McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) reported
its second quarter (Q2) and half year (H1) results for the period
ended June 30th, 2023.
“The year started with operational challenges at
both Gold Bar and San José. San José appears to have turned the
corner and we are confident that the plan in place for Gold Bar
will do the same. Fox Complex has delivered another solid quarter
and we expect even better results in the second half of the year.
We thank our operating teams for their hard work. The story at Los
Azules keeps getting better and better! With a strong financing, an
updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) showing robust
economics, unparalleled partners in Rio Tinto (through Nuton) and
Stellantis, and potentially game changing copper leaching
technology, we could see Los Azules provide a model for how the
mine of the future should look,” said Rob McEwen, Chairman and
Chief Owner.
Second Quarter Highlights and Building
Our Future:
- Fox
Complex: Record daily mill throughput of 1,250 tonnes per day,
generating $6 million in cash gross profit in Q2. Sustained higher
throughput and improved grade expected to result in stronger
production and margins in H2.
- San
José: Production increased 54% with cash costs/oz declining 24%
compared to Q1, as the revised mine plan continues to be
executed.
- Gold
Bar: Higher mining rates and gold grades, together with faster
recovery and lower strip ratio from the Pick deposit setting stage
for improved production and margins in H2/23 and beyond. Higher
costs/oz during Q2 included the additional costs associated with
the heap leach pad expansion, which is expected to be completed in
Q3.
- Fenix
Project: We continue to advance towards a formal construction
decision. During the quarter, we initiated a sonic drilling
campaign, advanced permitting applications and engaged a project
manager.
- McEwen
Copper: PEA for the Los Azules copper project issued in June 2023
with NPV8% of $2.7 Billion and payback period of 3.2 years,
assuming a copper price of $3.75/lb. Based on the financing closed
in Q1/23, our 52% ownership of McEwen Copper has now an implied
value of $285 million, which is equal to 67% of our current market
capitalization.
- Early
retirement of $25 million or 39% of our outstanding debt in Q2;
reduction of debt service of $2.2 million annually.
- We
continued our safety track record of no lost time incidents at our
100% owned operating mines during Q2.
-
Exploration update across the portfolio to be delivered
later in Q3.
Mr. McEwen continued, “At McEwen Mining,
quarterly production from our mines delivered a marked improvement
in terms of ounces produced over Q1. At the Fox Complex its AISC
was 8% lower than the comparable period in 2022. Gold Bar continued
with high costs per ounce, however we expect to see much better
performance in H2 as a result of a lower strip ratio and increased
mined ore grades. At San José production got back on track in Q2.
We anticipate all our mines will deliver stronger results in H2 and
finish the year in line with our production guidance. We are
advancing two important development projects, at the Fox Complex in
Canada and at the Fenix project in Mexico, both designed to extend
the mine lives by 9 years.
Our biggest single asset with the greatest
near-term potential to increase our share value is our 52% owned
subsidiary McEwen Copper. Given my long association with gold, I
view non-gold deposits in terms of their gold equivalent value.
McEwen Copper’s most advanced property is its large Los Azules
copper project. On June 20th we published an updated PEA for Los
Azules. Using the numbers of this PEA and a copper gold ratio of
500 to 1 (500 lbs of copper currently have the value of 1 oz of
gold), Los Azules has a resource base equivalent to a 75 million
ounce gold deposit with annual gold equivalent production of
800,000 oz in the 1st 5 years, 644,000 oz over the following
22 years, low production costs of $535/oz cash costs and $820/oz
AISC, generating the payback of its $2.5 Billion initial capex in
3.2 years (based on a $3.75/lb copper price). Notably, these
impressive results are achieved from extracting the economically
mineable portion representing just about one third of the current
resource estimate, as determined by the present PEA.
