SSR Mining Inc. is repositioning as an Americas-focused precious metals producer. Its core operating assets are Marigold (Nevada, USA -- the largest revenue contributor, having produced over 5 million cumulative ounces across 35+ years of operation), Seabee (Saskatchewan, Canada) and CC&V (Cripple Creek & Victor, Colorado, USA). SSR Mining signed a definitive share purchase agreement on 24 Mar 2026 to sell its 80% stake in the Çöpler mine (Türkiye) for $1.5 billion cash, following a 2024 heap-leach incident there; that transaction had not yet closed as of this research pass and Çöpler is deliberately not counted among this record's core assets. Rodney P. Antal has served as Executive Chairman since Jun 2023 (previously President and CEO) and functions as the company's top executive; Michael J. Sparks is CFO. Q2 2026 group AISC was $2,622/oz, above full-year guidance, which management attributed to the timing of capital spending; the balance sheet holds $1.8B cash from continuing operations and no debt.
Notable vs. Peers
- Financials score of 10/10 is stronger than the peer average of 6.4/10.
- All-in sustaining cost of $2,622/oz is 35% higher than the peer producer average of $1,948/oz.
- Trading within 2% of its 52-week high — strong recent price momentum.
Lifecycle Milestones
Construction Milestones
5 of 5 reached- Reached — date not disclosed · Multi-mine, multi-country producer with mines permitted independently over years/decades; no single company-wide permit date exists. Row presence documents that current producing mines are, by definition, permitted. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · Same multi-mine caveat as PERMIT_GRANTED -- no single company-wide construction-decision date represents a multi-asset portfolio built up over years. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · Same multi-mine caveat -- see the flagship-project-specific note in this miner's description/technicalReportNote for the best-documented individual mine build in the current portfolio. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · Row presence confirms current production status (Q2 2026 production across Marigold/CC&V/Seabee, per SSR Mining's own results release). Marigold alone has operated for 35+ years; no single company-wide first-production date is meaningful. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · Genuinely reached, but no single company-wide commercial-production date exists across a multi-mine North/South American portfolio (Marigold in Nevada, CC&V in Colorado, Seabee in Saskatchewan, Puna in Argentina) built over decades; Copler (Turkiye) and Hod Maden were divested in 2026 (~$1.5B cash proceeds) and are no longer part of the producing portfolio. Q2 2026 results reported gold production of 75,601 oz (Marigold 31,059 oz, CC&V 27,725 oz, Seabee 16,817 oz) plus Puna's 1,661koz silver (26,358 GEO), for consolidated production of 101,959 GEO from continuing operations. This row was missing entirely prior to 2026-08-21 -- a genuine data gap, not a stage error; Miner.stage was already correctly PRODUCTION. · Source
Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.
