DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nSSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ\/TSX: SSRM, ASX: SSR) (“SSR Mining” or the \u201cCompany”) is pleased to announce results from 42 diamond drill holes completed at the Copper Hill property (\u201cCopper Hill\u201d or \u201cthe Property\u201d), for the period from June, 2022 to October, 2022. Copper Hill is located approximately 30 kilometers southwest of the town of K\u00fcrt\u00fcn in the Black Sea region of northeast T\u00fcrkiye, and is approximately 260 kilometers from SSR Mining\u2019s Hod Maden project (see Figure 1<\/i>). Exploration at Copper Hill to date has focused on defining the initial footprint of copper mineralization through diamond drilling. Reflecting the Property\u2019s growth potential, SSR Mining increased its ownership in the Copper Hill joint venture to 70% at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

\nAt present, copper mineralization has been defined along nearly one kilometer of strike to a depth of approximately 250 meters below surface (see Figure 2<\/i>). Currently, the mineralization exhibits low levels of other metals (less than 0.03% lead and zinc) and arsenic (averaging below 8ppm), suggesting potential for a clean copper concentrate attractive to smelting companies. Results to date also showcase mineralization starting from surface over broad intercepts that suggest potential for an open pit operation in the future. Exploration activity is planned to restart in September, 2023, targeting potential extensions of the currently defined mineralization as well as identifying and testing new targets on the property.<\/p>\n
