    AGREEMENT

     

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties and
      subject to the conditions contained herein, Orion and Coeur hereby agree as follows:

     

    1.           Share Exchange.  Subject to the satisfaction of
        the terms and conditions set forth herein, Coeur agrees to issue to Orion the Acquired Coeur Shares in exchange for the transfer of the Transferred Victoria Shares.

     

    2.           Closing.  The closing (the “Closing”) of
        the exchange of the shares contemplated hereby shall take place on the business day following the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 3, or on such other date as the parties mutually agree in

      this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution, delivery and performance by Coeur of this Agreement and the consummation by Coeur of the transactions contemplated hereby
      have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Coeur and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by Orion, constitutes a legal, valid and
      binding obligation of Coeur, enforceable against Coeur in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general
      application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the “Bankruptcy
        and Equity Exception”).

     

    c)           No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.  The
        execution, delivery and performance by Coeur of this Agreement and the consummation by Coeur of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended or Amended and Restated Bylaws of Coeur; (ii) violate any Applicable Laws; (iii) conflict with, create a breach or default under, require any consent of or notice
        to, or give to any third party any right of modification, acceleration or cancellation, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property or right of Coeur pursuant to, any contract or agreement to
        which Coeur is a party, except for any such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults, or other occurrences, or where the failure to obtain or make such consents, approvals, registrations or filings, would not prevent, materially delay or
        materially impede the performance by Coeur of its obligations under this Agreement or that arise as a result of any facts or circumstances relating to Orion or any of its Affiliates.  The execution, delivery and performance by Coeur of this
        Agreement and the consummation by Coeur of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority, except for (a) filings with the SEC under

        obtained or (y) where the failure to obtain any such consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Coeur.

     

    d)           Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of
        Coeur consists of (i) 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Coeur Common Stock”) and (ii) 10,000,000 preferred shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Coeur
          Preferred Stock”).  As of the close of business on May 7, 2021, 243,430,457 shares of Coeur Common Stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of Coeur Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.  All of the outstanding shares of Coeur
        Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.

        Stock is listed and posted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange and no order prohibiting the sale or issuance of the Acquired Coeur Shares in accordance with this Agreement has been issued.  Since January 1, 2021, Coeur has not taken any
        action which would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Coeur Common Stock on or from the New York Stock Exchange and Coeur is currently in compliance in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the
        New York Stock Exchange.

     

    f)           Issuance of Acquired Coeur Shares.  Coeur has
        the full power and authority to issue the Acquired Coeur Shares.  The issuance of the Acquired Coeur Shares has been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered against delivery of the Transferred Victoria Shares as set forth herein, the
        Acquired Coeur Shares will be validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares of Coeur Common Stock.  At the Closing, Coeur will deliver to Orion the Acquired Coeur Shares free and clear of all Liens, other than as may be imposed as a result
        of the application of any Applicable Laws or as are imposed as a result of any actions taken by, or transactions entered into by Orion.

     

    g)           Public Disclosure.  Since January 1, 2021, as of
        their respective filing dates, each of the documents filed or furnished by or on behalf of Coeur with the SEC pursuant to applicable securities Laws (the “Public Disclosure Documents”) complied with the requirements of applicable securities
        Laws in all material respects and none of the Public Disclosure Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light
        of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.  Coeur has not filed any confidential report with any Governmental Authority which at the date hereof remains confidential.

        conducted its own due diligence and analysis with respect to Victoria, for its own account and purposes, and (3) can bear the economic risk of (i) an investment in the Transferred Victoria Shares indefinitely and (ii) a total loss in respect of
        such investment.  Coeur has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to enable it to understand and evaluate the risks of, and form an investment decision with respect to its investment in, the Transferred Victoria
        Shares.  Coeur acknowledges the Transferred Victoria Shares will be subject to a restricted period as such term is defined in National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities (“NI 45-102”) and will not trade the Transferred Victoria Shares
        other than in compliance with NI 45-102.

        with this Agreement or the Support Agreement, neither Coeur nor any other Person makes or has made any express or implied representation or warranty Orion or its Representatives with respect to (a) any financial projection, forecast, estimate,
        budget or prospect information relating to Coeur, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or (b) any oral or written information presented to Orion or its Representatives in the course of its due diligence investigation of Coeur, the

