About McEwen Inc.

McEwen shares trade on both the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker MUX. McEwen provides its shareholders with exposure to a growing base of gold and silver production in addition to a very large copper development project with exciting optionality, all in the Americas. The gold and silver mines are in prolific mineral-rich regions of the world: the Cortez trend in Nevada, United States, the Timmins district of Ontario and Flin Flon in Manitoba, Canada, and the Deseado Massif in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. McEwen is also reactivating its gold and silver El Gallo mine in Mexico.

The company has a 46.3-per-cent interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the large, long-life, advanced-stage Los Azules copper development project in San Juan province, Argentina -- a region that hosts some of the country's largest copper deposits. According to the last financing for McEwen Copper, the implied value of McEwen's ownership interest is $457-million (U.S.).

The Los Azules copper project is designed to be one of the world's first regenerative copper mines and carbon neutral by 2038. Its feasibility study results were announced in the press release dated Oct. 7, 2025.

McEwen also recently purchased 27.3 per cent of Paragon Advanced Labs Inc., a newly listed public company that is deploying PhotonAssay units around the world, a technology that the company believes is poised to become the new industry standard for assaying precious and base metals, with Paragon aiming to be one of the leading service providers.

Chairman and chief owner Rob McEwen has invested $290-million (U.S.) personally and takes a salary of $1 per year, aligning his interests with shareholders. He is a recipient of the Order of Canada, a member of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame and a winner of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year (Energy) award. His objective is to build McEwen's profitability, share value and ultimately implement a dividend policy, as he did while building Goldcorp Inc.
