HAHAHA
Wer zuletzt lacht, lacht am besten !
Schön.
Was bedeutet jede dieser Aktien steht für 4 Unzen Silber ?
Haben die 4 mal so viele Säcke Silber im Garten liegen wie Aktien?
Warum verschenken die also ihr Silber?
Warte auf Antwort.

Diese 4 Unzen pro Aktie müssen aber erst noch produziert werden, was nicht zum Nulltarif möglich ist. Ansonsten könnte man doch gleich Sunshine kaufen, wäre mal interessant zu berechnen, wieviel Unzen die pro Aktie haben inklusive des argentinischen Projektes, das sie leider nicht mehr finanzieren können.
Also, ich habe nachgesehen unter www.sunshinemining.com
Sunshine hätte allein im argentinischen Pirquita-Projekt 116 Mio. Unzen Silber, 156 Mio. Pfund Zinn und 272 Mio. Pfund Zink. Als Prieise hatten sie in der Durchführbarkeitsstudie angenommen: Ag 5.5$/oz , Sn 2.54$/lb, Zn 0.47$/lb, also zusammen Erlöse von 1162 Mio.$, bei 42.62 Mio. Sunshine-Aktien ca. 27.27 $/Aktie bei einem gegenwärtigen Kurs von 5/16 $. 27.27$/(5/16$)=87, d.h. das wäre nach der Rechenmethode "möglicher Erlös pro Aktie=Wert der Aktie" eine Versiebenundachzigfachung. Also 8700%-Chance! Nur schade, daß Sunshine demnächst pleite gehen könnte oder von den Kreditgebern übernommen wird.

Hi, Goldbauer, der Unterschied zwischen Coeur d`Alene ( CDE ) und Sunshine Mining ( SSC )
besteht ja wohl gerade darin, daß CDE über liquide Mittel von schlapp 100 Mio. US Dollar verfügt,
während Sunshine Mining so gut wie pleite ist. Den Managern von CDE ist zuzutrauen,
daß Sie Hecla und / oder SSC übernehmen . Das wärs dann...abwarten und Tee trinken !
Eins steht für mich fest: CDE wird auch bei 4,75 $/Unze überleben, während Hecla und SSC
vom Kurszettel verschwinden, so oder so...!

Hm, das wäre ja gar nicht schlecht für CDE, wenn sie SSC übernehmen, deren Schulden bezahlen und das Pirquita-Projekt durchführen könnten. Das wird mit 100 Mio.$ aber ein wenig knapp, glaube ich. Hat CDE z.Z. keine Schulden? Und bitte, nenn mich nicht Goldbauer, lieber wäre mir Rhodiumbauer!
Hallo antbear
Du hast gute Argumente zu coeur d´alene geliefert
und ich habe bereits Apex im Depot aber
CDE habe ich schon mal vor ca. 2 Jahren als Empfehlung
gehört und die Mine hat den Silberpreisverfall doch
überlebt.
Heute habe ich 600 Stück geordert.
Bin leider nur ein kleiner Fisch aber wenn sich
mein sich Kapital verdoppelt bin ich zufrieden.

Hat CDE eine Internetseite? Ich konnte keine finden, nur irgendwelche Tourismusseiten und Fire Fighters aus Couer d`Alene. Bei Siliconinvestor wird der Buchwert mit ca. 2$/Aktie angegeben, Cash mit 3.77$/Aktie, d.h. es sind Schulden vorhanden. Umsatz 99 pro Aktie gute 4$, Verlust 1.6$, ist schon heftig. Wenn der Silberpreis nicht bald steigt, ist der Buchwert in 5 Quartalen negativ, falls es nicht irgendwelche assets zu verkaufen gibt. Ich würde an deren Stelle versuchen, die 3 Goldminen zu verkaufen, wenn es geht. PAAS wäre vielleicht etwas solider im Silberbereich, oder?
Habe die Goldhotline bereits um Hilfestellung in Sachen CDE gebeten.
Hoffe auf Antwort nach dem Urlaub von Herrn Siegel .
Die Expertenmeinung von Herrn Siegel ist mir sehr wichtig !!!
Auch Herr Dr. Reitmeier vom Goldminenjournal könnte evtl. helfen.
Im übrigen kann ich das Goldminenjournal jedem zur Lektüre bzw. zum Abo empfehlen !!!
Verschiedene Meinungen einzuholen, Informationen zu sammeln, das ist wichtig.
Kaufentscheidungen treffe ich selbst.
Auch das Timing, zum richtigen Zeitpunkt zu kaufen, ist wichtig. Da hilft auch die Chartanalyse !

Hi Antbear,
ich stimme zu, daß Coeur von allen reinen Silberproduzenten (also nicht z.B. MIM oder Noranda die Silber als Beiprodukt erzeugen) die besten Aussichten hat.
Aber sag mal, wie kannst Du Hecla denn derart verdammen? Hecla in den gleichen Topf wie Sunshine zu werfen ist doch wohl maßlos übertrieben!
Sunshine ist akut konkursgefährdet und dürfte sich diesmal nicht wieder aufrappelen aber Hecla?
So hoch sind die Schulden bei Hecla ja nun auch wieder nicht und die Firma erwirtschaftet immerhin einen positiven cash flow, kann also die Schulden bedienen.
Wenn zur Zeit Verluste ausgewiesen werden (was bei Coeur ja auch der Fall ist), dann mindert das zwar den Buchwert ist aber nicht liquiditätswirksam.
Anmerkung: Ich bin sowohl bei Coeur d`Alene als auch bei Hecla mit jeweils kleineren Stückzahlen investiert.
Gruß

