Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 60 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Coeur Mining, Inc. Opinion on the financial statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coeur Mining, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 21, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion. Basis for opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical audit matters The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Ore on Leach Pads and long-term stockpile – Rochester mine As described further in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s ore on leach pads balance was $105 million, which includes $88 million at the Company’s Rochester mine, as of December 31, 2023. The balance is comprised of a current balance of $62 million and a non-current balance of $26 million. The Rochester mine long-term stockpile balance is $47 million as of December 31, 2023. The measurement and valuation of the ore on leach pads and long-term stockpile balances involve significant management estimates and assumptions related to the measurement of metal content of ore placed on the leach pads and long-term stockpile, including estimates pertaining to recovery rates and ore grades. The balances are determined based on actual production costs incurred to produce and place ore on the leach pads and long-term stockpile, less costs allocated to minerals recovered through the leach process. The historical cost of metal expected to be extracted within twelve months is classified as current on the balance sheet. We identified the measurement and valuation for the ore on leach pads and long-term stockpile for the Rochester mine as a critical audit matter. 61 The principal considerations for our determination that Rochester’s ore on leach pads and long-term stockpile is a critical audit matter are that certain management assumptions are complex and have a higher degree of estimation uncertainty and changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the balance. In turn, auditing these amounts required significant auditor judgement. Our audit procedures related to Rochester’s ore on leach pads and long-term stockpile included the following, among others. • We obtained and tested Rochester’s 2023 roll forward of the estimated ounces and costs added to, and recovered from the Company’s leach pads and stockpile and reconciled the ending amounts of ounces and costs to the Company’s inventory and production records and tested certain assumptions, such as estimated recovery rates, and ore grades. • We tested the Company’s lower of cost or market analysis and related adjustments. • For the roll forward of estimated ounces, we assessed the completeness and accuracy of mining production information, including tests of daily tonnage processed. • We evaluated management’s laboratory procedures related to assay testing used to estimate ore grade. • We evaluated the Company’s use of specialists and their qualifications and experience related to their input on the recovery rates and ore grades estimates used by management in its calculation of ore on leach pads and long-term stockpile balances. • We assessed the estimated timing of recoveries, which management uses in classifying current and non-current portions of the ore on leach pads balance. • We tested the effectiveness of management’s controls over mining production information, estimating the recovery rates, ore grades, lower of cost or market calculations, and inventory roll forward related to recording Rochester’s balance of ore on leach pads and long-term stockpile. /s/ Grant Thornton LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016. Chicago, Illinois February 21, 2024 62 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Coeur Mining, Inc. Opinion on internal control over financial reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Coeur Mining, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and our report dated February 21, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Grant Thornton LLP Chicago, Illinois February 21, 2024 63 COEUR MINING, INC.

(“Coeur” or the “Company”) is primarily a gold and silver producer with assets in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Coeur was incorporated as an Idaho corporation in 1928 under the name Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation and on May 16, 2013, changed its state of incorporation from the State of Idaho to the State of Delaware and changed its name to Coeur Mining, Inc. Coeur’s corporate headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Risks and uncertainties As a mining company, the revenue, profitability and future rate of growth of the Company are substantially dependent on the prevailing prices for gold, silver, zinc and lead. The prices of these metals are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, including prevailing interest rates and returns on other asset classes, expectations regarding inflation, speculation, currency values, governmental decisions regarding precious metals stockpiles, global and regional demand and production, political and economic conditions and other factors. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. Further, the carrying value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment and mining properties, net, inventories and ore on leach pads are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. In addition to changes in commodity prices, other factors such as changes in mine plans, increases in costs, geotechnical failures, changes in social, environmental or regulatory requirements and impacts of global events such as future pandemics could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. Use of Estimates The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the Company's 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 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. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the most significant of which are Coeur Mexicana S.A. de C.V., Coeur Rochester, Inc., Coeur Alaska, Inc., Wharf Resources (U.S.A.), Inc., and Coeur Silvertip Holdings Ltd. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Reclassifications Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company minimizes its credit risk by investing its cash and cash equivalents with major U.S. and international banks and financial institutions located principally in the United States with a minimum credit rating of A1, as defined by Standard & Poor’s. The Company’s management believes that no concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the investment of its cash and cash equivalents. At certain times, amounts on deposit may exceed federal deposit insurance limits. 