SSR Mining Announces Additional $500 Million Share Buyback and Reinstatement of Quarterly Dividend

SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining" or the “Company") is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved an additional $500 million for share repurchases and the reinstatement of a regular quarterly dividend as part of the Company’s ongoing capital returns program.

Rod Antal, Executive Chairman of SSR Mining said, “These additional capital returns build on the $774 million we have returned to shareholders since 2021, including $300 million in share repurchases completed in the second quarter of 2026. Year-to-date, our shareholder returns already represent a yield of approximately 5%, before giving effect to the additional $500 million authorization for share repurchases and the reinstatement of a quarterly dividend announced today. Together, these actions reinforce SSR Mining’s disciplined approach to capital allocation and commitment to delivering value to shareholders.”

SSR Mining is in a strong financial position, supported by ongoing free cash flow generation, a robust balance sheet, and the anticipated closing of the previously announced sale of the Çöpler mine for $1.5 billion in cash, which remains on track to close before the end of the third quarter. This financial strength complements SSR Mining’s position as a free-cash-flow-leading, Americas-focused gold and silver producer, and provides the financial flexibility for continued and meaningful reinvestment in the business while evaluating value-accretive growth opportunities and continuing to return capital to shareholders.
