Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Coeur Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Coeur” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements may not be indicative of the results which will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2022 balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”).
Reclassifications
Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies
Please see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2022 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to metal prices and mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of production amortization calculations, environmental, reclamation and closure obligations, estimates of recoverable silver and gold in leach pad inventories, estimates of fair value for certain reporting units and asset impairments, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and the fair value and accounting treatment of financial instruments, equity securities, asset acquisitions, the allocation of fair value to assets and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations, and derivative instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results will differ from the amounts estimated in these financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” , which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. In January 2021, ASU No. 2021-01 was issued which broadened the scope of ASU No. 2020-04 to include certain derivative instruments. In December 2022, ASU No. 2022-06 was issued which deferred the sunset date of ASU No. 2020-04. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is in the process of reviewing key contracts to identify any contracts that reference the LIBOR and to implement adequate fallback provisions if not already implemented to mitigate the risks or impacts from the transition. No material impacts are expected to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method ” which is intended to make amendments to the fair value hedge accounting previously issued in ASU 2017-12 “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ”. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The standard introduced the portfolio layer method allowing multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio when applying fair value hedge accounting. The Company adopted the new derivatives and hedging standards effective January 1, 2023, which did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING

2029 Senior Notes
In March 2021, the Company completed an offering of $ 375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2029 in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for net proceeds of approximately $ 367.5 million (the “2029 Senior Notes”). For more details, please see Note 10 -- Debt contained in the 2022 10-K.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company exchanged $19.3 million and $ 67.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Senior Notes plus accrued interest for 7.6 million and 21.6 million shares of common stock, respectively. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the exchanges, the exchanges resulted in an aggregate gain of $ 3.7 million on debt extinguishment. The exchange transactions represent non-cash financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.
Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2023, the Company had $ 140.0 million drawn at a weighted-average interest rate of 9.2 %, $ 29.6 million in outstanding letters of credit and $ 220.4 million available under its $ 390 million revolving credit facility (the “RCF”). Future borrowing may be subject to certain financial covenants. For more details, please see Note 10 -- Debt contained in the 2022 10-K.
On August 9, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the “August Amendment”) to the RCF. The August Amendment, among other things, (1) modifies the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility during the final stages of the Rochester expansion under (a) the consolidated net leverage and consolidated senior secured leverage ratios at September 30, 2023 through the March 31, 2024, with the ratios returning to the previous levels at June 30, 2024 and (b) the consolidated interest coverage ratio at June 30, 2023 through September 30, 2023 with the ratio returning to the previous level at December 31, 2023, (2) allows up to $ 50 million, through June 30, 2024, stepping down to $ 40 million in September 31, 2024, $ 30 million in December 31, 2024 and $ 15 million thereafter, for integration costs or costs associated with establishing new facilities and certain costs associated with LCM adjustments at Rochester to be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the RCF, (3) increases the interest rate on certain borrowings through June 30, 2024, and (4) restricts certain acquisitions through March 31, 2024.
Finance Lease Obligations
From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements for mining equipment at Rochester and Kensington for $ 21.6 million. The new finance lease arrangements represent non-cash investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. Additionally, Coeur secured a finance lease package for nearly $ 60.0 million in 2021, all of which has been funded as of September 30, 2023. This package was earmarked for planned equipment for the Rochester expansion project in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and has an interest rate of 5.2 %. All finance lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments. For more details, please see Note 9 -- Leases contained in the 2022 10-K.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company reported estimated income and mining tax expense of approximately $ 6.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of ( 40.6 )%. This compares to income tax expense of $ 1.9 million for an effective tax rate of ( 3.4 )% during the third quarter of 2022. The comparability of the Company’s income and mining tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rate for the reported periods was impacted by multiple factors, primarily: (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) mining taxes; (iv) foreign exchange rate; (v) the sale of non-core assets; (vi) percentage depletion; and (vii) the impact of uncertain tax positions. Therefore, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, period to period.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will record or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if it is determined that the Company ultimately will be more likely than not able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of factors that impact the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets. For additional information, please see the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2022 10-K.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations remains open from 2019 forward for the U.S. federal jurisdiction and from 2016 forward for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitation that will begin to expire within the next twelve months in various jurisdictions and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by less than $ 0.1 million in the next twelve months.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unrecognized tax benefits and accrued income-tax-related interest and penalties were not significant. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize potential interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expense.
NOTE 10 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has stock incentive plans for executives, directors and eligible employees. Stock awards include performance shares, restricted stock and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 2.6 million and $ 8.5 million, respectively, compared to $ 2.5 million and $ 7.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, there was $ 10.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.6 years.

