Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation: The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and include the accounts of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Coeur” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated during consolidation. The Company has evaluated all activity that took place after June 30, 2013 and determined there are no subsequent events that need to be disclosed. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. All references to June 30, 2013 or to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant areas requiring the use of management’s estimates and assumptions relate to recoverable ounces from proven and probable reserves that are the basis of future cash flow estimates and units-of-production depreciation and amortization calculations; useful lives utilized for depreciation, depletion and amortization; estimates of future cash flows for long lived assets; estimates of recoverable gold and silver ounces in ore on leach pads; the amount and timing of reclamation and remediation costs; valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and other employee benefit liabilities.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 201): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." This ASU adds certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 had no effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This ASU adds the following disclosure requirements:


•	For items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item; and


•	For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 1,202,100 shares of common stock equivalents related to equity-based awards have not been included in the diluted per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, 632,213 shares of common stock equivalents related to equity-based awards have not been included in the diluted per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 because there is no excess value upon conversion over the principal amount of the Notes.

The effect of potentially dilutive stock outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;


Level 2	Quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and


Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):



	Fair Value at June 30, 2013
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Put and call options	9,299		—		9,299		—
	$	154,397	$	—	$	154,397	$	—

The Company’s short-term investments are readily convertible to cash and, therefore, these investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s marketable equity securities are recorded at fair market value in the financial statements based on quoted market prices, which are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 12 – RECLAMATION AND MINE CLOSURE

Reclamation and mine closure costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties as well as remediation costs for inactive properties. The Company uses assumptions about future costs, mineral prices, mineral processing recovery rates, production levels, capital costs and reclamation costs. Such assumptions are based on the Company’s current mining plan and the best available information for making such estimates. The sum of the expected costs by year is discounted, using the Company's credit adjusted risk free interest rate. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on such estimates and assumptions.

Changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for active mining sites are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 15 – DEFINED CONTRIBUTION AND 401(k) PLANS

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company provides a noncontributory defined contribution retirement plan for all eligible U.S. employees. Total contributions, which are based on a percentage of the salary of eligible employees, were $0.4 million and $0.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total contributions for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a retirement savings plan (which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) covering all eligible U.S. employees. Under the plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 100% of their cash compensation, subject to ERISA limitations. The Company adopted a Safe Harbor Tiered Match and is required to make matching contributions equal to 100% of the employee’s contribution up to 3% of the employee’s compensation plus matching contributions equal to 50% of the employee’s contribution up to an additional 2% of the employee’s compensation. Total plan expenses recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Total plan expenses recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 16 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty

On January 21, 2009, the Company entered into a gold production royalty transaction with Franco-Nevada Corporation. The royalty covers 50% of the life of mine production from the Palmarejo mine and adjacent properties. The royalty transaction included a minimum obligation of 4,167 ounces per month that ends when payments have been made on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold. As of June 30, 2013, a total of 170,382 ounces of gold remain outstanding under the minimum royalty obligation.

The price volatility associated with the minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative financial instrument under U.S. GAAP. As such, the Company is required to recognize the change in fair value of the remaining minimum obligation due to the changing gold prices. Unrealized gains are recognized in periods when the forward gold price has decreased from the previous period and unrealized losses are recognized in periods when the forward gold price increases. The fair value of the embedded derivative is reflected net of the Company's current credit adjusted risk free rate, which was 7.0% and 4.2% at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on forward gold prices averaging approximately $1,243 and $1,694 per ounce, respectively, was a liability of $52.3 million and $145.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, mark-to-market adjustments for this embedded derivative amounted to a gain of $69.2 million and $25.1 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, mark-to-market adjustments for this embedded derivative amounted to a gain of $92.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

Payments on the royalty obligation occur monthly resulting in a decrease to the carrying amount of the minimum obligation and the derivative liability and the recognition of realized gains or losses as a result of changing prices for gold. Each monthly payment is an amount equal to the greater of the minimum of 4,167 ounces of gold or 50% of the actual gold production per month multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $400 per ounce (which $400 floor is subject to a 1% annual inflation compounding adjustment beginning on January 21, 2013). For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were $8.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were $17.2 million and $24.2 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted Mexican peso (“MXN”) operating costs at its Palmarejo mine. At June 30, 2013, the Company had MXN foreign exchange contracts of $32.7 million in U.S. dollars. These contracts require the Company to exchange U.S. dollars for MXN at a weighted average exchange rate of 12.65 MXN to each U.S. dollar over the next nine months. At December 31, 2012, the Company had MXP foreign exchange contracts of $26.1 million in U.S. dollars. These contracts required the Company to exchange U.S. dollars for MXN at a weighted average exchange rate of 13.11 MXN to each U.S. dollar and the Company had a liability with a fair value of $0.1 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, at June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding call options requiring it to sell $6.0 million in U.S. dollars in exchange for MXP at a weighted average strike price of 15.50 MXP to each U.S. dollar if the foreign exchange rate exceeds the strike price. Further, at June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to buy $6.0 million in U.S. dollars in exchange for MXP at a weighted average strike price of 12.50 MXP to each U.S. dollar if the foreign exchange rate exceeds the strike price. The Company had a liability with a fair value of $1.4 million at June 30,

2013. The Company recorded mark-to-market losses on these contracts of $2.3 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded mark-to-market gains on these contracts of $0.1 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These mark-to-market adjustments are reflected in fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded realized gains of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in production costs applicable to sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded realized losses of $1.2 million and $1.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, which have been recognized in production costs applicable to sales.

In connection with an arrangement agreement entered into with Orko Silver Corp., the Company entered into a foreign currency contract in the first quarter of 2013 to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted Canadian dollars ("CAD"). Please see Note 8 - ACQUISITION OF ORKO SILVER CORPORATION/LA PRECIOSA MINERAL INTERESTS for additional information. This contract allowed the Company to exchange U.S. dollars for CAD at an exchange rate of 1.0 CAD to each U.S. dollar if the CAD exchange rate exceeded par. The contract expired unexercised in the second quarter. The Company recorded a mark-to-market gain on this contract of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, reversing the loss recognized in the first quarter. This mark-to-market adjustment is reflected in fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Concentrate Sales Contracts

The Company enters into concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is the final settlement price based on a future price, does not qualify for hedge accounting. These embedded derivatives are recorded as derivative assets (in Prepaid expenses and other) or derivative liabilities (in Accrued liabilities and other) on the balance sheet and are adjusted to fair value through earnings each period until the date of final settlement. At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of $29.5 million, consisting of 0.3 million ounces of silver and 15,589 ounces of gold, which had a fair value of $28.4 million including the embedded derivative. At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of $33.2 million consisting of 0.4 million ounces of silver and 11,957 ounces of gold, which had a fair value of approximately $34.1 million including the embedded derivative.

Commodity Derivatives

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding call options requiring it to deliver 87,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $1,964.20 per ounce if the market price of gold exceeds the strike price. At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to sell 97,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $979.79 per ounce if the market price of gold were to fall below the strike price. The contracts expire over the next three years. At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding call options requiring it to deliver 97,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $1,967.89 per ounce if the market price of gold exceeds the strike price. At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to sell 122,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $967.86 per ounce if the market price of gold were to fall below the strike price. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair market value of these contracts was a net asset of $2.4 million and a net liability of $9.3 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 12,500 and 25,000 ounces of gold put options, respectively, expired at a weighted average strike price of $921.60 per ounce, resulting in a realized loss of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 5,000 and 10,000 ounces of gold call options, respectively, at a weighted average strike price of $2,000.00 expired. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $6.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to the outstanding options which was included in fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Credit Risk

The credit risk exposure related to any potential derivative instruments is limited to the unrealized gains, if any, on outstanding contracts based on current market prices. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company deals with financial institutions management deems credit worthy and limits credit exposure to each. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. In addition, to allow for situations where positions may need to be revised, the Company deals only in markets that management considers highly liquid.

