TORONTO, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE:MUX) (TSX:MUX) today reported its first quarter results for the period ended March 31^st, 2025 ("Q1/25").

McEwen Mining has initiated plans to significantly increase annual gold production at the Fox Complex, targeting 60,000 ounces by 2027, with potential expansion to 120,000 - 150,000 ounces by 2030, subject to timely permit approval. As a result, our total annual consolidated production could increase to the earlier stated range of 225,000 - 255,000 GEOs. Our strategic investments in exploration, permitting, and infrastructure development support this growth.

To fund this growth program, we completed a $110.0 million convertible debt offering, with an immediate focus on transitioning production at the complex from Froome to Stock. Once the Stock mine is in production we will turn our attention to Grey Fox as the next step in our evolution. Grey Fox has grown in recent years as a direct result of our investment in successful exploration campaigns. We are currently developing a pre-feasibility study for Grey Fox that will better define its potential and production timeline, with the study expected to be completed later this year.

Our first quarter performance at Gold Bar and San José were generally on plan; in Nevada, waste removal from Pick phase III was the focus resulting in expected higher costs, which were well controlled by the operating team and our contractors; in Argentina Q1 is always the weakest quarter due to a two-week maintenance shutdown and we expect costs there to trend lower toward our guidance over the balance of the year. Fox faced some challenges that impacted production in the first quarter, primarily with reduced labor availability and difficult weather conditions. With Froome mine approaching the end of its productive life cycle, we expect to balance its potentially increasing variability in performance with production growth starting in 2026 as described above with the opening of the Stock mine. Stock recently received the final Closure Plan Permit, which enables us to move forward with development and the planned mining operations.

While from an operational perspective there remains work to be completed to achieve the desired consistency and above guidance performance, our income statement is going improve as a major expense item will be eliminated once the Los Azules Feasibility Study is published this summer. At that point, we will be able to capitalize the expenditures of McEwen Copper.

Financial Results

Please note: Under US GAAP, McEwen Mining consolidates 100% of the accounts of its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries in its reported financial results. Entities over which we exert significant influence but do not control (such as Minera Santa Cruz S.A. ("MSC''), the operator of the San José mine, and McEwen Copper, the owner of the Los Azules copper project) are presented as equity investments on our balance sheet.

Adjustments to our equity investments represent our share of these companies' net income or loss, and are presented on our income statement. With the upcoming publication of the Los Azules feasibility study in July 2025, McEwen Copper expects to capitalize its expenses under US GAAP, reducing its impact on McEwen Mining's net income, which was negatively affected by $8.6 million in Q1 2025.

Our gross profit in Q1 was $10.1 million, compared to a gross profit of $6.0 million in Q1/24. This increase was primarily driven by a 31% higher average realized gold price.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for Q1 was $8.7 million, or $0.16 per share, versus $6.3 million, or $0.13 per share in Q1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of McEwen Copper's expenses attributable to McEwen Mining of $8.6 million and reflects the earnings of our operating properties, including the San José mine.

Net loss for Q1 was $3.9 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $20.4 million, or $0.41 per share in Q1 2024. The improvement was driven by a reduction of attributable expenditures by McEwen Copper, from a loss of $18.0 million in Q1/24 down to $8.6 million in Q1/25, as well as higher gross profit from our gold operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To strengthen our liquidity and fund our growth projects at the Fox Complex we issued $110.0 million in Capped Call 5.25% Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes due 2030 (the "Convertible Notes").

The Convertible Notes mature on August 15, 2030 with a 5.25% coupon, callable in 3.5 years, payable with cash, shares or a combination. A Capped Call option was included to mitigate the potential share dilution by effectively raising the conversion price from $11.25 to $17.30, representing a 100% premium over our closing share price on the day prior to the financing announcement.

Cash provided by financing activities of $70.5 million during Q1/25 consisted of $110.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of Senior Convertible Notes, offset by financing costs of $4.2 million, $15.1 million purchase of capped call options, principal repayments of $20.0 million on our term loan facility, and the repayment of finance lease obligations for $0.2 million.

We reported consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $68.5 million and consolidated working capital of $61.1 million as at March 31, 2025, compared to the respective numbers of $17.5 million and negative $6.5 million at December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025 total debt was $130 million, reflecting the issuance of convertible notes, compared to $40 million at year-end 2024.

