McEwen Mining Inc., a precious metals producer with gold and silver operations across the Americas and strategic exposure to copper, has earned recognition within IBN's BillionDollarClub. The inclusion reflects the company's more than $1 billion market capitalization and established presence in the global mining sector, highlighting its diversified asset base, active trading liquidity, and long-term growth strategy anchored by producing mines, development-stage projects, and its significant interest in McEwen Copper.
The company's operations are located in prolific mineral-rich regions, including the Cortez Trend in Nevada, the Timmins district of Ontario, and the Deseado Massif in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. McEwen is also considering reactivating a gold and silver mine in Mexico. This geographic diversification provides operational stability and exposure to multiple mining jurisdictions, which is important for investors seeking balanced risk in the resource sector.
A key component of McEwen's growth strategy is its 46.4% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the large, long-life, advanced-stage Los Azules copper development project in San Juan province, Argentina. According to the last financing for McEwen Copper, the implied value of McEwen's ownership interest is US$456 million. The Los Azules project is designed to be one of the world's first regenerative copper mines and carbon neutral by 2038, with Feasibility Study results announced in a press release dated October 7, 2025. This positions the company at the intersection of traditional resource extraction and evolving environmental standards, which could influence industry practices.
Leadership alignment distinguishes McEwen Mining, with founder and Chairman Rob McEwen owning approximately 15% of the company and having invested more than $200 million personally. He takes a salary of $1 per year, aligning his interests with shareholders. McEwen's objective is to build the company's profitability, share value and eventually implement a dividend policy, as he did while building Goldcorp Inc. This level of insider investment signals confidence in the company's direction and reduces agency concerns that can affect shareholder returns.
The BillionDollarClub recognition matters because it signals McEwen Mining's scale and visibility within the investment community.
