Goldcorp is engaged in the business of exploring for and producing gold and other precious metals and is now part of Newmont Corporation. Our Board believes that Mr. McEwen’s 30+ years of experience in the mining industry, and particularly the experience he developed by guiding Goldcorp from a start - up into a senior gold producer, provides him with the desired skills, attributes and qualifications to serve as a member of our Board.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16 (a) REPORTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Communications to the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors maintains a policy of reviewing and considering communications from our shareholders and other interested parties. Any interested party who desires to contact the Board of Directors may do so by fax, telephone, electronic or regular mail addressed to the Board of Directors, c/o Carmen Diges, General Counsel and Secretary, 150 King Street West, Suite 2800, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 1J9, telephone (647) 258 - 0395, ext. 130, facsimile (647) 258 - 0408 or via e - mail to: directors@mcewenmining.com. Such communications can be sent to the Board by mail in a sealed envelope addressed to an individual director, the non - management directors or the full Board. Our General Counsel will deliver the envelope unopened (1) if addressed to a director, to the director, (2) if addressed to the Board, to the Chairman of the Board who will report thereon to the Board, or (3) if addressed to the non - management directors, to the Chair of the Audit Committee who will report thereon to the non - management directors. The General Counsel will forward the communication to the intended recipient.

Our directors periodically review communications from shareholders and other interested parties and determine, in their discretion, whether the communication addresses a matter that is appropriate for consideration by the Board.

Board Leadership and Risk Oversight

The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, as the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to make that determination based on the status and direction of the Company and the membership of the Board. The Board has determined that at present, having the Company’s Chief Executive Officer serve as Chair is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. This structure makes the best use of Mr. McEwen’s extensive knowledge of the Company and the mining industry, as well as fostering greater communication between the Company’s management and the Board.

The Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board serves as the presiding director for any meeting of the non - management or independent members of our Board of Directors. See our website at www.mcewenmining.com/investor - relations/corporate - governance for additional information about our corporate governance.

Companies face a variety of risks, including financial reporting, legal, credit, liquidity, reputational and operational risk. The Board believes an effective risk management system will (1) timely identify the material risks that the Company faces, (2) communicate necessary information with respect to material risks to senior executives and, as appropriate, to the Board or relevant Board Committee in order that we can prepare accordingly, (3) implement appropriate and responsive risk management strategies consistent with the Company’s risk profile, and (4) integrate risk management into Company decision - making.

The Board as a whole oversees risk management after receiving briefings provided by management and advisors, as well as its own analysis and conclusions, regarding the adequacy of the Company’s risk management processes.

Board Committees and Meetings

Our Board of Directors currently maintains a standing (i) Audit, (ii) Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, (iii) Environmental, Health & Safety Committee, and (iv) Disclosure Committee. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Board of Directors met eight times and took action by consent in lieu of a meeting on ten other occasions. No director who served as such in 2023 attended less than 75% of the meetings held during 2023, including Committee meetings of which the director was a member.

Additionally, we hold regular meetings of our non - management directors pursuant to NYSE Rules. During the year ended December 31, 2023, our non - management directors met eight times.

Table of Contents

While we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance at annual meetings, directors are encouraged to attend the annual meeting of shareholders and receive communications directly from shareholders at that time. One of our directors then serving was unable to attend the 2023 annual meeting; otherwise all of our then serving directors and director nominees attended the 2023 annual meeting.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is comprised of Richard Brissenden (Chair), Robin Dunbar and Ian Ball. The Audit Committee, among other things, appoints and oversees the independent registered accounting firm that audits our financial statements and assists the Board with oversight of the integrity of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the proposed scope, content and results of the audit performed by the auditors and any reports and recommendations made by them. The Audit Committee also oversees our financial reporting process and is responsible for drafting an annual report to be included in our annual proxy statement. All of the members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined under the NYSE Rules and Rule 10A - 3 of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee met four times during the last fiscal year. The written charter for the Audit Committee is available on our website at http://www.mcewenmining.com/investor - relations/corporate - governance.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Richard Brissenden, Chair of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an Audit Committee financial expert in that he has (i) an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; (ii) the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (iii) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; (iv) an understanding of internal controls over financial reporting; and (v) an understanding of Audit Committee functions. Mr. Brissenden acquired these attributes through experience in analyzing financial statements as a member of management of numerous other public companies; through his experience as a director and audit committee member for other public companies; and, through his formal education, including qualification as a Chartered Professional Accountant in the Province of Ontario, Canada and a graduate of the Director’s Education Program of the Institute of Corporate Directors with an ICD.D designation.

Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) combines the functions formerly served by the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which were combined in 2022 as a result of complete overlap in the members of each committee. As such, it is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of our executive officers and directors and our general compensation, benefits and perquisites policies and practices, including, without limitation, our incentive - compensation plans and equity - based compensation plans (in circumstances in which equity - based compensation plans are not subject to shareholder approval, such plans shall be subject to Committee approval). The Committee is also responsible for reviewing and approving the goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with regard to the compensation of our directors. The Committee may delegate to our Chief Executive Officer the responsibility for reviewing the compensation of our named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. However, any recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer are submitted to, reviewed and approved by, the Committee.

The Committee is also responsible for periodically reviewing the size and composition of the Board and its committee structure, identifying individuals that it believes are qualified to become members of the Board based on criteria approved by the Board, recommending nominees to the Board for the next annual meeting of shareholders, overseeing new director orientation and training and recommending and reviewing the corporate governance principles applicable to our directors, officers and employees.

The Committee will consider director candidates nominated by shareholders in accordance with our Bylaws and will apply the same criteria to shareholder recommendations as it does to other nominees considered by the Committee. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a prospective director nominee should send a letter directed to the Compensation,

Table of Contents

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Carmen Diges, General Counsel, 150 King Street West, Suite 2800, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 1J9.

Such letter must be signed and dated and submitted to us by the date mentioned in our annual proxy statement under the heading PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS FOR PRESENTATION AT THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS. The following information must be included in or attached to the letter:

●

name and address of the shareholder making the recommendation;

●

proof that the shareholder was the shareholder of record, and/or beneficial owner of common stock as of the date of the letter;

●

the name, address, resume of the recommended nominee and other information described in our Bylaws relating to the nominee, including all relationships which would be required in a proxy statement for which proxies are solicited; and

●

the written consent of the recommended nominee to serve as a director if so nominated and elected.

Specific minimum qualifications for directors and director nominees which the Committee believes must be met in order to be so considered include management experience, exemplary personal integrity and reputation, sound judgment, and sufficient time to devote to the discharge of his or her duties.

If vacancies are anticipated or otherwise arise, the Committee considers candidates for director suggested by members of the Board, management, shareholders and other parties. The Committee evaluates new nominees based on criteria including, but not limited to, independence, diversity of experience compared to other directors, age, skills, experience, diligence, potential conflicts of interest, time availability, and if warranted, may interview the nominee in person or via the telephone. There are presently no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for director, whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder or any other party.

The Committee is currently comprised of Allen Ambrose (who serves as Chair), Robin Dunbar, and Merri Sanchez.

However, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the individual skills and experience of the directors, as well as the composition of the Board as a whole, and strives to nominate individuals with a variety of complementary skills so that, as a group, the Board will possess the appropriate talent, skills, experience and expertise to oversee the Company’s businesses. This assessment includes consideration of independence, diversity, age, skills, expertise, time availability, and industry backgrounds in the context of the needs of the Board and the Company. The Committee seeks a broad range of perspectives and considers both the personal characteristics (gender, ethnicity, age) and experience (industry, professional, public service) of directors and prospective nominees to the Board.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our directors, director nominees, or executive officers.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The individuals who served as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer during the year ended December 31, 2023, the individuals who were among our three most highly compensated executive officers serving as such as of the end of 2023 (who were not our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), and up to two individuals who would have been among our three most highly compensated executive officers but for the fact that those individuals were not serving as an executive officer at the end of 2023, are referred to as “named executive officers” throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Overview of Compensation Philosophy, Objectives and Policies

