The Company reports its investments in McEwen Copper and MSC under the equity method of accounting.

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are unaudited. While information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements and prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the Company believes that the information and disclosures included in the interim consolidated financial statements are adequate and not misleading. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (“Statement of Operations”) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025 and the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2024, the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, and the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments over which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control through majority ownership are accounted for using the equity method. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The reclassifications had no impact on reported results.
