As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Defendants materially overstated SSR Mining’s commitment to safety and the efficacy of its safety measures; (2) SSR Mining engaged in unsafe mining practices which were reasonably likely to result in a mining disaster; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
On February 13, 2024, before the market opened, SSR Mining filed a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC, which stated there was a “suspension of operations at the Çöpler mine as a result of a large slip on the heap leach pad. This event occurred in the morning of February 13, 2024 at approximately 6:30 am EST, and all operations at Çöpler have been suspended as a result.”
Also on February 13, 2024, during market hours, Reuters published an article entitled “SSR Mining halts gold production in Turkey after landslide, shares tank”. This article stated, in pertinent part, that SSR Mining had suspended production “at a mine in eastern Turkey after a landslide, which left at least nine miners missing[.]”
On this news, SSR Mining’s stock fell $5.22 per share, or 53.7%, to close at $4.50 per share on February 13, 2024.
