COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO, August 8 /CNW/ - Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation
(NYSE:CDE) (TSX:CDM) today reported quarterly net income of $11.9 million, or
$0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007, compared to net
income of $32.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share for the second quarter of
2006. The second quarter of 2006 included the one-time gain of $11.2 million
from the Company's sale of its Coeur Silver Valley (CSV) property, and income
of $1.4 million from CSV operations.

The Company also reported mid-year results from its 2007 exploration
program, which resulted in significantly expanded mineral reserves levels at
its Cerro Bayo and Martha mines, where several new veins were discovered.
These increases, coupled with the previously announced increase to mineral
reserves and resources at the Company's large San Bartolome silver project
demonstrate the significant growth potential of Coeur's South American
properties.

For the first six months of 2007, the Company reported net income of
$25.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $47.0
million, or $0.16 per share, for the same period in 2006. Excluding the
one-time gain mentioned above and $2.0 million of income from discontinued
operations, the Company's net income for the first six months of 2006 was
$33.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

Metal sales from continuing operations for the first six months of 2007
were $102.5 million, compared to $98.9 million in the year-ago period. Metal
sales from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2007 were $51.7
million compared to $54.0 million in the year-ago quarter.

In commenting on the Company's performance, Dennis E. Wheeler, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with the
performance of our operating properties in the second quarter as the
operational results were consistent overall with the second quarter of 2006.
Operating cash flow for the second quarter was $11.5 million while metals
prices for both silver and gold remain strong and at levels that enable the
Company to generate healthy earnings and cash flows."

"We are also very pleased to report significant reserve increases at both
Cerro Bayo and Martha yielding from Coeur's strategic decision to invest a
record $15.7 million in exploration this year," Mr. Wheeler continued. "This
increased investment in exploration confirms a meaningful evolution in the
entire Coeur Chilean and Argentinean exploration programs, building on years
of geological information about new targets that are leading to discoveries.
As this aggressive program continues, we are confident of achieving additional
gains in mineral reserves to further extend the mine lives of these two
important young mines, with a focus on finding new ore deposits to develop
into new mines. The exploration success seen at Martha will have direct
benefit to the standalone mill facility currently under construction and which
is expected to be completed by the end of the year," Wheeler added.

Bolnisi Gold and Palmarejo Silver and Gold Transaction

"Finally, the next step in Coeur's global growth continued to move
forward with progress with the acquisitions of Bolnisi Gold NL and Palmarejo
Silver and Gold Corporation, which are expected to close in the fourth
quarter. We believe this transaction will establish Coeur as the clear leader
in the silver mining industry with the addition of the world-class Palmarejo
silver and gold project located in northern Mexico. This transaction, combined
with the Company's internal growth initiatives, represents an aggressive
growth strategy designed to generate value for shareholders by dramatically
increasing production and resources, decreasing companywide cash costs, and
introducing long-life assets to Coeur's portfolio," Wheeler concluded.

During the second quarter, Coeur, Bolnisi Gold NL, and Palmarejo Silver
and Gold Corporation announced that Coeur has completed its due diligence
under the terms of the Merger Implementation Agreement with Bolnisi and that
the companies expect to complete the transaction in the fourth quarter of
2007.

A Project Development Committee was formed, including Coeur personnel
Stuart Mathews as Interim General Manager, Mark Moseley Williams as Interim
Project Manager, and Ed Galindo as Interim Construction Manager.

While the initial focus will be to develop the Rosario deposit at
Palmarejo using open pit mining methods, the Project Development Committee
will also focus on a combined open-pit and underground mine development
scenario.

Exploration and Reserve Increases

During the second quarter, Coeur's record $15.7 million 2007 exploration
program made significant progress on all fronts, with expanded reserve levels
at both Cerro Bayo and Martha. The reserve expansion represents further
development and confirmation of the multi-year exploration programs in Chile
and Argentina, which have led to new productive discoveries and resources.

-- Cerro Bayo contained proven and probable mineral reserves increased
to 9.3 million contained silver ounces and 157,000 gold ounces at mid-year.
Taking into account first half 2007 mine production, this represents a 64%
increase in silver ounces and 46% increase in gold ounces from year-end 2006
reserve levels. In the expanded exploration program, three new vein systems,
Dagny, Fabiola, and Coyita, were identified during the second quarter. These
veins occur less than one kilometer east of the Cerro Bayo mill facility. At
quarter's end, a total of five holes were completed on Dagny, all of which
encountered ore-grade silver and gold. Further drilling is continuing in the
area, with anticipated potential for other new vein discoveries.

