• Definitive Agreement Signed for Çöpler Mine Sale

  SSR Mining entered into a binding share purchase agreement to sell its 80% ownership interest in the Çöpler mine and related properties in Türkiye to Cengiz Holding A.Ş. for $1.5 billion in cash. This finalizes the terms of the offering initiated on March 3, 2026.

• Expected Non-Cash Impairment Charge

  The company anticipates incurring a non-cash charge between $310 million and $340 million in the quarter ending March 31, 2026, reflecting the difference between the purchase price and the estimated net asset value of the Çöpler mine.

• Strategic De-risking and Capital Infusion

  The sale removes operational and environmental liabilities associated with the Çöpler mine, particularly following the "Çöpler Incident," and provides a substantial cash injection for SSR Mining.

This filing details the definitive agreement for SSR Mining to sell its 80% interest in the Çöpler mine and related properties in Türkiye to Cengiz Holding A.Ş. for $1.5 billion in cash. This transaction, which follows a previously announced Memorandum of Understanding, significantly de-risks the company by divesting an asset that experienced a "significant slip on the heap leach pad" (the Çöpler Incident). While the company expects to record a substantial non-cash impairment charge of $310 million to $340 million, the cash proceeds provide a significant capital infusion and allow the company to focus on its other assets. The sale is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