Moreover, by implementing a sustainable
approach, this potentially multi-generational asset could become a
model for mines of the future. Compared to conventional copper
mines, Los Azules is designed with a much lighter impact on the
environment, emitting 1/3 the carbon initially to zero by 2038,
utilizing ¼ the water, 100% powered by renewable energy sources,
and producing sustainable copper cathode.
Investing with us in the future of Los Azules
are two global companies, Rio Tinto and Stellantis (through their
respective subsidiaries), the world’s 2nd largest mining company
and the world’s 4th largest automaker, each owning 14.2% of McEwen
Copper.
The updated Los Azules PEA surpasses the 2017
assessment in key areas, including: 1. Superior financial metrics,
2. Larger copper resource estimate, 3. Significantly lower water
consumption and greenhouse-gas emission, 4. Substantial decrease in
electricity consumption and 5. A design optimized for permitting
and development in the next 5 years. We are now focused on our next
milestone, which is to deliver a final Feasibility Study by late
2024 - early 2025.
We have invested heavily in exploration and the
results have been most encouraging, particularly at Los Azules,
where the resource base increased by 27%, and at the Fox Complex,
where the results allow us to see the potential for significant
increase in mine life. These large investments in exploration are
treated on our income statement as expenses and are the primary
reason for our consolidated loss this quarter. We will continue to
report losses in McEwen Copper until Los Azules has reached a stage
where costs can be capitalized under US accounting rules.”
Financial Results
Notice to reader: Under US GAAP, McEwen Mining
consolidates 100% of the accounts of its fully owned and majority
owned subsidiaries in its reported financial results, including
McEwen Copper. Entities over which we exert significant influence
but do not control (such as Minera Santa Cruz S.A. [MSC], the
operator of the San José mine) are presented as an equity
investment on our balance sheet.
Our cash gross profit(1) was $4.8
million and our gross loss in Q2 was $3.5
million, compared to a gross profit of $4.2 million and
cash gross profit of $7.7 million in Q2 2022. Cash gross profit or
loss excludes the non-cash depreciation included in the gross
profit or loss. During Q2, gross loss was impacted by lower grades
and longer recovery times at our Gold Bar mine operations, which
are expected to reverse in H2, based on anticipated 25% higher
mined grades, faster recoveries and a 33% lower strip ratio. This
should result in higher production and improved margin expansion.
Our gross loss was also impacted by an increase in non-cash
depreciation rates at Gold Bar resulting from a reduction in our
mineral reserve base at the end of Q4 2022. Our Fox Complex
operations generated a $6.0 million cash gross profit in Q2, and we
expect to build on this momentum during the second half of the
year, as we mine higher grade material and maintain our higher mill
throughput.
Adjusted net loss(1) was $13.0
million, or $0.27 per share in Q2,
compared to $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share in Q2 2022. Adjusted
net income or loss is a new non-GAAP financial measure intended to
provide readers with a metric to evaluate our 100% owned precious
metal business, therefore excluding McEwen Copper, with its copper
assets (52% owned), and MSC, operator of the San José mine (49%
owned). Together with our gross loss described above, we also
invested $7.1 million in exploration and advanced
project expenses, primarily at our Fox Complex operations, where we
continue to develop our Stock West project. Exploration
expenditures at Fox Complex are expected to decrease in the second
half of the year as we complete our flow-through expenditure
commitments.
We reported a consolidated net loss of
$21.6 million, or $0.46 per share
in Q2, compared to $12.5 million, or $0.26 per share in Q2
2022. This was driven by an investment of $28.5
million in our Los Azules project to complete our
2022-2023 drilling program and publish our updated PEA, which we
expensed under US GAAP. As we progress towards feasibility at Los
Azules, we expect to continue to report losses until we meet the US
GAAP requirements for capitalization, which typically require a
feasibility study establishing a mineral reserve estimate and
permitting. As a result of our $130 million investment in
exploration since 2021, we have increased the implied valuation of
McEwen Copper on a 100% basis from $257 million to over $550
million.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Consolidated cash and equivalents increased to
$84.6 million(2) at the end of Q2 from $39.8
million at the end of 2022. Additionally, investments totalled
$29.2 million, primarily in equity securities held
in Argentina, to mitigate the impact of high inflation and
devaluation. Consolidated working capital was $92.0
million at June 30, 2023.
