful year, our other operations delivered strong results worth highlighting. Wharf generated the highest free cash flow in its 42-year history, Palmarejo delivered its highest free cash flow in seven years, and Kensington increased its gold production by 13% while decreasing its unit costs by 8% year-over-year and is targeting a return to positive free cash flow in 2025. Together with the first full year of contribution from the Rochester expansion and the addition of the newly acquired high-grade, low-cost Las Chispas operation, we anticipate delivering sharp increases in production, EBITDA and free cash flow, which will allow us to continue aggressively deleveraging the balance sheet.

"As highlighted in our reserves and resources update yesterday, we continue to see positive results from our sustained commitment to brownfield exploration over the past several years. At Kensington, we achieved our stated goal of establishing a five-year proven and probable reserve mine life. We also significantly expanded the inferred resource pipelines at Palmarejo and Wharf, which bode well for future meaningful mine life extensions. In 2025, we will continue our commitment to generating returns through the drill bit with another year of robust exploration investment.

"With the closing of the SilverCrest transaction last week, we’re delighted to welcome the Las Chispas team to the Company, and to have Eric Fier and Pierre Beaudoin join our Board of Directors. Although the first quarter will reflect several one-time transaction costs, seasonally lower production levels, and only six weeks of contribution from Las Chispas, we look forward to delivering the best year in Coeur Mining’s history in 2025 at a time when the outlook for silver and gold remains incredibly positive."

Financial and Operating Highlights (Unaudited)

Financial Results

Fourth quarter 2024 revenue totaled $305 million compared to $314 million in the prior period and $262 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company produced 87,149 and 3.2 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, during the quarter. Metal sales for the quarter totaled 85,555 ounces of gold and 3.2 million ounces of silver. Average realized gold and silver prices for the quarter were $2,399 and $31.11 per ounce, respectively, compared to $2,309 and $29.86 per ounce in the prior period and $1,886 and $24.79 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Coeur generated $1.1 billion in revenue in 2024, compared to $821 million in 2023. Full-year gold and silver production totaled 341,582 and 11.4 million ounces, respectively, compared to 317,671 ounces of gold and 10.3 million ounces of silver in 2023. Metal sales in 2024 included 340,816 and 11.4 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively. Average realized gold and silver prices for the year were $2,156 and $27.95 per ounce, respectively, compared to $1,825 and $24.21 per ounce in 2023.

Gold and silver sales represented 67% and 33% of quarterly revenue, respectively. For the full year, gold and silver sales accounted for 70% and 30% of revenue, respectively. The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 71% and 64% in the fourth quarter and full-year revenue, respectively.

Adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce¹ of gold and silver increased 7% and 8% quarter-over-quarter, respectively, largely due to lower gold production in the period as well as lower silver production at Palmarejo, partially offset by higher production at Rochester. General and administrative expenses remained consistent quarter-over-quarter at $11 million.

Coeur invested approximately $20 million ($17 million expensed and $4 million capitalized) in exploration during the quarter, compared to approximately $25 million ($20 million expensed and $5 million capitalized) in the prior period. For the full year, the Company invested approximately $77 million ($60 million expensed and $17 million capitalized) compared to roughly $41 million ($31 million expensed and $10 million capitalized) in 2023. See the "Operations" and "Exploration" sections for additional detail on the Company’s exploration activities.

The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $18 million and $67 million during the fourth quarter and for the full year, respectively. Cash income and mining taxes paid during the period totaled approximately $12 million, bringing the full-year total to $45 million. Cash taxes paid in 2024 primarily reflect income and mining tax payments in Mexico. Coeur expects to pay approximately $75 - $85 million in cash taxes during the first quarter of 2025 primarily as a result of the strong operational performance at Palmarejo and the newly acquired Las Chispas operation.

Quarterly operating cash flow totaled $64 million compared to $111 million in the prior period. For the full year, operating cash flow nearly tripled to $174 million mainly driven by strong operational performance in the second half of 2024.

