TORONTO, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McEwen Copper Inc., a subsidiary of McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX), is pleased to announce the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for its Los Azules copper project. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which is the ministerial resolution approving the EIA, is a key permitting milestone on the way to feasibility, construction and future operation.
This EIS, which is issued by the San Juan Provincial Government's Ministry of Mines, highlights the support for copper mining in the pro-mining province of San Juan.
Since submitting the EIA documentation in April 2023, which was compiled by the international engineering and consulting company Knight Piesold and supported by 22 subject matter experts from San Juan, the Ministry of Mining and 14 public and private institutions comprising the Evaluation Committee have thoroughly reviewed over three thousand pages of the EIA and included a process of public consultation and a site visit to the project. This rigorous process ensures the project's environmental viability and establishes a solid foundation for responsible development.
Completing the evaluation process required significant work from our internal team and specialized consultants. McEwen Copper extends its sincere gratitude to everyone whose collaboration has been essential to meeting the highest technical and environmental standards. We look forward to their continued partnership in the following stages of the project.
Robert McEwen, CEO and Founder of McEwen Mining stated: "Our commitment to modern, sustainable, and regenerative mining practices at Los Azules is reflected in our PEA and EIA, and we continue this work through our upcoming definitive feasibility study. We thank the 14 institutions for their work, whose efforts helped secure this key environmental permit."
Michael Meding, Vice President and GM of McEwen Copper and General Manager of the Los Azules Project, added: "This milestone propels Los Azules forward and highlights its transformative potential for the province and Argentina's mining industry. As we advance, sustainability and community engagement will remain at the heart of our project development."
Strengthening Community Partnerships and Sustainability Commitments
Los Azules has built a strong partnership with the Calingasta community, fostering mutual trust and collaboration. McEwen Copper reaffirms its commitment to sustainable regional development by incorporating local perspectives. Los Azules distinguishes itself through its focus on sustainability. The project is designed to operate on renewable electric energy and achieve carbon neutrality by 2038. Its innovative process design ensures one of the lowest water footprints in the mining sector, aligning with international best practices; Los Azules aims for excellence in environmental stewardship.
Next Steps: Toward Feasibility and Construction
With the EIA approval in place, Los Azules is advancing towards publishing a definitive feasibility study, expected in the first half of 2025, with the potential start of construction as early as 2026, further strengthening McEwen Copper's position on the forefront of sustainable mining and as an important driver of economic and social development in San Juan.

JD I dont believe all energy efficiencies MUX has designed are bad. Grow your own food, smart. Use solar where its applicable, smart. Recycle water, check!
What doesnt make sense is when you use more energy than your saving from battery implementation and increasing solar panel jobs in China.
A funny note about Tesla car battery chargers is we had new Costco built near us and they used CNG ran motors, underground, to lower the chargers. Lol
As for DEI, shut that switch completely off. Hire who is best fit to fill the job role.

Milei pulls Argentina’s delegation from COP29 climate conference
Government orders Argentina’s representatives to walk out of ongoing global climate conference, in order not to endorse UN’s Agenda 2030, which has been criticised by President Milei
President Javier Milei government’s on Wednesday ordered the entire Argentine delegation to withdraw from the ongoing COP29 climate change conference in Azerbaijan.?
"Yes, the team is withdrawing," a source at the Environment Secretariat told the AFP news agency on Thursday. Authorities at COP29 later confirmed the withdrawal.
This decision relates to President Milei’s rejection of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Argentina’s libertarian administration says the plan, which was adopted by all UN member states in 2015, inconveniences companies operating in this country.
A small delegation of Argentine officials was at the summit, which began on November 11, but they received orders last Wednesday to suspend their agenda and return to Buenos Aires immediately.

The representatives walked out in order not to endorse what is decided there, government sources leaked. Milei later retweeted some messages celebrating the move.
Negotiations at COP29 have a clear focus on the need for more financing from developed countries to mitigate climate change.
Landing a new agreement is the top priority of negotiators at the summit in Azerbaijan. But it is deeply contentious, and consensus has eluded negotiators from nearly 200 nations for the better part of a year.

