<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On February 4, 2013, McEwen Mining Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) and certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a settlement agreement (the &#147;Settlement Agreement&#148;) with respect to claims made in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Action S-084670 (the &#147;Proceeding&#148;), by TNR Gold Corp. (&#147;TNR&#148;) and Solitario Argentina S.A. (&#147;Solitario&#148; and together with TNR the &#147;Plaintiffs&#148;) against MIM Argentina Exploraciones S.A. (&#147;MIM&#148;) and certain subsidiaries of the Company, including Minera Andes Inc., Minera Andes S.A., Los Azules Mining Inc., and Andes Corporacion Minera S.A. (collectively the &#147;Company Subsidiaries&#148; and together with MIM the &#147;Defendants&#148;).&#160; The Proceeding involved ownership of mineral claims in and around the Los Azules Copper project located in San Juan Province, Argentina (&#147;Los Azules&#148;).&#160; Los Azules was originally owned by Minera Andes Inc. and is now owned by the Company indirectly through its acquisition of Minera Andes Inc. in January&nbsp;2012.&#160; The Settlement Agreement is deemed effective as of November&nbsp;9, 2012.</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;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement between the Company, the Plaintiffs, and the Defendants, all claims and counterclaims brought by the Plaintiffs and Defendants in the Proceeding will either be discontinued or finally resolved by way of a consent dismissal order.&#160; The Settlement Agreement provides for mutual releases and covenants not to sue by Plaintiffs, MIM, and the Company Subsidiaries regarding any claim asserted or relating to the Proceeding.</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;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As consideration for the Plaintiffs&#146; release of claims against the Company Subsidiaries, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock (the &#147;McEwen Shares&#148;) to TNR.&#160; The McEwen Shares will be issued under exemptions from registration requirements under U.S. securities law and prospectus delivery requirements under Canadian law.&#160; Each party to the Settlement Agreement agreed to bear its own attorneys&#146; fees and costs in connection with the Proceeding and the Settlement Agreement.</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;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the Settlement Agreement, TNR will transfer the contested Escorpio IV claim (a mineral claim situated to the west of the deposit at Los Azules) to the Company.&#160; TNR will retain their back-in right for up to 25% of the equity in certain claims comprising the northern portions of Los Azules under the Cordon de Los Azules Exploration and Option Agreement dated effective as of May&nbsp;15, 2004, as amended by an amending agreement dated April&nbsp;29, 2005, and further amended by an amending agreement executed contemporaneously with the Settlement Agreement and deemed effective as of November&nbsp;9, 2012.</font></p>
