The
delay in filing the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation
(the “Company”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, is due to additional time
needed to review the Company’s income tax benefit associated with
the Company’s operations in Argentina.

The

ended June 30, 2005, will be approximately $38.3 million, as compared to $27.1 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Furthermore, it expects to report total costs and
expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 of approximately $40.2 million compared to
$32.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The Company expects to report a net
loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that is significantly less than the $5.4 million
net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The amount of the net loss for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005 could be materially affected by the amount of the income tax benefit
associated with the Company’s operations in Argentina.