Der Einfachheit halber kopier ich den Quartalsbericht hier rein.
Die Tabellen werden leider wieder zusammengeschoben.
Coeur Reports 42 Percent Increase in Silver Production in the Second Quarter
COEUR D`ALENE, Idaho, Jul 28, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Coeur d`Alene Mines Corp. (NYSE: CDE chart, msgs) today reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.5 million, or $0.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2000 compared to a net loss of $9.6 million, or $0.44 per share, in the second quarter of 1999.
The second quarter was highlighted by significant improvements in production and cash costs of production compared to the first quarter of the year. Based on the second quarter results, Coeur fully expects to meet its production targets for the year 2000.
Second quarter results for the current year include a gain of $1.1 million on early retirement of $7.0 million of debt offset by a non-cash mark to market loss on the Company`s gold price protection program of $0.5 million and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 included the payment of dividends to preferred shareholders of $2.6 million. On March 15, 2000, Coeur`s preferred shares (Mandatory Adjustable Redeemable Securities or MARCS) were converted into approximately 7.9 million common shares of the Company, accordingly no dividend was paid in the second quarter of 2000.
In the first half of 2000, the Company had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $22.5 million, or $0.66 per share, compared to $19.5 million, or $0.89 per share for the corresponding six-month period of 1999.
Second Quarter Highlights
-- Produced 3.0 million ounces of silver, a 42% increase as
compared to the second quarter of 1999.
-- Produced 35,849 ounces of gold, an 11% improvement over the
first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary silver operations declined to $4.03 per
ounce, 3.5% lower than the second quarter of 1999 and a 13%
decline from the first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary gold operations were $316 per ounce
compared to $278 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999.
However, cash costs were $13 per ounce lower than the first
quarter of 2000.
-- Repurchased $7 million of the Company`s 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due in 2002.
-- Sold the Company`s 20 percent net income royalty on Pan
America Silver Corp.`s Quiruvilca silver mine in northern Peru
for total consideration of $0.7 million, comprised of 140,000
common shares of Pan American, 100,000 share purchase warrants
and $50,000.
-- Completed the first phase of a major drilling program at
Coeur`s Rochester mine to delineate additional reserves and
resources.
-- Commenced the first phase of the year 2000 exploration drill
and expansion program at Coeur Silver Valley.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "I am pleased with the progress that we have made in the second quarter and am confident that we can look forward to further improvements as the year progresses. The Company is back on track to achieve its production targets for 2000 of 11.5 million ounces of silver and 160,000 ounces of gold. I am also happy to report that we are accomplishing our goals while maintaining our commitment to the health and safety of our employees. Our Petorca mine in Chile has just received the John T. Ryan award, the top safety award in the country. Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the `A` flight in the Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s 14th Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition."
Consolidated Second Quarter Results
For the second quarter of 2000, Coeur`s production of silver and gold contained in concentrates and dore was 3.0 million ounces of silver and 35,849 ounces of gold compared to 2.1 million ounces of silver and 38,596 ounces of gold in the corresponding quarter of 1999. The increase in silver production resulted from higher output at both the Rochester mine and Coeur Silver Valley and also reflects the Company`s 100 percent ownership of Coeur Silver Valley as of September 1999. Gold production was slightly lower, as higher production from the Rochester mine was more than offset by declines at the Company`s Chilean gold operations and at the 25 percent owned Yilgarn Star mine.
Total cash costs, including third party smelter charges, for the second quarter were $4.03 per silver equivalent ounce and $316 per gold equivalent ounce compared to $4.18 per ounce and $278 per ounce for silver and gold respectively in 1999. The overall decrease in silver cash costs was attributable to higher throughput and lower unit costs at both Rochester and at Coeur Silver Valley. The increased cash costs for gold were the result of continued production shortfalls in Chile, particularly as a consequence of weather-related problems at the Company`s Fachinal mine. This was partially offset by lower cash costs at the Yilgarn Star mine.
Robert Martinez, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "Our operating performance was much improved in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter. Silver production increased 14% and gold production increased 11%. We still have some work to do in Chile, but Petorca is improving and production shortfalls at Fachinal were largely the result of severe winter storms that led us to suspend operations for approximately two weeks at the end of June. We are confident that the improvement this quarter will continue in the third quarter. I would like to congratulate Jeff Smith who was recently promoted to Vice President, North American Operations. Jeff was previously Vice President and General Manager at Coeur Rochester and his proven operating ability and management skills will now be available at the corporate level."
Revenues from the sale of concentrates and dore were $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $20.4 million for the second quarter of the previous year. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales volumes for both silver and gold mainly as the result of higher production. During the latest quarter, Coeur realized average silver and gold prices of $5.04 per ounce and $310 per ounce, respectively, compared to $5.14 per ounce for silver and $322 per ounce for gold in the second quarter of 1999.
The net loss attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter was $10.5 million compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 1999. The higher net loss was mainly the result of increased production costs and lower realized silver and gold prices. This was partially offset by lower interest and general and administrative expenses. Results for the latest quarter also include a gain from the early retirement of debt of $1.1 million offset by a non-cash mark to market loss of $0.5 million from the Company`s gold price protection program and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 include a preferred stock dividend of $2.6 million.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $81.6 million compared to $109.9 million as of December 31, 1999. During the same period, Coeur has reduced its long-term liabilities by $8.2 million.
Coeur does not hedge any of its silver production and has no plans to do so at current market prices. The Company does hedge a portion of its gold production to ensure minimum cash flows. These positions have not changed materially since year-end (see Table I). At June 30, 2000, Coeur`s gold price protection program was valued at $0.8 million, based on the quarter-end spot gold price of $288 per ounce.
Operating Highlights
Rochester Mine (Nevada)
