SEGMENT REPORTING The Companys operating segments include the Palmarejo complex, and the Rochester, Kensington, Wharf and Silvertip mines. Except for the Silvertip mine, all operating segments are engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of gold and/or silver. The Silvertip mine is engaged in the discovery, mining, and production of silver, zinc and lead. Silvertip commenced commercial production in September 2018. Other includes the Sterling/Crown project and La Preciosa project, other mineral interests, strategic equity investments, corporate office, elimination of intersegment transactions, and other items necessary to reconcile to consolidated amounts. The Company determined that the disposition in the first quarter of 2018 of Empresa Minera Manquiri S.A., a Bolivian Sociedad anonima (Manquiri), which operates the San Bartolome mine, represented a strategic shift to a North America-focused mining portfolio and had significant effect on the entity's results and operations; therefore, the results of operations are presented as discontinued operations in Other for all periods presented.

The Company plans to (i) double its exploration investment in 2020 to potentially further expand the mineralized material and extend the mine life, and (ii) pursue a mill expansion to improve the assets cost structure and its ability to deliver sustainable cash flow Year ended December 31, 2018 Palmarejo Rochester Kensington Wharf Silvertip Other Total Revenue Gold sales $ 131,758 $ 66,556 $ 132,924 $ 95,770  $  $ 427,008 Silver sales 113,998 75,252  746 3,157  193,153 Zinc sales     3,612  3,612 Lead sales     2,131  2,131 Metal sales 245,756 141,808 132,924 96,516 8,900  625,904 Costs and Expenses Costs applicable to sales (1) 120,088 105,677 112,364 67,201 35,620  440,950 Amortization 60,744 20,909 29,508 11,072 5,235 1,005 128,473 Exploration 10,516 332 5,871 104 2,748 5,826 25,397 Other operating expenses 3,043 7,071 1,721 2,686 303 36,564 51,388 Other income (expense) Fair value adjustments, net      3,638 3,638 Interest expense, net (2,137 ) (466 ) (973 ) (40 ) (766 ) (19,982 ) (24,364 ) Other, net (8,308 ) (1,211 ) 2,795 (834 ) (370 ) (16,777 ) (24,705 ) Income and mining tax (expense) benefit (15,724 ) (874 )  (1,063 ) 16,057 18,384 16,780 Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 25,196 $ 5,268 $ (14,718 ) $ 13,516 $ (20,085 ) $ (58,132 ) $ (48,955 ) Income (loss) from discontinued operations $  $  $  $   $ 550 $ 550 Segment assets (2) $ 363,024 $ 269,903 $ 224,460 $ 102,246 415,998 $ 175,040 $ 1,550,671 Capital expenditures $ 29,425 $ 9,919 $ 44,738 $ 3,382 52,932 $ 391 $ 140,787 (1) Excludes amortization (2) Segment assets include receivables, prepaids, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and mineral interests Year ended December 31, 2017 Palmarejo Rochester Kensington Wharf Silvertip Other Total Revenue Gold sales $ 146,187 $ 68,964 $ 154,469 $ 124,629  $  $ 494,249 Silver sales 128,622 83,716  1,272  1,739 215,349 Metal sales 274,809 152,680 154,469 125,901  1,739 709,598 Costs and Expenses Costs applicable to sales (1) 146,176 107,921 116,096 69,322  745 440,260 Amortization 73,744 22,306 36,022 13,012  1,465 146,549 Exploration 11,924 1,352 8,604 320  8,111 30,311 Other operating expenses 1,263 3,394 1,412 2,468 153 43,862 52,552 Other income (expense) Loss on debt extinguishment      (9,342 ) (9,342 ) Fair value adjustments, net  (864 )     (864 ) Interest expense, net (487 ) (496 ) (413 ) (66 ) (2,212 ) (12,766 ) (16,440 ) Other, net (851 ) 2,193 (922 ) 172 1,142 24,909 26,643 Income and mining tax (expense) benefit (24,330 ) (1,028 )  (3,936 ) (932 ) 1,228 (28,998 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 16,034 $ 17,512 $ (9,000 ) $ 36,949 $ (2,155 ) $ (48,415 ) $ 10,925 Income (loss) from discontinued operations $  $  $  $   $ (12,244 ) $ (12,244 ) Segment assets (2) $ 377,621 $ 239,223 $ 212,588 $ 104,010 339,369 $ 71,742 $ 1,344,553 Capital expenditures $ 29,902 $ 40,874 $ 36,248 $ 8,844 17,684 $ 3,182 $ 136,734 (1) Excludes amortization (2) Segment assets include receivables, prepaids, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and mineral interests Assets December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Total assets for reportable segments $ 1,215,783 $ 1,550,671 Cash and cash equivalents 55,645 115,081 Other assets 107,208 46,748 Total consolidated assets $ 1,378,636 $ 1,712,500 Geographic Information Long-Lived Assets December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 United States $ 494,286 $ 515,649 Mexico 312,168 342,007 Canada 146,804 404,185 Other 7,486 8,177 Total $ 960,744 $ 1,270,018 Revenue Year ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 United States $ 414,548 $ 371,248 $ 433,050 Mexico 252,701 245,756 274,809 Canada 44,253 8,900  Australia   1,739 Total $ 711,502 $ 625,904 $ 709,598 The Company's dore, as well as the concentrate product produced by the Wharf mine, is refined into gold and silver bullion according to benchmark standards set by the LBMA, which regulates the acceptable requirements for bullion traded in the London precious metals markets. The Company then sells its gold and silver bullion to multi-national banks, bullion trading houses, and refiners across the globe. The Company had eight trading counterparties at December 31, 2019. The Company's sales of dore or concentrate product produced by the Palmarejo, Rochester, and Wharf mines amounted to approximately 68% , 77% , and 78% of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. In November 2018, one of the refiners of the Companys dore, RMC, a U.S.-based precious metals refiner, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. See Note 5 -- Receivables for additional detail. The Company's gold concentrate product from the Kensington mine and the zinc and lead concentrates from the Silvertip mine are sold under a variety of agreements with smelters and traders, and the smelters and traders pay the Company for the metals recovered from the concentrates. The Companys sales of concentrate produced by the Kensington and Silvertip mines amounted to approximately 32% , 23% , and 22% of total metal sales for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The Company believes that the loss of any one smelter, refiner, trader or third-party customer would not materially adversely affect the Company due to the liquidity of the markets and current availability of alternative trading counterparties. The following table indicates customers that represent 10% or more of total sales of metal for at least one of the years December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 (in millions): Year ended December 31, Customer 2019 2018 2017 Segments reporting revenue Asahi $ 341.0 $ 213.0 $ 124.1 Palmarejo, Wharf, Rochester Ocean Partners 149.7 74.8  Silvertip, Kensington Techemet Metal Trading 9.4 83.3 104.8 Rochester, Wharf RMC  71.7 132.4 Palmarejo, Rochester China National Gold  54.1 137.5 Kensington
