Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or
Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On
November 10, 2008, Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (“Coeur”) received
notice from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the shares of common stock
of Coeur, which are listed on the NYSE, had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing
standard relating to minimum share price, as set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE
Listed Company Manual. Under that provision, a company’s securities are considered to
be below such NYSE compliance standard if the average closing price of the security is
less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. Coeur intends to cure its
failure to meet such continued listing standard in accordance with that NYSE listing rule.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On
November 14, 2008, Coeur distributed to its employees a letter discussing the NYSE notice
referenced above and other strategic and operational matters. A copy of the letter, which
includes a copy of the press release issued by Coeur on November 13, 2008 related to such
NYSE notice, is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.
Item 9.01 Financial
Statements and Exhibits.