The G20: Tackling economic issues in a turbulent world
Most developing countries favour an annual commitment from wealthy countries of at least US$1.3 trillion, according to the latest draft of the long-sought climate finance pact.
This figure is more than 10 times the US$100 billion annually that a small pool of developed countries – among them the United States, the European Union and Japan – currently pay.
Argentina’s COP walkout does not mean it is withdrawing from the Paris Accords to halt global warming. That would require a more extended process of up to a year, which would imply ceasing to form part of the UN Climate Change Framework Convention.

Donald Trump is expected to withdraw the United States from the agreements once he becomes US president next January, as he already did in his first term.
"It’s time to demonstrate that world cooperation is not stagnant but is up to what this moment requires," said Simon Stiell, UN Executive Director for the Climate, when opening the COP conference earlier this week.
The summit will run until next Friday with the presence of presidents and leading figures but not any Argentine representation.

Argentina has been one of the leading Latin American voices at international forums and summits, such as the COP talks, for decades.
"The exit of the Argentinean delegation from the climate conference in Baku is unprecedented in the country's diplomatic history, and marks a clear contrast with Buenos Aires‘ foreign policy of engaging productively in international negotiations," said Oscar Soria, an Argentine environmental activist and the director of the Common Initiative NGO.
"This is a bilateral issue between Argentina and the UN and we are not going to comment on it," Azerbaijan's chief negotiator at COP29, Yalchyn Rafiev, said Thursday.

Asked about Argentina's decision, Chilean Environment Minister Maisa Rojas was also cautious.
"Whether one says yes or no, climate change is real, it is happening. All countries are experiencing its impacts and therefore it is in the interest of all countries to build resilient structures," she declared.

McEwen Mining: Q3 2024 Results
TORONTO, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) today released its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 (“Q3”). The Company achieved significant improvements in revenue and operating profitability, driven by higher gold prices and strong production. The results reflect McEwen Mining’s ongoing commitment to expanding gold and silver production, advancing its large copper project and robust investment in exploration programs.
Financial Highlights (Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023)
Revenue increased 36% to $52.3 million due to higher realized gold prices and an increase in gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) produced for our 100%-owned mines. Average gold price sold was $2,499 per ounce in Q3 vs $1,920 in Q3 2023.
Gross profit increased 268% to $13.8 million due to higher gold prices, improved operational efficiencies and higher production.
Net loss significantly decreased to $2.1 million or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $18.5 million or $(0.39) per share in Q3 2023, reflecting the Company’s focused efforts on cost controls and lower expenditures at the Los Azules copper project.
Operating cash flow increased to $23.2 million or $0.45 per share, compared to negative operating cash flow of $2.3 million or $(0.04) per share in Q3 2023, primarily reflecting the improvement in gross profit above.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 586% to $10.5 million or $0.20 per share, compared to $1.5 million or $0.03 per share in Q3 2023. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of McEwen Copper’s results and reflects the operating earnings of our mining assets, including the San José mine. This measure underscores McEwen Mining’s success in improving cash flow and operating performance across its production portfolio.
Operational Highlights
Gold Bar Mine, Nevada: Production reached 13,640 oz Au(1) in Q3, a 43% increase compared to the same period in 2023, driven by higher gold grades and improved recovery rates. The site is on track to meet its annual production guidance of 40,000 to 43,000 oz Au.
Fox Complex, Canada: Production totaled 7,855 oz Au(1) down 30% year-over-year, impacted by a temporary shortfall in development due to a stope failure in Q2 2024 that limited stope availability. However, the Company anticipates enhanced stope availability in Q4 2024, which will support increased production. The Fox Complex is expected to produce approximately 15-20% fewer ounces compared to its annual guidance of 40,000 to 42,000 oz Au.
San José Mine, Argentina: The 49% share of production from the San José Mine in Argentina was 13,684 GEOs(1)(3). Lower than anticipated grades contributed to a 23% decrease from Q3 2023. Nevertheless, Hochschild plc, as operator of the San José mine, expects to achieve its annual guidance for San José, which stands at 50,000 to 60,000 GEOs for McEwen Mining’s attributable share. The improved metal price environment has allowed the San José mine to build a strong liquidity position, with an increase of $40.4 million in working capital from $34.1 million at September 30, 2023 to $75.5 million at September 30, 2024, while also investing $8.5 million in exploration and $3.5 million in expanding the mill during 2024.

