THE COMPANY
McEwen Mining is a diversified precious metals producer and explorer with operations in
Ontario, Nevada, Mexico and Argentina, and also owns a sizeable, underdeveloped copper
deposit in Argentina. The company has approximately 400 million shares outstanding with a
market capital of over $500 million.

base of $165 million. He is the founder and former CEO of Goldcorp Inc., one of the largest gold
producers in the world, operating in multiple continents and countries globally. During his time
at Goldcorp, he brought shockwaves through the mining industry through the launch of his
famous ‘Goldcorp Challenge’ in 2000, the first instance of incentivized outsourcing, whereby he
shared the company’s proprietary geological data in order to outsource the company’s gold
prospecting. During the last thirteen years of Rob’s CEO tenure at Goldcorp, the company’s
market capital grew from $50 million to over $8 billion and its share price grew at a compound
annual rate of 31% by the time Rob exited the business in 2005.

Mexico (El Gallo Gold mine and El Gallo Silver project), Nevada, USA (Gold Bar project),
Timmins, Canada (Fox Complex) and San Juan, Argentina (Los Azules copper project).
