NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2026
(tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted)
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
McEwen Inc. (the “Company”), through its predecessor entity, US Gold Corporation, was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 24, 1979. Effective July 7, 2025, the Company changed its name from McEwen Mining Inc. to McEwen Inc. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of gold and silver, as well as the development and exploration of copper, gold, and silver mineral properties across North and South America.
The Company owns a 100% interest in the Gold Bar Mine Complex in Nevada, United States, the Fox Complex in Ontario, Canada, the Tartan Mine project in Manitoba, Canada, the El Gallo Project in Sinaloa, Mexico and a portfolio of exploration properties in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Argentina. As of March 31, 2026, the Company also owns a 46.3% interest in McEwen Copper Inc. (“McEwen Copper”), owner of the Los Azules copper project in San Juan, Argentina and a 49.0% interest in Minera Santa Cruz S.A. (“MSC”), owner of the producing San José silver-gold mine in Santa Cruz, Argentina, which is operated by the joint venture majority owner Hochschild Mining plc. and a 27.0% interest in Paragon Advanced Labs Inc. (“Paragon”), a provider of advanced analytical services to the mining industry. The Company reports its investments in McEwen Copper, MSC and Paragon under the equity method of accounting.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are unaudited. While information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements and prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the Company believes that the information and disclosures included in the interim consolidated financial statements are adequate and not misleading. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In management’s opinion, the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“Statements of Operations”) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026 and the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2025, the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, and the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments over which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control through majority ownership are accounted for using the equity method. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The reclassifications had no impact on reported results.
References to “CAD” refers to Canadian Dollar, “USD” refers to United States Dollar, “MXN” refers to Mexican Peso, and “ARS” refers to Argentine Peso.
NOTE 2 OPERATING SEGMENT REPORTING
The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the executive leadership team of the Company. The CODM reviews operating results, assesses performance and makes decisions about allocation of resources to these segments at the major mine/project where the economic characteristics of the individual mines, or by investee for those which are considered a reportable segment. As a result, these operating segments also represent the Company’s reportable segments.
The CODM reviews segment income or loss, defined as gold and silver sales, less production costs applicable to sales, depreciation and depletion, advanced projects, and exploration costs and an allocation of other segment items for all segments except for the McEwen Copper and MSC segments, which are evaluated based on the attributable equity income or loss pickup. The CODM uses segment gross profit (loss) and profit (loss) before taxes, or income (loss) from equity method investments, to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) for each segment. CODM predominantly considers such measures in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances for operating segments on a quarterly basis to support resource allocation and performance evaluation.
Gold and silver sales and production costs applicable to sales for the reportable segments are reported net of intercompany transactions. Capital expenditures include costs capitalized in mineral property interests and plant and equipment in the respective periods.
Significant information relating to the Company’s reportable operating segments for the periods presented is summarized in the tables below:

On March 10, 2025, the Company acquired 5,181,347 units of Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (“Goliath Resources”) in exchange for 868,056 common shares of the Company. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the Company to purchase one common share of Goliath Resources at a price of C$2.50 for a period of twelve months following the closing of the offering, expiring on March 10, 2026. Following the closing, as at March 10, 2025, the Company held an approximate 4% ownership interest in Goliath Resources. The Company recognized a day one gain of $0.9 million on the difference between the transaction price and fair value of units received. The warrants expired unexercised on March 10, 2026, resulting in the recognition of a loss of $0.5 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.
On March 27, 2025, the Company participated in two private placement offerings by Canadian Gold (TSX-V: CGC), acquiring 8,823,529 common shares and 2,941,176 units for a total investment of $1.4 million. Each unit consists of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of C$0.22 per share up to March 27, 2026. Following the closing, as at March 27, 2025, the Company held an approximate 6% ownership interest in Canadian Gold. The Company recognized a day one gain of $0.5 million on the difference between the transaction price and fair value of units received. The warrants expired unexercised upon acquisition of Canadian Gold on January 5, 2026, resulting in the recognition of a loss of $0.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.
On April 28, 2025, the Company exercised 9,200,000 warrants of Inventus Mining Corp. (TSX-V: IVS) to acquire an equal number of common shares at an exercise price of C$0.09 per warrant, for total consideration of $0.6 million. In connection with this transaction, the Company also received 9,200,000 additional warrants of Inventus Mining Corp., each entitling the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of C$0.12 per share, expiring on November 6, 2026.
Subsequently, on July 11, 2025, the Company exercised an additional 800,000 warrants of Inventus Mining Corp. to acquire an equal number of common shares at an exercise price of C$0.09 per warrant, for total consideration of approximately $0.1 million.
On February 6, 2026, the Company entered into a loan agreement with McEwen Copper. In connection with this arrangement, McEwen Copper issued 203,280 warrants to acquire an equal number of common shares at an exercise price of $40 per warrant, which were measured at a fair value of $3.4 million upon acquisition.

