<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">On September 10, 2017, Coeur Mining, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;Coeur&#8221;) entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the &#8220;Arrangement Agreement&#8221;) among the Company, 1132917 B.C. Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (&#8220;PurchaseCo&#8221;), JDS Silver Holdings, Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia (&#8220;JDS Silver&#8221;) and Silvertip Resources Investment LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (&#8220;Vendor&#8217;s Representative&#8221; and, together with the Company, PurchaseCo and JDS Silver, the &#8220;Parties&#8221;). The Arrangement Agreement provides for the implementation of a Plan of Arrangement (the &#8220;Plan of Arrangement&#8221;) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) which will be subject to approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of JDS Silver (the &#8220;JDS Shares&#8221;), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained therein.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, upon consummation of the acquisition, total initial consideration will be approximately $200 million, consisting of (i) payments by Coeur of approximately $146.5 million in cash (approximately $31 million of which will be used to retire JDS Silver&#8217;s senior secured debt) and approximately $38.5 million in Coeur common stock, and (ii) the assumption of approximately US$15 million in existing debt. Exact cash and stock consideration amounts are subject to final debt payoff amounts due at closing. Based on a ten day volume-weighted average Coeur stock price of $8.94 per share, the Company anticipates issuing approximately 4.3 million additional shares of common stock at closing. Additionally, contingent consideration of up to $50,000,000 may become payable upon the achievement of certain operational and technical metrics over various timeframes, as described more fully in the Arrangement Agreement.&#160; Any such contingent consideration will be paid&#160; in cash and&#160; in shares of Coeur common stock (valued at the volume-weighted average price of Coeur common stock for the ten trading days prior to the applicable payment date) as described more fully in the Arrangement Agreement.</div>

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Arrangement Agreement
On September 10, 2017, Coeur Mining, Inc. (the "Company" or "Coeur") entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") among the Company, 1132917 B.C. Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("PurchaseCo"), JDS Silver Holdings, Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia ("JDS Silver") and Silvertip Resources Investment LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Vendor's Representative" and, together with the Company, PurchaseCo and JDS Silver, the "Parties"). The Arrangement Agreement provides for the implementation of a Plan of Arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) which will be subject to approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of JDS Silver (the "JDS Shares"), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained therein.
Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, upon consummation of the acquisition, total initial consideration will be approximately $200 million, consisting of (i) payments by Coeur of approximately $146.5 million in cash (approximately $31 million of which will be used to retire JDS Silver's senior secured debt) and approximately $38.5 million in Coeur common stock, and (ii) the assumption of approximately US$15 million in existing debt. Exact cash and stock consideration amounts are subject to final debt payoff amounts due at closing. Based on a ten day volume-weighted average Coeur stock price of $8.94 per share, the Company anticipates issuing approximately 4.3 million additional shares of common stock at closing. Additionally, contingent consideration of up to $50,000,000 may become payable upon the achievement of certain operational and technical metrics over various timeframes, as described more fully in the Arrangement Agreement.  Any such contingent consideration will be paid  in cash and  in shares of Coeur common stock (valued at the volume-weighted average price of Coeur common stock for the ten trading days prior to the applicable payment date) as described more fully in the Arrangement Agreement.
The foregoing descriptions of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copy of the Arrangement Agreement, including the Plan of Arrangement attached as Schedule A thereto, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information provided in Item 1.01 is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
Item 3.02.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The Company anticipates that, if the Plan of Arrangement becomes effective under the terms and conditions described in the Arrangement Agreement, the issuance of shares of Coeur common stock to the holders of the JDS Shares upon the consummation of the Plan of Arrangement will be exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof.  Section 3(a)(10) exempts securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, after a public hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange. The information provided in Item 1.01 is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 11, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has entered into an Arrangement Agreement whereby the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of JDS Silver Holdings, Ltd. by way of a statutory Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference.
