Cautionary Statements This presentation contains forward‐looking statements within the meaning of securities legislation in the United States and Canada, including statements regarding anticipated production, costs, mining rates, mine plans, grades, recovery rates, cash flow, mine life, exploration and development efforts, capital expenditures, anticipated returns, operations and development at the Palmarejo complex and Kensington, expansion projects, exploration efforts, the impact of the new gold stream agreement at Palmarejo, reserve replacement, plans regarding La Preciosa, and initiatives to transition to sustainable free cash flow, maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet, focus on returns‐driven, high‐quality growth and continue delivering on commitments. 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 and silver and a sustained lower price environment, the uncertainties inherent in Coeur's production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays, ground conditions, grade variability, any future labor disputes or work stoppages, the uncertainties inherent in the estimation of gold and silver ore reserves, changes that could result from Coeur's future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, reliance on third parties to operate certain mines where Coeur owns silver production and reserves and the absence of control over mining operations in which Coeur or its subsidiaries hold royalty or streaming interests and risks related to these mining operations including results of mining and exploration activities, environmental, economic and political risks of the jurisdiction in which the mining operations are located, the loss of any third‐party smelter to which Coeur markets silver and gold, the effects of environmental and other governmental regulations, the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, the political risks and uncertainties associate with recent developments in Bolivia, 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 reports on Form 10‐K and Form 10‐Q. 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. Dana Willis, Coeur's Director, Resource Geology and a qualified person under Canadian National Instrument 43‐101, supervised the preparation of the scientific and technical information concerning Coeur's mineral projects in this presentation. Mineral resources are in addition to mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be considered for estimation of mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the inferred mineral resources will be realized. Insofar as the re‐scoped mine plan at Kensington described in this presentation is at the level of a preliminary economic assessment, it includes inferred mineral resources and does not have as high a level of certainty as a plan that was based solely on proven and probable reserves. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and resources, as well as data verification procedures and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio‐political, marketing or other relevant factors, Canadian investors should see the Technical Reports for each of Coeur's properties as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors ‐ The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We may use certain terms in public disclosures, such as "measured," "indicated," "inferred” and “resources," that are recognized by Canadian regulations, but that SEC guidelines generally prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10‐K which may be secured from us, or from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. 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, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, and adjusted all‐in sustaining costs. 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, adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, and adjusted all‐in sustaining costs are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance. We primarily reference costs applicable to sales and adjusted costs applicable to sales which exclude amortization. Gold and silver equivalence (AuEq and AgEq) assumes a silver to gold ratio of 60:1 unless otherwise noted. Average realized prices used for average realized costs for FY 2013, 2014, and 2015 and 1Q and 2Q of 2016 were $23.94, $18.87, $15.46, $15.16 and $17.38 for silver, respectively, and $1,327, 1,1252, $1,143, $1,178 and $1,255 for gold, respectively.