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Labor Union Contracts

The Company maintains one labor agreement with Sindicato de la Empresa Minera Manquiri at the San Bartolomé mine in Bolivia. The labor agreement, which became effective October 11, 2007, does not have a fixed term. As of June 30, 2013, approximately 10.2% of the Company’s worldwide labor force was covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Termination Benefits

As part of the March 2013 decision to relocate the Company's headquarters office to Chicago, the Company established a one-time termination benefit program to retain current employees during the transition. The program provides for a one-time stay-bonus as well as severance and medical benefits equal to two weeks per year of service. At June 30, 2013, the total benefit expected to be incurred under this plan is approximately $1.7 million. The liability is recognized ratably over the service period to June 30, 2014.

The Company does not have a written severance plan for any of its operations, including those operations located in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Mexico. However, laws in these foreign jurisdictions require payment of certain minimum statutory termination benefits. Accordingly, in situations where minimum statutory termination benefits must be paid to the affected employees, the Company records employee severance costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company has accrued obligations for post-employment benefits in these locations of approximately $7.3 million and $7.6 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Kensington Production Royalty

On July 7, 1995, Coeur, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coeur Alaska, Inc., acquired the 50% ownership interest of Echo Bay Exploration Inc., or Echo Bay, giving Coeur 100% ownership of the Kensington property. Coeur Alaska is obligated to pay Echo Bay, a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, a scaled net smelter return royalty on 1.0 million ounces of future gold production after Coeur Alaska recoups the $32.5 million purchase price and its construction and development expenditures incurred after July 7, 1995 in connection with placing the property into commercial production. The royalty ranges from 1% at gold prices of $400 per ounce to a maximum of 2.5% at gold prices above $475 per ounce, with the royalty to be capped at 1.0 million ounces of production. No royalty has been paid to date.

Rochester Production Royalty

The Company acquired the Rochester property from ASARCO, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico SA de CV, in 1983. The Company is obligated to pay a net smelter royalty interest to ASARCO when the market price of silver equals or exceeds $23.60 per ounce up to a maximum rate of 5%. Royalty expense was nil and $0.5 million, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Royalty expense was $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Rochester 3.4% NSR Royalty

In connection with the Company's settlement of all disputes regarding competing mining claims located on or adjacent to the property encompassed by the Company's Rochester gold and silver mine, the Company granted a 3.4% NSR royalty to a third party on up to 39.4 million silver equivalent ounces sold from the Rochester mine beginning January 1, 2014. Payments on the royalty obligation will occur quarterly reducing the carrying amount of the royalty liability and changes in silver and gold prices will result in the recognition of mark-to-market gains or losses in Fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty

On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty transaction with Franco-Nevada Corporation under which Franco-Nevada purchased a royalty covering 50% of the life of mine gold to be produced from its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico. The royalty agreement provides for a minimum obligation to be paid monthly on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold, or 4,167 ounces per month over an initial eight year period. As of June 30, 2013, a total of 170,382 ounces of gold remain outstanding under the minimum royalty obligation.

NOTE 18 – SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

The Company markets its doré to credit worthy bullion trading houses, market makers and members of the London Bullion Market Association, industrial companies and sound financial institutions. The refined metals are sold to end users for use in electronic circuitry, jewelry, silverware, pharmaceutical products, and the technology industry. The Company currently has nine trading counterparties (International Commodities, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Standard Bank, TD Securities, Valcambi, Johnson Matthey, Toronto Dominion Bank, and Auramet) and the sales of metals to these companies amounted to approximately 74% and 92% of total metal sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Generally, the loss of a single bullion trading counterparty would not adversely affect the Company due to the liquidity of the markets and the availability of alternative trading counterparties.

Sales of silver and gold concentrates to third parties (Nyrstar, Aurubis, Sumitomo, Trafigura, Johnson Matthey, and China National Gold) amounted to approximately 26% and 8% of total metal sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The loss of any one smelting and refining client may have a material adverse effect if alternate smelters and refiners are not available. The Company believes there is sufficient global capacity available to address the loss of any one smelter.

The following table indicates customers that represent 10% or more of total sales of metal for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):



Customer	Three months ended June 30,		Three months ended June 30,		Segments reporting sales of metal

NOTE 19 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The operating segments are managed separately because each segment represents a distinct use of company resources and a separate contribution to the Company’s cash flows. The Company’s reportable operating segments include the Palmarejo, San Bartolomé, Martha, Rochester, Kensington and Endeavor mining properties and the La Preciosa exploration property. All operating segments are engaged in the discovery and/or mining of gold and silver and generate the majority of their revenues from the sale of these precious metal concentrates and/or refined precious metals. Through September 2012, the Martha mine sold precious metal concentrates, typically under long-term contracts, to trading partners located in the United States and Switzerland. The Company ceased active mining operations at the Martha mine in September of 2012.

The Kensington mine sells precious metals and concentrates, typically under long-term contracts to smelters in China, Japan, and Germany. Refined gold and silver produced by the Rochester, Palmarejo, and San Bartolomé mines are principally sold on a spot basis to precious metals trading banks such as International Commodities, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Standard Bank, TD Securities, Valcambi and Auramet. Concentrates produced at the Endeavor mine are sold to Nyrstar (formerly Zinifex), an Australian smelter. The Company’s exploration programs, other than the La Preciosa project, are reported in its other segment. The other segment also includes the corporate headquarters, elimination of intersegment transactions and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies above. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, unusual and infrequent items and extraordinary items.

Financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 20 – LITIGATION AND OTHER EVENTS

Sites Related to Callahan Mining Corporation

In 1991, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Callahan Mining Corporation. Since then, the Company has received requests for information or notices of potential liability from state or federal agencies with regard to Callahan's operations at sites in Idaho, Maine, Colorado and Washington. The Company did not make any decisions with respect to generation, transport or disposal of hazardous waste at these sites. Therefore, the Company believes that it is not liable for any potential cleanup costs either directly as an operator or indirectly as a parent. To date, none of these agencies have made any claims against the Company or Callahan for cleanup costs. The Company anticipates that further agency interaction may be possible with respect to three of these sites, discussed below.

Callahan operated a mine and mill in Brooksville, Maine from 1968 until 1972 and subsequently disposed of the property. In 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, made a formal request to the Company for information regarding the site. The site was placed on the National Priorities List on September 5, 2002, and the Maine Department of Transportation, a partial owner of the property, signed a consent order in 2005. In January 2009, the EPA and the State of Maine made additional formal requests to the Company for information relating to the site, to which the Company responded. The first phase of cleanup at the site began in April 2011.

The Van Stone Mine in Stevens County, Washington consists of several parcels and was mined from 1926 until 1993. Callahan sold its parcel in 1990. In February 2010, the State of Washington Department of Ecology notified Callahan Mining Corporation that it, among others, is a potentially liable person (PLP) under Washington law. Asarco LLC ("Asarco"), an affiliate of American Smelting and Refining Company, which developed the mill on the site in 1951, settled for $3.5 million. Another potentially liable person, Vaagen Brothers, signed a consent order which allows access to the site for a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study. Neither the Company nor Callahan Mining Corporation has received any further notices from the Washington Department of Ecology. On June 5, 2012, Asarco filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against five named defendants, including Callahan Mining Corporation, seeking contribution for the $3.5 million settlement. Callahan Mining Corporation filed a response and defense to the lawsuit on December 11, 2012 and does not believe it has any liability to Asarco. The Court has set a trial date for April 28, 2014. On January 23, 2013, the Court entered an Order dismissing one of the five named defendants from the lawsuit as a result of the parties reaching a settlement.

Callahan controlled the Akron Mine located in Gunnison County, Colorado under lease and option agreements with several owners from 1937-1960. In December 2003, the United States Forest Service (“USFS”) made a formal request for information to the Company for information regarding the site, to which the Company responded. In February 2007, the USFS made a formal request for information to Callahan for information regarding the site, to which Callahan responded. In April 2013, the USFS made a formal request for information to the Company regarding the site, to which the Company responded on June 10, 2013.