Our goal in designing our executive and employee compensation is to achieve three principal objectives. First, the program is intended to be fully competitive so that we may attract, motivate and retain talented executives and key employees. Second, the program is intended to create an alignment of interests between our executives and key employees, on the one hand, and our shareholders, on the other, such that a portion of each executive’s or key employee’s compensation consists of awards of stock options or restricted stock grants. In this manner, if the price of our stock increases over time, our executive officers, key employees and our shareholders will benefit. The compensation program is designed to reward performance that supports our principles of building long - term shareholder value and may also recognize individual performance from time to time which the Compensation Committee believes contributes to the success of our company. Third, we believe our compensation program should reflect our corporate culture, which includes carefully managing operating expenses, including compensation, and rewarding executives and other employees in the event that McEwen Mining is successful. To promote this culture, our executives receive what we believe to be competitive base salaries and are eligible to receive bonuses in the event their performance merits such bonuses and McEwen Mining is successful in achieving its strategic targets. Executives may also earn significant gains from equity awards in the event of an increase in the price of our common stock. Our corporate culture also emphasizes teamwork, especially among our executive officers. To encourage teamwork, we structure executive compensation (particularly base salary and bonus amounts) at similar levels for similarly situated members of our executive team. We do not believe our compensation program creates incentives for our employees to engage in risk - taking behavior that would likely have a significant adverse impact on our company.

Our shareholders overwhelmingly approved the compensation of our named executive officers at our 2022 annual meeting. Further, at that meeting, our shareholders agreed to hold the advisory vote on our executive compensation once every three years. As a result, we have not made any significant changes to our compensation philosophy or policies for 2023.

Elements and Mix of Compensation

Our present compensation structure for the named executive officers generally consists of salary and incentive compensation. The incentive component consists of a short - term cash portion and a long - term equity portion. We believe the present structure achieves our compensation objectives.

Table of Contents

The compensation of our named executive officers is designed to be competitive so that we may attract and retain talented executives. Discretionary bonus compensation is designed to reward individual performance and recognize achievement of corporate objectives. The long - term equity portion of the compensation of the named executive officers is designed to align the interests of the executives and key employees with our shareholders by encouraging equity ownership through awards of stock options to executive officers and key employees and to motivate our named executive officers and other key employees to contribute to an increase in shareholder value. While equity ownership is highly encouraged, we do not presently have a policy that requires our named executive officers or directors to own shares of our stock.

We have adopted a policy for our employees, including our senior executive officers, and directors which prohibits short sales of our common stock (with the exception of such sales in connection with exercise of stock options), options trading, and hedging transactions with regard to our common stock. This policy applies whether or not the equity securities were acquired through our compensation program.

Determining Executive Compensation

Generally, the Compensation Committee (now, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee) meets in January each year to review and recommend to the Board the level of compensation for the named executive officers and key employees for the current year. In establishing our executive compensation, the Compensation Committee consults with our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer reports to the Committee regarding the individual performance of the other named executive officers. Additionally, the Committee considers recommendations from the named executive officers regarding incentive compensation for key employees who report to that executive officer. The Board also reviews compensation in December and considers cash bonuses at that time as it can review the performance of relevant individuals for the prior fiscal year.

Our consideration of base salary for the named executive officers has traditionally been based upon a review of broad - based information obtained from third parties to obtain an understanding of current compensation practices.

With regard to the other named executive officers, our Chief Executive Officer recommends the form and amount of compensation that he deems appropriate for the respective individuals. He believes that the base salary of the named executive officers should be competitive and should be augmented with discretionary cash bonuses. He believes that the base salary should generally be within the range of perceived peers for comparable positions, but in the lower percentile of those peers, and in line with our status as a relatively smaller metal producer.

