**Cautionary Statement****

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in the shareholder communication include forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates contained therein. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding current and future exploration and development activities. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates include, among others, precious metals prices, economic and market conditions and future drilling results, as well as other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Most of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to predict or control. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made in the shareholder communication. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

U.S. investors should be aware that McEwen Mining has no “reserves” as defined by Industry Guide 7 adopted by the SEC, and are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineralization will ever be confirmed or converted into Guide 7 compliant “reserves.”
