What Happened

• SSR Mining Inc. (SSRM) announced on May 18, 2026 (8-K filed) that it has sold its 20% equity interest in the Hod Maden project to Lidya Mines in exchange for a 4.0% net smelter return (NSR) royalty. The company furnished a news release as Exhibit 99.1 with the filing.

Key Details

• Consideration: 4.0% net smelter return (NSR) royalty in lieu of the equity interest.

Why It Matters

• The company has converted an ownership stake in the Hod Maden asset into a royalty stream, changing SSRM’s exposure from equity ownership to a production-linked royalty.
• The 4.0% NSR may provide ongoing revenue if Hod Maden produces minerals, while reducing direct ownership responsibilities or capital exposure tied to the project.
• The 8-K does not disclose cash proceeds, valuation or the expected financial impact on SSRM’s results—investors should watch for further disclosures or management commentary for details on how this affects future revenue and reserves.