NOTE 8 MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS AND PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The applicable definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in the Regulation S-K 1300 requirements of the SEC. If proven and probable reserves or economically viable deposits exist at the Company’s properties, the relevant capitalized mineral property interests and asset retirement costs are charged to expense based on the units-of-production method upon commencement of production. The Company’s Gold Bar Mine Complex and San José properties have proven and probable reserves estimated in accordance with Regulation S-K 1300. The mineral properties associated with the Fox Complex include the Froome and Black Fox mines, the Grey Fox deposit, and the Stock property. The Fox Complex is depleted and depreciated using the units-of-production method over the estimated production for the remaining life of the mine, as the project does not have proven and probable reserves that conform to the guidance under Regulation S-K 1300.
The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on a quarterly basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Once it is determined that impairment exists, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no indicators of impairment were noted for any of the Company’s mineral property interests.
NOTE 9 EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS
The Company accounts for investments over which it exerts significant influence but does not control through majority ownership using the equity method of accounting.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company’s investment in MSC exceeded its proportionate share of the underlying net assets by $29.2 million. This basis difference is primarily attributable to mineral property interests and amortized on a unit-of-production basis.
Equity method Investment in Paragon
On December 9, 2025, the Company completed the transaction to acquire 27.32% equity interest in Paragon, a provider of advanced analytical services to the mining industry. The transaction involved a share exchange in which the Company acquired a total of 8,742,880 Paragon shares in exchange for 709,992 common shares of the Company. The total fair value of the transaction was $13.7 million, based on the Company's closing share price of $19.35 per share on December 9, 2025.
The Company's investment in Paragon exceeded its proportionate share of the underlying net assets by $12.5 million. This basis difference is attributable to equity-method goodwill and is not amortized.
Subsequent to the acquisition, on December 15, 2025, an existing shareholder exercised 400,000 warrants to acquire an equivalent number of common shares of Paragon. As a result, the Company’s ownership in Paragon decreased from 27.3% to 27.0%. This reduction in ownership is accounted for as a notional disposition of shares, resulting in a $0.2 million dilution loss.
Due to the timing of the availability of financial information, the Company recognizes its share of the earnings of Paragon on a three-month lag basis. The Company monitors the investee for material intervening events and concluded that no material adjustments were necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Long-term debt
On January 31, 2025, the Company amended its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“ARCA”). The amendments refinanced the outstanding $40.0 million loan and included the following revisions:
The consideration issued for the maintenance, continuation, and extension of the maturity date of the loan was accounted for as debt issuance costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs within long-term debt. These costs are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
16
Following the issuance of the Convertible Notes (as defined below), on February 21, 2025, the Company voluntarily repaid $20.0 million in principal under the ARCA.
Total interest expense related to the term loan for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $0.5 million, at an effective interest rate of 11.16%. This included $0.5 million in interest at the contractual coupon rate of 9.75% and $34 thousand related to the amortization of the debt issuance costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total interest expense related to the term loan was $0.8 million, at an effective interest rate of 11.16% and was comprised of $0.8 million related to the interest coupon at the contractual rate of 9.75% and $26 thousand related to the amortization of the debt issuance costs.
Convertible senior unsecured notes
On February 11, 2025, the Company issued $110.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% convertible senior unsecured notes due 2030 (“Convertible Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, after deducting offering-related costs of $4.2 million and cost of a Capped Call Transaction (defined hereinafter) of $15.1 million, were approximately $90.7 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 5.25%, payable semiannually in arrears on August 15 and February 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2025, and will mature on August 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.
The Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate is 88.9284 shares of common stock per each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.25 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the “Indenture”). The conversion rate may not exceed 115.6069 shares under the terms of the Indenture.
The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time prior to May 15, 2030, only under the following circumstances:
On or after May 15, 2030, until the close of business on the second trading day before the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of prior conditions.
The Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time from August 21, 2028, through the 46th trading day prior to maturity, provided that the Company’s common stock has traded at or above 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the day before the redemption notice. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the notes.
If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change”, as defined in the Indenture, and subject to certain conditions and exceptions, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Indenture contains other customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default. The Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability in its entirety. No portion of the proceeds was attributed to the conversion option, as the embedded feature did not require bifurcation. In connection with the above-noted transaction, the Company incurred approximately $4.2 million in expenses accounted for as debt issuance costs, which were capitalized as deferred costs within long-term debt. These costs are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. The total interest expense related to the Convertible Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $1.6 million at an effective interest rate of 6.33%, and was comprised of $1.4 million related to the contractual interest coupon and $0.2 million related to the amortization of the debt issuance costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total interest expense related to the Convertible Notes was $0.9 million at an effective interest rate of 6.33% and was comprised of $0.8 million related to the contractual interest coupon and $0.1 million related to the amortization of the debt issuance costs.
As of March 31, 2026, the Convertible Notes have a net carrying amount of $106.6 million and an estimated fair value of $227.5 million. The fair value is based on Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Capped call transactions
In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, the Company used approximately $15.1 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap of $17.30. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company and are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes.
As the Capped Call Transactions are freestanding instruments which are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in shareholders’ equity, the premiums paid in the Capped Call Transactions were classified as a reduction to the additional paid-in capital and will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.
