Event Summary

Seabridge Gold announced that the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals of Canada — British Columbia has delayed the decision to issue permit amendments for the construction and operation of its Mitchell Treaty Tunnels (MTT). This delay stems from a legal action initiated by Tudor Gold, which challenges whether the KSM Project's conditional mineral reserve (CMR) applies to Tudor Gold's pre-existing mineral claims. Rudi Fronk, Chair and CEO of Seabridge Gold, expressed confidence in the CMR's legal standing and the project's importance to Canada — British Columbia, stating that Seabridge Gold is open to an amicable solution once Tudor Gold has a defined project plan.
