McEwen Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) has announced that its 2026 Annual Meeting will take place on June 4, 2026, in Toronto and via live webcast. Following the formal proceedings, the company will host a live Bullpen Q&A session moderated by Anthony Vaccaro, President of The Northern Miner Group, featuring Chairman and Chief Owner Rob McEwen, Vice-Chairman Ian Ball, and McEwen Copper Managing Director Michael Meding. The discussion is expected to cover operational performance, growth plans, capital allocation, the McEwen Copper and Los Azules projects, market outlooks for gold and copper, and questions submitted by investors.
McEwen Inc. provides shareholders with exposure to a growing base of gold and silver production in the Americas, alongside a very large copper development project. The company's gold and silver mines are located in prolific mineral-rich regions, including the Cortez Trend in Nevada, the Timmins district of Ontario, Flin Flon in Manitoba, and the Deseado Massif in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. Additionally, McEwen is reactivating its gold-silver El Gallo Mine in Mexico.
A key asset is McEwen's 46.3% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the large, long-life, 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, or US$7.67 per share. 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. Its Feasibility Study results were announced in a press release dated October 7, 2025.
In addition to its mining operations, McEwen recently purchased a 27.3% stake in Paragon Advanced Labs Inc., a newly listed public company that deploys PhotonAssay units around the world. The company believes this technology is poised to become the new industry standard for assaying precious and base metals, with Paragon aiming to be a leading service provider.
Chairman and Chief Owner Rob McEwen has invested over US$250 million 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 MUX's profitability, share value, and ultimately implement a dividend policy, as he did while building Goldcorp Inc.
The upcoming annual meeting and Q&A session provide an opportunity for shareholders to gain insights into the company's strategy and operations. The focus on the Los Azules copper project, with its regenerative and carbon-neutral design, underscores McEwen's commitment to sustainable mining practices. As global demand for copper rises due to electrification and renewable energy, the project's development could have significant implications for the industry and investors.