Gold & Silver Production (See Table 1)

Q1/25 consolidated production was 24,131 GEOs, including 10,924 attributable GEOs from the San José mine⁽¹⁾, compared to 33,037 GEOs produced in Q1/24 which included 12,934 attributable GEOs from the San José mine⁽¹⁾. Our annual plans include higher production across our operations through the remainder of the year, and we remain on track to deliver the 2025 production guidance of 120,000 to 140,000 GEOs.

Individual Mine Performance:

Gold Bar Mine, Nevada (100% owned)

Gold Bar produced 7,688 GEOs in Q1/25 (Q1/24 – 11,716 GEOs) as pre-stripping activities at the Pick Phase III deposit begin to wind down and production starts in early Q2/25. We expect production to increase steadily, as planned, through the remainder of the year. The Gold Bar Mine remains on track to meet its annual production guidance of 40,000 to 45,000 GEOs.

Cash costs⁽²⁾ and AISC⁽²⁾ per GEO sold in Q1/25 were $1,146 and $2,197, respectively, as compared to annual guidance of $1,500 to $1,700 and $1,700 to $1,900, respectively. The high unit AISC was largely attributable to $7.5 million of pre-stripping costs and will decrease through 2025 as production begins at Pick III.

We incurred $1.4 million in exploration expenses at our Gold Bar Mine and Timberline properties, primarily on planning drilling programs and site preparation in advance of the drilling season.

Gold Bar Exploration

Following the acquisition in 2024 of Timberline Resources in Nevada, McEwen Mining initiated an exploration program at the Windfall Project and on March 3, 2025 announced preliminary drill results which included:

2.85 g/t Au over 33.5 m from 64.0 m including 6.96 g/t Au over 10.7 m from 83.8 m (Hole WF006)

1.57 g/t Au over 48.8 m from 80.8 m (Hole WF018)

1.47 g/t Au over 38.1 m from 41.1 m (Hole WF012)

Additional drilling planned for this year aims to advance the Windfall project toward a production decision.

Fox Complex Mine, Ontario (100% owned)

We are underway with Stock mine portal access development at the Fox Complex. During Q1/25, we invested $3.9 million for the Stock portal entrance where we expect to begin mining before 2026. At Froome, we produced 5,520 GEOs during Q1/25 (vs 7,486 GEOs during Q1/24), below the initial planning due to adverse winter conditions and labor force challenges. In response, the Company accelerated hiring efforts and engaged contractors to support operations. We are also reviewing prudent options to improve gold production during 2025 from short-term extension opportunities at Froome or mining areas at Stock that can be accessed early. With these mitigating actions in place, the Fox Complex expects to meet annual production guidance of 30,000 to 35,000 GEOs.

Cash costs⁽²⁾ and AISC⁽²⁾ per GEO sold in Q1 were $2,061 and $2,504, respectively, as compared to annual guidance ranges of $1,600-$1,800 and $1,700-$1,900, respectively. The increase in unit costs was driven primarily by 33% lower GEOs sold. Unit costs are expected to decrease through the year as production improves.

We incurred $2.3 million in exploration expenses at Fox Complex during Q1/25 to advance our Grey Fox project, where we completed 50,000 feet (15,200 meters) of diamond drilling, focused mainly on the Gibson Zone.

Fox Complex Exploration

During the quarter the Company announced the updated gold resource estimate for Grey Fox, which recorded a 32% increase in the Indicated ounces to 1,538,000 oz at a grade of 3.64 g/t Au, and a 95% increase in the Inferred ounces to 458,000 oz at a grade of 3.30 g/t Au.

Results of the end of the 2024 drilling campaign and the start of the 2025 one at Grey Fox were announced in February. They included:

17.7 g/t Au over 8.0 m (Hole 24GF-1520)

55.6 g/t Au over 0.6 m (Hole 24GF-1522)

9.8 g/t Au over 2.1 m (Hole 24GF-1520)

12.9 g/t Au over 4.3 m and 15.3 g/t Au over 2.7 m (Hole 25GF-1525)

More results for Grey Fox drilling between February and April were released on May 7. Drilling has identified a new exploration corridor at depth, successfully refining our previous knowledge and interpretation of the gold bearing structures at Grey Fox. Some of the best drill results seen to date at Gibson were included:

12.4 g/t Au over 10.7 m, including 27.9 g/t Au over 4.5 m (Hole 25GF-1539)

4.0 g/t Au over 30.1 m, including 7.8 g/t Au over 11.5 m (Hole 25GF-1548)

Current drilling at Grey Fox is ongoing and has delineated targets based on a recently completed geophysical survey.