The Compensation Committee, in establishing compensation for 2023, did not target a specific percentile in the perceived range of comparative information for each individual executive or for each component of compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee structured a total compensation package in view of the perceived information and such other factors specific to the executive, including level of responsibility, prior experience, expectations of future performance and our corporate culture. The Compensation Committee uses its judgment in identifying comparative information.

As discussed in more detail below, in 2023, each executive received compensation comprised of a base salary, and was eligible for an equity award. The amount of compensation allocated to each element of compensation is determined on a case - by - case basis. We do not have a specific policy for allocating between long - term and currently paid - out compensation, or policies for allocating between cash and non - cash compensation.

Cash bonuses are a form of short - term incentive compensation which may be recommended by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on individual and overall company performance. There is no specific bonus plan or policy in place setting forth timing of awards or establishing specific performance objectives. The Compensation Committee, with recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer, determines and recommends the amounts and timing of any bonus awards.

Table of Contents

The long - term equity compensation component of our compensation program is comprised of stock option awards and makes up a significant part of our named executive officers’ compensation package. Under the Amended and Restated McEwen Mining Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Equity Incentive Plan”), we are authorized to issue incentive and non - qualified stock options, to make grants of stock and award grants of restricted stock to the officers, directors and key employees of our company, including the named executive officers. Effective January 2010, the Board adopted a policy that requires all stock options awarded be subject to a minimum vesting period of three years beginning one year from the date of grant. The stock options are priced at or above the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date, which is the date the Board approves the award, unless circumstances such as non - public material information require a later date. The Committee also takes into consideration the potential tax consequences to the recipient and to our company when determining the form of award. Due to our status as a smaller producer, and our need to conserve working capital to reinvest in our business, our compensation structure is weighted more toward performance bonuses and/or equity compensation and less toward base salary.

Specific Compensation Decisions

During 2023, Robert McEwen, our Chief Executive Officer, was paid a salary of $1, which has been his salary since 2017. Prior to that time, for the entire time he has served as our Chief Executive Officer, he has declined any salary. Mr. McEwen refused any salary to demonstrate his alignment with the interest of the other shareholders of our company.

Our remaining executive officers received base salaries during 2023 in accordance with their respective written employment agreements or as otherwise agreed with our Company. The Compensation Committee believes that these base salaries were appropriate in light of each of those officer’s area of responsibility and level of experience and was reasonable in the industry based on information possessed by members of the Committee from experience within our industry. There were no changes to the base salaries of any named executive officer during 2023. However, certain of our officers, including Mr. Ing and Mr. Shaver, have agreed to defer payment of their salaries and are expected to receive shares of stock to satisfy deferred amounts.

We do not use a formula or set a timeline in determining the amount of equity awards for our named executive officers. Instead, the Compensation Committee exercises its judgment and discretion and considers, among other things, the role and responsibility of the executive, competitive factors, the amount of stock - based equity compensation already held by the executive, the performance of our common stock, the estimated value of the equity awards, non - equity compensation received by the executive, and the total number of shares to be granted to participants during the year. In view of the overwhelming support that we received from the advisory vote on our executive compensation at our 2022 annual meeting, we did not make any material changes to our compensation policies, programs or decisions for 2023.

Additional benefits provided to executive officers and key employees as part of their compensation packages include health, life and disability insurance. To the extent the named executive officers participate in these programs, they do so generally on the same basis as our other employees. Our named executive officers do not receive perquisites and we do not maintain any non - equity incentive plans or deferred compensation plans.

CEO PAY RATIO

As mandated by SEC rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Robert R. McEwen, to the annual total compensation of our median employee.

In accordance with the methodology set forth below, we have determined that the 2023 annual total compensation of the median employee who was employed as of December 31, 2023, excluding the CEO, was $60,000. Our CEO’s annual total compensation for 2023, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $342,169. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees other than the CEO was 1 to 6. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in accordance with SEC rules.

