About SSR Mining
SSR Mining digs gold and silver out of the ground in Nevada, Saskatchewan, and Argentina. They sold their troubled Turkish mine for 1.5 billion dollars in cash, turning a long running headache into a pile of money. What is left is a focused North American miner worth about 5.5 billion dollars and now the third largest gold producer in the United States.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Fortress Balance Sheet
Once the Turkish mine money lands, SSR will hold roughly 2 billion dollars in cash against only 395 million dollars of debt. That is huge firepower for a company worth 5.5 billion. They have already approved a 300 million dollar buyback to hand cash back to shareholders.
- Revenue Surge
Revenue climbed about 64 percent over the past year as gold prices soared and new mines came online. A big driver is Cripple Creek, bought from Newmont for just 100 million dollars up front, which has already produced more than 450 million dollars in revenue with a 12 year mine life still ahead.
- Costly Ounces
SSR spends roughly 2,200 dollars to pull each ounce of gold out of the ground, well above the cheapest miners. With gold sitting near record highs that gap does not matter much. If gold slides, SSR feels the pain before its lower cost rivals do.
- Thin Profits
Even in a record gold market, only about 12 cents of every revenue dollar reaches the bottom line. Mining is expensive, and costs like fuel, labor, and equipment keep climbing. That leaves less cushion than the booming revenue numbers suggest.
