(“Orko”) (TSX-V: OK; Frankfurt: OG3; OTCUS: OKOFF) and Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (“Coeur”) (NYSE: CDE, TSX:CDM) are pleased to announce the positive results of the Orko shareholder vote to approve the previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) whereby Coeur will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Orko (the “Orko Shares”).

99.72% of the Orko Shares represented at Orko’s special shareholders’ meeting held earlier today were voted in favor of the special resolution approving the Arrangement.

Gary Cope, Orko’s President and CEO, said “We are extremely pleased to have received such overwhelmingly positive shareholder support for the Arrangement. The combination with Coeur will allow our shareholders to participate in a company with geographically diverse projects and robust growth prospects while retaining upside related to La Preciosa. We look forward to a smooth transition.”
Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and CEO, said “We look forward to leveraging Coeur’s financial and operational resources to realize the true value of Orko’s La Preciosa project. As a combined company, we will have enhanced asset and geographic portfolio diversification and robust growth prospects for our combined shareholder base.”
