SSR Mining Completes the Sale of Its 20% Equity Interest in Hod Maden

Key Terms

net smelter return royalty financial

A net smelter return (NSR) royalty is a contractual right to receive a percentage of the revenue from minerals sold after they are processed and refined, with common deductions for transportation and refining fees. Investors care because an NSR provides a predictable slice of mining project income without owning the mine, so it affects expected cash flow, risk exposure to commodity prices, and the valuation of both the royalty and the operating project—similar to collecting a portion of rent after paying building maintenance costs.

nsr financial

NSR, or Net Service Revenue, is the total income a company earns from its core services after subtracting any discounts, refunds, or allowances. It reflects the actual money coming in from the main operations, similar to how a store’s sales revenue shows what it gains from selling products, minus returns or discounts. For investors, NSR provides a clearer picture of a company's true earning power from its primary business activities.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining" or the “Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the sale of its 20% ownership stake in the Hod Maden development project (the “Project”). At closing, SSR Mining received an uncapped 4.0% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) ⁽¹⁾ on 100% of the Project (the “Transaction”).

The 4.0% Hod Maden NSR strengthens SSR Mining’s existing royalty portfolio, which currently includes NSRs on the San Luis project (4.0%) owned by Highlander Silver, the Pitarrilla project (1.25%) owned by Endeavour Silver, the Rowan property (3.0%) owned by West Red Lake Gold, and the Sunrise Lake property (4.0%) owned by Honey Badger Silver.

The Transaction closing, together with the previously announced divestment of the Çöpler mine in Türkiye, completes SSR Mining’s strategic refocus to a free cash flow leading Americas gold and silver producer anchored by its long-lived operations in the United States.

SSR Mining would like to thank its employees and local communities across Türkiye for their cooperation, effort and support.