McEwen ups holdings in gold junior Inventus Mining

Canadian mining entrepreneur Rob McEwen has upped his holdings in Inventus Mining (TSXV: IVS) through the participation in the gold junior explorer’s latest private placement financing to support its ongoing exploration in Ontario.
In total, McEwen, through his company McEwen Mining (TSX: MUX), will buy 10 million units of Inventus at a price of C$0.04 per unit. McEwen currently holds approximately 35.8 million shares, or about 21% of Inventus, having built his take over the years since Inventus operated under its old name Ginguro Exploration
Inventus’ shares gained 50% to C$0.045 apiece by 1:20 p.m. ET, for a market capitalization of C$7.6 million.
In addition to McEwen’s purchase, an additional 5 million units will be sold to other investors, for gross proceeds of C$600,000 to fund Inventus’ exploration activities.
The company’s main asset is the Pardo paleoplacer gold project located 65 km northeast of the Sudbury mining district. The current exploration target is a near-surface gold-bearing conglomerate reef that ranges from 1 to 4 metres thick.
A 2018 technical report on Pardo outlined three target ranges for the gold-bearing conglomerate based on the limited exploration work to date, with the largest estimated at 12.5 million tonnes grading 3.5 g/t for a gold content of 1.4 million oz.
The conglomerate, if economically feasible, would be subject to low-cost surface strip mining methods, Inventus said on its website. The company had also billed the project as the “first large-scale paleo-placer gold deposit in North America”.
In 2022, Inventus conducted the first phase of a 50,000-tonne advanced exploration bulk sampling program at Pardo, returning an average head grade of 3.4 g/t gold. The bulk sample program has built confidence of the gold grade and paved the way for an initial resource estimate on the property, the company said.

that's a somewhat deceptive post, since it's a boilerplate article that they apply to various miners. If you type in google the first few words, you get the same article for various other miners.
Basically, it's not about MUX, but about the miners' market in general, so you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Save Canadian Mining - The Big Push
Sep 17, 2024
Naked Short Selling has cost Canadian small cap companies upwards of $1 Trillion according to Terry Lynch referencing a recent Globe & Mail article.
Terry Lynch is the CEO of Power Nickel and the Founder of "Save Canadian Mining", the small cap stock advocacy group backed by industry giants such as Eric Sprott, Keith Neumayer, Robert McEwen and multiple sponsors who have worked tirelessly and given generously over the last 4 years to conduct research, create reports and meet with key government officials & regulatory bodies - all for the singular purpose of putting an end to the devastating practice of illegal short selling in the Canadian small cap market.
FRIDAY THE 13TH UPDATE VIDEO FOLLOWS BLACK FRIDAY AND GOOD FRIDAY VIDEOS
On a couple of occasions over the past 10 months Save Canadian Mining has held major webcasts for the industry, beginning with the Black Friday event (November 2023) in which Wes Christian and David Wenger discussed the landmark decision in a New York case in which Broker-Dealers could now be liable for failing to fulfill their "Gatekeeping Responsibilities" of monitoring client trading actions
Then came the Good Friday video (March 2024) in which Terry and his team not only discovered the shocking mechanism to facilitate the firehose of naked short selling - but along with it the specific actions that could easily be taken by regulators and/or government officials in order to put an end to it.
Thousands of small cap companies and tens of thousands of investors participated.
As a result of the reaction and reach of that video, which laid the foundation for both a massive industry wide social media campaign and a potential billion dollar plus class action lawsuit against one of Canada’s big banks, Save Canadian Mining was able to secure meetings with leading Ontario Provincial Government officials. At that point, a decision was made to pause the campaign in order to give the talks a chance to bear fruit.
We are going to talk about those talks, as well as, a shocking revelation that came out of a legal document filed with the Supreme Court of British Columbia recently.

