    silver and approximately 170,000 ounces of gold


Coeur d′Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE) (TSX:CDM) (ASX:CXC) today
announced record quarterly sales and operating cash flow, driven by its
two new, long-life gold and silver mines in Mexico and Bolivia. The
Company′s Kensington gold mine in Alaska, the world′s newest pure gold
mine, began processing ore in the second quarter ahead of schedule and
is expected to drive a 135% increase in companywide gold production this
year over last year′s levels.


Companywide metal sales jumped nearly $33 million, or 49%, to a record
$101.0 million, compared to last year′s second quarter, aided by strong
production and robust metals prices. Operating cash flow increased 116%
compared to last year′s second quarter to a quarterly Company record of
$32.5 million, driven by Coeur′s Palmarejo and San Bartolom?ines,
which started operations within the past two years.


'Coeur made significant progress this quarter, and we are pleased to
have achieved the highest metal sales and operating cash flow in Company
history. As our third of three new, long-life, precious metals mines
comes on-stream, our strategy has us well-positioned to take advantage
of the continued strength in precious metals prices,? said Dennis E.
Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coeur. 'The
successful and early start-up of our Kensington gold mine in Alaska,
together with Palmarejo and San Bartolom?hould continue to deliver
record growth in metal sales and cash flow for shareholders.?


'Companywide, we remain on-track to produce approximately 17.3 million
ounces of silver this year with annual gold production increasing over
135% to 170,000 ounces,? concluded Mr. Wheeler.


The Company produced 4.2 million ounces of silver and 23,124 ounces of
gold compared to 3.9 million ounces of silver and 13,795 ounces of gold
during last year′s second quarter. Cash operating costs declined to
$8.06 per ounce of silver versus $8.57 per ounce during last year′s
second quarter. Silver production contributed 73% of the Company′s total
metal sales during the second quarter compared to 84% during the second
quarter of 2009.


For the first six months of 2010, metal sales increased nearly $78
million, or approximately 70%, to a record $189.3 million. Coeur
produced 7.6 million ounces of silver and 48,907 ounces of gold during
the first six months of 2010, compared to 7.4 million ounces of silver
and 17,586 ounces of gold during last year′s first half. Cash operating
costs averaged $7.77 per ounce of silver. Silver production contributed
70% of the Company′s total metal sales during the first half of 2010
compared to 87% during the first half of 2009.

Operational Highlights

Kensington (Alaska) ? World′s Newest
Pure Gold Mine


  • Production started ahead of schedule and is on-track for targeted 2010
    production of approximately 50,000 ounces

  • Process plant operating at design tonnage of 1,250 tons per day, ahead
    of schedule

  • Recovery rates during initial month of ramp-up consistent with plan
    and expected to climb as processing of higher-grade ore begins

  • First two gold concentrate shipments have been sent to China National
    Gold Corporation, marking a groundbreaking agreement, the first of its
    kind, between a Chinese state-owned corporation and a U.S. precious
    metals mine

  • Expected annual average gold production of approximately 125,000
    ounces over initial 12.5 year mine life

  • Projected average life-of-mine cash operating costs of $490 per ounce

Palmarejo (Mexico) ? Test Work
Identifying Next Steps to Boost Operating Performance


Many important milestones were achieved during the second quarter as
part of the Company′s on-going optimization program, which are expected
to increase production and lower costs during the remainder of 2010.
These include:


  • Commissioning of Merrill Crowe refining plant during June

  • Mining transitioned in June from development activities to mining of
    higher-grade ore from underground production stopes

  • Improved ore sorting and blending procedures for the various ore types
    at Palmarejo

  • Second quarter production increased to 1.1 million ounces compared to
    587,716 ounces last year′s second quarter, (the mine′s initial quarter
    of operations), while gold production increased to 19,950 ounces
    compared to 9,730 ounces last year

  • First half silver production totaled 2.4 million ounces while gold
    production was 42,527 ounces

  • Cash operating costs averaged $10.78 per ounce of silver during the
    quarter and $7.83 per ounce of silver during the first half of 2010
    versus $19.44 per ounce during last year′s second quarter and first
    six months

  • 5.4 million silver ounces and 97,267 gold ounces have been produced in
    total, representing less than 9% of total contained mineral reserves


In July, silver production increased 50% while gold production jumped
58%, marking the mine′s second highest month of gold production since
inception. Cash operating costs during July were ($0.97) per silver
ounce, dramatically reduced from the second quarter′s average cash
operating costs of $10.78 per silver ounce. These improvements are a
direct result of recently commenced mining of higher-grade underground
ore and improved ore blending procedures.