Coeur`s Rochester mine produced 1.8 million ounces of silver and 18,900 ounces of gold during the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1.4 million ounces of silver and 16,500 ounces of gold in the previous year. Cash costs for the period declined to $3.78 per silver equivalent ounce from $4.02 in 1999 despite the mining of lower-grade ore as part of the planned mining sequence. Operations are benefiting from a number of improvements carried out in the first quarter of this year. The conveyor and crushing circuits have been upgraded to increase capacity and the solution flow on the leach pad was increased by approximately 15 percent. At Rochester, the first phase of a comprehensive in-pit and near-pit ore definition and exploration program consisting of 114 reverse circulation drill holes totaling more than 40,000 feet has been completed. Assays and analysis of data are underway. The second phase of the program will begin shortly and a separate program for the nearby Nevada Packard property will commence in late August or early September.
Coeur Silver Valley -- Galena Mine (Idaho)
The Company increased its ownership interest in Coeur Silver Valley to 100 percent from 50 percent effective as of September 8, 1999. As a result of this, together with higher mill throughput, silver production from the Galena mine attributable to Coeur increased to 906,600 ounces during the latest quarter compared to 411,500 ounces in the preceding year. Total cash costs for the second quarter were $4.79 per ounce compared to $5.07 per ounce for 1999. The improved results are expected to continue as underground development work provides greater access to higher-grade areas of the mine. The first hole of a planned 9,000-foot exploration drill program to test the West Argentine area of the Galena mine is well underway and results are currently being analyzed. This is the initial phase of a program designed to increase the capacity at Coeur Silver Valley to approximately five million ounces of silver annually.
Fachinal Mine (Chile)
Production at the Fachinal mine during this year`s second quarter was 295,700 ounces of silver and 4,000 ounces of gold compared to 314,600 ounces of silver and 6,900 ounces of gold in the prior year. Total cash costs for the quarter were $379 per equivalent ounce of gold compared to $266 per ounce in 1999. The production shortfall and increased costs were partially the result of lower gold grades but mostly due to severe winter conditions that affected much of Southern Chile. These conditions restricted access to the most productive areas of the mine, resulted in a shortfall in tons mined and at one point led to a temporary suspension of operations altogether. Despite the weather conditions, construction of the road connecting Fachinal to the high-grade Furioso deposit is continuing and initial production is expected to commence late in the fourth quarter of 2000, as scheduled. The recent exploration program to convert resources to reserves proceeded as planned and the mining plan is being revised to incorporate the latest results. Production is expected to improve as slot-cut mining of the recently defined higher grade Lucero vein commenced in July.
Petorca Mine (Chile)
At Petorca, gold production declined to 6,500 ounces compared to 7,800 ounces last year. Silver output was up marginally to 17,300 ounces from 15,500 ounces in 1999. Total cash costs per equivalent ounce of gold were $339 per ounce compared to $264 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999, although down considerably from the $384 per ounce recorded in the first quarter of 2000. Production is returning to normal after a severe accident restricted access to high-grade areas of the mine during the first quarter. The gold grade was still below projections but this was offset somewhat by higher tons mined and increased mill throughput. The exploration and engineering staff at Petorca has evaluated the recently discovered San Lorenzo gold-copper satellite deposit and surface mining is scheduled to start in the third quarter.
Yilgarn Star Mine (Australia)
Coeur`s 25 percent share of gold production from the Yilgarn Star mine was 6,500 ounces, down from 7,400 ounces in the second quarter of 1999. Total cash costs for the latest period declined sharply to $201 per ounce compared to $314 per ounce in the prior year despite lower production and a planned decrease in the gold grade. This was due in large measure to the extensive underground development program carried out in 1999 as well as to several other operating improvements initiated late last year. The Yilgarn Star area is one of the few locations where Coeur is carrying out any grassroots exploration. At present, a preliminary resource model is being calculated at the recently discovered Cheritons Find/Redwing prospect located 20 miles to the south of the minesite. Additional drilling is also planned for later in the year.
San Bartolome (Bolivia)
In 1999, Coeur acquired the San Bartolome silver prospect located near the historic silver producing area of the Cerro Rico mountain next to the town of Potosi in southern Bolivia. Silver mineralization at San Bartolome is contained in a series of gravel-like paleochannels referred to locally as "sucus" and "pallacos". Deposits of this nature are often difficult to evaluate and the Company designed and completed a very detailed drilling and bulk sampling program to confirm the initial resource estimate of 34.4 million tons at an average grade of 3.1 ounces of silver per ton or 106 million contained ounces. All of the data collected to date is being evaluated to develop a three-dimensional mineral model under the direction of a third party geological/geostatistical firm. Recent metallurgical work has indicated that the ores tested are amenable to conventional cyanide leaching after the silver minerals have been liberated from the host rock and that the finer the ore is crushed, the better the silver extraction. Alternative flowsheets are currently being developed that also include processing by conventional milling.
Health, Safety and the Environment
For an extended period of time, silver and gold prices have remained depressed, far below price levels that anyone would have believed possible a few short years ago. In response, Coeur has been optimizing production at all operations and cutting costs wherever possible. However, this has not affected Coeur`s dedication to the health and safety of its workforce or its commitment to environmental excellence. At Coeur, we are proud of our employees in Chile who have received six safety awards in 1999 and 2000 including the country`s most prestigious John T. Ryan award won by our Petorca mine in July. In addition, Coeur Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the "A" flight in the annual Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coeur also received a leadership award from the International Society of Mine Safety Professions in recognition of the 20 state, national and international awards that the Company has received for its leading role in environmental and safety stewardship.
Recent Corporate Developments
In June 2000, Governor Dirk Kempthorne of the State of Idaho announced that he had received a proposed settlement from the defendants in the natural resource damage litigation relating to the Coeur d`Alene Basin. The proposed settlement would see the companies involved contribute a total of $250 million, payable over a 30-year period. Of this total, $154 million would be fixed and the remaining $96 million would be paid from royalties based on the price of silver, copper, gold and zinc.
Coeur had previously indicated that its share of any settlement with the State of Idaho would be modest. The Company has advised the Governor and the other companies involved that its share of the proposed settlement would be the sum of $3.75 million, payable in installments over 25 years without interest and an additional $1.25 million to be paid in years 25 to 30 based on the royalty described above.

