McEwen Mining Inc., trading under the ticker MUX on both the NYSE and TSX, has been recognized by IBN's BillionDollarClub, reflecting its market capitalization exceeding $1 billion and established position in the global mining sector. The company operates gold and silver mines across the Americas, including locations in Nevada's Cortez Trend, Ontario's Timmins district, and Argentina's Deseado Massif, while also considering reactivating a mine in Mexico.
The company maintains a 46.4% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the advanced-stage Los Azules copper development project in Argentina's San Juan province. According to the last financing round for McEwen Copper, this ownership interest carries an implied value of $456 million. The Los Azules project is designed to become one of the world's first regenerative copper mines, targeting carbon neutrality by 2038, with feasibility study results announced in October 2025.
Founder and Chairman Rob McEwen, who owns approximately 15% of MUX shares, has personally invested over $200 million in the company and its copper platform while taking an annual salary of $1, creating significant alignment with shareholder interests. McEwen, a recipient of the Order of Canada and member of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame, previously built Goldcorp Inc. and implemented a dividend policy there, indicating similar long-term objectives for McEwen Mining.
For business and technology leaders monitoring resource sectors, McEwen's inclusion in the BillionDollarClub signals several important developments. The company's diversified asset base across producing mines, development projects, and strategic copper exposure provides investors with balanced risk across multiple commodity markets. The regenerative design of the Los Azules copper project represents a forward-looking approach to sustainable mining that could influence industry standards as environmental considerations become increasingly important to investors and regulators.
