What Coeur Mining does
Coeur Mining, Inc. is a U.S.-based precious metals producer that operates seven wholly-owned mines across North America — in the United States (Rochester in Nevada, Wharf in South Dakota, Kensington in Alaska), Canada (New Afton in British Columbia, Rainy River in Ontario), and Mexico (Las Chispas and Palmarejo in Sonora and Chihuahua). The company produces doré bars, copper concentrate, and electrolytic cathodic sludge containing gold, silver, and copper, and sells these products via direct B2B channels to precious metals refiners, smelters, commodity exchanges, and streaming partners (notably Franco-Nevada at Palmarejo). Pricing is set entirely by global commodity markets, with Q1 2026 average realized prices of $4,383/oz gold, $82.85/oz silver, and $5.55/lb copper. Gold represented approximately 56-58% of Q1 2026 revenue ($475M), silver approximately 42% ($362M), and copper approximately 2% ($18.8M).
The company's underlying technology is rooted in conventional and emerging mining methods: open-pit heap leach silver-gold processing at Rochester (one of the world's largest at over 88,000 tons per day following a $730M expansion), block cave mining at New Afton's C-Zone (commercial production achieved ahead of schedule in October 2024), and conventional longhole underground methods across Palmarejo, Las Chispas, Kensington, and Rainy River (which is mid-transition from open-pit to underground). Coeur also holds the Silvertip polymetallic exploration project in British Columbia as a development-stage critical minerals asset.
Coeur's business model is commodity revenue generation, with revenue scaling directly with mine output and metal prices rather than contracted pricing. The company generated approximately $2.1B in FY2025 revenue, $856M in Q1 2026 (up 138% YoY), and guides to approximately $3B EBITDA and $2B free cash flow for full-year 2026 following the March 2026 acquisition of New Gold Inc. ($7B) and the February 2025 acquisition of SilverCrest Metals ($1.7B). Capital allocation has matured to include an inaugural $0.02 per share semi-annual dividend, a $750M share repurchase program, and a new $1B revolving credit facility, alongside continued organic and inorganic growth investment.

Coeur Mining competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Pan American Silver Corp. Major silver producer with diversified precious metals mining operations across the Americas. Directly comparable to Coeur's silver-led portfolio and Latin American footprint (Mexico, Peru, Bolivia).
- Agnico Eagle Mines Limited: Senior gold producer with significant operations in Canada and Mexico, making it one of the closest direct peers to Coeur's North American gold/silver footprint. Comparable mid-cap senior profile with strong free cash flow generation.
- Alamos Gold Inc. Mid-cap gold producer with operations in Mexico and Canada. Comparable scale and North American footprint, with similar multi-asset underground/open-pit mining approach to Coeur.
- Newmont Corporation: Largest gold mining company globally and a directly comparable North American-focused gold producer with diversified operations. Competes with Coeur for capital, M&A targets, and investor mindshare in the senior gold space.
- First Majestic Silver Corp. Primary silver mining company with Mexican operations, directly overlapping with Coeur's Las Chispas and Palmarejo. Smaller and more silver-pure-play but operates the same high-grade silver-gold underground model in Sonora/Chihuahua.
- Hecla Mining Company: Largest U.S.-based primary silver producer with significant silver and gold operations, directly comparable to Coeur's silver-heavy portfolio. Similar mid-cap senior precious metals profile and North American geographic focus.
- Kinross Gold Corporation: Mid-cap senior gold producer with operations primarily in the Americas, including significant West African assets. Similar market cap tier to Coeur and directly comparable business model of multi-asset gold/silver production.
Broad incumbents
- Barrick Gold Corporation: One of the world's largest gold producers with diversified global operations including North America. Larger and broader than Coeur but operates in the same gold/copper mining space with overlapping Canadian assets.
- Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Major copper and gold producer with significant North American operations. While copper-focused, Freeport's gold byproduct business and large-scale open-pit/underground mining approach overlap with Coeur's New Afton copper-gold operation.
Others
- Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. Precious metals streaming company that, like Franco-Nevada, provides upfront capital to miners in exchange for metal deliveries. Although Wheaton is a financing partner/competitor rather than a miner, it is a key counterparty in the same precious metals ecosystem Coeur operates in.