Full-year 2010 production is expected to reach approximately 6.3 million
ounces of silver and 109,000 ounces of gold at an average cash operating
cost of approximately $3.00 per silver ounce.

San Bartolom?Bolivia) ? Achieving
Consistent Production Levels at Reduced Costs


  • Markedly higher production and reduced costs compared to last quarter
    due to process handling improvements and mining of higher-grade ore

  • Production increased 79% to 1.9 million ounces in the second quarter
    compared to 1.0 million ounces produced during the first quarter

  • Cash operating costs dropped 22% to $7.78 per ounce in the second
    quarter, down from $9.98 in the first quarter due to a 52% increase in
    tons mined and a 34% increase in average grade mined

  • Strong performance continued in July with silver production reaching
    approximately 679,000 ounces and cash costs declining a further to
    $7.39 per ounce

  • Full-year 2010 silver production estimate increased to approximately
    6.5 million ounces at average cash operating costs of approximately
    $8.00 per ounce

  • 13.2 million silver ounces have been produced in total, representing
    less than 9% of total contained mineral reserves

Rochester (Nevada) ? Progress
Continues on Plan to Restart Active Mining in 2011


  • On-target to restart active mining activities next year, leading to at
    least six years of incremental production, averaging 30,000 ounces of
    gold and 2.5 million ounces of silver annually

  • Expected production from resumption of active mining will be in
    addition to on-going leaching activities

  • Project will make significant contribution to Nevada economy, creating
    nearly 200 new jobs

  • 2010 production forecast increased to 2.0 million ounces silver along
    with 10,000 ounces of gold at an average cash cost of approximately
    $3.50 per silver ounce

Metals Prices


The Company′s average realized silver and gold prices during the second
quarter were $18.56 per ounce and $1,176 per ounce, representing
increases of 35% and 26% over prior year quarter. During the first half
of 2010, the Company′s average realized silver and gold prices were
$17.74 per ounce and $1,138 per ounce, representing increases of 34% and
22% compared to the first half of 2009.

Financial Highlights


The Company reported operating income of $1.9 million during the quarter
compared to an $8.8 million operating loss during last year′s second
quarter. During the first six months of 2010, the Company reported
operating income of $1.0 million versus an $8.5 million operating loss
during the first six months of 2009.


The Company′s financial statements reflect several non-cash adjustments.
The largest component of these non-cash adjustments relates to its
obligation to make royalty payments on a minimum of 400,000 ounces of
future gold production from the Palmarejo silver and gold mine. This
royalty financing transaction was completed in January of 2009,
providing the Company with $75 million of cash used to complete the
construction at Palmarejo. This minimum obligation requires the Company
to account for the quarter-to-quarter changes in these estimated future
payments as a derivative. As the gold price rises (or declines) from
quarter to quarter, the estimated future value of these royalty payments
changes. This causes quarterly, non-cash, unrealized adjustments to flow
through the Company′s income statement.


For the quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $50.7 million, or
($0.57) per share. This net loss includes $46.6 million of negative
non-cash adjustments.2 During last year′s second quarter, the
Company reported net income of $11.6 million, or $0.17 per share, which
included $18.5 million in positive non-cash adjustments.3


During the first six months of 2010, the Company reported a net loss of
$58.8 million, or ($0.69) per share. This net loss includes $58.7
million of negative non-cash adjustments.4 During the first
six months of 2009, the Company reported net income of $17.7 million, or
$0.27 per share, which included $24.8 million of positive non-cash
adjustments.5


At June 30th, 2010, cash and equivalents totaled $41.2
million and the Company had approximately 89.3 million shares
outstanding.

Exploration Highlights


The Company′s exploration strategy is largely focused on drilling
activities on its large land positions surrounding existing operations.
This strategy has generated very cost-effective, near-term additions to
the Company′s substantial mineral reserve and resource base.

Palmarejo (Mexico)


The Palmarejo exploration program, which completed a total of 12,359
meters (40,458 feet) of core drill in the second quarter, focused on
several promising targets around the existing surface and underground
mines.


In addition, drilling recommenced on the Guadalupe Norte zone at the
north end of the long Guadalupe mineral system in the Palmarejo District
where a total of 7,420 meters (24,344 feet) of core drill was completed
in the second quarter. Favorable results were obtained from several of
the known ore shoots (clavos). Notable results are; 18.5 meters true
width @ 3.51 g/t Au, 249 g/t Ag
in core hole RN-008 from Rosario
Norte, 16.1 m @ 1.95 Au, 252 Ag in hole 0004 from Tucson, 7.3
m @ 20.33 Au, 1,006 Ag
in hole 032 from 108 Clavo, 2.3 m @ 30.12
Au, 2,416 Ag
in hole 0039 from 76 Clavo and 6.1 meters @ 5.67 Au
and 157 Ag
from hole 351 in Guadalupe Norte.

