</TABLE>
Inventories of ore on leach pads and in the milling process are valued
based on actual costs incurred to place such ore into production, less costs
allocated to minerals recovered through the leaching and milling processes.
Inherent in this valuation is an estimate of the percentage of the minerals on
leach pads and in process that will ultimately be recovered. Management
evaluates this estimate on an ongoing basis. Adjustments to the recovery are
accounted for prospectively. All other inventories are stated at the lower of
cost or market with cost being determined using first in, first out and
weighted average cost methods. Dore' inventory includes product at the mine
site and product held by refineries.
NOTE B:
The Company's tax expense for the first quarter of 1996 results primarily
from amounts paid for foreign withholdings tax.
NOTE C:
On March 8, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of $140.0
million of Mandatory Adjustable Redeemable Convertible Securities (MARCS). The
Company issued 6,588,235 shares of MARCS which were offered at a public
offering price of $21.25 per share. Each share of MARCS is mandatorily
convertible four years after issuance into 1.111 shares of Common Stock of the
Company, subject to adjustment in certain events, unless earlier converted by
the holder into Common Stock or redeemed for Common Stock by the Company. The
annual dividend payable on the MARCS will be $1.488 per share, payable
quarterly. The dividends will be deducted in computing net income (loss)
attributable to Common Shareholders. On April 8, 1996, the Company sold an
additional 489,598 shares of MARCS to the underwriters as a result of their
exercise of an overallotment option granted to them in connection with the
public offering. With the exercise of the overallotment option, the
-8-
<PAGE>
Company has sold a total of 7,077,833 shares of MARCS for a total offering
price of $150.4 million which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of
$145.8 million.
NOTE D:
On December 21, 1995, the Company announced it had entered into an option
agreement to acquire a 19.9% interest in a publicly listed Australian gold
producer, Gasgoyne Gold Mines NL ("Gasgoyne"), and intended to extend an offer
to Gasgoyne's shareholders to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
Gasgoyne. On January 31, 1996, Coeur made the filings required under the
Australian securities laws with the Australian Securities Commission ("ASC")
to initiate proceedings for the public offer. As of April 26, 1996, on which
date the Company's offer expired, Coeur held or was entitled to hold
approximately 35.4% of Gasgoyne's outstanding shares which it acquired by
issuing a total of 1,419,832 shares of the Company's Common Stock and paying a
total of approximately $15.4 million to Gasgoyne shareholders. Commencing in
the second quarter of 1996, Coeur will begin reporting its proportionate share
of Gasgoyne's net results of operations pursuant to standards set forth under
generally accepted accounting principles for the equity method of accounting
for investments.
On January 26, 1996, for a total consideration of approximately US$10.7
million, the Company acquired 5.5 million shares and options to acquire an
additional 5.0 million shares of Orion Resources NL, an Australian gold mining
company ("Orion"). Earlier in 1995 and in 1994, Coeur had acquired a total of
3.33 million shares of Orion for a total cost of US$3.8 million. On March 27,
1996, the Company exercised its option to acquire the additional 5.0 million
shares of Orion. As a result, Coeur holds approximately 19.2% of Orion's
outstanding shares.
NOTE E:
Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to
conform to current year classifications.
NOTE F:
Other than as stated in the notes above, in the opinion of management,
the foregoing unaudited financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations for the periods shown.

<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The results of the Company's operations are significantly affected by the
market prices of gold and silver which may fluctuate widely and are affected
by many factors beyond the Company's control, including interest rates,
expectations regarding inflation, currency values, governmental decisions
regarding the disposal of precious metals stockpiles, global and regional
political and economic conditions, and other factors. The Company's currently
operating mines are the Rochester Mine in Nevada, which it wholly owns and
operates; the Golden Cross Mine in New Zealand, in which the Company has an
80% operating interest; the El Bronce Mine, a Chilean gold mine of which the
Company acquired operating control in October 1994; and the Fachinal Mine, a
Chilean gold mine wholly-owned by the Company at which initial production
commenced in late October 1995.
