In doing so, Seabridge satisfied a key condition of the BC Environmental Assessment Certificate issued on July 30, 2014 which required completion of the pilot plant test within one year of issuance of the certificate. \n\nSeabridge Gold Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk, stated that \"successful completion of the pilot plant test achieves a further milestone in KSM's ongoing transition from exploration to development.
