Porky Main and Porky West Drilling Returns Broad Intercepts of Near Surface Mineralization, Potential for Future Open Pit Development

Article content

DENVER — SSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ/TSX: SSRM, ASX: SSR) (“SSR Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from 377 diamond drill holes completed at the Seabee property in Saskatchewan, Canada, for the September, 2021 to November, 2022 exploration period (the “Exploration Period”). These results build upon, and are subsequent to, the Seabee 2021 Technical Report Summary (the “2021 Seabee TRS”), which highlighted a six-year Mineral Reserve life averaging approximately 96,000 ounces of annual gold production. The life of mine plan in the 2021 TRS was based on 580,000 ounces of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves calculated using a cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t Au and a 1.8 meter minimum mining width.

Activity during the Exploration Period included both near-mine resource development drilling adjacent to current underground infrastructure at the Santoy Mine Complex (“Santoy”), as well as more regional activity across the Seabee property (Figure 1). Notably, the regional exploration activity included drilling at the Porky Main and Porky West targets, with results to-date returning broad intercepts of near-surface mineralization potentially amenable to open pit mining in the future. Additional regional exploration included the initial delineation of the Shane target, which remains open along strike and is located adjacent to the Santoy Road that connects the mine to the Seabee processing facility.

A total of 279 resource development drill holes were completed at Santoy during the Exploration Period. Santoy is the source of the current production feed for the Seabee processing plant and contributes the entirety of the existing Seabee Mineral Reserves. Exploration activity at Santoy aims to extend existing mineralization, upgrade Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves, and provide greater confidence in currently defined Mineral Reserves for future mine planning purposes. Drilling focused on areas immediately adjacent to current mine development, with the positive results indicating possible continuity of the mineralization currently being mined and demonstrating potential for Mineral Reserve growth and mine life extensions.

Step-out drilling highlights from Santoy include (see Figure 2) (see Table 1) (all intercepts true width):

Rod Antal, President and CEO of SSR Mining, said, “Building on Seabee’s long history of successfully replacing depletion, drilling activity continues to focus on defining and converting additional Mineral Reserves at Santoy, supporting the potential for mine life extensions at Seabee. At the same time, exploration has progressed at more regional targets as we endeavor to define a longer-term production pathway for the asset. These results from the Shane, Porky Main, and Porky West targets illustrate the significant brownfield growth potential for Seabee and could potentially represent future production opportunities for the mine. While still an early-stage opportunity, the broad, near surface intercepts suggest the potential for open pit mining at the Porky targets in the future. Given the number of prospective targets at Seabee, we currently expect to expand our exploration program at the mine again in 2023 as we look for ways to aggressively advance these opportunities towards potential development.”

The Porky Main and Porky West targets are located approximately four kilometers north-northwest of the Seabee processing facility. SSR Mining completed nearly 10,800 meters of drilling (53 diamond drill holes) at the Porky targets in 2022. Porky Main and Porky West 2022 drilling highlights include (see Figure 3 and Figure 4) (see Table 2) (all intercepts core length):

The Shane target represents the intersection of a number of historical zones of gold mineralization at various stages of exploration maturity. SSR Mining completed over 19,600 meters (45 diamond drill holes) of drilling at Shane targeting five structures including the S1, S2, S3, S4 and the Shane Hangingwall (“Shane HW”) structures. This recent drilling, combined with past operator exploration, has resulted in approximately 30,000 meters of drilling across almost 100 diamond drill holes at the target. Shane drilling highlights include (see Figure 5) (see Table 3) (all intercepts true width):

Overview of the Porky Main and Porky West Targets

The Porky Main and Porky West targets are located approximately four kilometers north-northwest of the Seabee processing facility. Mineralization occurs along a 12 kilometer long openly folded unconformity, separating arenaceous sedimentary rocks of the Rae Lake synform to the north from mafic volcanic rocks of the Seabee mine area to the south. Both Porky Main and Porky West are characterized by the same calc-silicate alteration package, however, the unconformity and arenites host most of the auriferous quartz veins at the Porky West deposit.

Porky Main and Porky West were discovered in 2002. A Mineral Resource is currently defined at Porky West and contributed 52,000 tonnes of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at 5.0 g/t Au and 516,000 tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resource at 4.4 g/t Au in the 2021 Seabee TRS. However, previous exploration activity at both Porky Main and Porky West envisaged satellite underground operations. As described above, more recent interpretation suggests the potential for open pit mining at the targets in the future, which will be evaluated through additional drilling, as well as geotechnical and metallurgical analysis going forward.

