(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)



1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS

SSR Mining Inc. ("we", "us", "our" or "SSR Mining") is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and our shares are publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and the NASDAQ Global Market in the United States. Together with our subsidiaries, we (the “Group”) are principally engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal resource properties located in the Americas. We have three producing mines and a portfolio of precious metal dominant projects located throughout the Americas. SSR Mining Inc. is the ultimate parent of the Group.

Our address is Suite 800, 1055 Dunsmuir Street, PO Box 49088, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1G4.

Our focus is on safe, profitable gold and silver production from our Marigold mine in Nevada, U.S., Seabee Gold Operation in Saskatchewan, Canada and our 75% owned Puna Operations in Jujuy, Argentina, and to advance, as market and project conditions permit, our other principal development projects towards development and commercial production.


2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are set out below.

a)
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. The comparative information has also been prepared on this basis.

These statements were authorized for issue by our Board of Directors on May 10, 2018.

b)
Change in accounting policies
We have adopted the requirements of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) as of January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 covers principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. We elected to apply IFRS 15 using a modified retrospective approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially adopting IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 Revenue ("IAS18"). The details of accounting policy changes and the quantitative impact of these changes are described below.

Gold doré and bullion sales

IFRS 15 requires that revenue from contracts with customers be recognized upon the transfer of control over goods or services to the customer. The recognition of revenue upon transfer of control to the customer is consistent with our revenue recognition policy as set out in Note 2(f) to our 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements, as the condition is satisfied on gold doré and bullion sales when title transfers to the customer. Accordingly, upon adoption, this requirement under IFRS 15 resulted in no impact to our financial statements, as the timing of revenue recognition on our gold bullion sales is unchanged.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Concentrate sales

We performed an assessment of our existing concentrate sales agreements and determined that there is no change in the timing of revenue recognition under IFRS 15. The point of transfer of risks and rewards and transfer of control for concentrate sales occur at the same time. IFRS 15 identifies that the shipping component associated with certain concentrate sales may be a separate performance obligation, which would require a portion of the revenue to be deferred and recognized as the obligation is fulfilled. We have determined that the deferred revenue would be insignificant and thus, have not accounted for the shipping component as a separate performance obligation.

IFRS 15 does not consider changes in the fair value of the concentrate receivable measured at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) as revenue from contracts with customers. Accordingly, we have separately presented the changes as other revenue in Note 5.

c)
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of assumptions, judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These assumptions, judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the financial statements. The significant judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2(u) to our 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) 
We entered into a fiscal stability agreement with the Federal Government of Argentina in 1998 for production from the Puna Operations. In December 2007, the National Customs Authority of Argentina (Dirección Nacional de Aduanas) ("Customs") levied an export duty of approximately 10% from concentrate for projects with fiscal stability agreements pre-dating 2002 and Customs had asserted that the Puna Operations was subject to this duty. We had previously challenged the legality of the export duty applied to silver concentrate.

On March 31, 2017, we entered into the tax moratorium system in Argentina to resolve the export duty dispute. Under the conditions of the moratorium, which converted the export duty liability to Argentine pesos ("ARS"), we agreed to pay ARS 1,057,444,000 ($68,621,000 undiscounted) with a 5% down payment initially and the balance in installments over 60 months. Outstanding ARS amounts are subject to interest at a minimum rate of 1.5% per month.

With our entry into the tax moratorium for resolution of our export duty dispute, we are no longer challenging the legality of the application of the export duty other than with respect to our right for reimbursement of the $6,646,000 of export duty that we paid.