68 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Receivables Trade receivables and other receivable balances are recognized net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance represents the portion of the amortized cost basis that the Company does not expect to collect due to credit over the contractual life of the receivables, taking into considered past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. As of December 31, 2023, the amount of credit loss recognized is not significant. Ore on Leach Pads The heap leach process extracts silver and gold by placing ore on an impermeable pad and applying a diluted cyanide solution that dissolves a portion of the contained silver and gold, which are then recovered in metallurgical processes. The Company uses several integrated steps to scientifically measure the metal content of ore placed on the leach pads. As the ore body is drilled in preparation for the blasting process, samples are taken of the drill residue and are assayed to determine estimated quantities of contained metal. The Company then processes the ore through crushing facilities where the output is again weighed and sampled for assaying. A metallurgical reconciliation with the data collected from the mining operation is completed with appropriate adjustments made to previous estimates. The crushed ore is then transported to the leach pad for application of the leaching solution. As the leach solution is collected from the leach pads, it is continuously sampled for assaying. The quantity of leach solution is measured by flow meters throughout the leaching and precipitation process. After precipitation, the product is converted to doré at the Rochester mine and a form of gold electrolytic cathodic sludge at the Wharf mine, representing the final product produced by each mine. The inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method. The historical cost of metal expected to be extracted within 12 months is classified as current and the historical cost of metals contained within the broken ore expected to be extracted beyond 12 months is classified as non-current. Ore on leach pads is valued based on actual production costs incurred to produce and place ore on the leach pad, less costs allocated to minerals recovered through the leach process. The estimate of both the ultimate recovery expected over time and the quantity of metal that may be extracted relative to the time the leach process occurs requires the use of estimates, which are inherently inaccurate due to the nature of the leaching process. The quantities of metal contained in the ore are based upon actual weights and assay analysis. The rate at which the leach process extracts gold and silver from the crushed ore is based upon laboratory testing and actual experience of more than 20 years of leach pad operations at the Rochester mine and 30 years of leach pad operations at the Wharf mine. The assumptions used by the Company to measure metal content during each stage of the inventory conversion process includes estimated recovery rates based on laboratory testing and assaying. The Company periodically reviews its estimates compared to actual experience and revises its estimates when appropriate. The ultimate recovery will not be known until leaching operations cease. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s estimated recoverable ounces of gold and silver on the leach pads were 25,659 and 3.9 million, respectively. Metal and Other Inventory Inventories include concentrate, doré, and operating materials and supplies. The classification of inventory is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method. Concentrate and doré inventory includes product at the mine site and product held by refineries. Metal inventory costs include direct labor, materials, depreciation, depletion and amortization as well as overhead costs relating to mining activities. Property, Plant, and Equipment and Mining Properties, Net Expenditures for new facilities, assets acquired pursuant to finance leases, new assets or expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the shorter of estimated productive lives of such facilities, lease term, or the useful life of the individual assets. Productive lives range from 7 to 30 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Certain mining equipment is depreciated using the units-of-production method based upon estimated total proven and probable reserves. Capitalization of mine development costs begins once all operating permits have been secured, mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves and a final feasibility study has been completed. Mine development costs include engineering and metallurgical studies, drilling and other related costs to delineate an ore body, the removal of overburden to initially expose an ore body at open pit surface mines and the building of access ways, shafts, lateral access, drifts, ramps and other infrastructure at underground mines. Costs incurred before mineralization are classified as proven and probable reserves are capitalized if a project is in pre-production phase or expensed and classified as Exploration or Pre-development if the project is not yet in pre-production. Mine development costs are amortized using the units-of-production method over the 69 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements estimated life of the ore body generally based on recoverable ounces to be mined from proven and probable reserves. Interest expense allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to construct new facilities is capitalized until assets are ready for their intended use. Drilling and related costs incurred at the Company’s operating mines are expensed as incurred in Exploration, unless the Company can conclude with a high degree of confidence, prior to the commencement of a drilling program, that the drilling costs will result in the conversion of a mineral resource into mineral reserve. The Company’s assessment is based on the following factors: results from previous drill programs; results from geological models; results from a mine scoping study confirming economic viability of the resource; and preliminary estimates of mine inventory, ore grade, cash flow and mine life. In addition, the Company must have all permitting and/or contractual requirements necessary to have the right to and/or control of the future benefit from the targeted ore body. The costs of a drilling program that meet these criteria are capitalized as mine development costs. Drilling and related costs of approximately $ 10.0 million and $ 21.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were capitalized. The cost of removing overburden and waste materials to access the ore body at an open pit mine prior to the production phase are referred to as “pre-stripping costs.” Pre-stripping costs are capitalized during the development of an open pit mine. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that are included as a component of inventory to be recognized in Costs applicable to sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of inventory. Significant payments related to the acquisition of land and mineral rights are capitalized. Prior to acquiring such land or mineral rights, the Company generally makes a preliminary evaluation to determine that the property has significant potential to develop an economic ore body. The time between initial acquisition and full evaluation of a property’s potential is variable and is determined by many factors including: location relative to existing infrastructure, the property’s stage of development, geological controls and metal prices. If a mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method based on recoverable ounces to be mined from proven and probable reserves. If no mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value. Impairment of Long-lived Assets We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated undiscounted pretax future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. An impairment loss is measured by discounted estimated future cash flows, and recorded by reducing the asset's carrying amount to fair value. Future cash flows are estimated based on estimated quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold, silver, lead and zinc prices (considering current and historical prices, trends and related factors), production levels, operating costs, capital requirements and reclamation costs, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves are included when determining the fair value of mine site asset groups at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold, silver, lead and zinc that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those risk factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineral resources could ultimately be mined economically. Assets classified as exploration potential have the highest level of risk that the carrying value of the asset can be ultimately realized, due to the still lower level of geological confidence and economic modeling. Gold, silver, zinc and lead prices are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, including prevailing interest rates and returns on other asset classes, expectations regarding inflation, speculation, currency values, governmental decisions regarding precious metals stockpiles, global and regional demand and production, political and economic conditions and other factors may affect the key assumptions used in the Company’s impairment testing. Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production levels from proven and probable reserves. Additionally, production, capital and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions used in the cash flow models used to assess impairment. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates and result in additional Impairment of Long-lived Assets . Restricted Assets The Company, under the terms of its self-insurance and bonding agreements with certain banks, lending institutions and regulatory agencies, is required to collateralize certain portions of its obligations. The Company has collateralized these 70 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements obligations by assigning certificates of deposit that have maturity dates ranging from three months to a year, to the respective institutions or agencies. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company held certificates of deposit and cash under these agreements of $ 9.1 million and $ 9.0 million, respectively. The ultimate timing of the release of the collateralized amounts is dependent on the timing and closure of each mine and repayment of the facility. In order to release the collateral, the Company must seek approval from certain government agencies responsible for monitoring the mine closure status. Collateral could also be released to the extent the Company is able to secure alternative financial assurance satisfactory to the regulatory agencies. The Company believes there is a reasonable probability that the collateral will remain in place beyond a twelve-month period and has therefore classified these investments as long-term. Leases We determine if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. Operating leases are included in Other assets, non-current with the related liabilities included in Accrued liabilities and Other and Other long-term liabilities . Assets under finance leases, which primarily represent property and equipment, are included in Property, plant and equipment, net , with the related liabilities included in debt, current and debt, non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Variable components of the lease payments such as maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and not included in determining the present value. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We have elected to not recognize operating lease assets and liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component. See Note 8 -- Leases for additional information related to the Company’s operating and finance leases. Reclamation The Company recognizes obligations for the expected future retirement of tangible long-lived assets and other associated asset retirement costs. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation will be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. An accretion cost, representing the increase over time in the present value of the liability, is recorded each period in Pre-development, reclamation, and other . As reclamation work is performed or liabilities are otherwise settled, the recorded amount of the liability is reduced. Future remediation costs for inactive mines are accrued based on management’s best estimate at the end of each period of the discounted costs expected to be incurred at the site. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, ongoing care and maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates are reflected prospectively in the period an estimate is revised. See Note 10 -- Reclamation for additional information. Foreign Currency The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using U.S. dollars as their functional currency. Revenues and expenses are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in the determination of net income or loss. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effect of changes in metal prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company, from time to time, uses derivative contracts to protect the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices and foreign exchange rates. The Company has elected to designate these instruments as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions at their inception. Assuming normal market conditions, the change in the market value of such derivative contracts has historically been, and is expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged item. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency transactions are recognized as a component of Costs applicable to sales or Pre-development, reclamation and other in the same period the related expenses are incurred. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, the Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the value of derivative 71 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recorded each period in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Fair value adjustments, net or Revenue . Management applies judgment in estimating the fair value of instruments that are highly sensitive to assumptions regarding commodity prices, market volatilities, and foreign currency exchange rates. See Note 14 -- Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information. Stock-based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using market comparison. Stock options granted are accounted for as equity-based awards. The Company estimates forfeitures of stock-based awards based on historical data and periodically adjusts the forfeiture rate. The adjustment of the forfeiture rate is recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. Compensation costs related to stock-based compensation are included in General and administrative expenses , Costs applicable to sales , and Property, plant, and equipment, net as deemed appropriate. