SSR
MINING announces POSITIVE EXPLORATION RESULTS At Copper Hill And Increases Ownership to 70%
Results Include 3.29% Cu Over 37.4 Meters and 3.03%
Cu Over 31.5 Meters
DENVER - SSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ/TSX:
SSRM; ASX: SSR) (‘’SSR Mining’’ or the “Company”) is pleased to announce positive results from an
additional 27 diamond drill holes at Copper Hill for the period from June to September 2021. Copper Hill is located in the Black Sea region
of northeast Turkey (Figure 1), and these results follow the initial 8 drill holes reported from the prospect in 2020. Recent intercepts1
of note from Copper Hill included:
| • | EKD-09: 2.02% Cu over 30.5 meters from 44.7 meters, |
| • | EKD-10: 3.03% Cu over 31.5 meters from 107.5 meters, |
| • | EKD-12: 2.37% Cu over 13.0 meters from 213.6 meters, |
| • | EKD-14: 1.60% Cu over 30.1 meters from 65.7 meters, |
| • | EKD-16: 3.29% Cu over 37.4 meters from 92.0 meters, |
| • | EKD-26: 1.02% Cu over 80.5 meters from 123.5 meters, |
| • | EKD-30: 1.39% Cu over 36.0 meters from 122.0 meters, |
| • | EKD-32: 1.25% Cu over 33.4 meters from surface. |
Concurrent with this exploration update, SSR Mining
is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to acquire an additional 20% ownership in Copper Hill from joint venture partner
Lidya Mining (the “Transaction”). Upon completion of the Transaction, SSR Mining will own 70% of the asset and serve as operator.
As consideration for the increased ownership in Copper Hill, SSR Mining will transfer 20% of its ownership stake in the Tunçpınar
prospect in east-central Turkey to Lidya Mining, reducing SSR Mining’s ownership to 30% while retaining a new 0.5% net smelter return
royalty on the property. Lidya Mining will serve as operator at Tunçpınar. There are no royalties existing on Copper Hill.
The ownership swap will provide both SSR Mining and Lidya Mining with the ability to efficiently advance both the Copper Hill and Tunçpınar
assets while retaining material economic exposure. The Transaction will be completed in early 2022, upon receipt of all customary regulatory
approvals and satisfaction of completion of all closing conditions.
Rod Antal, President and CEO said, “Copper
Hill is beginning to show real potential as a new development project, particularly given the near-surface and high-grade mineralization.
While still early stage, there is good potential to expand the footprint at Copper Hill as we step out exploration drilling. Our exploration
and development teams will accelerate the work on Copper Hill, commencing with metallurgical test work and an expanded drilling program.”
Drilling at Copper
Hill continues to intersect copper sulfide mineralization (chalcopyrite) with impressive grades. The oxide zone appears very narrow and
constrained close to surface.
Copper mineralization
in the intercepts is considered “clean”, having low levels of other metals or arsenic (<0.01% zinc and lead, with average
<60 ppm arsenic levels), which is atypical for skarn-type deposits and bodes well for future economic studies on the property. Drilling
and technical study activities are ongoing to determine the extent of mineralization, subject to drill permits and weather. The target
is open in all directions laterally and at depth and starts from the surface.

hole length and true thicknesses are not known at this stage.

