Current Context
Coeur Mining targets approximately 690,000 ounces of gold for fiscal 2026 [^] . The company reported record quarterly gold production of 163,490 ounces in Q2 2026. This represented a 51% year-over-year increase and a 69% quarter-over-quarter increase [^].
Strategic acquisitions bolster Coeur's production capacity and financial outlook. Coeur Mining completed an all-stock acquisition of New Gold Inc. on March 20, 2026, adding the New Afton and Rainy River mines in Canada to its portfolio [^][^][^]. Despite slightly slower-than-anticipated ramp-up rates at these new Canadian operations, the company projects record full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 billion and free cash flow of $1.5 billion [^][^].
Coeur's significant exploration investment aims to extend mine life. The company is executing its largest-ever exploration program in 2026, with a $158 million investment. This program focuses on mine life extension and resource replenishment [^].
2. Market Behavior & Price Dynamics
Historical Price (Probability)
Outcome probability
Date
This market's price action is defined by a single, sharp repricing event. The probability started at a floor of 1.0% before spiking 35 percentage points to 36.0% on August 13-14, 2026, where it has remained. This move establishes a new price level, suggesting the market has absorbed a significant piece of fundamental news and sees no immediate reason to adjust its assessment. The prior 1.0% level can be seen as the baseline probability before new information became available.
The price surge was a direct reaction to Coeur Mining's second-quarter 2026 results announcement. In that release, the company reported record quarterly gold production and, crucially, updated its full-year 2026 guidance to approximately 690,000 ounces. This figure from the company aligns with the high end of the market's resolution range. The market appears to have priced this new guidance in immediately and completely.
Overall market conviction appears low, as evidenced by total traded volume of only 20 contracts. The stability at 36.0% since the announcement indicates a new consensus, but the lack of subsequent trading volume suggests either low liquidity or that participants see the current price as fair value, with little new information expected in the near term. The current price reflects a market that has shifted from near-zero probability to assigning a roughly one-in-three chance of the outcome based on the company's official guidance.

6. What specific operational risks at the New Afton and Rainy River mines could cause Coeur Mining's FY2026 production to deviate from its ~690,000 ounce guidance?
| FY2026 Gold Production Guidance | Approximately 690,000 ounces [^][^][^] |
|---|---|
| Guidance Revision Date | August 2026 [^][^][^] |
| Rainy River Underground Mining Target | 5,000 tonnes per day [^][^][^][^] |
Coeur Mining's FY2026 production faces risks from key operational challenges. Coeur Mining's gold production for fiscal year 2026 could diverge from its approximately 690,000 ounce guidance due to operational challenges at its New Afton and Rainy River mines [^][^][^]. The company adjusted this guidance downward in August 2026, attributing the change to slower-than-anticipated ramp-up rates at these operations [^][^][^].
New Afton and Rainy River experience distinct ramp-up challenges. At New Afton, the primary operational risk involves a slower-than-expected ramp-up of the new C-Zone, where management is carefully managing cave draw to ensure long-term stability and effective cave propagation [^][^][^][^]. The Rainy River mine faces issues with a slower ramp-up of underground mining rates, stemming from legacy tactical execution gaps under the previous contractor, specifically concerning personnel and equipment availability [^][^][^][^]. The company is actively addressing these issues to achieve a target of 5,000 tonnes per day by year-end [^][^][^][^].
Broader factors, beyond ramp-up issues, could also impact production. Beyond these specific ramp-up issues, additional factors that could influence production or costs include potential diesel price inflation, the ongoing requirement for improvements to underground infrastructure at Rainy River, and typical mining risks such as geotechnical conditions and regulatory permitting [^][^].
