Drilling Begins at Seabridge Gold’s Iskut Project
Program targeting potential copper-gold porphyry systems
Toronto, Canada...Seabridge Gold (TSX:SEA) (NYSE:SA) reports today that this year's drill
program at our 100%-owned Iskut Project has commenced testing for source copper-
gold porphyries for the intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineral systems
recognized in our 2023 program. The Iskut Project is located in the Golden Triangle of
northwest B.C. about 30 kilometers by air from our KSM gold-copper district.
The search for source intrusions will employ three helicopter -portable drill rigs to
complete approximately 15,000 meters of core drilling this year at a budgeted cost of
$12 million.
Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk commented: “Last year’s expansion of the
Bronson Slope mineral resource and the new discoveries at Snip North have given us
clear direction on where to focus our efforts. These intrusive targets appear to be
embedded in a district-scale structural trend that is similar in strike and width to our
nearby KSM deposits. This year's work is dedicated to realizing the porphyry potential
we had in mind when we acquired the Iskut project."
Regional geophysical surveys and surface geology have confirmed the district scale
structural corridor that connects the Quartz Rise, Bronson Slope and Snip North
targets. Substantial high-level expressions of a Cu -Au porphyry system fall along this
regional trend. These multiple targets have only recently seen deep drilling and 2024
is planned to better evaluate their deeper porphyry potential.
Seabridge holds a 100% interest in several North American gold projects. Seabridge's
principal assets, the KSM project, and its Iskut project are located in British Columbia,
Canada’s “Golden Triangle”, the Courageous Lake project is in Canada's Northwest
Territories, the Snowstorm project in the Getchell Gold Belt of Northern Nevada and
the 3 Aces project set in the Yukon Territory. For a full breakdown of Seabridge's

future events or future performance and reflect current estimates, predictions, interpretations,
expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with
respect to: (i) the potential for identifying the source copper -gold porphyries related to the mineral
systems encountered at the Iskut Project to date; (ii) the drilling that is planned to be completed in 2024
and its cost ; and (iii) the appearance of the intrusive targets being embedded within a district -scale
structural trend that is similar in strike and width to our nearby KSM deposits.

those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from Seabridge's plans or expectations include the risk that: (i) the geologic formations at the Iskut Project
do not conform to the interpretations of data and the geologic models that are the fo undations for such
forward-looking statements; (ii) the identified structural trend not being indicative of the presence of
multiple porphyry deposits; and (iii) the availability of necessary equipment, supplies and personnel for
the work programs, and other risks outlined in statements made by Seabridge from time to time in the