NOTE 11 RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION LIABILITIES
The Company is responsible for the reclamation of certain past and future disturbances at its properties. As at March 31, 2026, the reclamation and remediation liability balances at the properties subject to these obligations were $21.1 million at the Gold Bar, Tonkin and Lookout Mountain properties in Nevada, $18.5 million at the Fox Complex and $6.3 million at the El Gallo mine in Mexico (December 31, 2025 – $20.8 million, $18.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively).

Investments in Paragon Advanced Labs Inc.
On December 9, 2025, the Company issued 709,992 common shares in exchange of 8,742,880 Paragon shares. For further information, refer to Note 9 Equity Method Investments.
Investments in Canadian Gold Corp.
On January 5, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Canadian Gold by acquiring all issued and outstanding common shares. Pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement, the Company issued 2,943,766 common shares and 1,526,786 subscription receipts at a deemed price of $19.60 per share, for total consideration of $87.7 million. The number of instruments issued was determined based on an exchange ratio of 0.0225 applied to Canadian Gold shares outstanding. Refer to Note 14 Related Party Transactions and Note 18 Canadian Gold Corp. Acquisition for additional details.
NOTE 13 NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for options and warrants and the if-converted method for the convertible senior unsecured notes. Under the if-converted method, interest expense, net of tax, is added back to net income and the weighted-average shares outstanding are increased by the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes. In applying the treasury stock method, instruments with an exercise price greater than the average quoted market price of the common shares for the period are not included in the calculation, as the impact would be anti-dilutive.
For periods in which the Company has reported a net loss, diluted net loss per share is computed in the same manner as basic net loss per share because potentially dilutive instruments, including the conversion option embedded in the convertible senior unsecured notes, are generally anti-dilutive during such periods.
20
Below is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares and the computations for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:
(amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

Weighted average diluted shares
Diluted net income (loss) per share
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the weighted average number of common shares was increased by 850,705 incremental shares to reflect the impact of dilutive instruments.
Convertible senior unsecured notes were assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period. Accordingly, $1.1 million of interest expense related to the notes, net of tax, was added back to net income, and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was increased by 12,716,759 shares representing the shares issuable upon conversion.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, all outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and share purchase warrants were excluded from the respective computations of diluted loss per share, as the Company was in a loss position, and all potentially dilutive instruments were anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

NOTE 15 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
The hierarchy of fair value measurements assigns a level to fair value measurements based on the inputs used in the respective valuation techniques. The levels of the hierarchy, as defined below, give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
23
● Level 1 is defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company’s Level 1 assets include investments in equity securities, which are exchange-traded and are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.
● Level 2 is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 assets include investments in share purchase warrants with fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and inputs from observable market data, including historic volatility.
● Level 3 is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s Level 3 assets include investments in share purchase warrants of McEwen Copper with fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and unobservable inputs. Significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements developed internally by the Company as of March 31, 2026 included the estimated fair value of McEwen Copper shares of $35 per share.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The fair value measurement of the Company’s convertible senior unsecured notes is presented in Note 10 Debt and is not included in the table above. The carrying value of the term loan approximates its fair value based on its recent refinancing.
The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities were assumed to approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and historically negligible credit losses.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had surety facilities in place to cover its bonding obligations, which include $35.8 million of bonding in Nevada pertaining primarily to the Tonkin and the Gold Bar properties and $13.6 million (C$18.9 million) of bonding in Canada with respect to the Fox Complex.
The terms of the facilities carry an average annual financing fee of 2.4% and require an average deposit of 7.2%. Surety bonds are available for draw-down by the beneficiary in the event the Company does not fulfil its reclamation obligations. If the specific reclamation requirements are met, the beneficiary of the surety bonds will release the instrument to the issuing entity. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements, through existing or alternative means, as they arise. As at March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $4.4 million in restricted cash in non-current assets as a deposit against the surety facility (December 31, 2025 – $4.2 million).
Flow-through eligible expenses
On December 19, 2025, the Company completed a flow-through share issuance for gross proceeds of $5.1 million. The proceeds of this offering will be used for the continued exploration and development of the Company’s properties in the Timmins region of Canada. The Company expects to fulfill its CEE obligations from this offering by the end of 2026.
On January 22, 2026, and January 28, 2026, the Company completed flow-through share issuances for gross proceeds of $7.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The proceeds of this offering will be used for the continued exploration and development of the Company’s properties in the Timmins region of Canada. The Company has fulfilled its obligations related to the January 22, 2026, issuance and expects to meet the remaining CDE obligations by May 31, 2026.
