09:26 AM EDT, 08/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Seabridge Gold ( SA ) said Tuesday that results from the first three drill holes of its 2025 program at the Snip North target in Northwestern British Columbia confirmed a copper-gold porphyry deposit that is "unusual" in size and consistency.

The gold exploration company said the holes are part of a 12,000-meter campaign aimed at expanding a porphyry zone discovered in 2024. Each of the holes intersected intervals of mineralization with "significant" copper and gold grades, the company said.

Chief Executive Officer Rudi Fronk said the company aims to provide a resource estimation for Snip North "early next year."