On February 9, 1996, Silver Valley Resources Corporation ("Silver
Valley"), 50% owned by the Company, announced a program to resume operations
at the Coeur and Galena Mines with full production scheduled to commence in
June 1996. Silver Valley estimates that during the mines' first full year of
operations, they will produce a total of approximately 3,000,000 ounces of
silver per annum. Silver Valley is also conducting a development and
exploration program at the properties in connection with which it is expanding
the existing workings, improving infrastructure and conducting diamond
drilling to further increase reserves and mine life.
The Company has an option until July 1997 to purchase a 51% ownership
interest in the El Bronce Mine if it invests the remaining $3.9 million option
payment and also invests a minimum of an additional $1.1 million for
exploration and mine development designed to expand ore reserves and increase
annual gold production. Since the Company took over operations at El Bronce,
it has been able to increase production 42.5% from approximately 40,000 ounces
per year to approximately 57,000 ounces forecast in 1996.
Construction of the new Fachinal mine was completed at a total cost of
approximately $41.1 million and initial production commenced in October 1995.
The mine presently is expected to produce approximately 44,000 ounces of gold
and 2.8 million ounces of silver during its first full year of commercial
production.
A production decision at the Kensington Property is subject to completion
of an updated feasibility study, a market price of gold of at least $400 per
ounce and the receipt of certain required
-10-
<PAGE>
permits. The market price of gold (London final) on May 10, 1996 was $393.20
per ounce. With respect to the permits, the Company is unable to control the
timing of their issuance; however, it is expected that all permits will be
received by the end of 1996.
On April 26, 1996, the Company's offer (the "Offer") to acquire
outstanding shares of Gasgoyne Gold Mines NL, an Australian gold mining
company, ("Gasgoyne") expired. Pursuant to the Offer, Coeur acquired
approximately 35.4% of Gasgoyne's outstanding shares. (Pursuant to a competing
bid that expired on the same date, another Australian gold mining company,
Sons of Gwalia Limited ("Sons of Gwalia"), acquired approximately 61.4% of
Gasgoyne's outstanding shares.) Coeur has also acquired approximately 19.2% of
the outstanding shares of Orion Resources NL, an Australian gold mining
company ("Orion"). Gasgoyne and Orion own 50% and 45%, respectively, of the
Yilgarn Star Mine located in western Australia, which produced approximately
110,600 ounces of gold in Gasgoyne's fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 and
approximately 81,727 ounces of gold in the nine months ended March 31, 1996.
Coeur presently intends to retain its Gasgoyne and Orion shares, which
represent Coeur's entry into the Australian gold sector and are intended to
position Coeur for further expansion in the Australian Pacific Rim Region.
Commencing in the second quarter of 1996, Coeur will begin reporting its
proportionate share of Gasgoyne's net results of operations pursuant to
standards set forth under generally accepted accounting principles for the
equity method of accounting for investments. The Company estimates that based
on Gasgoyne's projected results of operations for the year ended December 31,
1996, the Company's share of Gasgoyne's earnings in 1996, net of goodwill
amortization and financing costs, will approximate $1 million.
The Company's business plan is to continue to acquire mining properties
and/or businesses that are operational or expected to become operational in
the near future so that they can reasonably be expected to contribute to the
Company's near-term cash flow from operations and expand the Company's gold
and/or silver production.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements relating to the
Company's gold and silver mining business, including estimated production
data, expected operating schedules and other operating data. Actual
production, operating schedules and results of operations could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements include (i) changes in the market prices of
gold and silver, (ii) the uncertainties inherent in the Company's exploratory
and developmental activities, (iii) the uncertainties inherent in the
estimation of gold and silver ore reserves, (iv) changes that could result
from the Company's future acquisition of
-11-
<PAGE>
new mining properties or businesses, (v) the risks and hazards inherent in the
mining business (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents,
weather or geologically related conditions), (vi) the effects of environmental
and other governmental regulations, and (vii) the risks inherent in the
ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in
foreign countries.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended
March 31, 1995.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SALES AND GROSS PROFITS
Sales of concentrates and dore' in the first quarter of 1996 increased by
$4.7 million, or 26%, over the first quarter of 1995. The increase in sales is
primarily attributable to an increase in gold and silver production. In the
first quarter of 1996, the Company produced 2,191,685 ounces of silver and
45,201 ounces of gold compared to 1,528,817 ounces of silver and 36,571 ounces
of gold in the first quarter of 1995. Silver and gold prices averaged $5.54
and $400.14 per ounce, respectively, in the first quarter of 1996, compared
with $4.70 and $379.10 per ounce, respectively, in the first quarter of 1995.
