Foolish take
When a stock triples in a year, many investors assume the opportunity has passed. Hillsdale Investment Management’s decision to add more than $40 million to its SSR Mining stake suggests the opposite — that the company’s fundamentals are strengthening and the market may still be behind the curve. For a firm with hundreds of holdings, increasing exposure at this scale points to a business entering a more attractive phase of its story.
SSR Mining has become a more capable operator than the market often gives it credit for. Its portfolio spans long-life gold and base-metal mines in the United States, Türkiye, Canada, and Argentina. The company's broad reach gives the company both scale and valuable jurisdictional balance. More importantly, SSR’s portfolio offers meaningful operating leverage. Higher gold output, improved by-product contributions, and a set of development projects with clear economic potential give the company multiple pathways to create value as unit costs normalize and metal prices strengthen. Where other major mining players like Newmont and Barrick must move entire continents to shift their cost curves, SSR can drive material cash-flow gains through focused improvements across a tighter set of assets. That structural difference is a key reason SSR’s operating leverage stands out within the sector.
For investors, the more important question for investors is how effectively SSR translates its asset base into sustained free cash flow. The company is entering a period where incremental gains in volume and cost discipline can materially expand margins. If SSR continues to execute, this year’s rally may prove to be less of an endpoint and more of a starting line for a business that still has room to grow into its potential.
