For example, the CIM definition states that </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">&#8216;economic extraction could reasonably be </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;">justified</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">&#8221;</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">, whereas our accounting policy relies upon the concept of a </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:underline;">probable</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">&#32;benefit to the Company, which may be different. Our consideration of determining whether there is a probable benefit to us also considers other factors in the context of our organization, such as our ability to fund, external financing requirements, social license, returns on investment etc. that would be critical for us to make a development decision.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">Our reclassification of assets from Exploration and Evaluation assets (IFRS 6) to mineral property assets (IAS 16) is not directly based upon probable benefit (as that has already been established through our IFRS 6 accounting policy), but rather when we consider a project to be technically feasible and commercially viable in accordance with IFRS 6. We believe that in certain circumstances, the presence of a Mineral Reserve alone is not sufficient to demonstrate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of a project to the Company. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">This circumstance is evidenced by our Pitarrilla project, in Durango State, Mexico, which had a Mineral Reserve estimate defined in a feasibility study completed in December 2012. At the time the Pitarrilla Feasibility study was completed in 2012, we had reasonable expectations of obtaining all approvals for the project, so thereafter we capitalized expenditures in accordance with our accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets under IFRS 6. However, other factors existed that led us to conclude that we could not establish commercial viability within the context of our accounting policy. The project required capital expenditures beyond our capability to fund. Advancing the project required a partner and/or significant financing and our confidence in the outcome of those processes was sufficiently uncertain to preclude concluding </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;"><hr></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:96.15384615384616%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:34%;"></td><td style="width:33%;"></td><td style="width:33%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;color:#233949;font-weight:bold;">SSR Mining Inc.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:right;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;color:#233949;">PAGE </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;">2</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;">/3</font></div></td></tr></table></div></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">that it was commercially viable.

A Mineral Reserve was established as mineral extraction could be justified, based upon our QPs assessment of all aspects of the project including the receipt of appropriate authorizations. However, it was our opinion that to be able to conclude under our accounting policy that there is a probable future benefit to the Company, surface use agreements with two local communities needed to be further advanced as they were highly complex and challenging. As a result, no costs associated with this project have been capitalized, either under IFRS 6 or IAS 16.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">If you have any further questions or additional comments concerning the foregoing, please contact me at (604) 689-3846. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">Sincerely,</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Signed "Greg Martin"</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">Greg Martin</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;">Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer</font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;"><hr></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:96.15384615384616%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:34%;"></td><td style="width:33%;"></td><td style="width:33%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;color:#233949;font-weight:bold;">SSR Mining Inc.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:right;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;color:#233949;">PAGE </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;">3</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight:bold;">/3</font></div></td></tr></table></div></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div>	</body>
