| (b) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As of the end of Silver Standard Resources Inc.’s (“Silver Standard”) fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, an evaluation of the effectiveness of Silver Standard’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out by Silver Standard’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  Based upon that evaluation, Silver Standard’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of that fiscal year, Silver Standard’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Silver Standard in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to Silver Standard’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. |