Fourth quarter capital expenditures were $48 million compared to $42 million in the prior period, bringing the full-year total to $183 million and within Coeur’s 2024 guidance range of $160 - $200 million. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately $41 million and $7 million, or 85% and 15%, respectively, of Coeur’s total capital investment during the quarter.

The Company expects to generate negative free cash flow during the first quarter due to one-time outflows, including the previously mentioned $75 - $85 million in cash taxes, annual incentive plan payments, semi-annual interest on the Company’s 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029, Rochester property taxes and SilverCrest transaction-related costs.

SilverCrest Acquisition Transaction

On February 14, 2025, Coeur closed on the acquisition of SilverCrest in an all-equity transaction. The acquisition positions Coeur as a leading global silver company by adding the high-grade, low-cost Las Chispas silver and gold operation in Sonora, Mexico to Coeur’s portfolio. Based upon the closing stock price of Coeur’s stock on February 14, 2025, the issuance of approximately 239 million shares in the transaction implied an acquisition value of $1.58 billion.

The Company expects prorated production reflecting 10.5 months of the year for Las Chispas to be 42,500 - 52,500 ounces of gold and 4.25 - 5.25 million ounces of silver.

Coeur intends to apply SilverCrest’s cash and proceeds from the monetization of its bullion and finished goods inventory, net of accounts payable balances, to outstanding RCF and prepay balances.

Operations

Fourth quarter and full-year 2024 highlights for each of the Company’s operations are provided below.

Palmarejo, Mexico

Operational

• Fourth quarter gold and silver production totaled 22,490 and 1.5 million ounces, respectively, compared to 27,549 and 1.8 million ounces in the prior period and 25,401 and 1.6 million ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year, gold and silver production totaled 108,666 and 6.8 million ounces, respectively, and exceeded 2024 guidance ranges of 95,000 - 103,000 ounces of gold and 5.9 - 6.7 million ounces of silver

• Production during the quarter was primarily driven by higher average silver recoveries, offset by lower average gold and silver grades

Financial

• Adjusted CAS¹ for gold and silver on a co-product basis increased 9% and 26% quarter-over-quarter to $894 and $15.92 per ounce, respectively, driven by lower metal sales

• For the full year, adjusted CAS¹ for gold and silver on a co-product basis totaled $892 and $14.28 per ounce, respectively, compared to $957 and $15.09 per ounce in the prior period. Both gold and silver costs ended the year below their 2024 guidance ranges of $950 - $1,150 and $15.50 - $16.50 per ounce

• Capital expenditures increased 24% quarter-over-quarter to $10 million, reflecting higher sustaining capital during the period. For the full year, capital expenditures decreased 27% to $31 million

• Free cash flow¹ in the fourth quarter and full year totaled $23 million and $108 million, respectively, compared to $48 million and $35 million in the prior periods

Exploration

• Exploration investment for the fourth quarter totaled approximately $4 million (substantially all expensed) compared to roughly $4 million (substantially all expensed) in the prior period. For the full year, exploration investment increased 69% to roughly $13 million (substantially all expensed)

• Seven rigs were active during the quarter, with three rigs focused on step-out drilling along the western extension of the Hidalgo corridor. A new mineralized structure discovered in 2024 called the Libertad Footwall has demonstrated splays and breccias similar to those contained at Guadalupe and Independencia. Exploration drilling successfully traced these Libertad structures over 750 meters along strike. In addition, the 2024 drill program at Hidalgo and Libertad was a significant contributor to inferred resource growth. Successful exploration also led to a maiden resource at the San Juan target and an extension of the Guadalupe zone

• Since the acquisition of the Fresnillo claims in September 2024, multiple new veins and targets have been identified through mapping and sampling. Vein extensions with the potential to add up to 12 kilometers of cumulative strike length have been outlined to the southeast and immediately adjacent to existing mining operations

• Priorities for 2025 include continuing to build the inferred resource base to create a strong foundation for future conversion and reserve growth. A key focus will be on validation and expansion of historic resources on the southeast extension of Independencia / La Nacion, two vein structures that extend beyond the area impacted by the gold stream. In addition, early-stage exploration is expected to commence in the eastern portion of the Palmarejo district. For the first time ever, approximately 60% of planned annual exploration investment at Palmarejo is expected to be outside the area affected by the gold stream with Franco-Nevada

