The company also adjusted its outlook for 2015:

Coeur is raising its 2015 total production guidance by approximately 2% to 33.1 – 35.9 million silver-equivalent ounces, consisting of 14.7 – 15.8 million silver ounces and 306,000 – 335,000 gold ounces. Coeur is also lowering its guidance for all-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent ounce¹ by approximately 3% to $17.00 – $18.00. The revised guidance is mainly due to stronger than planned production at lower than expected costs at Palmarejo and Kensington, partially offset by lower than expected production at San Bartolomé, which experienced a temporary cessation of mining activity in July due to political disruptions in Bolivia.
