SILVER STANDARD ANNOUNCES PROPOSED NAME CHANGE TO SSR MINING
VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Silver Standard Resources Inc. (NASDAQ: SSRI) (TSX: SSO) (“Silver
Standard” or the “Company”) announces that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has
recommended changing the Company’s name to SSR Mining Inc. (“SSR Mining”). The Company
will seek shareholder approval for the proposed name change at its annu al and special meeting
of shareholders to be held May 4, 2017.
Paul Benson, President and CEO said, “With go ld representing approximately 70% of our
revenue, the current name does not accurately reflect our business. We have evolved from a
silver-focused producer to an intermediate prec ious metals producer with three mines in the
Americas. The proposed name, which includes the initials of our existing name, is a natural
evolution in our more than 70-year history. While we are recommending a change to our name,
our relentless focus on creating shareholder value remains.”
If the name change to SSR Mining is approved by shareholders, the Company plans to change its
Nasdaq Global Market and Toronto Stock Exchange ticker symbols to “SSRM”. The timing of the
name change, ticker symbol change and corporate re-branding will be announced at a later date.
Subject to the name change, the Company’s web domain name will change to
www.ssrmining.com.