          Forecasts, Forward-Looking Statements and Business Plans.  In connection with the due diligence investigation of Coeur by Orion and its respective Representatives, Orion and its respective Representatives may receive from Coeur and its
        Representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, in each case containing forward-looking information, regarding Coeur and its Subsidiaries and their
        respective businesses and operations.  Orion hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans to the
        extent each of them contain forward-looking information, with which Orion is familiar, that Orion is making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of such forward-looking information so furnished to Orion (including the reasonableness of
        the assumptions underlying such forward-looking information), and that except for the representations and warranties made by Coeur in Section 4, Orion will have no claim against Coeur or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
        Representatives, with respect thereto.

        (financial or otherwise) or prospects, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Coeur or its Representatives of any documentation, forecasts or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing, and Coeur acknowledges the
        foregoing.  In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the representations and warranties made by Orion in this Section 5, the Support Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection

        or its Representatives in the course of its due diligence investigation of Orion, the negotiation of this Agreement or the course of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    6.           Legend.  All Acquired Coeur Shares will, at
      the time of issuance, bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

     

    THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE
      AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS, OR WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
      LAWS.

     

    Coeur shall cause the legend described above to be removed and Acquired Coeur Shares to be issued to Orion by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The
      Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) reasonably promptly following earliest time that either (i) such Acquired Coeur Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act and sold pursuant to such registration, (ii) in connection with a sale,
      assignment or other transfer, Orion provides Coeur with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to Coeur, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Acquired Coeur Shares has been made without registration under the
      applicable requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in the acquiror receiving unrestricted securities, or (iii) the Acquired Coeur Shares have been sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, and provided, that
      (1) in each case, Orion provides Coeur with an undertaking to effect any sales or other transfers in accordance with the Securities Act and (2) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii), upon Coeur and Orion providing Coeur’s transfer agent with such
      certifications as reasonably requested by the transfer agent, which Coeur and Orion undertake to provide.  Coeur shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

    7.           Registration Rights.

     

    	

          	a.	
            Coeur agrees that, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), Coeur will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Coeur
              Shares (the “Registration Statement”).  Coeur shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become automatically effective or, if an automatic registration is not available to Coeur, to cause the
              Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof; provided, that Coeur’s obligations to include the Acquired Coeur Shares for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon
              Orion furnishing in writing to Coeur such information regarding Orion, the securities of Coeur held by Orion and the intended method of disposition of such Acquired Coeur Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as
              shall be reasonably requested by Coeur to effect the registration of such Acquired Coeur Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Coeur may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder
              in similar situations; provided, that Orion shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the
              Acquired Coeur Shares.  Any failure by Coeur to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement shall not otherwise relieve Coeur of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement
              as set forth above in this Section 7.  Coeur will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Orion for review at least two business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement.  In no event shall Orion be identified as a
              statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless specifically requested by the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, that if the SEC or another regulatory agency requests that Orion be identified as a statutory
              underwriter in the Registration Statement, Orion will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon prompt written request to Coeur.  For the avoidance of doubt, any references in this Section 7 to Orion shall include
              Orion’s permitted assignee(s) from and after any such assignment.

          

     

    	

          	b.	
            In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by Coeur pursuant to this Agreement, Coeur shall, upon reasonable request, inform Orion as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and
              compliance.  At its expense, Coeur shall:

          

    

    

    
      8

      
        

    

    
    	

          	i.	
            except for such times as Coeur is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or
              compliance under state securities laws which Coeur determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Orion, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material
              misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of the following: (i) the third anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which Orion ceases to hold any Acquired Coeur Shares or (iii) on the first date on which Orion is able to sell all of
              its Acquired Coeur Shares under Rule 144 without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for Coeur to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144.

          

     

    	

          	ii.	
            advise Orion within three business days:

          

     

    	

          	1.	
            when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

          

     

    	

          	2.	
            of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

          

     

    	

          	3.	
            after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

          

     

    	

          	4.	
            of the receipt by Coeur of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Coeur Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;
              and

          

     

    	

          	5.	
            subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not
              misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

          

     

    

    
      9

      
        

    

    	

          	c.	
            For not more than 45 consecutive days or for a total of not more than 90 days in any 12 month period, Coeur may suspend the use of any Registration Statement or related prospectus contemplated by this Section 7 in the event that Coeur
              determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (i) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning Coeur, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of Coeur and upon the advice of
              legal counsel, in the best interests of Coeur or (ii) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact
              or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided,
              that Coeur shall promptly (and no later than one business day after the occurrence of the event causing the Allowed Delay) (A) notify Orion in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent
              of an Orion) disclose to such Orion any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (B) advise Orion in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay, and (C) use
              commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as reasonably practicable.

