( NASDAQ / TSX : SSRM , ASX : SSR ) ( " SSR Mining " or " the Company " ) reports consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30 , 2021. In addition , the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of US $ 0.05 per common share , payable on September 13 , 2021 to holders of record at the close of business on August 16 , 2021. This dividend qualifies as an ' eligible dividend ' for Canadian tax purposes . Rod Antal , President and CEO said , " The second quarter of 2021 continued the strong operational and financial track record that built the reputation of SSR Mining . The Company delivered quarterly production of 199,673 gold equivalent ounces and first half production of 395,750 gold equivalent ounces , including record production from Seabee and Puna , record tonnes mined at Marigold and the continued outperformance of our flagship operation at Çöpler . In addition to the solid production , SSR Mining delivered quarterly AISC of $ 961 per gold equivalent ounce . The strong margins further demonstrated our peer leading free cash flow yield as the Company generated $ 100 million of free cash flow in the quarter . That strong free cash flow supports our robust capital returns program , as we aggressively followed through on the share buyback program we announced in April , cumulatively returning approximately $ 125 million dollars overall to shareholders year - to - date . We continue to see opportunity for our shares to re - rate to a premium valuation that properly reflects our delivery of consistent operating performance , strong free cash flow , low capital intensity organic growth profile and sizeable capital returns . We remain at the top of our peer group with respect to balance sheet strength , and in addition to the year - to - date capital returns we are well positioned to fund our large portfolio of organic growth opportunities across Turkey , the US and Canada . At Çöpler , the flotation plant construction was substantially completed during the second quarter and commissioning remains on track for Q3 . A steady flow of updates are expected in the second half of the year detailing positive progress at development and exploration targets across Çöpler , Marigold and Seabee . "
