(&#147;McEwen Mining&#148;) (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX)</font></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> announced today that McEwen Mining and its wholly-owned subsidiary, McEwen Mining &#151; Minera Andes Acquisition Corp. (&#147;Exchange Co.&#148;) (<b>TSX: MAQ</b>), will launch transferrable rights offerings (the &#147;Rights Offerings&#148;).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are conducting two concurrent rights offerings because we have two classes of shares: common shares of McEwen Mining (&#147;Common Shares&#148;); and shares of Exchange Co. that are exchangeable on a 1-for-1 basis into Common Shares (&#147;Exchangeable Shares&#148;). The Rights Offerings will provide that holders of Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares will participate on an equal and proportional basis with other holders of the same class of shares in purchasing additional shares of the same class of shares at a considerable discount to the current listed price.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">&#147;I believe a rights offering, versus all other forms of financing, is the most fair to our shareholders. We are giving the Companies&#146; current shareholders who have been supportive and loyal to the Company the first right on this financing. I am personally backstopping this financing for $60 million because I believe McEwen Mining has a bright future,&#148; said Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Owner.</font></i></p>

In addition, he has agreed to backstop the Rights Offerings in their entirety. This means that if any subscription rights remain un-exercised in the Rights Offerings (including the oversubscription privilege) on the Expiry Date, the unsubscribed Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares will be subscribed for by Rob. This guarantees that the Rights Offerings will be fully subscribed for. The Company will raise approximately US$60&nbsp;million in gross proceeds from the Rights Offerings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">McEwen Mining prepares its resource estimates in accordance with standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). These standards are different from the standards generally permitted in reports filed with the SEC. Under NI 43-101, McEwen Mining reports measured, indicated and inferred resources, measurements which are generally not permitted in filings made with the SEC. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involve greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into economically mineable reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources.</font></p>
