History and when SSR Mining Inc. was founded
SSR Mining traces its origins to Silver Standard Resources, founded in 1946 in Canada with an initial focus on silver projects. Throughout the mid and late twentieth century, the company expanded by identifying and developing deposits across the Americas, navigating cycles of commodity prices and strengthening its geological capabilities.
Its early growth was rooted in exploration, resource delineation and development of projects aligned with emerging industrial demand for silver.
During the 2000s, the company undertook a strategic shift by diversifying into gold production and expanding internationally. This period marked significant modernization of mining operations, adoption of new technologies and acquisition of assets that broadened its resource base. Diversification reduced the company’s exposure to silver-price volatility and provided a more stable platform for long-term growth.
A pivotal milestone occurred in 2020 with the merger of SSR Mining (formerly Silver Standard Resources) and Alacer Gold. The transaction formed a combined entity with greater production capacity, geographic diversity and operational synergies. The Çöpler gold mine in Turkey became a central asset in the new portfolio, positioning the company as a prominent global gold producer.
Between 2020 and 2024, SSR Mining advanced initiatives focused on mine-life extension, operational efficiency, metallurgical improvements and environmental performance. The period also included expansion of exploration programs, enhancement of risk-management frameworks and adaptation to increasingly stringent sustainability expectations.
The company continues to position itself as a resilient participant in the global precious-metals sector, emphasizing disciplined growth and responsible resource development.
