Toronto, January 25, 2019 - Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) (the "Company") announced today that it has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with the securities commissions in each of the Provinces of Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia and in the Yukon and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk commented that: "Following the fundraising completed in late 2018, we do not currently have any plans to arrange additional funding. The purpose of this shelf prospectus is to give us greater flexibility should additional funding be required in the future. The dollar limit noted in the filing does not reflect a considered estimate of future financing requirements, which will depend upon future developments and opportunities which are unknowable at this time."
The shelf prospectus filings, when final, will allow the Company to make offerings of common shares up to an aggregate total of Cdn$100 million during the 25-month period that the final short form base shelf prospectus remains effective. Common shares may be offered in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in one or more shelf prospectus supplement(s) and, subject to applicable regulations, may include at-the-market transactions, public offerings or strategic investments. The net proceeds from any sale of the common shares under a prospectus supplement will be used for general corporate purposes, including funding future exploration and development work on the Company's projects. More detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from a sale of common shares will be included in the applicable prospectus supplement.
A copy of the preliminary short form base shelf prospectus, and copies of the final short form base shelf prospectus and any shelf prospectus supplements that may be filed in the future, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov or may be obtained by request to the Assistant Corporate Secretary, Seabridge Gold Inc., 106 Front Street East, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 1E1, Canada (Telephone: 1-416-367-9292)

No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved the contents of this press release. The Registration Statement filed today with the SEC has not yet become effective. No Securities may be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective.

Neither the Toronto Stock Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
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 use of proceeds of future financings are "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and 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, aims, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, projects, assumes, potential and similar expressions, and, being estimates, resource and reserve estimates are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also include reference to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or should occur, including in relation to the use of proceeds from the offering. 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 the sufficiency of funding for the planned work; 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 of 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 December 31, 2017 Annual Information Form filed with SEDAR in Canada (available at www.sedar.com) and the Company's Annual Report Form 40-F filed with the SEC on EDGAR (available at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml). When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by the Company or on our behalf, except as required by law.