7. How is the expected full-year 2026 gold production distributed between Coeur's legacy mines (e.g., Palmarejo, Rochester) and the newly acquired Canadian mines?
| Total Gold Production 2026 | Approximately 690,000 ounces [^][^][^] |
|---|---|
| Legacy Mines Gold Production 2026 | 390,000 to 460,000 ounces [^][^] |
| New Afton Revised Gold Production 2026 | 50,000 60,000 ounces [^][^][^] |
Coeur Mining anticipates its consolidated full-year 2026 gold production will be approximately 690,000 ounces [^] [^] [^] . A significant portion of this total is projected to come from the company's legacy operations, which include Las Chispas, Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington, and Wharf. These mines are expected to contribute between 390,000 and 460,000 ounces of gold in 2026 [^][^].
The two recently acquired Canadian mines saw revised production estimates for 2026. Initially, Rainy River and New Afton were guided to collectively produce 290,000 to 355,000 ounces of gold, prorated for a nine-month period [^][^][^]. However, the 2026 guidance for these Canadian assets was later revised downward in August 2026. This adjustment specifically impacted New Afton, whose expected contribution was reduced to 50,000-60,000 ounces [^][^][^].
8. What were the historical quarterly gold production figures for the New Afton and Rainy River mines prior to their acquisition by Coeur Mining in March 2026?
| Coeur Mining New Gold Acquisition Date | March 20, 2026 [^][^][^][^][^] |
|---|---|
| New Afton 2025 Gold Production | 63,021 ounces [^] |
| Rainy River 2025 Gold Production | 330,236 ounces [^] |
Coeur Mining finalized its acquisition of New Gold Inc. on March 20, 2026 [^][^][^][^][^]. The historical quarterly gold production figures for the New Afton mine, preceding this acquisition, are available for 2024 and 2025. In 2025, New Afton reported gold production of 17,987 ounces in the first quarter, 16,767 ounces in the second quarter, 14,912 ounces in the third quarter, and 13,355 ounces in the fourth quarter [^]. For 2024, the mine's production was 17,858 ounces in Q1, 18,100 ounces in Q2, 16,477 ounces in Q3, and 19,652 ounces in Q4 [^][^].
Rainy River mine experienced varied quarterly gold production over this period. In 2025, the mine produced 62,384 ounces of gold in Q1, 73,429 ounces in Q2, 100,000 ounces in Q3, and 94,423 ounces in Q4 [^]. During 2024, Rainy River's gold output was 53,040 ounces in the first quarter, 50,498 ounces in the second quarter, 61,370 ounces in the third quarter, and 60,786 ounces in the fourth quarter [^][^][^].
9. Based on Coeur's record Q2 2026 production, what quarterly run-rate is required in Q3 and Q4 2026 to meet the full-year guidance of ~690,000 ounces?
| Full-year 2026 Gold Guidance | ~690,000 ounces [^][^][^][^][^][^] |
|---|---|
| H1 2026 Gold Production | 259,993 ounces [^][^][^] |
| H2 2026 Gold Production Required | 430,007 ounces [^][^][^][^][^][^] |
Coeur Mining reported strong first-half 2026 gold production. Coeur Mining's full-year 2026 consolidated gold production guidance is approximately 690,000 ounces [^][^][^][^][^][^]. For the first half of 2026, the company reported 96,503 ounces in Q1 [^][^] and a record 163,490 ounces in Q2 [^][^][^][^]. This resulted in total first-half production of 259,993 ounces [^][^][^].
Achieving full-year guidance necessitates significant second-half output. To meet the full-year target, Coeur Mining must produce an additional 430,007 ounces in the second half of 2026 [^][^][^][^][^][^]. This translates to an average quarterly run-rate of approximately 215,003.5 ounces for both Q3 and Q4. Management has indicated expectations for stronger production during the second half of the year, with a further increase projected for Q4 compared to Q3 [^][^][^][^][^][^][^].
10. Could Coeur Mining's $158 million exploration program create any operational trade-offs at existing sites that might affect production targets within fiscal year 2026?
| 2026 Exploration Program Budget | $158 million (in 2026) [^][^][^] |
|---|---|
| 2026 Gold Production Guidance | 680,000 to 815,000 ounces [^][^][^][^] |
