Gold Bar Complex

About Gold Bar

Located in Eureka County, Nevada

The Gold Bar Complex is McEwen’s cornerstone Nevada operation and a growing regional gold district positioned along the prolific Battle Mountain–Eureka–Cortez gold trend. Since achieving commercial production in 2019, Gold Bar has evolved from a single open-pit mine into a multi-deposit growth platform supported by exploration success, strategic acquisitions, and district consolidation.

Today, Gold Bar represents the foundation of McEwen’s long-term Nevada strategy — transforming the operation into a scalable mining hub capable of supporting sustained production growth through the integration of nearby deposits.

OVERVIEW

The Gold Bar mine is located in the southern Roberts Mountains of central Nevada, surrounded by world-class gold deposits and major producing mines.

McEwen has steadily expanded gold resources through exploration and acquisitions designed to extend mine life and unlock district-scale potential.

The Gold Bar Mine Complex produced 33,227 gold ounces in 2025 and is forecast to produce 30,000–33,000 gold ounces in 2026.

Transforming Gold Bar into a
Nevada District Hub


McEwen is advancing a regional consolidation strategy centered on Gold Bar, integrating multiple nearby exploration and development assets to create a long-life Nevada production platform.

Key projects contributing to this transformation include:

Lookout Mountain

Lookout Mountain represents a significant oxide gold opportunity within the Gold Bar Mine Complex. Recent drilling at Lookout Mountain focused on converting resources from Inferred to Measured and Indicated to advance mine planning. At the Water Well Zone, McEwen’s first drillhole returned 3.4 gpt gold over 24.1 meters (core width); the mineralization remains open to the north and east. The results continue to show oxide mineralization that could potentially be processed using the same heap-leaching technology currently used at Gold Bar.

Windfall Project

Publication of the Windfall Mineral Resource Estimate during Q2 2026 marked another milestone in Gold Bar’s transformation into a long-life mine with increased production. Drilling at Windfall also focused on conversion of resources. The drill results confirmed the overall grade and thickness of the Inferred Resources, increasing confidence in the mineralization and our production plans.

Windfall continues to provide meaningful exploration upside within the Eureka district, including additional targets beyond the current Mineral Resource Estimate.

Trinity Ridge

Trinity Ridge is located within the current limits of the Gold Bar Mine, where the Company is evaluating the potential to expand and merge three existing open pits into one larger pit.

An initial Mineral Resource Estimate is scheduled for Q1 2027, followed by permitting and mine planning. Trinity Ridge has the potential to extend the mine life of current mining operations at similar production rates for the foreseeable future, and recent drill results continue to support its development plans.

Golden Lake Acquisition

The acquisition of Golden Lake Exploration, completed in Q2 2026, further consolidates McEwen’s footprint in Nevada and its ability to advance a unified regional development plan centered on Gold Bar infrastructure. It includes the Jewel Ridge and Jewel Ridge West targets located immediately north of the Windfall project.

Together, these assets support McEwen’s strategy of transitioning Gold Bar from a standalone mine into a district-scale operation, leveraging shared infrastructure, technical teams, permitting experience, and regional logistics.

District Synergies and Growth Strategy

The integrated Nevada portfolio is expected to deliver multiple advantages:

  • Extension of Gold Bar mine life through satellite deposits
  • Reduced capital intensity through shared infrastructure
  • Expanded exploration pipeline across a consolidated land package
  • Increased production flexibility

By advancing multiple deposits simultaneously, McEwen aims to create a sustainable production profile while maintaining capital discipline. As Windfall, Lookout Mountain and Trinity Ridge are advanced, management plans to leverage existing Gold Bar infrastructure wherever possible.

Exploration and Development Outlook

 

Exploration programs across the Gold Bar Mine Complex and surrounding projects are focused on supporting long-term Nevada production growth. Near-term plans include:

  • Expanding oxide resources near current operations
  • Testing deeper mineralization targets
  • Converting Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated at Windfall and Lookout Mountain to advance mine planning for satellite deposits
  • Completing an initial Mineral Resource Estimate for Trinity Ridge in Q1 2027, followed by permitting and mine planning.

Production at the Gold Bar Mine Complex is expected to reach 90,000–110,000 gold ounces by 2030, driven by Windfall, Lookout Mountain and Trinity Ridge, as part of McEwen’s broader objective to double company-wide annual production to 250,000–300,000 GEOs.

The Future of Gold Bar

Gold Bar is evolving into more than a producing mine — it is becoming a regional mining hub supported by a growing pipeline of deposits across the Eureka district.

Through continued exploration success, disciplined acquisitions, and infrastructure leverage, McEwen is positioning the Gold Bar Complex as a key contributor to long-term production growth in one of the world’s most attractive mining jurisdictions.
