McEwen Mining Inc. said Tuesday that it has signed an option to
become a majority joint-venture partner with mining major Rio Tinto
PLC in Nevada.
The Canadian gold and silver producer said that it has entered
into a binding term agreement with Rio Tinto's subsidiary,
Kennecott Exploration Co., for an option to earn a 60% interest in
the Elder Creek property.
To exercise the option, McEwen would have to pay $18 million,
after which the two parties would form an unincorporated joint
venture where McEwen would be the largest partner, and Kennecott
would be the project operator.
