TORONTO, March 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seabridge Gold Inc (TSX:SEA)(NYSE:SA) announced today that preparatory work has started on the site of a permanent year-round camp at its 100%-owned KSM Project to support ongoing exploration and to facilitate prompt commencement of the much larger work programs required to advance the development of the project once a joint venture partner is obtained.
Small scale logging began this week to prepare the site. Approximately nine hectares of timber in the Mitchell Valley will be cleared to prepare for the future installation of the camp, laydown area, helipad and water treatment plant. The winter logging program includes hand-felling, bucking, and stacking of timber and brush. This work will be conducted under previously acquired permits to support ongoing exploration activities at the Project site. The cutting contract was awarded to a local company based in Terrace, B.C.
Seabridge Gold holds a 100% interest in several North American gold resource projects. The Company’s principal assets are the KSM and Iskut properties located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada and the Courageous Lake gold project located in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