San José Mine (49% owned)

San José production of 10,924 GEOs decreased by 16% in Q1/25 (Q1/24 – 12,934 GEOs). Production during the period was slightly impacted by lower processed grades and recovery rates, primarily due to elevated clay content in the ore. In response, San José plans to increase plant throughput beginning April 2025, supported by recent mill improvements completed in late 2025. Additionally, the first quarter of each year is influenced by production seasonality due to the planned annual maintenance shutdowns. We reiterate full-year guidance of 50,000 to 60,000 attributable GEOs⁽¹⁾.

Cash costs⁽²⁾ and AISC⁽²⁾ per GEO sold in Q1 were $2,575 and $3,047, respectively, as compared to full year guidance of $1,600-$1,800 and $1,900-$2,100, respectively. Higher unit costs were primarily the result of 18% higher production costs driven by the relative strength in the Argentine peso, as well as 26% lower GEOs sold during the period. As higher planned production is achieved through the remainder of 2025, we expect San José to decrease its unit costs over the remainder of the year.

San José Exploration

Exploration at San José has successfully replaced resources in 2024 by drilling near-mine drilling at Frea, Odin and Maia veins. For 2025, exploration has 11,000 meters of drilling planned for Frea SE, Odin, Buitre, Roadside, and Central veins. Targets in the wider district at El Retiro & Telken Norte (close to Cerro Negro) are also expected to be drilled this year.

McEwen Copper (46.4% owned)

McEwen Copper invested $21.3 million (100% basis) in Q1 to advance its feasibility study on Los Azules. Including amounts spent by Minera Andes Inc. prior to 2012, and McEwen Mining prior to 2021, we have invested over $400 million to develop Los Azules as a world-class copper development project.

Los Azules

Located in the province of San Juan, Argentina, the Los Azules project is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper deposits.

Following the successful conclusion of the 2023-2024 drilling program, the Los Azules team finalized the resource model supporting our planned feasibility study. During 2025, Los Azules spent $21.3 million to support remaining activities required for our feasibility study.

Drilling Program

The 2024-2025 campaign commenced on November 5, 2024, and by March 31, 2025, we have completed 36,000 feet (11,000 meters) of drilling, covering geotechnical, exploration, hydrological, and condemnation work. As of March 31, 2025, the Los Azules drilling database totals approximately 685,600 feet (209,000 meters).

The objectives of the 2024-2025 campaign include conducting hydrogeological testing to assess and model the site's water resources, carrying out condemnation drilling to evaluate areas designated for future permanent mine infrastructure, and completing geotechnical and geophysical studies.

Additionally, drilling has progressed at targets of interest near our deposit, such as the Tango Area, located east of the future Los Azules open pit. Regional exploration efforts are also ongoing, supported by recent helicopter-assisted magnetotelluric surveys, to identify other areas with mineralization potential across our 100% owned mining property.

Feasibility Study and Construction

With the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval in place since December 2024, Los Azules is advancing towards the release of a definitive feasibility study, expected in July 2025.

Regime of Incentives for Investment (RIGI)

The Regime of Incentives for Investment aims to attract domestic and foreign investment to a number of sectors in Argentina, including mining, enhancing resource exploration and production while creating job opportunities and increasing energy security. On February 11, 2025, McEwen Copper submitted an application for admission to the Los Azules copper project into the RIGI. If approved, the Los Azules project would become eligible for a range of fiscal and regulatory benefits, including a reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 25%, acceleration of sales tax recovery, reduced tax of dividends from 7% to 3.5%, elimination of export duties currently 4.5%, and relief from the requirement to repatriate export proceeds. Additionally, the project would benefit from a 30-year stability guarantee and access to international arbitration for dispute resolution.

Investments

On March 10, 2025, the Company invested in Goliath Resources Limited through a non-brokered private placement, acquiring 5,181,347 shares in exchange for 868,056 shares of the Company's common stock. At the closing price on May 7^th, 2025, the shares of Goliath have a market value of $7.9 million.

