MUX Past Challenges • Lack of definition drilling and a grade control block model • Did not follow the feasibility study and mine plan • Too much clay in ore blend exacerbated by wet winter conditions • Pushed tonnage & clay beyond plant capacity – resulted in inefficient mining, excessive downtime & maintenance, poor process controls and higher costs • Process plant deficiencies • Reactive ore control including a lack of blast movement monitoring • Gaps in organizational structure, processes, systems and asset management Gold Bar Operations – Start Up Review Gold Bar Nevada

 

 

MUX Gold Bar Operations – Become Profitable Turnaround Started & On - Track Q3 2020 x Operational review of people, processes, systems and assets x Preliminary resource model, pit optimization & 18 month mine plan x Improved clay blending and stockpile management x Crewed up and operating at 3000 TPD on dayshift – Ore and process control improvements – Resume full operations in August and then ramp up production - mining cycle improvements – New asset management strategy and expect further reductions to downtime – Resource model update and reserve update in Q4 QUALITY + EFFICIENCY + COSTS = CASHFLOW Gold Bar Nevada

MUX Froome – Planned Production Q4 2021 Froome vs Black Fox Important Advantages: • Shallower deposit, suited for low cost, productive ‘bulk mining’ and not beneath the pit • More consistent grades and continuity in a wide disseminated style mineralization • Wider expected mining widths ranging from 15 - 40 m for most of the deposit • Larger stopes = more efficient underground development & mine sequencing • Lower gradient & straighter ramp = more efficient haulage and reduced underground congestion • Fair to Good ground conditions expected to be positive for dilution & grade control Section Looking North July 15 th Development Progress Portals Black Fox Open Pit Surface Froome Deposit

MUX Appendix: Cautionary Note Regarding NON - GAAP Measures In this presentation, we have provided information prepared or calculated according to U . S . GAAP, as well as provided some non - U . S . GAAP ("non - GAAP") performance measures . Because the non - GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U . S . GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies . Total Cash Costs per GEO, and All - in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per GEO . Total cash costs consist of mining, processing, on - site general and administrative costs, community and permitting costs related to current explorations, royalty costs, refining and treatment charges (for both doré and concentrate products), sales costs, export taxes and operational stripping costs . All - in sustaining cash costs consist of total cash costs (as described above), plus environmental rehabilitation costs, amortization of the asset retirement costs related to operating sites, sustaining exploration and development costs, and sustaining capital expenditures . In order to arrive at our consolidated all - in sustaining costs, we also include corporate general and administrative expenses . Depreciation is excluded from both total cash costs and all - in sustaining cash costs . For both total cash costs and all - in sustaining costs we include our attributable share of total cash costs from operations where we hold less than a 100 % economic share in the production, such as MSC, where we hold a 49 % interest . Total cash cost and all - in sustaining cash cost per GEO sold are calculated on a co - product basis by dividing the respective proportionate share of the total cash costs and all - in sustaining cash costs for the period attributable to each metal by the ounces of each respective metal sold . We use and report these measures to provide additional information regarding operational efficiencies both on a consolidated and an individual mine basis, and believe that these measures provide investors and analysts with useful information about our underlying costs of operations . A reconciliation to the nearest U . S . GAAP measure is provided in McEwen Mining's Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2019 . Earnings from Mining Operations The term Earnings from Mining Operations used in this presentation is a non - GAAP financial measure . We use and report this measure because we believe it provides investors and analysts with a useful measure of the underlying earnings from our mining operations . We define Earnings from Mining Operations as Gold and Silver Revenues from our El Gallo Mine, Black Fox Mine, and our 49 % attributable share of the San José Mine's Net Sales, less their respective Production Costs Applicable to Sales . To the extent that Production Costs Applicable to Sales may include depreciation and amortization expense related to the fair value increments on historical business acquisitions (fair value paid in excess of the carrying value of the underlying assets and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition), we deduct this expense in order to arrive at Production Costs Applicable to Sales that only include depreciation and amortization expense incurred at the mine - site level . The San José Mine Net Sales and Production Costs Applicable to Sales are presented, on a 100 % basis, in Note 5 of McEwen Mining's Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2019 . Cash, Investments and Precious Metals The term cash, investments and precious metals used in this presentation is a non - GAAP financial measure . We report this measure to better understand our liquidity in each reporting period . Cash, investments and precious metals is calculated as the sum of cash, investments and ounces of doré held in inventory, valued at the London P . M . Fix spot price at the corresponding period . A reconciliation to the most directly comparable U . S . GAAP measure, Sales of Gold and Silver, is provided in McEwen Mining's Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2019 .
