McEwen Inc. Joins Russell 2000®
Index

 

TORONTO, ONTARIO, June 29,
2026 – McEwen Inc. (NYSE/TSX: MUX) today announced that it has been added to the Russell 2000® Index
as part of the June 2026 Russell Reconstitution. The reconstitution becomes effective upon the opening of US equity markets on June 29,
2026. Membership in the Russell 2000® Index is based on inclusion in the broad-market Russell 3000®
Index.

 

The Russell 3000®
Index represents approximately 98% of the investable US equity market by market capitalization and serves as the foundation for the Russell
1000® and Russell 2000® indexes. The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the
largest 1,000 companies within the Russell 3000® Index, while the Russell 2000® Index measures the performance
of the smallest 2,000 companies within that universe.

 

Rob McEwen, Chairman
and Chief Owner of McEwen Inc., comments:

 

“We are delighted
that McEwen has been added to the Russell 2000® Index. We believe this inclusion will increase McEwen’s visibility
among institutional investors and index-tracking strategies. As we continue advancing our portfolio of gold, silver and copper assets,
we remain focused on executing our growth plans, strengthening operating performance and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

 

Russell indexes are global
benchmarks widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and active investment strategies. According
to data as of the end of June 2025, about $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong
to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.

 

Fiona Bassett, CEO of FTSE Russell, an LSEG Business,
comments:

 

“The Russell indexes have continuously
adapted to the evolving dynamic US economy, and it’s crucial to fully recalibrate the suite of Russell US Indexes, ensuring the
indexes maintain an accurate representation of the market. The transition to a semi-annual reconstitution frequency this year will ensure
our indexes continue to represent the market and maintain the purpose of the index as a portfolio benchmark.”
