(TSX:SEA) (NYSE:SA) announce that Director, colleague and friend, Thomas (Tom) C. Dawson passed away on March 22, 2016.

Tom’s leadership, integrity and friendship over the last ten years of the Company’s transformation will be greatly missed,” said Rudi Fronk, Chairman and CEO Seabridge Gold Inc.
"On behalf of the Board of Directors and all employees, I extend our deepest condolences to Tom’s family and to all who came to know him as a colleague, as a mentor and as a friend."
