Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 13, 2017, Stillwater Mining Company (the “Company”) announced that it had posted a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report for the Mining Operations at Stillwater Mining Company – Stillwater Mine and East Boulder Mine as of 31 December 2016 (the “Report”) to the Company’s website at www.stillwatermining.com.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01, including the Report, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by reference to such filing.

Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Resource Estimates: The Company’s technical disclosure uses terms such as “inferred mineral resources” which are defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. The disclosure standards in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Industry Guide 7 normally do not recognize information concerning these terms or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth in the Report may not be comparable with information presented by companies using only U.S. standards in their public disclosure.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