Coeur Reports 42 Percent Increase in Silver Production in the Second Quarter
COEUR D`ALENE, Idaho, Jul 28, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Coeur d`Alene Mines Corp. (NYSE: CDE chart, msgs) today reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.5 million, or $0.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2000 compared to a net loss of $9.6 million, or $0.44 per share, in the second quarter of 1999.
The second quarter was highlighted by significant improvements in production and cash costs of production compared to the first quarter of the year. Based on the second quarter results, Coeur fully expects to meet its production targets for the year 2000.
Second quarter results for the current year include a gain of $1.1 million on early retirement of $7.0 million of debt offset by a non-cash mark to market loss on the Company`s gold price protection program of $0.5 million and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 included the payment of dividends to preferred shareholders of $2.6 million. On March 15, 2000, Coeur`s preferred shares (Mandatory Adjustable Redeemable Securities or MARCS) were converted into approximately 7.9 million common shares of the Company, accordingly no dividend was paid in the second quarter of 2000.
In the first half of 2000, the Company had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $22.5 million, or $0.66 per share, compared to $19.5 million, or $0.89 per share for the corresponding six-month period of 1999.
Second Quarter Highlights
-- Produced 3.0 million ounces of silver, a 42% increase as
compared to the second quarter of 1999.
-- Produced 35,849 ounces of gold, an 11% improvement over the
first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary silver operations declined to $4.03 per
ounce, 3.5% lower than the second quarter of 1999 and a 13%
decline from the first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary gold operations were $316 per ounce
compared to $278 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999.
However, cash costs were $13 per ounce lower than the first
quarter of 2000.
-- Repurchased $7 million of the Company`s 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due in 2002.
-- Sold the Company`s 20 percent net income royalty on Pan
America Silver Corp.`s Quiruvilca silver mine in northern Peru
for total consideration of $0.7 million, comprised of 140,000
common shares of Pan American, 100,000 share purchase warrants
and $50,000.
-- Completed the first phase of a major drilling program at
Coeur`s Rochester mine to delineate additional reserves and
resources.
-- Commenced the first phase of the year 2000 exploration drill
and expansion program at Coeur Silver Valley.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "I am pleased with the progress that we have made in the second quarter and am confident that we can look forward to further improvements as the year progresses. The Company is back on track to achieve its production targets for 2000 of 11.5 million ounces of silver and 160,000 ounces of gold. I am also happy to report that we are accomplishing our goals while maintaining our commitment to the health and safety of our employees. Our Petorca mine in Chile has just received the John T. Ryan award, the top safety award in the country. Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the `A` flight in the Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s 14th Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition."
Consolidated Second Quarter Results
For the second quarter of 2000, Coeur`s production of silver and gold contained in concentrates and dore was 3.0 million ounces of silver and 35,849 ounces of gold compared to 2.1 million ounces of silver and 38,596 ounces of gold in the corresponding quarter of 1999. The increase in silver production resulted from higher output at both the Rochester mine and Coeur Silver Valley and also reflects the Company`s 100 percent ownership of Coeur Silver Valley as of September 1999. Gold production was slightly lower, as higher production from the Rochester mine was more than offset by declines at the Company`s Chilean gold operations and at the 25 percent owned Yilgarn Star mine.
Total cash costs, including third party smelter charges, for the second quarter were $4.03 per silver equivalent ounce and $316 per gold equivalent ounce compared to $4.18 per ounce and $278 per ounce for silver and gold respectively in 1999. The overall decrease in silver cash costs was attributable to higher throughput and lower unit costs at both Rochester and at Coeur Silver Valley. The increased cash costs for gold were the result of continued production shortfalls in Chile, particularly as a consequence of weather-related problems at the Company`s Fachinal mine. This was partially offset by lower cash costs at the Yilgarn Star mine.
Robert Martinez, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "Our operating performance was much improved in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter. Silver production increased 14% and gold production increased 11%. We still have some work to do in Chile, but Petorca is improving and production shortfalls at Fachinal were largely the result of severe winter storms that led us to suspend operations for approximately two weeks at the end of June. We are confident that the improvement this quarter will continue in the third quarter. I would like to congratulate Jeff Smith who was recently promoted to Vice President, North American Operations. Jeff was previously Vice President and General Manager at Coeur Rochester and his proven operating ability and management skills will now be available at the corporate level."
Revenues from the sale of concentrates and dore were $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $20.4 million for the second quarter of the previous year. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales volumes for both silver and gold mainly as the result of higher production. During the latest quarter, Coeur realized average silver and gold prices of $5.04 per ounce and $310 per ounce, respectively, compared to $5.14 per ounce for silver and $322 per ounce for gold in the second quarter of 1999.
The net loss attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter was $10.5 million compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 1999. The higher net loss was mainly the result of increased production costs and lower realized silver and gold prices. This was partially offset by lower interest and general and administrative expenses. Results for the latest quarter also include a gain from the early retirement of debt of $1.1 million offset by a non-cash mark to market loss of $0.5 million from the Company`s gold price protection program and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 include a preferred stock dividend of $2.6 million.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $81.6 million compared to $109.9 million as of December 31, 1999. During the same period, Coeur has reduced its long-term liabilities by $8.2 million.
Coeur does not hedge any of its silver production and has no plans to do so at current market prices. The Company does hedge a portion of its gold production to ensure minimum cash flows. These positions have not changed materially since year-end (see Table I). At June 30, 2000, Coeur`s gold price protection program was valued at $0.8 million, based on the quarter-end spot gold price of $288 per ounce.
Operating Highlights
Rochester Mine (Nevada)
Coeur`s Rochester mine produced 1.8 million ounces of silver and 18,900 ounces of gold during the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1.4 million ounces of silver and 16,500 ounces of gold in the previous year. Cash costs for the period declined to $3.78 per silver equivalent ounce from $4.02 in 1999 despite the mining of lower-grade ore as part of the planned mining sequence. Operations are benefiting from a number of improvements carried out in the first quarter of this year. The conveyor and crushing circuits have been upgraded to increase capacity and the solution flow on the leach pad was increased by approximately 15 percent. At Rochester, the first phase of a comprehensive in-pit and near-pit ore definition and exploration program consisting of 114 reverse circulation drill holes totaling more than 40,000 feet has been completed. Assays and analysis of data are underway. The second phase of the program will begin shortly and a separate program for the nearby Nevada Packard property will commence in late August or early September.
Coeur Silver Valley -- Galena Mine (Idaho)
The Company increased its ownership interest in Coeur Silver Valley to 100 percent from 50 percent effective as of September 8, 1999. As a result of this, together with higher mill throughput, silver production from the Galena mine attributable to Coeur increased to 906,600 ounces during the latest quarter compared to 411,500 ounces in the preceding year. Total cash costs for the second quarter were $4.79 per ounce compared to $5.07 per ounce for 1999. The improved results are expected to continue as underground development work provides greater access to higher-grade areas of the mine. The first hole of a planned 9,000-foot exploration drill program to test the West Argentine area of the Galena mine is well underway and results are currently being analyzed. This is the initial phase of a program designed to increase the capacity at Coeur Silver Valley to approximately five million ounces of silver annually.
Fachinal Mine (Chile)
Production at the Fachinal mine during this year`s second quarter was 295,700 ounces of silver and 4,000 ounces of gold compared to 314,600 ounces of silver and 6,900 ounces of gold in the prior year. Total cash costs for the quarter were $379 per equivalent ounce of gold compared to $266 per ounce in 1999. The production shortfall and increased costs were partially the result of lower gold grades but mostly due to severe winter conditions that affected much of Southern Chile. These conditions restricted access to the most productive areas of the mine, resulted in a shortfall in tons mined and at one point led to a temporary suspension of operations altogether. Despite the weather conditions, construction of the road connecting Fachinal to the high-grade Furioso deposit is continuing and initial production is expected to commence late in the fourth quarter of 2000, as scheduled. The recent exploration program to convert resources to reserves proceeded as planned and the mining plan is being revised to incorporate the latest results. Production is expected to improve as slot-cut mining of the recently defined higher grade Lucero vein commenced in July.
Petorca Mine (Chile)
At Petorca, gold production declined to 6,500 ounces compared to 7,800 ounces last year. Silver output was up marginally to 17,300 ounces from 15,500 ounces in 1999. Total cash costs per equivalent ounce of gold were $339 per ounce compared to $264 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999, although down considerably from the $384 per ounce recorded in the first quarter of 2000. Production is returning to normal after a severe accident restricted access to high-grade areas of the mine during the first quarter. The gold grade was still below projections but this was offset somewhat by higher tons mined and increased mill throughput. The exploration and engineering staff at Petorca has evaluated the recently discovered San Lorenzo gold-copper satellite deposit and surface mining is scheduled to start in the third quarter.
Yilgarn Star Mine (Australia)
Coeur`s 25 percent share of gold production from the Yilgarn Star mine was 6,500 ounces, down from 7,400 ounces in the second quarter of 1999. Total cash costs for the latest period declined sharply to $201 per ounce compared to $314 per ounce in the prior year despite lower production and a planned decrease in the gold grade. This was due in large measure to the extensive underground development program carried out in 1999 as well as to several other operating improvements initiated late last year. The Yilgarn Star area is one of the few locations where Coeur is carrying out any grassroots exploration. At present, a preliminary resource model is being calculated at the recently discovered Cheritons Find/Redwing prospect located 20 miles to the south of the minesite. Additional drilling is also planned for later in the year.
San Bartolome (Bolivia)
In 1999, Coeur acquired the San Bartolome silver prospect located near the historic silver producing area of the Cerro Rico mountain next to the town of Potosi in southern Bolivia. Silver mineralization at San Bartolome is contained in a series of gravel-like paleochannels referred to locally as "sucus" and "pallacos". Deposits of this nature are often difficult to evaluate and the Company designed and completed a very detailed drilling and bulk sampling program to confirm the initial resource estimate of 34.4 million tons at an average grade of 3.1 ounces of silver per ton or 106 million contained ounces. All of the data collected to date is being evaluated to develop a three-dimensional mineral model under the direction of a third party geological/geostatistical firm. Recent metallurgical work has indicated that the ores tested are amenable to conventional cyanide leaching after the silver minerals have been liberated from the host rock and that the finer the ore is crushed, the better the silver extraction. Alternative flowsheets are currently being developed that also include processing by conventional milling.
Health, Safety and the Environment
For an extended period of time, silver and gold prices have remained depressed, far below price levels that anyone would have believed possible a few short years ago. In response, Coeur has been optimizing production at all operations and cutting costs wherever possible. However, this has not affected Coeur`s dedication to the health and safety of its workforce or its commitment to environmental excellence. At Coeur, we are proud of our employees in Chile who have received six safety awards in 1999 and 2000 including the country`s most prestigious John T. Ryan award won by our Petorca mine in July. In addition, Coeur Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the "A" flight in the annual Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coeur also received a leadership award from the International Society of Mine Safety Professions in recognition of the 20 state, national and international awards that the Company has received for its leading role in environmental and safety stewardship.
Recent Corporate Developments
In June 2000, Governor Dirk Kempthorne of the State of Idaho announced that he had received a proposed settlement from the defendants in the natural resource damage litigation relating to the Coeur d`Alene Basin. The proposed settlement would see the companies involved contribute a total of $250 million, payable over a 30-year period. Of this total, $154 million would be fixed and the remaining $96 million would be paid from royalties based on the price of silver, copper, gold and zinc.
Coeur had previously indicated that its share of any settlement with the State of Idaho would be modest. The Company has advised the Governor and the other companies involved that its share of the proposed settlement would be the sum of $3.75 million, payable in installments over 25 years without interest and an additional $1.25 million to be paid in years 25 to 30 based on the royalty described above.

