In this exclusive interview, Trey Reik sits down with Mitch Krebs, CEO of Coeur Mining (NYSE: CDE), to discuss the company’s transformation, its new flagship mines, and the powerful forces driving the next silver bull market. Krebs explains how Coeur: Rebuilt itself from a struggling global miner into a North America–focused silver and gold powerhouse Completed a $730 million expansion at its Rochester Mine in Nevada, now the largest U.S. source of refined silver Seamlessly integrated SilverCrest’s Las Chispas mine, adding high-grade silver and gold production, and Strengthened its balance sheet from 4.5x leverage to near net cash, launching a $75M share buyback program in 2025.
