On February 13, 2024, a landslide occurred at the Company's Copler gold mine in eastern Turkey that resulted in at least eight workers being trapped. Search and rescue operations to locate the nine missing workers at the mine are still continuing. The Copler mine is the Company's second-largest gold producing mine. In 2020, the same mine was shut down following a cyanide leak into the Euphrates, roughly 3 kilometers (1.86 miles) away. It reopened two years later after the Company was fined and a cleanup operation completed.

On February 18, 2024, the operations of the Company's Copler gold mine in Turkey was suspended until further notice after Turkey revoked its environmental permit. On this day, Turkey also detained the director of the Company managing the gold mine.

Since the incident, the Turkish Ministry of the Environment has been regularly monitoring the surface water, groundwater, soil, and air quality in the region.

On February 19, 2024, Bloomberg News reported that Turkey plans to fine SSR's local unit over the mine spill.

On this news, the stock price dropped 53.7% from $9.72/share on February 12th to close at $4.50/share on February 13th.
