NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation McEwen Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “McEwen Mining”) was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 24, 1979. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in the exploration for, development of, production and sale of gold and silver. The Company operates in Mexico, Argentina, and the United States. It owns and operates the producing El Gallo 1 Mine in Sinaloa, Mexico. It also owns a 49% interest in Minera Santa Cruz S.A. (“MSC”), owner and operator of the producing San José Mine in Santa Cruz, Argentina, which is controlled by the majority owner of the joint venture, Hochschild Mining plc (‘‘Hochschild’’). In addition to its operating properties, the Company holds interests in numerous exploration stage properties and projects in Mexico, Argentina and the United States. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements 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, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In management’s opinion, the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Consolidated Balance Sheets as at June 30, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015, the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto and summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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, 2015. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to employee Share-Based Payment Accounting: In March 2016, the FASB Issued ASU No. 2016-09, which changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The update to the standard is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2017, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) - Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting: In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, which affects all entities that have an investment that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. The amendments eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning in its second quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date: In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2015-09. ASU 2015-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

INVESTMENTS | |
INVESTMENTS | NOTE 2 INVESTMENTS The investment portfolio of the Company consists of marketable equity securities and warrants of certain publicly-traded companies. The Company classifies the marketable equity securities as available-for-sale securities, which are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. The warrants are recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following is a summary of the balances as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015: Other Statement of Additions Disposals Comprehensive Operations Fair Value Opening during during Income (Loss) end of the As of June 30, 2016 balance period period (pre-tax) Income period Marketable equity securities $ $ $ $ $ $ Warrants — — — Investments $ $ $ $ $ $ Other Statement of Additions Disposals Comprehensive Operations Fair Value Opening during during Loss (Loss) end of the As of December 31, 2015 balance year year (pre-tax) Income year Marketable equity securities $ $ $ — $ $ — $ Warrants — — — — — — Investments $ $ $ — $ $ — $ As of June 30, 2016, the cost of the marketable equity securities and warrants was approximately $1.8 million (December 31, 2015 - $1.9 million). On May 13, 2016, the Company participated in a private placement with Golden Predator Mining Corp. (“Golden Predator”) under which it acquired 3,125,000 units, each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (“warrant”), for a total cost of $0.4 million. Using proportional allocation, the Company allocated $0.2 million as the cost base for each to the common shares and warrants . As the warrants meet the definition of derivative instruments, unrealized gains or losses arising from their revaluation are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.7 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company sold marketable equity securities for proceeds of $0.5 million. The Company realized a gain of $0.1 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reviewed its investment portfolio to determine if any security was other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”). An OTTI security would require the Company to record an impairment charge in the income statement in the period any such determination is made. In making this judgment, the Company evaluated, among other things, the duration and extent to which the fair value of a security was less than its cost; the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto; and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it will more likely than not be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. From this assessment the Company concluded that the fair value of certain marketable equity securities exhibited a prolonged decline in share price due to deterioration of the issuer’s results; therefore, the decline in these marketable equity securities was considered OTTI. Accordingly, the Company recognized an OTTI impairment loss of $0.6 million and $0.9 million on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. For the remaining marketable equity securities, the Company recorded a gain, net of tax, in other comprehensive income, of $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is reported as a separate line item in the shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet. The gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are not reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) until the securities are sold or if there is an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below cost. |

