Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project McEwen Mining Inc.'s cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 40.0% to 12.4% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 8, DPO 92, DIO 59). At a 8.8% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (135% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 11.4x to Year 6 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $7.51 per share, suggesting MUX is overvalued by 69.0% at the current price of $24.23.

Based on default parameters
Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project McEwen Mining Inc.'s cash flows over 10 years with analyst estimates for the first 3–5 years, fading toward long-term GDP growth for the remaining years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 40.0% to 4.1% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 8, DPO 92, DIO 59). At a 8.8% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (201% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 11.4x to Year 11 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $4.34 per share, suggesting MUX is overvalued by 82.1% at the current price of $24.23.