Bolivian Temporary Restriction on Mining above 4,400 Meters

On October 14, 2009, the Bolivian state-owned mining organization, COMIBOL, announced by resolution that it was temporarily suspending mining activities above the elevation of 4,400 meters above sea level while stability studies of Cerro Rico mountain are undertaken. The Company holds rights to mine above this elevation under valid contracts with COMIBOL as well as under authorized contracts with local mining cooperatives that hold their rights under contract themselves with COMIBOL. The Company temporarily adjusted its mine plan to confine mining activities to the ore deposits below 4,400 meters above sea level and timely notified COMIBOL of the need to lift the restriction.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - (Continued)

to COMIBOL with respect to a further area above the 4,400 meter level known as Huacajchi Sur. Based on these notifications and on the absence of any objection from COMIBOL, the Company resumed mining operations at the San Bartolomé mine on the Huacajchi deposit and Huacajchi Sur. Mining in other areas above the 4,400 meter level continues to be suspended.

The partial suspension may reduce production until the Company is able to resume mining above 4,400 meters generally. It is uncertain at this time how long the suspension will remain in place. In addition, it is possible that COMIBOL may decide that the Company's operations at the Huacajchi deposit or Huacajchi Sur are subject to the COMIBOL resolution, which may force the Company to cease mining at such deposits. If COMIBOL objects to the Company mining at the Huacajchi deposit or Huacajchi Sur or if the other restrictions are not lifted, the Company may need to write down the carrying value of the asset. It is also uncertain if any new mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude may affect mining in Bolivia.

Unpatented Mining Claims Dispute at Rochester in Nevada

On December 5, 2011, Coeur Rochester filed a lawsuit in the Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada against Rye Patch Gold Corp and Rye Patch Gold US, Inc. seeking a declaratory judgment as to Coeur Rochester's ownership of 447 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 8,600 acres of federal lands in and surrounding the Coeur Rochester mine operation. On December 5, 2011, Rye Patch Gold US, Inc. filed a similar action asserting its interest in the claims in the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada. The Rye Patch action was subsequently moved to the Sixth Judicial Court and consolidated with Coeur Rochester's pending action. The dispute stemmed from competing asserted interests in the mining claims between Coeur Rochester and Rye Patch following Coeur Rochester's inadvertent failure to pay annual mining claim maintenance fees.

On June 24, 2013, Coeur Rochester entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Rye Patch. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Agreement (the “Closing”) occurred on June 27, 2013. At the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, all disputes among Coeur Rochester and Rye Patch regarding the competing unpatented mining claims were mutually released and Coeur Rochester and Rye Patch agreed to take necessary actions to cause all pending litigation involving the parties associated with the competing claims to be dismissed with prejudice. In addition, Coeur Rochester acquired all Rye Patch mining claims in dispute with those of Coeur Rochester, in exchange for (1) a $10 million cash payment, (2) the granting to Rye Patch of a 3.4% net smelter returns royalty on up to 39.4 million silver equivalent ounces produced and sold from the Rochester Mine beginning January 1, 2014, payable in cash on a quarterly basis, which had an estimated fair value of $22.0 million, and (3) granting Rye Patch an option to acquire CRI's federal patented mining claim called “Blue Bird” (which option was timely exercised by Rye Patch and the transfer of the “Blue Bird” claim to Rye Patch occurred on July 11, 2013).

Appeal of Plan of Operations Amendment at Rochester in Nevada

The Rochester property is also the subject of an administrative appeal filed by Great Basin Resource Watch (“GBRW”) with the Interior Board of Land Appeals (“IBLA”). This appeal challenges the decision of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) to approve a plan of operations amendment permitting resumed mining in the existing mine pit and construction of a new heap leach pad. GBRW asserts that the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) required an Environmental Impact Statement for the plan of operations amendment, as opposed to the Environmental Assessment (“EA”) that was prepared. GBRW further alleges that BLM violated the Federal Land Policy & Management Act (“FLPMA”) by failing to avoid unnecessary and undue degradation of public lands. Because GBRW did not seek a stay of BLM's decision, operations are proceeding as approved. Coeur was granted intervenor status in the appeal and is actively participating in its resolution. The BLM and Coeur assert that the EA complies with NEPA and that BLM complied with FLPMA by, among other things, requiring mitigation of any possible future effects on water quality. BLM filed a Supplemental Briefing on March 1, 2012 regarding additional analysis conducted by the BLM further supporting and strengthening BLM and Coeur's positions that the EA complies with NEPA. The Company cannot predict whether this will result in further briefing with the IBLA, when the IBLA will rule on the appeal or what impact, if any, an adverse ruling may have on Rochester's operations.



Item 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide the reader of the Company's financial statements with a narrative from management’s perspective on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors that may affect our future results. The Company believes it is important to read its MD&A in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 10-K"), as well as other publicly available information.

This report contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to the Company's gold and silver mining business, including expectations as to production, operating schedules, results of operations, ore reserves and mineralized material, capital costs, capital expenditures, and other operating data, potential quality and/or grade of mineralized material, permit and other regulatory approvals, as well as expected results of initiatives to reduce costs and capital expenditures, enhance revenue, manage

working capital and maximize net cash flow and expectations with respect to the development of the La Preciosa project. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “plan,” “projected,” “contemplates,” “anticipates” or similar words. Actual production, operating schedules, results of operations, ore reserves and mineralized material, capital costs, capital expenditures and other operating data, quality and/or grade of mineralized material, permit and regulatory approvals, results of initiatives to reduce costs and capital expenditures, enhance revenue, manage working capital and maximize net cash flow and the development of the La Preciosa project could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: (i) the risk factors set forth below under Part II, Item 1A and in the "Risk Factors" section of the 2012 10-K and the risks and uncertainties discussed in this MD&A; (ii) 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); (iii) changes in the market prices of gold and silver and a sustained lower price environment; (iv) uncertainties inherent in the Company's production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays; (v) any future labor disputes or work stoppages; (vi) uncertainties inherent in the estimation of gold and silver ore reserves; (vii) changes that could result from the Company's future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses; (viii) reliance on third parties to operate certain mines where the Company owns silver production and reserves; (ix) the loss of any third-party smelter to which the Company markets silver and gold; (x) effects of environmental and other governmental regulations; (xi) risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries; (xii) the worldwide economic downturn and difficult conditions in the global capital and credit markets; and(xiii) the Company's possible inability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its debt. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 cash operating costs, total cash costs, and operating cash flow. 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 cash operating costs, total cash costs and operating cash flow are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance.

Introduction to the Company

The Company is a large primary silver producer with growing gold production and has assets located in the United States, Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina and Australia. The Palmarejo mine, San Bartolomé mine, Kensington mine, and Rochester mine , each of which is operated by the Company, and the Endeavor mine, which is operated by a non-affiliated party, constituted the Company’s principal sources of mining revenues during the first six months of 2013.

The Company’s business strategy is to discover, acquire, develop and operate low-cost silver and gold operations that it expects to produce long-term cash flow, provide opportunities for growth through continued exploration, and generate superior and sustainable returns for stockholders. The Company’s management focuses on maximizing net cash flow through identifying and implementing revenue enhancement opportunities at existing operations, reducing operating and non-operating costs, completing capital projects and reducing capital expenditures, and managing working capital.

The results of the Company’s operations are significantly affected by the prices of silver and gold, which may fluctuate widely and have declined substantially in recent months. These prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including interest rates, expectations regarding inflation, currency values, governmental decisions regarding the disposal of precious metals stockpiles, global and regional political and economic conditions and other factors. In addition, the Company faces challenges including raising capital, increasing production and managing social, political and environmental issues. Operating costs at its mines are subject to variation due to a number of factors such as changing commodity prices, ore grades, metallurgy, revisions to mine plans and changes in accounting principles. At foreign locations, operating costs are also influenced by currency fluctuations that may affect the Company’s U.S. dollar costs.

Overview of Performance

Production

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s silver production decreased 5.4% to 4.6 million ounces compared to 4.9 million ounces in the comparable period in 2012. The decrease is primarily due to lower production at Palmarejo from lower ore grades. The Company’s gold production in the second quarter of 2013 decreased 3.6% to 60,757 ounces compared to 63,047 ounces in

the comparable period in 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by lower gold production at Palmarejo due to lower ore grade and recovery.

Sales of Metal

Sales of metal decreased 19.6% to $204.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $254.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to lower silver production and lower silver and gold prices. The Company’s average realized silver and gold prices during the second quarter of 2013 were $22.86 per ounce and $1,416 per ounce, respectively, representing a decrease of 21.9% and 12.0%, respectively, over last year’s second quarter. Sales of silver contributed 57.9% of the Company’s total metal sales during the second quarter of 2013, compared to 63.2% during the second quarter of 2012.

