• Aggregate acquisition consideration totals $270 million, which includes $120 million in upfront cash payment to acquire a 10% interest in Hod Maden, followed by $150 million in earn-in structured milestone payments to acquire an additional 30% interest, payable between the start of construction and the first anniversary of commercial production ⁴

• The acquisition of Hod Maden will add one of the highest margin and lowest capital intensity development projects globally to SSR Mining's robust portfolio of high-return growth projects and is expected to deliver an estimated all-in after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") in excess of 15% after acquisition costs

• Transaction is accretive to SSR Mining across all meaningful per share valuation metrics, including Net Asset Value, Mineral Reserves, Mineral Resources, production, operating cash flow, and free cash flow ¹

• Based on the Feasibility Study - Technical Report NI 43-101 effective February 28, 2021 ("the 2021 Feasibility Study") published by Horizon Copper Corp. ², Hod Maden features a 13-year mine life averaging (on a 100% basis) approximately 195,000 ounces of gold equivalent production annually at first quartile co-product AISC of $588/oz, generating $164 million of annual free cash flow and a 36% after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") at base case commodity prices of $1,599/oz gold and $3.19/lb copper ³

• Transaction projected to provide SSR Mining with approximately an expected attributable 80,000 gold equivalent ounces and $66 million in free cash flow annually (at $1,599/oz gold and $3.19/lb copper) once in production, expected in 2027 ³

• Hod Maden is a world-class, high grade and high-margin asset which will further enhance SSR Mining's free cash flow generation, which has been a key pillar of the Company's strategy and sector-leading capital returns program

• The Transaction leverages SSR Mining's significant experience in Türkiye and its proven project development team that successfully delivered the Çöpler Sulfide Expansion Project on time and under budget, provides in-country synergies, and builds on a long-standing and strong joint venture partnership with Lidya Mines in Türkiye

SSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ/TSX: SSRM, ASX: SSR) ("SSR Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to acquire from Lidya Mines an up to 40% interest in, and operational control of, the Hod Maden gold-copper development project, located in northeastern Türkiye (the "Transaction"). Currently, Lidya Mines and Horizon Copper Corp. ("Horizon") hold a 70% and 30% ownership interest, respectively, in Hod Maden.

As consideration for the 40% ownership interest in Hod Maden, SSR Mining's payments include:

• $120 million upfront cash payment to acquire a 10% interest in the Project paid on closing of the Transaction on May 8, 2023; and

• $150 million in earn-in structured cash milestone payments to acquire an additional 30% interest in the Project, payable in accordance with an agreed upon schedule beginning at the start of construction and ending on the first anniversary of commercial production. ⁴

With the upfront cash payment made on closing, SSR Mining now serves as sole project operator responsible for project development, construction and operations. Upon completion of the milestone payments, SSR Mining will own 40% of the Project. ⁴

Rod Antal, President and CEO of SSR Mining, said, "We have been closely monitoring Hod Maden for well over seven years as it has progressed through critical development and permitting milestones, largely de-risking the Project as it approaches a construction decision in 2024. Our due diligence team was complimentary as to the detail and quality of work completed so far on the Project. Following our review and after discussions with our joint venture partners, we believe there are several positive operational value levers as well as exploration potential beyond the existing life of mine plan that was presented in the 2021 Feasibility Study. We will now spend the next twelve months updating the existing technical report for these value enhancing opportunities, as well as to account for changes in market conditions.

We would like to thank our joint venture partners in the Project for their support and cooperation during this process. We are excited for the outcome, which delivers our stakeholders exposure to what we believe is one of the most compelling undeveloped gold-copper projects in the world. It is clear that Hod Maden is one of the highest margin, lowest capital intensity projects in the sector, and once operational should be a meaningful free cash flow contributor to the SSR Mining business as our fifth producing asset. This is supported by the projected >15% IRR the Project will generate after acquisition costs.

Our proven project development team will work to advance Hod Maden to a full construction decision in 2024 with a goal of delivering first production in 2027. The same principles and discipline that enabled our team to deliver the Çöpler Sulfide Plant project in Türkiye on time and under budget will be applied to Hod Maden to help us maximize the value of the Project. The Project's robust economics have the ability to support a project-level finance facility, and we will build upon the project finance work completed by the joint venture to date as a potential funding opportunity while limiting SSR Mining's cash outlay. Overall, this prudently structured transaction presents an opportunity to further our commitment to low capital intensity growth, strong free cash flow generation and continued robust capital returns."