Coeur Reports 42 Percent Increase in Silver Production in the Second Quarter
COEUR D`ALENE, Idaho, Jul 28, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Coeur d`Alene Mines Corp. (NYSE: CDE chart, msgs) today reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.5 million, or $0.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2000 compared to a net loss of $9.6 million, or $0.44 per share, in the second quarter of 1999.
The second quarter was highlighted by significant improvements in production and cash costs of production compared to the first quarter of the year. Based on the second quarter results, Coeur fully expects to meet its production targets for the year 2000.
Second quarter results for the current year include a gain of $1.1 million on early retirement of $7.0 million of debt offset by a non-cash mark to market loss on the Company`s gold price protection program of $0.5 million and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 included the payment of dividends to preferred shareholders of $2.6 million. On March 15, 2000, Coeur`s preferred shares (Mandatory Adjustable Redeemable Securities or MARCS) were converted into approximately 7.9 million common shares of the Company, accordingly no dividend was paid in the second quarter of 2000.
In the first half of 2000, the Company had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $22.5 million, or $0.66 per share, compared to $19.5 million, or $0.89 per share for the corresponding six-month period of 1999.
Second Quarter Highlights
-- Produced 3.0 million ounces of silver, a 42% increase as
compared to the second quarter of 1999.
-- Produced 35,849 ounces of gold, an 11% improvement over the
first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary silver operations declined to $4.03 per
ounce, 3.5% lower than the second quarter of 1999 and a 13%
decline from the first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary gold operations were $316 per ounce
compared to $278 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999.
However, cash costs were $13 per ounce lower than the first
quarter of 2000.
-- Repurchased $7 million of the Company`s 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due in 2002.
-- Sold the Company`s 20 percent net income royalty on Pan
America Silver Corp.`s Quiruvilca silver mine in northern Peru
for total consideration of $0.7 million, comprised of 140,000
common shares of Pan American, 100,000 share purchase warrants
and $50,000.
-- Completed the first phase of a major drilling program at
Coeur`s Rochester mine to delineate additional reserves and
resources.
-- Commenced the first phase of the year 2000 exploration drill
and expansion program at Coeur Silver Valley.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "I am pleased with the progress that we have made in the second quarter and am confident that we can look forward to further improvements as the year progresses. The Company is back on track to achieve its production targets for 2000 of 11.5 million ounces of silver and 160,000 ounces of gold. I am also happy to report that we are accomplishing our goals while maintaining our commitment to the health and safety of our employees. Our Petorca mine in Chile has just received the John T. Ryan award, the top safety award in the country. Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the `A` flight in the Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s 14th Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition."
Consolidated Second Quarter Results
For the second quarter of 2000, Coeur`s production of silver and gold contained in concentrates and dore was 3.0 million ounces of silver and 35,849 ounces of gold compared to 2.1 million ounces of silver and 38,596 ounces of gold in the corresponding quarter of 1999. The increase in silver production resulted from higher output at both the Rochester mine and Coeur Silver Valley and also reflects the Company`s 100 percent ownership of Coeur Silver Valley as of September 1999. Gold production was slightly lower, as higher production from the Rochester mine was more than offset by declines at the Company`s Chilean gold operations and at the 25 percent owned Yilgarn Star mine.
Total cash costs, including third party smelter charges, for the second quarter were $4.03 per silver equivalent ounce and $316 per gold equivalent ounce compared to $4.18 per ounce and $278 per ounce for silver and gold respectively in 1999. The overall decrease in silver cash costs was attributable to higher throughput and lower unit costs at both Rochester and at Coeur Silver Valley. The increased cash costs for gold were the result of continued production shortfalls in Chile, particularly as a consequence of weather-related problems at the Company`s Fachinal mine. This was partially offset by lower cash costs at the Yilgarn Star mine.
Robert Martinez, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "Our operating performance was much improved in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter. Silver production increased 14% and gold production increased 11%. We still have some work to do in Chile, but Petorca is improving and production shortfalls at Fachinal were largely the result of severe winter storms that led us to suspend operations for approximately two weeks at the end of June. We are confident that the improvement this quarter will continue in the third quarter. I would like to congratulate Jeff Smith who was recently promoted to Vice President, North American Operations. Jeff was previously Vice President and General Manager at Coeur Rochester and his proven operating ability and management skills will now be available at the corporate level."
Revenues from the sale of concentrates and dore were $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $20.4 million for the second quarter of the previous year. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales volumes for both silver and gold mainly as the result of higher production. During the latest quarter, Coeur realized average silver and gold prices of $5.04 per ounce and $310 per ounce, respectively, compared to $5.14 per ounce for silver and $322 per ounce for gold in the second quarter of 1999.
The net loss attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter was $10.5 million compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 1999. The higher net loss was mainly the result of increased production costs and lower realized silver and gold prices. This was partially offset by lower interest and general and administrative expenses. Results for the latest quarter also include a gain from the early retirement of debt of $1.1 million offset by a non-cash mark to market loss of $0.5 million from the Company`s gold price protection program and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 include a preferred stock dividend of $2.6 million.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $81.6 million compared to $109.9 million as of December 31, 1999. During the same period, Coeur has reduced its long-term liabilities by $8.2 million.
Coeur does not hedge any of its silver production and has no plans to do so at current market prices. The Company does hedge a portion of its gold production to ensure minimum cash flows. These positions have not changed materially since year-end (see Table I). At June 30, 2000, Coeur`s gold price protection program was valued at $0.8 million, based on the quarter-end spot gold price of $288 per ounce.
Operating Highlights
Rochester Mine (Nevada)
Coeur`s Rochester mine produced 1.8 million ounces of silver and 18,900 ounces of gold during the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1.4 million ounces of silver and 16,500 ounces of gold in the previous year. Cash costs for the period declined to $3.78 per silver equivalent ounce from $4.02 in 1999 despite the mining of lower-grade ore as part of the planned mining sequence. Operations are benefiting from a number of improvements carried out in the first quarter of this year. The conveyor and crushing circuits have been upgraded to increase capacity and the solution flow on the leach pad was increased by approximately 15 percent. At Rochester, the first phase of a comprehensive in-pit and near-pit ore definition and exploration program consisting of 114 reverse circulation drill holes totaling more than 40,000 feet has been completed. Assays and analysis of data are underway. The second phase of the program will begin shortly and a separate program for the nearby Nevada Packard property will commence in late August or early September.
Coeur Silver Valley -- Galena Mine (Idaho)
The Company increased its ownership interest in Coeur Silver Valley to 100 percent from 50 percent effective as of September 8, 1999. As a result of this, together with higher mill throughput, silver production from the Galena mine attributable to Coeur increased to 906,600 ounces during the latest quarter compared to 411,500 ounces in the preceding year. Total cash costs for the second quarter were $4.79 per ounce compared to $5.07 per ounce for 1999. The improved results are expected to continue as underground development work provides greater access to higher-grade areas of the mine. The first hole of a planned 9,000-foot exploration drill program to test the West Argentine area of the Galena mine is well underway and results are currently being analyzed. This is the initial phase of a program designed to increase the capacity at Coeur Silver Valley to approximately five million ounces of silver annually.
Fachinal Mine (Chile)
Production at the Fachinal mine during this year`s second quarter was 295,700 ounces of silver and 4,000 ounces of gold compared to 314,600 ounces of silver and 6,900 ounces of gold in the prior year. Total cash costs for the quarter were $379 per equivalent ounce of gold compared to $266 per ounce in 1999. The production shortfall and increased costs were partially the result of lower gold grades but mostly due to severe winter conditions that affected much of Southern Chile. These conditions restricted access to the most productive areas of the mine, resulted in a shortfall in tons mined and at one point led to a temporary suspension of operations altogether. Despite the weather conditions, construction of the road connecting Fachinal to the high-grade Furioso deposit is continuing and initial production is expected to commence late in the fourth quarter of 2000, as scheduled. The recent exploration program to convert resources to reserves proceeded as planned and the mining plan is being revised to incorporate the latest results. Production is expected to improve as slot-cut mining of the recently defined higher grade Lucero vein commenced in July.
Petorca Mine (Chile)
At Petorca, gold production declined to 6,500 ounces compared to 7,800 ounces last year. Silver output was up marginally to 17,300 ounces from 15,500 ounces in 1999. Total cash costs per equivalent ounce of gold were $339 per ounce compared to $264 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999, although down considerably from the $384 per ounce recorded in the first quarter of 2000. Production is returning to normal after a severe accident restricted access to high-grade areas of the mine during the first quarter. The gold grade was still below projections but this was offset somewhat by higher tons mined and increased mill throughput. The exploration and engineering staff at Petorca has evaluated the recently discovered San Lorenzo gold-copper satellite deposit and surface mining is scheduled to start in the third quarter.
Yilgarn Star Mine (Australia)
Coeur`s 25 percent share of gold production from the Yilgarn Star mine was 6,500 ounces, down from 7,400 ounces in the second quarter of 1999. Total cash costs for the latest period declined sharply to $201 per ounce compared to $314 per ounce in the prior year despite lower production and a planned decrease in the gold grade. This was due in large measure to the extensive underground development program carried out in 1999 as well as to several other operating improvements initiated late last year. The Yilgarn Star area is one of the few locations where Coeur is carrying out any grassroots exploration. At present, a preliminary resource model is being calculated at the recently discovered Cheritons Find/Redwing prospect located 20 miles to the south of the minesite. Additional drilling is also planned for later in the year.
San Bartolome (Bolivia)
In 1999, Coeur acquired the San Bartolome silver prospect located near the historic silver producing area of the Cerro Rico mountain next to the town of Potosi in southern Bolivia. Silver mineralization at San Bartolome is contained in a series of gravel-like paleochannels referred to locally as "sucus" and "pallacos". Deposits of this nature are often difficult to evaluate and the Company designed and completed a very detailed drilling and bulk sampling program to confirm the initial resource estimate of 34.4 million tons at an average grade of 3.1 ounces of silver per ton or 106 million contained ounces. All of the data collected to date is being evaluated to develop a three-dimensional mineral model under the direction of a third party geological/geostatistical firm. Recent metallurgical work has indicated that the ores tested are amenable to conventional cyanide leaching after the silver minerals have been liberated from the host rock and that the finer the ore is crushed, the better the silver extraction. Alternative flowsheets are currently being developed that also include processing by conventional milling.
Health, Safety and the Environment
For an extended period of time, silver and gold prices have remained depressed, far below price levels that anyone would have believed possible a few short years ago. In response, Coeur has been optimizing production at all operations and cutting costs wherever possible. However, this has not affected Coeur`s dedication to the health and safety of its workforce or its commitment to environmental excellence. At Coeur, we are proud of our employees in Chile who have received six safety awards in 1999 and 2000 including the country`s most prestigious John T. Ryan award won by our Petorca mine in July. In addition, Coeur Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the "A" flight in the annual Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coeur also received a leadership award from the International Society of Mine Safety Professions in recognition of the 20 state, national and international awards that the Company has received for its leading role in environmental and safety stewardship.
Recent Corporate Developments
In June 2000, Governor Dirk Kempthorne of the State of Idaho announced that he had received a proposed settlement from the defendants in the natural resource damage litigation relating to the Coeur d`Alene Basin. The proposed settlement would see the companies involved contribute a total of $250 million, payable over a 30-year period. Of this total, $154 million would be fixed and the remaining $96 million would be paid from royalties based on the price of silver, copper, gold and zinc.
Coeur had previously indicated that its share of any settlement with the State of Idaho would be modest. The Company has advised the Governor and the other companies involved that its share of the proposed settlement would be the sum of $3.75 million, payable in installments over 25 years without interest and an additional $1.25 million to be paid in years 25 to 30 based on the royalty described above.

