Los Azules – Regional Advantage

• Los Azules is 6 km east of the Chilean-Argentine border. • The deposit is located on a copper porphyry belt host to some of the world's largest copper

mines including Codelco's El Teniente mine (world's largest underground copper mine), Anglo American's Los Bronces mine, Antofagasta's Los Pelambres mine and Xstrata's El Pachón project. Source: www.mcewenmining.com

Los Azules – Settlement Terms

1. TNR will receive a 0.4% net smelter returns royalty (NSR) in respect of the entire Los Azules Project

2. McEwen issued TNR 850,000 common shares

3. McEwen will pay TNR 1% of any purchase price paid to and received by McEwen in respect of any sale, assignment of transfer of all of its interest in the Project, to a party other than to an affiliate of McEwen, on or before the third anniversary of the Transfer Agreement.

* In the initial settlement TNR had a Back-in Right for up to 25% of the equity in certain claims comprising the northern portions of Los Azules. The Back-in Right

was exercisable after the completion of a bankable feasibility study. To exercise TNR would have had to pay two (2) times the expenses attributable to the back-in percentage (ie. paying 2 x 25% all of the costs attributable to the claims comprising the northern portion of the property). Upon backing-in, TNR may have elected to continue to participate in the project or be diluted down to a 0.6% NSR on the same claims comprising the northern portion of the project.

TNR Gold Corp. and McEwen Mining Inc. Agreed to Convert TNR’s Back in Right* to a

NSR on the Los Azules Copper Project, Argentina Terms:

Los Azules - Highlights

• Los Azules is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper deposits.

• McEwen Mining began a 15,000 meter drill program starting in October 12, 2012

• The property encompasses 50,933 acres and surrounds a large alteration zone that contains the resource which measures approximately 4 kilometers long by 1.5 kilometers wide.

Inferred Resource Estimate *: Shotgun Resource Estimate - modelled at an ~ 0.3 to 0.5 g/t cut-off.

* The Shotgun Ridge prospect contains an inferred mineral resource of 20,734,313 tonnes at 1.06 grams per tonne (“g/t”) for a total of 705,960 ounces gold (“Au”) using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off. The inferred mineral resource estimate was prepared by Allan Armitage, PhD., P.Geol., of GeoVector Management Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining (CIM) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and the National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The Shotgun Zone mineral resource estimate, publicly reported on April 22, 2013, is based on 34 diamond drill holes (NQ) totalling 4,932.3 metres, with 2,481 assays (0.2 up to 10 metres in length). Holes were drilled by several operators in five drill campaigns conducted between 1984 and 2012. The 34 drill holes are spaced primarily 40 to 100 metres apart in an area of approximately 375 x 300 metres. The drill holes tested mineralization to a vertical depth up to 150 metres. A resource model for the Shotgun Zone was constructed based on the distribution of the gold mineralization (> 0.3 to 0.5 g/t Au) and this model was used to constrain the composite values chosen for interpolation. A block model with block dimensions of 5 x 5 x 5 metres in the x, y and z directions was placed over resource model solids with only that proportion of each block below the topographic/overburden surface and inside the solid recorded. Grades for gold were interpolated into the blocks by the inverse distance squared (“ID2”) method using a minimum of 2 and maximum of 12 composites to generate block grades in the Inferred resource category. The search ellipse used to interpolate grade into the blocks measured 110 x 60 x 110 (Principle Az – 235°, Principle Dip - 25°, Intermediate Az.- 325°). The size and orientation of the search ellipse approximates the strike, dip and thickness of the resource model and takes into account the limited drilling and relatively wide spacing of the drilling. There are currently no known encumbrances with regards to legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the Shotgun Ridge prospect, and however, the EPA is conducting an environmental review of the Bristol Bay watershed in response to the proposed development of the Pebble Deposit, approximately 150 kilometres to the southeast of Shotgun Ridge. The mineral resources reported herein are classified as inferred mineral resources according the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. No economic studies were undertaken on this mineral resource estimate and it should be noted that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and there is no guarantee that the current mineral resource at Shotgun Ridge will result in an economically viable deposit.

• Mineralization in 12-57 shows NE Zone continuing down-dip in structure defined by IP

• 12-58 shows elevated gold grades encountered down-dip in SW Zone

• Mineralization is open at depth and near surface – relative chargeability low

Shotgun Project - Opportunity

Camp Scale Opportunity

Shotgun Ridge is just one of multiple gold target areas

Gold mineralization identified at each prospect: Shot, King, and Winchester

This group of prospects forms a distinct gold district held 100% by TNR

Surface geochemistry identifies multiple gold anomalies with no known source

Poor outcrop limited prospecting efforts in the past
