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 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 Annual Information Form filed with SEDAR in Canada (available at www.sedar.com) for the year ended December 31, 2012 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 best holes ever drilled at KSM and Courageous Lake were new

discoveries in 2012

• Defining a resource at Deep Kerr

• Testing for other potential “game changing” core zones

KSM

• Defining an initial resource at Walsh Lake, where 2012 drilling identified a new deposit with grades that are expected to be significantly higher than existing reserves

Courageous Lake

2013 Budget

$24M


Kerr, Sulphurets and Mitchell

• Kerr, Sulphurets and Mitchell (“KSM”), is the world’s largest undeveloped gold/copper project (by reserves)

– KSM reserves at 38.2M oz Au and 10B lbs Cu

• Located in “mining friendly” British Columbia near past producers

• Highly favorable logistics – Access to inexpensive hydro power

– Nearby highway network and year-round operating seaport facility

• Estimated cash costs well below current industry averages

– Operating costs of $141/oz Au

– Total costs of $598/oz Au

– Less than $0.06/kwh to plug-into hydro power located less than 30 km away

• Base Case exhibits outstanding capital efficiency

– 50+ year mine life

– Payback of 6 years

S E A B R I D G E G O L D 21


Courageous Lake

• At 6.5M oz, Courageous Lake (“CL”) is Canada’s 2nd largest undeveloped gold reserve (KSM is 1st)

• Excellent open pit grade of 2.2 gpt Au – More than twice the grade of Osisko and

Detour Gold’s new mines

• Recently completed Preliminary Feasibility Study shows viable project with exceptional leverage to higher gold prices

• Wholly owned 53 km greenstone belt provides excellent exploration potential

• Located in Northwest Territories within 100 km of Diavik and Ekati, two large operating open pit diamond mines

23


Courageous Lake – Project Location

• Project located on winter ice road, in close proximity to the Diavik and Ekati mines

– Demonstrating that year round

open pit bulk tonnage operations

are feasible

• Nearby mines provide “real-time” estimates for capital and operating costs

– Additionally, with mines scheduled

to close over the next several

years, a local and trained

workforce will be readily available

24


Courageous Lake – Exploration Potential

• Existing 6.5M oz reserve covers only

2 km of an under explored

greenstone belt that stretches 53 km

– Owned 100% by Seabridge

• Two former producing mines on belt

(Salmita and Tundra) had average

grades of ~1 opt Au (30 gpt)

• Seabridge now exploring for

additional deposits that could extend

the estimated 15 year mine life

– With potentially higher grades

mined in early years

CL – Value Enhancing Opportunities

• Access to hydro-electric generated power

• Examine year round road access opportunities

Improve Capital and Operating

Costs

• Exploring for higher grade material that could be exploited in the early years of production

• History of high grade production along belt Higher Grades

• Exploring for additional bulk mineable deposits that could extend project life beyond the current 15 year estimate

Additional Deposits