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard: Groundswell builds for massive Chinese stimulus but today wasn't real thing
Submitted by admin on Tue, 2024-09-24 22:07 Section: Daily Dispatches

The Telegraph, London
Tuesday, September 24, 2024
China urgently needs a stimulus of shock-and-awe proportions, backed by a deep cleansing of its broken banks along the lines of America's "TARP" (Troubled Asset Relief Program) rescue in 2008. The latest package announced today falls far short.
The drumbeat for radical action is by now deafening. It dominated the weekend's China Macroeconomy Forum in Hong Kong, where a chorus of influential voices called for a fiscal blast of up to $1.4 trillion to pull the country out of debt deflation and cosmic gloom.
iu Shijin, a former rate-setter at the People's Bank of China, said the government should issue special bonds worth 8% of GDP to boost social spending, pensions, and health care. And to convert the galactic glut of unsold flats into homes for the 180-million-strong army of migrant workers caught in the no-man's land of the semi-feudal Hukou system.
Mao Zhenhua, co-director of the Renmin Institute of Economic Research, wants a similar package of $1.4 trillion -- or 10 trillion yuan -- proposing direct cash transfers to citizens akin to Covid cheques in the West.
The authorities have been dribbling out stimulus for months but it has been too half-hearted to arrest the slide into a Keynesian liquidity trap. Disappointing data over recent weeks have finally caused the dam to break. The PBOC cut the reserve requirement ratio by 50 points today. There were targeted measures to prop up the crumbling housing market.
Raymond Yeung, China strategist at Australia's ANZ bank, said the measures will inject a trillion yuan into the banking system but do not add up to a genuine bazooka. "We question whether today's package can lift China from the deflationary spiral. Massive easing and a complete change in mindset are required," he said. ...

Black and Yellow Gold Nearing Breaks as Participants Regroup
The two quintessential commodities crude oil and gold both appear to be near inflection points.
Carley GarnerSep 16, 2024 6:45 PM EDT
For this article, we have turned our attention to the two quintessential commodities: crude oil and gold. As we generally do, we are paying attention to what the Commitments of Traders (CoT) report issued weekly by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission tells us.
We suspect both products could be nearing a break in the trend as market participants regroup. Let’s start with oil.
Black Gold (Crude Oil)
Crude oil speculators haven’t gone short the market, but their long positions have dwindled to about 200,000 net long futures; levels that are generally supportive of prices.
In the mid-2010s, each time speculators held this small of a bullish position, the oil market found a reason to tag $20.00 to $30.00 to the price of oil. In 2016, a similar setup on the CoT chart pushed prices from about $30.00 per barrel to nearly $80.000, and in 2023, we saw a rally from the low $60.00s into the $90.00s. It is still unknown if speculators will continue their unwind to push oil prices much lower or if we will see another price bump as speculators put long positions back on, but we are leaning toward the latter.
The weekly crude oil chart depicts technical support roughly between $65.00 and $60.00 per barrel. In fact, last week’s sudden flush-out might have been the low for the move. In any case, there is a good argument for being bullish on dips as we advance.
The 200-week moving average near $78.00 is still in an uptrend, and it would be par for the course to see oil prices make another run at it. If the market can chew through it, trendline resistance at about $80.00 will present another challenge to the bulls, but above this level, we could see a nice boost as traders unwind their deflation trades (long stocks, short commodities). Who knows? Maybe $90.00 is still in play.
Gold of the Yellow Variety
Just as everyone is finally starting to get on the bullish gold bandwagon, it feels like the rug could be pulled from beneath the market.
According to the CoT report, large speculators hold one of the most significant net long positions ever recorded in gold futures. In the past, this group getting aggressively bullish hasn’t always resulted in immediate selling pressure, but it might be a sign that the “easy” money (if such a thing exists) has been made on the upside. Things could get pretty rocky as we advance.
Seasonality doesn’t offer the bulls any comfort. According to our friends at MRCI, the last 15 years of price data suggest a seasonal high in early September, followed by about three months of weakness.
Lastly, we revisit the monthly chart of gold. We have been following and sharing this chart for two or more years to support the idea of a run to about $2,600 (the target started around $2,450/$2,500, but due to the passing of time and the slope of the trendline, the new target is $2,600/$2,650). In any case, we are roughly there.
If you made money on the way up, be sure to lock-in, or at least protect gains. If you are a bear, this is probably a time to be net-short gold in a small way while we see what happens with the Fed meeting and the U.S. election.
All along, we have assumed that the 2023/2024 gold market is a replay of the 2010/2011 rally. Thus far, that has been a relatively accurate take.
If we continue to follow the 2010/2011 game plan, the highs in gold are probably near. The RSI indicator on this chart displayed three rally waves to conclude the 2011 rally in which the middle wave produced the highest RSI reading. With this in mind, we suspect the third wave of the current RSI pattern will fall short sooner rather than later. Perhaps this week’s Fed meeting will be the catalyst for lower prices. It should also be noted that the 2011 high occurred in September. Never underestimate the market’s tendency to repeat history.
Conclusion
We’ve seen market participants become comfortable with the idea of lower crude oil and higher gold prices. Still, perhaps everyone in a position to act on this opinion has already done so.
In short, the oil speculators have liquidated long holdings, and gold bulls have likely deployed the majority of their capital. Unless we get a continuous stream of overwhelming fundamental news confirming these stances, the most likely scenario is a trend reversal (firmer oil and softer gold).

