McEwen signs LoI to acquire Canadian Gold

McEwen has signed a binding letter of intent (LoI) with Canadian Gold to acquire all its issued and outstanding securities, which would make the latter a wholly owned subsidiary of McEwen upon completion. The proposed transaction would see Canadian Gold shareholders receive 0.0225 of a McEwen share for each Canadian Gold share, valuing the latter at C$0.35 ($0.25) each, a 26% premium over the 30-day volume-weighted average price as of 25 July 2025. Canadian Gold shareholders will own around 8.2% of the combined entity. Canadian Gold's key asset, the Tartan Mine in Manitoba, Canada, is a high-grade former producing mine with significant exploration potential and existing infrastructure. Canadian Gold also possesses 100% interests in the Hammond Reef and Malartic South exploration properties in Ontario and Quebec. These are adjacent to some of Canada's largest gold mines. McEwen chairman and chief owner Rob McEwen said: "I am enthusiastic about the Tartan Mine for several reasons. First, it is a high-grade gold deposit with strong exploration potential in Canada. Second, the existing infrastructure, including the mine ramp, roads and power, provides an opportunity to restart operations within a relatively short time frame. Third, Manitoba stands out as one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions, offering a skilled workforce, low-cost renewable energy and attractive mining tax credits. 'Additionally, the Tartan Mine shares many similarities with our Fox Complex, enabling us to leverage our internal expertise and resources to maximise its potential." The Tartan Mine is expected to recommence production within two to three years, with substantial exploration potential bolstered by Canadian Gold's recent optioning of the adjacent Tartan West property. The proposed transaction is subject to a court-approved plan of arrangement, shareholder approvals and regulatory consents, including approval from both the Toronto and New York stock exchange. Shareholder votes are expected by the end of 2025, with a special meeting for Canadian Gold shareholders. The arrangement agreement will include customary provisions, deal protection and the ability for Canadian Gold to consider superior proposals.

McEwen Inc. seeks to acquire Canadian Gold

A Toronto-based company led by a Canadian Mining Hall of Fame veteran is seeking to buy a firm currently exploring a former Manitoba gold mine. McEwen Inc. signed a letter of intent to acquire Canadian Gold Corp. The latter, located in Flin Flon, holds 100 per cent interest in the Tartan Mine — a site near Flin Flon that produced 47,000 ounces of gold in 1987-89. Canadian Gold Corp. recently expanded its strike length of Tartan from eight kilometres to 29.5 km. It's been exploring the mine since 2023. The two companies signed the letter of intent July 27. The deal must receive approval from a majority of Canadian Gold shareholders; a special meeting is expected before 2026. McEwen Inc. has three gold mines in the U.S., Canada and Argentina. It's aiming to make an Argentina copper project one of the world's first regenerative copper mines. Rob McEwen, a mining hall of famer, leads the company. If approved, Canadian Gold shareholders will receive 0.0225 of a McEwen common share for each they hold. — Free Press staff

McEwen Inc. and Canadian Gold Corp. Announce Letter of Intent

TORONTO and FLIN FLON, Manitoba, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — McEwen Inc. ('McEwen') (NYSE: MUX) (TSX:MUX) and Canadian Gold Corp. ('Canadian Gold') (TSX-V:CGC) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the 'LOI') on July 27, 2025 in respect of a proposed transaction (the 'Proposed Transaction'), whereby McEwen would acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Canadian Gold by way of plan of arrangement. If the Proposed Transaction is completed, Canadian Gold would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of McEwen. Canadian Gold's principal asset is its 100% interest in the Tartan Mine, which is located in Manitoba, Canada (the 'Tartan Mine'). The Tartan Mine is a high-grade former producing mine with existing infrastructure and high exploration potential. Canadian Gold also holds a 100% interest in greenfield exploration properties in the Hammond Reef and Malartic South projects, which are adjacent to some of Canada's largest gold mines and development projects in Ontario and Quebec. The Proposed Transaction Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Transaction, each Canadian Gold common share (a 'Canadian Gold Share') would entitle its holder to receive 0.0225 of a McEwen common share (a 'McEwen Share') (the 'Exchange Ratio'). The Exchange Ratio represents an offer price of CDN $0.35 per Canadian Gold Share, being a premium of 26% to the 30-day volume weighted average price ('VWAP') of the Canadian Gold Shares as at market close on July 25, 2025. Following completion of the transaction, existing Canadian Gold shareholders will own approximately 8.2% of the combined company resulting from the Proposed Transaction. The LOI provides for the parties to enter into a definitive arrangement agreement (the 'Arrangement Agreement') setting out the final terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction. Upon the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, McEwen and Canadian Gold will issue a subsequent news release containing any additional terms of the Proposed Transaction. Benefits of the Transaction for Canadian Gold Shareholders: Benefits of the Transaction for McEwen Shareholders: 'I am enthusiastic about the Tartan Mine for several reasons.

We believe that this acquisition by McEwen is a fantastic result for our shareholders as we will benefit from a broader portfolio of high-quality assets,' said Peter Shippen, Chairman of Canadian Gold Corp. Details of the Proposed Transaction A copy of the LOI will be filed on McEwen's and Canadian Gold's SEDAR+ profiles at . The Proposed Transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of both McEwen and Canadian Gold, based on the recommendation of their respective special committees comprised of independent and disinterested directors. These special committees reached their decisions after consulting with their independent legal and financial advisors. Messrs. Rob McEwen and Ian Ball, recognizing their respective conflicts of interest as directors of McEwen and as shareholders/interested parties in Canadian Gold, abstained from voting on the approval of the Proposed Transaction by McEwen's Board of Directors. Similarly, Messrs. Alexander McEwen and Jim Downey acknowledged their conflicts of interest, as they were appointed to the Canadian Gold Board of Directors by Rob McEwen. To ensure a thorough and impartial review of the Proposed Transaction, the special committees of both companies have engaged independent financial advisors. These advisors will prepare a formal valuation of the respective shares, as required by securities law, and provide an opinion that, subject to the assumptions, limitations, and qualifications outlined in the written opinion, the consideration to be exchanged is fair from a financial perspective. Further details with respect to the Proposed Transaction will be included in the Arrangement Agreement and in an information circular to be mailed to Canadian Gold shareholders in connection with the Canadian Gold Meeting. Once available, a copy of the Arrangement Agreement will be filed on each of McEwen's and Canadian Gold's SEDAR+ profiles at and a copy of the information circular will be filed on Canadian Gold's SEDAR+ profile at .