Following completion of the earn-in structured cash milestone payments, SSR Mining will own 40% of the Project, Lidya Mines will retain a 30% ownership interest and Horizon will own the remaining 30%. Horizon acquired its 30% ownership in the Project from Sandstorm Gold Ltd. on August 31, 2022 in exchange for a gold stream on production from a portion of Horizon's 30% interest and certain other non-cash consideration. SSR Mining's attributable production and free cash flow are not encumbered by the gold streaming agreement between Horizon and Sandstorm. As an upside sharing mechanism with Lidya Mines, if an additional 500,000 ounces of gold equivalent Mineral Reserves, beyond those currently identified as Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources ("MRMR") in the 2021 Feasibility Study, are delineated, SSR Mining will make an $84 million payment to Lidya Mines.

Key regulatory approvals for the Transaction have been obtained and the transaction closed on May 8^th, 2023.

Qualified Person

Imola Gotz, a qualified person under NI 43-101, has reviewed the technical and scientific information contained in this press release and verifies that such information conforms to the information disclosed in the Hod Maden Feasibility Study - Technical Report NI 43-101 effective February 28, 2021 (the "2021 Feasibility Study"). For additional information, readers should refer to the 2021 Feasibility Study which is available under Horizon Copper Corp.'s profile at www.sedar.com., filed on July 20, 2022.

Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Estimates

This press release includes terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada under NI 43-101, including the terms "Mineral Reserves" and "Mineral Resources", in addition to terms that comply with reporting standards in the United States under S-K 1300. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. The standards of NI 43-101 differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable with information made in accordance with U.S. standards. See endnote 1 for additional discussion on the difference in reporting standards and how it pertains to assumptions made in this presentation.

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 the Hod Maden project 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 the Hod Maden project 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 the Hod Maden project 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 the Hod Maden 2021 Feasibility Study.

Cash costs, AISC per ounce sold, free cash flow (FCF) before tax, free cash flow after tax, average free cash flow, and attributable average annual free cash flow are Non-GAAP Measures with no standardized definition under U.S GAAP.

The Company uses cash costs per ounce of precious metals sold, a non-GAAP financial measure, to monitor the Hod Maden project 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 the Hod Maden project's 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 the Hod Maden project operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. The Company has presented cost of sales associated with an ounce of precious metal, on a co-product basis and on a by-product basis. On a co-product basis, the company includes costs needed to produce gold and copper on both an individual basis and a combined gold equivalent basis. On a by-product basis, the cost to produce the gold is reduced as a result of the by-product copper sales, thereby allowing management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production. In this method, cash costs are presented based on an ounce of gold sold. 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 ounce metrics, are also used in the Company's internal decision making processes.

AISC includes total cost of sales incurred at the Hod Maden project'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 copper production from operations; therefore, expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures are excluded. The Company believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing gold and copper from the Hod Maden operations and provides the Company and other stakeholders with additional information about the project's operating performance and ability to generate cash flows. It allows the Company to assess the Hod Maden project's ability to support capital expenditures and to sustain future production from the generation of operating cash flows.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of cost of sales to cash costs and AISC:

(i) All line items in the above, except for cost of sales, cash costs, and total AISC which are SSR Mining prepared calculations, are set forth within the 2021 Feasibility Study. The 2021 Feasibility Study has been prepared on a 100% basis in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 and not in accordance with the requirements under S-K 1300. There are differences in the information required under NI 43-101 and S-K 1300 and these differences with respect to the Project may be material. As a SEC issuer, SSR Mining has reinterpreted the information to align with S-K 1300 reporting standards. Items presented in this table may not align due to rounding.

(ii) Payable metal as set forth in the 2021 Feasibility Study. Gold is presented on a per thousand ounce gold basis and includes both gold in copper concentrate and gold in pyrite concentrate. Copper is presented on a per million pound copper basis. Combined payable metal assumes a gold to copper ratio of 501:1 based of the gold and copper prices used in the 2021 Feasibility Study.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of gross revenues to Attributable Average Free Cash Flow:

(i) All line items in the above, except for Net Revenue, EBITDA, Free Cash Flow (FCF) Before Tax, Free Cash Flow After Tax, Average Annual Free Cash Flow and Attributable Average Annual Free Cash Flow which are SSR prepared calculations, are set forth within the 2021 Feasibility Study. The 2021 Feasibility Study has been prepared on a 100% basis in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 and not in accordance with the requirements under S-K 1300. There are differences in the information required under NI 43-101 and S-K 1300 and these differences with respect to the Project may be material. As a SEC issuer, SSR Mining has reinterpreted the information to align with S-K 1300 reporting standards. Items presented in this table may not align due to rounding.

¹ The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures including free cash flow (FCF) before tax, free cash flow after tax, average annual free cash flow, attributable average annual free cash flow, net revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), realized metals prices, cash costs and AISC per ounce sold (a common measure in the mining industry), to manage and evaluate its operating performance at its mines. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for an explanation of these financial measures and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.
