Cautionary Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities
legislation in the United States and Canada, including statements regarding anticipated
high-return organic and external growth opportunities, free cash flow, cash conservation, the capacity expansion projects at Rochester, permitting, production,
costs, crushing rates, recoveries, grades, margins, cash flow, throughput, the new mine plan
at Kensington, the anticipated benefits of the Wharf acquisition, the transaction
closing of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp, capital and exploration expenditures, Guadalupe
underground mining rates, POA 10 approval at Rochester, open-pit and underground
mining operations at Palmarejo, anticipated royalty payments, development of the Jualin deposit at the Kensington mine, and initiatives to achieve higher-grade
production, efficiencies, lower costs, and balance sheet liquidity. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause Coeur's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the 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), changes in the market prices of gold and silver and a sustained lower price
environment, the uncertainties inherent in Coeur's production, exploratory and developmental
activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays, ground
conditions, grade variability, any future labor disputes or work stoppages, the uncertainties
inherent in the estimation of gold and silver ore reserves, changes that could result
from Coeur's future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, reliance on third
parties to operate certain mines where Coeur owns silver production and reserves and
the absence of control over mining operations in which Coeur or its subsidiaries hold royalty or streaming interests and risks related to these mining operations including
results of mining and exploration activities, environmental, economic and political risks of
the jurisdiction in which the mining operations are located, the loss of any third-party
smelter to which Coeur markets silver and gold, the effects of environmental and other
governmental regulations, the risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or
investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries, Coeur's ability to raise
additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its
debt, as well as other uncertainties and risk factors set out in filings made from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Canadian
securities regulators, including, without limitation, Coeur's most recent reports on Form
10-K and Form 10-Q. Actual results, developments and timetables could vary
significantly from the estimates presented. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Coeur disclaims any intent or obligation to update
publicly such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Additionally, Coeur undertakes no obligation to comment on
analyses, expectations or statements made by third parties in respect of Coeur, its financial
or operating results or its securities. Coeur Mining, Inc. is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and applicable
Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves according to
two different standards. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). The definitions of NI 43-101
are adopted from those given by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. U.S.
reporting requirements, however, are governed by the SECs Industry Guide 7 (as
interpreted by the SEC, Guide 7). Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in
terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but
embody different approaches and definitions. Under Guide 7, mineralization may not be
classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the
reserve determination is made.
In our public filings in Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we
disclose measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in NI 43-101,
in addition to our mineral reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned that, while the terms measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources and inferred
mineral resources are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, Guide 7 does
not recognize them. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources
involve greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation
of proven and probable reserves, and therefore U.S. investors are cautioned not to
assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into Guide 7 compliant reserves.
In this presentation, we modify our estimates made in compliance with NI 43-101 to conform
to Guide 7 for reporting in the United States. In this presentation, we use the term
mineralized material to describe mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute reserves under U.S. standards. Mineralized material is substantially
equivalent to measured and indicated mineral resources (exclusive of reserves) as disclosed
for reporting purposes in Canada, except that the SEC only permits issuers to
report "mineralized material" in tonnage and average grade without reference to
contained ounces. We provide disclosure of mineralized material to allow a means of
comparing our projects to those of other companies in the mining industry, many of which are
Canadian and report pursuant to NI 43-101, and to comply with applicable disclosure
requirements. We caution you not to assume that all or any part of mineralized material will ever be converted into Guide 7 compliant reserves.

Cautionary Statements
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 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net
income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, adjusted costs
applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining costs, and adjusted
all-in sustaining costs. 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 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce,
adjusted costs applicable to sales per silver equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining costs,
and adjusted all-in sustaining costs are important measures in assessing the Company's overall
financial performance. Silver equivalence assumes silver to gold ratio of 60:1.
As required by Canadian securities laws, we hereby notify Canadian investors that the
scientific and technical information concerning our mineral projects in this
presentation have been reviewed and approved by a qualified person under NI
43-101, namely our Vice President, Technical Services, W. David Tyler (which, for the avoidance of
doubt, excludes the Wharf mine). For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and
methods used to estimate mineral reserves included in this presentation, 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,
socio-political, marketing or other relevant factors, Canadian investors may view
technical reports prepared for each of our properties as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Neither the technical reports nor the statements of any qualified person filed with the
Canadian securities regulatory authorities are included in, or incorporated by reference in,
this presentation. Because the definitions and standards of NI 43-101 differ from those of
Guide 7, investors are cautioned that information contained in reports prepared
pursuant to NI 43-101, like the technical reports, may not be comparable to similar
information that we can disclose in this presentation or the other reports we file with the SEC.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
The proposed acquisition of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. referenced in this presentation
will be submitted to Coeurs stockholders for their consideration. In connection
with the proposed transaction, Coeur has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form

the sources listed above. Additional information regarding the interests of these individuals
will also be included in the joint proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed
transaction when it becomes available.
Non-Solicitation
A registration statement relating to the securities to be issued by Coeur in the proposed
transaction will be filed with the SEC, and Coeur will not issue, sell or accept offers to
buy such securities prior to the time such registration statement becomes effective. This
document shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor

Meets Financial
Criteria
Anticipated to be accretive on 2016 and beyond operating cash flow, free cash flow, and to
NAV Low expected capital of $15 million to achieve initial production by the end of
2015 All-stock transaction preserves Coeurs liquidity in low price
environment Expected to meaningfully reduce Palmarejos and Coeurs unit
costs Significant
Synergies
Merger expected to provide synergies between Palmarejo and San Miguel development (capex,
operating costs, workforce, equipment, Chihuahua administration)
Removes need to develop stand-alone processing plant at San Miguel by processing material
at Palmarejos existing mill
Don Ese development can leverage Guadalupe development
Makes use of excess processing capacity at Palmarejo (6,000 tpd capacity)
Leverages recent modifications to Palmarejos processing facility
Unlocks and accelerates value at Independencia and other exploration targets located between
Guadalupe and Don Ese
Provides Palmarejo mill with additional source of production by end of 2015 to supplement
production from Guadalupe
Expected to lower unit costs, increase production and cash flow
Don Ese production free from any non-government third-party royalties or stream
obligations In addition to Don Ese, other San Miguel deposits provide leverage to
higher metal prices Extensive land package offers considerable upside potential through
exploration, including continuation of known structures |

Cautionary Statements Regarding Company Outlook
In connection with Coeurs regular planning process, Coeurs management prepared
certain unaudited financial projections, some portions of which are included in this
presentation. These projections were prepared to give effect to the acquisition of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. and the Wharf mine.
These projections were not prepared with a view toward complying with published guidelines of
the SEC, the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants with respect to prospective financial information or GAAP, but, in the view of Coeurs management, were prepared on a reasonable
basis, reflect the best then-available estimates and judgments, and present, to the best
of managements knowledge and belief at the time, the expected course of action
and the expected future financial performance of Coeur. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as necessarily indicative of
actual future results, and readers of this presentation are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these projections. These projections have been prepared by, and
are the responsibility of, Coeurs management. Neither Coeurs independent auditors, nor any other
independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to
these projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance
on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, such projections.
The assumptions and estimates underlying these projections are inherently uncertain and,
although considered reasonable by the management of Coeur as of the date of their
preparation, are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in these projections, including, among others, risks
and uncertainties relating to Coeurs businesses (including its ability to achieve
strategic goals, objectives and targets over applicable periods), industry performance, the regulatory environment, general business and economic
conditions and other factors described in the Risk Factors section of Coeurs
annual report on Form 10-K and its other periodic reports filed with the SEC.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these projections are indicative of the future
performance of Coeur or that actual results will not differ materially from those
presented. Inclusion of these projections in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in
these projections will be achieved. Coeur does not intend to update or otherwise revise these
projections to reflect circumstances existing since their preparation or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error. Furthermore, Coeur
does not intend to update or revise these projections to reflect changes in general
economic or industry conditions. |

Mineral reserves and mineralized material estimate as reported by Goldcorp in its Annual
Information Form dated March 31, 2014 ("AIF") for the financial year ended
December 31, 2013, available to Canadian investors at www.sedar.com under Goldcorp's profile. As discussed in the AIF, mineral reserves and
mineralized material were prepared by Goldcorp in accordance with NI 43-101 under the
supervision of a qualified person. Coeur is not treating these historical estimates as
current and has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral reserves or mineralized material
for Coeurs purposes. Coeur's qualified person will review and verify the scientific and
technical information of Goldcorp, as well as complete the other work
necessary for purposes of preparing a 43-101 technical report, including validation of data quality, resource model accuracy, and costs used in
reserve and mineralized material cutoffs.
As discussed in the AIF, mineral reserves were calculated by Goldcorp using metal prices of
$1,300 per gold ounce and $22 per silver ounce, and mineralized material were
calculated using $1,500 per gold ounce and $24 per silver ounce. Mineralized material are in addition to mineral reserves and do not have
demonstrated economic viability. Rounding of tons, as required by reporting guidelines, may
result in apparent differences between tons and grade. |
