On February 24, 2006, management of Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (“Company”) determined that a filing on Form 8-K should be made to disclose that as a result of the Company’s inadvertent under-reporting of the quantity of ore tons delivered to the Rochester Leach Pad for financial reporting purposes for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the quarter-ended inventory was understated, production costs applicable to sales were overstated and the net loss for the quarter was overstated by approximately $625,000. As a result of that adjustment, the net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 has been reduced from $1,770,000, or $0.01 per share, to $1,145,000, or $0.00 per share. Accordingly, the interim financial statements previously set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 should no longer be relied upon. Restated financial data for the quarter ended March 31,2005 will be included in the appropriate footnote to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, which is required to be filed by the Company with the Commission on or before March 16, 2006.
The Company’s management and audit committee discussed with its independent accountants, KPMG LLP, the matters disclosed in this filing.