Coeur Reports 42 Percent Increase in Silver Production in the Second Quarter
COEUR D`ALENE, Idaho, Jul 28, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Coeur d`Alene Mines Corp. (NYSE: CDE chart, msgs) today reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.5 million, or $0.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2000 compared to a net loss of $9.6 million, or $0.44 per share, in the second quarter of 1999.
The second quarter was highlighted by significant improvements in production and cash costs of production compared to the first quarter of the year. Based on the second quarter results, Coeur fully expects to meet its production targets for the year 2000.
Second quarter results for the current year include a gain of $1.1 million on early retirement of $7.0 million of debt offset by a non-cash mark to market loss on the Company`s gold price protection program of $0.5 million and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 included the payment of dividends to preferred shareholders of $2.6 million. On March 15, 2000, Coeur`s preferred shares (Mandatory Adjustable Redeemable Securities or MARCS) were converted into approximately 7.9 million common shares of the Company, accordingly no dividend was paid in the second quarter of 2000.
In the first half of 2000, the Company had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $22.5 million, or $0.66 per share, compared to $19.5 million, or $0.89 per share for the corresponding six-month period of 1999.
Second Quarter Highlights
-- Produced 3.0 million ounces of silver, a 42% increase as
compared to the second quarter of 1999.
-- Produced 35,849 ounces of gold, an 11% improvement over the
first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary silver operations declined to $4.03 per
ounce, 3.5% lower than the second quarter of 1999 and a 13%
decline from the first quarter of 2000.
-- Cash costs at primary gold operations were $316 per ounce
compared to $278 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999.
However, cash costs were $13 per ounce lower than the first
quarter of 2000.
-- Repurchased $7 million of the Company`s 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due in 2002.
-- Sold the Company`s 20 percent net income royalty on Pan
America Silver Corp.`s Quiruvilca silver mine in northern Peru
for total consideration of $0.7 million, comprised of 140,000
common shares of Pan American, 100,000 share purchase warrants
and $50,000.
-- Completed the first phase of a major drilling program at
Coeur`s Rochester mine to delineate additional reserves and
resources.
-- Commenced the first phase of the year 2000 exploration drill
and expansion program at Coeur Silver Valley.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "I am pleased with the progress that we have made in the second quarter and am confident that we can look forward to further improvements as the year progresses. The Company is back on track to achieve its production targets for 2000 of 11.5 million ounces of silver and 160,000 ounces of gold. I am also happy to report that we are accomplishing our goals while maintaining our commitment to the health and safety of our employees. Our Petorca mine in Chile has just received the John T. Ryan award, the top safety award in the country. Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the `A` flight in the Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s 14th Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition."
Consolidated Second Quarter Results
For the second quarter of 2000, Coeur`s production of silver and gold contained in concentrates and dore was 3.0 million ounces of silver and 35,849 ounces of gold compared to 2.1 million ounces of silver and 38,596 ounces of gold in the corresponding quarter of 1999. The increase in silver production resulted from higher output at both the Rochester mine and Coeur Silver Valley and also reflects the Company`s 100 percent ownership of Coeur Silver Valley as of September 1999. Gold production was slightly lower, as higher production from the Rochester mine was more than offset by declines at the Company`s Chilean gold operations and at the 25 percent owned Yilgarn Star mine.
Total cash costs, including third party smelter charges, for the second quarter were $4.03 per silver equivalent ounce and $316 per gold equivalent ounce compared to $4.18 per ounce and $278 per ounce for silver and gold respectively in 1999. The overall decrease in silver cash costs was attributable to higher throughput and lower unit costs at both Rochester and at Coeur Silver Valley. The increased cash costs for gold were the result of continued production shortfalls in Chile, particularly as a consequence of weather-related problems at the Company`s Fachinal mine. This was partially offset by lower cash costs at the Yilgarn Star mine.
Robert Martinez, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "Our operating performance was much improved in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter. Silver production increased 14% and gold production increased 11%. We still have some work to do in Chile, but Petorca is improving and production shortfalls at Fachinal were largely the result of severe winter storms that led us to suspend operations for approximately two weeks at the end of June. We are confident that the improvement this quarter will continue in the third quarter. I would like to congratulate Jeff Smith who was recently promoted to Vice President, North American Operations. Jeff was previously Vice President and General Manager at Coeur Rochester and his proven operating ability and management skills will now be available at the corporate level."
Revenues from the sale of concentrates and dore were $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $20.4 million for the second quarter of the previous year. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales volumes for both silver and gold mainly as the result of higher production. During the latest quarter, Coeur realized average silver and gold prices of $5.04 per ounce and $310 per ounce, respectively, compared to $5.14 per ounce for silver and $322 per ounce for gold in the second quarter of 1999.
The net loss attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter was $10.5 million compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 1999. The higher net loss was mainly the result of increased production costs and lower realized silver and gold prices. This was partially offset by lower interest and general and administrative expenses. Results for the latest quarter also include a gain from the early retirement of debt of $1.1 million offset by a non-cash mark to market loss of $0.5 million from the Company`s gold price protection program and a one time charge of $0.9 million related to the proposed settlement of a contractor dispute. Results for the second quarter of 1999 include a preferred stock dividend of $2.6 million.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $81.6 million compared to $109.9 million as of December 31, 1999. During the same period, Coeur has reduced its long-term liabilities by $8.2 million.
Coeur does not hedge any of its silver production and has no plans to do so at current market prices. The Company does hedge a portion of its gold production to ensure minimum cash flows. These positions have not changed materially since year-end (see Table I). At June 30, 2000, Coeur`s gold price protection program was valued at $0.8 million, based on the quarter-end spot gold price of $288 per ounce.
Operating Highlights
Rochester Mine (Nevada)