Other

• Approximately 47% and 35% of Palmarejo’s gold sales in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, were sold under the gold stream agreement with Franco-Nevada at a price of $800 per ounce, totaling 10,463 ounces in the fourth quarter and 37,894 ounces for the full year. The Company anticipates approximately 40% - 50% of Palmarejo’s 2025 gold sales will be sold under the gold stream agreement

Guidance

• Full-year 2025 production is expected to be 95,000 - 105,000 ounces of gold and 5.4 - 6.5 million ounces of silver

• CAS¹ in 2025 are expected to be $950 - $1,150 per gold ounce and $17.00 - $18.00 per silver ounce

• Capital expenditures are expected to be $26 - $32 million, consisting primarily of sustaining capital and underground development

• Exploration investment in 2025 is expected to be $16 - $18 million (substantially all expensed)

Rochester, Nevada

Operational

• Silver and gold production in the fourth quarter totaled 1.6 million and 15,752 ounces, respectively, compared to 1.2 million and 9,690 ounces in the prior period and 1.3 million and 19,847 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year, silver production totaled 4.4 million ounces, which was below 2024 guidance ranges of 4.8 - 6.6 million ounces, while gold production totaled 39,203 and was within 2024 guidance ranges of 37,000 - 50,000 ounces

• Ore tons placed increased 16% quarter-over-quarter to 8.2 million tons, which exceeded the fourth quarter target of 7.0 - 8.0 million tons, and included approximately 5.1 million tons through the new crushing circuit and roughly 3.1 million tons of higher-grade backfill direct-to-pad material placed on the Stage 6 leach pad, which has provided operational flexibility and helped ensure continuous production during planned and unplanned crusher downtime. In the month of January 2025, ore tons placed totaled 2.4 million tons

• Lower than expected silver production during the quarter was primarily driven by the timing of recovered ounces and higher average overall size of material placed during the quarter

Financial

• Fourth quarter adjusted CAS¹ for silver and gold on a co-product basis totaled $17.96 and $1,495 per ounce, respectively, mainly driven by higher metals sales

• Full-year adjusted CAS¹ for silver and gold on a co-product basis totaled $20.07 and $1,663 per ounce, respectively, compared to $23.97 and $1,922 per ounce in the prior period

• Capital expenditures increased 38% quarter-over-quarter to $14 million, bringing the full year total to $73 million compared to $263 million in the prior period, reflecting the completion of the Rochester expansion during the year

• Free cash flow¹ in the fourth quarter and full-year totaled $12 million and $(68) million, respectively, compared to $(7) million and $(286) million in the prior periods

Exploration

• Exploration investment in the fourth quarter totaled approximately $4 million ($3 million expensed and $1 million capitalized) compared to roughly $3 million ($1 million expensed and $2 million capitalized) in the prior quarter. For the full year, exploration investment more than doubled to $10 million ($5 million expensed and $5 million capitalized)

• Near-term exploration objectives at Rochester aim to augment the grade profile of the current 16-year reserve-only mine life to enhance cash flow

• Two rigs continued to drill the Wedge area of East Rochester during the fourth quarter. This diamond drill core program has successfully outlined the continuation of mineralization along both the Weaver-Rochester contact and long high-angle, higher-grade structures. In addition, a thick wedge of colluvium that was previously considered waste was found to be mineralized. The geological understanding of this portion of the deposit, due to be mined from 2027 - 2032, is growing rapidly and the updated geological model is expected to form the basis for an aggressive infill program in 2025 once the overlying Stage 1 leach pad is unloaded

• Re-logging and re-interpretation of core and reverse circulation chips from legacy drillholes at Lincoln Hill during 2024 resulted in a new geological model being completed during the quarter. Additional drilling to test this model and expand reserves and resources in this area are planned for 2024

• Drilling at Nevada Packard commenced during the quarter and is expected to confirm the new geological model and establish controls on higher-grade mineralization. This work is aimed at assessing the upside potential for higher grades on the structures in the Nevada Packard area to augment the life of mine grade profile

