has the capacity to participate in the 3 Aces project in a meaningful way. Nobody knows Kaska territory
like the Kaska, and when it comes to protecting Kaska Aboriginal rights for current and future
generations, our input into the project will be critical. Despite the tremendous pressure from other
developers, we look forward to collaborating with the Seabridge team by sharing our experiences,
knowledge and advice to improve the 3 Aces Project”
Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk stated : “As a responsible exploration company, we are
committed to building a meaningful and positive working relationship with our Indigenous partners.
