Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 29, 2021) - Seabridge Gold (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA) announced today that it has sold its residual interests in its previously owned Red Mountain project located in northwestern British Columbia for US$18 million in cash to Sprott Resource Streaming and Royalty. Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation acted as financial advisor to Seabridge on the sale.
As background, in May 2017 IDM Mining Ltd. completed the exercise of its option to acquire a 100% interest in Red Mountain from Seabridge. Under the terms of the option agreement, IDM was further obligated to make a $1.5 million cash payment to Seabridge upon the commencement of commercial production at Red Mountain, and Seabridge retained the right either to receive a further $4.0 million cash payment or to keep a gold stream to acquire 10 per cent of the annual gold production from the Project at a cost of $1,000 (U.S.) per ounce up to a maximum of 50,000 ounces produced (50,000 ounces to Seabridge). In March 2019, IDM was acquired by Ascot Resources who now owns 100% of the Red Mountain Project, subject to these residual interests under the option agreement.
