Drill Program Analysis Completed at Seabridge Gold’s Promising Mitchell Deposit
2007 Drill Program Planned to Test Possible Expansions
Resource Estimates and Metallurgical Studies Now in Progress

Toronto (Canada) — Final assay results from the 2006 core drill program at Seabridge Gold’s new Mitchell gold-copper deposit have confirmed (i) a sizeable mineralized zone with notable continuity, (ii) northern and eastern limits to the deposit and (iii) potential for significant expansion to the south and southwest. The Mitchell deposit is located on Seabridge’s 100% owned Kerr-Sulphurets project near Stewart, British Columbia. An independent resource calculation is now in progress for the Mitchell, Kerr and Sulphurets deposits, compliant with National Instrument 43-101.

In June 2006, Seabridge commenced a 9,100 meter core drill program at Kerr-Sulphurets designed to expand the project’s known gold resource by testing for the strike and depth extensions of the Sulphurets deposit and by systematically drilling the promising new Mitchell gold zone identified in previous work. All drilling and assaying is now complete with 24 holes (7,506 meters) drilled at Mitchell and five holes (1,623 meters) drilled at Sulphurets.

The drilling at Mitchell has confirmed a continuously mineralized gold-copper zone measuring 1,600 meters long, 800 meters wide and at least 300 to 400 meters thick. This zone is now the subject of an initial resource estimate by Resource Modeling Inc. of Tucson, Arizona. Metallurgical studies by G&T Metallurgical Services Ltd. of Kamloops, B.C. are also in progress.

Based on the 2006 program, Seabridge geologists have identified two potential expansions of the Mitchell deposit – a western extension offset to the south and a southern extension of the entire zone. Drill holes M-06-16, M-06-18 and M-06-21 through M-06-23 were designed to test the west side of the deposit and failed to intersect significant mineralization. However, drill hole M-06-19 and historical drill hole S91-396 located further to the south of these holes re-entered mineralization similar to the Mitchell deposit suggesting that the west strike extension of the Mitchell deposit was off-set to the south and is preserved under the regional thrust fault (see attached plan map interpretation).

The entire Mitchell zone appears to be open to the south. Two of the best holes drilled to date, M-06-09 and M-06-17, were the most southern holes drilled thus far. Both gold and copper grades for these two holes were above the weighted average for the 2006 drill program. Seabridge President and CEO Rudi Fronk said that “we are planning an aggressive new drill program for the summer of 2007 designed to test the southern extension and also the western offset. We believe it is possible that the Mitchell and Sulphurets deposits could be separately exposed portions of the same gold-copper mineralized zone or system, and the untested, blind area beneath the Sulphurets thrust fault offers attractive exploration potential.” (see attached cross section interpretation).

Results from the first 15 holes drilled at Mitchell were announced on November 7, 2006 and September 19, 2006. Results from the five holes drilled at Sulphurets were announced on December 18, 2006. Assay results from the remaining nine holes at Mitchell are as follows:

The Mitchell Zone is a porphyry style gold-copper mineral system exposed in an erosional window through a regional thrust fault. The mineral system is characterized by intense hydrothermal alteration and regional structural deformation prior to the regional thrust faulting. The drill program conducted at Mitchell in 2006, concentrated on the exposed part of the system in the Mitchell Creek erosional window. All of the Mitchell holes were drilled from north to south at an incline of approximately minus 70 degrees to cross a well defined dipping alteration zone that was known to be gold-bearing. Holes at Mitchell were drilled on sections spaced approximately 200 meters apart to test 10 sections over a strike length of 2 kilometers. The true thickness of the Mitchell zone, based on initial drill results from the current program, is estimated to be at least 300 to 400 meters but could be more as most of the holes received to date ended in material that was consistent with the grades of the overall hole.

Exploration activities at Kerr-Sulphurets were conducted by personnel from Xstrata Copper Canada (following Xstrata’s acquisition of Falconbridge Limited) under the supervision of William E. Threlkeld, Senior Vice President of Seabridge and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Initial analytical work for the 2006 drill program is being conducted by Eco-Tech Laboratories, located in Kamloops, British Columbia. Samples were prepared at Eco-Tech’s Stewart, BC prep facility and shipped by them to Kamloops for fire assay. An ongoing and rigorous quality control/quality assurance protocol was used on this program including blank and reference standards in every batch of assays. Duplicate analyses are being conducted on 10% of the samples at the ALS Chemex Vancouver laboratory.

Seabridge has acquired a 100% interest in nine North American gold resource projects. For a breakdown of the Company’s mineral resources by project and resource category please visit the Company’s website at http://www.seabridgegold.net/Resource.htm.

All resource estimates reported by the Company, with the exceptions of the historic estimates for the Grassy Mountain, Kerr Sulphurets and Hog Ranch projects, 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.
