  • Guidance and Future Outlook:

    • Year-to-date production of 315,459 GEOs remains aligned with full-year 2026 guidance of 450,000 to 535,000 GEOs.
    • Full-year 2026 AISC is expected to trend approximately 10% above the upper end of the original guidance range due to resequencing at Puna, higher royalty costs, diesel price pressures, and labor and input cost inflation.
    • The company expects robust free cash flow into year-end.
    • The acquisition of Roxmore Resources is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions including court approval.
    • First production from the Converse Gold Project is targeted for 2033.
  • Business Segments and Product Lines:

    • Marigold (USA): Produced 29,135 ounces of gold in Q3 2026 (vs. 36,273 in Q3 2025). AISC was $2,714 per ounce. Full-year production is strongly weighted to Q4 due to pumping upgrades and inventory drawdown.
    • Cripple Creek & Victor (USA): Produced 31,567 ounces of gold in Q3 2026 (vs. 29,821 in Q3 2025). AISC was $2,126 per ounce.
    • Seabee (Canada): Produced 15,949 ounces of gold in Q3 2026 (vs. 9,118 in Q3 2025). AISC was $2,094 per ounce. Results included scheduled process plant downtime deferred from Q2.
    • Puna (Argentina): Produced 1.7 million ounces of silver in Q3 2026 (vs. 2.4 million in Q3 2025). AISC was $25.64 per ounce. Additional ore identification supports potential mine life extension, though resequencing defers lower-cost stockpiled ore processing.
    • Strategic Repositioning: Completed the sale of its 20% stake in the Hod Maden project for a 4.0% net smelter return royalty and divested its Çöpler mine ownership in Q2 2026, finalizing the exit from Türkiye.
    • Acquisition: Announced an agreement to acquire Roxmore Resources and its Converse Gold Project, adjacent to Marigold, with potential to add 150,000 to 170,000 ounces of annual gold production.
    • Technical Report: Announced an updated Marigold Technical Report Summary with a $3.3 billion NPV5% and a more than 50% increase in total gold production over the prior life of mine plan, supporting a 20-year mine life.
    • Development: Advancing brownfield projects including Buffalo Valley at Marigold, Cortaderas at Puna, and Porky at Seabee.
  • Market and Competitive Landscape:

    • SSR Mining is the third-largest gold producer in the United States.
    • The company has repositioned as a free-cash-flow-focused gold and silver producer anchored by long-lived Marigold and CC&V operations in the U.S.
    • Average realized gold price for the quarter was $4,247 per ounce, compared to $3,503 in 2025.
    • Average realized silver price for the quarter was $58.39 per ounce, compared to $41.92 in 2025.
  • Risks and Challenges:

    • Full-year AISC is trending above guidance due to inflationary pressures in Argentina, higher royalty costs, persistent diesel price pressures, and broader labor and input cost inflation.
    • Operational challenges at Puna include resequencing that defers lower-cost production from stockpiled ore.
    • The Roxmore acquisition is subject to court approval and other customary closing conditions.
    • Forward-looking information is subject to risks including commodity price volatility, regulatory changes, political and economic conditions, and operational execution risks.
  • Management Commentary and Tone:

    • Executive Chairman Rod Antal stated the company delivered positive milestones to create long-term value, affirming its status as a free-cash-flow-focused producer in the Americas.
    • Management expressed confidence in the upside potential of the share price, citing consistent share buyback activity.
    • The tone indicates confidence in operational delivery for full-year production guidance despite cost headwinds.
  • Other Key Points:

    • The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per common share, payable December 11, 2026, to shareholders of record November 13, 2026.
    • In Q3 2026, the company completed $193.6 million in share buybacks (6.2 million shares).
    • For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, share buybacks totaled approximately 16.6 million shares or more than $530 million.
