  "Copper and Lithium become the strategic metals for the ongoing green revolution. Solar and Wind Energy and Electric Cars will drive the new demand for these metals. Solar Energy is growing very fast all over the world now. Energy Storage will be the next step to ignite this growth. This is the new focus of Elon Musk and his Gigafactory. He will introduce the home storage system based on the lithium batteries in the next few months. Copper will have its special place in this mass scale roll out of distributed energy generation systems with Wind and Solar Power. Integral part of this system - Energy Storage is getting popular now with Elon Musk Gigafactory and Warren Buffet with BYD making the headlines. These Trillion Dollar industries: Electric Cars and Energy Storage will drive the demand for Copper and Lithium in the future. Read more."

Over the past twenty-five years TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high quality exploration projects around the globe.  With the Company’s expertise, resources and industry network, it is well positioned to aggressively identify, source, explore, partner and continue to expand its project portfolio.
In 2014 TNR Gold converted a back-in right on a portion of the Los Azules copper deposit in Argentina, owned by McEwen Mining, into a 0.4% NSR on the entire Los Azules deposit (see news release dated 17 October 2014).
In 2013 TNR Gold reported an inferred mineral resource at the Shotgun Gold project in Alaska containing 20,734,313 tonnes at 1.06 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold for a total of 705,960 ounces gold (“Au”) using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off (see news release dated 22 April 2013).

TNR Gold and McEwen Mining Agree to Convert TNR’s Back in Right to a NSR on the Los Azules Copper Project, Argentina.




McEwen Mining:


"The termination of the back-in right removes a legal uncertainty over a contingent ownership interest in the project. Now, we own an uncontested 100% interest in Los Azules. We believe this transaction will make this large asset more attractive and marketable to potential joint venture partners and investors. The recent purchase of another large copper project in Argentina for more than $400 million is most encouraging. It suggests a positive change in market sentiment regarding Argentina is occurring. Both large copper producers looking for sources of future copper production growth and some big name investors appear prepared to once again invest inArgentina," said Rob McEwen , Chief Owner.
Los Azules is a large, high-grade, open pit copper project. At a cut-off grade of 0.35% Cu, Los Azules contains a resource of 5.4 billion pounds in the indicated category (389 million tonnes at 0.64% Cu) and 14.3 billion pounds in the inferred category (1,397 million tonnes at 0.46% Cu).
Los Azules is an advanced-stage porphyry copper exploration project located in San Juan ProvinceArgentina near the border with Chile. The border region between Chile and Argentina is home to some of the world's largest porphyry copper projects, including Lumina Copper Corp.'sTaca Taca Project which was recently bought by First Quantum Minerals Ltd. for approximately $428 million.
In exchange for the termination of the back-in right, TNR will receive a 0.4% net smelter royalty on Los Azules, 850,000 shares of McEwen Mining and, if McEwen Mining sells all of its interest in the project within thirty-six months of closing the transaction, a bonus payment equal to 1% of the gross proceeds will be paid to TNR."

TNR Gold and McEwen Mining Agree to Convert TNR’s Back in Right to a NSR on the Los Azules Copper Project, Argentina




I am very pleased to report our latest development on Los Azules.

We have finally locked up the participation in this unique world-class copper  asset for the benefit of all our shareholders:

1. Now we do not have to wait for feasibility study.

2. We do not have to contribute any capital.

3. Our industry standard NSR to "one of the largest undeveloped copper projects", according to McEwen Mining, is in effect immediately and can be monetised now at any time.

4. 0.4% NSR is now attributed to the entire Los Azules project - it is higher than pro-rata 0.6% attributed to only our part of Los Azules before.

5. We will participate in sale of Los Azules by McEwen Mining within 36 month and it is not affecting our NSR. 

6. We are receiving shares in McEwen Mining.

7. Now TNR Gold will benefit directly from:

A. Sale of Los Azules by McEwen Mining within 36 months.
B. Rise in value of McEwen mining shares.
C. Rise in Copper prices.
D. Potential increase in the deposit size and quality of the reported resources of the entire Los Azules.
E. Further feasibility studies conducted by the McEwen Mining or the new Operator and advancement of the project.

Jim Mustard VP of PI Financial can provide you with additional information on Los Azules Copper project and TNR Gold assets related to it.


Please read our full legal disclaimer in our presentation and on our website: http://www.tnrgoldcorp.com/

Stay tuned: new presentation will reflect this very important development for our company.