The fair value of the 2029 Senior Notes was estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value of the RCF approximates book value as the liability is secured, has a variable interest rate, and lacks significant credit concerns.
In March 2022 the Company completed the sale of the La Preciosa project. The consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project included a promissory note payable to the Company that matured in March 2023 and was paid in full, and deferred cash consideration payable on the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project. These assets were valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including synthetic credit rating and quoted discount rate. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The consideration for the sale of La Preciosa project also included two royalties: a 1.25 % net smelter returns royalty on properties covering the Gloria and Abundancia areas of the La Preciosa project and a 2.00 % gross value royalty on all areas of the La Preciosa project other than the Gloria and Abundancia areas, and contingent consideration of $ 0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (adjusted for inflation) on any new mineral reserves discovered and declared outside of the current resources area at the La Preciosa project, up to a maximum payment of $ 50.0 million. These assets were initially measured at fair value at inception and remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration assets were $ 11.2 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, valued as of the date of closing of the transaction and were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of the royalties and the contingent consideration were valued using Monte Carlo simulation models. The model inputs included significant unobservable inputs and involve significant management judgment. The significant unobservable inputs included assumptions related to metal prices which assumed silver prices ranging from $ 22 to $ 25 per ounce and gold prices ranging from $ 1,700 to $ 1,930 per ounce as well as volatility assumptions for silver and gold prices ( 33.5 % and 19.0 %, respectively), and an assumed weighted average cost of capital of 15.5 %. Such instruments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
In May 2023, the Company sold the La Preciosa Deferred Consideration for cash consideration of $ 7.0 million and deferred consideration of $ 1.0 million payable on the first anniversary of initial production from any portion of the La Preciosa project resulting in a loss on the sale of $ 12.3 million, which was recognized in Other, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The deferred cash consideration was measured at a fair value of $ 0.8 million at inception and will be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. It was valued using the pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including synthetic credit rating and quoted discount rate. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The consideration for the sale of Sterling/Crown exploration properties included the right to an additional payment of $ 50.0 million should the Buyer, its affiliates or its successors, report gold resources in the Sterling/Crown exploration properties (including any in-situ ounces mined after the closing of the Transaction) equal to or greater than 3,500,000 gold ounces, subject to certain additional terms and conditions detailed in the stock purchase agreement. The fair value of the contingent consideration asset of $ 13.0 million valued as of the date of closing of the transaction was valued using a discounted cash flow model and is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The model inputs include significant unobservable inputs, involve significant management judgment and is classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs included managements assumption related to the probability (75%) and timing (ranging from 5 years to 30 years) of achieving reported gold resources equal to or greater than 3,500,000 gold ounces and a discount rate of 8.1 %.
NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. Derivative gains and losses are included in operating cash flows in the period in which they contractually settle. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to either recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices, particularly during times of elevated capital expenditures, the Company enters into forward contracts. The contracts are net settled monthly and if the actual price of gold or silver at the time of expiration is lower than the fixed price or higher than the fixed price, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows:
In thousands except average prices and notional ounces 2023 2024 and Thereafter
Gold forwards
Average gold fixed price per ounce $ 1,977 $ —
Notional ounces 55,749 —
Silver forwards
Average silver fixed price per ounce $ 25.47 $ —
Notional ounces 1,245,000 —
The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of metal sales revenue are recognized as a component of Revenue in the same period as the related sale is recognized.
At inception, the Company performed an assessment of the forecasted transactions and the hedging instruments and determined that the hedging relationships are considered perfectly effective. Future assessments are performed to verify that critical terms of the hedging instruments and the forecasted transactions continue to match, and the forecasted transactions remain probable, as well as an assessment of any adverse developments regarding the risk of the counterparties defaulting on their commitments. There have been no such changes in critical terms or adverse developments.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $ 11.7 million of net after-tax gains in AOCI related to gains from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $ 11.7 million of net after-tax gains is expected to be recognized in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the next 12 months. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to net income are dependent on the price of gold and silver for metal contracts.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Provisional Metal Sales
The Company enters into sales contracts with third-party smelters, refiners and off-take customers which, in some cases, provide for a provisional payment based upon preliminary assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable recorded at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings each period until final settlement.
Zero Cost Collars
To protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices the Company entered into Asian (or average value) put and call option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements. The contracts were net cash settled monthly and, if the price of gold at the time of expiration was between the put and call prices, it would expire at no cost to the Company. If the price of gold at the time of expiration was lower than the put prices or higher than the call prices, it would result in a realized gain or loss, respectively. The Company elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company voluntarily de-designated hedge accounting for the zero cost collars and subsequently terminated the arrangements. The cost to terminate the zero cost collars was $ 7.7 million, of which $ 3.1 million was recognized in earnings and the remaining $ 4.6 million, which represents the fair value of the zero cost collars on the date of de-designation, was retained in AOCI and was recognized in earnings in 2022 as the forecasted transactions occurred.

