SSR Mining Temporarily Suspends Operations at Its Seabee Mine
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
SSRM temporarily halted the Seabee mine operations due to power outages from nearby forest fires.
The mine produced 26,001 ounces of gold in 1Q25, marking a 9.4% year-over-year increase.
Despite the disruption, SSRM shares rose 3% and hit a 52-week high of $13.33 on higher gold and silver prices.
SSR Mining Inc. (SSRM - Free Report) has announced that it is temporarily suspending operations at the Seabee mine in Canada. This decision was made due to power outages driven by nearby forest fires.
Details on SSR Mining’s Seabee Mine
The forest fires erupted around 15 kilometers to the north of the mine, and do not pose an immediate threat to Seabee and its infrastructure. However, the company is taking routine safety precautions to ensure staff safety.
At the end of the first quarter of 2025, the Seabee mine produced 26,001 ounces of gold, up 9.4% year over over.
After the first quarter, SSR Mining expected the mine to produce 70,000-80,000 ounces of gold for 2025. The mine’s cost of sales is likely to be $1,230-$1,270 per payable ounce and AISC is anticipated to be $1,710-$1,750 per payable ounce for 2025.
SSRM’s Share Price Remain High
Despite the news of the temporary halt of the Seabee mine on June 4, SSR Mining’s shares have gained 3% and even scaled a new 52-week high of $13.33 on Friday before ending the session at a lower at $12.74. The upside is majorly driven by high gold prices and record silver prices.
Silver prices reached a 13-year high above $36 per ounce as investors turned to safe assets amid global uncertainty. Gold prices are also gaining from several factors that have contributed to its upward trajectory, including increased geopolitical tensions, a depreciating U.S. dollar, the potential for monetary policy easing and continuous purchasing by central banks. Backed by these, the yellow metal broke through the $3,500-per-ounce threshold for the first time in April 2025 and is currently around $3,320.
SSR Mining is also gaining from its recently closed acquisition of the Cripple Creek & Victor mine from Newmont Corporation (NEM - Free Report) . This strategic move positions SSRM as the third-largest gold producer in the United States. This deal with Newmont will boost SSR Mining’s annual production by 170,000 ounces of gold.
SSR Mining’s Share Price Performance
SSRM shares have skyrocketed 147.9% over the past year against the industry’s 2.2% decline.
