DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 04, 2025--
SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining" or the "Company") reports consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
-- Operating results: Third quarter 2025 production was 102,673 gold
equivalent ounces at cost of sales of $1,585 per payable ounce and all-in
sustaining costs ("AISC") of $2,359 per payable ounce, or $2,114 per
payable ounce exclusive of costs incurred at Çöpler in the
quarter.(1) Year-to-date, the Company produced 326,940 gold equivalent
ounces at cost of sales of $1,430 per payable ounce and all-in-sustaining
costs of $2,131 per payable ounce, or $1,905 exclusive of costs incurred
at Çöpler. SSR Mining expects full-year 2025 production in the
lower half of the 410,000 to 480,000 gold equivalent ounce guidance
range. Reflecting the impacts of higher-than-expected gold prices on
royalty costs and SSR Mining's strong share price performance on
share-based compensation, the Company is trending towards the upper end
of its consolidated cost guidance ranges for 2025.
-- Financial results: In the third quarter of 2025, SSR Mining reported net
income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders of $65.4 million, or $0.31
per diluted share and adjusted net income attributable to SSR Mining
shareholders of $68.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. In the third
quarter of 2025, operating cash flow was $57.2 million and free cash flow
was negative $2.4 million, largely driven by inventory movements at
Marigold and CC&V, as well as prepayments associated with development
activities at Hod Maden. Accordingly, operating cash flow and free cash
flow before working capital adjustments totaled $132.1 million and $72.5
million in the third quarter, respectively.
-- Cash and liquidity position: As of September 30, 2025, SSR Mining had a
cash and cash equivalent balance of $409.3 million and total liquidity of
$909.3 million, inclusive of the Company's undrawn revolving credit
facility and accompanying accordion feature.
-- Hod Maden: During the third quarter of 2025, $17.1 million was spent at
Hod Maden as engineering and initial site establishment efforts continued
to progress, bringing year-to-date spend to $44.4 million at the project.
SSR Mining remains on track for full-year Hod Maden development capital
spend of $60 to $100 million. The Company expects to provide an updated
life of mine plan and construction decision for Hod Maden in the coming
months.
-- Çöpler update: SSR Mining continues to work closely with the
relevant authorities in Türkiye to advance the restart of the
Çöpler mine. While SSR Mining remains confident and committed
to restarting operations, at this time, the Company is not able to
estimate or predict when and under what conditions operations will resume
at Çöpler.
-- Development & exploration: During the third quarter of 2025, SSR Mining
continued to advance key brownfield growth projects across the portfolio,
including Buffalo Valley at Marigold, Cortaderas at Puna, and Porky at
Seabee. These projects represent potential low-cost mine life extension
opportunities at each operation and are supported by ongoing near-mine
and regional exploration activity across the portfolio. In addition, an
updated life of mine plan and technical report for CC&V based exclusively
on Mineral Reserves remains on track for publication in 2025.
Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining, said, "Our third quarter operating results were generally aligned to our internal plans, and we continue to expect that a solid fourth quarter will bring us within consolidated 2025 production guidance.
Our teams have been hard at work advancing a number of key deliverables, including an initial technical report for CC&V that we expect will showcase a more than 10-year mine life based on Mineral Reserves. At Hod Maden, efforts across the various work streams including engineering, initial site establishment activity and market engagement on major work packages are well progressed, moving us closer to finalizing an updated life of mine plan and capital estimates. Hod Maden remains one of the most compelling and highest returning undeveloped copper-gold projects in the sector and has the potential to generate exceptional free cash flow once in production.
We have numerous growth opportunities across the portfolio, particularly in Türkiye where we continue to advance requirements towards a restart of operations at Çöpler. Together with the Hod Maden investment decision, we look forward to showcasing the significant potential upside ahead for our shareholders."

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.
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 -- Net Cash
Net cash (debt) are used by management and investors to measure the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company believes that net cash (debt) is a useful measure for shareholders as it helps evaluate liquidity and available cash.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents to net cash:

In addition to net cash and net 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 September 30, 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 used in the calculation of 2025 cost guidance:

(14) Figures may not add due to rounding.
(15) CC&V figures are presented as of February 28, 2025 onwards to account
for attributable production to SSR Mining following the close of the
CC&V transaction. Prior to the closing of the acquisition, CC&V
produced 28,000 ounces of gold. For the full year, inclusive of ounces
produced under Newmont's ownership, CC&V is expected to produce
between 118,000 and 138,000 ounces of gold.
(16) 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 its mines. AISC includes reclamation cost accretion and
amortization and certain lease payments. Total AISC includes G&A costs
and share-based compensation, but excludes any care & maintenance
costs incurred at Çöpler. Consolidated AISC reflects cash
care & maintenance costs of approximately $20 - $25 million per
quarter incurred at Çöpler until the mine is restarted.
(17) Refer to "2025 Capital Guidance" table within our press release dated
March 31, 2025 for a breakdown of sustaining exploration and
evaluation expenditures. No material capital expenditures are expected
at Çöpler until the mine is restarted.
(18) Share-based compensation guidance uses a reference price of
approximately US$15 per share.
(19) Reflects the cash component of care & maintenance expenses that would
be incurred at Çöpler in the event the operation did not
restart within 2025. SSR Mining continues to work closely with the
relevant authorities in Türkiye to advance the restart of the
Çöpler mine, but at this time the Company is not able to
estimate or predict when and under what conditions operations will
resume.
