Read MoreHide Full Article
SSR Mining Inc. (SSRM - Free Report) announced that its Seabee mine operations will resume in the second half of October, following a temporary suspension on Aug. 21, 2024.
SSR Mining’s Restart and Recovery Efforts
Following the neighboring forest fire in August, the company's employees were evacuated from the premises. The fire impacted remote equipment such as power poles, pipes and exploration equipment. The process plant and the Santoy mine were not materially affected by the incident.
The fire risk has been greatly reduced with the help of the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, supported by a small number of employees who remained on site. The evacuated employees have been cleared to return to the site and start repairing the damaged products.

In the quarter ended on June 30, 2024, the Seabee mine produced 16,709 ounces of gold, up 1.7% year over year. In the second quarter of 2024, Seabee reported a cost of sales of $1,150 per payable ounce and an all-in-sustaining cost of $1,626 per payable ounce.

The company will update Seabee's 2024 production and cost guidance in its third-quarter financial results.
