Coeur Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

“Coeur delivered a solid first quarter with strong earnings and cash flows, affirming the steps we have taken to reposition our portfolio and balance sheet,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Rising production levels at our Palmarejo mine and higher metal sales more than offset the impact of record rainfall at our Rochester mine in Nevada and persistent drought conditions at our San Bartolomé mine in Bolivia. Companywide costs also continued to trend lower with first quarter metrics coming in well below full-year guidance. Combined with considerable interest savings from recent balance sheet improvements, we reported significantly higher earnings and cash flows compared to the same period last year.”

“Strong first quarter results were driven by solid production and low all-in sustaining costs, with our $250 million annual sustainable efficiency program well advanced and already benefitting the bottom line,” said David Garofalo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “To deliver on the 20/20/20 growth plan we are maintaining a laser focus on execution, while simultaneously optimizing our asset portfolio and driving down costs. In addition, we continue to enhance the strongest growth pipeline in the gold industry with the planned 60 million ounce joint venture in the Maricunga District in Chile, financed by the sale of non-core assets. This transaction underlies our strategy of growing net asset value per share by delivering three to four million ounces of sustainable, annual gold production from six to eight core camps.”

Americas Silver Corporation Provides First Quarter Production and Cost Update

“As previously announced, the year began slowly at Galena with expected lower grades and some necessary mill maintenance affecting silver and lead production but we are encouraged for the rest of the year with the lower grades, the mill liner changed and the associated backfill challenges behind us,” said Americas Silver President and CEO Darren Blasutti. “Development at San Rafael has recently been slowed but measures have been taken to address the poor ground conditions. We anticipate being able to resume our targeted development rate once we are in more competent ground in early May. We continue to expect to begin production from San Rafael by the end of Q3, 2017 within budget. San Rafael will transform the Company to a first-quartile cash cost producer and generate substantial cash flow in 2018 and beyond.”
