What Coeur Mining, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
Coeur Mining's results turn on metals prices it can't control. As a gold and silver producer, its revenue moves directly with those metals — a 10% change in realized gold prices alone would shift revenue by about $5.8 million, on top of mark-to-market swings on provisionally priced sales. It also depends on third-party refiners and smelters to process and market its concentrate and doré, so losing access to one or a refiner's insolvency would disrupt sales; and its U.S. mining waste is partly exempt from RCRA hazardous-waste rules — an exemption whose repeal would force significant spending to manage and store that waste.
3 self-disclosed vulnerabilities, pulled from its own filings, each in the company’s words, with the source. This is the risk register almost nobody reads.
In its own words
What could break it.
Commodity & input dependence
- gold/silver price exposuremedium
As a gold/silver producer, Coeur's revenue is directly exposed to metals prices; a 10% change in realized gold prices alone would move revenue by ~$5.8M, with additional provisional-pricing mark-to-market swings.
“A 10% change in realized gold prices would cause revenue to vary by $5.8 million.”
Customer concentration
- third-party refiners/smelters that buy Coeur's productionmedium
Coeur depends on third-party refiners and smelters to market and process its production; loss of access to, or insolvency of, any such refiner/smelter would disrupt sales of its concentrate and doré.
“the loss of access or insolvency of any third-party refiner or smelter to whom Coeur markets its production”

Regulatory & policy
- RCRA hazardous-waste exemption repeal riskmedium
Coeur's U.S. mining waste is currently partly exempt from RCRA hazardous-waste rules; if the EPA repealed the exemption, Coeur would face significant expenditures to manage waste and build hazardous-waste storage/disposal facilities.
“If the EPA were to repeal this exemption and designate these mining wastes as hazardous under RCRA, we would be required to make significant expenditures to manage the waste and to construct hazardous waste storage or disposal facilities.”
