| History of the Kensington Project |
|
In 2005, Coeur embarked on a drilling program to convert 300,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold currently reported as mineral resources to reserves, which would significantly increase the initial mine life from the current level of ten years. This involves additional in-fill drilling to delineate higher-grade sections of the deposit that might be mined in the earlier years of the operation.

|
The Kensington ore deposit consists of multiple precious metals bearing mesothermal, quartz, carbonate, pyrite vein swarms and discrete quartz-pyrite veins hosted in the Cretaceousaged Jualin diorite. The gold-telluride-mineral calaverite is associated with the pyrite mineralization.
