                                  NEWS RELEASE

TRADING SYMBOLS: TSX-V: SEA                                FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                 AMEX: SA                                       DECEMBER 6, 2005

            SEABRIDGE GOLD CLOSES $3.2 MILLION FLOW-THROUGH FINANCING
         PROCEEDS TO FUND 15,000 METER DRILL PROGRAM AT COURAGEOUS LAKE

TORONTO, CANADA... Seabridge Gold announced today that it has closed its
previously announced private placement financing of 435,000 flow-through shares
at $7.25 per share for gross proceeds of $3,153,750. This financing will be used
to fund a 15,000 meter core drilling program at the Company's 100% owned
Courageous Lake gold project located in Canada's Northwest Territories.

The shares issued under this private placement are subject to a four-month hold
period expiring on April 7, 2006. There were no commissions or finder's fees
payable on this financing.

The drill program at Courageous Lake is designed to expand gold resources at the
FAT deposit and extend the estimated mine life in the recently completed
Preliminary Assessment of the project (see
http://www.seabridgegold.net/NSept21_05.pdf ).

The current gold resource at the FAT deposit has been estimated using drill
results south of section line 5200N. During 2005, exploration drilling by
Seabridge successfully intersected the main mineralized zones of the FAT deposit
550 meters north of the known resource on section line 5750N (see
http://www.seabridgegold.net/Images/CL-NorthExtensions2005.jpg). The first
objective of the 2006 program will be to drill the area between section 5200N
and 5750N on 50 meter centers to define additional resources. The second
objective is to increase the grade of the known resource by intersecting
east-west trending structures which could account for the distribution of higher
grade gold concentrations within the FAT deposit. Past drilling on the deposit
was oriented in an east-west direction, limiting the potential to define and
incorporate this structural control in the resource model. Drill hole CL-039,
completed in 2005, was orientated north-south in order to cross one of these
structures. Drill hole CL-039 intersected much higher grade mineralization than
predicted in the resource model.

Seabridge's Courageous Lake project covers 53 kilometers of the Matthews Lake
Greenstone Belt which hosts the 2 kilometer long FAT deposit. The FAT deposit
contains an estimated 3.72 million ounces in the measured and indicated
categories (50.4 million tonnes grading 2.30 grams of gold per tonne) plus an
additional estimated 5.23 million ounces in the inferred category (77.4 million
tonnes grading 2.10 grams of gold per tonne).

Exploration activities at the Courageous Lake gold project are being conducted
under the supervision of William E. Threlkeld, Registered Professional
Geologist, Senior Vice President of the Company and a Qualified Person as
defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Seabridge has acquired a 100% interest in eight North American gold projects,
subject to earn-in rights of up to 65% at its Kerr-Sulphurets project and up to
62.5% at its Quartz Mountain project held by potential partners. For a breakdown
of the Company's mineral resources by project and resource category please see
