Coeur Mining's Seven-Asset Portfolio Is Generating Record Cash; The Market Hasn't Caught Up

Coeur Mining's portfolio, now comprising seven assets, is generating record cash flows, a fact that the market has yet to fully recognize. The company's recent strategic moves, including the acquisition of New Gold, have significantly enhanced its financial position and operational scale.

And before either acquisition, Coeur finished a multi-year expansion of its Rochester mine in Nevada, commissioning a new three-stage crushing circuit in March 2024.

The result is a company producing from seven wholly-owned mines across three countries — the United States, Canada, and Mexico — with 2026 consolidated guidance of 680,000 to 815,000 ounces of gold, 18.7 to 21.9 million ounces of silver, and 50 to 65 million pounds of copper. At the...