CANTEX TO COMPLETE FINANCING INVOLVING CRESCAT CAPITAL TO DRILL HIGH GRADE COPPER, MASSIVE SULPHIDE AND GOLD ON ITS NORTH RACKLA CLAIMS, YUKON

KELOWNA, BC, July 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Cantex Mine Development Corp. (TSXV: CD) (OTCQB: CTXDF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will undertake a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000 (the "Offering") for drilling commencing this summer on its 100% owned North Rackla project. Cantex is pleased to announce that both Crescat Capital and Rob McEwen (founder of Goldcorp and McEwen Mining) are increasing their investment in Cantex through this placement. "Last year's drilling, though limited in scope, yielded some remarkable high-grade results. It also demonstrated the deposit displays continued potential for growth along strike. Though most people think of deposits like MacMillan Pass when they think of the Yukon, Cantex's North Rackla deposit is something unique. It is a deposit that more closely resembles the famous Broken Hill Deposit of Australia, a deposit characterized by high grades as well as a substantial endowment of the exotic metal germanium, a metal highly elevated at North Rackla. We are keen to see Cantex follow up with drilling the newly discovered strike extension found late last season." - Quinton Hennigh, Geologic and Technical Advisor, Crescat Capital. "We are happy to support Cantex with more capital for drilling this season. The zinc grades encountered at its vast North Rackla property last season were outstanding, same with the germanium, a sought-after critical metal. We think the Company is onto a potentially expansive high-grade ore body with much value still to be unlocked. We are furthermore pleased to be investing alongside its Chairman and largest shareholder, Chuck Fipke, a legend in the mining industry." - Kevin Smith, CFA, Founder and CEO, Crescat Capital. The Offering The Offering will be comprised of a combination of charity flow through units ("CFT units") and hard units ("Units") for total gross proceeds of up to C$3,000,000. The CFT units will be priced at $0.21 per unit, with each CFT unit comprised of one flow through share and one non-flow through warrant. Units will be priced at $0.14 per unit, with each Unit comprised of one common share and one non-flow through warrant. Each whole warrant issued in connection with either a CFT unit or a Unit entitles the holder to acquire a non-flow through share at a price of $0.21 for a term of three years. 0974052 B.C. Ltd. ("BC Ltd"), a company over which Dr. Charles Fipke, the Chairman and a control person of the Company exercises control and direction over, will be subscribing for 3,571,429 Units for a total subscription price of C$500,000. BC Ltd will acquire the Units for investment purposes. The Offering and the acceptance of the subscription by BC Ltd was approved by unanimous resolution of the board of directors of the Company with Dr. Fipke declaring his interest in the resolution and abstaining from voting. There was no formal valuation of the Company done in connection with the Offering, nor has there been such a formal valuation in the past 24 months. The Company will rely upon the exemptions contained in Section 5.5(b) and 5.7(b), of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") to avoid the formal valuation and shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. For the purposes of Section 5.5(b), the Company does not have any securities listed on any of the stock exchanges set out in Section 5.5(b) and for the purposes of Section 5.7(b) the exemption will be available as the consideration paid for the Units subscribed for by Dr. Fipke will be less than $2,500,000. The Company may pay finder's fees in connection with the Offering in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund qualified critical mineral exploration expenditures on the Company's North Rackla project in the Yukon. The Offering remains subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. About Cantex Cantex is focused on its 100% owned 20,000 hectare North Rackla Project located 150 kilometers northeast of the town of Mayo in the Yukon Territory, Canada where high-grade massive sulphide mineralization has been discovered. Over 86,000 meters of drilling has defined high grade silver-lead-zinc-germanium mineralization over 2.65 kilometers of strike length and at least 700 meters depth. The mineralization remains open along strike and to depth. The Company is led by Dr. Charles Fipke, C.M., the founder of Ekati, Canada's first diamond mine. The technical information and results reported here have been approved by Mr. Chad Ulansky a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, who is responsible for the technical content of this release.

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: 'As a long-term gold bull, I am always excited to break ground on a new gold mine, especially today, with gold trading at record highs and strong fundamentals for further upside. As we transition production from the Froome Mine to the Stock Mine, the timing is ideal for bringing Stock Mine into production. Moreover, it is important to understand that the Stock Mine will help us increase our near-term gold production and decrease our cost per ounce for three reasons: One, it will eliminate the onerous metal stream from prior owners on the Froome mine, which obligated us to sell 8% of our production at $605 per ounce; Two, the Stock material is softer than that currently processed from Froome, which will enable greater mill throughput and gold output; and Three, with the mill on site, we eliminate the cost of hauling material 35 kilometers from Froome, as you can see further below in Image 1.' 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. Figure 1. Longitudinal Section at Stock Mine, Showing the West, Main and East Zones with Highlights of Published Drill Results, Together with the Planned Development Works and Mining Blocks Stock Ramp to Access Gold Production in 2025 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. Image 1. The New Stock Mine Portal, with the Nearby Mill in the Background Image 2.
