Precious metals miner SSR Mining has delivered a strong production and financial performance in the March quarter, and is targeting record production for 2019, president and CEO Paul Benson said on Thursday. Benson indicated in a statement announcing the first-quarter results that the company achieved near-record consolidated production of more than 112 000 gold-equivalent ounces at a lower cash cost of $712/oz of gold, driven by solid performance at all three of its operations in the Americas.
