McEwen Joins Russell 2000, Boosting Investor Visibility

McEwen (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) has achieved a significant milestone by being added to the Russell 2000(R) Index as part of the June 2026 Russell Reconstitution, effective June 29. This inclusion in the widely followed small-cap index is expected to boost the company's visibility among institutional investors and index-tracking strategies, as it continues to advance its portfolio of gold, silver, and copper assets. Chairman and Chief Owner Rob McEwen emphasized the company's focus on executing growth plans, improving operating performance, and creating long-term shareholder value.

The company's assets include gold and silver mines in prolific regions such as the Cortez Trend in Nevada, the Timmins district of Ontario, and the Deseado Massif in Argentina, along with the reactivation of the El Gallo Mine in Mexico. McEwen also holds a 46.3% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the advanced-stage Los Azules copper development project in Argentina, designed to be one of the world's first regenerative copper mines and carbon neutral by 2038, as detailed in the press release dated October 7, 2025. Additionally, McEwen recently purchased a 27.3% stake in Paragon Advanced Labs Inc., a company deploying PhotonAssay units for assaying precious and base metals.

Rob McEwen, who has invested over US$250 million personally and takes a salary of $1 per year, aligns his interests with shareholders. His goal is to build MUX's profitability, share value, and ultimately implement a dividend policy, similar to his success with Goldcorp Inc.