Prospect Overview
Copper Hill sits within the package of exploration
leases known as Kazıkbeli. The Lidya Mining Exploration team discovered Copper Hill and undertook the preliminary exploration activities
on behalf of the joint venture with SSR Mining (the “Joint Venture”). Site activities are now being transitioned to the SSR
Mining Exploration and Project Development teams. The prospect is covered by porphyritic intermediate magmatic rocks, volcanic rock, and
volcano-sedimentary rock sequences. Skarn-type mineralization is composed of copper-iron occurrences developed within the volcano-sedimentary
rock sequences. The mineralization consists of coarse-grained chalcopyrite, specular hematite, and magnetite with exotic copper such as
malachite constrained to the very narrow oxide zone. The skarn exposed on the surface is coincident with anomalous alteration zones of
CuOx, FeOx, and silicification (Figure 2).
Exploration activities were initiated in 2009, consisting
of surface sampling (rock and soil sampling) and ground magnetics. To-date, 35 diamond drill holes, totaling 10,829 meters have been completed.
The northwest-southeast trending mineralized zone has been identified over a strike length of at least 450 meters with a width of 180
meters and a depth extent of at least 200 meters. The mineralization is open in all directions (Figure 3).
SSR Mining will conduct further drilling to continue
to define the overall size of the mineralization and test the higher-grade zones. In addition, encouraging high-grade surface results
at the north and east will be the initial focus of further work in the upcoming exploration program.

* Drill Holes are reported previously in the press
release entitled “ALACER GOLD REPORTS INITIAL DRILL RESULTS FROM THE COPPER HILL COPPER EXPLORATION PROSPECT” April 22, 2020,
Toronto: Alacer Gold Corp, which is available on www.sedar.com and on www.asx.com.au.
Drilling
The Joint Venture has drilled 35 diamond drill holes
at Copper Hill between July 2018 and September 2021, totaling 10,829m. The previously announced 8 holes (EKD01 - EKD08, totaling 3,181m)
defined the initial area of mineralization. The extent of the drilling pattern of those holes was constrained to areas previously permitted
for drilling.
The 27 holes in this release total 7,648m of drilling
and were completed between June and September 2021 (EKD09 - EKD35). All drill holes are vertical with the exception of EKD-15, EKD-21
and EKD-23 which were collared with a -60° dip and an azimuth of 120°. EKD-27 was abandoned at 79.2 meters due to a rubble zone.
EKD-27A was offset to the previous hole (EKD-27).
In 2022, the Copper Hill property will be tested with
an additional diamond drilling program in attempt to expand known mineralization through the targeting of new high-grade zones laterally
and at depth.

Sampling and Analytical Procedures
Drilling at Copper Hill commenced in 2018. Diamond
drill core is sampled as half core at 1m intervals. The samples were submitted to ALS Global laboratories in Izmir, Turkey for sample
preparation and analysis which is an ISO/IEC 7025:2005 certified and accredited laboratory. SGS laboratory, Ankara and ArgeTest laboratory,
Ankara are being used to umpire check sample analysis. Copper was analyzed by four acid digestion and ICP-AES finish. For copper assays
greater than or equal to 10%, aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish is used. SSR Mining's drill and geochemical samples were collected
in accordance with accepted industry standards. SSR Mining conducts routine QA/QC analysis on all assay results, including the systematic
utilization of certified reference materials, blanks, field duplicates and umpire laboratory check assays. External review of data and
processes relating to the prospect have been completed by independent Consultant Dr. Erdem Yetkin, P.Geo. in November 2021. 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.

Significant intervals reported at a nominal 0.2%
copper cut-off and with a maximum 5 meters contiguous dilution are given in Table 1. All thicknesses are down hole length and true thicknesses
are not known at this stage.
* Drill Holes are reported previously in the press
release entitled ‘’Alacer Gold Reports Initial Drill Results from The Copper Hill Copper Exploration Prospect’’,
filed on April 22, 2020, which is available on www.sedar.com and on www.asx.com.au.
Supporting
Drilling Information to SSR Mining Announcement
This
document provides supporting drill collar locations and composite assay results for the Copper Hill drilling program referenced in the
announcement “SSR MINING ANNOUNCES POSITIVE EXPLORATION RESULTS AT COPPER HILL AND INCREASES OWNERSHIP POSITION TO 70%” dated
November 29, 2021.
Drill
collar locations are surveyed in UTM Zone 37N, ED50 grid using differential GPS in units of meters. All drilling was diamond core drilling
with HQ and PQ core sizes. HQ is 63.5mm and PQ is 85 mm in diameter.
