Starting a New Chapter of Growth
TORONTO, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) is pleased to announce a significant development at our Fox Complex's Stock Mine that will usher in a new chapter of growth. Construction of the ramp system is now underway to provide access to future lower-cost-per-ounce gold production.
Rob McEwen, CEO and Chief Owner of McEwen Mining states:Part of our Fox Complex, the Stock Mine will be the newest gold mine to come online in the prolific Timmins gold mining district, at a time when gold is trading at record highs against fiat currencies. The mine is located along the Destor-Porcupine fault, known as the 'Golden Highway', which hosts many of the richest gold mines in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. This prime location benefits from a robust mining workforce and a regional economy for which mining is an important driver.
McEwen Mining thanks our team and the local communities, First Nations and the provincial government, all of whom helped to make this milestone a reality.
Stock Mine Overview
Construction has begun on the Stock Mine portal, pictured below, that will provide both underground access to Stock's three gold zones, West, Main and East, and a cost-effective platform for underground drilling to test the depth extensions of these zones.
The Stock Property hosts the Stock Mill and the former Stock Mine. It was a small mine that produced 137,000 ounces of gold at a 5.5 g/t average grade from an underground operation between 1989 and 2005.
Extensive drilling has successfully defined three gold deposits at Stock - the West, Main and East zones that are laying the groundwork to confidently begin mining in the second half of 2025. Gold mineralization at the Stock Mine has been delineated on a three-kilometer-long mineralized trend along the prolific Destor-Porcupine Fault, with current gold resources of 281,000 ounces at average grade 3.12 g/t Indicated and 181,000 ounces at average grade 2.87 g/t Inferred.
Figure 1 is a project-wide longitudinal section at Stock, illustrating the proposed ramp development (shown as green straight lines) and mining horizons (shapes in purple) associated with the West, Main and East Zones.

The Stock Ramp will connect the West Zone and the East Zone to the existing historical underground workings of the Main Zone.
Stock is expected to provide increased gold production at a lower cost per ounce than our current output from the Froome Mine. The advantages of mining at Stock compared to Froome are significant and can be summarized in three key points:
Minimal royalty: The bulk of the Stock deposit is royalty-free, whereas Froome is fully subject to an onerous metal stream that obligates us to sell 8% of our production in this area at $605 per ounce - great to see this come to an end;
Higher mill throughput: The material at Stock has a lower (softer) work index compared to the material currently processed from the Froome Mine. This is expected to result in increased throughput and gold production; and
Lower haulage costs: The Froome Mine is deeper and located 35 kilometers from the Stock Mill, while the gold mineralization at Stock is at shallower depths and located right next to the mill, significantly reducing transportation costs.
Mining will start in the East Zone, which had a recent increase in the resource (see press release dated June 20, 2024), and will provide early production and cash flow. Our development plan for the Stock Ramp is to drive the ramp to the East Zone concurrently with the ramps to the Main and West zones. This approach will enable simultaneous access to multiple sources of mineralization from the Stock Ramp.

Why Oklo Stock Dropped on Thursday
Oklo stock needs to raise $460 million in new cash. The company will sell a lot of shares to do it. Oklo isn't expected to turn free cash flow positive for at least a decade. 10 stocks we like better than Oklo › Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) stock, one of a handful of new energy companies working to commercialize small modular nuclear reactor technology, tumbled more than 7% early Thursday morning before recovering to about a 1.3% loss as of 12:20 p.m. ET. The big dive early was sparked by an Oklo announcement last night, in which the company said it will create and sell $400 million worth of new shares of common stock (and potentially, up to $460 million shares if underwriters exercise their overallotment option). Oklo intends to use the money raised from this share offering "for general corporate purposes, working capital and capital expenditures, and potential future investments." This is another way of saying that Oklo doesn't make any money currently, and needs to sell shares to raise cash in order to fund its ongoing operations. The company didn't name any other specific use for the cash, such as buying another company. So Oklo is selling a lot of new stock. The question for investors is: Should you buy it? That really depends on how quickly you think Oklo can commercialize its business and begin generating cash on its own, so that it doesn't need to keep selling shares. Analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence don't expect Oklo to begin generating any revenue at all until 2027, and forecast profitability won't arrive until 2030 -- five years in the future. Worse, they believe Oklo will still be burning cash (and needing to sell shares to remain solvent) through at least 2034 -- and probably longer than that. Call me a cynic, but if you ask me, a purchase of Oklo stock today isn't "investing" at all. It's speculating, pure and simple. Before you buy stock in Oklo, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Oklo wasn't one of them.
