Is the mining sector really at the bottom of the cycle? Kitco’s Senior Mining Editor and Anchor Paul Harris interviews Rob McEwen, Executive Chair & Chief Owner of McEwen Mining, at the 2025 Mines and Money Conference in Miami. McEwen shares his insights on the current commodity cycle, highlighting that commodities are at a 10-12-year low relative to financial assets and are expected to rise. He also discusses the Los Azules project in Argentina and McEwen Mining's innovative approach to sustainable mining.

Key Points:
- Commodities are at the bottom of their cycle and are expected to increase.
- Geopolitical tensions and underinvestment are driving commodity prices.
- Los Azules project: Aims for sustainable mining with a focus on community and environmental benefits.
- RIGI regime in Argentina could significantly increase the net present value of Los Azules.
- Mining companies should focus on attracting investors through enthusiasm, dividends, and showcasing technology.
