Gold and Silver Mining Stocks Surge Over 200% in a Year, Market Cap Increases by Over $1 Billion Today

Coeur Mining Inc. (NYSE: CDE) jumped 6.34% to close at $22.58 on the New York Stock Exchange on January 16. Trading volume reached about 14.54 million shares, and its market capitalization rose by roughly $980 million from the previous day to approximately $14.5 billion (about KRW 19 trillion and KRW 1.3 trillion, respectively).

On January 14, the company announced it will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after market close on February 18 and host a conference call on February 19. Over the past year, Coeur’s stock has rallied more than 200% amid its pursuit of Canadian gold miner New Gold, and increased call-option activity points to stronger bullish positioning in the derivatives market.

Headquartered in Chicago, Coeur Mining is a precious-metals producer focused on gold and silver. It operates five mines in North America—Las Chispas and Palmarejo in Mexico; Rochester in Nevada; Kensington in Alaska; and Wharf in South Dakota—and holds the Silver Tip exploration project.

Against a backdrop of high interest rates and economic-growth concerns, strong gold and silver prices combined with large-scale acquisitions and exploration investments have fueled Coeur’s expansion, making it one of the most leveraged plays among North American gold and silver miners.
