(Kitco News) - Seabridge Gold (TSX: SEA) is advancing its KSM project, what the company calls the world's largest copper-gold project.
In July Kitco Mining toured the project with Elizabeth Fillatre Miller, vice president, environment and social responsibility, Seabridge Gold.
Last month the company received its "substantially started" designation from the BC Government for KSM. The designation affirms the validity of the BC Environmental Assessment Certificate ("EAC") for the life of the KSM Project, said Seabridge in a news release.
Current proven and probable reserves at the company’s 100%-owned KSM project in northwestern British Columbia exceed 47 million ounces of gold and 7 billion pounds of copper.
Last year the world's biggest gold miner, Newmont, became a major player in the Golden Triangle. Newmont acquired Newcrest for $19.5 billion and took over two operating mines in the region: Brucejack and Red Chris.
