McEwen Mining Joins BillionDollarClub, Highlighting Market Position and Strategic Copper Focus

McEwen Mining Inc., a precious metals producer with operations across the Americas, has been included in IBN's BillionDollarClub, reflecting its market capitalization exceeding $1 billion and established position in the global mining sector. The recognition underscores the company's diversified asset base, active trading liquidity, and long-term growth strategy that combines producing mines with development-stage projects and significant copper exposure through its interest in McEwen Copper.

The company's operations span prolific mineral-rich regions including the Cortez Trend in Nevada, the Timmins district of Ontario, Canada, and the Deseado Massif in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. McEwen Mining is also considering reactivating a gold and silver mine in Mexico, further expanding its precious metals footprint. This geographic diversification provides operational stability while offering exposure to multiple mining jurisdictions with established infrastructure and regulatory frameworks.

A key component of McEwen Mining's growth strategy is its 46.4% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the advanced-stage Los Azules copper development project in San Juan province, Argentina. According to the last financing for McEwen Copper, the implied value of McEwen's ownership interest is US$456 million. The Los Azules project is designed to be one of the world's first regenerative copper mines and aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2038. The project's Feasibility Study results were announced in a press release dated October 7, 2025, detailing its technical and economic parameters.

Leadership alignment represents another significant aspect of McEwen Mining's corporate structure. Founder and Chairman Rob McEwen owns approximately 15% of the company and has personally invested over US$200 million in McEwen Mining and its copper platform. He accepts a salary of $1 per year, creating strong alignment with shareholder interests. McEwen, a recipient of the Order of Canada and member of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame, previously built Goldcorp Inc. and implemented a dividend policy there, indicating similar long-term objectives for McEwen Mining.