Earnings

The Company reported a net loss of $35.0 million, or $(0.35) per share, compared to net income of $23.0 million, or $0.26 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net loss in the second quarter of 2013 includes a $32 million charge to settle the Rochester claims dispute and a $17.2 million charge for the other than temporary impairments of marketable securities. Earnings also reflect positive fair value adjustments of $66.8 million and $16.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These fair value adjustments are driven primarily by changing forward gold prices which impact the estimated future liabilities related to the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation.

Production costs increased $11.1 million or 8.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012. The increase was due primarily to higher silver and gold production combined with higher operating costs at Kensington.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization decreased $3.4 million or 5.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012 as a result of lower depletion at Palmarejo.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.4 million or 74.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to increased legal and finance expenses and consulting and recruiting expenses related to the relocation of employees.

Exploration expense increased $0.5 million or 7.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012 as a result of increased exploration activity at Palmarejo and Kensington.

Pre-development, care, maintenance and other expenses increased $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same time period in 2012. The increase was primarily the result of timing of expenditures related to expansion activities at the Rochester mine.

Interest expense increased $3.4 million or 44.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to an increase in total debt outstanding from the issuance of the 7.875% Senior Notes.

Other Highlights

In addition to the matters discussed above, the matters management considers most important in evaluating the Company’s financial condition and results of operations include:


•	The average price of silver (Handy & Harman) and gold (London Gold PM) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $23.19 and $1,415 per ounce, respectively, compared to $29.45 and $1,609 per ounce, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The closing market price of silver and gold on August 7, 2013 was $19.58 per ounce and $1,283 per ounce, respectively.


•	Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2013 was $63.3 million, compared to $113.2 million during the second quarter of 2012. The reduction was primarily the result of lower silver ounces sold and lower silver and gold prices, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold.

•

The Company spent $27.2 million on capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2013, which is $5.0 million lower than the same time period last year. Capital expenditures in the second quarter were primarily related to drilling and development of the Guadalupe satellite underground mine; underground development at Palmarejo, underground development at Kensington, and the stage 3 leach pad, metal removal system, and crusher at Rochester.


•	On April 16, 2013 the Company completed the acquisition of Orko Silver Corporation and holds the La Preciosa silver and gold project in Durango, Mexico.


•	The Company’s ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.37 to 1 at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.70 to 1 at December 31, 2012.

Operating Highlights and Developments

Palmarejo

Silver production for the second quarter of 2013 was 2.0 million ounces, a 13.5% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2012. Gold production was 28,191 ounces, which represented a 9.8% decrease from the second quarter of 2012. The lower production was primarily the result of lower ore grade compared to the same time period in 2012.

Cash operating costs per silver ounce during the second quarter increased to $3.25 compared to $(0.85) for the second quarter of 2012. Higher cash operating costs per ounce were due to lower production, higher ground support and maintenance costs and lower gold by-product credits as a result of lower gold prices and production. Production costs applicable to sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by 11.7% compared to the same time period in 2012 due primarily to lower production.

San Bartolomé

Silver production for the second quarter of 2013 held even at 1.5 million ounces of silver compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to higher throughput and recovery, partially offset by lower ore grade.

Cash operating costs per ounce during the second quarter of 2013 were $12.89 and cash costs per ounce, including royalties and taxes, were $13.80 compared to $11.05 and $12.04, respectively, in the second quarter of 2012. Production costs applicable to sales increased by 44.1% during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to higher production and lower ore grade.

On October 14, 2009, the Bolivian state-owned mining organization, COMIBOL, announced by resolution that it was temporarily suspending mining activities above the elevation of 4,400 meters above sea level while stability studies of the Cerro Rico mountain are undertaken. The Company holds rights to mine above this elevation under valid contracts with COMIBOL as well as under authorized contracts with local mining cooperatives that hold their rights under contract themselves with COMIBOL. The Company temporarily adjusted its mine plan to confine mining activities to the ore deposits below 4,400 meters above sea level and timely notified COMIBOL of the need to lift the restriction.

The Cooperative Reserva Fiscal, with which the Company has one of those contracts, subsequently interpreted the COMIBOL resolution and determined that the Huacajchi deposit was not covered by such resolution. In March 2010, the Cooperative Reserva Fiscal notified COMIBOL that, based on its interpretation, it was resuming mining of high grade material above the 4,400 meter level in the Huacajchi deposit. In December 2011, the Cooperative Reserva Fiscal sent a similar notification to COMIBOL with respect to a further area above the 4,400 meter level known as Huacajchi Sur. Based on these notifications and on the absence of any objection from COMIBOL, the Company resumed mining operations at the San Bartolomé mine on the Huacajchi deposit and Huacajchi Sur. Mining in other areas above the 4,400 meter level continues to be suspended.

Kensington

Gold production at Kensington for the second quarter of 2013 increased 7.4% to 23,162 ounces of gold, compared to 21,572 ounces for the same period of 2012. The increase was due primarily to a higher throughput and recovery. Continuous improvements at the mill resulted in a 98.2% recovery rate in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 94.2% in the second quarter 2012.

Cash operating costs per ounce in the second quarter of 2013 were $1,115 compared to $1,348 for the same period of 2012. Production costs applicable to sales increased 87.2% during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to higher production and sales volume.

Rochester

Silver production was 0.8 million ounces and gold production was 9,404 ounces during the second quarter of 2013 compared to 0.7 million ounces of silver and 10,120 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2012. Cash operating costs per silver ounce increased in the second quarter of 2013 to $14.75 and total cash costs per silver ounce, including production taxes and royalties, were $15.39 compared to $9.83 and $11.45 in the second quarter of 2012, respectively, primarily due to lower grades. Production costs applicable to sales increased to $23.1 million during the second quarter of 2013, compared to $20.8 million during the same time period in 2012.

Endeavor

Silver production at the Endeavor mine in the second quarter of 2013 was flat at 0.2 million ounces compared to the second quarter of 2012. Cash costs per ounce of silver produced were $10.62 in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $17.50 in the

second quarter of 2012, the result of higher recovery partially offset by lower grade. Production costs applicable to sales were $1.7 million for the quarter compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to an increase in sales.

As of March 31, 2013, CDE Australia Pty Ltd had recovered 100% of the original transaction consideration to acquire the silver stream. As of June 30, 2013, a total of 4.5 million payable ounces had been received, or 22.5% of the 20 million maximum payable silver ounces to which CDE Australia Pty Ltd is entitled under the terms of the silver sale and purchase agreement.

La Preciosa

On July 8, 2013, the Company announced results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the La Preciosa silver and gold project located in Durango, Mexico. The Company will pursue a feasibility study over the next 12 months.

(A)	Current production reflects final metal settlements of previously reported production ounces.


^(B)	Amount includes gold by-product credits in computing cash costs per ounce.


^(C)	Amounts reflect Kensington statistics only.


^(D)	Units sold at realized metal prices will not match reported metal sales due primarily to the effects on revenues of mark-to-market adjustments on embedded derivatives in the Company’s provisionally priced sales contracts.


(E)	Recoveries are affected by timing inherent in the leaching process and reflect final metal settlements of previously reported production.


(F)	Recoveries at Rochester are affected by residual leaching on Stage IV and timing differences inherent in the heap leaching process.

“Cash Operating Costs per Ounce” and “Cash Costs per Ounce” are calculated by dividing the operating cash costs and cash costs computed for each of the Company’s mining properties for a specified period by the amount of gold ounces or silver ounces produced by that property during that same period. Management uses cash operating costs per ounce and cash costs per ounce as key indicators of the profitability of each of its mining properties. Gold and silver are sold and priced in the world financial markets on a U.S. dollar per ounce basis.

“Cash Operating Costs” and “Cash Costs” are costs directly related to the physical activities of producing silver and gold, and include mining, processing and other plant costs, third-party refining and smelting costs, marketing expenses, on-site general and administrative costs, royalties, in-mine drilling expenditures related to production and other direct costs. Produced by-product

metal units at the average market price is deducted from the above in computing cash costs. Cash costs exclude depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion, corporate general and administrative expenses, exploration, interest, and pre-feasibility costs. Cash operating costs include all cash costs except production taxes and royalties, if applicable. Cash costs are calculated and presented using the “Gold Institute Production Cost Standard” applied consistently for all periods presented.