During Q2, we decreased our total debt by
$25 million to $40 million and
entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
effective May 23, 2023. As a result, our interest expenses
associated with long-term debt were decreased by $2.2 million per
year.
In addition, the Company’s 52% ownership of
McEwen Copper has an implied market value of $285 million, based on
the last financing round with Rio Tinto (through Nuton LLC) and
Stellantis (one of the world’s leading automakers and owner of 14
iconic brands including such names as Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge,
Fiat, Jeep and Maserati).
The Company also maintains a portfolio of
royalties including a 1.25% net smelter royalty at both our Los
Azules and Elder Creek properties, together with three other
royalties on properties in Nevada and in Santa Cruz, Argentina.
Gold & Silver
Production
Production from our three operating mines was
35,625 gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) (3) in Q2 and
66,100 GEOs in H1, compared to 36,218 GEOs in
Q2 2022 and 61,200 GEOs in H1 2022. Our consolidated production
guidance remains 150,000-170,000 GEOs for 2023.
Details on how we plan to achieve guidance are outlined in the
section below.
Individual Mine Performance
(See Table 1):
Fox Complex: Timmins, Canada
Fox performed well in the
quarter and achieved its budgeted production. Mill throughput in Q2
was 31% higher than in Q4 2022, reaching a record 1,250 tonnes per
day, an important achievement by our team in Canada, as we aim to
consistently maintain higher throughput. Cash costs were slightly
higher than our annual guidance due to moving to contractor
crushing in early 2023, however we expect AISC to remain in-line
with guidance as a result of reduced capital expenditure
requirements. Gold grades are expected to be approximately 10-15%
higher in H2, which will also bring down our per ounce costs for
the second half of the year.
Gold Bar: Nevada, USADespite
the historic difficulties at Gold Bar, we are
confident in our team’s plan at the mine to ramp up gold production
during H2, which will also result in lower costs and increased
profitability. This will be achieved by mining 25% higher grades by
prioritizing material from the Pick open pit, which also allows for
a 33% lower strip ratio and faster leaching recoveries. Based on
these factors we expect Gold Bar to meet production guidance of
42,000 to 48,000 GEOs for the full year. With the anticipated
improvements to gold production, we also expect to lower cash
costs/oz and AISC/oz in H2, to meet our annual guidance
figures.
San José: Santa Cruz,
ArgentinaSan José had a difficult start to 2023 as seen in our Q1
results. The team at San José has been quick to respond by
implementing operational changes that resulted in production
increasing 54% and cash costs/oz decreasing by 24% in Q2 as
compared to Q1. This was achieved through mining and processing
more tonnes containing higher average gold and silver grades. As a
result, San José’s revised production targets were met in the
quarter, and production guidance of 66,000 to 74,000 GEOs(4) for
the full year is reiterated. Although San José’s cash costs and
AISC per ounce sold for the full year are forecast to remain 10-20%
above guidance due to the difficulties encountered in Q1 and the
additional investments required to de-risk mine production, the
team deserves congratulations for all their efforts in identifying
the operational issues and putting in corrective measures.
Exploration
Exploration results from the Fox
Complex were published in a separate press release on May
8th and an additional update is planned in early September.
Gold Bar exploration activities
are focused on discovering near mine resources. Two drills will be
active on the property in H2, with one drill outside the mining
area testing the Wall Fault, which is believed to be a primary
feeder fault for the mineralization at Gold Bar.
McEwen Copper
Infill and exploration results from Los
Azules were published on April 5th, May 5th, July 12th and
Aug 1st. The drilling campaign at Los Azules ended mid-June and is
expected to resume in October, after the South American
winter.
