Caesars Entertainment misses Q2 earnings expectations, shares edge lower
TORONTO - Seabridge Gold Inc. (TSX: SEA) (NYSE: SA), a mining company with a market capitalization of $1.25 billion, has submitted a legal response to petitions challenging the Environmental Assessment Office’s (EAO) decision to grant its KSM project the Substantially Started (SS) Designation. The EAO’s ruling from July 29, 2024, which found that the KSM project was substantially started, secures the project’s Environmental Assessment Certificate from expiring.
The company’s filings in the British Columbia Supreme Court are intended to support and expand upon the BC Government’s late April 2025 responses, emphasizing Seabridge’s extensive engagement with the petitioners throughout the SS application process. Seabridge has been actively involved with the TSKLH, one of the petitioners, since 2007, providing funding support and including them in all regulatory application reviews.
Seabridge CEO Rudi Fronk expressed confidence in the company’s and the BC Government’s responses, asserting that they demonstrate the EAO’s decision was procedurally fair and reasonable. The court hearing is scheduled from September 22 to September 29, 2025. Despite the ongoing legal process, the SS Designation remains in effect, allowing the company to proceed with its development plans for the year. According to InvestingPro data, Seabridge maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 9.53, suggesting ample resources for project development. The company’s Altman Z-Score of 5.51 indicates solid financial stability.
