 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  NYSE: CDE  2018 Proxy Statement Highlights  April – May 2018 
 

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  Cautionary Statements  This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities legislation in the United States and Canada, including statements regarding executive compensation program components, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. 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, silver, zinc and lead 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 (“SEC”), and the Canadian securities regulators, including, without limitation, Coeur's most recent report on Form 10-K. 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. 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 all-in sustaining costs and EBITDA. 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 all-in sustaining costs and EBITDA are important measures in assessing the Company's overall financial performance.    * 
 

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  Cautionary Statements  Reserves, Resources and Mineralized MaterialCoeur is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 SEC Industry Guide 7 (“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. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.In this presentation, and in our other filings with the SEC, 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.   * 
 

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  Important Additional Information  In connection with the solicitation of proxies, Coeur Mining, Inc.

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  Relevant Terms  We use the following terms in this presentation and in the Proxy Statement to describe our operations and results, some of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the applicable non-GAAP reconciliation tables in the appendix to this presentation.  Term  Definition  AIP  Annual incentive plan  AISC(1)  All-in sustaining costs. AISC is a non-GAAP financial measure  Ag  Silver  AgEq  Silver equivalent. Silver equivalence assumes a 60:1 silver to gold ratio except where noted as the ratio of average spot prices. Average spot prices for 2016 and 2017 were $17.14 and $17.05, respectively, for silver, and $1,251 and $1,257, respectively, for gold. The average spot silver-to-gold equivalence ratios for 2017 and 2016 were 74:1 and 73:1, respectively.  AgEqOz  Silver equivalent ounce  FCF/free cash flow  Cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and Gold Production Royalty Payments  EBITDA  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  2017 CEO Compensation Tied to Stockholder Returns  60% of compensation linked to stock performance  (Based 100% on Company Performance) 
 

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  2017 Incentive Plan Aligned with Strategic Objectives & Purpose Statement  “TRIFR” means Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate.“NOV” means notice of violation of environmental regulations for actions by Coeur that caused or created the potential for environmental harm.“PSUs” means performance share units. 
 

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016   *  2017 executive compensation programs were aligned with our operational and financial performance and stockholder returns. One-year TSR in 2017 was negative, but given the 267% peer-leading one-year TSR in 2016, two-year TSR was still 70%, and three-year TSR was 21%, at the 80th percentile of our peer group  CEO compensation declined year-over-year from 2016 to 2017, in line with the decline in one-year TSR in 2017  Three-year realized compensation for our CEO was 22% lower than pay reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) due primarily to zero or minimal payouts on performance shares for the three-year periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 driven by a weaker metals price environment and the resulting impact on TSR and performance under internal performance share metrics  2015 performance share award paid out at 150% of overall target based on maximum performance on two of three measures:three-year TSR relative to peers for the 2015-2017 performance period was very strong at the 80th percentile, resulting in a 200% of target payout of performance shares tied to relative TSR performance (representing 50% of performance share opportunity awarded in early 2015)OCF per share increased by 121.5% over the 2015-2017 performance period resulting in a 200% of target payout of performance shares tied to OCF per share (representing 25% of performance share opportunity awarded in early 2015); andthe remaining 25% of 2015 performance shares were tied to growth in reserves and other measured and indicated mineralized material per share and resulted in zero payout based on achievement below threshold, due primarily to the issuance of shares over the three-year period as part of initiatives to strengthen our balance sheet and as consideration for acquisitions expected to be accretive over the long term  Strong Company performance against strategic annual objectives resulted in above-target 134% performance under the corporate component of the AIP and above-target payouts to NEOs; however, due to negative one-year TSR in 2017, in accordance with the Company’s compensation philosophy and policies, the individual components of NEO payouts were capped at 100% and paid out in the range of 90-95%  2017 NEO Compensation Aligned with Stockholder Returns 
 

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  Multiyear CEO Compensation Aligned with Stockholder Returns  “Cash Incentives” includes an aggregate of $3,000,000 earned under Mr. Krebs’s supplemental incentive opportunity entered into in 2014 and tied to multi-year performance objectives.  *  SCT pay awarded at levels consistent with our compensation philosophyRealized pay 23% lower than SCT pay, demonstrating alignment with stockholders during a period of time when our stock initially declined and then significantly strengthened as metals prices recovered and the results of our multi-year strategic transformation took holdRealizable pay 35% higher than SCT pay reflects the alignment of our compensation program with strengthening TSR and provides our NEOs with appropriate incentives to achieve rigorous performance goals tied to stockholder returns 
 

 NYSE: CDE  JC 2016  Continued Strong Stockholder Engagement in 2017  Reached out to stockholders representing approximately 64% of outstanding shares (as of June 30, 2017) Engaged with all who responded to our invitation to discuss corporate governance, executive compensation and other mattersOther meaningful 2017 engagement:14 management presentations145 one-on-one meetings with investorsHosted 6 conference calls with investors and analysts allowing for questions and answers with managementThe 2017 executive compensation program incorporated several significant changes made over the past several years in response to stockholder feedback.