TNR Gold:


TNR GOLD CORP. AND MCEWEN MINING INC. AGREE TO CONVERT TNR’S BACK IN RIGHT TO A NSR ON THE LOS AZULES COPPER PROJECT, ARGENTINA

Vancouver, B.C. October 17, 2014, TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company" or “TNR) (TSX VENTURE:TNR.V ) announces that it has entered into a transfer agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE:MUX, TSX:MUX) ("McEwen") pursuant to which the Company will convert all of rights and interests (the “E&O Agreement Rights”)  under a Cordon de Los Azules Exploration and Option Agreement dated effective as of May 15, 2004, as amended April 26, 2005 and November 8, 2012, including its 25% back-in right (the “Back-In Right”) in the northern portion of the Los Azules Copper Project (the “Project”) in San Juan Province, Argentina.  The Back-In Right is exercisable following the completion of a feasibility study and if the Company elected to back-in for 5% or less or had its interest diluted to 5% or less, TNR would receive a net smelter royalty of 0.6% from the northern portion of the Project (see TNR News Release November 12, 2012).
In exchange for TNR converting the E&O Agreement Rights, McEwen will:
 (1) cause its  wholly owned Argentinian subsidiary, Andes Corporacion  Minera S.A. (“Andes”) to enter into a net smelter royalty agreement with Compania Minera Solitario Argentina S.A.  (“Solitario”), an Argentinian company controlled by TNR,  pursuant to which Andes will pay Solitario a 0.4% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) in respect of the entire Project;

(2) issue TNR 850,000 common shares; and

(3) 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.

The Company believes converting the E&O Agreement Rights are in the best interest of its shareholders because it clarifies the ambiguity surrounding the details of the Back-In Right and the conditions under which the Back-In Right can be exercised.

Gary Schellenberg, President and CEO of TNR commented, “We have noted significant confusion in some of our shareholders regarding the particulars of the Back-In Right. It is the goal of TNR, through its lead generator business model, to advance toward the royalty ownership model as our projects, identified at an early stage of exploration, are advanced toward development by joint venture partners. This latest agreement with McEwen now completes the process for the Los Azules Project.”

 “We are very pleased to reach this agreement with McEwen. I would like to thank Rob McEwen personally for his efforts to work with us to find an amenable solution to simplify the Back-In Right at Los Azules. I am confident this transaction will facilitate the advancement of the Los Azules Project. Los Azules is a unique, long-life, copper mining opportunity in Argentina. Recent acquisitions which include the Las Bambas copper mining project in Peru acquired by Minmetals Group from China and the Taca Taca copper deposit in Argentina acquired by First Quantum Minerals Ltd. confirm there is significant value to be realized for projects in this region. TNR Gold now carries an industry standard NSR on the entire Los Azules project which also allows McEwen Mining to facilitate further strategic transactions with this Project and I believe the shareholders of TNR will benefit as the Project advances through the feasibility stages,” commented Mr. Kirill Klip, Non-Executive Chairman of TNR.

ABOUT LOS AZULES

The Los Azules copper deposit is located in the San Juan province of Argentina. McEwen is the current operator on the Los Azules copper deposit and the Company has previously advised that on May 15, March 28, and March 13, 2013, McEwen Mining Inc. issued press releases in relation to the deposit, which are accessible on SEDAR athttp://www.sedar.com and on McEwen Mining Inc.’s website at http://mcewenmining.com.

Rob McEwen Live On Gold, Silver And Los Azules Copper Potential Value Based on Lumina Copper Buyout.

  

  We have the opportunity to listen to Rob McEwen today: a lot of investors will be surprised that GDXJ has outperformed S&P this year. Despite of despair in the Gold market place the Gold performance and Gold miners performance is changing this year and Gold miners are leading the Gold. As you know, we are following Los Azules copper here with TNR Gold, today you can appreciate the potential value of this asset based on Lumina Copper buyout. Rob McEwen finally started to promote Los Azules: "... Soros moves to Argentina ... Lumina Copper was bought out ... there is an asset there which we will continue to market."




Acquisitions signal a turning market for miners. Canadian Junior TNR Gold holds back-in right into one of the largest copper deposits in the world.


"Los Azules is a unique, long-life, copper mining opportunity in Argentina," commented Kirill Klip, Non-Executive Chairman of TNR. "Recent acquisitions, which include the Las Bambas copper mining project in Peru acquired by Minmetals Group from China and the Taca Taca copper deposit in Argentina acquired by First Quantum Minerals, confirm there is significant value to be realized for projects in this region. We are pleased that large-scale, capital intensive projects like Los Azules are attracting attention from global mining companies, increasing our ability to monetize our portion of the asset."

