Exhibit 99.1
McEWEN MINING: Q3 2024 RESULTS
TORONTO, November 5th,
2024 - McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) today released its financial and operational results for the third quarter
ended September 30, 2024 (“Q3”). The Company achieved significant improvements in revenue and operating profitability,
driven by higher gold prices and strong production. The results reflect McEwen Mining’s ongoing commitment to expanding gold and
silver production, advancing its large copper project and robust investment in exploration programs.
Financial Highlights (Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023)
· | Revenue
increased 36% to $52.3 million due to higher realized gold prices and an increase in
gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) produced for our 100%-owned mines. Average gold price sold
was $2,499 per ounce in Q3 vs $1,920 in Q3 2023. |
· | Gross
profit increased 268% to $13.8 million due to higher gold prices, improved operational
efficiencies and higher production. |
· | Net
loss significantly decreased to $2.1 million or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss
of $18.5 million or $(0.39) per share in Q3 2023, reflecting the Company’s focused
efforts on cost controls and lower expenditures at the Los Azules copper project. |
· | Operating
cash flow increased to $23.2 million or $0.45 per share, compared to negative operating
cash flow of $2.3 million or $(0.04) per share in Q3 2023, primarily reflecting the improvement
in gross profit above. |
· | Adjusted
EBITDA(1) increased 586% to $10.5 million or $0.20 per share, compared
to $1.5 million or $0.03 per share in Q3 2023. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of McEwen
Copper’s results and reflects the operating earnings of our mining assets, including
the San José mine. This measure underscores McEwen Mining’s success in improving
cash flow and operating performance across its production portfolio. |
Operational Highlights
· | Gold
Bar Mine, Nevada: Production reached 13,640 oz Au(1) in Q3, a
43% increase compared to the same period in 2023, driven by higher gold grades and improved
recovery rates. The site is on track to meet its annual production guidance of 40,000 to
43,000 oz Au. |
· | Fox
Complex, Canada: Production totaled 7,855 oz Au(1) down 30% year-over-year,
impacted by a temporary shortfall in development due to a stope failure in Q2 2024 that limited
stope availability. However, the Company anticipates enhanced stope availability in Q4 2024,
which will support increased production. The Fox Complex is expected to produce approximately
15-20% fewer ounces compared to its annual guidance of 40,000 to 42,000 oz Au. |

|
· | San
José Mine, Argentina: The 49% share of production from the San José Mine
in Argentina was 13,684 GEOs(1)(3). Lower than anticipated grades
contributed to a 23% decrease from Q3 2023. Nevertheless, Hochschild plc, as operator of
the San José mine, expects to achieve its annual guidance for San José, which
stands at 50,000 to 60,000 GEOs for McEwen Mining’s attributable share. The improved
metal price environment has allowed the San José mine to build a strong liquidity
position, with an increase of $40.4 million in working capital from $34.1 million at September 30,
2023 to $75.5 million at September 30, 2024, while also investing $8.5 million in exploration
and $3.5 million in expanding the mill during 2024. |

Corporate Developments
McEwen Copper recently raised $56 million at
$30 per share to fund the ongoing development of its Los Azules copper project in Argentina. Of the total raised, $14 million was contributed
by McEwen Mining, $5 million by Rob McEwen, $35 million by Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto venture, and $2 million by two individual investors.
Following these investments, McEwen Mining’s ownership in McEwen Copper now stands at 46.4% and the post-money market value of
McEwen Copper is now $984 million. Over $350 million have been invested in exploration to develop Los Azules as a world-class copper
deposit, including amounts spent by Minera Andes Inc. until 2012 and McEwen Mining until 2021.
McEwen Mining completed the acquisition of Timberline
Resources in August, thereby expanding our exploration and potential production footprint in Nevada. This acquisition includes three
properties in Nevada: Eureka, which is close to our Gold Bar Mine, and contains an oxide gold resource of 423,000 oz (Measured and Indicated)
and 84,000 oz (Inferred) plus attractive exploration targets; Paiute, which is adjacent to McEwen Copper’s Elder Creek project;
and Seven Troughs, which is purported to host the highest grade historical gold mine in the State of Nevada(4), with production
starting from 1907. All represent opportunities for long-term growth.
Exploration and Development Investments Driving
Future Growth
The investment in exploration and development
continued in the quarter with $6.1 million on the Los Azules copper project and $5.3 million across Gold Bar and Fox Complex. Activities
during the quarter were:
· | Los
Azules Copper Project, Argentina: Our flagship copper development project is moving steadily
towards completion of the feasibility study scheduled for publication in the first half of
2025. The latest private placement funding of $56 million will allow McEwen Copper to complete
this study. Additional funding will support other initiatives, including discovery-oriented
exploration programs. |
· | Gold
Bar Mine, Nevada: Exploration activities are focused on near-mine drilling, aimed at
extending the mine life and identifying new resource areas. A mine plan is in place to extend
production from Gold Bar into 2029, and additional opportunities at the Eureka property,
obtained through the Timberline acquisition, could potentially contribute to production beginning
in 2027, depending on permitting and exploration outcomes. |

