‘Our second quarter operational results were in-line with our expectations and reflect solid, double-digit production increases across all four metals we produce,’ said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive Officer. ‘We continue to deliver quarter-over-quarter improvements at Silvertip, which is a top initiative for the Company this year. Production increased at Palmarejo due to higher throughput and recovery rates, while Kensington continued to benefit from higher grades from the Jualin deposit. Wharf is expected to benefit from a combination of higher grades and the placement of additional ore during the second half to achieve its full-year plan.’