Additional assay results from the recently
completed drilling campaign will be published over the next months.
All drilling information received after the December 31, 2022
cut-off date for the PEA will be incorporated in our upcoming
feasibility study.
We own a 52% interest in McEwen Copper Inc.,
which holds a 100% interest in the Los Azules copper project in San
Juan, Argentina, and the Elder Creek exploration project in Nevada,
USA. The last financings completed by McEwen Copper with Stellantis
and Rio Tinto (Nuton) gave the company an implied market value of
$550 million. This translates to $285 million for McEwen Mining
shareholders’ 52% ownership. This value is equal to approximately
67% of the current fully-diluted market capitalization of McEwen
Mining.
During Q2, McEwen Copper spent $28.5 million to
advance a major drilling campaign involving up to 15 rigs, ongoing
road maintenance and improvements, hyperspectral scanning of the
entire drill core data, technical studies necessary for the updated
PEA, environmental baseline work, project optimization and
trade-off studies (including renewable power supplies and mining
methods), and metallurgical test work. The Environmental Impact
Report for Exploitation was submitted during the quarter to the
Argentinian authorities for review, and the team is now working on
advancing Los Azules to the Feasibility Study level.
At the Elder Creek project operated by Kennecott
Exploration Company, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, six exploration
drill holes have been completed with results pending. Kennecott has
the option to earn a 60% interest in Elder Creek by investing
$18 million over a maximum of seven years.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP
MEASURES
In this release, we have provided information
prepared or calculated according to United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), as well as provided
some non-U.S. GAAP ("non-GAAP") performance measures. Because the
non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by U.S. GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies.
Cash Costs and All-in Sustaining CostsCash costs
consist of mining, processing, on-site general and administrative
costs, community and permitting costs related to current
operations, royalty costs, refining and treatment charges (for both
doré and concentrate products), sales costs, export taxes and
operational stripping costs, and exclude depreciation and
amortization. All-in sustaining costs consist of cash costs (as
described above), plus accretion of retirement obligations and
amortization of the asset retirement costs related to operating
sites, sustaining exploration and development costs, sustaining
capital expenditures, and sustaining lease payments. Both cash
costs and all-in sustaining costs are divided by the gold
equivalent ounces sold to determine cash costs and all-in
sustaining costs on a per ounce basis. We use and report these
measures to provide additional information regarding operational
efficiencies on an individual mine basis, and believe that these
measures provide investors and analysts with useful information
about our underlying costs of operations. A reconciliation to
production costs applicable to sales, the nearest U.S. GAAP measure
is provided in McEwen Mining's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Cash Gross ProfitCash gross profit is a non-GAAP
financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning. We
use cash gross profit to evaluate our operating performance and
ability to generate cash flow; we disclose cash gross profit as we
believe this measure provides valuable assistance to investors and
analysts in evaluating our ability to finance our ongoing business
and capital activities. The most directly comparable measure
prepared in accordance with GAAP is gross profit. Cash gross profit
is calculated by adding depletion and depreciation to gross profit.
A reconciliation to gross profit, the nearest U.S. GAAP measure is
provided in McEwen Mining's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Adjusted Net Income or Loss and Adjusted Net
Income or Loss Per ShareAdjusted net income or loss is a non-GAAP
financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning. We
use adjusted net income or loss to evaluate our operating
performance and ability to generate cash flow from our wholly-owned
operations in production; we disclose this metric as we believe
this measure provides valuable assistance to investors and analysts
in evaluating our ability to finance our precious metal operations
and capital activities separately from our copper operations. The
most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP
is net income or loss. Adjusted net income or loss is calculated by
adding back McEwen Copper and MSC’s income or loss impacts to our
consolidated net income or loss. A reconciliation to net income,
the nearest U.S. GAAP measure is provided in McEwen Mining’s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended
