Goliath Reports 14.61 g/t AuEq Over 6.00 Meters And 11.88 g/t AuEq Over 4 Meters Within Surebet Zone's High-Grade Core Further Demonstrating Its Continuity And Predictability, Golddigger Property, Golden Triangle, B.C.
McEwen’s high-grade exploration upside is offset by near-term execution risks at its projects.
McEwen Inc. (MUX) reported that its Stock Mine ramp-up is on schedule, with initial production expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 and commercial production targeted for 2027, fulfilling prior guidance. The company also confirmed the delivery of its El Gallo Phase 1 construction timeline, noting that an EIA permit extension was secured, a ball mill was purchased and placed on site, and construction is targeted for the second half of 2026 with first pour expected in late 2027.
At the San José mine, second-quarter 2026 production rose 24% year-over-year, though unit costs remained elevated due to Argentine inflation. While the company previously guided for annual production between 59,000 and 64,000 GEOs, full-year delivery depends on second-half execution and currency stability. Regarding the Los Azules project, a second-quarter 2026 transcript indicated the final investment decision work program was approximately 27% complete, with a fourth-quarter 2026 completion target. Management also reiterated its commitment to capital allocation discipline and minimal dilution regarding the McEwen Copper financing, which it targets to complete in the latter part of 2026, subject to financing and market conditions.

McEwen Inc. (MUX) reported drill results from its Goliath project, which the company characterized as routine and neutral. The findings confirm regional exploration success within the Golden Triangle but do not alter the company’s asset base, guidance, or valuation.
McEwen’s near-term trajectory hinges on execution at Gold Bar, the financing or IPO for Los Azules, and production ramp-ups at Fox and El Gallo. The stock has declined approximately 47% from its January 2026 peak, pricing in Gold Bar execution risks and broader market volatility.
