TORONTO, March 10, 2015 /CNW/ - Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX:SEA)(NYSE:SA) (the "Company") announced today that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters, led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Underwriters"), whereby the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 1.4 million flow-through common shares of the Company (the "Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $10.17 per Flow-Through Share (a 27.3% premium to today's closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), for gross proceeds of $14,238,000 (the "Offering"). The Company has granted the Underwriters an option to purchase from the Company up to an additional 210,000 Flow-Through Shares at the same price as the Offering. The option expires two weeks prior to the closing of the financing. Canaccord Genuity and Cowen and Company, LLC are acting as financial advisors to the Company on this transaction.

The gross proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the 2015 exploration program at the Company's 100% owned KSM Project in north western British Columbia.

Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk noted that "our 2015 exploration program will continue to focus on discovering and expanding higher grade core zones that have the potential to enhance projected economics at our 100% owned KSM project in northwestern British Columbia. We expect this year's program to generate additional gold resources which will more than offset the share dilution involved just as we are confident that the results from last year's program will also prove to be accretive to our shareholders when new resource estimates have been completed. Growing gold ownership per share continues to be a key objective for Seabridge."

The Offering is being made by way of private placement in Canada.  The Flow-Through Shares will not be offered or sold in the United States. The Offering is expected to close on or about April 7, 2015, and is subject to customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, the listing of the Common Shares on the TSX and New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX, the NYSE, and the relevant securities regulatory authorities. The Flow-Through Shares issued under this Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