Prepayment agreement
On February 10, 2025, the Company extended the existing precious metals purchase agreement with Auramet International LLC. Key terms of the agreement remained unchanged. Under this agreement, the Company may sell the gold and silver contained in doré bars produced at the Gold Bar Mine Complex, Fox Complex and El Gallo prior to the completion of refining on a Spot Basis, on a Forward Basis, on an In-Process Basis, and Prepayment Basis i.e., the gold is priced and paid for while the gold is:
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received net proceeds of $34.4 million from the sales on a Supplier Advance Basis (three months ended March 31, 2025 – $27.8 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded revenue of $32.6 million related to the gold sales (three months ended March 31, 2025 – $29.8 million) with the remaining $1.8 million representing 400 ounces pledged but not yet delivered to Auramet (March 31, 2025 – $1.5 million representing 500 ounces pledged but not yet delivered) recorded as a contract liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
25
Other potential contingencies
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect public health and the environment, and believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
The Company and its predecessors have transferred their interest in several mining properties to third parties throughout its history. The Company could remain potentially liable for environmental enforcement actions related to its prior ownership of such properties. However, the Company has no reasonable belief that any violation of relevant environmental laws or regulations has occurred regarding these transferred properties.
NOTE 17 INCOME AND MINING TAXES
The Company’s income and mining tax recovery for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, consisted of the following:
Domestic

(1,079)
The income and mining tax recovery for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, varies from the amounts that would have resulted from applying the statutory tax rates to pre-tax income or loss due primarily to the impact of taxation in foreign jurisdictions and the non-recognition of deferred tax assets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company used the annual effective tax rate method to calculate its tax provision. The tax provision also includes discrete adjustments including the amortization of the flow-through shares premium and changes to valuation allowances on various jurisdictions.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the following discussion, “McEwen”, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to McEwen Inc. and, as the context requires, its consolidated subsidiaries.
The discussion also analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and compares those to the results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Regarding properties or projects that are not in production, we provide some details of our plan of operation. We suggest that you read this discussion in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“Annual Report”).
The discussion contains financial performance measures that are not prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”). Each of the following is a non-GAAP measure: cash costs, cash costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”), all-in sustaining cost per ounce, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA per share, and average realized price per ounce. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in running the business and we believe they provide useful information that can be used by investors to evaluate our performance and our ability to generate cash flows. These measures do not have standardized definitions and should not be relied upon in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 and to our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and certain limitations inherent in such measures, see discussion under “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures,” beginning on page 41.
This discussion also includes references to “advanced-stage properties,” which are defined as properties for which advanced studies and reports have been completed indicating the presence of measured, indicated, and inferred resources or proven and probable reserves, or that have obtained or are in the process of obtaining the required permitting. Our designation of certain properties as “advanced-stage properties” should not suggest that we have or ever will have proven or probable reserves at those properties as defined by S-K 1300. This section provides information up to the date of the filing of this report.
Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MDA”), the reporting periods for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 are abbreviated as Q1/26 and Q1/25, respectively. Disclosed gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”) includes gold and silver ounces calculated based on a gold to silver ratio of 58:1 for Q1/26 and 90:1 for Q1/25, based on the average per ounce price of gold and silver during each period.
In this report, “Au” represents gold; “Ag” represents silver; “oz” represents troy ounce; “t” represents metric tonne; “g/t” represents grams per metric tonne; “ft” represents feet; “m” represents meter; “sq” represents square; and CAD refers to Canadian dollars. All of our financial information is reported in United States (U.S.) dollars unless otherwise noted.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS REVIEW
Revenue from gold and silver sales: During Q1/26, revenue from our 100% owned operations increased by 107% to $74.0 million, from $35.7 million in Q1/25. This was primarily driven by a 21% increase in GEOs sold and a 71% increase in realized gold prices, from $2,803 per GEO in Q1/25 to $4,792 per GEO in Q1/26.
Production costs applicable to sales: During Q1/26, production costs applicable to sales increased by 82% to $35.6 million from $19.6 million in Q1/25. The increase was primarily driven by $10.3 million in higher operating costs at the Gold Bar Mine Complex due to costs associated with stripping activities at Pick III, which were previously capitalized in Q1/25 prior to reaching commercial production levels. At the Fox Complex, the increase in operating costs was primarily driven by an 11% increase in GEOs sold during the period along with higher waste tonnes mined as Froome reaches the end of its mine life.
Advanced project costs were $4.8 million in Q1/26, a $3.1 million increase compared to Q1/25. This increase was primarily attributable to the commencement of our Grey Fox project.
Exploration costs were $5.5 million in Q1/26, compared to $3.7 million in Q1/25. At the Fox Complex, $1.4 million was spent primarily on diamond drilling at the Gibson area of the Grey Fox project. At the Tartan Mine Project, $1.0 million was spent on drilling aimed to expand the Main Zone and for the preparation of a technical report summary. At the Gold Bar Mine Complex, $3.1 million was spent on infill drill programs for operational areas, as well as exploration drilling at the Windfall and Lookout Mountain projects.
Income from equity method investments: During Q1/26, we recorded an income of $30.3 million from its equity method investments, compared to a loss of $8.1 million in Q1/25. This amount represents the Company’s proportionate share of the results of MSC, McEwen Copper, and Paragon. Details of operating results of the Company’s equity method investees are presented in the “Operations Review” section of this MDA and Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
General and administrative expenses: During Q1/26, we incurred $9.5 million in general and administrative expenses compared to $3.4 million in Q1/25. The increase was primarily attributable to a $4.0 million increase in fees paid for professional services, as well as $0.9 million higher acquisition and financing costs.