          

     

    	

          	d.	
            Coeur shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Orion (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, trustees, agents, partners, members, managers,
              stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each of them, each person who controls Orion (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and
              employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses
              (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any
              form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
              statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as and to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
              untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Orion furnished in writing to Coeur by or on behalf of Orion expressly for use therein.  Coeur shall notify Orion
              promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which Coeur is aware.

          

     

    

    
      10

      
        

    

    	

          	e.	
            Orion shall indemnify and hold harmless Coeur, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls Coeur (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors,
              officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
              contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any
              omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under
              which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding Orion furnished in writing to Coeur by or on behalf of Orion expressly for use
              therein.  In no event shall the liability of Orion under this Section 7(e) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Orion upon the sale of the Acquired Coeur Shares giving rise to such indemnification
              obligation.  Orion shall notify Coeur promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7(e) of which Orion is aware.

          

     

    	

          	f.	
            Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, that the failure to give prompt notice
              shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of
              interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  If such
              defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  An
              indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such
              indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect
              to such claim.  No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all
              respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified
              party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

          

     

    

    
      11

      
        

    

    	

          	g.	
            The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling
              person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Coeur Shares.

          

     

    	

          	h.	
            If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein,
              then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is
              appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by
              reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by
              or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.  The amount paid or
              payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such
              party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(h) from any
              person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Any contribution pursuant to this Section 7(h) shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds from the sale of such Acquired Coeur Shares giving rise to such
              contribution obligation.

          

     

    
      12

      
        

    

    8.           Trading Limitation.  Orion agrees that it shall
        not, in any week, sell through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, a number of Acquired Coeur Shares that exceeds a number equal to 10% of the average weekly reported trading volume of Coeur Common Stock as determined pursuant to Rule
        144 (e)(1)(ii) (calculated using the trading days in the four calendar weeks preceding the week of sale).  For greater certainty, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any private sale of the Acquired Coeur Shares.  Orion and Coeur shall
        reasonably cooperate in the event of any potential private sale of the Acquired Coeur Shares by Orion; provided, that Coeur shall not be required to provide any comfort letters or opinions of counsel (including any disclosure or 10b-5
        letter), other than legal opinions in connection with the removal of the legend set forth in Section 6 above.

     

    9.           Spread.  Capitalized terms used and not defined
        in this Section 9 shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Support Agreement.  If, before the date of Termination of the Support Agreement (the “Termination Date”), definitive documents between Coeur
        and Victoria (such as an arrangement agreement) (“Definitive Documents”) have been executed with respect to a Transaction that provides for consideration at the closing of such Transaction for each Victoria Common Share having a value (and
        if such consideration includes Coeur Common Stock, such Coeur Common Stock will be valued using the volume weighted average price of the Coeur Common Stock for the thirty trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the announcement
        of the Transaction, as obtained from Bloomberg L.P. as displayed on Bloomberg page “CDE<EQUITY>AQR”) exceeding $13.20 (Canadian dollars) per Victoria Common Share (such excess amount multiplied by the number of Transferred Victoria Shares,
        the “Spread”) and no subsequent Termination Date occurs, then at the closing of such Transaction, Coeur shall pay to Orion, in the same form of consideration provided in the Transaction, an amount equal to 75% of the Spread; provided,
        that, in no event shall the Total Consideration Coeur Shares exceed 19.9% of the shares of Coeur Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof, unless approved by the holders of Coeur Common Stock in accordance with Applicable Law (the “Share
          Issuance Limit”).  If the Total Consideration Coeur Shares would have otherwise exceeded the Share Issuance Limit and the necessary shareholder approval is not obtained, then, without duplication of shares, Coeur shall issue shares of Coeur
        Common Stock to Orion and its Affiliates up to the Share Issuance Limit and pay cash to Orion in lieu of issuing shares of Coeur Common Stock in excess of the Share Issuance Limit.  The cash amount payable by Coeur shall equal the market value of
        Coeur Common Stock as of the trading day prior to the closing of the Transaction multiplied by the number of shares of Coeur Common Stock that would have been issued to Orion and its Affiliates in the Transaction in excess of the Share Issuance
        Limit.  For greater certainty, Coeur’s obligation to pay 75% of the Spread shall not survive termination of the Support Agreement if Definitive Documents are executed after the Termination Date.

