Toronto, Canada (ABN Newswire) - Rob McEwen, Chairman of McEwen Mining (NYSE:MUX) and one of North America's most successful gold miners, will be in London to make a keynote address at the Mines and Money conference at The Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Water Street, Islington, London, at 9:25 a.m.

Mr. McEwen is a much-quoted authority on world monetary, gold and mining developments in North America. Among his many achievements, he discovered and developed the world's richest gold mine - the Red Lake Mine in Northern Ontario - and went on to found Goldcorp, Inc., now one of the world's top gold producers.

An ardent advocate for gold as money and as an indispensable part of today's investment portfolio, he has long forecast that the gold price will ascend to $5,000 an ounce and as investors in the U.S. and around the world edge nearer toward the so called Fiscal Cliff - a merger of across the board tax increases and spending and entitlement cuts scheduled for the first quarter of 2012 - a growing number of market observers tend to believe that demand for gold will push the price of the metal up to new heights.

His presentation - a blend of economic and monetary assessment and forecast and its impact on gold and vice versa - is always thought provoking and much quoted by gold and market pundits in North America and aboard.

Mr. McEwen is currently Chairman of McEwen Mining (NYSE:MUX) (TSE:MUX) with production and exploration projects for gold, silver and copper in Mexico, Argentina and Nevada. He owns 25% of the $1 billion market cap company listed on the Toronto, New York and Frankfurt Exchanges.
