Factors Likely to Have Shaped SSR Mining’s Q2 Performance

SSR Mining had reported a 2% year-over-year increase in gold equivalent production for the first quarter of 2025, totaling 103,805 ounces. The highlight of the quarter was the contribution from the recently acquired Cripple Creek & Victor (CC&V) mine, which bolstered overall output and expanded SSRM’s U.S. operations.

SSR Mining closed the CC&V acquisition on Feb. 28, 2025. Despite being integrated for only a month during the quarter, CC&V contributed 11,282 ounces of gold to SSRM’s production.

At the Marigold mine, gold production increased 11% year over year to 38,586 ounces, in line with the company’s expectations as Red Dot waste stripping continues. Full-year 2025 gold production guidance is set at 160,000-190,000, with 55-60% of production weighted to the second half of the year. 

Seabee produced 26,001 ounces of gold in the first quarter, up 9% year over year, supported by high-grade ore from the Santoy 9 zone. Despite a temporary two-week suspension at Seabee in June due to power disruptions caused by nearby forest fires, SSRM maintains full-year production guidance at 70,000-80,000 ounces for the site.

The Puna mine produced 2.5 million ounces of silver (moz), which marked a 31% increase year over year. 2025 production guidance for Puna is 8.00- 8.75 moz, with production expected to be 50-55% weighted to the first half of 2025, driven largely by grades.

However, operations at the Çöpler mine in Türkiye remain suspended due to the significant slip on the heap leach pad on Feb. 13, 2024. Despite this setback, the company projects gold production between 320,000 and 380,000 ounces in 2025 across Seabee, Marigold and CC&V. It had produced 275,013 ounces of gold in 2024.

Including silver output from Puna, total gold equivalent production for the year is forecast at 410,000-480,000 ounces, marking a 10% increase over the 2024 level.

We expect the company to report higher production numbers in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting the contribution from CC&V and ongoing momentum at Seabee and Marigold.

In the April-June 2025 period, gold prices averaged around $3.301.42 per ounce, marking a 41% year-over-year increase. Tariff threats, financial uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and solid demand from central banks boosted gold prices. Prices had even reached the $3,500 per-ounce mark for the first time. 

Overall, higher production levels and gold prices, somewhat offset by the care and maintenance costs related to Çöpler, will reflect on the company’s earnings in the quarter.

Year to date, SSRM shares have gained 71.2%, outpacing the industry's 12.2% growth. In comparison, the Basic Materials sector has risen 8.9%, while the S&P 500 has moved up 7.4%.
