Abstract:
Coeur Mining, Inc. is a well-diversified, growing precious metals producer with five mines in North America. Coeur produces from its wholly-owned operations: the Palmarejo silver-gold complex in Mexico, the Silvertip silver-zinc-lead mine in British Columbia, the Rochester silver-gold mine in Nevada, the Wharf gold mine in South Dakota, and the Kensington gold mine in Alaska. In addition, the Company has interests in several precious metals exploration projects throughout North America.
The Silvertip mine is one of the industry’s newest and highest-grade silver-zinc-lead mines. Located in British Columbia, just below the Yukon border, the operation sits within a highly prospective 93,000-acre (37,650 hectares) land package. Silvertip was acquired by Coeur Mining in October 2017 and has been undergoing site improvements to help bring the operation up to Coeur’s standards.
In this presentation, Terry Smith will outline Coeur’s efforts in bringing the Silvertip operation online, as well as discuss, some unique aspects of the operation’s history including some lessons learned since acquisition. Mr. Smith will also provide insight on the future of the operation.
