Transforming Financial Planning at SSR Mining: A OneStream Success Story

SSR Mining Inc. is a $1.2 billion diversified precious metals mining company specializing in gold and silver mining. Operating across the United States, Canada, and Argentina, SSR Mining manages a dynamic portfolio of open-pit and underground projects spanning exploration, development, and production.

Built on a foundation of trust, accountability, and credibility, the company is focused on innovation and strong operational performance. To support that mission, SSR Mining needed a more modern approach to financial planning and reporting that could replace legacy spreadsheet processes and improve coordination across corporate and mine-site teams.

MindStream Analytics partnered with SSR Mining to deliver that transformation through OneStream, creating a more connected, driver-based FP&A environment with stronger automation, usability, and long-term scalability.

The Challenge:

Before implementing OneStream, SSR Mining faced several roadblocks in its financial planning and reporting processes. Spreadsheet-based budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting created inefficiencies and inconsistencies that made planning harder to standardize across the business.

The organization also needed a better way to reduce errors, simplify data reconciliation, and establish a unified planning framework capable of supporting more accurate and disciplined forecasting over time.

Reliance on spreadsheet-based budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting created inefficiencies and inconsistencies.

Financial models were vulnerable to formula errors and unauthorized changes, increasing operational risk.

Aggregating and reconciling data was cumbersome, which led to inaccuracies and inconsistent reporting outcomes.

The company lacked a unified, driver-based forecasting framework to support more cohesive and precise planning.

Coordination between corporate headquarters and mine sites needed stronger structure and better process alignment.

The Solution

MindStream Analytics partnered with SSR Mining to revolutionize its FP&A capabilities using OneStream. The implementation included driver-based Budget and Forecast processes, Projects Planning, and Capital Planning in both CAD and USD, helping strengthen financial accuracy across a complex operating environment.

The solution also improved collaboration between corporate headquarters and mine sites through more standardized planning processes. To make the system easier to use, MindStream designed a streamlined landing page that guided users through workflows and dashboards in a more intuitive way.

Automated data flow became a central benefit of the solution. Driver-based calculations were configured to update the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and AISC report, helping connect planning inputs directly to critical financial outputs.

Key solution components included:

Implemented comprehensive driver-based planning for Budget, Forecast, Projects Planning, and Capital Planning in both CAD and USD.

Standardized planning processes to strengthen collaboration between corporate headquarters and mine sites.

Designed an intuitive landing page to guide users more methodically through workflows and dashboards.

Automated data flows so calculations updated key financial statements and the AISC report more seamlessly.
