Krebs, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "The 2025 commencement of drilling in the underexplored areas located on the large land position we have now consolidated immediately to the east of Palmarejo represents a major step in Palmarejo’s expansion efforts. With a 300 km 2 total land package that is just 3% drilled, we are only scratching the surface of the next phase of Palmarejo’s potential growth and development. Brownfields exploration will remain a critical component of our capital allocation strategy going forward given the high returns these investments can generate at existing operations such as Palmarejo."

Please see the "Cautionary Statements" section for additional information regarding drill results. NEAR-MINE EXPLORATION – PALMAREJO MAIN DISTRICT The 2025 near-mine exploration program focused on step-out drilling around near-mine veins to support inferred resource ounce additions and support long-term mine life extensions, to build on the success of the 2024 program. Hidalgo Corridor Since its discovery in 2019, Hidalgo has become Palmarejo’s second largest reserve after the Guadalupe deposit, which has been mined since 2014. The 2025 drilling campaign has continued to demonstrate significant growth potential along the Hidalgo, Libertad, and San Juan vein trends which represent northwest extensions of the Independencia system that lie closer to the Palmarejo mill and processing facility. Step-out drilling northwest along the Hidalgo and Libertad trends successfully extended mineralized zones by approximately 500 meters and 300 meters, respectively. Multiple high-grade vein structures and splays have been intersected, which are expected to contribute to inferred resource growth. In addition, drilling along the San Juan trend extended mineralization along an approximately 150-meter strike, where the newly defined veins and splays exhibit grades and widths comparable to those found in the Independencia and Guadalupe systems. Collectively, the Hidalgo Corridor has now been drilled over a total length of 1.55 miles (2.5 kilometers) and remains open along strike and down dip. Initiated in 2023, the ongoing expansion drilling program along the Hidalgo Corridor continues to deliver encouraging results and is expected to justify additional underground development to support further drilling, resource expansion, and reserve additions. Independencia Sur The Independencia Sur vein represents the southeastern extension of the Independencia Norte vein, which is the primary source of production at Palmarejo. The target lies adjacent to underground infrastructure – a key advantage for future mine development – along the southeastern continuation of the Guadalupe – La Nación system. Following its acquisition from Fresnillo in 2024, Coeur has undertaken detailed mapping, relogging of historic drill core, and conducted validation drilling to confirm previous results. The 2025 drill program consists of 26 kilometers of diamond drilling and is designed to establish a compliant mineral resource estimate. Drilling from both surface and underground platforms has been conducted along a 2.5-kilometer strike length, confirming and refining the known vein geometry. The program successfully intersected five new veins drilled over strike lengths ranging from 300 meters to 800 meters, three of which represent parallel splays in the hanging-wall of the Independencia Sur system. Broad zones of breccia and quartz-calcite veins hosted in rhyolite porphyry returned the highest grades along contact zones with basalts. Highlights include intercepts of up to 19.7 feet grading 0.11 oz/t gold and 10.79 oz/t silver (6.0 meters at 3.6 g/t gold and 370 g/t silver); Hole VIDH-181. Drilling from the La Nación underground workings targeting an undrilled 150-meter gap between the Independencia Sur and Independencia Norte veins successfully connected the two structures as shown in Figure 2, which will be infill drilled in early 2026 to support near-term reserve additions. EAST PALMAREJO EXPLORATION Coeur’s 2025 exploration program marked the commencement of drilling in East Palmarejo, a large, underexplored area located outside the Franco-Nevada gold stream area of interest and centered around the historic mining town of Guazapares. Most of the known deposits and occurrences of gold and silver are located along two bifurcating northwest-trending fault zones called the San Miguel – San Isidro and the San Antonio – La Unión trends some ten and eight kilometers in length respectively, as seen in Figure 3. These trends are sparsely drilled and continued exploration is expected to produce additional