1:52 am Cadiz reports concludes capacity in the Colorado River aqueduct for Conveying Cadiz Project Water is reliably available (CDZI) : Stratecon released a study examining the availability of wheeling capacity on the Colorado River Aqueduct for water from the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery and Storage Project. The study was sponsored by Cadiz (CDZI) who requested that Stratecon evaluate the probability that the Colorado River Aqueduct will have space available to convey water for beneficial use by the Santa Margarita Water District and others within the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California over the 50 year initial term of the Cadiz Project. The study posted today to the Stratecon website concludes that the probability of CRA capacity is highly likely in nearly every year of Project operations.

• After taking into account the variability and complexity of uses of Metropolitan's CRA, Stratecon further finds that any concern about the availability of CRA wheeling capacity for the Cadiz Project is misplaced. 
• The risk is not material. Over the entire term of a 50-year agreement, there may not be space available to convey the water in extremely wet years, when Project Participants can otherwise store the water. 
• Moreover, the Cadiz Project's operational flexibility to engage in make-up deliveries within the initial term enables the project's cumulative deliveries to reach 2.5 million AF.

1:34 am Coeur d'Alene Mines increases in liquidity and near-term free cash flow through $100 mln Senior Secured Financing and Enhancements (CDE) : Co announced it entered into an agreement for a new $100 million, five-year, senior secured term loan. Reflecting the net proceeds from this financing and simultaneous repayment of the existing $50 million bridge loan due March 2016, the Company's pro forma cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of March 31, 2015 total $225 million.

• To further bolster liquidity, the Company has significantly enhanced Rochester's 2016 operating plans and believes the existing leach pad has sufficient capacity to allow for the deferral of construction of the Stage V leach pad from 2016 to 2017 without materially affecting the mine's long-term production schedules or unit costs, as summarized below:
• Stage V heap leach pad construction initially scheduled for 2016 has been deferred until 2017, postponing an estimated $26 million of the related capital expenditures
• Overall expected capital spending for the Stage V heap leach pad has been reduced by $17 million by using existing conveyor and load-out equipment
• Higher grade tons originally expected to be mined in 2017 have been re-sequenced into 2016 to boost near-term production and cash flow

The net result of these enhancements is an ~$80 million increase in Coeur's 2016 expected free cash flow offset by an estimated $70 million decrease in expected free cash flow in 2017. The charts below detail the Company's revised three-year outlook for total production, costs, Adjusted EBITDA, and cash flow based on an assumed silver price of $17.50 per ounce and gold price of $1,225 per ounce, which were the metal prices reflected in the prior three-year outlook provided in February 2015.

This decision will not affect other services provided by the Company in these states.

• As of March 31, 2015, Civitas was serving approximately 4,800 children and adolescents through its ARY services in the states of Florida, Louisiana, Indiana, North Carolina and Texas, including nearly 1,000 in foster care programs. 
• Revenues derived from the provision of ARY services in these five states for the 12 months ended March 31, 2015 were approximately $52.7 million, and their collective EBITDA contribution during the same period was approximately $2.4 million. 
• This EBITDA impact does not include potential overhead rationalization which the Company is currently considering as a result of the smaller ARY platform.