Interest and other finance expenses, net: Interest and other finance expenses totaled $1.5 million in Q1/26, a $0.2 million increase from $1.3 million in Q1/25. These changes reflect the increase in monthly interest payments on the Company’s higher outstanding debt.
Other income (expense): During Q1/26, we incurred $6.3 million in other expenses, compared to an income of $1.6 million in Q1/25. The $7.9 million decrease was primarily driven by unrealized losses on marketable securities.
Income and mining tax recovery: During Q1/26, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $0.2 million, compared to a recovery of $1.1 million in Q1/25. The current period recovery primarily reflects flow-through share premium amortization of $0.8 million, partially offset by $0.5 million of deferred income and mining tax expense.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance increased by $5.7 million during Q1/26, from $55.3 million as at December 31, 2025, to $60.9 million as at March 31, 2026.
Cash provided by operating activities of $12.1 million during Q1/26 reflects the net income of $33.4 million for the period and $8.8 million in dividends received from MSC, adjusted for non-cash impacts, including net income from equity method investments of $30.3 million, depreciation, amortization, and depletion of $7.1 million, unrealized loss on marketable securities of $5.2 million, flow-through premium amortization of $0.8 million, and $14.2 million in changes in non-cash working capital. Further details are provided in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Cash used in investing activities of $21.0 million during Q1/26 primarily consisted of cash additions to mineral property interests, plant and equipment of $14.6 million and a loan provided to McEwen Copper of $7.5 million, partially offset by cash provided by other investing activities of $1.0 million.
Cash provided by financing activities of $14.5 million during Q1/26 consisted of $14.8 million proceeds from issuance of flow through common shares partially offset by a $0.3 million repayment of finance lease obligations.
Working capital as at March 31, 2026, was $13.2 million, a $30.9 million decrease from $44.1 million as at December 31, 2025. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by a $31.2 million increase in consideration payable for the Canadian Gold acquisition, a $7.6 million decrease in marketable securities, a $2.8 million increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, a $3.0 million increase in current portion of long-term debt, a $0.5 million increase in tax liabilities, partially offset by a $5.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $4.5 million increase in inventory, and a $5.7 million decrease in contract liability.
The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity along with funds generated from ongoing operations to fund anticipated cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures and working capital purposes for the next 12 months and beyond. See Note 10, Debt, Note 11, Reclamation and Remediation Liabilities, and Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further details regarding our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations.

Q1/26 compared to Q1/25
The Gold Bar Mine produced 7,884 GEOs in Q1/26, representing a 3% increase from 7,688 GEOs produced in Q1/25 driven by higher mined and stacked tonnes. Operational activities in Q1/26 focused on continued mining at the Pick III deposit, supported by definition drilling ahead of mining to optimize mine planning and confirm the updated mine model.
Revenue from gold and silver sales was $37.7 million in Q1/26, an increase from $22.4 million in Q1/25. The $15.3 million increase was primarily attributable to a higher average realized price of $4,792 per GEO in Q1/26, compared to $2,803 per GEO in Q1/25.
Production costs applicable to sales were $19.4 million in Q1/26, an increase of $10.3 million from $9.1 million in Q1/25. This increase was primarily driven by costs associated with stripping activities at Pick III, which were previously capitalized in Q1/25 prior to reaching commercial production levels.
Cash costs and AISC per GEO sold in Q1/26 were $2,460 and $2,705 respectively, compared to $1,146 and $2,197 in Q1/25, respectively. The increase in cash costs, and a corresponding increase in AISC, was primarily driven by higher mining costs at the Pick III deposit relative to Gold Bar South, which was mined in Q1/25.
During Q1/26, exploration activities were focused on Windfall and Lookout Mountain. The primary exploration activity consisted of drilling at Windfall which commenced in Q1/26 with a core drill for metallurgical sampling. The results will be used to help generate targets for 2026 exploration. Land Management activities are being performed to survey claims at Windfall and Lookout Mountain to define claim boundaries. In addition, an updated technical report incorporating the results of recent land management activities and updated geological and operational information is expected to be released in H2/26.
The Canada segment is comprised of the Fox Complex, which currently includes our Froome underground gold mine (including the Froome West deposit); the Stock Mine (consisting of the West, East and Main zones); the Stock mill; the Grey Fox exploration project; and a number of exploration and other properties located near the city of Timmins, Ontario. The Canada segment also comprises of the Tartan Mine Project located in Flin Flon, Manitoba which is an exploration project within the Flin Flon Greenstone belt.

Stock Project
During Q1/26, the Company invested $9.9 million in the Stock project, with development activities progressed in line with the Company’s 2026 mine development plan. Activities during the period included upgrades to ventilation and air heating systems and enhancements to underground readiness. Site construction also progressed across key infrastructure, including shaft electrical power distribution, installation of automation and control systems, development of the Stock West and East haulage ramps, dewatering of the Stock mine shaft, and equipment selection for production and development activities. Pre-commercial production is expected to commence in Q4/26, with commercial production anticipated in Q2/27.
