      <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">SUPPLEMENT TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT RELATING TO</div>
      <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS</div>
      <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2022</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>On March 30, 2022, Coeur Mining, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) filed a definitive proxy statement (the &#8220;Proxy Statement&#8221;) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
        (&#8220;SEC&#8221;), which was distributed in connection with the Company&#8217;s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held via live audio webcast on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. Central Time. The Company is filing this supplement to the Proxy Statement
        solely to clarify certain information relating to the severance benefits provided to Terrence F. Smith, the Company&#8217;s former Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer. <font style="font-weight: bold;">The severance benefits provided to
          Mr. Smith were made in accordance with the standard treatment provided for under the applicable severance policy in connection with an involuntary termination, as detailed further below.</font></div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As the Company previously announced, Mr. Smith&#8217;s employment as Senior Vice President and Chief Development was involuntarily terminated by
        the Company, effective August 27, 2021. As disclosed in the Company&#8217;s proxy statement filed with the SEC and distributed in connection with the Company&#8217;s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the &#8220;2021 Proxy Statement&#8221;), Mr. Smith participated in
        the Company&#8217;s Officer Severance Policy (the &#8220;Severance Policy&#8221;). Mr. Smith&#8217;s termination by the Company qualified as an involuntary termination other than for cause under the Severance Policy. As a result, in accordance with the terms of the
        previously disclosed Severance Policy, Mr. Smith was entitled to (i) a lump sum equivalent to one times his base salary for the year in which the termination of employment occurs and (ii) continuation of health care benefits for Mr. Smith and his
        dependents for up to six months following the termination. Mr. Smith&#8217;s Separation and Release of Claims Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company&#8217;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 7, 2021, recites the fact that the
        Company maintains &#8220;an Officer Severance Policy under which Employee is entitled to certain severance benefits upon termination of employment in exchange for a full release of claims and other obligations.&#8221; As a result, in exchange for Mr. Smith&#8217;s
        agreement to customary post-termination restrictive covenants and a release of claims against the Company, Mr. Smith received cash severance in accordance with the terms of the Severance Policy.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The severance benefits provided to Mr. Smith are not discussed in the Proxy Statement because Mr. Smith did not qualify as one of the
        Company&#8217;s Named Executive Officers for 2021. However, Mr. Smith&#8217;s severance benefits are consistent with the disclosure provided in the 2021 Proxy Statement, which made clear that in connection an involuntary termination, Mr. Smith would be
        entitled to cash severance payments equal to $350,000 and continued payment of employee health care for six months. For additional information, please see &#8220;Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control&#8221; on page 85 of the 2021 Proxy
        Statement.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>This supplement to the Proxy Statement is being filed with the SEC and made available to the Company's stockholders on or about April 20, 2022. The Proxy
        Statement, as well as the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, are available at https://www.coeur.com/investors/overview/.</div>