Coeur`s Rochester mine produced 1.8 million ounces of silver and 18,900 ounces of gold during the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1.4 million ounces of silver and 16,500 ounces of gold in the previous year. Cash costs for the period declined to $3.78 per silver equivalent ounce from $4.02 in 1999 despite the mining of lower-grade ore as part of the planned mining sequence. Operations are benefiting from a number of improvements carried out in the first quarter of this year. The conveyor and crushing circuits have been upgraded to increase capacity and the solution flow on the leach pad was increased by approximately 15 percent. At Rochester, the first phase of a comprehensive in-pit and near-pit ore definition and exploration program consisting of 114 reverse circulation drill holes totaling more than 40,000 feet has been completed. Assays and analysis of data are underway. The second phase of the program will begin shortly and a separate program for the nearby Nevada Packard property will commence in late August or early September.
Coeur Silver Valley -- Galena Mine (Idaho)
The Company increased its ownership interest in Coeur Silver Valley to 100 percent from 50 percent effective as of September 8, 1999. As a result of this, together with higher mill throughput, silver production from the Galena mine attributable to Coeur increased to 906,600 ounces during the latest quarter compared to 411,500 ounces in the preceding year. Total cash costs for the second quarter were $4.79 per ounce compared to $5.07 per ounce for 1999. The improved results are expected to continue as underground development work provides greater access to higher-grade areas of the mine. The first hole of a planned 9,000-foot exploration drill program to test the West Argentine area of the Galena mine is well underway and results are currently being analyzed. This is the initial phase of a program designed to increase the capacity at Coeur Silver Valley to approximately five million ounces of silver annually.
Fachinal Mine (Chile)
Production at the Fachinal mine during this year`s second quarter was 295,700 ounces of silver and 4,000 ounces of gold compared to 314,600 ounces of silver and 6,900 ounces of gold in the prior year. Total cash costs for the quarter were $379 per equivalent ounce of gold compared to $266 per ounce in 1999. The production shortfall and increased costs were partially the result of lower gold grades but mostly due to severe winter conditions that affected much of Southern Chile. These conditions restricted access to the most productive areas of the mine, resulted in a shortfall in tons mined and at one point led to a temporary suspension of operations altogether. Despite the weather conditions, construction of the road connecting Fachinal to the high-grade Furioso deposit is continuing and initial production is expected to commence late in the fourth quarter of 2000, as scheduled. The recent exploration program to convert resources to reserves proceeded as planned and the mining plan is being revised to incorporate the latest results. Production is expected to improve as slot-cut mining of the recently defined higher grade Lucero vein commenced in July.
Petorca Mine (Chile)
At Petorca, gold production declined to 6,500 ounces compared to 7,800 ounces last year. Silver output was up marginally to 17,300 ounces from 15,500 ounces in 1999. Total cash costs per equivalent ounce of gold were $339 per ounce compared to $264 per ounce in the second quarter of 1999, although down considerably from the $384 per ounce recorded in the first quarter of 2000. Production is returning to normal after a severe accident restricted access to high-grade areas of the mine during the first quarter. The gold grade was still below projections but this was offset somewhat by higher tons mined and increased mill throughput. The exploration and engineering staff at Petorca has evaluated the recently discovered San Lorenzo gold-copper satellite deposit and surface mining is scheduled to start in the third quarter.
Yilgarn Star Mine (Australia)
Coeur`s 25 percent share of gold production from the Yilgarn Star mine was 6,500 ounces, down from 7,400 ounces in the second quarter of 1999. Total cash costs for the latest period declined sharply to $201 per ounce compared to $314 per ounce in the prior year despite lower production and a planned decrease in the gold grade. This was due in large measure to the extensive underground development program carried out in 1999 as well as to several other operating improvements initiated late last year. The Yilgarn Star area is one of the few locations where Coeur is carrying out any grassroots exploration. At present, a preliminary resource model is being calculated at the recently discovered Cheritons Find/Redwing prospect located 20 miles to the south of the minesite. Additional drilling is also planned for later in the year.
San Bartolome (Bolivia)
In 1999, Coeur acquired the San Bartolome silver prospect located near the historic silver producing area of the Cerro Rico mountain next to the town of Potosi in southern Bolivia. Silver mineralization at San Bartolome is contained in a series of gravel-like paleochannels referred to locally as "sucus" and "pallacos". Deposits of this nature are often difficult to evaluate and the Company designed and completed a very detailed drilling and bulk sampling program to confirm the initial resource estimate of 34.4 million tons at an average grade of 3.1 ounces of silver per ton or 106 million contained ounces. All of the data collected to date is being evaluated to develop a three-dimensional mineral model under the direction of a third party geological/geostatistical firm. Recent metallurgical work has indicated that the ores tested are amenable to conventional cyanide leaching after the silver minerals have been liberated from the host rock and that the finer the ore is crushed, the better the silver extraction. Alternative flowsheets are currently being developed that also include processing by conventional milling.
Health, Safety and the Environment
For an extended period of time, silver and gold prices have remained depressed, far below price levels that anyone would have believed possible a few short years ago. In response, Coeur has been optimizing production at all operations and cutting costs wherever possible. However, this has not affected Coeur`s dedication to the health and safety of its workforce or its commitment to environmental excellence. At Coeur, we are proud of our employees in Chile who have received six safety awards in 1999 and 2000 including the country`s most prestigious John T. Ryan award won by our Petorca mine in July. In addition, Coeur Rochester`s Mine Emergency Response Team placed second in the "A" flight in the annual Nevada Mine Rescue Association`s Annual Safety Olympiad and Coeur Silver Valley won the regional Central Mine Rescue Association competition.
Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coeur also received a leadership award from the International Society of Mine Safety Professions in recognition of the 20 state, national and international awards that the Company has received for its leading role in environmental and safety stewardship.
Recent Corporate Developments
In June 2000, Governor Dirk Kempthorne of the State of Idaho announced that he had received a proposed settlement from the defendants in the natural resource damage litigation relating to the Coeur d`Alene Basin. The proposed settlement would see the companies involved contribute a total of $250 million, payable over a 30-year period. Of this total, $154 million would be fixed and the remaining $96 million would be paid from royalties based on the price of silver, copper, gold and zinc.
Coeur had previously indicated that its share of any settlement with the State of Idaho would be modest. The Company has advised the Governor and the other companies involved that its share of the proposed settlement would be the sum of $3.75 million, payable in installments over 25 years without interest and an additional $1.25 million to be paid in years 25 to 30 based on the royalty described above.

