EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by McEwen Mining Inc. (the “Company”) on October 6, 2017 (the “Initial Form 8-K”) to provide financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K for the acquisition by the Company of the Black Fox Complex and associated assets and liabilities from Primero Mining Corp. (“Acquired Business”). 

Because the Acquired Business was part of a legal entity, and the Company did not acquire the entire entity or all of the assets and liabilities of the entity, the financial information is presented in the form of carve-out financial statements, which represent the activities, assets and liabilities of the Acquired Business on a “carve-out” basis from the consolidated financial statements of Primero Mining Corp. and present the carve-out financial position, operations, and cash flows of the Acquired Business as if the Acquired Business had been accounted for on a stand-alone basis and include the Acquired Business’ share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a) Financial statements of business  acquired.

The audited carve-out financial statements of the Acquired Business as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and unaudited carve-out financial statements of the Acquired Business as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the accompanying notes thereto and the related Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

The unaudited carve-out condensed financial statements of the Acquired Business as of September 30, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the accompanying notes thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K/A.

(b) Pro forma financial information.

The unaudited pro forma financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the accompanying notes thereto, after giving effect to the acquisition by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, McEwen Ontario, of the Acquired Business, are filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Form 8-K/A.
