Material Change Report

Item 1	Name and Address of Company Silver Standard Resources Inc. #1180 - 999 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC  V6C 2W2
Item 2	Date of Material Change August 25, 2008
Item 3	News Release The news release dated August 25, 2008 was disseminated through Marketwire’s Canadian and US Timely Disclosure and UK Media and Analyst networks.
Item 4	Summary of Material Change Silver Standard Resources Inc. announced a further increase in silver and base metal resources at the Pitarrilla project in Durango State, Mexico.  In July 2008, Silver Standard announced a 14% increase in total silver resources for Pitarrilla estimated by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”) of Brampton, Ontario.  A review of the P&E resource model as part of the reserve estimation for the pre-feasibility study currently underway for Pitarrilla determined that the silver-equivalent cutoff may have understated silver and base metal resources.  As a consequence, P&E has undertaken an internal review of their silver-equivalent cutoff, resource model and associated resource estimate and determined that total silver resources at Pitarrilla have increased by a further 9.5%.