Overview of the Shane Target

The Shane target is located adjacent to the Santoy Road, which connects the Santoy Mine Complex to the Seabee processing facility and is paralleled by the main powerline feeding Santoy. Drilling in the vicinity of the currently defined Shane target was first completed in 2002 and 47 diamond drill holes have been completed by past operators totaling over 10,000 meters, which identified a number of gold bearing zones at various stages of exploration maturity. During the Exploration Period, SSR Mining drilled 45 diamond drill holes at the Shane target totaling over 19,600 meters.

The focus of SSR Mining’s drilling at Shane has been to advance exploration at Shane’s S1, S2, S3 and S4 targets as a proof of concept for exploring the property more broadly. The S1-S3 targets are located along the hangingwall, footwall and within the steeply south dipping Pine Lake Conglomerate (“PLC”); a kilometer scale, east striking unit preserved in a sinistral shear zone, known as the Pine Lake Shear Zone (“PLSZ”). The plunge of S1 mineralization continues over approximately 500 meters. The S4 target is hosted within a mafic volcanic unit 50 meters north of the PLSZ. All four targets are planar and roughly sub-parallel to the contact of the PLC.

During the exploration of these zones a new target was discovered in a southeast striking, more moderately dipping splay of the PLSZ named the Shane HW. The Shane HW structure returned the highest grade and broadest mineralized intervals of the program highlighting the importance of structures oriented oblique to the PLSZ for future exploration. Economic grades and widths were encountered on all five structures tested with the most continuous mineralization encountered on the S1 structure. Step out holes have traced the host lithology to a depth of approximately 700 meters. While still early stage, the Shane target represents a target for follow up exploration and resource development drilling going forward.

Seabee Property Overview

SSR Mining’s Seabee property is 100% owned and includes the Fisher claims, of which the acquisition of 100% ownership was completed in 2022. Near mine activity during the Exploration Period focused on Mineral Resource conversion at the 8A, 9A, and Santoy Hanging Wall (“SHW”) zones. During the Exploration Period, a total of 377 diamond drill holes were completed across the Seabee property, including 253 holes drilled from underground drives at Santoy totaling over 45,200 meters. Following the completion of a new underground drill chamber in the third quarter of 2022, the Company initiated drilling of the high grade zone mined in the first quarter of 2022. Results from these activities are expected in the coming months and will be used to guide mine planning, including the evaluation of additional mining in this high grade zone, during 2023.

The 2021 Seabee TRS highlighted a six-year Mineral Reserve life averaging approximately 96,000 ounces of annual gold production. The life of mine plan was based on 580,000 ounces of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves calculated using a cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t Au and a 1.8 meter minimum mining width. Exploration continues to focus on extending the Mineral Reserve life of the Santoy Mine Complex while simultaneously conducting more regional activity to evaluate the longer-term development potential of the multitude of exploration targets across the broader Seabee property.

Technical Procedural Information Sampling and Analytical Procedures

All drill samples in respect of the Seabee underground drilling program and some samples from the surface program were assayed by our onsite non-accredited assay laboratory, which is not independent from SSR Mining. Surface drilling samples not analyzed by our onsite assay laboratory were analyzed at SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories Inc. (“SRC”) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which also serves as the QAQC laboratory for our onsite lab. Duplicate check assays were conducted at site as well as at SRC, which is independent from SSR Mining. Mean results of the spot checks were consistent with those reported. Sampling interval was established by minimum or maximum sampling lengths and geological and/or structural criteria.

Seabee’s site lab typically prepares two hundred-gram samples that were pulverized until greater than 80 percent passed through a 150-mesh screen. Thirty-gram pulp samples were then analyzed for gold by fire assay with gravimetric finish (0.01 g/t gold detection limit). SRC prepares a minus-150 mesh pulp (95% passing) weighing 250 grams from a minus 10 mesh coarse crush reject. Fire assay with Atomic Absorption finish was completed on a 30-gram aliquot to produce gold analytical results with a 0.005 g/t gold detection limit. Fire assay with gravimetric finish was prepared on those samples with greater than 3 g/t gold.

External review of data and processes relating to Seabee exploration data has been completed by independent consultant Carl Edmunds in November 2022. There were no adverse material results detected and the QA/QC indicates the information collected is acceptable, and the database can be used for further studies.