     

    10.         Voting Transferred Victoria Shares.  Orion agrees
        that with respect to the annual and special general meeting of Victoria currently scheduled for June 23, 2021 (and any amendment or adjournment thereto), Orion shall vote the Transferred Victoria Shares as directed by Coeur; provided, that
        with respect to any matters relating to the appointment or removal of a director or the appointment of auditors, Orion shall vote the Transferred Victoria Shares in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors of Victoria.

    11.         Public Disclosure.  The parties shall reasonably
        consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the parties shall issue any press release or make any public
        statement prior to obtaining the other parties’ written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that no such approval shall be necessary in connection with a party’s obligation to issue and/or file any press release or
        other public disclosure document (including a Form 8-K and to satisfy early warning requirements) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or to the extent disclosure may otherwise be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement of Coeur and consents to a copy of this Agreement being filed on, or submitted to, the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval in Canada and the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering,
        Analysis and Retrieval system on or following the date hereof.  The parties further acknowledge and agree that a summary of this Agreement and the negotiations leading to its execution and delivery may appear in public disclosure documents required
        by applicable securities Laws and the parties shall reasonably consult with each other before including any such summary in any public disclosure documents.

     

    12.         Fees and Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided
        herein, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with or related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

     

    13.         Amendment and Modification.  This Agreement may

    14.         Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with
        the Support Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior written agreements, arrangements and understandings and all prior and
        contemporaneous oral agreements, arrangements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

     

    15.         Governing Law.  This Agreement and all disputes
        or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without
        regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of New York, except that with respect to the
        formalities for the transfer of the Transferred Victoria Shares, Ontario Law shall apply.

     

    16.         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
        counterparts (including facsimile and electronic transmission counterparts), all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered
        to the other party.

    SUPPORT AGREEMENT

     

    THIS AGREEMENT
        (this “Agreement”) is made as of May 10, 2021 between Coeur Mining, Inc., a corporation governed by the laws of Delaware (“Coeur”), and Orion Co-VI Ltd., a corporation
        governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Shareholder”).

     

    WHEREAS:

     

    	

          	A.	
            The Shareholder is the registered and/or direct or indirect beneficial owner of, or exercises control or direction over, issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares”) in the capital of
              Victoria Gold Corp. (the “Company”) and securities (“Convertible Securities”) convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable to acquire, Common Shares, as set
              out under the heading “Current Number of Securities” in Appendix I hereto;

          

     

    	

          	B.	
            Coeur and the Shareholder have entered into a purchase agreement dated the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Shareholder has agreed to sell and Coeur
              or one of its Affiliates (as defined herein) has agreed to acquire 11,067,714 Common Shares, representing approximately 17.8% of the common stock of the Company (the “Acquired Shares”), based on the
              most recent public disclosure of the Company;

          

     

    	

          	C.	
            Following the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Shareholder will be the registered and/or direct or indirect beneficial owner of, or exercises control or direction over, the Common Shares and
              Convertible Securities, as set out under the heading “Post-Closing Number of Securities” in Appendix I hereto (the “Retained Securities”);

          

     

    	

          	D.	
            The Shareholder understands that Coeur may consider an offer, proposal or transaction that would result in (i) the acquisition by Coeur of voting securities of the Company  representing more than fifty percent (50%) of votes represented by
              all issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, or (b) the acquisition by Coeur of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company on a consolidated basis (a “Transaction”,

              and if the same is undertaken by a person other than Coeur, an “Alternative Transaction”); and

          

     

    	

          	E.	
            This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the Shareholder’s agreement to (i) support a Transaction if Coeur determines to pursue such and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited, or vote or cause to be voted, as applicable, the
              Common Shares, as set out under the heading “Post-Closing Number of Securities” in Appendix I, and all Common Shares subsequently legally or beneficially acquired by the Shareholder or over which the Shareholder will have control or
              direction, including Common Shares acquired upon exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities (collectively and with the Retained Securities, the “Subject Securities”) in favour of such Transaction.