The Fox Complex produced 5,784 GEOs from the Froome mine in Q1/26, reflecting a 5% increase from the 5,520 GEOs produced in Q1/25. The increase was driven by an optimized mine plan and higher mined and processed grades of approximately 40%. As of March 31, 2026, all development activities at Froome Main were completed in accordance with the mine plan, with production beginning in late Q3/26 for Froome West.
Revenue from gold sales was $25.3 million for Q1/26, compared to $13.3 million for Q1/25. This increase of 90% was primarily driven by a 71% increase in the average realized gold price, and an 11% increase in GEOs sold.
Production costs applicable to sales were $14.7 million in Q1/26, compared to $10.5 million in Q1/25, reflecting an 11% increase in GEOs sold and $1.7 million in higher costs associated with externally sourced material processed.
Cash costs and AISC per GEO sold were $2,365 and $3,148 for Q1/26, respectively, compared to $2,061 and $2,504 for Q1/25. The increase in unit costs was primarily driven by higher production costs discussed above, as well as a $2.0 million increase in sustaining mining development at Froome West.
We completed 18,700 feet (5,700 meters) of drilling at our Grey Fox deposit during Q1/26 at a cost of $1.4 million in exploration expenditures. This drilling was designed to support continued resource growth at Grey Fox post Pre-Feasibility Study which is anticipated to be published in Q2/26. Priority areas were the Gibson and Whiskey Jack zones which propose early mining horizons during the initial phases of the Grey Fox project.
The Tartan Mine Project is located in Flin Flon, Manitoba and was acquired as part of our Canadian Gold acquisition completed on January 5, 2026.
During Q1/26, a total of $1.0 million was incurred at the Tartan Mine Project to advance drilling, permitting, metallurgical testing to optimize both process plant designs and underground mine plans, and engineering studies.
The Mexico segment consists of El Gallo, located in Sinaloa state.
El Gallo HLM
We have reached a construction decision for the Phase 1 heap leach material reprocessing project contemplated in our Feasibility Study (previously described as the Fenix project). In December 2025, the Company was granted the extension of its Environmental Impact Assessment (Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental) from the Mexican government. The Company is currently proceeding with the final detailed engineering plan for the mill, which has been purchased and is onsite. We anticipate beginning construction mid-2026, with production commencing mid-2027.
Phase 1 is expected to produce for 10 years, producing approximately 20,000 GEOs annually once commercial production is achieved. Production will come from the reprocessing of the material currently on the leach pad, through a ball mill with an operating plan optimized for cash flow and recovery. Remaining capital costs to complete construction are estimated at $25 million. Since the material that will be processed has been previously leached, there will be no significant development or exploration costs anticipated.
Minera Santa Cruz Segment, Argentina
The Minera Santa Cruz Segment consists of a 49% interest in the San José mine, located in Santa Cruz, Argentina. Hochschild is the majority owner and operator of the San José mine.

The analysis below compares the operating and financial results of MSC on a 100% basis.
On a 100% basis, the San José mine produced 29,759 GEOs in Q1/26, compared to 22,294 GEOs in Q1/25. The increase in Q1/26 was primarily due to a 20% increase in processed mineralized material and a more favorable gold-to-silver ratio of 58:1 compared to 90:1 in Q1/25.
Revenue from gold and silver sales was $185.5 million in Q1/26, compared to $71.9 million in Q1/25. This increase was primarily driven by 65% and 151% higher realized gold and silver prices, respectively, and a 60% increase in GEOs sold.
Production costs applicable to sales were $77.7 million in Q1/26, compared to $56.6 million in Q1/25. Cost increases during Q1/26 were largely attributable to high inflation in the Argentine market, which outpaced the government-controlled depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar. This resulted in higher real costs for expenses denominated in local currency.
Cash costs and AISC per GEO sold were $2,365 and $2,704 in Q1/26, respectively, compared to $2,575 and $3,047 in Q1/25. The decrease in both cash costs and AISC in Q1/26 was primarily due to a 50% increase in GEOs sold, partially offset by 38% higher production costs, as noted above.
Investment in MSC
Our 49% attributable share of operations from our investment in MSC in Q1/26 resulted in an income of $32.7 million, compared to an income of $0.5 million in Q1/25. Despite higher than planned unit costs arising from negative macroeconomic factors, the metal price environment has allowed the operation to strengthen its liquidity, improving its working capital balance to $233.3 million as at March 31, 2026, compared to $182.8 million as of December 31, 2025.
MSC Dividend Distribution (49%)
We received $8.8 million in dividends from MSC for Q1/26 compared to $2.2 million in Q1/25. Further, the Company is expected to receive $10.0 million in each quarter for the remainder of 2026 from excess cash after considering reclamation and closure costs.
We own a 46.3% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns a 100% interest in the Los Azules copper project in San Juan, Argentina, and the Elder Creek exploration project in Nevada, USA. We have invested over $426.4 million in exploration expenditures to develop Los Azules into a world-class copper deposit, including amounts spent by Minera Andes Inc. before 2012 and directly by McEwen Inc. prior to 2021.
