        <footnote id="F1">The exchangeable shares are convertible into common stock of McEwen Mining Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) on a one-for-one basis at any time.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Exchangeable Shares may be converted into Common Stock (i) upon certain changes in Canadian tax law, (ii) upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of McEwen Mining-Minera Andes Acquisition Corp. (&quot;Exchangeco&quot;), or (iii) upon a liquidation of the Company. Exchangeco may accelerate redemption in the event that: (A) fewer than 5% of the Exchangeable Shares are outstanding; (B)(1) the Company undergoes a change of control or a change of control is approved, (2) the shareholders of the Company approve a liquidation of the Company or (3) the Company disposes of substantially all of its assets and it is not reasonably practicable to substantially replicate the Exchangeable Shares; or (C) certain voting events are proposed that affect the substantial equivalence of Exchangeable Shares and Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This Amendment is being filed to delete the sale of 57 exchangeable shares erroneously reported in the subject report.</footnote>