Guidance

• Full-year 2025 production is expected to be 7.0 - 8.3 million ounces of silver and 60,000 - 75,000 ounces of gold

• CAS¹ for 2025 are expected to be $14.50 - $16.50 per silver ounce and $1,250 - $1,450 per gold ounce

• Capital expenditures are expected to be $57 - $70 million, which reflects an eight-million-ton stripping campaign for the removal of Stage 1 and 2 leach pads to access ore zones in the eastern portion of the open pit, modifications after startup of the crusher corridor and final negotiated payment with a key contractor of the expansion construction

• Exploration investment in 2025 is expected to be $13 - $16 million ($11 - $12 million expensed and $2 - $4 million capitalized)

Kensington, Alaska

Operational

• Gold production in the fourth quarter totaled 26,931 ounces compared to 24,104 ounces in the prior period and 26,686 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year, gold production totaled 95,671 ounces and was within the 2024 guidance range of 92,000 - 106,000 ounces

• Higher production during the quarter was driven by higher average recoveries and increased tons milled

Financial

• Fourth quarter adjusted CAS¹ totaled $1,529 per ounce compared to $1,539 per ounce in the prior period, reflecting increased metal sales. Full-year adjusted CAS¹ totaled $1,651 per ounce compared to $1,786 in the prior period and was within the 2024 guidance range of $1,525 - $1,725 per ounce

• Capital expenditures decreased 6% quarter-over-quarter to $19 million. For the full year, capital expenditures increased 29% to $69 million primarily driven by the focus on capital development to support the multi-year development and exploration program aimed at extending mine life

• Free cash flow¹ in the fourth quarter and full-year totaled $(10) million and $(28) million, respectively, compared to $18 million and $(49) million in the prior periods

Exploration

• Exploration investment in the fourth quarter totaled approximately $3 million ($1 million expensed and $2 million capitalized), compared to $5 million ($2 million expensed and $3 million capitalized) in the prior period. For the full year, exploration investment totaled roughly $18 million ($6 million expensed and $12 million capitalized), compared to $18 million ($8 million expensed and $10 million capitalized) in 2023

• Up to three rigs were active at Kensington, with drilling focused on both infill and extension of the current resource boundaries at both the Kensington and Elmira deposits, with some drilling on scout targets in Lower Kensington

• Drilling during 2024 led to the discovery of several new mineralized zones including the Elmira Hanging Wall mineralization, Zone 50 in Lower Kensington and the up-dip extension of Zone 10A in Upper Kensington. Additionally, the first detailed structural model was completed for the Elmira deposit during the year and is incorporated into 2025 exploration targeting and 2024 year-end resource modeling. A similar study is expected to be undertaken in Upper and Lower Kensington in 2025

• Drilling in 2025 is focusing on maintaining the life of mine through expansion of known resource areas and identifying higher-grade zones to improve bulk mill feed grade. In addition, scout drilling is expected to take place on the newly identified Elmira Hanging Wall target and along the 3,000-foot-long gap between the Kimberly and Elmira deposits

Guidance

• Full-year 2025 production is expected to be 92,500 - 107,500 gold ounces

• CAS¹ in 2025 are expected to be $1,700 - $1,900 per gold ounce

• Exploration investment in 2025 is expected to be $11 - $14 million ($6 - 8 million expensed and $5 - $6 million capitalized)

Wharf, South Dakota

Operational

• Gold production in the fourth quarter decreased 35% quarter-over-quarter to 21,976 ounces. For the full year, gold production totaled 98,042 ounces, exceeding the 2024 guidance range of 86,000 - 96,000 ounces

• Lower production during the quarter was largely due to timing of ounces placed on the leach pad in the prior quarter at a lower average gold grade

Financial

• Adjusted CAS¹ on a by-product basis increased 2% quarter-over-quarter to $902 per ounce, largely driven by lower metal sales. Full-year adjusted CAS¹ totaled $934 per ounce and was below the 2024 guidance range of $950 - $1,050 per ounce

• Capital expenditures remained relatively flat quarter-over-quarter at approximately $3 million

