SSR Mining Reports First Quarter 2026 ResultsMay 5, 2026 4:10 PM
Business Wire SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining" or the “Company") reports consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Consolidated continuing operating results: First quarter 2026 production was 109,914 gold equivalent ounces at consolidated cost of sales of $1,727 per payable ounce and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of $2,433 per payable ounce.(1) The first quarter operating results were well aligned with Company expectations and SSR Mining remains on track for full-year 2026 production guidance of 450,000 to 535,000 gold equivalent ounces. Çöpler sale: On March 4, 2026, SSR Mining announced a binding memorandum of understanding to sell its 80% ownership stake in the Çöpler mine and related properties in Türkiye (collectively, “Çöpler”) to Cengiz Holding A.S. (“Cengiz”) for $1.5 billion in cash (the "Çöpler Transaction"). Subsequently, on March 24, 2026, the Company signed a definitive share purchase agreement formalizing the terms of the Çöpler Transaction. Çöpler is now classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial reporting. The Çöpler Transaction is expected to close before the end of the third quarter of 2026. Financial results: In the first quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations of $252.5 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, and adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations of $250.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share. In the first quarter of 2026, operating cash flow from continuing operations was $299.6 million and free cash flow from continuing operations was $210.8 million. Inclusive of costs incurred at Çöpler in the quarter, operating cash flow was $264.5 million and free cash flow was $175.2 million. Cash and liquidity position from continuing operations: As of March 31, 2026, SSR Mining had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $634.1 million and total liquidity of $1,134.1 million, inclusive of the Company’s undrawn revolving credit facility and accompanying accordion feature. During the quarter, the Company announced the redemption of its Convertible Notes, which resulted in holders exercising rights to convert the Convertible Notes into SSR Mining common shares. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million of Convertible Notes was converted to 13.1 million common shares and the Company paid approximately $2.6 million in cash to redeem unconverted Convertible Notes, to fund required payments in connection with the conversion and redemption, and for other related costs incurred through the conversion and redemption process. As of March 31, 2026, SSR Mining had no significant long-term debt outstanding. In addition, during the quarter, SSR Mining made a $87.5 million contingent payment related to the Carlton Tunnel at CC&V. Capital returns: On February 13, 2026, SSR Mining’s Board of Directors approved a share buyback program of up to $300 million and, on March 31, 2026, the Company received regulatory approval for its Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). Subsequent to the quarter, SSR Mining completed approximately $300 million in share buybacks through the repurchase of 9.2 million shares. Since 2021, SSR Mining has now repurchased 29.2 million shares at an average price of $21.06 per share, delivering significant per share value accretion to shareholders. Total capital returned to shareholders since the start of 2021 is approximately $775 million. Hod Maden: Following the sale of Çöpler, SSR Mining’s interest in the Hod Maden development project remains under strategic review. While this process is ongoing, SSR Mining expects to incur minimal capital costs. In the first quarter of 2026, SSR Mining made $30.6 million in growth capital investments at Hod Maden. An update on the Hod Maden strategic review is expected before the end of the third quarter. Development & exploration: SSR Mining continues to advance key brownfield organic growth projects across the portfolio, including Buffalo Valley at Marigold, Cortaderas at Puna, and Porky at Seabee. These projects represent high-return development opportunities and have the potential to meaningfully extend the mine lives at each asset. SSR Mining remains on track to spend $35 million on growth exploration and resource development initiatives in 2026 as it aims to identify and advance growth targets across its portfolio. Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining, said, “The first quarter of 2026 marked a significant milestone for our business with the definitive agreement to sell our ownership in Çöpler for $1.5 billion in cash. This transaction, together with last year’s extremely successful acquisition of Cripple Creek & Victor, positions SSR Mining firmly in the Americas and re-establishes our Company as a leader in free cash flow generation. In the first quarter, we generated $300 million in operating cash flow and $211 million in free cash flow. Subsequent to quarter-end, we returned $300 million to shareholders through our share buyback program. Looking ahead, we are in the strongest financial position in our company’s history. We expect our low-risk, free cash flow leading Americas-focused platform to support a premium valuation as we regain our position as a leading mid-cap gold producer.” Financial and Operating Summary A summary of the Company's consolidated financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 are presented below: (in thousands, except per share data or otherwise stated) Three Months Ended

Sustaining capital spend at Marigold totaled $21.0 million in the first quarter and remains on track with full-year guidance of $106 million, with sustaining capital expected to increase in the second and third quarters due to the timing of spend on fleet replacements and upgrades. Accordingly, AISC are now expected to peak in the second quarter of 2026. SSR Mining is advancing growth initiatives across Marigold, including Buffalo Valley, with an updated life of mine plan incorporating these potential growth opportunities expected over the next 12 months. Ongoing exploration and evaluation of other brownfield targets, including New Millennium, Marigold North, and DG80, continues in support of longer-term growth and mine life extension.