“Cash Operating Costs” and “Cash Costs” per ounce are non-U.S. GAAP measures and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them and are urged to read all U.S. GAAP accounting disclosures presented in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. In addition, see the reconciliation of “cash costs” to production costs under “Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Cash Costs to U.S. GAAP Production Costs” set forth below. 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 cash operating costs, cash costs and operating cash flow. 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 cash operating costs, cash costs and operating cash flow are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance.

The following tables present a reconciliation between non-U.S. GAAP cash operating costs per ounce and cash costs per ounce to U.S. GAAP production costs applicable to sales including depreciation, depletion and amortization:

Gold is accounted for as a by-product credit at the Palmarejo and Rochester mines whereby revenues from gold are deducted from operating costs in the calculation of cash costs per ounce. Significant by-product credits are due in part to gold production and an increase in price over the last three years. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, gold by-products credits for Palmarejo were approximately $22.63 and $21.16 per silver ounce, respectively, and gold by-product credits for Rochester were $22.06 and $20.30 per silver ounce, respectively. If the Company's accounting policy was changed to treat gold as a co-product, the following costs per ounce would be reported:

Exploration Activity

During the second quarter, the Company invested $6.8 million in expensed exploration for discovery of new mineralization and $3.0 million in capitalized exploration for definition of new mineralization, completing nearly 123,000 feet (37,700 meters) of drilling and trenching.

Coeur's exploration program utilized eleven drill rigs and a trenching crew: five drills at Palmarejo, three at Kensington (including one drill devoted to definition drilling), two in Argentina (Joaquin and Lejano projects), one at Rochester and one trenching crew at San Bartolomé.

Palmarejo


•	Exploration for discovery of new mineralization was conducted around the Palmarejo surface and underground mine area on new targets generated in 2012 and early 2013. The most significant results received in the quarter were the footwall and depth extension of the Tucson-Chapotillo area. Results are pending from many other targets drilled in the quarter.

•

Drilling to upgrade the confidence of, and expand the size of, known mineralized zones was performed around the current Palmarejo mine area at the 108 Zone, 76 Surface, Tucson-Chapotillo and the Inter-Clavos zone. These areas were drilled from both surface and underground platforms. Favorable results were obtained from 108. In addition, similar drilling was completed at the Las Animas zone of the Guadalupe deposit. Finally, the first drilling from underground positions started on Guadalupe Norte.

Kensington


•	Exploration work to discover new mineralization continued this quarter. As part of this work, surface drilling began on the Jualin area (small, historic mine area south of main Kensington). This drilling targeted the #4 vein, a zone of auriferous quartz and sulfide veining situated about 1,500 feet (460 meters) due south of the mill facility.


•	Exploration to define and expand known mineralized zones focused on the southern margins of lower Zone 10 and Zone 50 in main Kensington as well as the northern extent of lower Zone 10.


•	In addition, underground drilling was conducted on the Ann target and the upper extension of Zone 10 at main Kensington. Finally, drifting and drill station construction continued this quarter. This new development heading will be used in the coming months to facilitate drilling of the Kensington South and other targets.

Rochester

•

Drilling was performed to expand and define grades and tons of existing stockpiled material in the second quarter. The drilling returned favorable results from the Limerick, South, and North areas. Results from 23 new drill holes were received this quarter. Results from hole LMD13-061 with 120 feet grading 0.67 ounces per short ton (oz/t) of silver and 40 feet of 1.52 oz/t of silver from Limerick and SRD13-109 in the South stockpile which returned 70 feet grading 0.38 oz/t silver and 150 feet grading 0.56 oz/t of silver.


•	In the second quarter, drilling was completed on the West, South, and Limerick stockpiles along with Rochester Backfill areas. Drilling is also planned for the Charlie Setback stockpiles during 2013. This work, along with further sampling to twin existing

drill holes and confirm metallurgical response of the stockpiles from 2012 work, will continue throughout most of this year. A program of drilling new in-situ mineralization targets will commence in the third quarter.

Coeur is reducing its exploration spending by 17%, or approximately $3 million during the remainder of 2013, with an additional $3 million reallocated from the budget to La Preciosa.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in their consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The areas requiring significant management estimates and assumptions relate to: recoverable ounces from proven and probable reserves that are the basis of future cash flow estimates and units-of-production depreciation and amortization calculations; useful lives utilized for depreciation, depletion and amortization; estimates of future cash flows for long-lived assets; estimates of recoverable gold and silver ounces in ore on leach pad; amount and timing of reclamation and remediation costs; valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; assessment of valuation allowance for value added tax receivables; and other employee benefit liabilities.

Please see Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for additional critical accounting policies and estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Sales of metal decreased 19.6% to $204.5 million from $254.4 million. The decrease in metal sales was due to a decrease in silver ounces sold and lower realized silver and gold prices. The Company sold 5.2 million ounces of silver and 63,389 ounces of gold compared to 5.6 million ounces of silver and 59,579 ounces of gold. Realized silver and gold prices were $22.86 and $1,416 per ounce, respectively compared to $29.28 and $1,610 per ounce, respectively, a decrease of 21.9% and 12.0%, respectively.

Included in sales of metals are gold by-product sales from the Company's silver mines. Total gold sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $86.0 million and $93.7 million, respectively. Of those totals, $55.2 million and $72.6 million of gold sales were recorded as by-product credits in determining the Company's silver cash cost per ounce.

The Company produced a total of 4.6 million ounces of silver and 60,757 ounces of gold, compared to 4.9 million ounces of silver and 63,047 ounces of gold. The lower silver production is primarily due to lower ore grade at Palmarejo, partially offset by higher throughput and recovery at Rochester. Cash costs were $8.86 per silver ounce compared to $6.41, primarily due to lower ore grades and production. Cash costs were $1,115 per gold ounce compared to $1,348, due to higher throughput and recovery at Kensington.

Production costs applicable to sales of metal increased from $131.8 million to $142.9 million as a result of higher silver cash costs and higher gold ounces.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization decreased $3.4 million, from $61.0 million to $57.7 million, due primarily to lower production at Palmarejo, partially offset by depreciation of new projects at Palmarejo, Kensington, and Rochester.

Costs and Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $6.4 million or 74.8%. The increase was primarily due to higher legal and business development related expenses.

Exploration expenses increased to $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $6.3 million in the same period of 2012 primarily due to increased exploration activity at the Palmarejo and Kensington mines.

Other Income and Expenses

Non-cash fair value adjustments were a gain of $66.8 million compared to a gain of $16.0 million. Fair value adjustments are driven primarily by changing forward gold prices which impact the estimated future liabilities related to the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company settled all competing mining claims encompassed by the Company's Rochester gold and silver mine. In connection with the settlement, the Company agreed to make a one-time $10 million cash payment, grant a 3.4% Net Smelter Returns royalty on Rochester production up to 39.4 million equivalent silver ounces, and

transfer the Company's non-strategic Blue Bird mining claim. The above settlement resulted in a $32.0 million litigation settlement charge in the second quarter of 2013. Also in the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a $17.2 million other-than-temporary impairment on the Company's strategic investments portfolio as a result of the continued decline in precious metal equity markets.

Interest income and other increased by $3.6 million to $0.4 million compared to expense of $3.2 million. The increase was primarily due to reductions in foreign currency losses on revaluation of foreign denominated accounts offset slightly by gains recognized on the sale of various assets in the second quarter of 2013.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased to $10.9 million from $7.6 million. The increase is primarily due to an increase in total debt outstanding as a result of the issuance of the 7.875% Senior Notes.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported an income tax provision of approximately $23.1 million compared to an income tax provision of $23.9 million for the same time period in 2012. The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):



	Three months ended June 30,
	2013			2012
United States	$	(790	)	$	(388	)
Mexico	(15,798		)	(12,052		)

Other jurisdictions	(1,990		)	(533		)
Income tax provision	$	(23,134	)	$	(23,862	)

The Company recognized a net $12.5 million deferred tax provision for the recognition of deferred taxes on deductible temporary differences, foreign exchange rate adjustments and net operating loss carryforwards in various jurisdictions (principally in Bolivia and Mexico).

