Pre-Market Stocks Highlights: Coeur Mining (NYSE:CDE), Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ:SAVE), Prima Biomed (NASDAQ:PBMD), Ares Capital (NASDAQ:ARCC)

On Tuesday, Coeur Mining Inc (NYSE:CDE)’s shares declined -0.52% to $5.79.

Coeur Mining Inc (CDE) declared proven and probable reserves at the recently-attained Wharf gold mine in South Dakota of about 781,000 gold ounces. This represents a 39% enhance from the last stated reserve estimate at Wharf by Goldcorp from year-end 2013 of 560,000 ounces. The addition of these new reserves at Wharf results in a 35% enhance in Coeur’s total gold reserves to 3.0 million ounces.

Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Given the importance of Wharf to our Company, we felt it was necessary to take the time to complete a more informed resource model based on pre-existing data to improve our mine planning and ability to execute according to plan. We were optimistic that this effort would result in additional reserves based on the mine’s history of positive reconciliations between the reserve model and production. The results have surpassed our expectations by adding three years of predictable mine life, making Wharf a key producing asset for Coeur for at least the next decade. We are optimistic that exploration efforts now underway around the existing open pit will further add to Wharf’s reserves.”