discoveries. Prospectivity within the unexplored Camuchín – Escondida Zone, a 4-kilometer-wide area between the Palmarejo main trend and the San Miguel – San Isidro trend, was underscored by the discovery of the Camuchín trend where 2025 drilling confirmed mineralization over 900 meters, further supporting the Zone’s potential. San Miguel During 2025, Coeur commenced drilling at San Miguel for the first time, with initial results confirming potential for high-grade gold and silver. Mineralization is hosted within a series of steep southwest-dipping hydrothermal breccias and epithermal veins developed along the contact between rhyolitic tuffs and basalts. Approximately 400 meters of its defined strike length is characterized by historic colonial-era surface workings. The program was designed to validate historical drilling undertaken by Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. from 2007 to 2011 and confirm the continuity and grade of mineralization. Coeur completed 17 diamond drill holes totaling 6,075 meters, which extended the deposit by 90 meters along strike and 100 meters down dip (current length and dip of the deposit are now 1.3 kilometers and 360 meters, respectively). The near-surface mineralization remains open along strike to the northwest, southeast and at depth, indicating strong potential for resource growth. The San Miguel trend has been mapped on surface for four kilometers and forms part of a broader mineralized corridor extending southeast through San Isidro to Sota de Oro where it merges with the north-northwest-trending corridor that hosts the La Unión and San Antonio deposits, as shown in Figure 3. The Company plans to continue drilling scout and step-out holes along both trends in 2026 to test for extensions of the system. La Unión Gold and silver mineralization at La Unión is hosted within steeply dipping zones of stockwork veining and hydrothermal breccias in rhyolitic tuffs and andesites. The deposit is within a broad north-northwest-trending structural corridor extending for more than eight kilometers, linking the San Antonio prospect to the north and the La Carmela vein system to the south. Coeur completed 16 diamond drill holes totaling 6,064 meters testing a strike length of approximately 1,050 meters. The program was designed to validate historical drilling and refine structural interpretations. Assays from two holes have been received to date, including 72.9 feet at 0.19 oz/t gold and 0.74 oz/t silver (22.2 meters at 6.7 g/t gold and 26 g/t silver) in LUDH-088, as shown in Figure 3, supporting the broad widths of the near-surface mineralization observed in historical drilling. This drilling also extended the deposit down dip by 170 meters to 290 meters. Assays from remaining holes are pending. Mapping and previous drilling at La Unión outlined a 1.8-kilometer structure which remains open along strike and at depth. Follow-up drilling is planned to expand mineralization both northward toward San Antonio and southward towards Carmela. Camuchín The Camuchín discovery represents a major new mineralized trend located between the Palmarejo mine and San Miguel – approximately six kilometers northeast of Palmarejo and 2.8 kilometers southwest of San Miguel. Mapping and geochemical sampling in 2024 led to the identification of the northwest-trending Camuchín – Escondida fault-vein system, marking the first known mineralization within the previously untested 4-kilometer-wide gap between the Guazapares and Palmarejo mining trends, now known as the Camuchín – Escondida trend. To date, Coeur has completed 21 diamond drill holes, with mineralization intersected in 14 holes drilled over a strike length exceeding 900 meters. Mineralization remains open to the southeast, where surface mapping suggests several kilometers of potential strike extension. The discovery of Camuchín, together with the high-grade results from San Miguel and La Unión, demonstrate that Coeur’s ongoing district-scale exploration program is successfully unlocking the untapped potential of East Palmarejo, establishing a strong foundation for future resource growth and mine life expansion across the Palmarejo complex. A target generation program is currently underway utilizing recent regional geophysical surveys, geology and geochemistry. "Coeur’s multi-pronged exploration strategy at Palmarejo is delivering strong results," said Aoife McGrath, Senior Vice President, Exploration. "From near-mine to regional-scale programs, we’re enhancing mine-life visibility and future operational and financial flexibility. We see significant upside and expect continued strong returns on our exploration investment."