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized a current provision in Bolivia, Mexico and Australia primarily related to higher metal prices and inflationary adjustments on non-monetary assets and the Company being subject to the IETU tax, which is a form of alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Company recognized a net $9.7 million deferred tax provision for the recognition of deferred taxes on deductible temporary differences, foreign exchange rate adjustments and net operating loss carry forwards in various jurisdictions (principally in U.S. and Mexico).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Sales of metal decreased 18.0% to $376.3 million from $459.0 million. The decrease in metal sales was due to lower silver ounces sold as well as lower realized silver and gold prices, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. The Company sold 8.3 million ounces of silver and 115,315 ounces of gold compared to 9.9 million ounces of silver and 98,464 ounces of gold. Realized silver and gold prices were $25.61 and $1,512 per ounce, respectively, compared to $30.72 and $1,646 per ounce.

Included in sales of metals are gold by-product sales from the Company's silver mines. Total gold sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $166.0 million and $159.0 million, respectively. Of those totals, $95.9 million and $127.5 million of gold sales were recorded as by-product credits in determining the Company's cash cost per ounce.

The Company produced 8.5 million ounces of silver and 117,671 ounces of gold, compared to 9.8 million ounces of silver and 106,947 ounces of gold. Lower silver production is primarily due to lower grade at Palmarejo and cessation of mining activities at Martha, partially offset by higher throughput and recovery at Rochester. Cash costs were $8.80 per silver ounce compared to $6.35, primarily due to lower ore grades and lower production rates. Cash costs were $1,083 per gold ounce compared to $1,697, due to higher throughput and recovery at Kensington. Production costs applicable to sales of metal increased from $224.4 million to $231.7 million as a result of higher silver cash costs and higher gold ounces sold, partially offset by lower gold cash costs and silver ounces sold.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization decreased by $5.5 million to $108.1 million compare to $113.6 million. The decrease was primarily the result of lower depletion at Palmarejo due to lower volume.

Costs and Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $9.1 million, from $16.2 million to $25.3 million. The increase was primarily due to higher legal and business development related expenses.

Exploration expenses increased slightly to $13.6 million compared to $12.9 million primarily due to increased exploration activity at the Palmarejo and Kensington mines.

Other Income and Expenses

Non-cash fair value adjustments were a gain of $84.6 million compared to a loss of $7.1 million. The majority of the increase in the fair value adjustment, net was due to the impact of changing gold prices on the Palmarejo gold production royalty obligation.

During 2013, the Company settled all competing mining claims encompassed by the Company's Rochester gold and silver mine resulting in a $32.0 million litigation settlement charge and recorded a $17.2 million other-than-temporary impairment on the Company's strategic investments portfolio as a result of the continued decline in precious metal equity markets.

Interest income and other increased by $2.5 million to $4.3 million compared to $1.8 million. The increase was primarily due to reductions in foreign currency losses on revaluation of foreign denominated accounts partially offset by gains recognized on the sale of various assets in 2013.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased to $20.7 million from $14.2 million. The increase is primarily due to an increase in total debt outstanding as a result of the issuance of the 7.875% Senior Notes.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported an income tax provision of approximately $33.7 million compared to an income tax provision of $39.3 million for the same time period in 2012. The following table summarizes the components of the Company's income tax provision from continuing operations (in thousands):



	Six months ended June 30,
	2013			2012

United States	$	(3,277	)	$	(3,525	)

Other jurisdictions	(2,022		)	(1,445		)
Income tax provision from continuing operations	$	(33,654	)	$	(39,298	)

The Company recognized a net $20.1 million deferred tax provision for the recognition of deferred taxes on deductible temporary differences, foreign exchange rate adjustments and net operating loss carryforwards in various jurisdictions (principally in Bolivia and Mexico).

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized a current provision in Bolivia, Mexico and Australia primarily related to higher metal prices and inflation adjustments on non-monetary assets, and the Company being subject to the Mexico IETU tax; which is a form of alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Company recognized a net $17.4 million deferred tax provision for the recognition of deferred taxes on deductible temporary differences, foreign exchange rate adjustments and net operating loss carryforwards in various jurisdictions (principally in the U.S. and Mexico).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Working Capital; Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $249.5 million compared to $126.4 million as of December 31, 2012.

The Company’s working capital increased by $192.6 million between December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 to $360.6 million, compared to $167.9 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the offering of the 7.875% Senior Notes, which are classified as long-term liabilities. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.37 to 1 at June 30, 2013 and was 1.70 to 1 at December 31, 2012.

The Company intends to reinvest indefinitely a portion of its earnings from its Palmarejo operations in Mexico. Accordingly, U.S. and non-U.S. income and withholding taxes for which deferred taxes might otherwise be required, have not been provided on a cumulative amount of temporary differences (including, for this purpose, any difference between the tax basis in the stock of a consolidated subsidiary and the amount of the subsidiary’s net equity determined for financial reporting purposes) related to investments in foreign subsidiaries of approximately $170.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year

ended December 31, 2012. The additional U.S. and non-U.S. income and withholding tax that would arise on the reversal of the temporary differences could be offset in part, by tax credits. Because the determination of the amount of available tax credits and the limitations imposed on the annual utilization of such credits are subject to a highly complex series of calculations and expense allocations, it is impractical to estimate the amount of net income and withholding tax that might be payable if a reversal of temporary differences occurred. The Company does not believe that the amounts permanently reinvested will have a material impact on liquidity.

The Company is generating significant operating cash flow and expects to generate net free cash flow during the second half of 2013. The Company is pursuing opportunities to reduce operating and non-operating costs and capital expenditures for the remainder of the year and as it develops operating budgets for 2014. A continued decline in silver and gold prices will lead to sustained lower free cash flow and may require the Company to seek financing for future discretionary capital expenditures and may result in impairment charges at the Company's operating mines.

Operating Activities

Excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities, the Company’s operating cash flow consisted of the following:



	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
	(In thousands)						(In thousands)
CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES	$	63,338		$	113,203		$	76,272		$	130,204
Changes in operating assets and liabilities:
Receivables and other current assets	(4,401		)	(10,319		)	(8,647		)	(7,365		)
Prepaid expenses and other	(2,930		)	2,857			(411		)	(1,916		)
Inventories	(31,483		)	(3,097		)	(10,990		)	21,625
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(10,094		)	(14,276		)	16,930			39,655
Operating cash flow (Non GAAP)	$	14,430		$	88,368		$	73,154		$	182,203

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $127.8 million, compared to $37.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $151.0 million, compared to $49.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of the Company's acquisition of Orko Silver Corporation (“Orko”) in exchange for a total of approximately 11.6 million shares of Coeur common stock, a total cash payment of approximately $99.1 million, 1.6 million warrants and assumption of liabilities of $2.6 million.

The Company spent $27.2 million on capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2013, compared with $32.2 million during the same time period last year. The Company spent $40.0 million on capital expenditures in the first six months of 2013, compared with $63.9 million during the same time period last year. The majority of the capital expenditures during the first six months of 2013 were primarily related to capitalized drilling and development of the Guadalupe satellite underground mine; underground development at Palmarejo, underground development at Kensington, and the stage 3 leach pad, metal removal system, and crusher at Rochester.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $17.4 million, compared to net cash used of $28.3 million for the same time period last year. The decrease in cash used by financing activities is primarily the result of lower debt payments during the quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company paid $17.3 million to reduce existing debt and royalty obligations, primarily to pay down the minimum obligation under the Palmarejo gold production royalty. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $198.8 million, compared to net cash used of $55.9 million. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of the proceeds from the offering of the 7.875% Senior Notes.

Debt and Capital Resources

7.875% Senior Notes due 2021

Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As of June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance of the Notes was $300.0 million.

The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of January 29, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, certain of the Company's subsidiaries named therein, as guarantors thereto (the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.875% per year from the date of original issuance or from the most recent payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2013. The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Notes on the immediately preceding January 15 and July 15. In certain circumstances the Company may be required to pay additional interest. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 interest expense recognized was $5.9 million, and $10.0 million, respectively.