-- At the high-grade Martha mine, where the Company is constructing a
new mill facility, contained proven and probable mineral reserves increased to
7.6 million contained silver ounces and 10,500 gold ounces at mid-year. Taking
account of first half 2007 mine production, this represents a 49% increase in
silver ounces and a 43% increase in gold ounces relative to year-end 2006
levels. The focus of this year's drilling has been on the existing R4 and Del
Medio systems, which includes the Francisca and Catalina vein systems, as well
as drilling on new vein targets.

-- At the Rochester mine, which has produced over 119 million silver
ounces for Coeur since inception in 1986, the Company commenced a new
exploration effort. This program is designed to identify all opportunities for
new ore that may be conducive for processing in the current crushing and
leaching facilities and to test new targets for their potential to host
high-grade silver and gold deposits. Commencing in June, this work has already
identified targets for drill testing later this year.

2Q Production Highlights by Individual Property

-- Rochester (Nevada) - Silver production was slightly higher than the
previous year's second quarter, with a resulting decrease in cash costs to
$2.54 per ounce, compared to $2.61 per ounce in the year-earlier period. Cash
costs per ounce declined 48% from the first quarter of this year, which is a
trend the Company expects to continue during the second half of the year. Gold
production was lower in the recent quarter compared to a year ago, as
anticipated in the heap model.

-- Cerro Bayo (Chile) - Silver production was significantly lower and
gold production was higher as compared to the second quarter of 2006. Silver
production was down as a consequence of conditions experienced during the
Company's transition into wider mineralized zones which are more amenable to
mechanized mining methods: a process that commenced late in the second quarter
of 2007. Both silver and gold production levels are expected to increase for
the remainder of the year, with lowering cash costs.

-- Martha (Argentina) - Silver and gold production were above the levels
of the year-ago quarter - and sharply above the levels of the first quarter of
2007 - due to the mining of higher grade ores and an increase in tons mined.
Silver and gold production was up nearly 30% both from the previous quarter
and from the second quarter last year. Silver cash costs were just $0.04 per
ounce higher in the recent quarter from the year-ago period, due to higher
labor costs and taxes, including increased royalties resulting from higher
realized metals prices in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the first
quarter of 2006.

Construction continued on the new $13.9 million mill facility which is
expected to be operational by the end of the year. The mill will support the
company's ongoing success in expanding the reserve and resource base at
Martha.

-- Endeavor (Australia) -- Silver production increased by 54% from the
second quarter of last year, with cash costs modestly higher at $2.91 per
ounce due to higher smelting and refining charges. The mine continues to show
production improvement since last fall. Production levels are expected to
continue to show improvement as mine development accelerates into the fourth
quarter of 2007, with the expectation of sustaining those levels.

-- Broken Hill (Australia) - Silver production was 476,494 ounces, which
was 57% higher than the first quarter 2007, with cash costs of $3.20 per
ounce, which was consistent with this year's first quarter period.

The Company said it expects full year 2007 production from existing
operations of approximately 12 million ounces of silver. The Company expects
to produce 121,000 ounces of gold, which gives effect to the startup of the
Kensington project subsequent to 2007. Average cash operating cost are
expected to be $2.39 per ounce of silver.

Balance Sheet and Capital Investment Highlights

The Company had $272.5 million in cash and short term investments as of
June 30, 2007. Capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2007 totaled
$57.7 million, most of which was spent on the Kensington (Alaska) gold project
and the San Bartolome (Bolivia) silver project. The Company has sufficient
liquidity to complete the San Bartolome, Kensington and Palmarejo projects.

Update on San Bartolome (Bolivia) Silver Project

Construction continues on schedule and on budget at San Bartolome. The
more than 950 construction workers on the project have surpassed a total of
1.3 million man-hours without a lost time accident. Commercial production is
expected to commence in February 2008, with approximately 9 million ounces
forecast to be produced during the first full year of production, after the
plant is fully commissioned.

