Seabridge Gold Files 2016 Year End Audited Financial

Statements and MD&A

TORONTO, March 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seabridge Gold announced today that it has filed its

Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and its Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year

ended December 31, 2016 on SEDAR ( www.sedar.com). To review these documents on the Company

website, please see http://www.seabridgegold.net/sharefinrep.php .

The Company’s principal assets are the 100% owned KSM property located near Stewart, British Columbia,

Canada and the 100% owned Courageous Lake gold project located in Canada ’s Northwest Territories.

For a breakdown of Seabridge ’s mineral resources by project and resource category please visit the

Company’s website at http://www.seabridgegold.net/resources.php .

All resource estimates reported by the Corporation were calculated in accordance with the

Canadian National Instrument 43 -101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy

Classification system. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not

have demonstrated economic viability.

Statements relating to the estimated or expected future production and operating results and

costs and financial condition of Seabridge, planned work at the Corporation ’s projects and the

expected results of such work are forward -looking statements within the meaning of the United

States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward -looking statements are

statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by words

such as the following: expects, plans, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, projects,

assumes, potential and similar expressions. Forward -looking statements also include reference

to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or should occur. Information concerning

exploration results and mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to be

forward -looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present

when and if a project is actually developed. These forward -looking statements are necessarily

based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable at the

time they are made, are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could

cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward -looking

statements, including, without limitation: uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to

fund the planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work

resulting from logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility that results of work will not

fulfill projections/expectations and realize the perceived potential of the Corporation ’s projects;

uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests and the estimation

of gold reserves and resources; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes

or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of environmental issues at the

Corporation ’s projects; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in work

programs; the need to obtain permits and comply with environmental laws and regulations and

other government requirements; fluctuations in the price of gold and other risks and

uncertainties, including those described in the Corporation ’s December 31, 2016 Annual

Information Form filed with SEDAR in Canada (available at www.sedar.com) and the

Corporation ’s Annual Report Form 40 -F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

on EDGAR (available at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml). Forward -looking statements are based on

the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Corporation ’s management or its independent

professional consultants on the date the statements are made.
