Press Release

Toronto, Ontario–( – April 30, 2026) – Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) (“Seabridge” or the “Company”) announced today that the Province of British Columbia has designated Seabridge’s KSM Project as a provincial priority project. The designation is designed to advance strategic, job-creating developments across British Columbia. Inclusion on the priority project list provides KSM with dedicated provincial permitting coordination and support which is expected to streamline and expedite permitting timelines for the Project.

The KSM Project is one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper and gold projects, hosting 7.3 billion pounds of copper and 47.3 million ounces of gold in proven and probable reserves (2.29 billion tonnes grading 0.64 grams per tonne gold and .14% copper), positioning it as a significant long-term source of critical minerals essential for electrification and the global energy transition. The Province’s decision reflects KSM’s scale, long-term economic potential, and alignment with the objectives of the Look West strategy, which focuses on delivering major projects, strengthening economic security, and supporting the responsible development of British Columbia’s natural resources.

Seabridge Chair and CEO Rudi Fronk commented: “Recognition of KSM as a provincial priority project reflects the quality of the work completed to date and the value KSM represents for British Columbia and Canada. Dedicated permitting support will ensure that the significant effort invested by our team, our First Nation partners, local communities and government agencies evolves into a responsible and rewarding development.”

Mr. Fronk added: “We will continue to work closely with local communities and Indigenous groups that have long supported KSM, including Nisga’a Lisims Government, Tahltan Central Government, and Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs Office. We remain committed to respectful, transparent engagement with them as the project advances.”
