ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
Beginning January 1, 2022, SSR Mining Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“SSR Mining”), began complying with U.S. domestic issuer requirements and adopted U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). SSR Mining previously was a foreign private issuer and prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. SSR Mining remains a public reporting company in Canada and will continue to be subject to, among other things, Canada’s continuous disclosure requirements, including Canada’s National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”). Pursuant to the requirements of NI 51-102, SSR Mining filed, with Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR, interim consolidated financial statements of SSR Mining for the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2021 that were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the “U.S. GAAP Financial Statements”), together with a management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) for each quarter.
The U.S. GAAP Financial Statements and MD&A are being filed voluntarily by SSR Mining in this Current Report on Form 8-K. SSR Mining had previously filed, on a Form 6-K, interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (the “IFRS Financial Statements”) and the related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (the “IFRS MD&A”) following the completion of each of the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2021 (each such date, a “Quarterly Filing Date”). The U.S. GAAP Financial Statements and the MD&A filed in this Current Report on Form 8-K have been prepared as of the same Quarterly Filing date of the comparable IFRS Financial Statements and IFRS MD&A and, unless otherwise specifically indicated, the U.S. GAAP Financial Statements and MD&A have not been updated to reflect events occurring after the respective Quarterly Filing Date.
A copy of the U.S. GAAP Financial Statements and MD&A for each of the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2021 are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 to 99.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 to 99.6, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act..
