Stonegate Capital Partners has initiated coverage on Seabridge Gold Inc. (NYSE: SA), providing a comprehensive analysis of the company's financial position and development projects. As of the second quarter of 2025, Seabridge maintained a strong financial foundation with $121.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, bolstered by a $100.2 million equity financing completed in February 2025 and a $30.5 million flow-through financing in June 2025.
The company's flagship KSM project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle represents the world's largest undeveloped gold project and the third largest copper development resource. The 2022 pre-feasibility study outlined a 33-year mine life with all-in sustaining costs of $601 per ounce net of copper credits. The project received its Substantially Started Designation in July 2024, securing its environmental assessment certificate for the project's lifetime. Near-term objectives include completing the KSM Site Investigation Program in the second half of 2025 to support a future bankable feasibility study.
Seabridge's Courageous Lake project in the Northwest Territories provides a second tier-1 scale asset with 2.8 million ounces of proven and probable gold reserves. The 2024 pre-feasibility study projected a 12.6-year mine life producing approximately 201,000 ounces annually at an all-in sustaining cost of $999 per ounce. The company's exploration portfolio includes the Iskut project, located just 20 kilometers from KSM, which shows potential as a second major development following the 2024 discovery of the Snip North porphyry system.
Stonegate's valuation analysis applies an enterprise value to net asset value range of 0.60x to 0.80x, resulting in a valuation range of C$41.85 to C$57.85 with a midpoint of C$49.85. Using an enterprise value to reserves methodology with a multiple range of 20x to 30x produces a valuation range of C$42.72 to C$67.17 with a midpoint of C$54.94. The company's strategy focuses on securing a major joint venture partner for KSM, unlocking value from Courageous Lake, and expanding its exploration pipeline while maintaining strong per-share growth of gold and copper ounces.
