McEwen Mining Reports Q3 2017 Production Results

El Gallo Mine, Mexico – Overcoming Challenges

Production in Q3 was 7,213 gold equivalent ounces, compared to 11,849 gold equivalent ounces during the same period in 2016. Production in Q3 continued to be below our expectations as a result of a serious mechanical failure at the end of July that removed the crushing circuit from operation. As a result we were unable to crush and place fresh ore to leach on the leach pad for a period of time. We currently have almost twice our normal crushing capacity available for the remainder of the year. Production is improving on account of the increased throughput, and access to better grades of ore in the pit that was predicted in the second half of the year. Increased production in Q4 will partially compensate for the shortfall experienced to date.

Soil Geochemistry Identifies High Priority Gold-Silver Drill Target With Strike Length Of Over 1.8 KM at Cerro Cascaron Project

Warren Bates, P. Geo., the Company’s Director of Project Investigation said: “We are very pleased with the results of the soil sampling program, which has significantly extended the potential strike length of known gold bearing veins and has defined a very prospective intersection of a new vein corridor target and the Serpiente Dorada vein. The combination of initial rock sampling and mapping, results of the recent soil sampling, and the three-dimensional view provided by the project’s 900 metre vertical cliff side topography and colonial era adits, allow us a very helpful perspective of the vertical size and potential of the high-grade gold veins in the project area. We await the conclusion of the mapping and sampling programs over the main Cascaron gold vein field that will allow us to finalize several drilling locations for our initial drill program.”
