SEABRIDGE GOLD REPORTS APPLICATION FOR RESCISSION OF KSM LICENCE OF OCCUPATION AND MINES ACT PERMIT IS WITHOUT MERIT

Tudor Gold Corp. is requesting that a certain licence of occupation and a permit held by Seabridge's wholly owned subsidiary, KSM Mining ULC (KSMCo), be cancelled. The rights conveyed by this licence and the relevant activities authorized by this permit were initially conveyed and authorized in September, 2014, and include rights and authorizations to engage in certain activities on land to which Tudor only acquired mineral rights in 2016. Tudor is claiming that, as a matter of law, the government did not have the power to issue this licence and permit. Tudor also argues that the licence and permit destroy the value of its claims. Seabridge is of the view that Tudor's arguments are frivolous and without merit.

Mines Act permit M-245 authorizes various activities, including activities on claims held by Tudor along the route of the tunnels connecting the east and west sides of the KSM project. The licence provides KSMCo the right to occupy the area in which it intends to construct the MTT for the purpose of constructing the MTT. Once the MTT is constructed, the licence will be converted into a statutory right of way for the entire length of the MTT, including the 12.5 kilometres of the MTT that pass through mineral claims owned by Tudor.

Commenting on the application by Tudor, Seabridge's chief executive officer Rudi Fronk stated: "The argument that the B.C. government does not have the power to grant these authorizations is absurd. These types of authorizations are commonly used by the B.C. government to manage activities that take place on the government-owned land base. The licence and authorization of the activities authorized by permit M-245 to which Tudor objects have been in place for almost a decade and were granted after a thorough regulatory process that included participation by first nations as well as Tudor's joint venture partners, American Creek Resources Ltd. and Teuton Resources Corp., who were the owners of the claims at the time."

Seabridge considers Tudor's submission particularly unjustifiable given that the authorized activities and rights held by KSMCo that Tudor is claiming amount to the destruction of its property rights were in place and publicly known at the time Tudor acquired its interest in the Treaty Creek property in June, 2016.

Accordingly, Seabridge will actively pursue the dismissal of Tudor's application.

Seabridge holds a 100-per-cent interest in several North American gold projects. Seabridge's assets include the KSM and Iskut projects located in the Golden Triangle in northwest British Columbia, Canada; the Courageous Lake project located in Canada's Northwest Territories; the Snowstorm project in the Getchell gold belt of northern Nevada; and the 3 Aces project set in Yukon.