· | Fox
Complex, Canada: During the first nine months (9M) of 2024, $5.5 million was invested
developing our Stock project at the Fox Complex. Earthworks have been completed in preparation
for our mine portal construction later in 2024, with the intent of driving a ramp connecting
the Stock East, Stock Main and Stock West zones. Rehabilitation of the historic Stock shaft
is being considered to provide alternative means of accessing these zones to facilitate increased
production. |
Individual Mine
Performance (See Table 1):
Gold Bar production
increased 43% to 13,640 oz Au(1) in Q3, compared to 9,507 oz Au in Q3 2023 due to higher mined
grades and recovery rates. During 9M 2024, gold production was 37,654 oz Au and the mine remains on track to meet annual costs per ounce
guidance and production of 40,000 to 43,000 oz Au.
Cash costs and AISC per GEO sold(2) in
Q3 were $1,281 and $1,822, respectively, due to higher planned stripping costs in the quarter. Operations are expected to deliver on
full-year cost guidance.

Fox gold production
was 7,855 oz Au(1), a 30% decrease compared to 11,174 oz Au in Q3 2023 due to a stope failure in Q2 2024, which
led to a shortfall in development and limited stope availability during the quarter. During 9M 2024, gold production was 23,600 oz Au
vs 34,200 oz Au in 9M 2023. While stope availability is expected to improve during Q4 2024, resulting in higher gold production compared
to prior quarters in 2024, annual production is projected to be 15-20% below our guidance of 40,000 to 42,000 oz Au.
Cash costs and AISC per GEO sold(2) in
Q3 were $1,572 and $1,953, respectively. Accelerated development costs to improve stope availability for Q4 2024 increased unit costs
during the third quarter. While we expect production to improve in the fourth quarter, including by adding new production from our Black
Fox mine, we expect unit costs to be 15 to 20% higher than guidance.

San José’s
attributable production was 13,684 GEOs, a 23% decrease from 17,798 GEOs in Q3 2023. Production was impacted by lower gold
and silver grades mined. Production is expected to increase during Q4 2024. During 9M 2024, 41,290 attributable GEOs were produced. Hochschild
Mining, our joint venture partner and mine operator, asserts that the mine remains on track to meet annual production guidance, with
our attributable portion at 50,000 to 60,000 GEOs.

Cash costs per GEO sold(2) in
Q3 was $2,173 and AISC per GEO sold was $2,675. While cost inflation remained high from an Argentine perspective, the relative strength
of the Peso against the US Dollar continued to increase costs in US Dollar terms. Combined with temporary lower than expected mined grades,
unit costs were higher than planned. While production is expected to recover in Q4 2024 through mining from new areas, unit costs are
expected to remain above guidance due to macroeconomic factors.

Technical Information
The technical content of this news release related
to financial results, mining and development projects has been reviewed and approved by William (Bill) Shaver, P.Eng., COO of McEwen
Mining and a Qualified Person as defined by SEC S-K 1300 and the Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101 "Standards
of Disclosure for Mineral Projects."
Reliability of Information Regarding San José
Minera Santa Cruz S.A (MSC)., the owner of the
San José Mine, is responsible for and has supplied the Company with all reported results from the San José Mine. McEwen
Mining’s joint venture partner, a subsidiary of Hochschild Mining plc, and its affiliates other than MSC do not accept responsibility
for the use of project data or the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
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 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 mine, 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 costs, cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining
costs, all-in sustaining cost per ounce, adjusted EBITDA and average realized price per ounce
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
used by the mining industry 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:
|
|
|
|
|
McEwen Mining Inc. |

|
|
|
| · | 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 the 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 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.

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 disclose
this metric as 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:

Average realized price
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 the streaming agreement.
The following table reconciles the average realized
prices to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, revenue from gold and silver sales. Ounces of gold and silver sold for
the San José mine are provided to us by MSC.
