Financial Results
Third quarter 2025 revenue totaled $555 million compared to $481 million in the prior period and $314 million in the third quarter of 2024. The Company produced 111,364 and 4.8 million ounces of gold and silver, respectively, during the quarter. Metal sales for the quarter totaled 114,495 ounces of gold and 5.0 million ounces of silver. Average realized gold and silver prices for the quarter were $3,148 and $38.93 per ounce, respectively, compared to $3,021 and $33.72 per ounce in the prior period and $2,309 and $29.86 per ounce in the third quarter of 2024.
Gold and silver sales represented 65% and 35% of quarterly revenue, respectively, compared to 67% and 33% in the prior period. The Company’s U.S. operations accounted for approximately 55% of both third and second quarter revenue.
Adjusted costs applicable to sales per ounce1 of gold and silver totaled $1,215 and $14.95 respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $2 million, or 11%, quarter-over-quarter to $15 million, due primarily to increased stock-based compensation.
Coeur invested approximately $30 million ($25 million expensed and $5 million capitalized) in exploration during the quarter, compared to approximately $30 million ($23 million expensed and $7 million capitalized) in the prior period. See the “Operations” and “Exploration” sections for additional detail on the Company’s exploration activities.
The Company recorded a significant income and mining tax benefit during the third quarter driven primarily by recording a $216 million tax benefit related to recognition of a significant portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets, including Federal Net Operating Losses on the balance sheet at September 30, 2025. The $216 million valuation allowance release is comprised of $54 million related to current year income and $162 million related to forecasted future year income. The recognition of the deferred tax asset was triggered as the three year cumulative net income position from the Company’s U.S. operations turned positive during the quarter. Cash income and mining taxes paid during the period totaled approximately $36 million and have totaled $137 million year to date, including $63 million and $38 million in the first and second quarters, respectively.
Quarterly operating cash flow increased to $238 million compared to $207 million in the prior period, driven by strong operational performance, increased metal sales and higher average metals prices. Changes in working capital during the quarter were $(1) million.
Third quarter capital expenditures were $49 million compared to $61 million in the prior period. Sustaining and development capital expenditures accounted for approximately $34 million and $15 million, or 70% and 30%, respectively, of Coeur’s total capital investment during the quarter.

- On the Hidalgo Corridor, drilling continues to deliver excellent results, outlining an additional 500 meters of strike length year to date. Since its discovery in 2019, Hidalgo has become Palmarejo’s second largest reserve after Guadalupe and is expected to expand further. Three rigs are expected to remain active in the Hidalgo Corridor through year-end
- At the Independencia Sur block, validation drilling of the historic Fresnillo resource is progressing with additional rigs added to enable completion by year-end resource calculations. This block is immediately adjacent to existing infrastructure and outside the area of interest of the Franco-Nevada gold stream agreement. Multiple veins, including Bruno and Independencia Sur, as well as potential new zones, have been intersected. Assay results are as expected and the program exhibits potential to confirm the historic resources in this area
- At the Camuchin target located to the East, scout drilling has confirmed multiple veins spanning several kilometers, and assay results indicate veins are gold-rich, with good grades and narrow widths. Planning for a subsequent phase of the program in 2026 is underway
Other
- Approximately 49% of Palmarejo’s gold sales in the third quarter were sold under the gold stream agreement with Franco-Nevada at a price of $800 per ounce, totaling 13,228 ounces.

Operational
- Silver and gold production in the third quarter increased to 1.6 million and 14,801 ounces, respectively, compared to 1.5 million and 14,302 ounces in the prior period and 1.2 million and 9,690 ounces in the third quarter of 2024
- Ore tons placed during the quarter totaled 8.3 million tons, consisting of approximately 6.3 million tons through the crushing circuit, down from 6.7 million tons in the prior quarter largely due to planned downtime in July to complete several crusher upgrades. Additionally, the Company placed approximately 2.0 million tons of direct to pad (DTP) material, up from 1.1 million tons of DTP material placed in the prior quarter
Financial
- Third quarter adjusted CAS1 for silver and gold on a co-product basis totaled $17.73 and $1,585 per ounce
- Capital expenditures decreased to $12 million compared to $25 million in the prior period, driven mainly by capitalized stripping to offload material from the legacy Stage I and II leach pads
- Free cash flow1 in the third quarter totaled $30 million compared to $15 million in the prior period
Exploration
- Exploration investment in the third quarter totaled approximately $3 million substantially all expensed compared to roughly $4 million ($1 million expensed and $3 million capitalized) in the prior quarter
- One rig was active during the quarter conducting infill, expansion and condemnation drilling at Lincoln Hill. Most results are pending but visual review of core indicate mineralized veins in the expected locations
- Significant focus was placed on completion of geological models to support the Nevada Packard, Rochester and Lincoln Hill resource modelling for year end. This modeling is allowing us to make rapid strides in our understanding of the orebodies and this solid foundation is being used to support planning for district exploration in 2026
Guidance
- The Company has revised Rochester’s 2025 production and cost guidance ranges to reflect the cumulative effect of lower than planned tons placed under leach year-to-date due to crusher down time to complete a range of upgrades and the expected timing of these placed ounces
- Full-year 2025 production is expected to be 6.0 – 6.7 million ounces of silver (previously 7.0 – 8.3 million ounces) and 55,000 – 62,500 ounces of gold (previously 60,000 – 75,000 ounces)
- Adjusted CAS1 for 2025 are expected to be $17.00 – $18.50 per silver ounce (previously $14.50 – $16.50 per silver ounce) and $1,550 – $1,650 per gold ounce (previously $1,250 – $1,450 per gold ounce)
- Capital expenditures are expected to be $57 – $70 million, which is unchanged from the previous guidance range