• Free cash flow¹ in the fourth quarter and full year totaled $19 million and $95 million, respectively, compared to $49 million and $82 million in the prior periods. Higher free cash flow¹ for 2024 was largely driven by higher metal sales and is a record free cash flow¹ year for the site

Exploration

• Exploration investment during the fourth quarter totaled $3 million (substantially all expensed), compared to $2 million (substantially all expensed) in the prior quarter. For the full year, exploration investment totaled $6 million (substantially all expensed), compared to $1 million (substantially all capitalized) in 2023

• Increased exploration investment continued during the fourth quarter with two rigs undertaking expansion and infill drilling at the North Foley deposit. This work has successfully outlined mineralization over a new area of approximately 150,000 square feet adjacent to the Foley pit

• In 2025, expansion and infill drilling is expected to continue focusing on the Juno and North Foley deposits and is expected to meaningfully extend mine life. Additionally, geophysical surveys are planned to help in the delineation of new drill targets to fill the pipeline for continued growth and production

Guidance

• Full-year 2025 production is expected to be 90,000 - 100,000 gold ounces and 50,000 - 200,000 ounces of silver

• CAS¹ in 2025 are expected to be $1,250 - $1,350 per gold ounce

• Capital expenditures are expected to be $13 - $17 million, which reflects increased infill drilling expected to materially extend the mine life as well as other investments which is expected to be required to convert the Juno and North Foley deposits into reserves

• Exploration investment in 2025 is expected to be $7 - $10 million (substantially all expensed)

Exploration

During the fourth quarter, Coeur invested approximately $20 million ($17 million expensed and $4 million capitalized), compared to roughly $25 million ($20 million expensed and $5 million capitalized) in the prior period. For the full year, the Company invested approximately $77 million ($60 million expensed and $17 million capitalized), compared to roughly $41 million ($31 million expensed and $10 million capitalized) in 2023.

The Company’s exploration investment in 2025 is expected to total $67 - $77 million for expansion drilling (classified as exploration expense) and $10 - $16 million for infill drilling (capitalized exploration).

Top exploration priorities for the Company’s 2024 exploration program were achieved, including: (1) Kensington reaching a five year proven and probable reserve mine life; (2) outlining higher-grade structures to enhance the near-term margin and longer term free cash flow profile of the newly-expanded Rochester; (3) significantly increasing Palmarejo’s inferred resources; and (4) substantially enhancing the geological understanding of the evolving world-class polymetallic Silvertip system located in British Columbia.

At Silvertip, exploration investment totaled approximately $6 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $9 million in the prior period. For the full year, exploration investment totaled approximately $27 million, which includes $16 million related to underground mine development and site support costs, compared to $11 million in 2023.

At Silvertip, underground and surface drilling with three rigs wrapped up during the quarter. Overall, the 2024 three-pronged exploration strategy was successful on all fronts, including: (1) extending along strike the key zones of the Southern Silver zone and Saddle zone from near-mine underground drilling; (2) intersecting massive sulfide mineralization in all five step-out drill holes at the Southern Silver zone; and (3) identifying three new Silvertip lookalike structures on the land package.

In 2025, the exploration program is focused on extending and building the resource base adjacent to the current resource and further increasing the knowledge of the district through follow-up of key targets outlined by the 2024 regional program.

The Company expects exploration investment to be approximately $12 - $14 million at Silvertip 2025, which excludes $17 - $22 million related to underground mine development and site support costs.

2025 Guidance

Gold and silver production is expected to increase 20% and 62%, respectively, compared to 2024 based on the midpoint of guidance ranges. The increase is primarily driven by the completion and ramp-up of Rochester last year and the addition of Las Chispas in mid-February.

Overall cost guidance has increased slightly at Palmarejo, Kensington and Wharf compared to 2024.

The below exploration expense guidance excludes $17 - $22 million of underground mine development and support costs associated with Silvertip.

Note that Las Chispas guidance reflects results from the February 14 closing of the acquisition. Additionally, Las Chispas cost guidance excludes the effects of the SilverCrest purchase price allocation.
