SSR MINING ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

SSR Mining Inc. has filed with and received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) for a notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) under the requirements of the TSX, permitting SSR Mining to purchase for cancellation up to 21,502,189 common shares of the company, representing approximately 10.0 per cent of the public float of SSR Mining's total issued and outstanding common shares. As of March 26, 2026, SSR Mining had 216,507,895 issued and outstanding common shares. This announcement follows SSR Mining's announcement on Feb. 17, 2026, of its board's approval of a common share buyback program, pursuant to which the company is permitted to repurchase up to $300-million in common shares over a 12-month period. The approval of the common share buyback program permits the company to execute common share repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, automatic share purchase transactions in accordance with an automatic share purchase plan and other derivative transactions.

SSR Mining believes that the market price of its common shares does not always reflect the underlying fundamental value and future growth prospects of the common shares. The actual number of common shares that may be purchased by SSR Mining, if any, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by SSR Mining based on a number of factors, including market conditions, financial results, capital investment priorities, the company's valuation and other opportunities to return capital to shareholders.

Under the NCIB, SSR Mining may purchase common shares over the next 12-month period beginning March 31, 2026, and ending March 30, 2027. The exact timing and amount of any purchases will depend on market conditions and other factors. Under the NCIB, SSR Mining is not obligated to acquire any common shares and may suspend or discontinue purchases under the NCIB at any time. Any purchases made under the NCIB will be effected through the facilities of the TSX, Nasdaq and/or alternative Canadian, and United States trading systems. Any purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the rules of the TSX, applicable U.S. securities laws and will be made at the market price at the time of the purchase. Under the NCIB, other than purchases made under block purchase exemptions, the company may purchase up to 114,131 common shares on the TSX during any trading day, such number being 25 per cent of 456,527 common shares, which is the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the TSX's acceptance of the notice of the NCIB.

The company intends to enter into an automatic share purchase plan to be effective March 31, 2026, during the term of the NCIB to allow the company to purchase common shares under the NCIB when the company would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase common shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods.