During the first six months of 2007, construction work activity has
increased in all project areas including the process plant and tailings
facility. Current work includes concrete foundation work in the crusher,
stockpile and mill areas, tank installation in the leach and Counter Current
Decantation thickener areas and continued work at the tailings facility. All
major contracts for the project have been awarded. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007, Coeur spent approximately $27.7 million on San Bartolome and
plans to incur additional engineering, procurement and construction costs of
approximately $120.7 million in 2007.

The Company is pleased to report that Mike Clarke joined Coeur South
America as Vice President of Special Projects in July. Mr. Clarke has over 33
years of operating experience in the mining industry, including mining
projects in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Peru, Cuba, and Chile and most recently
in Bolivia. Clarke will initially be responsible for the startup and
commissioning of San Bartolome.

Update on Kensington (Alaska) Gold Project

At Kensington, capital expenditures in the first six months of 2007
totaled $58.6 million. On July 10, workers achieved breakthrough and completed
the nearly two-and-a-half mile tunnel between the Kensington and the Jualin
property, where the mill and processing facilities are located. Contractors
from Kake Tribal/Redpath Native Corporation joint venture, along with Coeur
Alaska, completed the final 6,800 feet of tunneling over the past year. In
addition, the processing facility and mill are expected to be completed during
August. The Company is continuing to review its options, including engaging in
discussions with the plaintiffs, to resolve the Kensington litigation to
enable the mine to proceed to production.

Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation is one of the world's leading primary
silver producers and has a strong presence in gold. The company has mining
interests in Alaska, Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Chile, and Nevada.

(A) The leach cycle at Rochester requires an extended period to
recover gold and silver contained in the ore. The Company estimates
the ultimate recovery to be approximately 61.5% for silver and 93%
for gold. However, ultimate recoveries will not be known until
leaching operations cease which is currently estimated for 2011.
Current recovery may vary significantly from ultimate recovery.

"Cash Costs per Ounce" are calculated by dividing the cash costs computed
for each of the Company's mining properties for a specified period by the
amount of gold ounces or silver ounces produced by that property during that
same period. Management uses cash costs per ounce as a key indicator of the
profitability of each of its mining properties. Gold and silver are sold and
priced in the world financial markets on a US dollar per ounce basis.

"Cash Costs" are costs directly related to the physical activities of
producing silver and gold, and include mining, processing and other plant
costs, third-party refining and smelting costs, marketing expense, on-site
general and administrative costs, royalties, in-mine drilling expenditures
that are related to production and other direct costs. Sales of by-product
metals are deducted from the above in computing cash costs. Cash costs exclude
depreciation, depletion and amortization, corporate general and administrative
expense, exploration, interest, and pre-feasibility costs and accruals for
mine reclamation. Cash costs are calculated and presented using the "Gold
Institute Production Cost Standard" applied consistently for all periods
presented.

Total cash costs per ounce is a non-GAAP measurement and investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on it and are urged to read all GAAP
accounting disclosures presented in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying footnotes. In addition, see the reconciliation of "cash costs" to
production costs under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Cash Costs to GAAP
Production Costs" set forth below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Cash Costs to GAAP Production Costs

The tables below present reconciliations between Non-GAAP cash costs per
ounce to production costs applicable to sales including depreciation,
depletion and amortization (GAAP).

Total cash costs include all direct and indirect operating cash costs
related directly to the physical activities of producing metals, including
mining, processing and other plant costs, third-party refining and marketing
expense, on-site general and administrative costs, royalties and mining
production taxes, net of by-product revenues earned from all metals other than
the primary metal produced at each unit. Total cash costs are a performance
measure and provide management and investors an indication of net cash flow,
after consideration of the realized price received for production sold.
Management also uses this measurement for the comparative monitoring of
performance of our mining operations period-to-period from a cash flow
perspective. "Total cash cost per ounce" is a measure developed by precious
metals companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard, however, there
can be no assurance that our reporting of this non-GAAP measure is similar to
that reported by other mining companies.

Production costs applicable to sales including depreciation, depletion
and amortization, is the most comparable financial measure calculated in
accordance with GAAP to total cash costs. The sum of the production costs
applicable to sales and depreciation, depletion and amortization for our mines
as set forth in the tables below is included in our Consolidated Statement of
Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