The cost of mine operations in the first quarter of 1996 increased by
$3.6 million, or 22%, over the prior year's comparable quarter. The increase
is primarily due to an increase in gold and silver production. Gross profit
from mining operations in the first quarter of 1996 increased by $1.2 million,
or 63%, to $3.0 million compared to gross profit from mining operations of
$1.8 million in the first quarter of 1995. Mine operations gross profit as a
percent of sales amounted to 13% in the first quarter of 1996, compared to 10%
in the first quarter of 1995. The improvement in the gross profit percentage
is primarily attributable to higher gold and silver prices. In the first
quarter of 1996, the Company realized gold and silver prices of $5.57 and
$401.40, respectively, compared with average market prices of $5.54 and
$400.14, respectively.
OTHER INCOME
Interest and other income in the first quarter of 1996 decreased by $.5
million, or 19%, compared with the first quarter of 1995. The decrease is due
primarily to a decrease in the average size of the Company's cash and
short-term investment portfolio during the first quarter of 1996 as compared
to the first quarter of 1995.
-12-
<PAGE>
EXPENSES
Total expenses in the first quarter of 1996 decreased by $2.7 million
compared to the prior year's first quarter. The decrease is primarily due to a
decrease in interest expense of $2.3 million which is the result of the
Company's underwritten call for redemption of $75 million principal amount of
7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures during the fourth quarter of 1995. In
addition, accounting and legal expenses decreased by $.1 million, exploration
expense decreased by $.1 million and idle facilities expense decreased by $.5
million. Those decreases are partially offset by increases in administrative
expenses of $.1 million and general corporate expenses of $.2 million.
NET INCOME (LOSS) FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The Company's income from continuing operations before income taxes
amounted to $.2 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to a loss from
continuing operations before income taxes of $3.2 million in the first quarter
of 1995. The Company provided $.1 million for income taxes in the first
quarter of 1996 compared with a provision of $.2 million in the first quarter
of 1995. As a result, the Company reported a net income from continuing
operations of $.1 million, or $.01 per share, in the first quarter of 1996
compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $3.4 million, or .21 per
share, in the first quarter of 1995. In the first quarter of 1995, the Company
also reported income of $.2 million, or $.01 per share, arising from
discontinued operations. As a result, the Company's net income for the first
quarter of 1996 is $.1 million, or $.01 per share, compared with a net loss of
$3.2 million, or $.20 per share, in 1995's first quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
WORKING CAPITAL; CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company's working capital at March 31, 1996 was approximately $212.2
million compared to $105.6 million at December 31, 1995. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 10.2 to one at March 31, 1996 compared to
6.0 to one at December 31, 1995.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 1996
was $1.3 million compared to $3.3 million used in operating activities in the
first quarter of 1995. Net cash used by investing activities in the first
quarter of 1996 was $69.0 million compared
-13-
<PAGE>
to $4.9 million provided by investing activities in the prior year's
comparable period. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first
quarter of 1996 was $135.2 million, compared to $4.0 million provided in the
first quarter of 1995. As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $67.4 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to a $5.6
million increase for the comparable period in 1995.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACHINAL MINE; CAPITALIZATION OF NET OPERATING LOSS
In October 1995, the Company completed construction of the Fachinal
mining facilities. The total cost of project construction was approximately
$41.1 million. On April 19, 1995, the Company completed a limited recourse
project financing agreement with a bank syndicate lead by N.M. Rothschild &
Sons, Ltd. The agreement provides for the borrowing of up to $24 Million for
use in the construction of the Fachinal Mine, contains various covenants and
is dependent upon attainment of certain completion tests. Furthermore, the
Company is required to guarantee repayment of the borrowing until construction
of the project reaches defined completion after which the project alone is
liable for repayment. (The agreement requires the project to demonstrate
compliance with certain ore throughput and financial covenants in order for
construction to be deemed complete, in which event the Company's loan
guarantee is removed.) The interest rate prior to completion of construction
of the project was equal to LIBOR plus 1.5% and increases to LIBOR plus 2.75%
after completion. The borrowing is repayable in eight equal remaining
semiannual installments after completion of project construction. A net
operating loss of approximately $1.4 million at the Fachinal Mine was
capitalized since the mine did not reach commercial production during the
first quarter of 1996. The Company has implemented a program which is designed
to rectify certain startup inefficiencies at Fachinal. The program consists of
increased employee training and a review and optimization of the mining
methods and the overall mine plan.
