McEwen Inc. reports positive results from its 2025 drilling program at Windfall, part of the Gold Bar Mine Complex in Nevada. Acquired in 2024, Windfall continues to show significant gold resources, with new drilling results indicating near-surface oxide mineralization and a deeper high-grade zone.
The drilling program incorporates new results from Windfall, which was not included in the previous resource estimate. The average grade mined at the Gold Bar Mine in 2025 was 0.76 gpt Au. The new results validate the Company’s view that there is potential to increase resources and extend mine life.
Key results from the Windfall drilling program include new near-surface oxide mineralization in drill hole WF039, with significant gold grades over 74.7 meters. Other holes also show strong results, with a new high-grade zone emerging in drill hole WF101. Base metal results are pending for this zone.
The gold mineralization at Windfall remains open for expansion, with continuity demonstrated along a 1.6-kilometer section of the Windfall fault zone. The near-surface, oxidized nature of the mineralization suggests potential for heap leach recovery, similar to the process used at the Gold Bar Mine.
The newly discovered gold mineralization at Windfall is located beyond the previous resource estimate limits, indicating further potential for expansion. The project’s proximity to private land could expedite production permitting. McEwen plans to continue resource drilling, test high-grade zones, and update the resource estimate for Windfall in 2025.
McEwen Inc. trades on both the NYSE and TSX under the ticker MUX, providing shareholders exposure to gold, silver, and copper projects in the Americas. The Company’s Chairman, Rob McEwen, has invested over $200 million personally and aligns his interests with shareholders. The Los Azules copper project, in which McEwen has a 46.4% interest, aims to be a regenerative and carbon-neutral mine by 2038.
