McEwen Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) reported a mineral resource estimate for its Tartan Mine Project in Manitoba totaling 308,900 indicated gold ounces and 302,700 inferred gold ounces. The company stated the project supports its goal of reaching 250,000 to 300,000 ounces of annual production by 2030. Initial output at Tartan is expected to average approximately 30,000 ounces per year, with potential expansion to 45,000 to 55,000 ounces annually through increased mill capacity.
The resource estimate reveals additional upside potential through further drilling across multiple zones and adjacent properties. This development occurs alongside ongoing exploration, metallurgical testing, and mine planning initiatives at the site. The announcement positions the Tartan Mine as a contributor to McEwen's broader portfolio of assets in the Americas.
McEwen provides its shareholders with exposure to a growing base of gold and silver production in addition to a large copper development project. The company's gold and silver mines are located in prolific mineral-rich regions, including the Cortez Trend in Nevada, the Timmins district of Ontario, Flin Flon in Manitoba, and the Deseado Massif in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. McEwen is also reactivating its gold-silver El Gallo Mine in Mexico.
A significant portion of McEwen's value is tied to its 46.3% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the 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 (US$7.67 per share). The Los Azules project is designed to be one of the world's first regenerative copper mines and carbon neutral by 2038. Its Feasibility Study results were announced in a press release dated October 7, 2025.
The company also recently purchased 27.3% of Paragon Advanced Labs Inc., a public company deploying PhotonAssay units, a technology McEwen believes is poised to become the new industry standard for assaying precious and base metals. Chairman and Chief Owner Rob McEwen has invested over US$250 million personally and takes a salary of $1 per year, aligning his interests with shareholders. His objective is to build MUX's profitability, share value and ultimately implement a dividend policy.