On March 27, 2025, the Company participated in private placement offerings by Canadian Gold Corp, acquiring 11,764,705 shares for a total investment of $1.4 million. At the closing price on May 7^th, 2025, the shares of Canadian Gold have a market value of $2.4 million.

Notes:

Cash gross profit, cash costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce, and adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized definition under U.S. GAAP. For definition of the non-GAAP measures see "Non-GAAP- Financial Measures" section in this press release; for the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the closest U.S. GAAP measures, see the Management Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, filed on Edgar and SEDAR.
'Gold Equivalent Ounces' are calculated based on a gold to silver price ratio of 90:1 for Q1 2025 and 89:1 for Q1 2024. 2025 production guidance is calculated based on 85:1 gold to silver price ratio.
Represents the portion attributable to us from our 49% interest in the San José Mine.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP MEASURES

We have included in this report certain non-GAAP performance measures as detailed below. In the gold mining industry, these are common performance measures but do not have any standardized meaning and are considered non-GAAP measures. We use these measures to evaluate our business on an ongoing basis and believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors use such non-GAAP measures to evaluate our performance and ability to generate cash flow. We also report these measures to provide investors and analysts with useful information about our underlying costs of operations and clarity over our ability to finance operations. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with the use of such non-GAAP measures. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using the non-GAAP measures supplementally.

The non-GAAP measures are presented for our wholly owned mines and our interest in the San José mine. The amounts in the reconciliation tables labeled "49% basis" were derived by applying to each financial statement line item the ownership percentage interest used to arrive at our share of net income or loss during the period when applying the equity method of accounting. We do not control the interest in or operations of MSC and the presentations of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of MSC do not represent our legal claim to such items. The amount of cash we receive is based upon specific provisions of the Option and Joint Venture Agreement ("OJVA") and varies depending on factors including the profitability of the operations.

The presentation of these measures, including the minority interest in the San José, has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations include:

The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate their cash cost per ounce and all-in sustaining costs differently than we do, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure.

Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs

The terms cash costs, cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining costs ("AISC"), and all-in sustaining cost per ounce used in this report are non-GAAP financial measures. We report these measures to provide additional information regarding operational efficiencies on an individual mine basis, and believe these measures provide investors and analysts with useful information about our underlying costs of operations.

Cash costs consist of mining, processing, on-site general and administrative expenses, community and permitting costs related to current operations, royalty costs, refining and treatment charges (for both doré and concentrate products), sales costs, export taxes and operational stripping costs, but exclude depreciation and amortization (non-cash items). The sum of these costs is divided by the corresponding gold equivalent ounces sold to determine a per ounce amount.

All-in sustaining costs consist of cash costs (as described above), plus accretion of retirement obligations and amortization of the asset retirement costs related to operating sites, environmental rehabilitation costs for mines with no reserves, sustaining exploration and development costs, sustaining capital expenditures and sustaining lease payments. Our all-in sustaining costs exclude the allocation of corporate general and administrative costs. The following is additional information regarding our all-in sustaining costs:

Sustaining operating costs represent expenditures incurred at current operations that are considered necessary to maintain current annual production at the mine site and include mine development costs and ongoing replacement of mine equipment and other capital facilities. Sustaining capital costs do not include costs of expanding the project that would result in improved productivity of the existing asset, increased existing capacity or extended useful life.
Sustaining exploration and development costs include expenditures incurred to sustain current operations and to replace reserves and/or resources extracted as part of the ongoing production. Exploration activity performed near-mine (brownfield) or new exploration projects (greenfield) are classified as non-sustaining.

The sum of all-in sustaining costs is divided by the corresponding gold equivalent ounces sold to determine a per ounce amount.

Costs excluded from cash costs and all-in sustaining costs, in addition to depreciation and depletion, are income and mining tax expenses, all corporate financing charges, costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions and asset disposal, and any items that are deducted for the purpose of normalizing items.

The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, production costs applicable to sales.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning. We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and ability to generate cash flow from our wholly owned operations in production; we believe this measure provides valuable assistance to investors and analysts in evaluating our ability to finance our precious metal operations and capital activities separately from our copper exploration operations. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is net loss before income and mining taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back McEwen Copper's income or loss impacts on our consolidated income or loss before income and mining taxes.

The following tables present a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA:
