Orko Silver Corp. ("Orko") (TSX VENTURE:OK)(OTCBB:OKOFF)(FRANKFURT:OG3) and
Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation ("Coeur") (TSX:CDM)(NYSE:CDE) are pleased to
provide an update regarding the consideration to be received by Orko
shareholders pursuant to the previously announced plan of arrangement (the
"Arrangement") whereby Coeur will acquire all of the issued and outstanding
common shares of Orko (the "Orko Shares"). As previously announced, the
Arrangement was approved by Orko shareholders yesterday.


Orko and Coeur received an election report from Computershare Trust Company of
Canada setting out the number of common shares of Coeur (the "Coeur Shares"),
warrants to purchase Coeur Shares (the "Coeur Warrants") and/or cash
consideration that each Orko shareholder will be entitled to receive pursuant to
the Arrangement, after proration, as follows:




--  Orko shareholders who have elected or are deemed to have elected to
    receive the cash and share consideration will receive $0.70 cash, 0.0815
    of a Coeur Share and 0.01118 of a Coeur Warrant for each Orko Share
    held; 
--  Orko shareholders who have elected to receive the share consideration
    will receive 0.1118 of a Coeur Share and 0.01118 of a Coeur Warrant for
    each Orko Share held; and 
--  Orko shareholders who have elected to receive the cash consideration
    will receive $0.74 cash, 0.0797 of a Coeur Share and 0.01118 of a Coeur
    Warrant for each Orko Share held.



The cash consideration alternative was oversubscribed, and pursuant to the
proration methodology established under the Arrangement, Orko shareholders who
have elected to receive the cash consideration will receive the cash, Coeur
Shares and Coeur Warrants as described above.


Pursuant to the Arrangement, Orko shareholders will receive total cash
consideration of CAD$100 million, 11,572,918 Coeur Shares and 1,588,768 Coeur
Warrants. Following the completion of the Arrangement, the current Orko
shareholders will hold approximately 11% of the issued and outstanding Coeur
Shares (prior to the exercise of the Coeur Warrants). The Coeur Warrants will
trade under the symbol "CDE.WS" on the NYSE and "CDM.WT" on the TSX. Trading is
expected to commence on April 17, 2013 on both exchanges.


Orko will apply for a final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia
approving the Arrangement on Friday, April 12, 2013 and, assuming receipt of
court approval and the satisfaction or waiver of all remaining closing
conditions, Orko and Coeur expect the Arrangement to be effective on or about
April 16, 2013.

Arrangement can contact Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc. toll free in North