During the first quarter of 2026, Puna reported cost of sales of $25.91 per payable ounce and AISC of $23.14 per payable ounce. Ore in the first quarter of 2026 was largely sourced from surface stockpiles as mining operations were focused on waste stripping at Chinchillas. The average realized silver price in the first quarter of 2026 was $91.79 per ounce, driving mine site revenue of $179 million and mine site free cash flow of over $120 million, further reinforcing Puna as one of the highest-margin primary silver mines globally. The Company remains on track for full-year 2026 production guidance for Puna is 6.25 to 7.00 million ounces of silver at mine site cost of sales of $22.30 to $24.30 per payable ounce and AISC of $20.00 to $22.00 per payable ounce. Production at Puna remains approximately 50 to 55% weighted to the first half of 2026.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures We have included certain non-GAAP performance measures throughout this document. These performance measures are employed by us to measure our operating and economic performance internally and to assist in decision-making, as well as to provide key performance information to senior management. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders also use this information to evaluate our operating and financial performance; however, these non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. Accordingly, these performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Total Cash, Total Debt, Net Cash (Debt), Total Liquidity, Cash costs, AISC per ounce sold, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders, free cash flow, and mine site free cash flow are Non-GAAP Measures with no standardized definition under U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP Measure – Total Cash, Total Debt, Net Cash (Debt) and Total Liquidity Total cash, Total debt, and Net cash (debt) are used by management and investors to measure the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company believes that these measures are a useful measure for shareholders as it helps evaluate liquidity and available cash. The Company believes that liquidity and available cash will be sufficient to sustain the operational needs of the Company for the next twelve months. Total cash is calculated as Cash and cash equivalents plus Restricted cash and Total debt is calculated as the face value of the Company’s Convertible Notes plus other current debt. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents to net cash: As of (in thousands) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 Cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations (GAAP) $ 634,086 $ 524,750 Restricted cash $ — $ — Total cash from continuing operations (non-GAAP) $ 634,086 $ 524,750 Face value of Convertible Notes $ — $ 230,000 Other current debt $ — $ — Total debt from continuing operations (non-GAAP) $ — $ 230,000 Net cash (debt) from continuing operations (non-GAAP) $ 634,086 $ 294,750 In addition to Net cash (debt), the Company also uses Total liquidity to measure its financial position. Total liquidity is calculated as Cash and cash equivalents plus Restricted cash and borrowing capacity under current revolving credit facilities, including accordion features. As of March 31, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding on the Company’s $400 million credit facility with a $100 million accordion feature. The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents to Total liquidity: As of (in thousands) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 Cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations (GAAP) $ 634,086 $ 524,750 Restricted cash $ — $ — Total cash from continuing operations (non-GAAP) $ 634,086 $ 524,750 Borrowing capacity on credit facility $ 400,000 $ 400,000 Borrowing capacity on accordion feature of credit facility $ 100,000 $ 100,000 Total liquidity from continuing operations (non-GAAP) (11) $ 1,134,086 $ 1,024,750 (11) Excludes letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the company had $0.5 million in letters of credit. Inclusive of these letters of credit, total liquidity is $1,133.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and $1,034.3 million as of December 31, 2025. Non-GAAP Measure - Cash Costs and AISC Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per payable ounce of gold and respective unit cost measures are non-U.S. GAAP metrics developed by the World Gold Council to provide transparency into the costs associated with producing gold and provide a standard for comparison across the industry. The World Gold Council is a market development organization for the gold industry. The Company uses cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold and AISC per ounce of precious metals to monitor its operating performance internally. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is cost of sales. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits on its cost structure. The Company also believes it is a relevant metric used to understand its operating profitability. When deriving the cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, the Company includes by-product credits, which allows management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold and silver production. AISC includes total cost of sales incurred at the Company's mining operations, which forms the basis of cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining mine-site exploration and evaluation costs, reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. This measure seeks to reflect the ongoing cost of gold and silver production from current operations; therefore, growth capital is excluded. The Company determines sustaining capital to be capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. The Company determines growth capital to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation. The Company believes that AISC provides additional information to management and stakeholders that provides visibility to better define the total costs associated with production and better understanding of the economics of the Company's operations and performance compared to other producers. In deriving the number of ounces of precious metal sold, the Company considers the physical ounces available for sale after the treatment and refining process, commonly referred to as payable metal, as this is what is sold to third parties.

Figures may not add due to rounding. In 2026, in an effort to limit the impact of gold and silver price volatility, SSR Mining will fix its gold to silver ratio for the purposes of GEO calculations to 63:1. See “Assumptions” earlier in the endnotes of this press release for additional information. (20) The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures including cash costs and AISC per ounce sold to manage and evaluate its operating performance at its mines. Cost of sales excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Total AISC includes G&A costs and share-based compensation but excludes any care & maintenance costs incurred at Çöpler. Consolidated AISC reflects the cash component of care & maintenance costs incurred at Çöpler in the event the operation did not restart within 2026. (21) Refer to “2026 Capital Guidance” table within the press release titled “SSR Mining Reports Full-Year Results and 2026 Operating Guidance” dated February 17, 2026 for a breakdown of sustaining capital expenditures. No material capital expenditures for Çöpler are included in this guidance. (22) Share-based compensation guidance uses a reference price of approximately US$32.50 per share. (23) Reflects the cash component of care & maintenance expenses of approximately $20 - $25 million per quarter that are expected to be incurred at Çöpler. At this time the Company is not able to estimate or predict if, when and under what conditions operations will resume. Non-GAAP Measure - Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to SSR Mining Shareholders Adjusted attributable net income (loss) and adjusted attributable net income (loss) per share are used by management to measure the Company's underlying operating performance. We believe this measure is also useful for shareholders to assess the Company’s operating performance. The most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP are net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders and net income (loss) per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company's underlying operations, including the impacts of impairment charges; and inflationary impacts on tax balances. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders to adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders: (in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders (GAAP) $ (106,450) $ 58,781 Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from discontinued operations (GAAP) $ (358,926) $ (26,920) Net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations (GAAP) $ 252,476 $ 85,701 Interest saving on Convertible Notes, net of tax $ 916 $ 1,232 Net income used in the calculation of diluted net income per share from continuing operations $ 253,392 $ 86,933 Weighted-average shares used in the calculation of net income (loss) per share Basic 205,619 202,420 Diluted 217,651 216,546 Net income per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations Basic $ 1.23 $ 0.42 Diluted $ 1.16 $ 0.40 Adjustments: CC&V transaction and integration costs $ — $ 6,795 Change in fair value of marketable securities $ (838) $ (1,656) Income tax impact related to above adjustments $ 338 $ (903) Inflationary impacts on tax balances $ (2,815) $ (2,695) Adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations (Non-GAAP) $ 250,077 $ 88,474 Adjusted net income per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations (Non-GAAP) Basic $ 1.22 $ 0.44 Diluted (24) $ 1.15 $ 0.41 (24) Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from continuing operations is calculated using diluted common shares, which are calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP Measure - Free Cash Flow From Continuing Operations, Cash Flow From Operating Activities From Continuing Operations Before Changes in Working Capital, Free Cash Flow From Continuing Operations Before Changes in Working Capital, and Mine Site Free Cash Flow The Company uses free cash flow and mine site free cash flow to supplement information in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to free cash flow is cash provided by operating activities and the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to mine site free cash flow is mine segment revenue. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the ability of the Company to generate cash flow after capital investments and build the Company's cash resources and, with respect to one of mine segments, to evaluate the cash generated from a mine. The Company calculates free cash flow by deducting cash capital spending from cash generated by operating activities. The Company does not deduct payments made for business acquisitions. The Company calculates mine site free cash flow by deducting cost of sales, exploration, evaluation, and reclamation expenditures, cash care and maintenance, capital expenditures and taxes from revenue from a particular segment. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow: (in thousands of US dollars) Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Cash provided by operating activities from operations (GAAP) $ 264,489 $ 82,336 Expenditures on mineral properties, plant and equipment from operations $ (89,307) $ (45,507) Free cash flow from operations (non-GAAP) $ 175,182 $ 36,829 Cash provided by operating activities from operations (GAAP) $ 264,489 $ 82,336 Cash provided by (used in) operating activities from discontinued operations (GAAP) $ (35,119) $ (34,365) Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations (GAAP) $ 299,608 $ 116,701 Expenditures on mineral properties, plant and equipment from continuing operations $ (88,826) $ (44,807) Free cash flow from continuing operations (non-GAAP) $ 210,782 $ 71,894 We also present operating cash flow before working capital adjustments and free cash flow before working capital adjustments as non-GAAP cash flow measures to supplement our operating cash flow and free cash flow (non-GAAP) measures. We believe presenting both operating cash flow and free cash flow before working capital adjustments, which reflects an exclusion of net changes in operating assets and liabilities, will be useful for investors because it presents cash flow that is actually generated from the continuing business. The Company calculates cash generated by (used in) operating activities before changes in working capital by adjusting cash generated by (used in) operating activities by the net change in operating assets and liabilities. The Company also calculates free cash flow before changes in working capital by deducting cash capital spending from cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to cash generated by (used in) operating activities before changes in working capital, and free cash flow before changes in working capital: (in thousands of US dollars) Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Cash provided by operating activities from operations (GAAP) $ 264,489 $ 82,336 Cash provided by (used in) operating activities from discontinued operations (GAAP) $ (35,119) $ (34,365) Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations (GAAP) $ 299,608 $ 116,701 Net change in operating assets and liabilities $ 9,573 $ 14,528 Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations before changes in working capital (non-GAAP) $ 309,181 $ 131,229 Expenditures on mineral properties, plant and equipment from continuing operations $ (88,826) $ (44,807) Free cash flow from continuing operations before changes in working capital (non-GAAP) $ 220,355 $ 86,422 We also present operating mine site free cash flow as non-GAAP measure to supplement our operating cash flow and free cash flow (non-GAAP) measures. The Company calculates mine site free cash flow as revenue less cost of sales, exploration, evaluation, and reclamation expenditures, cash care and maintenance, capital expenditures and taxes. We believe presenting asset level revenue minus large cash expenditures will be useful for investors because it represents a view of how much cash is actually generated and spent that is directly attributable to a specific site.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260216715575/en/Figure 1: Five-Year Changes to SSR Mining’s Consolidated Gold Equivalent Mineral Reserves (Moz). Changes to SSR Mining’s consolidated gold equivalent Mineral Reserves shown over the five-year period from year-end 2020 to year-end 2025, illustrating Mineral Reserve additions through resource development and exploration drilling activities, as well as the Mineral Reserves added through accretive M&A transactions over the same period.
Consolidated operating results: Fourth quarter 2025 production was 120,267 gold equivalent ounces at consolidated cost of sales of $1,613 per payable ounce and AISC of $2,250 per payable ounce, or $2,002 per payable ounce exclusive of costs incurred at Çöpler in the quarter. For the full-year 2025, the Company produced 447,207 gold equivalent ounces at consolidated cost of sales of $1,472 per payable ounce and AISC of $2,153 per payable ounce, or $1,923 per payable ounce exclusive of costs incurred at Çöpler. Full-year production was above the midpoint of the Company’s 410,000 to 480,000 gold equivalent ounce consolidated guidance range, while full-year AISC were well aligned with the Company’s third quarter disclosures.
Financial results: In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reported net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders of $181.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share and adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders of $190.5 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. For the full-year 2025, SSR Mining reported net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders of $395.8 million, or $1.85 per diluted share and adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders of $430.5 million, or $2.01 per diluted share. In the fourth quarter of 2025, SSR Mining generated $172.1 million in operating cash flow and $106.4 million in free cash flow. Full-year 2025 operating cash flow and free cash flow totaled $471.9 million and $241.6 million, respectively.
Cash and liquidity position: As of December 31, 2025, SSR Mining had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $534.8 million and total liquidity of $1,034.8 million, inclusive of the Company’s undrawn revolving credit facility and accompanying accordion feature.
Capital Returns: On February 13, 2026, SSR Mining’s Board of Directors approved a share buyback program of up to $300 million. Given the Company’s strong free cash flow projections and its portfolio of growth opportunities, the Company sees significant value to its shareholders in pursuing a share buyback program. Share buybacks have historically been an important part of SSR Mining’s capital return strategy with approximately 20 million shares repurchased between 2021 and 2024 at an average price of $15.76 per share. Under the share buyback program, share repurchases may be carried out from time to time over the next twelve months through opportunistic open-market purchases or by other means in amounts and at prices at SSR Mining’s discretion, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations.
Mineral Reserves & Mineral Resources: Total Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves as of December 31, 2025, were 11.0 million gold equivalent ounces, an increase of nearly 40% as compared to year-end 2024. Total Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources as of December 31, 2025, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, were 9.5 million gold equivalent ounces, an increase of over 80% as compared to year-end 2024. Year-over-year changes in Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources include the addition of CC&V and the Hod Maden development project to consolidated totals, resource development activity and an increase in the base gold and silver price assumptions for Mineral Reserves to $1,700 and $20.50 per ounce, respectively.
2026 operating guidance: In 2026, SSR Mining expects to deliver production of 450,000 to 535,000 gold equivalent ounces from its Marigold, CC&V, Seabee and Puna operations at consolidated cost of sales of $1,560 to $1,640 per payable ounce and AISC of $2,360 to $2,440 per payable ounce. Exclusive of Care & Maintenance costs at Çöpler, the Company expects full-year consolidated AISC would be $2,180 to $2,260 per payable ounce. The midpoint of 2026 production guidance represents a 10% increase in gold equivalent ounces over 2025 results.
Çöpler: Fourth quarter remediation and reclamation spend at Çöpler was $7.4 million, bringing total remediation spend in 2025 to $21.7 million. Since February 2024, SSR Mining has spent $149.3 million on reclamation and remediation activities at the site.
Hod Maden development project: SSR Mining spent $33.8 million at the Hod Maden development project in the fourth quarter of 2025 as engineering and initial site establishment efforts continued to progress. Full-year spend at Hod Maden totaled $78.2 million, in line with guidance of $60 to $100 million. On January 29, 2026, SSR Mining announced the completion and issuance of a Technical Report Summary for the Hod Maden development project with a $1.7B NPV5% and 39% IRR at consensus commodity prices. For more information on Hod Maden, please see the Hod Maden Technical Report Summary filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 30, 2026.
Development & exploration: Throughout 2025, SSR Mining continued to advance key brownfield organic growth projects across the portfolio, including Buffalo Valley at Marigold, Cortaderas at Puna, and Porky at Seabee. These projects represent low-cost, high-return development opportunities and have the potential to meaningfully extend the mine lives at each asset. SSR Mining is also investing $35 million in growth exploration and resource development activity in 2026 as it aims to identify and advance growth targets across its portfolio.
Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining, said, “The fourth quarter of 2025 was a strong finish to the year as we delivered full-year consolidated production above the midpoint of our guidance range at AISC well aligned with expectations. This operating performance allowed us to capitalize on the strong metals prices into year-end and generate approximately $172 million in operating cash flow and $106 million in free cash flow in the quarter. Our results were buoyed by an excellent fourth quarter at both CC&V and Puna, with each operation exceeding full-year production guidance.
Looking ahead, our 2026 operating guidance has our business on track to deliver a 10% year-over-year increase in gold equivalent ounce production and reinforces our position as the third largest gold producer in the United States. Our consolidated production platform is poised to deliver strong free cash flow in 2026, and we are working hard to continue surfacing additional value for our shareholders through key organic growth initiatives at each of our assets.
Through our continued focus on operational delivery and free cash flow generation, as well as our newly announced share buyback program, we expect to continue building on our positive momentum through 2026.”

Full-Year 2026 Guidance
SSR Mining reports its full-year 2026 guidance that includes production, cost, and capital estimates for each asset and on a consolidated basis. The Company has not reflected any production, operating costs, or capital forecasts for Çöpler in its 2026 guidance.
Consolidated production in 2026 is expected to be 55 to 60% weighted to the second half, driven largely by the production profiles at Marigold and CC&V. AISC are expected to be highest in the first half of 2026, reflecting the aforementioned production profile and higher sustaining capital outlays across the portfolio in the first half of the year.

Share-based compensation guidance uses a reference price of approximately US$32.50 per share.
Sustaining capital spend in 2026 is expected to be 60 to 70% weighted to the first half, reflecting winter road expenditures at Seabee as well as fleet replacements at Marigold. Development capital spend is expected to be highest in the second and third quarters of 2026, driven by investment in leach pad expansions at Marigold and CC&V. Initial works including, engineering completion, access road and site establishment, continue at Hod Maden ahead of a formal construction decision by the joint venture. On a 100% basis, capital expenditure at Hod Maden is expected to total up to $15 million per month on this early works scope. SSR Mining intends to update full year capital guidance to include full project ramp-up following a positive construction decision.

In 2026, Marigold’s production is expected to be 55 to 60% weighted to the second half, as higher grades stacked in the second quarter are anticipated to drive increased production in the second half. Marigold is expected to stack 21 to 23 million ore tonnes in 2026 at an average grade of approximately 0.4 grams per tonne.
As a result of previously highlighted ore blending requirements and to ensure pad recovery performance, the mine schedule has been updated to account for the blending of durable and non-durable ore. In addition, increased gold prices have resulted in pit expansions and the relocation of a planned waste dump to avoid sterilizing ounces. Overall, life of mine production for Marigold remains unchanged and the total ounces produced over the five-year period are materially the same as reflected in the current TRS. The growth targets of Buffalo Valley and New Millennium continue to advance, and SSR Mining anticipates potentially integrating them into an updated Marigold TRS that is expected to be released in the next 18 months.
Sustaining capital spend at Marigold is approximately 70% weighted to the first half of the year, with AISC expected to peak in the first quarter of 2026. Accordingly, AISC are expected to trend above the full-year guidance range in the first half of the year. Sustaining capital spend for Marigold in 2026 is forecasted to total $108 million, driven largely by spend on fleet replacements, ongoing fleet component purchases and plant upgrades. The investments in Marigold’s mining and hauling fleet are expected to help both near-term haulage requirements and enable the development of a number of potentially significant mine life extension opportunities ahead.

Growth opportunities at Marigold include continued advancement of the Buffalo Valley project, which currently hosts approximately 570,000 ounces of gold Mineral Reserves, New Millennium, Marigold North and Valmy South. In 2026, growth capital at Marigold is expected to total $48 million, with the majority of that spend focused on heap leach expansions and continued development of the Buffalo Valley and New Millennium expansion studies.

Growth expenditures at Seabee are expected to total $15 million in 2026 as the Company advances near-mine drilling exploration and resource development activity at Santoy and progresses engineering at Porky ahead of potential development in 2027. An initial 203,000 ounce Mineral Reserve was declared at Porky in 2025 with the potential to represent a new underground mining front to further complement and extend the existing Seabee mine life.
Puna, Argentina
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Puna produced 2.1 and 3.0 million ounces of silver, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Puna produced 9.8 and 10.5 million ounces of silver, respectively. Puna’s full-year 2025 production of 9.8 million ounces of silver exceeded full-year production guidance of 8.00 to 8.75 million ounces for the third consecutive year. The strong operating results at Puna were supported by continuous improvements in the performance of the Pirquitas process plant, which achieved quarterly and full-year records in tonnes processed in the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, respectively.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Puna reported cost of sales of $20.13 per payable ounce and AISC of $18.39 per payable ounce. For the full-year 2025, Puna reported cost of sales of $16.74 per payable ounce and AISC of $14.24 per payable ounce. Full-year AISC at Puna were better than the mine’s 2025 AISC guidance range of $14.25 to $15.75 per payable ounce. Puna realized nearly $460 million in revenue and generated mine site free cash flow of over $250 million in 2025.

GEOs are calculated multiplying the silver ounces by the ratio of the silver price to the gold price, using the average closing commodity prices for the period. The Company does not include by-products in the GEO calculations.
In 2026, production at Puna is expected to be 50 to 55% weighted to the first half, driven largely by grades processed. Process plant throughputs in 2026 are expected to average 5,250 to 5,500 tonnes per day at average grades of 110 to 120 g/t silver. AISC are expected to be highest in the first half of 2026, including a peak in the second quarter, largely reflecting the sustaining capital spend profile which is nearly 75% weighted to the first half. Sustaining capital expenditures at Puna are expected to total $18 million in 2026 and are primarily related to equipment and process plant component costs.

The Company reports the non-GAAP financial measures of cash costs and AISC per ounce of silver sold to manage and evaluate operating performance at Puna. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" at the end of this press release for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation to cost of sales, which are the comparable GAAP financial measure. Cost of sales excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company announced a three-year extension to Puna’s mine life. Subsequently, SSR Mining has continued to advance analysis and engineering work on pathways for additional mine life extension, including expansion opportunities at Chinchillas through additional pit laybacks and evaluation of the Melina target to the northeast of the current pit. Evaluation of the brownfield Cortaderas deposit, which represents a potential underground mining target for Puna in the future, has also continued to progress positively.
At Cortaderas, drilling in 2025 extended mineralization in the main breccia zone to the west and also discovered an additional mineralized footwall zone. These results have not been incorporated into the year-end 2025 MRMR update at Puna, and additional drilling is planned at both targets in 2026. Further details on these mine life extension opportunities will be provided over the next 12 to 18 months.
In light of the recent volatility in gold and silver prices, SSR Mining has elected to use a consistent gold to silver price ratio in its calculation of gold equivalent ounces. For 2026, this ratio is 63:1, reflecting the 60-day trailing average gold and silver prices.
Çöpler, Türkiye
(amounts presented on 100% basis)
Operations at Çöpler were suspended following the February 13, 2024 incident at the Çöpler mine (the “Çöpler Incident”). During the suspension, care and maintenance expense has been recorded which represents depreciation and direct costs not associated with the environmental reclamation and remediation costs.
During 2025, the Company spent $21.7 million on reclamation and remediation bringing total spending related to the Çöpler Incident to $149.3 million.

The Company reports the non-GAAP financial measures of cash costs and AISC per ounce of gold sold to manage and evaluate operating performance at Çöpler. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" at the end of this press release for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation to cost of sales, which are the comparable GAAP financial measure. Cost of sales excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization. SSR Mining owns 80% of Çöpler.
In 2026, Çöpler is expected to incur quarterly care and maintenance costs of approximately $35 to $40 million while the mine is not in operation. This includes $20 to $25 million in cash care and maintenance costs per quarter, which impact the Company’s consolidated AISC.
Growth Exploration and Resource Development
In 2026, growth exploration and resource development expenditures are expected to total $35 million. Growth capital spend in 2026 is expected to total $115 million, excluding development capital at Hod Maden, as the Company makes meaningful investments in leach pad expansions at Marigold and CC&V.
On January 29, 2026, SSR Mining announced the completion of a Technical Report Summary for the Hod Maden development project which highlighted a $1.7B NPV5% and a 39% IRR at consensus metals prices averaging $3,167 per ounce gold and $4.52 per pound copper over the life of mine. Since acquisition in 2023, SSR Mining has made significant progress in project engineering and procurement activities at Hod Maden, and these activities have meaningfully de-risked the project. This includes meaningful progress on early works activities at site, including earthworks and road development, as well as the advancement of detailed engineering, hiring and procurement.
On a 100% basis, capital expenditure at Hod Maden is expected to total up to $15 million per month on the continuation of these early works ahead of a formal construction decision by the joint venture. Updated growth capital guidance will be provided following a positive construction decision by the joint venture at Hod Maden.
Exploration and development activities are also planned across SSR Mining’s portfolio of earlier stage projects, including at Amisk in Saskatchewan and other greenfield projects in Nevada, Saskatchewan, Türkiye and Argentina.
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources (“MRMR”) for Year-End 2025
(The following information should be read in conjunction with Item 2. Properties in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on February 17, 2026 (the “Annual Report”) and the TRS for each of our material properties included as exhibits to our Annual Report.)
SSR Mining reported its updated MRMR as of December 31, 2025, reflecting depletion that occurred through mining activity, stockpile changes, new Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources delineated through drilling activity, Mineral Resource conversion and changes to metals price assumptions used in the calculation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources. In addition, following the completion of Technical Report Summaries for CC&V and the Hod Maden development project, the Company is now able to incorporate these properties into its consolidated MRMR statements.
As of year-end 2025, SSR Mining’s Mineral Reserves included 10.6 million ounces of gold and 24.2 million ounces of silver. On a gold equivalent basis, SSR Mining had 11.0 million ounces of Mineral Reserves, a 38% year-over-year increase inclusive of mined depletion.
As per Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, the Company’s year-end 2025 MRMR are presented on an attributable basis, reflecting the Company’s ownership interest in each material property. See the Company’s Annual Report for more information.
Commodity price assumptions remain conservative: SSR Mining’s gold and silver price assumptions used in the calculation of Mineral Reserves at Marigold and Puna increased 13% and 8%, respectively, from $1,500 per ounce gold in 2024 to $1,700 per ounce in 2025, and from $19.00 per ounce silver in 2024 to $20.50 per ounce in 2025. The gold Mineral Reserve price of $1,600 per ounce for Seabee in 2024 was increased to $2,000 per ounce in 2025. The lead price of $0.90 per pound was unchanged from 2024 Mineral Reserves, while the zinc price assumption of $1.15 per pound increased from $1.05 in 2024. 2025 Mineral Resource prices of $2,000 per ounce of gold, $23.00 per ounce of silver, $1.30 per pound of zinc and $4.00 per pound of copper reflected minor increases from 2024, while the lead price assumption of $0.95 per pound used in the calculation of Mineral Resources was unchanged from 2024. No changes to metals prices or other assumptions were made with respect to the calculation of Çöpler’s MRMR.
Track record of sustained Mineral Reserve growth: SSR Mining has established a consistent track record of exceeding mined depletion in its annual Mineral Reserve statements since 2020, reflecting the Company’s continued commitment to investment in organic growth projects and resource development activities across its portfolio. Since 2020, mined depletion has totaled 3.3 million gold equivalent ounces, while resource development, exploration activities and other changes to assumptions have more than offset this depletion with the addition of 3.4 million ounces of gold equivalent Mineral Reserves over that time period, excluding the impact of asset acquisitions. Inclusive of M&A activities, SSR Mining’s Mineral Reserves have grown 34% since 2020 to 11.0 million ounces gold equivalent, including mined depletion.
Significant Mineral Resource base supports potential for mine life extensions: As of year-end 2025, SSR Mining had 9.0 million ounces of Measured & Indicated (“M&I”) gold Mineral Resources, a 104% year-over-year increase, and 9.5 million ounces of gold equivalent Mineral Resources, an 82% year-over-year increase. Inferred Mineral Resources total 4.5 million ounces gold and 5.1 million ounces gold equivalent, 97% and 95% year-over-year increases, respectively. SSR Mining will continue to invest in resource development activities across its operating sites with a goal to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves and support potentially low-cost mine life extension opportunities.
Pipeline of growth projects with potential to deliver longer-term optionality: SSR Mining has a pipeline of highly prospective brownfield growth projects across the portfolio, including Buffalo Valley and New Millennium at Marigold, Chinchillas expansions and the Cortaderas project at Puna, and Porky and the Santoy underground extension targets at Seabee. Additionally, SSR Mining is investing in earlier stage growth programs at its regional properties in Saskatchewan, including Amisk, as well as regional exploration activities in Nevada, Türkiye, and Argentina as it targets longer-term growth potential.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
We have included certain non-GAAP performance measures throughout this document. These performance measures are employed by us to measure our operating and economic performance internally and to assist in decision-making, as well as to provide key performance information to senior management. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders also use this information to evaluate our operating and financial performance; however, these non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. Accordingly, these performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Total Cash, Total Debt, Net Cash, Total Liquidity, Cash costs, AISC per ounce sold, free cash flow, and mine site free cash flow are Non-GAAP Measures with no standardized definition under U.S. GAAP.
Non-GAAP Measure – Total Cash, Total Debt, Net Cash and Total Liquidity
Total cash, Total debt, and Net cash (debt) are used by management and investors to measure the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company believes that these measures are a useful measure for shareholders as it helps evaluate liquidity and available cash. Total cash is calculated as Cash and cash equivalents plus Restricted cash and Total debt is calculated as the face value of the Company’s 2019 convertible notes plus other current debt.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents to net cash:

In addition to Net cash (debt), the Company also uses Total liquidity to measure its financial position. Total liquidity is calculated as Cash and cash equivalents plus Restricted cash and borrowing capacity under current revolving credit facilities, including accordion features. As of December 31, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding on the Company’s $400 million credit facility with a $100 million accordion feature.

Non-GAAP Measure - Cash Costs and AISC
Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per payable ounce of gold and respective unit cost measures are non-U.S. GAAP metrics developed by the World Gold Council to provide transparency into the costs associated with producing gold and provide a standard for comparison across the industry. The World Gold Council is a market development organization for the gold industry.
The Company uses cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold and AISC per ounce of precious metals to monitor its operating performance internally. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is cost of sales. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of byproduct credits on its cost structure. The Company also believes it is a relevant metric used to understand its operating profitability. When deriving the cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, the Company includes by-product credits, which allows management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold and silver production.
AISC includes total cost of sales incurred at the Company's mining operations, which forms the basis of cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining mine-site exploration and evaluation costs, reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. This measure seeks to reflect the ongoing cost of gold and silver production from current operations; therefore, growth capital is excluded. The Company determines sustaining capital to be capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. The Company determines growth capital to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation.
The Company believes that AISC provides additional information to management and stakeholders that provides visibility to better define the total costs associated with production and better understanding of the economics of the Company's operations and performance compared to other producers. In deriving the number of ounces of precious metal sold, the Company considers the physical ounces available for sale after the treatment and refining process, commonly referred to as payable metal, as this is what is sold to third parties.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of Cost of sales to cash costs and AISC:

Amounts presented on 100% basis. Figures may not add due to rounding. In 2026, in an effort to limit the impact of gold and silver price volatility, SSR Mining will fix its gold to silver ratio for the purposes of GEO calculations to 63:1, reflecting the 60-day average trading prices for each metal. See “Assumptions” earlier in the endnotes of this press release for additional information.
(32)
The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures including cash costs and AISC per ounce sold to manage and evaluate its operating performance at its mines. Cost of sales excludes depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Total AISC includes G&A costs and share-based compensation but excludes any care & maintenance costs incurred at Çöpler. Consolidated AISC reflects the cash component of care & maintenance costs incurred at Çöpler in the event the operation did not restart within 2026.
(33)
Refer to “2026 Capital Guidance” table within the “Full-Year 2026 Guidance” section of this press release for a breakdown of sustaining exploration and evaluation expenditures. Capital expenditures for Çöpler are not included in this guidance.
(34)
Share-based compensation guidance uses a reference price of approximately US$32.50 per share.
(35)
Reflects the cash component of care & maintenance expenses of approximately $20 - $25 million per quarter that are expected to be incurred at Çöpler. At this time the Company is not able to estimate or predict if, when and under what conditions operations will resume.
Non-GAAP Measure - Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to SSR Mining Shareholders and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to SSR Mining Shareholders
Adjusted attributable net income (loss) and adjusted attributable net income (loss) per share are used by management to measure the Company's underlying operating performance. We believe this measure is also useful for shareholders to assess the Company’s operating performance. The most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP are net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders and net income (loss) per share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company's underlying operations, including the impacts of Çöpler Incident; inflationary impacts on tax balances; transaction, integration; and other non-recurring items.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders to adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SSR Mining shareholders:

(37)
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the effects of the Çöpler Incident represent contingencies and expenses of $0.6 million (presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $0.1 million).
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the effects of the Çöpler Incident represent (1) reclamation costs of $7.5 million (presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $1.9 million) and remediation costs of $42.8 million (presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $10.7 million) and (2) contingencies and expenses of $5.6 million (presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $1.4 million).
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the effects of the Çöpler Incident represent (1) reclamation costs of $9.0 million (presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $2.2 million) and remediation costs of $209.4 million (presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $52.4 million); (2) impairment charges of $91.4 million related to plans to permanently close the heap leach pad (amount is presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $22.8 million); and (3) contingencies and expenses of $11.3 million (amount is presented net of pre-tax attributable non-controlling interest of $2.8 million).

(39)
Represents non-cash gains or losses recognized in earnings from the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The adjustment reflects a change in the expected timing of settlement associated with the Carlton Tunnel permit modification related to CC&V. For more information, see the Company’s Annual Report, Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements.
(40)
Represents revisions in cost estimate assumptions associated with water management and tailings storage facilities at Puna that have no substantive future economic value.

Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders is calculated using diluted common shares, which are calculated in accordance with GAAP. For the year ended December 31, 2024, $5.0 million interest saving on 2019 Notes, net of tax, and potentially dilutive shares of approximately 12.9 million were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as they were antidilutive. 0.3 million shares were included in the computation of adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to SSR Mining shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Non-GAAP Measure - Free Cash Flow, Cash Flow From Operating Activities Before Changes in Working Capital, Free Cash Flow Before Changes in Working Capital, and Mine Site Free Cash Flow
The Company uses free cash flow and mine site free cash flow to supplement information in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to free cash flow is cash provided by operating activities and the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP to mine site free cash flow is mine segment revenue. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the ability of the Company to generate cash flow after capital investments and build the Company's cash resources and, with respect to one of mine segments, to evaluate the cash generated from a mine. The Company calculates free cash flow by deducting cash capital spending from cash generated by operating activities. The Company does not deduct payments made for business acquisitions. The Company calculates mine site free cash flow by deducting cost of sales, exploration, evaluation, and reclamation expenditures, cash care and maintenance, capital expenditures and taxes from revenue from a particular segment.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow:

We also present operating cash flow before working capital adjustments and free cash flow before working capital adjustments as non-GAAP cash flow measures to supplement our operating cash flow and free cash flow (non-GAAP) measures. We believe presenting both operating cash flow and free cash flow before working capital adjustments, which reflects an exclusion of net changes in operating assets and liabilities, will be useful for investors because it presents cash flow that is actually generated from the continuing business. The Company calculates cash generated by (used in) operating activities before changes in working capital by adjusting cash generated by (used in) operating activities by the net change in operating assets and liabilities. The Company also calculates free cash flow before changes in working capital by deducting cash capital spending from cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital.

We also present operating mine site free cash flow as non-GAAP measure to supplement our operating cash flow and free cash flow (non-GAAP) measures. The Company calculates mine site free cash flow as revenue less cost of sales, exploration, evaluation, and reclamation expenditures, cash care and maintenance, capital expenditures and taxes. We believe presenting asset level revenue minus large cash expenditures will be useful for investors because it represents a view of how much cash is actually generated and spent that is directly attributable to a specific site.

Updated technical report reaffirms that Hod Maden is projected to be one of the highest returning undeveloped copper-gold projects globally
Estimated after-tax NPV5% of $1.66 billion and projected IRR of 39% at consensus gold and copper prices
At recent spot gold and copper prices, Hod Maden’s after-tax NPV5% increases to an estimated $2.91 billion with a projected IRR of 58%
Life of mine production is projected to total 1.6 million ounces of gold and 209 million pounds of copper at estimated average cost of sales of $1,120 per ounce of payable gold and estimated by-product all-in-sustaining costs (“AISC”) of $590 per ounce of payable gold
Annual after-tax operating cash flow and free cash flow are expected to average $343 and $328 million, respectively, at consensus metals prices
At recent spot gold and copper prices, annual after-tax operating cash flow and free cash flow are expected to average $511 and $496 million, respectively
Project execution meaningfully de-risked through significant engineering work completed since acquisition
The significant amount of detailed engineering completed since SSR Mining’s acquisition, coupled with early works activities completed to-date, has meaningfully de-risked project execution
Detailed project engineering is now nearing completion, with most major contracts tendered or in place and all key Hod Maden project development team members onboard
Total remaining development capital spend, estimated at $910 million as of November 30, is supported by the high level of design definition in the most critical areas of project construction planning, including main access roads, earthworks and camp construction

References to spot prices in this document reflect a $4,900 per ounce gold price and $5.75 per pound copper price. See “Assumptions” for additional information. Average annual after-tax operating cash flow and Free Cash Flow metrics are calculated over the period of 2028 to 2037.
(2)
The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures including All-In Sustaining Cost (“AISC”) per ounce sold (a common measure in the mining industry) and Free Cash Flow to manage and evaluate its operating performance at its mines. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.
(3)
Upon completion of the earn-in, SSR Mining will have a 40% ownership interest in Hod Maden. See “Overview of the Hod Maden Project” for additional information on SSR Mining’s ownership in Hod Maden.
Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining, said, “Since acquiring operatorship and an up to 40% stake in Hod Maden in 2023, our teams have been hard at work advancing the Project as outlined in today’s Technical Report Summary. This is a major milestone for our Company and clearly reaffirms Hod Maden’s position amongst the most compelling undeveloped copper-gold projects globally.
Today’s TRS is supported by our significant efforts to de-risk the Project and its development timeline over the last two years. This includes meaningful progress on early works activities at site, including earthworks and road development, along with advancement of detailed engineering, hiring and procurement. Going forward, SSR Mining’s remaining investment in the Project is expected to total approximately $469 million. This includes $364 million for 40% of the attributable development capital costs and $105 million in remaining earn-in and milestone payments. This investment is expected to be funded from our existing liquidity position.
At consensus metals prices, Hod Maden is expected to generate $328 million in free cash flow annually ($131 million attributable to SSR Mining based on a 40% ownership) and deliver a project IRR of nearly 40%. The new capital estimate contained in the TRS reflects the outcomes of highly detailed technical workstreams and material inflationary impacts over the past two years in Türkiye. A project decision is expected in 2026, following the approvals of our local Joint Venture partner. Once in production, we expect our portfolio to benefit from this tremendous asset’s exceptional margins for years to come.”
The TRS has been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-K 1300 (“S-K 1300”) and will be available as of January 29, 2026 on the Company’s website and on a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Key Improvements from the 2021 Feasibility Study
The 2025 Hod Maden TRS supersedes the “Hod Maden Project, Feasibility Study – Technical Report NI 43-101”, dated December 15, 2021. Optimizations to the Project included in the 2025 Hod Maden TRS include:
The flowsheet was updated to produce a single copper concentrate, improving upon the prior plan which produced both a copper concentrate and a pyrite concentrate and thereby required batch processing of two ore types. This change is expected to meaningfully simplify process plant operations and increase performance while producing a high-quality, marketable concentrate
Infill drilling has been conducted to derisk early phases of the Hod Maden life of mine plan, improving Mineral Reserve confidence and helping to ensure delivery of the Project’s rapid payback
Significant refinements to project infrastructure design have been made, including optimized earthwork volumes, improved access road alignment, and consolidation of waste storage areas
Detailed engineering of the Project is now nearing completion, de-risking the critical path for project development and improving fidelity in the associated capital costs
A highly detailed project execution plan was developed to manage the Project, and all key positions of the project execution team have been filled to support the anticipated ramp up of activities
SSR Mining has made significant progress on engineering and initial site establishment efforts over the course of 2025

Overview of the Hod Maden Project
The Hod Maden Project is located in northeastern Türkiye. The Project is located approximately 130 kilometers from the Erzurum airport, and approximately 330 kilometers from SSR Mining’s Çöpler gold mine.
The Hod Maden project is 100% owned by Artmin, a company jointly-owned by SSR Mining, Lidya Mines, and Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”). As per the 2023 Transaction structure, SSR Mining will earn-in to own up to 40% of the project through earn-in payments totaling $120 million, and will also make an additional $30 million in milestone payments to Lidya Mines. Following the completion of the earn-in, Artmin will be 40% owned by SSR Mining, 30% owned by Royal Gold, and 30% owned by Lidya Mines. SSR Mining currently owns 10% of the Project and serves as sole operator.
The Hod Maden deposit is part of the Artvin mineral district within the Eastern Pontides metallogenic belt. Hod Maden is comprised of three zones: the Main Zone, the South Zone, and approximately one kilometer further to the south, the Russian Zone. The Main Zone, first discovered by drilling in 2014, extends approximately 150 meters along strike at surface and has a true thickness of up to 70 meters and a down-dip extension of approximately 400 meters. The Main Zone contains most of the high-grade gold and copper mineralization and all of the currently defined Mineral Reserves at the Project. Limited drilling has been completed across the remainder of the Hod Maden property.
Mining & Processing
The 2025 Hod Maden TRS envisages an underground operation accessed through a single surface portal. Mining will be conducted via drift and fill (“DAF”) above 780 meters above sea level (masl) and via long-hole stoping below 780 masl, with overall mining rates averaging approximately 2,200 tonnes per day or 800,000 tonnes per annum. Life of mine ore grades are expected to average 7.6 g/t gold and 1.3% copper. The process plant will feature a design capacity of 800,000 dry metric tonnes per year and will utilize a mill-float-regrind-cleaner float flowsheet yielding a single concentrate with an average grade of 22% copper and 113 g/t gold. The concentrate can be sold through traders or directly to smelters and is expected to be highly desirable due to its grade and lack of deleterious elements. No cyanide is utilized in the process facility. Over the life of mine, gold and copper recoveries are expected to average 87% and 97%, respectively.
The Hod Maden project will be connected to Türkiye’s national power grid, which runs directly across the property. Tailings generated during the life of mine will be in part utilized for underground paste fill, with the remainder reporting to the Hod Maden Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”). The TSF will employ a phased downstream construction technique, and will adhere to Canadian Dam Association Safety Guidelines. Royal Gold holds a 2% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty over the Hod Maden property, and at consensus metals prices Turkish State Royalties are expected to average 12.8% over the life of mine, inclusive of the 2025 royalty rate increase and on-site processing deductions for gold and copper.
Capital Estimates
The Project capital cost estimate can be classified as a high level 3 estimate using the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) international classification system, due to the high level of design definition in the most critical areas: construction and operational support facilities, earthworks, process plant and the main access roads. The capital cost estimate for the Project has a high level of quotations, with awarded contracts plus formal or recent tender submissions totaling 85% of the total value of the budget. Including the sunk costs, the total value is 91%. The tender submissions are based on the latest engineering and include unit rates for labor, overhead costs and productivity rates.

Of the total project capital, approximately 60% is expected to be incurred in Turkish Lira, with the majority of the remaining spend in U.S. dollars.
(12)
Escalation is not included in the base capital estimate or contingency calculation. An allowance of $150 million has been incorporated into the total capital estimate to account for potential inflation in the Turkish market during the construction period.
Permitting, Environment & Social
The Hod Maden licenses cover approximately 3,500 hectares, consisting primarily of forestry and private lands. All 349 parcels of private land within the Project area that required expropriation have been acquired. Environmental and social baseline studies have been conducted in the Project area since 2013, and an Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) for Hod Maden was approved in 2021. The paste fill permit required for mining operations is progressing through the regulatory process and is anticipated to be approved in 2027.
A stakeholder engagement plan has been established for Hod Maden, through which the Company will continue engagement activities and plans to support the local communities through employment, local contract opportunities, local purchasing, and community development programs. This plan has resulted in a number of community projects in the villages proximal to the Project area, including road upgrades, construction of a social facility for local residents, repairs to local irrigation infrastructure and also the issuance of more than 30 scholarships to university students from the local communities.
Additional Potential for Upside at Hod Maden
The 2025 Hod Maden TRS presents a mine life to 2037 based exclusively on Mineral Reserves. Opportunities for potential growth and mine life extension exist across the Hod Maden property, which SSR Mining will continue to evaluate going forward. These include:
Additional studies to convert the Measured and Indicated (“M&I”) resources above the Drift and Fill area to Reserves. This area was previously classified as Mineral Reserves but has been reported as M&I Mineral Resources in the 2025 Hod Maden TRS.
Exploration activities proximal to the main Hod Maden deposit, including drilling of the South Zone, are planned for 2026 with an objective to convert existing Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves while also targeting potential Mineral Resource growth.
Advancing earlier stage, generative exploration programs across the broader Hod Maden property. Minimal exploration has been completed across the greater Hod Maden property, creating an opportunity to leverage advanced geophysical techniques to potentially discover additional massive sulfide ore bodies.
Assumptions

Our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Projected Cash costs, AISC per ounce sold, and Free Cash Flow are Non-GAAP Measures with no standardized definition under U.S. GAAP.
Non-GAAP Measure – Projected Cash Costs and AISC
Projected Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per payable ounce of gold and respective unit cost measures are non-U.S. GAAP metrics developed by the World Gold Council to provide transparency into the costs associated with producing gold and provide a standard for comparison across the industry. The World Gold Council is a market development organization for the gold industry.
The Company uses cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold and AISC per ounce of precious metals to monitor its operating performance internally. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP is cost of sales. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of byproduct credits on its cost structure. The Company also believes it is a relevant metric used to understand its operating profitability. When deriving the cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, the Company includes by-product credits, which allows management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold and silver production. In deriving costs on a by-product basis, the Company considers copper to be a by-product and costs per payable ounce are calculated based on gold ounces sold. In deriving costs on a co-product basis, the Company anticipates no by-product credits and costs per payable ounce are calculated based on gold equivalent ounces sold. The Company believes that presenting costs on both a by-product and co-product basis to be useful to investors in order to understand this assets operating profitability.
AISC includes total cost of sales incurred at the Company's mining operations, which forms the basis of cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining mine-site exploration and evaluation costs, reclamation cost accretion and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. This measure seeks to reflect the ongoing cost of gold and silver production from current operations; therefore, growth capital is excluded. The Company determines sustaining capital to be capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. The Company determines growth capital to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation.
The Company believes that AISC provides additional information to management and stakeholders that provides visibility to better define the total costs associated with production and better understanding of the economics of the Company's operations and performance compared to other producers. In deriving the number of ounces of precious metal sold, the Company considers the physical ounces available for sale after the treatment and refining process, commonly referred to as payable metal, as this is what is sold to third parties.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of projected Cost of sales to Cash costs and AISC used in the 2025 Hod Maden TRS on a project basis (100% attributable) over the life of the mine (2025 – 2038):

GEOs are calculated using the copper sold multiplied by the ratio of the copper price to the gold price at the average commodity prices for the period stated in the TRS. GEOs sold may not re-calculate based on amounts presented in this table due to rounding.
Non-GAAP Measure – Projected Free Cash Flow
The Company uses Free Cash Flow to provide transparency about expected cash flows from the Hod Maden Project. The most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP is cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the ability of the Company to generate cash flow after capital investments and build the Company's cash resources. The Company calculates Free Cash Flow by deducting cash capital spending from cash generated by operating activities. The Company does not deduct payments made for business acquisitions.

Realized Cash Calculation
Acquisition Value for the SSR Mining / Alacer Merger and non-core asset sales are based on the analyst NAV at announcement; Acquisition Value for all other transactions include initially announced acquisition price, subsequent property acquisitions, earn-in milestone payments and the present value of contingent payments.
Current values are rounded and Analyst NAV are based on broker consensus research as of January 9, 2026. “Realized Cash” means revenue less cost of sales, exploration, evaluation, and reclamation expenditures, cash care and maintenance, capital expenditures and taxes; please see endnotes for additional details. Realized cash for CC&V of $85 million in the first half of 2025 aligns with the TRS effective date of July 1, 2025. Actual reported mine site after-tax Free Cash Flow was approximately $115 million from the acquisition’s close to the end of Q3 2025.
The following table provides a calculation of realized cash for Marigold since acquisition on April 4, 2014 through September 30, 2025 Seabee since acquisition on May 31, 2016 through September 30 ,2025 and for CC&V since acquisition on February 28, 2025 through June 30, 2025:
