DENVER - SSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ/TSX: SSRM, ASX: SSR) ("SSR Mining" or the “Company") reports consolidated
financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. In addition, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.07 per common share payable on December 19, 2022 to holders of record at the close of business on
November 18, 2022. This dividend qualifies as an 'eligible dividend' for Canadian tax purposes.
Rod Antal, President and CEO said, “Despite the headwinds we faced during the third quarter at Çöpler, our business
remains in an incredibly strong position, with a robust balance sheet and a capital returns program that is expected to deliver
nearly $160 million to shareholders by year -end. With these returns, 2022 will represent the second consecutive year we
have delivered a capital return yield greater than 5%. Our foundation of strong free cash flow generation and low capital
intensity growth remains firmly intact and will be reflected in our fourth quarter performanc e and beyond as our operations
return to steady state.
During the third quarter, a number of actions were taken to ensure a strong finish to the year at each operation. Planned
maintenance was accelerated at Çöpler to maximize plant availability in the f ourth quarter, we prioritized underground
development at Seabee in order to access a higher grade portion of the ore body in the fourth quarter and stacked more
than 135,000 recoverable ounces at an average recoverable grade of 0.63 g/t during the second a nd third quarters at
Marigold. Despite these efforts and the expectations of what will be a strong fourth quarter, we have reduced our guidance
targets for the year . The combination of a measured ramp-up at Çöpler and delayed access to oxide material from
Çakmaktepe, as well as the slower than expected recovery of ounces at Marigold, has deferred some production into 2023.
Positively, since the quarter end, all four of our operations have delivered and are poised for strong production and free
cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2022 and into 2023.”

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights (1):
(All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)
▪ Operating performance: Delivered third quarter production of 106,919 gold equivalent ounces at production costs of
$1,099 per gold equivalent ounce and AISC of $1,901 per gold equivalent ounce, reflecting the inclusion of $31.1 million
of cash costs incurred at Çöpler during the suspension. Year -to-date production is 441,164 gold equivalent ounces at
production costs of $955 per gold equivalent ounce and AISC of $1,331 per gold equivalent ounce. Despite the
expectations of a strong fourth quarter, full year production guidance has been revised to gold equivalent production of
620,000 to 655,000 ounces. Reflecting the lower production guidance, production costs have increased to $960 to $990
per ounce and AISC guidance has increased to $1,315 to $1,345 per gold equivalent ounce.
▪ Financial results: Attributable net loss in the third quarter was $25.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, and adjusted
attributable net loss was $13.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 ,
operating cash flow was $42.8 million and free cash flow was $(73.4) million. Cash generated by operating activities
before working capital adjustments over the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $212.7 million, and free cash
flow before working capital adjustments was $96.5 million. Strong fourth quarter production is expected to feature a
drawdown of inventories that benefits quarterly free cash flow generation.
▪ Execution of peer-leading capital returns program : In the third quarter, SSR Mining returned nearly $100.0 million
to shareholders, consisting of $14.3 million in dividends and $85.4 million in share repurchases. Since the Normal
Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) program’s inception on June 20, 2022, the Company purchased a total of 6,053,126 shares
at an average price of $ 16.53 per share for total consideration of approximately $100.0 million. In addition, the Board
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share to be paid on December 19, 2022. Including the December 19th
dividend, the Company is expected to return approximately $160.0 million to shareholders in 2022 or a yield of
approximately 5.5%.
▪ Resilient balance sheet: At the end of the third quarter, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of
$748.5 million, after $53.4 million in scheduled debt repayments, $44.4 million in dividend payments to equity
shareholders, $100.0 million in share repurchases, and $34.5 million in dividends to joint venture partners in 2022. Non-
GAAP net cash totals $464.8 million as of September 30, 2022.
▪ Çöpler production restarted late September: Received the required regulatory approvals from Türkiye’s government
authorities on September 22nd, 2022 and subsequently restarted all operations. Maintenance previously scheduled for
the fourth quarter of 2022 was accelerated and completed during the third quarter, including scheduled partial relining
of the face bricks in Autoclave 1. With this maintenance work now complete, no major scheduled sulfide plant
maintenance shutdowns are planned at Çöpler for the remainder of 2022. Due to the measured ramp-up of operations
at the sulfide plant and the later than expected access to oxide ounces from Çakmaktepe in the third quarter, Çöpler’s
full year production guidance has been revised to 180,000 to 190,000 ounces at production costs of $1,000 to $1,030
per ounce and AISC of $1,345 to $1,375 per ounce.
▪ Marigold stacked 65,000 recoverable ounces in third quarter; record ounces stacked in October : Produced
52,236 ounces of gold in the third quarter, in line with expectations for a fourth quarter weighted production profile.
Higher grade ore stacked in the second and third quarters of 2022 , along with record recoverable ounces stacked in
October, are expected to support strong quarterly production at Marigold in the fourth quarter and into 2023. Despite
this strong close to the year, some of the higher grade ounces stacked in the second half of 2022 are not expected to
be recovered until 2023. As a result, Marigold’s full year production guidance has been revised to 195,000 to 205,000
ounces at production costs of $1,065 to $1,095 per ounce and AISC of $1,410 to $1,440 per ounce.
▪ Seabee underground development accelerated to access high grade ounces: Produced 20,493 ounces of gold in
the third quarter at production costs of $908 per ounce and AISC of $1,304 per ounce as Seabee accelerated
underground development in order to access higher grade ore in the fourth quarter. Seabee is on track for the lower
end of its 150,000 to 160,000 ounces production guidance at production costs of $455 to $485 per ounce and AISC of
$715 to $745 per ounce.

