MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"

Effective as of May 26, 2009, at 6:01 p.m. Eastern Time, Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (the “Company”) amended its Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation to: (i) reduce the par value of the Company’s common stock from $1.00 per share to $0.01 per share; and (ii) change the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 750,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"

On May 26, 2009, the Company effected the previously announced reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a split ratio of 1-for-10. In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company changed the total number of its authorized shares of common stock from 750,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares, which change effectively doubled the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"

The reverse stock split became effective at 6:01 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 26, 2009. As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued and outstanding as of market close on May 26, 2009 were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2009 (the “Proxy Statement”). The number of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) outstanding were also reduced by the 1-for-10 split ratio.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"

For additional information regarding the reverse stock split, stockholders and CDI holders should review the Company’s Proxy Statement and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on May 18, 2009, which summarized the Company’s plans for effecting the reverse stock split.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"

The Company issued a press release on May 27, 2009 announcing the completion of the reverse stock split, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