At any time prior to February 1, 2017, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) a make-whole premium as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, thereon, to the date of redemption. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes on or after February 1, 2017, at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to February 1, 2016, the Company may use the proceeds of certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including any permitted additional Notes, at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the principal amount.

The terms of the Notes include affirmative and negative covenants that the Company believes are usual and customary, including covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur or permit liens on assets, make investments and acquisitions, consolidate or merge with any other company, engage in asset sales, pay dividends and distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock, restrict the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt, or enter into transactions with affiliates.

The Indenture also contains certain “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture) customary for indentures of this type. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable.

Revolving Credit Facility

On August 1, 2012, Coeur Alaska, Inc. and Coeur Rochester, Inc. (the “Borrowers”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million, which principal amount may be increased, subject to receiving additional commitments therefor, by up to $50.0 million. There is a quarterly commitment fee of 0.1% on the unused portion of the line. The unused line fee for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.1 million and was charged to interest expense.

The term of the Revolving Credit Facility is four years. Amounts may be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility would be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including the land, mineral rights and infrastructure at the Kensington and Rochester mines, as well as a pledge of the shares of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. In addition, in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, Coeur Alaska, Inc. transferred its existing hedge positions established under the Kensington Term Facility, to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as hedge provider.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would bear interest at a rate selected by the Borrowers equal to either LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%-3.25% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 1.25%-2.25%, with the margin determined by reference to the Company's ratio of consolidated debt to adjusted EBITDA.

Voluntary prepayments of the loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted without prepayment premium or penalty, subject to payment of customary LIBOR breakage costs. Amounts so repaid may be re-borrowed subject to customary requirements.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants that the Company believes are usual and customary, including covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur or permit liens on assets, make investments and acquisitions, consolidate or merge with any other company, engage in asset sales and make dividends and distributions. The Revolving Credit

Facility also contains financial covenants that require (i) ratio of consolidated debt to adjusted EBITDA to be not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 (subject to a step-down to 3.00 to 1.00 after two years), (ii) ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense to be not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (iii) tangible net worth to be not less than 90% of tangible net worth as of March 31, 2012 plus 25% of net income for each fiscal quarter ending after March 31, 2012 to the date of measurement.

As of June 30, 2013, no amounts have been drawn.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028

Per the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”), the Company announced on February 13, 2013 that it was offering to repurchase all of its outstanding Convertible Notes. As of February 12, 2013, there was $48.7 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding. The Company repurchased $43.3 million in aggregate principal amount, leaving a balance of $5.3 million at June 30, 2013.

The fair value of the notes outstanding, as determined by market transactions at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $5.2 million and $48.2 million, respectively. The carrying value of the equity component at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $10.9 million.

Each holder of the Convertible Notes may require that the Company repurchase some or all of the holder’s notes on March 15, 2015, March 15, 2018 and March 15, 2023 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. Holders would also have the right, following certain fundamental change transactions, to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of their notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may redeem the notes for cash in whole or in part at any time on or after March 22, 2015 at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Convertible Notes provide for “net share settlement” of any conversions. Pursuant to this feature, upon conversion of the notes, the Company (1) would pay the note holder an amount in cash equal to the lesser of the conversion obligation or the principal amount of the notes and (2) would settle any excess of the conversion obligation above the notes’ principal amount in the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election.

The Convertible Notes are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, at the holder’s option, at an initial conversion rate of 17.60254 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $56.81 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Kensington Term Facility

On August 16, 2012, Coeur Alaska prepaid all obligations and indebtedness outstanding under the Term Facility Agreement dated October 27, 2009 by and among Coeur Alaska, Inc. and the Financial Institutions listed on schedule 1 thereto (the "Kensington Term Facility"), which totaled approximately $68.6 million. Upon payment in full, the Kensington Term Facility was terminated and all of the liens granted under the Kensington Term Facility were released.

As a condition to the Kensington Term Facility, the Company agreed to enter into a gold hedging program which protects a minimum of 243,750 ounces of gold production over the life of the facility against the risk associated with fluctuations in the market price of gold. This program consists of a series of zero cost collars which consist of a floor price and a ceiling price of gold. Coeur Alaska has transferred these hedge positions to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as hedge provider. Call options protecting 87,000 ounces of gold were outstanding at June 30, 2013. The weighted average strike price of the call options was $1,964.20. Put options protecting 97,000 ounces of gold were outstanding at June 30, 2013. The weighted average strike price of the put options was $979.79. Call options protecting 97,000 ounces of gold were outstanding at December 31, 2012. The weighted average strike price of the call options was $1,967.89. Put options protecting 122,000 ounces of gold were outstanding at December 31, 2012. The weighted average strike price of the put options was $967.86.

Capital Lease Obligations

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding balances on capital leases of $6.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty Obligation

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Risk Mitigation Overview

The Company is exposed to various market risks as a part of its operations. In an effort to mitigate losses associated with these risks, the Company may, at times, enter into derivative financial instruments. These may take the form of forward sales contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company does not actively engage in the practice of trading derivative instruments for profit. This discussion of the Company’s market risk assessments contains “forward looking statements” that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results and actions could differ materially from those discussed below.

The Company’s operating results are substantially dependent upon the world market prices of silver and gold. The Company has no control over silver and gold prices, which can fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors, such as supply and demand and investor sentiment. From time to time, in order to mitigate some of the risk associated with these fluctuations, the Company may enter into forward sale contracts. The Company continually evaluates the potential benefits of engaging in these strategies based on current market conditions. The Company may be exposed to nonperformance risk by counterparties as a result of its hedging activities. This exposure would be limited to the amount that the spot price of the metal falls short of the contract price. The Company enters into contracts and other arrangements from time to time in an effort to reduce the negative effect of price changes on its cashflows. These arrangements typically consist of managing the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and market prices associated with changes in gold and silver commodity prices. The Company also may manage price risk by purchasing put options.

Concentrate Sales Contracts

The Company enters into concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is the final settlement price based on a future price, does not qualify for hedge accounting. These embedded derivatives are recorded as derivative assets (in Prepaid expenses and other) or derivative liabilities (in Accrued liabilities and other) on the balance sheet and are adjusted to fair value through earnings each period until the date of final settlement. At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of $29.5 million, consisting of 0.3 million ounces of silver and 15,589 ounces of gold, which had a fair value of $28.4 million including the embedded derivative. For each one cent per ounce change in realized silver price, revenue would vary (plus or minus) approximately $3,000; and for each one dollar per ounce change in realized gold price, revenue would vary (plus or minus) approximately $16,000. At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of $33.2 million consisting of 0.4 million ounces of silver and 11,957 ounces of gold, which had a fair value of approximately $34.1 million including the embedded derivative. For each one cent per ounce change in realized silver price, revenue would vary (plus or minus) approximately $4,000 and for each one dollar per ounce change in realized gold price, revenue would vary (plus or minus) approximately $12,000.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted Mexican peso (“MXN”) operating costs at its Palmarejo mine. At June 30, 2013, the Company had MXN foreign exchange contracts of $32.7 million in U.S. dollars. These contracts require the Company to exchange U.S. dollars for MXN at a weighted average exchange rate of 12.65 MXN to each U.S. dollar over the next nine months. In addition, at June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding call options requiring it to sell $6.0 million in U.S. dollars in exchange for MXP at a weighted average strike price of 15.50 MXP to each U.S. dollar if the foreign exchange rate exceeds the strike price. Further, at June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to buy $6.0 million in U.S. dollars in exchange for MXP at a weighted average strike price of 12.50 MXP to each U.S. dollar if the foreign exchange rate exceeds the strike price. The Company had a liability with a fair value of $1.4 million at June 30, 2013. The Company recorded mark-to-market losses on these contracts of $2.3 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded mark-to-market gains on these contracts of $0.1 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These mark-to-market adjustments are reflected in fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations. A 10% weakening of the MXN would result in an increase in the fair value of $2.8 million. The Company recorded realized gains of $0.2 million and

$0.8 million in production costs applicable to sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded realized losses of $1.2 million and $1.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, which have been recognized in production costs applicable to sales.

Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty

On January 21, 2009, the Company entered into the gold production royalty transaction with Franco-Nevada Corporation. The minimum royalty obligation ends when payments have been made on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold. As of June 30, 2013, a total of 170,382 ounces of gold remain outstanding under the minimum royalty obligation. The price volatility associated with the minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative financial instrument under U.S. GAAP. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was a liability of $52.3 million and $145.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the mark-to-market adjustments for this embedded derivative amounted to a gain of $69.2 million and a gain of $25.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company realized losses on the settlement of the liabilities of $8.1 million and realized gains of $12.7 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

For each $1.00 increase in the price of gold, the fair value of the net derivative liability at June 30, 2013 would have increased by approximately $0.2 million. For each $1.00 decrease in the price of gold, the fair value of the net derivative liability at June 30, 2013 would have decreased by approximately $0.2 million.

Gold Hedges

On June 30, 2013 the Company had outstanding call options requiring it to deliver 87,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $1,964.20 per ounce if the market price of gold exceeds the strike price. At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to sell 97,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $979.79 per ounce if the market price of gold were to fall below the strike price. The contracts expire by their terms over the next four years. As of June 30, 2013 the fair market value of these contracts was a net liability of $2.4 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Based on an evaluation by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, such officers concluded that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information contained under Note 20 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or operating results. Those risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, those risk factors have been supplemented and updated in this Form 10-Q. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

The Company's results of operations, cash flows and operating costs are highly dependent upon the market prices of silver and gold and other commodities, which are volatile and beyond the Company's control. Substantial or extended declines in gold and silver prices would materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations and cash flows.

Silver and gold are commodities, and their prices are volatile. During the last twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the price of silver ranged from a low of $26.39 per ounce to a high of $36.88 per ounce, and the price of gold ranged from a low of $1,540 per ounce to a high of $1,792 per ounce. During the first six months of 2013, the price of silver ranged from a low of $18.70 per ounce to a high of $32.31 per ounce, and the price of gold ranged from a low of $1,192 per ounce to a high of $1,693 per ounce. The closing market prices of silver and gold on August 7, 2013 were $19.58 per ounce and $1,283 per ounce, respectively.

Silver and gold prices are affected by many factors beyond the Company's control, including prevailing interest rates and returns on other asset classes, expectations regarding inflation, speculation, currency values, governmental decisions regarding the disposal of precious metals stockpiles, global and regional demand and production, political and economic conditions and other factors. In addition, Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), which have substantially facilitated the ability of large and small investors to buy and sell precious metals, have become significant holders of gold and silver. Factors that are generally understood to contribute to a decline in the prices of silver and gold include a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, net outflows from gold and silver ETFs, bullion sales by private and government holders and a general global economic slowdown.

Because the Company derives all of its revenues from sales of silver and gold, its results of operations and cash flows will fluctuate as the prices of these metals increase or decrease. A sustained period of declining gold and silver prices would materially and adversely affect the results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, if market prices for silver and gold decline or remain at relatively low levels for a sustained period of time, the Company may have to revise its operating plans, including reducing operating costs and capital expenditures, terminating or suspending mining operations at one or more of its properties and discontinuing certain exploration and development plans. The Company may be unable to decrease its costs in an amount sufficient to offset reductions in revenues, and may incur losses.

Operating costs at the Company's mines are also affected by the price of input commodities, such as fuel, electricity, labor, chemical reagents, explosives, steel and concrete. Prices for these input commodities are volatile and can fluctuate due to conditions that are difficult to predict, including global competition for resources, currency fluctuations, consumer or industrial demand and other factors. Continued volatility in the prices of commodities and other supplies the Company purchases could lead to higher costs, which would adversely affect results of operations and cash flows.

Since the beginning of 2011, the Company has made strategic minority investments in eight silver and gold development companies in North and South America. The value of these investments depends significantly on the market prices of silver and gold. The Company cannot assure that the value of these investments, or the value of future investments it may make in other development companies, will not decline. Declines in the value of these investments could adversely affect the Company's financial condition.

A significant and sustained decline in gold and silver prices could cause one or more of the Company's mining properties to become unprofitable, which could require it to record write-downs of long-lived assets that would adversely affect results of operations and financial condition.

Established accounting standards for impairment of the value of long-lived assets such as mining properties requires the Company to review the recoverability of the cost of its assets upon a triggering event by estimating the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairment, measured by comparing an asset's carrying value to its fair value, must be recognized when the carrying value of the asset exceeds these cash flows. A significant and sustained decline in or sustained period of relatively low silver or gold prices, or the failure to control production and operating costs or

realize the minable ore reserves at the Company's mining properties, could lead it to terminate or suspend mining operations at one or more of its properties and require a write-down of the carrying value of the assets. Any such actions would negatively affect results of operations and financial condition.

The Company may record other types of additional mining property charges in the future if it sells a property for a price less than its carrying value or has to increase reclamation liabilities in connection with the closure and reclamation of a property. Any such additional write-downs of mining properties could adversely affect results of operations and financial condition.

The Company's use of derivative contracts to protect against market price volatility exposes it to risk of opportunity loss, mark-to-market accounting adjustments and exposure to counterparty credit risk.

From time to time, the Company may enter into price risk management contracts to protect against fluctuations in the price of its products and changes in the price of fuel and other input costs. These contracts could include forward sales or purchase contracts, futures contracts, purchased or sold put and call options and other contracts. Any such use of forward or futures contracts can expose the Company to risk of an opportunity loss. The use of derivative contracts may also result in significant mark-to-market accounting adjustments, which may have a material adverse impact on reported financial results. The Company is exposed to credit risk with contract counter-parties, including, but not limited to, sales contracts and derivative contracts. In the event of non-performance in connection with a contract, the Company could be exposed to a loss of value for that contract.

Third parties may dispute the Company's unpatented mining claims, which could result in the discovery of defective titles and losses affecting its business.

The validity of mining claims is often uncertain and may be contested. Although the Company has attempted to acquire satisfactory title to undeveloped properties, in accordance with mining industry practice it does not generally obtain title opinions until a decision is made to develop a property. As a result, some titles, particularly titles to undeveloped properties may be defective. Defective title to any of the Company's mining claims could result in litigation, insurance claims and potential losses affecting its business as a whole.

There may be challenges to the title of any of the claims comprising the Company's mines that, if successful, could impair development and operations. A defect could result in the Company losing all or a portion of its right, title, estate and interest in and to the properties to which the title defect relates.

The Company's newly acquired silver-gold project, La Preciosa, is subject to significant development, operational and regulatory risks.

As a development phase project, La Preciosa is subject to numerous risks. These risks include uncertainty as to the development of the La Preciosa project in accordance with current expectations or at all, and the ultimate extent, quality, grade and mineability of silver mineralization. Further, the Company may be unable to complete project and environmental permitting within an economically acceptable time frame.

The recently-completed PEA for the La Preciosa project does not have sufficient certainty to constitute a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study. The PEA includes mineralized material that is considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to it that would enable it to be categorized as proven and probable reserves. We cannot assure that the results reflected in the PEA will be realized or that the Company will ever be in a position to identify proven and probable reserves at the La Preciosa project. In particular, the PEA uses estimated capital costs and operating costs which are based on factors including tonnage and grades of metal expected to be mined and processed and expected recovery rates, none of which has been completed to a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study level. While the Company currently is commencing a feasibility study on the La Preciosa project, the ultimate identification of proven and probable reserves will depend on a number of factors, including the attributes of the deposit (including size, grade, geological formation and proximity to infrastructure), metal prices, government regulations (including regulations pertaining to taxes, royalties, land use, international trade and permitting) and environmental protections. It is possible that proven and probable reserves will never be identified at the La Preciosa project, which would inhibit the Company's ability to develop the La Preciosa project into a commercial mining operation. In addition, following completion of the feasibility study, the Company may determine not to proceed with project construction. .

The Company plans to configure and design the La Preciosa project as a large-tonnage, open pit operation in an effort to maximize annual production and mine life. However, the Company may be unable to obtain the permits required for this design scope, or the Company may be unable to complete the design in a manner that complies with environmental laws. Further, geological or technological impediments to extraction and processing may render the engineering impracticable or uneconomic.

As a result of these and related risks, future estimates of or actual cash operating costs and economic returns of the La Preciosa project may materially differ from these estimated costs and returns for this project, and accordingly, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be negatively affected.
