SSR completes the Copler divestment on schedule, advancing its Americas pivot and funding a $500 million share buyback program.

Executive Summary
- SSR Mining has closed the sale of its 80% ownership stake in the Çöpler mine and related properties in Türkiye to Cengiz Holding A.S. and affiliates.
- The transaction generated approximately $1.49 billion in cash consideration at closing, subject to standard working capital adjustments.
- The divestiture formally completes the company's strategic exit from Turkish assets and refocuses the portfolio on a diversified, lower-risk Americas platform.
- Proceeds from the sale directly fund the $500 million share repurchase authorization and the reinstatement of a quarterly dividend announced on June 15, 2026.
Material Impact
- The closing of the $1.49 billion Çöpler sale is a definitive strategic milestone that de-risks the balance sheet and unlocks capital for shareholder returns.
- The transaction was announced in March 2026, finalized in April, and closed in June, fully aligning with prior guidance and market expectations.
- The stock has already absorbed the valuation impact, rallying from ~$16.55 to a high of $49.01 in May before consolidating.
- Because the news confirms execution of a previously telegraphed transaction and does not introduce new operational or financial surprises, it is classified as Routine - Positive.