Drilling Results – How Can You Determine if a Mining Company’s Drill Results are of Low, Medium or High Grade
Drilling results for base metals are typically reported in percentage per tonne (%), while precious metals are reported in grams per tonne (g/t). As an investor, it’s crucial to understand if a drill result indicates low-, medium-, or high-grade mineralization, as this can provide insight into the potential financial outcomes of the deposit.
After analyzing and interpreting various drill reports to differentiate between low-, medium-, and high-grade mineralization, I have summarized my findings in the following table:

Argentina to sign deal with US to boost metals mining
Bloomberg News | August 21, 2024 | 9:52 am News Latin America USA Copper Lithium
Argentina will sign an agreement with the US to draw more investment and trade in critical-minerals mining, a State Department official said, part of an ongoing US effort to boost supply chains for the metals that don’t involve China.
President Javier Milei’s government will sign the agreement with the US during a visit to Argentina this week by US Under Secretary of State Jose Fernandez. Argentina has vast resources of copper and lithium but has only tapped a tiny portion of them.
The agreement with Argentina will make it easier for the nation to work with countries in the Minerals Security Partnership, a US-led grouping that includes 14 countries and the European Union. The strategy aims to ease dependence on China for minerals that go into electric vehicle batteries and solar panels by linking foreign investors with mining projects and adhering to strict environmental standards.
“It’s a way for Argentina to literally make pitches to 14 countries and the EU in one fell swoop,” Fernandez said in an interview before the announcement. “Producing countries want the kinds of investments that we’re proposing, investments that will benefit communities, that will bring growth, that will observe national laws.”
Fernandez will also travel to Ecuador and Peru for meetings on trade, investment, sustainable agriculture and a separate regional initiative known as the Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity.
Launched in 2022, the US-led minerals push has so far resulted in high-level talks but few tangible investments. And while Milei is adamant about aligning with Washington, it will be tough to draw Argentina out of Beijing’s orbit given China is its largest trading partner after Brazil.
Before the announcement, the State Department welcomed people to register for a Minerals Security Partnership forum event in Buenos Aires on Aug. 23 to “learn more about lithium and copper extraction opportunities in Argentina.” Describing the country as a global leader for new resource development, it added that “there are many lithium and copper projects available for investment across several provinces.”
The minerals agreement doesn’t address Argentina’s inability to qualify for incentives for lithium production under the US Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, a law aimed in part at speeding EV adoption. Argentina is currently locked out of those benefits because it doesn’t have a free-trade deal with the US, and Argentine officials have been seeking access.