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS | |
MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS | NOTE 4 MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS Mineral Property Interests On April 19, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the sliding scale net smelter return royalty (the “Royalty”) on the El Gallo 1 Mine and El Gallo 2 project , previously requiring payment of 3.5% of gross revenue less allowable deductions, eventually reducing to 1% . The purchase price consisted of a $5.3 million payment at closing and a deferred payment of $1.0 million on June 30, 2018, conditional that the El Gallo 1 Mine and El Gallo 2 project are in operation at that time . The total cost of the Royalty was accounted for as an addition to mineral property interests. The cost was allocated to El Gallo 1 Mine and El Gallo 2 project based on the relative fair value of the future royalty payments for each project. The allocation resulted in approximately $5.1 million allocated to the El Gallo 1 Mine and $1.2 million allocated to the El Gallo 2 project. The $1.0 million conditional deferred payment has been included under non-current other liabilities as of June 30, 2016. The Royalty ceased accruing at the end of March 2016 . The Company conducts a review of potential triggering events for evaluation of all its mineral projects on a quarterly basis. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable, the Company carries out a review and evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, in accordan ce with its accounting policy. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not identify events or changes in circumstances affecting the carrying values of its long-lived assets. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company performed a strategic review of its mineral property interests in Nevada. A decision was made to allow certain non-essential claims and portions of claims, included within the Gold Bar Complex and Tonkin Complex, to lapse on the September 1, 2015 renewal date and therefore reduce property holding costs that otherwise would have been incurred in the third quarter of 2015. This resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of $19.7 million for the Gold Bar project and $8.9 million for the Tonkin Project, and an income tax recovery of $10.0 million recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company is responsible for reclamation of certain past and future disturbances at its properties. The two most significant properties subject to these obligations are the Tonkin property in Nevada and the El Gallo 1 Mine in Mexico. A reconciliation of the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 are as follows: Six months ended June 30, 2016 Year ended December 31, 2015 Asset retirement obligation liability, beginning balance $ $ Accretion of liability Adjustment reflecting updated estimates — Asset retirement obligation liability, ending balance $ $ As at June 30, 2016, the current portion of the asset retirement obligation was $0. 2 million (December 31, 2015 - $0. 2 million). Amortization of Mineral Property Interests and Asset Retirement Costs The definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in the SEC Industry Guide 7. If proven and probable reserves exist at any of the Company’s properties, the relevant capitalized mineral property interests and asset retirement costs for that property are charged to expense based on the units of production method upon commencement of production. Since the Company has not completed feasibility or other studies sufficient to characterize the mineralized material at the El Gallo 1 Mine as proven or probable reserves, the amortization of the capitalized mineral property interests and asset retirement costs are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) based on the most appropriate amortization method, which includes the straight-line or units of production method over the estimated useful life of the mine. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $0. 8 million and $1.1 million, respectively (June 30, 2015, $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively), of amortization expense related to the El Gallo 1 Mine, which are included in Production Costs Applicable to Sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, of which $0. 1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to the amortization of capitalized asset retirement costs (June 30, 2015 - $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively) . |

INVESTMENT IN MINERA SANTA CRUZ S.A. (“MSC”) - SAN JOSÉ MINE | NOTE 5 INVESTMENT IN MINERA SANTA CRUZ S.A. (“MSC”) – SAN JOSÉ MINE The Company’s 49% attributable share of results of operations from its investment in MSC was income of $4.1 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively ( June 30, 2015 – losses of $ 2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively). These amounts include the amortization of the fair value increments arising from purchase price allocation and related income tax recovery. Included in the income tax recovery is the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the U.S. dollar on the peso-denominated deferred tax liability associated with the investment in MSC recorded as part of the acquisition of Minera Andes in 2012. As a devaluation of the Argentine peso relative to the U.S. dollar results in a recovery of deferred income taxes, the impact has been an increase in the income from the Company’s investment in MSC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received $2. 8 million and $5.4 million in dividends from MSC, respectively. This compares to $0.5 million received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Changes in the Company’s investment in MSC for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015 are as follows: Six months ended June 30, 2016 Year ended December 31, 2015 Investment in MSC, beginning of the period $ $ Attributable net income (loss) from MSC Amortization of fair value increments Income tax recovery Dividend distribution received Impairment of investment in MSC — Investment in MSC, end of the period $ $ A summary of the operating results from MSC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Minera Santa Cruz S.A.

These balances include the adjustments to fair value and amortization of the fair value increments arising from the purchase price allocation, net of impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding the fair value increments from the purchase price allocation, net of impairment charges, MSC had current assets of $107.0 million, total assets of $293.4 million, current liabilities of $49.1 million, and total liabilities of $81.9 million as at June 30, 2016. |