The United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. Operating, exploration and financial data, and other statements in this document are based on information the company believes reasonable, but involve significant uncertainties as to future gold and silver prices, costs, ore grades, estimation of gold and silver reserves, mining and processing conditions, changes that could result from the Company`s future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions), regulatory and permitting matters, and risks inherent in the ownership and operation of, or investment in, mining properties or businesses in foreign countries.

Sorry, 2x, das System hat mir einen Streich gespielt.
Ich habe den Bericht zwar nur kurz überflogen, aber trotz der deutlich höheren Förderung ein deutlicher Verlust. Nicht so toll.
Bei 11.5 Mio. oz geplanter Förderung fürs Geschäftsjahr und 10 Mio. $ Verlust pro Quartal müßte der Silberpreis grob gerechnet ca. 3.5$/oz höher stehen für ein break-even, also bei 8.5$/oz (bei gleichbleibendem Goldpreis).

@Howlingwolf : Vielen Dank für die Hilfe, beim zweiten Thread hat mein PC funktioniert,
habe auch bei www.coeur.com reingeschaut.
@Goldbauer : Danke für die Kopierarbeit. Wie funktioniert das eigentlich, wenn man eine bestimmte
Internetseite ins Board beamen möchte ?
Schätze mal, CDE muß sich was einfallen lassen, um nicht unter die Räder zu kommen wie Sunshine Mining.
Untätig wird CDE nicht bleiben !!
Hecla Mining gehts da ein wenig besser. Die werden mit dem Verkauf der KTCC ihre Schulden ablösen usw.
CDE und Hecla sitzen beide in Idaho, Coeur d`Alene. Langfristig gesehen spricht also alles dafür, daß sich CDE
und Hecla zusammentun, um dann Sunshine Mining mit ins Boot zu nehmen.
Ich nenn die Gesellschaft mal United Silver Company , USC. Die USC hätte die Chance, denjenigen offenbar
einflußreichen Kreisen, die den Silberpreis nach unten manipulieren, Paroli zu bieten. Diese Kreise wollen sich
wohl billig die Welt-Silberressourcen, vorzugweise die von Sunshine Mining, Coeur d`Alene und Hecla Mining
unter den Nagel reissen, um dann abzukassieren!!!
Bei steigendem Silberpreis sind nämlich alle drei von USC für eine Verzehnfachung der Aktienkurse gut.
Übers Wochenende werde ich die letzten beiden Quartalsberichte unter die Lupe nehmen...

Ich habe die Kopierfunktion benützt: a)Text mit Maus markieren, b)Bearbeiten/Kopieren klicken bzw. Strg+c, c)im Antwortfenster Strg+v, fertig, es ist nur schade, daß die Tabellen meist zusammengeschoben und unübersichtlich werden.
Was Silberproduzenten angeht, könnte es mit einem Silberpreisanstieg für SSC, CDE und HL zu lange dauern, bis dahin sind sie möglicherweise schon pleite. Sicherer ist es jedenfalls, auf einen Nebenprodukt-Silber-Erzeuger zu setzen. Der Hebeleffekt auf den Silberpreis wird allerdings nicht sehr hoch sein. Man sollte MIM, PAAS, Apex, KGHM (Polen) und Buenaventura (Peru) genauer untersuchen.
Ich frage mich, wer wohl das Pirquita-Projekt von Sunshine kaufen wird. Ich tippe mal auf MIM, das würde gut passen.
Weiß hier jemand, was aus Callahan Mining wurde? Das war vor 10 Jahren einer der bekannteren US-Silberwerte.

Hallo zusammen,
versteift Euch nicht auf die Silberminen, es gibt keine gesunde Silbermine!
Ein sehr gutes Chance/Risiko Verhältnis bieten DROOY (Durban Deep) und HGMCY (Harmony Gold).
Siehe hierzu den Link:

@just_do_it_de: Freut mich, daß Du meinem Rat, DROOY zu kaufen gefolgt bist
(Goldoption ohne Verfalltermin).

Hallo aneises2
Danke für den Opitonschein-Tip
einen Optionschein ohne Verfallstermin habe ich schon
lange gesucht und mit Deiner Hilfe bei Drooy gefunden.
Warum gibt es Deiner Meinung nach keine
gesunde Silbermine.
Hast Du dafür vielleicht auch einen interessanten

Achtung: Charttechnisch gesehen sieht der Wert jetzt blendend aus !
Die letzten Zittrigen sind wohl schon draußen - es dürfte nur noch wenige Kurse / Wochen unter 1 geben - bei den geringen Umsätzen in dtschld. gibt`s nicht mehr viele Chancen hierzulande Coeur unter 1 € zu erstehen.
Gestern schon kräftige Umsätze nahe 1 - und die üblichen Tax-Kurs-Angaben um die 0,85
könnte sehr Explosiv werden falls Silber stark bleibt !
