Seabridge Gold’s Brent Murphy sent a letter to the Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust requesting an immediate correction of the misleading information published about Seabridge Gold’s KSM Project in the “2024 SeaBank Annual Report.” Brent pointed out that the report relies heavily on incorrect information published by ENGOs and individuals with a clear agenda of opposing the KSM Project, such as Rivers Without Borders and B.C. Mining Law Reform. These groups have repeatedly disseminated misleading and baseless claims about the KSM Project, which we have publicly debunked on multiple occasions. By citing information from these reports, Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust is inadvertently perpetuating misinformation that has already been refuted.

Specifically, Brent highlighted that Mr. Steven H. Emerman, whose analysis was cited repeatedly in the report is not a professional engineer registered in British Columbia. His lack of accreditation raises serious and significant questions about his qualifications, credibility and his understanding of BC’s rigorous regulatory requirements for tailings dam design.

In the letter, Brent also provided various facts about the KSM Project including environmental assessment approvals, engagement with Alaska, proposed proven Selenium Treatment Technology, the design of the tailings management facility that meets the highest standards of safety and environmental stewardship and strong support the project enjoys from Indigenous partners.

Brent also requested that moving forward Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust should refrain from relying solely on information from the ENGOs and instead reach out to Seabridge Gold for accurate, verified details about the KSM Project to ensure their report reflects a balanced and well-informed perspective about the KSM Project.
