Recent assays highlight the potential to extend its reserve based mine life to over five years by year-end
Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today reported positive results from its multi-year exploration drilling and development program at the Kensington underground gold mine in Southeast Alaska.

Kensington consists of multiple deposits including the Kensington, Elmira, Raven, Johnson and numerous other prospective vein zones. In the upper area of the Kensington deposit, previously outlined zones appear to be converging into single, wider mineable areas. The newly discovered Zone 50 in lower Kensington is growing rapidly, resulting in the development of additional exploration drifts to facilitate infill drilling before year-end 2024. At the Elmira deposit, the Main and South zones have now been connected through infill drilling and expansion drilling is intersecting multiple wider zones to the south.

Please see the “Cautionary Statements” section for additional information regarding drill results.
“These results validate the rationale for initiating the multi-year development program in mid-2022, which was to bolster the mine’s operational flexibility and set the stage for significant mine life additions,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Following the conclusion of this program in the first half of next year, we expect Kensington to be well-positioned for a return to a sustained period of free cash flow generation and to be an important contributor to Coeur’s U.S.-centric portfolio of long-lived mines in North America.”
Coeur’s commitment to organic growth from brownfield exploration has been a key differentiator in the sector, leading to strong reserve and resource growth with multiple new discoveries and meaningful extensions to mine lives throughout the Company’s portfolio of operations. Since the inception of Kensington’s multi-year program in mid-2022, depletion has been replaced for two consecutive years and reserves have been added at the fastest rate in the operation’s history. The Kensington exploration team continues to conduct systematic geological studies aimed at deepening understanding of the mineralizing system.
Elmira
Drilling at Elmira is showing continuity between Elmira Main Zone and Elmira South (Figure 1). Structural studies and assay results indicate the Elmira Main structure splits into two at Elmira South (hanging wall and footwall structures), leading to wider zones of mineable mineralization. Notable true width intercepts significantly above reserve grade include:
Kensington
In Upper Kensington, drilling is showing that the recently-discovered Zone 30C appears to be merging with Zone 30B into a wider mineable unit (Figure 2). In addition, a number of potentially new, high-grade sub-parallel zones are being delineated in the hanging wall of both Kensington Main and Zones 30B and 30C.
Expansion drilling has also extended Zones 30B and 30C an additional 600 feet along strike since the previous update on September 12, 2023 and 125 feet downdip since year-end 2023 reserve and resource calculations. Notable true width intercepts in Upper Kensington include:
In Lower Kensington, the recently outlined Zone 50 is continuing to grow down-dip and along strike with infill and expansion drilling returning excellent results. Infill drilling over a central portion of this zone, measuring approximately 750 feet by 500 feet, has been completed, with expansion drilling completed over a similar area down-dip. Results from expansion drilling in the lower portion have been highly encouraging, warranting the development of a new exploration drift in order to complete infill at a better drill angle. This work is expected to be completed before year-end 2024 reserve and resource calculations.
The linking structures previously referred to in the Company’s Kensington exploration update on September 12, 2023 have formed a new sub-parallel zone called the Lower Sulphide Unit (“LSU”), the extensions of which will also be targeted from the new exploration drift.
Additionally, Lower Kensington Zones 10 and Zone 10 Hanging Wall zones have continued to grow (see Figure 3). Highlighted true width results from Lower Kensington include:
“Results from Kensington’s multi-year exploration program continue to be very encouraging with high grades and wide intercepts encountered in Elmira South and in Upper and Lower Kensington,” said Aoife McGrath, Senior Vice President of Exploration. “Drilling also continues to outline new potential zones. After completion of a regional- and mine-scale structural modeling exercise during 2023 that put the Kensington Mine and its mineralization styles into context, detailed local scale structural modeling is almost complete for the Elmira deposit. We continue to enhance our geological understanding, improve exploration targeting and remain very encouraged for ongoing mine life growth throughout this program.”

The scientific and technical information concerning our mineral projects in this news release have been reviewed and approved by a “qualified person” under Item 1300 of SEC Regulation SK, namely our Senior Director, Technical Services, Christopher Pascoe. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources included in this news release, as well as data verification procedures and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant factors, please review the Technical Report Summaries for each of the Company’s material properties which are available at www.sec.gov.
Notes
The ranges of potential tonnage and grade (or quality) of the exploration results described in this news release are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration work to estimate a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource. The exploration results described in this news release therefore do not represent, and should not be construed to be, an estimate of a mineral resource or mineral reserve.
