McEwen Mining Discovers Additional Gold at El Gallo Phase 1 Production Area

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 19, 2012) - McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE:MUX)(TSX:MUX) is pleased to announce exploration drill results from its 100% owned El Gallo Complex, in Sinaloa State, Mexico. Drilling has extended the known mineralized zones within the Phase 1 production area, where mine commissioning is underway (Fig. 1). The most impressive hole returned 1.1 gpt gold over 71.3 m, including 6.6 gpt gold over 4.9 m, which is believed to be the widest intersection of +1 gpt gold recorded at the property (Fig. 2 & 3).

"One of the best ways to stagnate in the mining industry is to stop exploration. We have no intention of doing so. Our properties continue to yield intriguing discoveries," stated Rob McEwen, Chief Owner.

El Gallo Phase 1 Exploration Drill Results

Drilling within the El Gallo Phase 1 area commenced during the Second Quarter with the objective of expanding the size of the overall gold resources (M&I: 566,508 gold ounces; Inferred: 271,081 gold ounces)* in order to increase the current mine life (approximately 6-7 yrs). The majority of the drilling has focused on extending the limits of the Lupita vein (Fig. 1 & 2), to the southwest and at depth. Five of the seven holes were successful. The most important hole is MLX-013. This hole is located approximately 200 m southwest of the planned Lupita open pit, in an area that has seen limited exploration. The mineralization remains open in several directions.

Werde nicht so recht schlau aus dem von harry74 geposteten "200 Mio. $ Paket". (Wahrscheinlich ist auch mein Englisch zu schlecht um dies richtig intepretieren zu können.)

So wie ich dies verstehe, geht es hierbei um eine Art Bestätigung / Versicherung, welche die McEwen berechtigt, Wertpapiere / Schuldverschreibungen bis zu einem Gegenwert von 200 Mio. $ ausgeben zu dürfen.

Evtl. handelt es sich zudem auch um eine weitere Vorarbeit für die geplante Aufnahme im S&P 500.


Falls es jemand besser versteht bzw. erläutern kann, wäre ich dankbar dafür.

Das kann einem schon zu denken geben immerhin 200 mio dollar

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

This news release has been reviewed and approved by John Read, CPG, McEwen Mining's consulting geologist, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for program design and quality control of exploration undertaken by McEwen Mining at its Mexican exploration properties. Mr. Read is not considered independent of the Company as defined in Section 1.5 of NI 43-101. Samples from the core drilling were split on-site at the Company's El Gallo Complex. One half of the split drill core is shipped to ALS Chemex for sample preparation and analysis by 4-acid digestion with ICP determination for silver and fire assay for gold. Samples returning greater than 1500 ppm silver or 10 ppm gold were re-analyzed using gravimetric fire assay. Standards and blanks were inserted every 20 samples. All holes were drilled with HQ bits and reduced to NTW where required. Samples were taken based on lithologic and/or mineralized intervals and vary in length. In some cases the true width of the mineral zones has not been determined.

The current resource estimate for the El Gallo Complex (as disclosed by McEwen Mining in its June 5, 2012 news release and which supercedes the resource estimate contained in the El Gallo PEA (see below)) was prepared by Brian Hartman P.Geo and Richard J. Kehmeier, CPG of Pincock, Allen and Holt (in-pit resources), each considered independent of the Company as defined in Section 1.5 of NI 43-101. All other resources were prepared by John Read CPG, Senior Geological Consultant to McEwen Mining. For additional information about the El Gallo Complex see also the "Preliminary Economic Assessment for the El Gallo District, Sinaloa State Mexico" dated February 11, 2011 and prepared by Paul Gates, PE, Richard Addison, PE, Aaron McMahon, PG of Pincock Allen & Holt of Denver, Colorado ("El Gallo PEA"). All three individuals are Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101 and are independent of US Gold Corporation as defined in Section 1.4 of NI 43-101 and Section 3.5 of Companion Policy 43-101CP. The El Gallo PEA is available under McEwen Mining's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

(i)The El Gallo gold resource totals Measured & Indicated: 566,508 oz. (34,400,000 tonnes @ 0.51 gpt) and Inferred: 271,081 oz. (27,600,000 tonnes @ 0.31 gpt).

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US INVESTORS

McEwen Mining prepares its resource estimates in accordance with standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). These standards are different from the standards generally permitted in reports filed with the SEC. Under NI 43-101, McEwen Mining reports measured, indicated and inferred resources, measurements which are generally not permitted in filings made with the SEC. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involve greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into economically mineable reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources.

"Hot Stocks Investor - McEwen Mining-Aktie: als strategisches "Buy-and-hold"-Investment für den Goldsektor geeignet 13:21 08.10.12

Endingen (www.aktiencheck.de) - Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" halten die McEwen Mining-Aktie (MCEWEN MINING INC New Aktie) für ein aussichtsreiches Investment.

