SSR Mining continues to work closely with the relevant authorities to advance the required permits for the restart of the Çöpler mine following the February 13, 2024 incident. Once all necessary regulatory approvals, including the operating permits, are reinstated, it is anticipated that initial operations would consist of processing a combination of stockpiled ore and ore mined from Çakmaktepe, in conjunction with future remediation work. At this time, we are not able to estimate or predict when and under what conditions the Company will resume operations at Çöpler.
SSR Mining continues to anticipate the cost for Çöpler remediation and containment work from April 1, 2024 onwards remains unchanged at

Qualified Persons
All key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources reported herein in respect of Çöpler, Marigold, Seabee and Puna, and the data verification procedures followed, are set out in the Technical Report Summary on the Çöpler Property, Türkiye, the Technical Report Summary on the Marigold Complex,
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
The Company uses cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold, a non-GAAP financial measure, to monitor its operating performance internally, including operating cash costs, and for internal decision making. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying cash costs of operations and the impact of by-product credits on its cost structure. The Company also believes it is a relevant metric used to understand its operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. When deriving the cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, the Company includes the by-product credits as it considers the cost to produce the gold or silver is reduced as a result of the by-product sales incidental to the gold and silver production process, thereby allowing management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold and silver production. In calculating cash costs per payable ounce, the Company also excludes the impact of specific items that are significant, but not reflective of its underlying operations. When 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. Cash costs per payable ounce metrics, net of by-product credits, are also used in the Company's internal decision making processes.
AISC includes total cost of sales incurred at the Company's mining operations, which forms the basis of its by-product 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 expenditures are excluded. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments and financing costs are also excluded. The Company believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing gold and silver from current operations and provides the Company and other stakeholders with additional information about its operating performance and ability to generate cash flows. It allows the Company to assess its ability to support capital expenditures and to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows.

Information Regarding CC&V
All information related to CC&V’s 2023 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources is derived solely from Newmont Corporation’s (“Newmont”) press release (“Newmont Announces 2023 Mineral Reserves for Integrated Company of 136 Million Gold Ounces with Robust Copper Optionality of 30 Billion Pounds”) dated February 22, 2024, and all information related to CC&V’s 2024 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources is derived from Newmont’s press release “Newmont Reports 2024 Mineral Reserves of 134.1 Million Gold Ounces and 13.5 Million Tonnes of Copper”, dated February 20, 2025, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Newmont, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025 (collectively, the “Newmont Disclosure”). You should closely review the Newmont Disclosure in their entirety to learn about the risk, considerations and qualifications to which this information is subject. We have not independently verified the information derived from the Newmont Disclosure. These “historical estimates” (as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties (“NI 43-101”)) are provided solely for information purposes and have not been independently verified by SSR Mining. These historical estimates are based on work completed and estimates prepared by Newmont, they are not current and should not be treated as SSR Mining’s current estimates of Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources at CC&V.
Newmont’s Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources for 2024 were based on a gold price assumption of
Newmont has not prepared a technical report summary in accordance with the requirements of Subpart 1300 under Regulation SK of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or a technical report in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101, and Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves have not been calculated in accordance with NI 43-101. As a result, the production estimates made by SSR Mining are based on the Newmont Disclosure and have not been prepared, reviewed or verified by an independent, third-party qualified person and no such qualified person has done sufficient work to classify the Newmont Disclosure as Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves as prescribed by Subpart 1300 or NI 43-101 and SSR is not treating the historical estimate as current Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves for purposes of Subpart 1300 or NI 43-101.