Credit Risk
The credit risk exposure related to any derivative instrument is limited to the unrealized gains, if any, on outstanding contracts based on current market prices. To reduce counter-party credit exposure, the Company enters into contracts with institutions management deems credit-worthy and limits credit exposure to each institution. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties.

NOTE 14 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were 1,090,981 and 1,641,510 common stock equivalents, respectively, related to equity-based awards that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. Similarly, 3,719,764 and 2,013,571 common stock equivalents were excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

On September 13, 2023, the Company completed a $ 50.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “September 2023 Equity Offering”). The September 2023 Equity Offering was conducted pursuant to an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, entered into on August 10, 2023 between the Company and BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC as sales agents. The Company sold a total of 21,699,856 shares of its common stock in the September 2023 Equity Offering at an average price of $ 2.30 per share, raising net proceeds (after sales commissions) of $ 49.3 million. Proceeds from the September 2023 Equity Offering were used to reduce outstanding amounts under the RCF and for general corporate purposes.
On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain Canadian accredited investors (the “Investors”) for a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Offering”) of an aggregate of 5,276,154 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, to be issued as “flow-through shares,” as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “FT Shares”), which closed on June 27, 2023. The Company granted an over-allotment option of up to 3,000,000 additional flow-through shares, which was exercised in full and closed on July 20, 2023. The proceeds of the Private Placement Offering will be used by the Company for certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)). The initial Private Placement Offering raised net proceeds of $ 18.2 million, of which $ 5.1 million represents net proceeds received in excess of the Company’s trading price (“FT Premium Liability”). The FT Premium Liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will decrease in subsequent periods as certain qualifying “Canadian Exploration Expenditures” are incurred. The over-allotment raised net proceeds of $ 10.5 million, including an additional $ 2.7 million of FT Premium Liability.
The FT Shares were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered and sold outside the United States to accredited investors in reliance on Regulation S and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act.
On March 17, 2023, the Company completed a $ 100.0 million “at the market” offering of its common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “March 2023 Equity Offering”).