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the Company's stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of performance leverage stock units with market conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock based compensation expense related to awards with a market or performance condition is generally recognized over the vesting period of the award utilizing the graded vesting method, while all other awards are recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company's estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, additional stock option grants, estimates of forfeitures, the Company's performance, and related tax impacts. See Note 12 -- Stock-Based Compensation for additional information. Income and Mining Taxes The Company uses an asset and liability approach which results in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences or benefits of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A valuation allowance has been provided for the portion of the Company’s net deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. Revenue Recognition The Company produces doré and concentrate that is shipped to third-party refiners and smelters, respectively, for processing. The Company enters into contracts to sell its metal to various third-party customers which may include the refiners and smelters that process the doré and concentrate. The Company’s performance obligation in these transactions is generally the transfer of metal to the customer. In the case of doré shipments, the Company generally sells refined metal at market prices agreed upon by both parties. The Company also has the right, but not the obligation, to sell a portion of the anticipated refined metal in advance of being fully refined. When the Company sells refined metal or advanced metal, the performance obligation is satisfied when the metal is delivered to the customer. Revenue and Costs applicable to sales are recorded on a gross basis under these contracts at the time the performance obligation is satisfied. Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, metal prices are set on a specified future quotational period, typically one to three months after the shipment date, based on market prices. When the Company sells gold concentrate to the third-party smelters, the performance obligation is satisfied when risk of loss is transferred to the customer. The contracts, in general, provide for provisional payment based upon provisional assays and historical metal prices. Final settlement is based on the applicable price for the specified future quotational period and generally occurs three to six months after shipment. The Company’s provisionally priced sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates measured at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is adjusted to fair value through revenue each period until the date of final metal settlement. The Company also sells concentrate under off-take agreements to third-party customers that are responsible for arranging the smelting of the concentrate. Prices can either be fixed or based on a quotational period. The quotational period varies by contract, but is generally a one-month period following the shipment of the concentrate. The performance obligation is satisfied when risk of loss is transferred to the customer. 72 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company recognizes revenue from concentrate sales, net of treatment and refining charges, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer. For doré and off-take sales, the Company may incur a finance charge related to advance sales that is not considered significant and, as such, is not considered a separate performance obligation. In addition, the Company has elected to treat freight costs as a fulfillment cost under ASC 606 and not as a separate performance obligation. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards 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 and does not expect the new derivatives and hedging standard to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” , which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” , which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. 73 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s operating segments include the Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington and Wharf mines and Silvertip exploration property. Except for the Silvertip exploration property, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver.

refined into gold and silver bullion according to benchmark standards set by the London Bullion Market Association, which regulates the acceptable requirements for bullion traded in the London precious metals markets. The Company then sells its gold and silver bullion to multi-national banks, bullion trading houses, and refiners across the globe. The Company had seven trading counterparties at December 31, 2023. The Company's sales of doré or electrolytic cathodic sludge product produced by the Palmarejo, Rochester, and Wharf mines amounted to approximately 80 %, 74 %, and 74 %, of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company's gold concentrate product from the Kensington mine is sold under a long term offtake agreement and is shipped to geographically diverse third-party smelters who are responsible for arranging the smelting of the concentrate. The Company’s sales of concentrate produced by the Kensington amounted to approximately 20 %, 26 %, and 26 % of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company believes that the loss of any one smelter, refiner, trader or third-party customer would not have a material adverse effect on the Company due to the liquidity of the markets and current availability of alternative trading counterparties. The following table indicates customers that represent 10% or more of total sales of metal for at least one of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 (in millions): Year ended December 31, Customer 2023 2022 2021 Segments reporting revenue Bank of Montreal $ 367.2 $ 341.5 $ 98.7 Palmarejo, Rochester, Wharf Ocean Partners $ 346.2 $ 168.9 $ 176.4 Palmarejo, Kensington Asahi $ 63.7 $ 125.3 $ 323.8 Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington, Wharf NOTE 4 – RECEIVABLES Receivables consist of the following: In thousands December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Current receivables: Trade receivables $ 3,858 $ 6,302 VAT receivable 15,634 10,741 Income tax receivable 10,207 9,719 Avino note receivable (1) — 4,926 Gold and silver forwards realized gains (2) 615 4,059 Other 721 586 $ 31,035 $ 36,333 Non-current receivables: Other tax receivable (3) $ 9,111 $ — Deferred cash consideration (1) 834 7,677 Contingent consideration (1) 13,195 14,346 $ 23,140 $ 22,023 Total receivables $ 54,175 $ 58,356 (1) See Note 13 -- Fair Value Measurements for additional details on the Avino note receivable, deferred cash consideration and contingent consideration.

