McEwen Grey Fox PFS Shows High Returns, Mine Life Extended to 2041
McEwen Mining's pre-feasibility study for the Grey Fox project near Timmins, Ontario, projects high returns and extends Fox Complex mine life to 2041, with peak gold production of ~100,000 ounces in 2029.
McEwen Mining has released the results of a pre-feasibility study for its 100%-owned Grey Fox project near Timmins, Ontario, indicating strong economic returns and an extended mine life for the Fox Complex.
The PFS outlines that Grey Fox is expected to become a major ore source for the Fox Complex, boosting total gold production to approximately 100,000 ounces in 2029 and averaging around 87,000 ounces annually from 2028 through 2041. This production growth supports McEwen's near-term target of reaching 250,000–300,000 gold equivalent ounces per year. The study highlights manageable capital requirements and high internal rates of return, reinforcing the project's viability.
For gold and precious metals traders, this development adds to the supply-side narrative for North American gold production. While the project is several years from full output, it underscores ongoing investment in high-grade Canadian gold assets.
