Recent Highlights
Entering Q3, there were significant risks and uncertainties concerning how COVID-19 would impact planned field activities and what the Company could safely achieve without risking its employees, consultants and our Treaty and First Nation partners. Our team worked closely with Treaty and First Nations, government health organizations, suppliers and other exploration companies in each of our areas of focus to develop effective procedures for operating in the current global health crisis. These efforts successfully prevented infection of our work sites and surrounding communities.
Despite having to cut back our 2020 programs in response to the coronavirus, we were able to accomplish the following:
- Completed geotechnical drill program along KSM's tunnel route
- Drilling at Iskut found additional evidence of a large gold-copper porphyry system
- Drilling got underway at Snowstorm in Nevada
- Exited Q3 with one of the strongest working capital positions in our 21-year history
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, Seabridge posted a profit of $5.0 million ($0.07 per share) compared to a loss of $2.5 million ($0.04 per share) for the same period last year. During the 3rd quarter, Seabridge invested $12.0 million in mineral interests, compared to $10.8 million during the same period last year. At September 30, 2020, net working capital was $39.9 million compared to $18.0 million at December 31, 2019.