The 2029 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of March 1, 2021 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, certain of the Company's subsidiaries named therein, as guarantors thereto (the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The 2029 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.125 % per year from the date of issuance. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2021. The 2029 Senior Notes will mature on February 15, 2029 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors. As of February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2029 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability under certain circumstances to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt, make loans and investments, create liens, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting the Company's subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends and impose conditions on the Company’s ability to engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of its assets. The Indenture also contains certain “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture) customary for indentures of this type. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes then outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes then outstanding shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the 2029 Senior Notes to be due and payable. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company exchanged $ 76.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Senior Notes plus accrued interest for 25.2 million shares of its common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of the exchanges, the exchanges resulted in an aggregate gain of $ 3.4 million on debt extinguishment. The exchange transactions represent non-cash financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. Revolving Credit Facility In September 2017, the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into a $ 200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“RCF”) pursuant to a credit agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017 (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch, the Bank of Nova Scotia and ING Capital LLC, as lenders (the “Credit Agreement”) with an original term of four years. Loans under the RCF bear interest at a rate equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00 % to 1.75 % or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00 % to 2.75 %, as selected by the Company, in each case, with such margin determined in accordance with a pricing grid based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the end of the applicable period. In October 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the RCF by $ 50.0 million from $ 200.0 million to $ 250.0 million and extend the term by approximately one year to October 2022. In April and August of 2019, the Company entered into amendments to the Credit Agreement to, among other items, modify the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility in 2019. On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the RCF from $ 250.0 million to $ 300.0 million and to include ING Capital LLC as an incremental lender on the RCF. On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the RCF to March 2025 and (ii) permit the Company to obtain one or more increases of the RCF, then-currently in the amount of $ 300.0 million, in an aggregate amount of up to $ 100.0 million in incremental loans and commitments, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from relevant lenders to provide such increase. On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “May Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the RCF from $ 300.0 million to $ 390.0 million and to include Goldman Sachs Bank USA as a lender on the RCF. On November 9, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “November Amendment”) to the RCF. The November Amendment, among other things, (1) modifies the financial covenants to provide greater flexibility under the consolidated net leverage ratio requirement through December 31, 2023, with the ratio returning to the original level as outlined in the RCF starting with March 31, 2024 (the “Amendment Period”), (2) allows up to $ 50 million 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 early 2023, (4) requires the Company to repay outstanding amounts under the RCF if cash-on-hand exceeds $ 60 million during the Amendment Period, and (5) restricts certain payments and the incurrence of certain liens during the Amendment Period. 80 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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 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. On February 21, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “February 2024 Amendment”) to the RCF. The February 2024 Amendment, among other things, (1) extends the term of the RCF by approximately 2 years so that it now matures in February 2027, (2) increases the RCF by $ 10 million from $ 390 million to $ 400 million, (3) adds Fédération Des Caisses Desjardins Du Québec and National Bank of Canada as lenders on the RCF, (4) permits the Company to obtain one or more increases of the RCF in an aggregate amount of up to $ 100.0 million in incremental loans and commitments, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from relevant lenders to provide such increase, (5) allows for unencumbered domestic cash to be included in the calculation of the consolidated net leverage ratio, and (6) allows up to $ 15 million of non-capitalized underground mine development costs related to Silvertip to be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of the RCF. The RCF is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, including the land, mineral rights and infrastructure at the Kensington, Rochester and Wharf mines as well as a pledge of the shares and other equity interests of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are usual and customary, including representations, warranties, and covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur or permit liens on assets, make investments and acquisitions, consolidate or merge with any other company, engage in asset sales and make dividends and distributions. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Obligations under the RCF may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 175.0 million drawn at a weighted-average interest rate of 9.2 %, $ 29.6 million in outstanding letters of credit and $ 185.4 million available under the RCF. Future borrowing may be subject to certain financial covenants. Finance Lease Obligations From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment and facilities under finance lease agreements. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements for mining equipment at Rochester and Kensington for $ 35.2 million. The new finance lease arrangements represent non-cash investing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. Coeur secured a finance lease package for nearly $ 60.0 million in 2021, all of which has been funded as of December 31, 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.

Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, and future expenditures could differ from current estimates. The estimated reclamation and mine closure costs were discounted using credit-adjusted, risk-free interest rates ranging from 7.2 % to 10.0 %. The asset retirement obligation increased in 2023 due to overall inflationary impacts, increased reclamation and mine closure costs at Rochester associated with the POA 11 expansion project and additional costs at Wharf and Rochester associated with the existing open pit and leach pad operations. This was partially offset by a decrease at Kensington attributable to the timing of reclamation and mine closure costs resulting from the mine life extension. Changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for its operating sites are as follows: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2023 2022 Asset retirement obligation - Beginning $ 202,431 $ 181,888 Accretion 16,405 14,232 Additions and changes to estimates 991 13,001 Disposition of Sterling/Crown exploration properties — ( 1,840 ) Settlements ( 5,814 ) ( 4,850 ) Asset retirement obligation - Ending (1) $ 214,013 $ 202,431 (1) December 31, 2023 includes $11.0 million of asset retirement obligation that is expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

