VIDEO: Rob McEwen, maverick mining legend & green copper visionary

Within the mining industry, the name Rob McEwen needs no further introduction.

The Canadian businessman has had a legendary career, beginning with his founding of Goldcorp, which was acquired by Newmont in a $10 billion deal, to being a key figure behind McEwen Mining, a company with half a billion (USD) in market capitalization.

Now a Canadian Mining Hall of Famer, McEwen has set his sights on developing the world’s biggest green copper mines that are environmentally sustainable and also serve as destination-worthy sites. A key part of this vision is the creation of McEwen Copper for the development of the Los Azules project in Argentina, a 27-year mine in the making.

This week, McEwen sat down with CEO.ca to discuss his decades-long journey, detailing dramatic stories developed along the way, both within the boardrooms and at mine sites, as well as his approach to revolutionizing the mining industry.
