Toronto, Ontario– announced today that a contractor at its 100% owned 3Aces Project in Canada’s Yukon has tested presumptively positive for COVID-19 when the Company conducted a rapid antigen test after the person arrived at the Project site.
“Reducing the risk of transmission and protecting the health and wellness of our workers and surrounding communities is our top priority.
Since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, Seabridge Gold has developed and implemented rigorous measures to protect the health and safety of its employees.
The aim of this initial work is to expand high-grade gold targets previously identified and detect new targets for initial drill testing.
Seabridge’s assets include the KSM and Iskut projects located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada, the Courageous Lake project located in Canada’s Northwest Territories, the Snowstorm project in the Getchell Gold Belt of Northern Nevada and the 3Aces project located in the Yukon Territory.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s plans or expectations include regulatory issues, unexpected geology at the Project, availability of capital and financing, general economic, market or business conditions, timeliness of government or regulatory approvals and other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities regulators.