Los Azules, San Juan, Argentina
As of March 31, 2026, we own a 46.3% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns a 100% interest in the Los Azules copper project in San Juan, Argentina, and the Elder Creek exploration project in Nevada, USA. Including amounts spent by Minera Andes Inc. prior to 2012, and directly by McEwen Inc. prior to 2021, we have invested over $430 million in exploration expenditures to develop Los Azules as a world-class copper deposit.
In Q4/25, McEwen Copper achieved a key milestone by completing the Feasibility Study and associated reserve estimate for the project. The Feasibility Study established mineral reserves and resources, with proven and probable reserves totaling 10.2 billion pounds of copper based on a copper price of $4.25 per pound. Mineral resources, comprising 5.4 billion pounds of measured and indicated copper and 20.0 billion pounds of inferred copper, were estimated using a copper price of $4.80 per pound
Since 2021, McEwen Copper has been advancing Los Azules through significant additional drilling, numerous studies, social consultation, and permitting. Equipped with the results from the Feasibility Study and key government approvals, McEwen Copper will continue developing the Los Azules project in subsequent periods.
Los Azules Exploration
Field exploration activities at Los Azules identified four additional deposits near the Los Azules deposit which could extend the mine life beyond existing project plans. The four targets consist of Tango, Porfido Norte, Franca, and Mercedes, which are porphyry deposits that have potential for hypogene mineralization.
Preliminary drilling of newly identified targets is expected to commence later in 2026. In parallel, refinement of geological mapping and surface sampling across all target areas is ongoing and will continue into the next field season. This work is expected to significantly improve drill targeting accuracy.
Regime of Incentive for Investments (“RIGI”)
On September 26, 2025, McEwen Copper received RIGI approval following an extensive technical application process. RIGI approval entitles the Los Azules project to a series of tax and regulatory benefits, including a reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 25%, exemption from sales tax during the construction phase, elimination of export duties, and exemption from the obligation to repatriate export revenues. Additionally, the project benefits from a 30-year fiscal stability guarantee and access to international arbitration for dispute resolution. The Government of Argentina established the RIGI program to support and incentivize foreign investment across various industries, including mining.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 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 the most directly comparable 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 GAAP information used for the reconciliation to the non-GAAP measures for our minority interest in the San José mine may be found in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 9, Equity Method Investments. 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 mine, has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations include:
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 used by the mining industry provide investors and analysts with useful information about our underlying costs of operations.
Cash costs consist of mining, processing, onsite 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:
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 expense, all corporate financing charges, costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions and asset disposals, impairment charges and any items that are deducted for the purpose of normalizing items.

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 gold operations in production, including the San José mine; 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 income (loss) before income and mining taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back McEwen Copper's and Paragon’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:

Average realized price per ounce
The term average realized price per ounce used in this report is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We prepare this measure to evaluate our performance against the market (London P.M. Fix). The average realized price for our 100% owned properties is calculated as gross sales of gold and silver, less streaming revenue, divided by the number of net ounces sold in the period, less ounces sold under streaming agreements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies and estimates used to prepare our financial statements are discussed with our Audit Committee as they are implemented on an annual basis.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (as amended, the “Annual Report”). For further details on the Company’s accounting policies and estimates, refer to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements”, as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others:
These statements may be made expressly in this document or may be incorporated by reference to other documents that we will file with the SEC. Many of these statements can be found by looking for words such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions used in this report or incorporated by reference in this report, but the absence of these terms does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements and information are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies, and there can be no assurance that such statements and information will prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and information.
Included among the forward-looking statements and information that we may provide is production guidance. From time to time the Company provides guidance on operations, based on stand-alone budgets for each operating mine. In developing the mine production portion of the budget, we evaluate a number of factors and assumptions, which include, but are not limited to:
Actual production results are sensitive to variances in any of the key factors and assumptions noted above. As a result, we frequently evaluate and reconcile actual results to budgeted results to determine if key assumptions and estimates require modification. Any changes will, in turn, influence production guidance.
We caution you not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Further, the forward-looking information contained in this document or incorporated herein by reference is a statement of our present intention and is based on present facts and assumptions, and may change at any time and without notice, based on changes in such facts or assumptions. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
45
RISK FACTORS IMPACTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Important factors that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals and objectives include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other reports filed with the SEC, and the following:
We undertake no responsibility or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, except as required by law and may update these statements in the future in written or oral statements. Investors should take note of any future statements made by or on our behalf.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risks includes, but is not limited to, the following risks: changes in foreign currency exchange rates, equity price risks, commodity price fluctuations, credit risk, interest rate risk and inflationary risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk.