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | NOTE 8 SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 3. 6 million exchangeable shares were converted into common stock (June 30, 2015 – 1.4 million). At June 30, 2016, outstanding exchangeable shares not exchanged and not owned by the Company or its subsidiaries totaled 20.6 million (June 30, 2015 – 27.1 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 811,334 shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.33 per share for proceeds of $1.9 million. In comparison, there were no exercises of stock options during the same period of 2015. On June 18, 2015, the Board of Directors declared an annual return of capital distribution of $0.01 per share of common stock, payable semi-annually. The first semi-annual return of capital distribution payment of $0.005 was made on August 17, 2015 and the second payment of $0.005 was made on February 12, 2016, each for a total of $1.5 million. Return of capital distributions are paid to holders of the Company’s common stock and exchangeable shares. On October 1, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to 15,000,000 shares of its common stock over a twelve month period, with an authorized maximum of $15.0 million to be spent on the repurchases. Under the program, purchases of common stock may be made from time-to-time in the open market, subject to compliance with applicable U.S. and Canadian laws. The timing and amounts of any purchase are based on market conditions and other factors including share price, regulatory requirements and capital availability. Further, the repurchase program may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time, at the discretion of the Board of Directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company repurchased 557,991 shares of common stock (year-ended December 31, 2015 - 1,896,442) at a total cost of $0.6 million (December 31, 2015 - $1.8 million), all of which have been cancelled. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 430,295 shares of common stock under an agreement with one of its mining contractors to settle parts of its accounts payable for services rendered. The fair value of the common stock at the time of issuance was $ 0.4 million. The agreement with this mining contractor expired and was renegotiated during 2015 and under the revised agreement, the Company can no longer make share payments and instead is required to pay in cash. At the annual meeting held on May 31, 2016, the holders of exchangeable shares of McEwen Mining-Minera Andes Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“MAQ”), voted to amend its Articles of Incorporation to allow early redemption of all outstanding exchangeable shares for common stock of the Company. On July 25, 2016, the Company announced that MAQ had established a redemption date of August 23, 2016 in respect of all of its outstanding exchangeable shares and that McEwen Mining (Alberta) ULC ("McEwen (Alberta)") elected to exercise its overriding redemption call right to acquire all of the outstanding exchangeable shares (other than exchangeable shares held by the Company and its subsidiaries) on the business day immediately prior to the redemption date, being August 22, 2016. On August 22, 2016, it is anticipated that McEwen (Alberta) will acquire all of the exchangeable shares not yet redeemed for purchase consideration of one share of the Company’s common stock per exchangeable share. Following the redemption, it is expected that MAQ will apply to have the exchangeable shares delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). After August 22, 2016, former holders of exchangeable shares will not have any rights as holders thereof other than the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock. |

INCOME TAXES | NOTE 10 INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal and state statutory corporate income tax rate of 35% to income before taxes primarily resulting from valuation allowances being applied to losses, changes in recognition of certain deferred tax assets, changes in the de ferred tax liability associated with mineral property interests acquired in the Minera Andes acquisition and changes due to impairment of mineral property interests. The deferred tax liability is impacted by fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the Argentine peso and U.S. dollar. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $0.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as a result of the Argentine peso devaluation. In comparison, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, resulting from the Argentine peso devaluation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $10.0 million, corresponding to the impairment of mineral property interests described in Note 4, Mineral Property Interest and Asset Retirement Obligations . |

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE | |
INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE | NOTE 11 INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed similarly except that the weighted average number of common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments. Below is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares and exchangeable shares outstanding and the computations for basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 (amounts in thousands, except net income per share) Net income (loss) $ $ $ $ Weighted average common shares outstanding: Effect of employee stock-based awards — — Diluted shares outstanding: Net income (loss) per share: $ $ $ $ Diluted $ $ $ $ For the three months ended June 30, 2016, options to purchase 2.3 million shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015 – 4.4 million) at an average exercise price of $4.20 per share (June 30, 2015 – $3.36 ) were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average shares because the exercise price exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during that period . For the six months ended June 30, 2016, options to purchase 3.0 million shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015 – 4.4 million) at an average exercise price of $3.73 per share (June 30, 2015 – $3.49 ) were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average shares because the exercise price exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2016. |

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING | |
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING | NOTE 14 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis The following table identifies the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair Value as at June 30, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Investments $ $ $ $ — $ $ $ $ — Fair Value as at December 31, 2015 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Investments $ $ $ — $ — $ $ $ — $ — The Company's investments mainly consist of marketable equity securities which are exchange traded, and which are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the investments is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the number of shares held by the Company . Further, as noted in Note 2, Investments, the Company’s investments also include warrants to purchase common stock of Golden Predator. Since these warrants are not traded on an active market, they are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and historically negligible credit losses. |