Kensington (Alaska)


With Kensington now in production, the Company started exploration in
the second quarter of 2010. The main focus of this work was on the
Horrible structure, a prominent, gold-bearing quartz vein and vein swarm
situated about 650 meters west of the current Kensington mining area. A
total of 9,941 feet (3,030 meters) of core drilling was completed at
Horrible in the second quarter. Drilling has cut multiple quartz-vein
structures down-dip and on-strike of the known zone. Drilling will
continue on Horrible and other nearby targets in the third quarter.

Martha and Joaquin (Argentina)


Exploration at the Martha mine in Argentina consisted of target
generation and drill site selection. In addition to Martha, the Company
also conducted exploration in other parts of the Santa Cruz Province,
about 80 kilometers north of Martha. In particular, the Company focused
on Joaquin, on which the Company has an option to acquire up to a 71%
managing joint venture interest. During the second quarter, a fourth
phase of drilling and further reconnaissance to identify new targets
commenced at Joaquin. The best results were from La Negra, where a main
zone measuring 1,000 meters on strike and up to 170 meters vertically
has been defined, as well as seven sub-parallel zones of silver and gold
mineralization.

Rochester (Nevada)


Late in the quarter, drilling commenced on new targets between the
Rochester and Packard mines. Over 3,700 feet of angled reverse
circulation drilling was completed on new targets in the NE-trending
structural corridor between the two mines. Numerous geochemical
anomalies have been defined in this belt and the Company believes there
is good potential to add to the total mineral resource and reserves in
this area. As of December 31, 2009, Rochester had 25,884,000 ounces of
silver and 233,000 ounces of gold in proven and probable reserves.

2010 Safety Award


In June, the Company′s Coeur South America exploration team received a
major award from the Chilean Safety Association (ACHS). Coeur was
awarded the 'Honors Award?
in safety, the highest award that ACHS confers every year among over
10,000 Chilean companies. Coeur was the only company in the mining
industry presented with an award, which recognized the attention to
safety from all Coeur South America employees.


Donald J. Birak, Coeur′s Senior Vice President of Exploration commented,
'We are very pleased that the efforts of our South American exploration
team have been recognized by ACHS. While we continue to operate at the
highest safety standards, I would like to congratulate our South
American team for receiving this important award, and thank all of our
exploration groups for  their high level of attention to safety.?

Non-GAAP Measures


We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined
under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain
non-GAAP financial measures, including cash operating 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

recovery to be approximately 61.5% for silver and 93% for gold. However,
ultimate recoveries will not be known until leaching operations cease,
which is currently estimated for 2014. Current recovery may vary
significantly from ultimate recovery. See Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates ? Ore on Leach Pad.


(C) Current production ounces and recoveries reflect final metal
settlements of previously reported production ounces.


(D) Units sold at realized metal prices will not match reported metal
sales due primarily to the effects on revenues of mark-to-market
adjustments on embedded derivatives in the Company′s provisionally
priced sales contracts.


'Operating Costs per Ounce? and 'Cash Costs per Ounce? are calculated by
dividing the operating cash costs and cash costs computed for each of
the Company′s mining properties for a specified period by the amount of
gold ounces of silver ounces produced by that property during that same
period. Management uses cash operating costs and cash costs per ounce as
key indicators of the profitability of each of its mining properties.
Gold and silver are sold and priced in the world financial markets on a
U.S. dollar per ounce basis.


'Cash Operating Costs? and 'Cash Costs? are costs directly related to
the physical activities of producing silver and gold, and include
mining, processing and other plant costs, third-party refining and
smelting costs, marketing expenses, on-site general and administrative
costs, royalties, in-mine drilling expenditures that are related to
production and other direct costs. Sales of by-product metals are
deducted from the above in computing cash costs. Cash costs exclude
depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion, corporate general
and administrative expenses, exploration, interest, and pre-feasibility
costs. Cash operating costs include all cash costs except production
taxes and royalties, if applicable. Cash costs are calculated and
presented using the 'Gold Institute Production Cost Standard? applied
consistently for all periods presented.


Total operating costs and cash costs per ounce are non-U.S. GAAP
measures and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them
it and are urged to read all U.S. GAAP accounting disclosures presented
in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. In
addition, see the reconciliation of 'cash costs? to production costs
under 'Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Cash Costs to U.S. GAAP
Production Costs? set forth below.


The following tables present reconciliation between non-U.S. GAAP cash
operating costs per ounce and cash costs per ounce to production costs
applicable to sales including depreciation, depletion and amortization,
which is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