Further, our participation in the joint venture with Hochschild for the 49.0% interest held at MSC and our 46.3% ownership in McEwen Copper as of March 31, 2026, creates additional risks because, among other things, we do not exercise decision-making power over the day-to-day activities at MSC or McEwen Copper; however, implications from our partner’s decisions may result in us having to provide additional funding to MSC or McEwen Copper, or result in a further decrease in our percentage of ownership.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks directly through exposure to the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar, and indirectly through exposure to the Argentine peso through our investments in MSC and McEwen Copper.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso depreciated by 1.6% and 0.1%, respectively, while the Argentine peso appreciated by 5.5% against the U.S. dollar. In the same period of 2025, the Canadian dollar appreciated by 0.2% while the Mexican peso and Argentine peso depreciated by 1.0% and 3.9% respectively, against the U.S. dollar.
The value of cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies also fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. Appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies results in a foreign currency gain on such investments and a depreciation in non-U.S. dollar currencies results in a loss. We hold portions of our cash reserves in non-U.S. dollar currencies.
Our Canadian dollar and Mexican peso cash balances were $1.7 million (CAD $2.5 million) and $0.5 million (MXN $9.6 million), respectively, as at March 31, 2026. The effect that a 1.0% change in these respective currencies would result in gains/losses that are immaterial for disclosure. We have not utilized material market risk-sensitive instruments to manage our exposure to the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso exchange rates but may do so in the future.
Equity Price Risk
We have invested and may continue to invest in shares of common stock of other entities in the mining sector. Some of our investments may be highly volatile and lack liquidity caused by lower trading volumes. As a result, we are inherently exposed to fluctuations in the fair value of our investments, which may result in gains or losses upon their valuation. Based on the marketable securities balance of $13.5 million as at March 31, 2026, a 1.0% change in fair value would result in a gain or loss of approximately $0.1 million.
We have in the past sought and will likely in the future seek to acquire additional funding from the sale of common stock or other equity securities. Movements in the price of our investments have been volatile in the past and may also be volatile in the future. As a result, there is a risk that we may not be able to sell equity securities at an acceptable price to meet future funding requirements.
In February 2025, we raised gross proceeds of $110.0 million through the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes due August 15, 2030, as further described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. In connection with the offering, we entered into separate Capped Call Transactions intended to offset potential dilution upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. These transactions, which are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, cover the aggregate number of shares of common stock initially underlying the Convertible Notes.
Commodity Price Risk
We produce and sell gold and silver. Changes in the market price of gold and silver have and will in the future significantly affect the results of our operations and cash flows. Changes in the price of gold and silver could materially affect our revenues. Based on our revenues from gold and silver sales of $74.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a 10% change in the price of gold and silver would have had an impact of approximately $7.4 million on our revenues. Changes in the price of gold and silver can also affect the provisionally priced sales that we make under sales agreements. At March 31, 2026, we had no gold or silver sales subject to provisional pricing at our 100% owned operations.
We have in the past and may in the future hold a portion of our treasury in gold and silver bullion, where the value is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Gold and silver prices will affect the value of any bullion that we hold in treasury.
We do not hedge any of our sales and are therefore subject to all changes in commodity prices.
Credit Risk
We may be exposed to credit loss through our precious metals and doré sales agreements with financial institutions and refineries if these customers are unable to make payment in accordance with the terms of the agreements. However, based on the history and the financial condition of our counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of our customers will default on their obligations. As of March 31, 2026, we do not believe we have any significant credit exposure associated with precious metals and our doré sales agreements.
In Nevada and Ontario, Canada we are required to provide security to cover our projected reclamation costs. As at March 31, 2026, we have surety bonds of $49.4 million in place to satisfy bonding requirements for this purpose. The bonds have an annual fee of 2.4% of their value and require a deposit of 7.2% of the amount of the bond. Although we do not believe we have any significant credit exposure associated with these bonds or the deposit, we are exposed to the risk that the surety may default in returning our deposit or that the surety bonds may no longer be accepted by the governmental agencies as satisfactory reclamation coverage, in which case we would be required to replace the surety bonding with cash.
Interest Rate Risk
Our outstanding debt consists of the $110.0 million Convertible Notes due 2030, the $20.0 million term loan facility, and various equipment leases. As the Convertible Notes and term loan have fixed coupons, we do not have any significant exposure to interest rate risks.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Overview
We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
During the fiscal period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that,as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on Controls and Procedures
All disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting processes and systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Processes and systems deemed to be effective at any time can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where deemed appropriate, its procedures and controls.
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. To the best of our knowledge, no such proceeding is threatened, the results of which would have a material impact on our properties, results of operations, or financial condition. Nor, to the best of our knowledge, are any of our officers or directors involved in any legal proceedings in which we are an adverse party.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There were no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report. The risks described in our Annual Report, herein and other reports we have filed with the SEC are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or future results.
Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
All unregistered sales of equity securities effected by the Company or a subsidiary thereof during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and through the date of filing of this report were previously reported in reports the Company has filed with the SEC.
Item 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
At McEwen Inc., safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe operations, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. Based on strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at McEwen Inc., ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
The operation of our Gold Bar Mine Complex are subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our projects and mine on a regular basis and may issue citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. While we assign most of the mining operations at the Gold Bar mine to an independent contractor, we may be considered an “operator” for purposes of the Mine Act and may be issued notices or citations if MSHA believes that we are responsible for violations.
We are required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 filed with this report.
