Full Year Production Aligned With Expectations For SSR Mining

DENVER, CO – 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.”
As of December 31, 2025, SSR Mining owns 80% of Çöpler and 10% of Hod Maden. SSR Mining can earn-in to own up to 40% of the Hod Maden development project through earn-in payments.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Marigold produced 42,770 and 59,702 ounces of gold, respectively. Full-year 2025 production at Marigold of 153,535 ounces of gold compared to full-year guidance of 160,000 to 190,000 ounces. 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.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, CC&V (Cripple Creek & Victor) produced 39,392 ounces of gold. From February 28, 2025 to December 31, 2025, CC&V produced 124,557 ounces of gold. Inclusive of the 28,000 ounces of gold produced in the first two months of 2025 under prior ownership, full-year production from CC&V totaled 152,557 ounces of gold. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company published a TRS for CC&V highlighting an initial 12-year life of mine plan with significant optionality for future growth.
In 2026, production at CC&V is expected to be 50 to 55% weighted to the second half. CC&V is expected to stack 18 to 20 million ore tonnes in 2026 at an average grade of 0.35 to 0.40 grams per tonne and a full-year average stripping ratio of 1.0:1. Sustaining capital is expected to total $34 million in 2026, with more than 60% of that spend incurred in the first half of the year. Accordingly, AISC are expected to trend above the full-year guidance range in the first half of the year.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Seabee produced 8,869 and 27,811 ounces of gold, respectively. Production from Seabee in 2025 reflected the temporary suspension of operations in the second quarter due to the impacts of regional forest fires, as well as the previously guided effort to prioritize underground mine development in the second half of the year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, Seabee produced 54,986 ounces of gold, compared to production guidance of 70,000 to 80,000 ounces.
In 2026, production from Seabee is expected to be strongest in the fourth quarter due to higher grades. Over the course of the year, processed grades at Seabee are expected to average approximately 5.0 g/t, while process plant throughputs are expected to average approximately 1,200 tonnes per day, inclusive of planned maintenance downtime in the second quarter.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