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Mexico Litigation Matters
As of September 30, 2023, $ 29.4 million in principal is due from the Mexican government associated with amounts that were paid as VAT under Coeur Mexicana, S.A. de C.V.’s (“Coeur Mexicana’s”) prior royalty agreement with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation, which was terminated in 2016. Coeur Mexicana applied for and initially received refunds in the normal course of these amounts paid as VAT associated with the royalty payments; however, in 2011 the Mexican tax authorities began denying refunds of these amounts based on the argument that VAT was not legally due on the royalty payments. Accordingly, Coeur Mexicana began to request refunds of these amounts paid as VAT as undue payments, which the Mexican tax authorities also denied. The Company has since been engaged in ongoing efforts to recover these amounts from the Mexican government (including through litigation and potential arbitration as well as refiling refund requests as undue payments rather than refunds of VAT that was due). Despite a favorable ruling from Mexican tax courts in this matter in 2018, litigation of the matter continued at the Mexican administrative, appeals court and supreme court levels for several years, most of which was determined unfavorably to Coeur based on interpretations of applicable law and prior court decisions which the Company and its counsel believe are contrary to legal precedent, conflicting and erroneous. While the Company believes that it remains legally entitled to be refunded the full amount of the receivable and intends to rigorously continue its recovery efforts, based on the continued failure to recover the receivable and unfavorable Mexican court decisions, the Company determined to write down the carrying value of the receivable at September 30, 2021. Coeur has elected to initiate an arbitration proceeding under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, to resolve the matter. Outcomes in NAFTA arbitration and the process for recovering funds even if there is a successful outcome in NAFTA arbitration can be lengthy and unpredictable.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In addition, ongoing litigation with the Mexican government associated with enforcement of water rights in Mexico, if unsuccessful, may impact Coeur Mexicana’s ability to access new sources of water to provide sufficient supply for its operations at Palmarejo and, if material, may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and financial results.
Palmarejo Gold Stream
Coeur Mexicana sells 50 % of Palmarejo gold production (excluding production from certain properties acquired in 2015) to a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) under a gold stream agreement for the lesser of $ 800 or spot price per ounce. In 2016, Coeur Mexicana received a $ 22.0 million deposit toward future deliveries under the gold stream agreement. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, although Coeur Mexicana has satisfied its contractual obligation to repay the deposit to Franco-Nevada, the deposit is accounted for as deferred revenue and is recognized as revenue on a units-of-production basis as ounces are sold to Franco-Nevada. Because there is no minimum obligation associated with the deposit, it is not considered a financing, and each shipment is considered to be a separate performance obligation. The stream agreement represents a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to ratably recognize a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold ounce delivered to Franco-Nevada. The remaining unamortized balance is included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2022 10-K for additional detail.
The following table presents a roll forward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance:

Metal Sales Prepayments
In June 2019, Coeur amended its existing sales and purchase contract with a metal sales counterparty for gold concentrate from its Kensington mine (the “Amended Sales Contract”). From time to time thereafter, the Amended Sales Contract has been further amended to allow for additional prepayments. In December 2022, the Company received a $ 25.0 million prepayment, all of which was recognized as revenue in the first half of 2023. In June 2023, the Company exercised an option to receive a further $ 25.0 million prepayment, a portion of which was recognized in revenue in the third quarter of 2023. Additionally, in June 2023, the Company entered into sales and purchase contracts with a metal sales counterparty to allow for a $ 10.0 million prepayment for deliveries of gold concentrate from its Wharf mine and a $ 10.0 million prepayment for deliveries of gold and silver doré from its Rochester mine, all of which were recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2023. In September 2023, the contracts related to Wharf and Rochester were amended to increase the maximum amount available in prepayments to $ 12.5 million and $ 17.5 million, respectively, which were received.
The metal sales prepayments represent a contract liability under ASC 606, which requires the Company to recognize ratably a portion of the deposit as revenue for each gold and silver ounce delivered to the customer. The remaining contract liability is included in Accrued liabilities and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 2 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the 2022 10-K for additional detail.

Rochester Expansion Project Update
Construction of the new three-stage crushing circuit is now complete and first production from the new leach pad and process plant began in mid-September. Commissioning of the process plant is complete and commissioning of the new crusher corridor is underway, with ramp-up expected throughout the remainder of 2023 and into the first half of 2024.
Once operating at full capacity, throughput levels are expected to average 32 million tons per year, which is approximately 2.5 times higher than historical levels, making Rochester one of the largest open pit heap leach operations in the world. The total estimated capital for the project remains at $ 710 - $ 730 million.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, bank guarantees and, in some cases, cash as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, collateral for gold and silver hedges and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had surety bonds totaling $ 332.3 million and $ 326.8 million, respectively, in place as financial support for future reclamation and closure costs. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations and, from time-to-time, the Company may be required to post collateral, including cash or letters of credit which reduce availability under its revolving credit facility, to support these instruments. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.