Der Goldpreis stehe inzwischen kurz vor einem sehr wichtigen Kaufsignal. Sollte der Preis nun über die Marke von 1.790 USD je Unze ansteigen, würden Charttechniker mit einer Rally rechnen, die den Goldpreis in 2013 auf neue Hochs von über 2.000 USD je Unze ansteigen lassen sollte. Szeneexperten wie Rob McEwen erwarte auf lange Sicht sogar einen Goldpreis von bis zu 5.000 USD je Unze.

Download this Press Release (PDF 1.29 MB)

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 29, 2012) - McEwen Mining Inc. ("McEwen Mining") (NYSE:MUX)(TSX:MUX)announced today that McEwen Mining and its wholly-owned subsidiary, McEwen Mining - Minera Andes Acquisition Corp. ("Exchange Co.") (TSX:MAQ), will launch transferrable rights offerings (the "Rights Offerings").

We are conducting two concurrent rights offerings because we have two classes of shares: common shares of McEwen Mining ("Common Shares"); and shares of Exchange Co. that are exchangeable on a 1-for-1 basis into Common Shares ("Exchangeable Shares"). The Rights Offerings will provide that holders of Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares will participate on an equal and proportional basis with other holders of the same class of shares in purchasing additional shares of the same class of shares at a considerable discount to the current listed price.

"I believe a rights offering, versus all other forms of financing, is the most fair to our shareholders. We are giving the Companies' current shareholders who have been supportive and loyal to the Company the first right on this financing. I am personally backstopping this financing for $60 million because I believe McEwen Mining has a bright future," said Rob McEwen , Chairman and Chief Owner.

   Record date/time is set at 5:00 p.m. (EST) on November 8, 2012 (the "Record Date").

   How many shares will I be able to subscribe for? For each share you hold on the Record Date you will receive one (1) subscription right to acquire the same class of shares. For every ten (10) subscription rights of the same class of shares you hold, you will be able to subscribe for one (1) share of that same class of shares (subject to applicable law).

   What will it cost to subscribe for a share? Upon the exercise of ten (10) subscription rights each Common Share will cost US$2.25 or CDN$2.24 (if you reside in Canada) and each Exchangeable Share will cost CDN$2.24. The price difference is reflective of the US$/CDN$ exchange rate.

   Rights Expiry Date: The Rights Offerings will be open until 5:00 p.m. (EST) on December 4, 2012. Holders of subscription rights will need to exercise their subscription rights prior to that time and date ("Expiry Date")

   How much will the Rights Offerings raise? Gross proceeds of approximately $60m.

   What will the funds raised be used for? (1) to fund the advancement of the Company's El Gallo complex; (2) to complete metallurgical studies on the Company's Tonkin project and follow-up work as required; (3) to advance the permitting process and environmental impact study on the Company's Gold Bar project; (4) to further explore the Company's various projects and properties, and (5) for other corporate purposes.

   How many shares will be issued? The Company expects to issue a total of 19,051,679 Common Shares and 7,798,762 Exchangeable Shares representing approximately 10% of our current outstanding Common Shares (assuming the conversion of the Exchangeable Shares issued in the Rights Offerings into Common Shares).

   Will this dilute my percentage share holdings? Your shareholdings will not be diluted if you exercise your rights in full. If your rights go unexercised or you sell your rights (see below), your percentage share holdings will be diluted.

   Can I sell my rights on the NYSE or TSX? Yes, shareholders who do not wish to exercise their subscription rights will have the option of selling their subscription rights to acquire the underlying Common Shares through the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange and their subscription rights to acquire the underlying Exchangeable Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (subject to the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange approving the trading of the subscription rights and the listing and trading of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such subscription rights).

   Can I buy more shares? Perhaps. All shareholders of McEwen Mining and of Exchange Co. will be offered an oversubscription privilege that allows those shareholders that fully exercise their subscription rights the opportunity to acquire, on a pro rata basis, additional Common Shares or Exchangeable Shares, respectively, that remain unpurchased on the Expiry Date.

   When will I receive additional information? A rights certificate and a prospectus or rights offering circular will be mailed to each shareholder of McEwen Mining and Exchange Co. shortly following the Record Date.

   Backstop: Rob McEwen will be subscribing for all the subscription rights made available to him as a result of his 25% ownership in McEwen Mining (includes his Exchangeable Shares), but will not participate in the oversubscription privilege thereunder. In addition, he has agreed to backstop the Rights Offerings in their entirety. This means that if any subscription rights remain un-exercised in the Rights Offerings (including the oversubscription privilege) on the Expiry Date, the unsubscribed Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares will be subscribed for by Rob. This guarantees that the Rights Offerings will be fully subscribed for. The Company will raise approximately US$60 million in gross proceeds from the Rights Offerings.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US INVESTORS

McEwen Mining prepares its resource estimates in accordance with standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). These standards are different from the standards generally permitted in reports filed with the SEC. Under NI 43-101, McEwen Mining reports measured, indicated and inferred resources, measurements which are generally not permitted in filings made with the SEC. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involve greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into economically mineable reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources.
