Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On June 1, 2006, Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale of 100% of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coeur Silvery Valley (“CSV”), to U.S. Silver Corporation for a total of $15 million in cash. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides for a post-closing working capital adjustment that is expected to be finalized in July 2006. The Company expects that any resulting adjustment to the purchase price will not be material in amount. The Company anticipates that the transaction will result in a one-time pre-tax gain of approximately $12 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

        CSV owned and operated the Galena underground silver mine and owned the adjacent Coeur underground silver mine. In addition, CSV owned the Caladay Property that adjoins the Galena Mine and had operating control of several contiguous exploration properties in the Coeur d’Alene Silver Mining District of Idaho. CSV’s property consisted of 6,131 acres of Company-owned fee land, patented mining claims and unpatented claims in addition to 4,800 acres of leased claims.

        There is no material relationship, other than with respect to the transaction, between U.S. Silver Corporation and the Company or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Company or any associate of any such director or officer.

        Reference is made to Item 9.01(b) below for the pro forma financial information required pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b)     Pro Forma Financial Information:

        The following unaudited financial information reflects the pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 and the related pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 giving effect to the sale of Coeur Silver Valley, Inc. (“CSV”). The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 gives effect to the sale. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 assumes the sale occurred on March 31, 2006. The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company after giving effect to the sale and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the Company that would have actually occurred had the transaction been completed as of the date of, or as of the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates. The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
