BASIS OF REPORT PREPARATION

This report was prepared in accordance with the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (“ESTMA” or the “Act”) issued by the Government of Canada. The information in this report was prepared by SSR Mining Inc. (“SSR Mining”) for the sole purpose of complying with SSR Mining’s obligations under the Act. The information contained in this report is provided solely for the benefit of Natural Resources Canada (“NRCan”) and in connection with SSR Mining’s obligations under the Act. This report may not be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without SSR Mining’s express prior written consent.

The following is a summary of key judgments and policies for SSR Mining’s ESTMA report:


1. REPORTING CURRENCY

Reportable payments to governments have been disclosed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise shown.

Payments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars were translated using the exchange rate at the time the payment was made. The weighted average exchange rates for 2024 are as follows:

Turkish lira 32.5202 per one U.S. dollar
Canadian dollar 1.3793 per one U.S. dollar
Argentine peso 938.3505 per one U.S. dollar

2. PAYEE

A Payee is defined as:

(a)any government in Canada or in a foreign state

a.a body that is established by two or more governments

a.any trust, board, commission, corporation or body or authority that is established to exercise or perform, or that exercises or performs, a power, duty or function of government for a government referred to in paragraph (a) or a body referred to in paragraph (b).

Payees include governments at any level, including national, regional, state, provincial, local, or municipal levels. Payees may include non-governmental entities if the benefit bestowed would have otherwise been provided by the government. Payees also include any government-owned entities that exercise or perform a power, duty or function of government. This includes universities, school boards and certain not-for-profit organizations funded by a Payee when these exercise a power, duty or function of the government.

Aboriginal and indigenous groups and organizations may also be regarded as a government payee under
the Act. Currently, the Company does not make payment to such groups.

Payments made to government entities through third-party ‘agents’ are included. The individual department, agency or other body of the payee that ultimately received the payment is disclosed, where practical, in the notes section of this Report.







3. PROJECTS

Payments are reported at the project level. A “Project” means the operational activities that are governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement and form the basis for payment liabilities with a government. However, if multiple such agreements are substantially interconnected, SSR Mining has aggregated such interconnected agreements into a single “Project” for reporting purposes, as permitted under the NRCan Technical Reporting Specifications.

4. PAYMENTS

Reportable payments made to governments are presented on a cash basis for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Any payment, whether made as a single payment or a series of payments, below the CAD$100,000 threshold as set out under the Act in a given category to a particular government was not reported. Reportable payments have been rounded to the nearest US$10,000 but rounding was not to be used for determining reportable payments.

The information is reported under the following payment categories:

A) Taxes

This category consists of taxes paid to governments based on income, profit or production in relation to the commercial development of minerals. The following are not included in total payments to governments:

Consumption tax, such as value-added tax, excise tax and custom tax
Personal income tax
Withholding tax
Taxes which were offset by credits
Other taxes that do not relate to the commercial development of minerals, such as payroll tax, stamp tax and personal asset tax

B) Royalties

This category consists of royalties paid to governments relating to the commercial development of minerals. Royalties paid in kind are also reported under this category. There were no royalties paid in-kind to payees for the year ended December 31, 2024.

C) Fees

This category consists of fees paid to governments relating to the commercial development of minerals, such as permit and license fees. This does not include amounts paid in the ordinary course of commercial transactions in exchange for services provided by governments, such as utilities paid at market rates.

Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), a third party contractor has been engaged to work directly with the BLM to provide technical guidance and direction in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement in respect of the Company’s Marigold mine in Nevada, U.S. Payment for such services is made directly to such third party contractor by a subsidiary of SSR Mining; however, such amounts have been included in the reported payments to the BLM.





D) Production entitlements

This category includes payments made to governments relating to a share of production under production sharing agreements or similar contractual or legislated arrangements. There were no production entitlements payments made to governments for the year ended December 31, 2024.

E) Bonuses

This category includes signing, discovery, production and any other type of bonuses paid to governments. There were no bonus payments made to governments for the year ended December 31, 2024.

F) Dividends

This category consists of dividends paid to governments on shares given in lieu of a bonus, production entitlements, royalties or other fees. This does not include dividends paid to governments as an ordinary shareholder. There were no dividends paid to governments for the year ended December 31, 2024.

G) Infrastructure improvement payments

This category consists of payments made to governments for the construction of public infrastructure, such as roads, schools and hospitals that directly relate to the commercial development of minerals, including spend on community development initiatives in the local communities around the mine sites. This does not include infrastructure improvement payments that relate primarily to the operational purposes of SSR Mining. Payments are reported in the period in which the payment was made.

5. Payments made in situations of joint operations / joint ventures

Where SSR Mining has itself made a reportable payment to a payee, regardless of whether SSR Mining is the operator, the full amount paid has been disclosed. This is the case where SSR Mining as the operator has been proportionally reimbursed by its non-operating partners through a partner billing process.