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 will ultimately 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. Based upon this analysis, the Company has recorded valuation allowances as follows: 83 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2023 2022 U.S. $ 262,059 $ 245,899 Canada 194,727 178,310 Mexico 723 441 New Zealand 22,229 19,993 Other 108 346 $ 479,846 $ 444,989 The Company has the following tax attribute carryforwards at December 31, 2023, by jurisdiction: In thousands U.S. Canada Mexico New Zealand Other Total Regular net operating losses $ 623,108 $ 440,506 $ 1,998 $ 79,886 $ 429 $ 1,145,927 Expiration years 2024-2037, Indefinite 2028-2043 2029-2034 Indefinite 2025-2028 Capital losses — — — — — — Foreign tax credits 10,864 — — — — 10,864 As of December 31, 2023, for U.S. income tax purposes, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 623.1 million and $ 465.6 million, respectively. U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $ 318.5 million arising before December 31, 2017 have a 20 -year expiration period, the earliest of which could expire in 2024. U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $ 304.6 million arising in 2018 and future periods have an indefinite carryforward period. Foreign tax credits expire if unused beginning in 2024. The utilization of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and recognized built-in losses may be subject to limitation under the rules regarding a change in stock ownership as determined by the Internal Revenue Code and state tax laws. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes annual limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and certain built-in losses upon an ownership change as defined under that Section. Generally, an ownership change may result from transactions that increase the aggregate ownership of certain shareholders in the Company’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year testing period. If the Company experiences an ownership change, an annual limitation would be imposed on certain of the Company’s tax attributes, including net operating losses and certain other losses, credits, deductions or tax basis. Management has determined that the Company experienced ownership changes during 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2015 for purposes of Section 382. Based on management’s calculations, the Company does not expect any of its U.S. tax attributes to expire unused as a result of the Section 382 annual limitations. However, the annual limitations may impact the timeframe over which the net operating loss carryforwards can be used, potentially impacting cash tax liabilities in a future period. The U.S. federal tax credits and state net operating losses may potentially be limited as well. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our US net deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company may also experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership. As a result, if the Company earns U.S. federal taxable income, it may be limited in the ability to (1) recognize current deductions on built-in loss assets and (2) offset this income with our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credit carryforwards, which may be subject to limitations, potentially resulting in increased future tax liability to us. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal net operating losses is limited to 80% of future taxable income. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act suspended the 80% limitation on losses incurred in 2018 and in future years, for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect this to impact its net operating loss usage. In prior years, the Company had asserted that earnings from its Mexican operations were indefinitely reinvested; however, the Company now intends to repatriate certain earnings from its Mexican operations and has provided deferred income taxes on the planned distributions. 84 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount related to unrecognized tax benefits is below (in thousands): Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2021 $ 295 Gross increase to current period tax positions — Gross increase to prior period tax positions 24 Reductions in unrecognized tax benefits resulting from a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations ( 315 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022 $ 4 Gross increase to current period tax positions $ — Gross increase to prior period tax positions $ 1 Reductions in unrecognized tax benefits resulting from a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations $ ( 3 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2023 $ 2 At December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, $ 2 thousand, $ 4 thousand, and $ 0.3 million, respectively, of these gross unrecognized benefits would, if recognized, decrease the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and paid the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and, in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved. The Company files income tax returns in various U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, in all identified foreign jurisdictions, and various others. The statute of limitations remains open from 2020 for the US federal jurisdiction and from 2016 for certain other foreign jurisdictions. As a result of statutes of limitations that will begin to expire within the next 12 months in various jurisdictions and possible settlement of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of these issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its unrecognized income tax liability will decrease less than $ 0.1 million in the next 12 months. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and recognized interest and penalties of nil , nil , and $ 0.4 million at December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. NOTE 12 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has stock incentive plans for executives and eligible employees. Stock awards include restricted stock, performance shares and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $ 11.4 million, $ 10.0 million and $ 13.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, there was $ 8.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.6 years. Restricted Stock Restricted stock granted under the Company’s incentive plans is accounted for based on the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and generally vest in equal installments annually over three years . Restricted stock awards are accounted for as equity awards. Holders of restricted stock are entitled to vote the shares and to receive any dividends declared on the shares. 85 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following table summarizes restricted stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021: Restricted Stock Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2020 2,724,724 $ 5.26 Granted 932,442 8.88 Vested ( 1,179,857 ) 5.53 Canceled/Forfeited ( 332,505 ) 5.83 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 2,144,804 $ 6.60 Granted 2,056,121 4.07 Vested ( 1,114,513 ) 6.08 Canceled/Forfeited ( 301,802 ) 5.74 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 2,784,610 $ 5.05 Granted 3,251,765 2.94 Vested ( 1,381,246 ) 5.09 Canceled/Forfeited ( 680,710 ) 3.66 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 3,974,419 $ 3.54 At December 31, 2023, there was $ 4.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. Performance Shares Performance shares granted under the Company’s incentive plans are accounted for as equity awards at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Performance shares granted during and subsequent to 2020 will vest at the end of a three-year service period if internal performance metrics are met, with the number of shares vesting impacted by the inclusion of a modifier based upon a relative stockholder return metric. The relative stockholder return metric is included in the determination of the grant date fair value of the performance shares; however, the recognition of compensation cost for performance share awards is based on the results of the internal performance metrics. Performance shares granted prior to 2020 vested at the end of the three-year service period if relative stockholder return and internal performance metrics were met. The existence of a market condition required recognition of compensation cost for the performance share awards over the requisite period regardless of whether the relative stockholder return metric was met. 86 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following table summarizes performance shares activity for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021: Performance Shares Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2020 2,335,102 $ 4.83 Granted (1) 602,933 10.13 Vested ( 143,312 ) 7.39 Canceled/Forfeited (1) ( 404,710 ) 6.12 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 2,390,013 $ 5.80 Granted (2) 1,325,418 4.53 Vested ( 824,064 ) 5.54 Canceled/Forfeited (2) ( 316,830 ) 6.11 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 2,574,537 $ 5.26 Granted (3) 1,816,429 3.16 Vested ( 566,891 ) 4.00 Canceled/Forfeited (3) ( 664,165 ) 4.32 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 3,159,910 $ 4.52 (1) Includes 1,421 additional shares granted and 141,894 shares cancelled in connection with the vesting of the 2018 award in 2021 due to above-target and below target performance, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the award.