          

     

    NOW THEREFORE in
        consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), Coeur and the Shareholder agree as follows:

      Securities may be acquired, directly or indirectly, by Coeur or its Affiliates, and acknowledges that Coeur is relying upon such representations and warranties in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement:

                is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

          

     

    	

          	(b)	
            Authorization. The Shareholder
                has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Shareholder of this
                Agreement and the consummation by the Shareholder of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and,
                assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by Coeur, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except that such
                enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is
                subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

            Ownership, etc. The
                Shareholder is either (i) the legal and beneficial owner of, or (ii) the beneficial owner exercising control and direction over (but not the holder of record of) all of the Subject Securities. The only securities of the Company legally or
                beneficially owned by the Shareholder, or over which the Shareholder exercises control or direction, are those listed under the heading “Current Number of Securities” on Appendix I hereto and the gold options certificate dated April 13,
                2018 between the Shareholder and the Company (the “Gold Option”). For greater certainty, the term “Subject Securities”
                as used herein, includes the Common Shares and Convertible Securities listed on Appendix I and any securities of the Company into which the Convertible Securities may be converted through the exercise, conversion or exchange of the
                Convertible Securities but does not include the Gold Option. Except for the securities set out under the heading “Post-Closing Number of Securities” in Appendix I, the Shareholder has no agreement or option, or right or privilege (whether
                by law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase or acquisition by the Shareholder or transfer to the Shareholder of additional securities of the Company.

            Good Title. If the Subject
                Securities are transferred to Coeur, the Subject Securities will be transferred to and acquired by Coeur or its Affiliates with good and marketable title, free and clear of any and all encumbrances in accordance with the terms of the
                Transaction. Other than the Shareholder Rights Agreement dated June 25, 2019 between the Shareholder and the Company, the Subject Securities are not subject to any securityholders’ agreement, voting trust or similar agreement or any right
                or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming a securityholders’ agreement, voting trust or other agreement affecting the Subject Securities or the ability of the Shareholder (or, after any acquisition of the
                Subject Securities by Coeur, Coeur) to exercise all ownership rights thereto, including the voting of any such Subject Securities or any securities of the Company for which the Subject Securities may be exercised, converted or exchanged.

          

     

    	

          	(e)	
            No Agreements. No person has
                any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase, requisition or transfer from the Shareholder, or any registered holder of the
                Subject Securities or any other person, of any of the Subject Securities, or any interest therein or right thereto, except pursuant to this Agreement. Other than as disclosed in writing by the Shareholder to Coeur, there does not exist any
                agreement, understanding or commitment giving rise to any obligations, financial or otherwise, on the part of the Company or any of its Affiliates to the Shareholder, or any Affiliates of the Shareholder, as applicable (or any Associates or
                Insiders) (as such foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)).

          

     

    	

          	(f)	
            No Proceeding Pending. There
                is no claim, action, lawsuit, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding pending or threatened against the Shareholder, that relates or could relate to this Agreement or otherwise materially impairs or could materially impair the ability of
                the Shareholder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the title of the Shareholder to any of the Subject Securities.

          

     

    	

          	(g)	
            Consents. There is no
                requirement of the Shareholder to make any filing with, give any notice to, or obtain any permit, licence, sanction, ruling, order, exemption or consent, approval or waiver of, any governmental authority or other person (including the
                lapse, without objection, of a prescribed time under applicable laws that states that a transaction may be implemented if a prescribed time lapses following the giving of notice) as a condition to the lawful completion of the transactions
                contemplated by this Agreement, or the execution and delivery by the Shareholder and enforcement against the Shareholder of this Agreement.

            Sophisticated Seller. The
                Shareholder has independently and without reliance upon Coeur, and based on such information as the Shareholder has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Shareholder acknowledges that Coeur
                has not made and does not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

                consummation by Coeur of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Coeur and, assuming due authorization, execution
                and delivery hereof and thereof by the Shareholder, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Coeur, enforceable against Coeur in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy,
                insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, whether

      preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity, and the parties further agree to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in
      connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. Such remedies will not be exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled, at law or
      in equity.