Operational
- Gold production in the third quarter increased to 27,231 ounces compared to 26,555 ounces in the prior period and 24,104 ounces in the third quarter of 2024
- Stronger production during the quarter was driven by higher average gold grade partially offset by a decrease in mill throughput
Financial
- Third quarter adjusted CAS1 decreased to $1,659 per ounce compared to $1,713 per ounce in the prior period, due primarily to increased metal sales
- Capital expenditures increased 4% quarter-over-quarter to $16 million. The second quarter marked the end of the multi-year underground mine development program at Kensington
- Free cash flow1 in the third quarter increased to $31 million, reflecting increased metals sales
Exploration
- Exploration investment in the third quarter totaled approximately $4 million ($2 million expensed and $2 million capitalized), compared to $5 million ($2 million expensed and $3 million capitalized) in the prior period
- Programs in Upper Kensington (expansion and infill drilling at Zones 30 and 30B) were completed during the quarter with excellent results received. Drilling is continuing in Lower Kensington with most results pending but exhibiting highly encouraging visual results
- At Elmira, drilling is progressing well, with over 95% of the drillholes intersecting mineralization as predicted by the geology model. Results are as expected, supporting the potential for positive contributions to year end resource and reserve calculations
- Drilling at the Johnson target, located 150 meters to the east of Elmira was not in the original budget for 2025 but excellent 2024 results received in the first quarter warranted follow-up this year
Guidance
- The Company has increased Kensington’s 2025 gold production guidance range and narrowed its cost guidance range to reflect strong year-to-date performance and higher expected mining face availability in the fourth quarter as a result of the Company’s recently completed multi-year investment in underground development
- Full-year 2025 production is expected to be 98,500 – 108,500 gold ounces (previously 92,500 – 107,500 ounces)
- Adjusted CAS1 in 2025 are expected to be $1,700 – $1,800 per gold ounce (previously $1,700 – $1,900 per ounce)
- Capital expenditures are expected to be $55 – $64 million, which are unchanged from the previous guidance range
- Exploration investment in 2025 is expected to be $11 – $14 million ($6 – $8 million expensed and $5 – $6 million capitalized), which are unchanged from the previous guidance range

- All drilling in the quarter was focused on the Juno deposit, following up on 2024 expansion drilling, which extended mineralization approximately 500 feet to the northwest. This program was completed at the end of August
- Results from all programs support a meaningful expected contribution to year-end reserve and resource estimates
Guidance
- The Company has increased Wharf’s 2025 gold and silver production guidance ranges to reflect strong year-to-date performance and higher expected grades in the fourth quarter
- Full-year 2025 production is expected to be 93,000 – 103,000 gold ounces (previously 90,000 – 100,000 ounces) and 100,000 – 150,000 ounces of silver (previously 50,000 – 200,000 ounces)

Exploration
The Company’s exploration investment in 2025 is expected to total $67 – $77 million for expansion drilling (classified as exploration expense) and $10 – $16 million for infill drilling (capitalized exploration) for a total expected investment of $77 – $93 million.
Top exploration priorities for 2025 are: (1) continuing to build the inferred pipeline at Palmarejo to provide optionality to the operation, including to the east of existing operations outside the Franco-Nevada gold stream area of interest, where 60% of this year’s exploration investment is budgeted; (2) outlining higher-grade structures to enhance near-term margins and longer-term free cash flow profile of Rochester; (3) maintaining a 5-year reserve-based mine life at Kensington while finding higher-grade zones to enhance cash flow; (4) completing the expansion and infill programs at Wharf to add to the life of mine; (5) building on the new geological model and understanding at Silvertip to grow the resource base, and; (6) rapidly building detailed knowledge of Las Chispas and maintaining mine life.
During the third quarter, Coeur invested approximately $30 million ($25 million expensed and $5 million capitalized), compared to roughly $30 million ($23 million expensed and $7 million capitalized) in the prior period.
At Silvertip, exploration investment totaled approximately $10 million in the third quarter, compared to $9 million in the prior period, with up to five rigs drilling across the property. During the third quarter, drilling focused on a number of targets in the Southern Silver, Discovery, Camp Creek and Saddle Zones, using one underground rig and four surface rigs. Drilling was also undertaken over the Silverknife Property which is under option agreement. In addition to drilling a comprehensive regional program of geological mapping, rock chip sampling, stream and soil geochemical surveys and a LiDAR survey was completed. Results are mostly pending but core review indicates highly encouraging visual results.