At December 31, 2023, there was $ 4.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to performance shares to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. Stock Options Stock options granted under the Company’s incentive plans generally vest over three years and are exercisable over a period not to exceed ten years from the grant date. The exercise price of stock options is equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. The value of each stock option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock options are accounted for as equity awards.

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), secondary priority to quoted prices in inactive markets or observable inputs (Level 2), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Fair Value at December 31, 2023 In thousands Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Provisional metal sales contracts $ 318 $ — $ 318 $ — Silver forwards 3,312 — 3,312 — $ 3,630 $ — $ 3,630 $ — Liabilities: Gold forwards $ 1,981 $ — $ 1,981 $ — 88 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Fair Value at December 31, 2022 In thousands Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Equity securities including warrants $ 44,152 $ 43,893 $ 259 $ — Provisional metal sales contracts 299 — 299 — Gold forwards 12,343 — 12,343 — $ 56,794 $ 43,893 $ 12,901 $ — Liabilities: Provisional metal sales contracts $ 10 $ — $ 10 $ — The Company’s investments in equity securities were recorded at fair market value in the financial statements based primarily on quoted market prices. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The common share purchase warrants the Company received as consideration in the La Preciosa project sale were valued using a pricing model with inputs derived from observable market data, including quoted market prices and quoted interest curve rates. 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 Company’s provisional metal sales contracts include concentrate and certain doré sales contracts that are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices. The Company’s gold and silver forward contracts are valued using pricing models with inputs derived from observable market data, including forward market prices, yield curves, and credit spreads. No assets or liabilities were transferred between fair value levels in the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities carried at book value in the financial statements at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is presented in the following table: December 31, 2023 In thousands Book Value Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: 2029 Senior Notes (1) $ 295,115 $ 271,272 $ — $ 271,272 $ — Revolving Credit Facility (2) $ 175,000 $ 175,000 $ — $ 175,000 $ — (1) Net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 3.9 million (2) Unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 2.8 million included in Other Non-Current Assets .

(2) Unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 3.6 million included in Other Non-Current Assets . 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 89 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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 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 14 – 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. 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. 90 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements At December 31, 2023, the Company had the following derivative cash flow hedge instruments that settle as follows: In thousands except average prices and notional ounces 2024 2025 and Thereafter Gold forwards Average gold fixed price per ounce $ 2,076 $ — Notional ounces 94,950 — Silver forwards Average silver fixed price per ounce $ 25.16 $ — Notional ounces 3,099,999 — 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 December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 1.3 million of net after-tax gains in AOCI related to gains from cash flow hedge transactions, of which $ 1.3 million of net after-tax gains is expected to be recognized in its 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. The following summarizes the classification of the fair value of the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: December 31, 2023 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Other assets Accrued liabilities and other Gold forwards $ — $ — $ 1,981 Silver forwards $ 3,312 $ — $ — December 31, 2022 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Other assets Accrued liabilities and other Gold forwards $ 12,343 $ — $ — The following table sets forth the after-tax gains (losses) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that have been included in AOCI and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively (in thousands). 91 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in AOCI Gold forwards $ ( 10,627 ) $ 42,043 $ — Silver forwards 10,309 — — Gold zero cost collars — ( 4,598 ) 22,733 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts — — 50 $ ( 318 ) $ 37,445 $ 22,783 Amount of (Gain) Loss Reclassified from AOCI to Earnings Gold forwards $ ( 3,697 ) $ ( 28,488 ) $ — Silver forwards ( 6,997 ) — — Gold zero cost collars — 4,598 938 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts — — ( 13,797 ) $ ( 10,694 ) $ ( 23,890 ) $ ( 12,859 ) 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. At December 31, 2023, the Company had the following derivative instruments that settle as follows: In thousands except average prices and notional ounces 2024 2025 and Thereafter Provisional gold sales contracts $ 31,570 $ — Average gold price per ounce $ 2,032 $ — Notional ounces 15,537 — The following summarizes the classification of the fair value of the derivative instruments: December 31, 2023 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Accrued liabilities and other Provisional metal sales contracts $ 318 $ — December 31, 2022 In thousands Prepaid expenses and other Accrued liabilities and other Provisional metal sales contracts $ 299 $ 10 The following represent mark-to-market gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively (in thousands): 92 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, Financial statement line Derivative 2023 2022 2021 Revenue Provisional metal sales contracts $ 30 $ 365 $ ( 490 ) Fair value adjustments, net Exchange agreement embedded derivative — — 9,933 Fair value adjustments, net Terminated zero cost collars — ( 3,139 ) — $ 30 $ ( 2,774 ) $ 9,443 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 16 – 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 years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, there were 1,777,273 , 952,664 and 634,419 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. 93 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, In thousands except per share amounts 2023 2022 2021 Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $ ( 103,612 ) $ ( 78,107 ) $ ( 31,322 ) Weighted average shares: Basic 343,059 275,178 250,044 Effect of stock-based compensation plans — — — Diluted 343,059 275,178 250,044 Income (loss) per share: Basic $ ( 0.30 ) $ ( 0.28 ) $ ( 0.13 ) Diluted $ ( 0.30 ) $ ( 0.28 ) $ ( 0.13 ) 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.

