Business Wire
SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM; ASX: SSR) (“SSR Mining” or
the “Company”) provides an update on ongoing rescue efforts at the
Ç�pler mine in Türkiye.
Search and rescue efforts to locate nine missing workers
following the February 13, 2024 incident at the �pler mine
continue. Our thoughts continue to be with the families of the
missing workers and the �pler community during this incredibly
difficult time. We will continue to support the authorities on the
ground in Türkiye in their search and rescue efforts. A new waiting
and information point has been established within the mine area for
the families of the missing workers.
We acknowledge that several of our team members are facing
charges in relation to the recent incident, and we are ensuring
they receive the necessary support while respecting the legal
process.
SSR Mining has also been notified that the �pler environmental
permit has been revoked, and the operation will remain suspended
until further notice. Planning for near-term remediation efforts
has begun at the direction of Ministry Officials, with an initial
focus on removing heap leach material from the Sabirli valley and
relocating it to a permanent storage location. SSR Mining is also
deploying third party contractor resources to support the recovery
and remediation efforts.
Since the February 13 incident, the Turkish Ministry of the
Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change has been regularly
monitoring the surface water, groundwater, soil, and air quality in
the region. To date, the Ministry has reported that all results
have been negative with respect to potential contamination in the
locations being monitored.
