Rudi Fronk's <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Seabridge Gold Inc.</strong> (SEA) slid 81 cents to $20.26 on 188,000 shares on word that -- clear your throat and moisten your lips here -- the Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha, a local indigenous group claiming an extensive traditional territory in northwestern British Columbia, has petitioned the Supreme Court of British Columbia, seeking judicial review of the determination by the province's chief executive assessment officer that Seabridge's KSM Project has been "substantially started".</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> So what, you ask? Well, the KSM project's environmental assessment certificate would have expired late in July, had the project not been deemed to have been substantially started -- a determination the bureaucrats made four days before the expiry date. Now, the certificate is no longer subject to expiry. The TSKLA are looking for a ruling that the province failed to fulfill in its duty to consult with the group, and so it wants a determination quashing the "substantially started" determination.</p> <p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Earlier this year, Seabridge credited KSM with 384.2 million tonnes indicated at the Kerr deposit, grading 0.22 gram of gold and 1.2 grams of silver per tonne plus 0.41 per cent copper, along with 2.6 billion tonnes inferred at comparable grades. At the Iron Cap deposit, another 471 million tonnes are indicated and 2.3 million tonnes inferred at about 0.4 gram of gold and 2.8 grams of silver per tonne, along with 0.26 per cent copper. The products of the mammoth tonnages and tiny grades yield an impressive amount of metal -- over 60 million ounces of gold and over 400 million ounces of silver, along with an eye-popping 40 billion pounds of copper.</p>