PUBLIC OFFERING OF MARCS
On March 8, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of $140.0
million of Mandatory Adjustable Redeemable Convertible Securities (MARCS). The
Company issued 6,588,235 shares of MARCS which were offered at a public
offering price of $21.25 per share. Each share of MARCS is mandatorily
convertible four years after issuance into 1.111 shares of Common Stock of the
Company, subject to adjustment in certain events, unless earlier converted by
the holder into Common Stock or redeemed for Common Stock by the Company. The

additional 489,598 shares of MARCS to the underwriters as a result of their
exercise of an overallotment option granted to them in connection with the
public offering. With the exercise of the overallotment option, the Company
has sold a total of 7,077,833 shares of MARCS for a total offering price of
$150.4 million which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $145.8
million.
ACQUISITIONS OF INTERESTS IN AUSTRALIAN GOLD MINING COMPANIES
GASGOYNE. As stated above, Coeur's Offer for outstanding Gasgoyne shares
expired on April 26, 1996. Pursuant to the Offer, which was conducted on the
basis of 7 Coeur shares of Common Stock plus A$96 in exchange for each 100
Gasgoyne shares, Coeur issued a total of 1,419,832 shares of Common Stock and
paid a total of approximately A$19.5 (or US$15.4 based on prevailing currency
exchange rates) to accepting Gasgoyne shareholders, and acquired a total of
20,293,691 Gasgoyne shares constituting 35.4% of Gasgoyne's outstanding shares
(or 35.1% of Gasgoyne's outstanding shares and shares subject to outstanding
options). Pursuant to the Sons of Gwalia offer for Gasgoyne shares that also
expired on April 26, 1996, Sons of Gwalia acquired 35,159,497 Gasgoyne shares
constituting approximately 61.4% of Gasgoyne's outstanding shares (or 60.9% of
Gasgoyne's outstanding shares and shares subject to outstanding options).
Coeur's cash payments to Gasgoyne shareholders were financed by a loan
facility with Rothschild Australia Limited, which provides for a maximum of
US$50 million of borrowings at an annual interest rate equal to LIBOR plus
1.5%.
ORION. On January 24, 1996, at a cost of US$10.7 million, Coeur acquired
from Homestake Mining Company ("Homestake") 5.5 million shares of and an
option to acquire an additional 5.0 million shares of Orion held by Homestake.
(Earlier in January 1995 and in the last quarter of 1994, Coeur had acquired
3.3 million outstanding Orion shares for a total cost of approximately US$3.8
million.) On March 26, 1996, Coeur exercised the options previously acquired
from Homestake for the additional 5.0 million Orion shares for a purchase
price of US$3.8 million. As a result of the above acquisitions of Orion
shares, which were funded by Coeur's own cash resources, Coeur presently owns
approximately 19.2% of Orion's outstanding shares.
FEDERAL NATURAL RESOURCES ACTION
On March 22, 1996, an action was filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Idaho (Civ. No. 96-0122-N-EJL) by the United States
against various defendants, including the Company, asserting claims under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
and the Clean Water Act for alleged damages to Federal natural resources in
the Coeur d'Alene River Basin of northern Idaho as a result of releases of
hazardous
-15-
<PAGE>
substances from mining activities conducted in the area since the late 1800s.
No specific monetary damages are identified, but the United States asserts
that the defendants are jointly and severally liable for costs and expenses
incurred by the United States in investigation, removal and remedial action
and the restoration or replacement of affected natural resources. In 1986 and
1992 the Company had settled similar issues with the State of Idaho and the
Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe, respectively, and believes that those prior
settlements and other factors exonerate it of further involvement with alleged
natural resource damage in the Coeur d'Alene River Basin. Accordingly, the
Company intends to vigorously defend this matter and at an appropriate stage
will seek to be dismissed from this action. At this initial stage of the
proceedings it is not possible to predict its ultimate outcome.
