McEwen Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) announced it has received a $49.4 million dividend from the San José Mine in Argentina, bringing total dividends received from the operation in 2026 to $58.2 million. This amount already exceeds the company’s original full-year expectation of $40 million to $50 million, according to a press release. The dividend further strengthens McEwen’s balance sheet as the company looks to fund planned production growth through internally generated cash, with a goal of doubling production to 250,000 to 300,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2030.
The San José Mine is a joint venture between McEwen and a subsidiary of Hochschild Mining. The consistent dividend flow underscores the mine’s strong operational performance and cash generation. McEwen’s 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. He is a recipient of the Order of Canada, a member of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame and a winner of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year (Energy) award. His objective is to build MUX’s profitability, share value and ultimately implement a dividend policy, as he did while building Goldcorp Inc.
McEwen shares trade on both the NYSE and TSX under the ticker MUX. The company provides its shareholders with exposure to a growing base of gold and silver production in addition to a very large copper development project, all in the Americas. The gold and silver mines are in prolific mineral-rich regions: the Cortez Trend in Nevada, USA; 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.
The company has a 46.3% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the large, long-life, advanced-stage Los Azules copper development project in San Juan province, Argentina – a region that hosts some of the country’s largest copper deposits. 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 copper 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 the press release dated October 7, 2025.
McEwen also recently purchased 27.3% of Paragon Advanced Labs Inc., a newly listed public company that is deploying PhotonAssay units around the world, a technology that the company believes is poised to become the new industry standard for assaying precious and base metals, with Paragon aiming to be one of the leading service providers.
