TORONTO, April 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX:SEA) (NYSE:SA) (the
"Company") announced today that it has closed its previously announced bought deal flow -through
financing (the “Flow-Through Share Offering ”), including the full amount of the over -allotment option, for
aggregate gross proceeds of $22,000,000. A total of 1,100,000 flow -through common shares of the
Company (the "Flow -Through Shares"), including those pursuant to the exercise of the over -allotment
option, were issued and sold at a price of $20.00 per Flow -Through Share (a 27.7% premium to the closing
price on the TSX the day the Flow -Through Share Offering was announced). The Flow -Through Share
Offering was completed through a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Cantor
Fitzgerald Canada Corporation and including Paradigm Capital Inc. Both Canaccord Genuity Corp. and
Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation acted as joint -bookrunners for the Flow -Through Share Offering.
All monetary references are in Canadian dollars.
The gross proceeds from the Flow -Through Share Offering will be used to fund the 2017 exploration
program at the Company's KSM and Iskut Projects in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk noted that “This year ’s exploration program includes drilling
some of the most exciting targets in our history. We also aim to continue to improve the prospective
economics of our KSM Project. Increasing gold ownership per share remains an important objective for
Seabridge. As in previous years, we are confident that this year ’s programs should add more than sufficient
resource ounces of gold to offset the share issuances announced today."
The Offering was made by way of private placement in Canada. The Flow -Through Shares issued under
this Flow-Through Share Offering are subject to a four -month hold period expiring on August 28, 2017.

Flow-Through Shares, nor shall there be any sale of Flow -Through Shares in any province, state or
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of such province, state or jurisdiction.
Seabridge holds a 100% interest in several North American gold resource projects. The Company's