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 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. In 2023, the Company incurred qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures which resulted in the recognition of $ 2.3 million of the FT Premium Liability as a gain in the Income Statement. The remaining outstanding FT Premium Liability was $ 5.5 million as of December 31, 2023. 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.

SUMMARIZED STATEMENTS OF INCOME YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 In thousands Coeur Mining, Inc. Guarantor Subsidiaries Revenue $ — $ 507,998 Gross profit (loss) $ ( 1,104 ) $ 10,422 Net income (loss) $ ( 103,612 ) $ ( 44,819 ) NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Mexico Litigation Matters As of December 31, 2023, $ 31.2 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 refiling refund requests as undue payments rather than refunds of VAT that was due, litigation and international arbitration). 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 pursue recovery of the unduly paid VAT plus interest and other damages. 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. 95 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table presents a roll forward of the Franco-Nevada contract liability balance: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2023 2022 2021 Opening Balance $ 7,411 $ 8,150 $ 9,376 Revenue Recognized ( 469 ) ( 739 ) ( 1,226 ) Closing Balance $ 6,942 $ 7,411 $ 8,150 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, all of which was recognized as revenue in the first half of 2023. In December 2023, the Company received a $ 25.0 million prepayment. 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 electrolytic cathodic sludge 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, all of which were recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023. In December 2023, Wharf and Rochester received additional prepayments of $ 12.5 million and $ 17.5 million, respectively. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under the relevant terms of the Amended Sales Contract, Coeur maintains its exposure to the price of gold and expects to recognize the remaining value of the accrued liability by December 2024. The following table presents a roll forward of the prepayment contract liability balance: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2023 2022 2021 Opening Balance $ 25,016 $ 15,016 $ 15,003 Additions 130,066 36,020 30,013 Revenue Recognized ( 100,000 ) ( 26,020 ) ( 30,000 ) Closing Balance $ 55,082 $ 25,016 $ 15,016 Kensington Royalty Matter The Company’s subsidiary Coeur Alaska, Inc. (“Coeur Alaska”) is currently engaged in litigation with Maverix Metals Inc. and Maverix Metals (Nevada) Inc. (collectively “Maverix”) regarding the appropriate costs to be included in the cost recoupment calculation under a royalty deed before the royalty is payable on production from a portion of the Kensington mine 96 Coeur Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements property (the “Maverix Litigation”). While the Company continues to believe in the validity of its claims and counterclaims in the matter, it has determined that settlement is appropriate given the inherent uncertainty presented in litigation matters. Accordingly, on February 15, 2024, Coeur Alaska and Maverix entered into a settlement agreement term sheet (“Settlement Term Sheet”) and the court granted their joint request to vacate the upcoming trial date and pretrial deadlines while the parties finalize definitive documentation of the settlement. Although the Settlement Term Sheet outlines key terms for dismissing the Maverix Litigation, definitive documentation has not yet been finalized. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the final terms of the settlement could result in a potential loss that the Company estimates to be between $1 million and $7 million. Mining Concession On November 20, 2023, Coeur Mexicana S.A. de C.V. signed a purchase agreement with a subsidiary of Fresnillo plc to acquire mining concessions adjacent to the Palmarejo mine. Total consideration includes a cash payment of approximately $ 25 million, with $ 10 million due at closing, an additional $ 10 million payable 12 months after closing, and an additional $ 5 million payable 24 months after closing. The concessions will be subject to an inflation-adjusted royalty payment of $ 25 per ounce for each new gold-equivalent ounce of resource discovered between 450,000 and two million gold equivalent ounces. Closing is subject to applicable regulatory approvals in Mexico. 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 December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had surety bonds totaling $ 324.8 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.
