SEABRIDGE GOLD
Forward Looking Statements
All reserve and resource estimates reported by the Company 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 Company’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 Company’s projects; uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests and the estimation of gold reserves and resources; risk
- f accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of
environmental issues at the Company’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 Company’s Annual Information Form filed with SEDAR in Canada (available at www.sedar.com) for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in the Company’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 Company’s management or its independent professional consultants on the date the statements are made.

The Case for Seabridge
- KSM: 38.8M oz gold plus 10.2B lbs copper (2.2B tonnes at 0.55 gpt
Au and 0.21% Cu)
- Courageous Lake: 6.5M oz gold (91M tonnes at 2.2 gpt Au)
Proven and Probable Reserves
- 59.4M shares outstanding
Low Share Dilution
- $15 Enterprise Value per oz of gold reserves
Low Valuation
- All reserves are located in Canada
- KSM is shovel ready; Environmental Assessment completed
Low Political Risk
- Recent resource additions and new discoveries could add significant
higher grade reserves to improve project economics Exploration Upside

Note: Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

- In June 2016 Seabridge issued 695,000 shares to acquire
100% of SnipGold to obtain 100% of very large Iskut Project
- Iskut Project reports 2.2 million ounces of NI 43-101
measured and indicated gold resources at the Bronson Slope prospect
- Iskut historically produced high-grade gold and hosts many
unexplored targets for high-grade material
- Iskut is located 30 kilometers from KSM, offering optimal
synergies for Seabridge knowledge and infrastructure.

- Snowstorm sits on the intersection of three major Nevada gold
belts; Getchell, Carlin and the Northern Nevada Rift Zone
- Geologic, geochem and geophysical data documents
hydrothermal alteration zones and structural settings consistent with large Nevada gold deposits
- Snowstorm is contiguous and on strike with several large

Seabridge Acquires Snowstorm Project June 2017
"We chose Seabridge as the best home for the Snowstorm project because they share our vision of the project’s geologic potential and their exploration team has done an outstanding job of growing the resources and reserves on their existing projects. Moreover, Seabridge’s projects, particularly KSM, will provide us with significant leverage to a higher gold price”

- From 1990 to 1999, the industry on average found 1.4
- unces of gold reserves and resources for every ounce
produced
- For 2000 to 2009, only 0.7 ounces of gold reserves and
resources were found for every ounce produced
- For 2010 to 2016, the industry estimates that at best 0.3
- unces of gold may have been found per ounce produced
- The majors need new deposits with scale and capital
efficiency that can be permitted in safe jurisdictions…KSM checks all the boxes