We selected December 31, 2023 as the date on which to determine our median employee. As of that date, our employee population consisted of 339 individuals working at the Company or any of our wholly- owned subsidiaries. To identify the median employee:

●

We used a cash compensation measure consistently applied to all employees, which included each employee’s gross earnings, consisting of cash base salary or wages plus overtime and cash bonus paid under our short-term incentive plan. We also consistently excluded non-cash compensation, such as non-cash bonus.

●

For employees that partially worked during the 2023 year, we annualized the compensation received but did not adjust for part-time status.

●

The cash compensation for our employees was derived from our payroll records and from payroll records maintained by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, in each case, for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. For payroll records held in a foreign currency, we used the average foreign exchange rate to the U.S. dollar, reported by the Federal Reserve or the national bank of the country, for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

After identifying the median employee, we determined such employee’s annual total compensation in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K as required by SEC rules. This calculation is the same calculation used to determine total compensation for purposes of the 2023 Summary Compensation Table with respect to each of the named executive officers.

The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, exclusions, and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported above may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies, even those in a related industry or of a similar size and scope. Other companies may have different employment practices (including compensation of the CEO) or regional demographics or may utilize different methodologies and assumptions in calculating their pay ratios.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

In November 2005, we established a compensation program for our non-executive directors, which provides cash payments to those directors in addition to long-term incentive equity awards. In 2023, directors received fees of $40,000 annually for their service and additional amounts for Committee service. The Committee service amounts range from $2,000 to $10,000 annually, depending on the Committee and whether the individual takes on additional responsibility as Chair. The directors may also receive cash bonuses from time to time in circumstances where they serve on special committees or undertake additional activities in addition to their usual duties. The compensation received by our directors for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Procedures and Policies

We consider “related party transactions” to be transactions between our company and (i) a director, officer, director nominee or beneficial owner of greater than five percent of our stock; (ii) the spouse, parents, children, siblings or in-laws of any person named in (i); or (iii) an entity in which one of our directors or officers is also a director or officer or has a material financial interest.

The Audit Committee is vested with the responsibility of evaluating and approving any potential related party transaction, unless a special committee consisting solely of independent directors (as defined in the NYSE Rules) is appointed by the Board of Directors. Policies and procedures for related party transactions are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Audit Committee Charter, both of which are available on our website at http://www.mcewenmining.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance.

Transactions with Related Parties

Secured Credit Agreement: On August 10, 2018, we completed a $50.0 million Secured Term Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders. On June 25, 2020, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, substitute a new lender and administrative agent and extend the due date of principal payments under the Agreement. Evanchan Limited (“Evanchan”), an entity over which Mr. McEwen exercises voting and investment control participated as a lender for $25.0 million of the total $50.0 million term loan under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

Subsequent Loan by McEwen Affiliate: On March 31, 2022, we borrowed an additional $15 million from Evanchan in the form of an unsecured note (the “Note”). The note bears interest at the rate of eight percent per year, payable monthly, and is due and payable in full September 30, 2025.

2023 Amendment to and Restatement of Credit Agreement: On May 23 2023, we amended and restated the Credit Agreement to (i) remove Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP (“Sprott”) as agent and lender under the Credit Agreement as we had paid the $25 million in principal and all accrued interest owed to Sprott, (ii) replace Sprott with Evanchan as agent and (iii) classify the Note from Evanchan as an advance under the Credit Agreement and add it as an obligation thereunder such that the amount due under the Credit Agreement has been reduced from $50 million to $40 million ($25 million remaining from Evanchan’s initial loan under the Credit Agreement and $15 million originally due under the Note), and the Unsecured Note has been cancelled. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we paid Evanchan $3.8 million in interest.

Legal Services: During the year ended December 31, 2023, legal fees of $258,071 were incurred with REVlaw, a company owned by Carmen Diges, General Counsel of the Company. The services of Ms. Diges as General Counsel and other attorneys are provided by REVlaw. Ms. Diges has agreed to defer the payment of certain amounts owed and is expected to accept shares in lieu of cash payments. Such payments are made to Ms. Diges directly and reported under the Summary Compensation Table above.