TNR Gold Corp. Comments on Recent News by McEwen Mining on the Los Azules Copper Project, Argentina.



Kirill Klip.:


TNR Gold Corp. Comments on Recent News by McEwen Mining on the Los Azules Copper Project, Argentina.



Copper M&A in Latin America, TNR Gold And McEwen Mining With Los Azules Copper.


 "We have the great news from McEwen Mining, you can Google for the whole news release. Before the value for Los Azules was based on the acquisition price paid by US Gold for Minera Andes. After the collapse in Gold prices and Argentina troubled couple of years this accounting value has became the wishful history. Now based on the valuations of Taca Taca in First Quantum Minerals takeover of Lumina Copper McEwen Mining will make the conservative accounting valuation of Los Azules. Normally the selling price for the assets is above such an assessment. You will have to make your own numbers or contact Jim Mustard at PI Financial, who is acting on behalf of TNR Gold. Read more."

TNR GOLD CORP. COMMENTS ON RECENT NEWS BY MCEWEN MINING ON THE LOS AZULES COPPER PROJECT, ARGENTINA


Vancouver, B.C. August 13, 2014, TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company" or “TNR) (TSX VENTURE: TNR.V) advises that McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE:MUX, TSX:MUX) ("McEwen Mining") has issued news releases dated 17 July, 2014 and 07 August, 2014 in relation to the Los Azules Copper Project in San Juan Province, Argentina. TNR holds a 25% back-in right, exercisable upon the completion of a feasibility study, on the northern part of the Los Azules property.
The news releases issued by McEwen Mining summarize the results of an impairment test conducted on Los Azules as a result of the recently announced acquisition of Lumina Copper Corp. by First Quantum Minerals Ltd. to gain ownership of the Taca Taca copper project in Salta, Argentina. McEwen Mining recognized that the similarities between Los Azules and Taca Taca in terms of project scale and location within Argentina gave sufficient cause for the impairment analysis that resulted in McEwen Mining recording an impairment charge for Los Azules in its second quarter.
The Company is of the view that the impairment recorded by McEwen Mining on Los Azules does not have an adverse affect on the Company's valuation of its back-in right in the Los Azules deposit and the ongoing evaluation of the sale of its rights to the deposit (see TNR news release May 8, 2013).
In their press release dated 17 July 2014 Rob McEwen states, "With First Quantum acquiring Lumina Copper and their Taca Taca project, Los Azules moves to the forefront in terms of world-class, undeveloped, high-grade copper assets not owned by a major mining company. As we have said in the past, Taca Taca serves as a good proxy for the value of Los Azules and we believe this transaction demonstrates value in projects located in Argentina."  The news release is available at SEDARhttp://www.sedar.com and on the McEwen Mining website http://www.mcewenmining.com.  TNR encourages its shareholders to read the press releases issued by McEwen Mining to gain a better understanding of the work performed and the potential impacts this will have on the project.
McEwen Mining's press releases appear to be prepared by Qualified Persons and the procedures, methodology and key assumptions disclosed therein are those adopted and consistently applied in the mining industry, but no Qualified Person engaged by TNR Gold Corp. has done sufficient work to analyze, interpret, classify or verify McEwen Mining's information to determine the current mineral reserve or resource or other information referred to in the press release. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned in placing any reliance on the disclosures therein.
“Los Azules is a unique, long-life, copper mining opportunity in Argentina. Recent acquisitions that include the Las Bambas copper mining project in Peru acquired by Minmetals Group from China and the Taca Taca copper deposit in Argentina acquired by First Quantum Minerals confirm there is significant value to be realized for projects in this region. We are pleased that large-scale, capital intensive projects like Los Azules are attracting attention from global mining companies, increasing our ability to monetize our portion of the asset. In our opinion, McEwen Mining's latest analysis provides a solid base value for the asset,” commented Mr. Kirill Klip, Non-Executive Chairman of TNR.
The Company has a 25% back-in right in the Northern Portion of the Los Azules property which is exercisable following the completion of a feasibility study.  If the Company elects to back-in for 5% or less or has its interest diluted to 5% or less, TNR will receive a net smelter royalty of 0.6% from the Northern Portion. 
The Los Azules copper deposit is located in the San Juan province of Argentina. McEwen Mining Inc. is the current operator on the Los Azules copper deposit and the Company has previously advised that on May 15, March 28, and March 13, 2013, McEwen Mining Inc. issued press releases in relation to the deposit, which are accessible on Sedar at http://www.sedar.com and on McEwen Mining Inc’s website athttp://mcewenmining.com.
