Seabridge Gold Inc. announced on December 2, 2024, that a second Petition has been filed in the British Columbia Supreme Court challenging the 'Substantially Started' (SS) Determination for its KSM Project. This new petition was filed by SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission (SEITC).

The new petitioners are seeking judicial review of the Minister's determination on July 25, 2024, that the KSM Project was 'substantially started', arguing that the decision was unreasonable. This follows a similar petition filed by the Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha on November 22, 2024.

Seabridge's wholly-owned subsidiary, KSM Mining ULC, is named as a respondent in this new petition. The company has been advised that both petitions will be combined and heard together in court, with the SS Determination remaining in effect during the legal proceedings.