▪ Puna continues to deliver strong mill performance: Produced 2.7 million ounces of silver at production costs of
$15.47 per ounce of silver in the third quarter and AISC of $15.91 per ounce of silver. Throughput averaged more than
4,700 tonnes per day during the quarter. Puna is on track for full year guidance of 8. 25 to 8.75 million ounces of silver
at production costs of $17.25 to $17.75 per ounce and AISC of $15.00 to $15.50 per ounce.
▪ Exploration activities progressed across the portfolio: The Company recently announced exploration results from
Çakmaktepe Extension (“Ardich”), highlighting strong results that support potential Mineral Reserve and Resource
growth expected to be included in the Çöpler technical report summary in 2023. In addit ion, the Company expects to
release exploration results from resource expansion and development programs across the portfolio in the fourth quarter
of 2022.
▪ Completed the sale of the Pitarrilla project: During the quarter, the Company closed the sale of the Pitarrilla project
to Endeavour Silver. As consideration for the sale, SSR Mining received $35 million in cash, $35 million (2) in shares of
Endeavour Silver, and a 1.25% net smelter return royalty on the Pitarrilla property. The sale was originally ann ounced
on January 13, 2022.
▪ Consolidated ownership of the Çöpler District: Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced an agreement
to acquire an additional 30% ownership interest in the Kartaltepe Mining Joint Venture at the Çöpler District from partner
Lidya Mining for total consideration of $150 million in cash, streamlining operating, financial and exploration activities
across the Ҫӧpler District while creating tangible synergies. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 2022. Upon completion of the transaction, SSR Mining will own 80% of the entirety of the Çöpler District.
(2) The fair value of the common shares of Endeavour Silver on July 6, 2022 was $25.6 million. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consol idated Financial Statements in SSR

(7) Growth exploration and resource development expenditures are shown on a 100% basis, of which SSR Mining attributable amount totals $50 million.
Ҫӧpler: Production restarted at Ҫӧpler at the end of September following the suspension. During this time, the Company
accelerated and completed planned maintenance in Ҫӧpler’s sulfide plant that had been previously planned for the fourth
quarter of 2022, which included scheduled partial relining of the face bricks in Autoclave 1. With this maintenance work now
complete, no major scheduled sulfide plant maintenance shutdowns are planned for Ҫӧpler for the remainder of 2022.
For the month ended October 31, 2022, production ramped up to approximately 18,000 ounces. Despite this strong start to
the quarter, production guidance has been revised downward to 180,000 to 190,000 ounces of gold as a result of the
measured ramp-up of operations and the later than expected access to oxide ounces at Çakmaktepe in the third quarter.
Full year production cost guidance is now of $1,000 to $1,030 per ounce and AISC of $1,345 to $1,375 per ounce. Oxide
production previously expected in the fourth quarter of 2022 is now expected to be recovered in the first quarter of 2023.
Marigold: In third quarter of 2022, Marigold stacked 65,000 recoverable ounces, bringing total recoverable ounces stacked
in the second and third quarters of 2022 to more than 135,000 ounces at a recoverable grade of 0.63 g/t. However, given
reduced shovel availability and the continued delay in heap leach recovery due to finer ore from the north pits, some of the
ounces previously expected in the fourth quarter are now likely to be recovered in 2023. As such, Marigold ’s full year
production guidance has been revised to 195,000 to 205,000 ounces of gold at p roduction costs of $1,065 to $1,095 per
ounce and AISC of $1,410 to $1,440 per ounce.
Seabee: During the third quarter, the Company accelerated development to access a high grade area of the Santoy
Reserves that is expected to drive strong production in th e fourth quarter of 2022. Seabee remains on track for the lower
end its 150,000 to 160,000 ounces production guidance at production costs of $455 to $485 per ounce and AISC of $715
to $745 per ounce.
Puna: With mill throughput targeted to remain at or above 4,500 tonnes per day for the rest of 2022, Puna is on track for
production guidance of 8.25 to 8.75 million ounces of silver at improved production costs of $17.25 to $17.75 per ounce and
AISC of $15.00 to $15.50 per ounce.

respectively. During the third quarter, the Company accelerated underground development to access another high grade
area of the Santoy Reserves . For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Seabee produced 111,416 and
83,318 ounces of gold, respectively. The increase in gold production during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the
prior year was the result of a 21.4% increase in mill feed grade to 11.84 g/t and increased mine and mill productivity levels.
Exploration and definition work is continuing at the high grade zone mined in the first quarter which, if successful, could
enable mining in this area in 2023. During the third quarter, production costs were $908 per ounce and AISC were $1,304.
