NOTE 3 OPERATING SEGMENT REPORTING

McEwen Mining is a mining and minerals production and exploration company focused on precious and base metals in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina. The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the executive leadership team of the Company. The CODM reviews operating results, assesses performance and makes decisions about allocation of resources to these segments at the geographic region level, by major mine/project where the economic characteristics of the individual mines or projects within a geographic region are not alike, or by investee for those which are considered a reportable segment.  As a result, these operating segments also represent the Company’s reportable segments.

The CODM reviews segment income or loss, defined as gold and silver sales less production costs applicable to sales, depreciation and depletion, advanced projects, and exploration costs and an allocation of other segment items for all segments except for the McEwen Copper and MSC segments, which are evaluated based on the attributable equity income or loss pickup. The CODM uses segment gross profit (loss) and profit (loss) before taxes, or income (loss) from equity method investments, to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) for each segment. The CODM predominantly considers such measures in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances for operating segments on a quarterly basis to support resource allocation and performance evaluation.

Gold and silver sales and production costs applicable to sales for the reportable segments are reported net of intercompany transactions. Capital expenditures include costs capitalized in mineral property interests and plant and equipment in the respective periods.

The disclosed figures incorporate the amendments to ASC 280, Segment Reporting, as outlined in ASU 2023-07. These amendments were applied retroactively, with comparative figures recast to align with the current year's presentation.

Significant information relating to the Company’s reportable operating segments for the years presented is summarized in the tables below:
