SSR MINING INC

1. THE COMPANY

SSR Mining Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SSR Mining” or the “Company”) is a precious metals mining company with four producing assets located in the United States, Türkiye, Canada and Argentina. The Company is principally engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal resource properties located in Türkiye and the Americas. The Company produces gold doré as well as copper, silver, lead and zinc concentrates. The Company’s properties include Çöpler Gold Mine (“Çöpler”) in Erzincan, Türkiye, Marigold mine (“Marigold”) in Nevada, USA, Seabee Gold Operation (“Seabee”) in Saskatchewan, Canada, and Puna Operations (“Puna”) in Jujuy, Argentina. The Company also has development projects that it seeks to advance, as market and project conditions permit.

SSR Mining is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada and the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) in the U.S. under the symbol “SSRM” and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) in Australia under the symbol “SSR.”

On August 21, 2024, the Company evacuated and suspended operations at Seabee due to forest fires in the vicinity of the mine. Following the containment of the fires, employees were cleared to return to the site in late September 2024, and mining operations restarted at Seabee on October 11, 2024. The process plant and Santoy mine were not materially impacted by the fires, but remote equipment including power poles, piping, and exploration equipment was damaged. See Note 14 for further details.

On February 13, 2024, the Company suspended all operations at Çöpler as a result of a significant slip on the heap leach pad (the “Çöpler Incident”). See Note 3 for further details.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

As a mining company, the revenue, profitability and future rate of growth of the Company are substantially dependent on the prevailing prices for gold, silver, lead and zinc. The prices of these metals are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Mineral properties, plant and equipment; Inventories; and Deferred income tax assets are sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. In addition, the Company maintains cash balances at banking institutions in various jurisdictions which may or may not have deposit insurance. The Company mitigates potential cash risk by maintaining bank accounts with credit-worthy financial institutions. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The Company's business may be impacted by adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. These conditions include inflation, interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations and slowdown of economic activity around the world. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents primarily in United States dollars (“USD”). Any fluctuation in the exchange rate of the Turkish Lira (“TRY”), Canadian Dollar (“CAD”), Argentine Peso (“ARS”), or the currency of any other country in which the Company operates, against the USD could result in a loss on the Company’s books to the extent the Company holds funds or net monetary or non-monetary assets denominated in those currencies, and any fluctuations of currency prices generally may result in volatility. Certain of the Company's operations are located in countries that have in the past and are currently experiencing high rates of inflation. It is possible that in the future, high inflation in the countries in which we operate may result in an increase in operational costs in local currencies (without a concurrent devaluation of the local currency of operations against the dollar or an increase in the dollar price of gold, silver, copper, zinc or lead). Maintaining operating costs in currencies subject to significant inflation could expose us to risks relating to devaluation and high domestic inflation.

The Company's business may also be impacted by physical risks that can impact each of its properties, such as those experienced in connection with the Çöpler Incident.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Final Rule 33-11275 “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” (“Final Rule”). The Final Rule requires disclosures regarding information about a registrant's climate-related risks that have a material impact on, or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on, its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, certain disclosures related to capitalized costs, expenditures, and losses incurred as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the audited financial statements. The Final Rule is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. On April 4, 2024, the SEC stayed the rules pending the resolution of certain legal challenges. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the rules on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

Hod Maden Project

On May 8, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Alacer Gold Corporation, closed on an agreement to acquire a 10% interest in, and operational control of, Artmin Madencilik Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Artmin”) which owns the Hod Maden gold-copper development project, located in northeastern Türkiye (the “Transaction”). Hod Maden was owned 70% by Lidya Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Lidya Mines”) and 30% by Horizon Copper Corp. (“Horizon”) prior to the closing of the Transaction. Upon closing of the Transaction, the Company made a $120.0 million cash payment to Lidya Mines to acquire a 10% interest in Artmin. The Company has the option to acquire an additional 30% interest in Artmin from Lidya Mines for $120.0 million in structured payments tied to the completion of project construction spending milestones. Additionally, the Company will make contingent payments to Lidya Mines including $30.0 million in milestone payments payable in accordance with an agreed upon schedule beginning at the start of construction and ending on the first anniversary of commercial production and $84.0 million payable upon the delineation of an additional 500,000 gold equivalent ounces of mineral reserves at the Hod Maden project in excess of the project’s current mineral reserves and mineral resources.

The Company determined that Artmin is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which it is the primary beneficiary and is consolidated under ASC 810 as the Company has the power to direct the significant activities and the right to receive benefits and obligation to absorb losses of Artmin. The assets of Artmin can only be used to settle the obligations of Artmin and not the obligations of the Company. The creditors of Artmin do not have recourse to the assets or general credit of the Company to satisfy its liabilities. The Company concluded that Artmin was not a business based on its assessment under ASC 805 and accounted for the acquisition as an initial consolidation of a VIE that is not a business under ASC 810. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the Transaction included in Other operating expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets acquired are included in the Corporate and other operating segment.

Divestitures

Divestiture of San Luis

On May 23, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the San Luis project located in the Ancash department of central Peru to Highlander Silver Corp. (“Highlander Silver”) in exchange for cash of $5.0 million and contingent consideration in the form of cash payments of up to $37.5 million. The Company recognized a gain of $6.7 million included in Other operating expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, calculated as the difference between the fair value of consideration received and the carrying amount of the net assets sold. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the closing date was $2.4 million and is payable infive installments beginning with the commencement of an initial drilling program at the San Luis project and ending on the second anniversary of commercial production. The consideration received does not include certain payments that are contingent upon completion of a feasibility study and commercial production as the consideration is variable and constrained under ASC 606. The consideration will be recorded as a gain in the period in which it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur, which is expected upon advancement of the San Luis project and achievement of project development milestones. The assets were included in Corporate and other in Note 5. The Company retained a 4.0% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on the San Luis project, half of which can be repurchased by Highlander Silver for $15.0 million at any time until the commencement of construction.

7. INCOME AND MINING TAXES

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 2.1% for the first nine months of 2024 compared to (8.8)% for the first nine months of 2023. The primary drivers of the changein the effective rate were due to foreign currency fluctuations and changes in the valuation allowance. The Company’s statutory tax rate for the period is 27.0%.

On June 19, 2024, Canada’s Bill C-69, Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1, received third reading in the Canadian House of Commons and Pillar Two became substantively enacted for Canadian financial reporting purposes. The legislation is effective for the Company’s financial year beginning January 1, 2024. The Company has limited exposure to taxes under Pillar Two as most of its jurisdictions have an effective tax rate greater than the 15%. However, the Company may have exposure to taxes under Pillar Two in the range of $0 to $10.0 million for the 2024 year.

On July 28, 2024, the Republic of Türkiye enacted Pillar Two legislation and a unique domestic corporate minimum tax of 10%. The Turkish Pillar Two legislation will be effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024; however, the Company does not anticipate any incremental taxes under this system for 2024, other than those described above. The domestic corporate minimum tax will be effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is still in the process of assessing its potential exposure to the domestic minimum tax for future periods.
