Trading Symbols:  TSX: SEA                                 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                  NYSE Amex: SA                                    June 25, 2009


       Seabridge Gold Agrees to Sell Red Mountain Project for C$12 Million

Toronto, Canada - Seabridge Gold announced today that it has signed a letter of
intent to sell 100% of its interest in the Red Mountain property located in
British Columbia, Canada to BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX-V:BTR) for $7.0 million
in cash plus a $5.0 million convertible debenture. The transaction is expected
to close at the end of September, 2009.

Seabridge President and CEO Rudi Fronk said "BonTerra is in a strong position to
take our Red Mountain project forward. They have generated excellent exploration
results on contiguous ground which could increase the size of the high-grade Red
Mountain project and enhance its economics. We elected to take part of the
proceeds of this proposed sale in the form of a convertible debenture so that we
can continue to participate in Red Mountain's potential success. Cash proceeds
from this transaction will enable Seabridge to continue advancing KSM and
Courageous Lake towards feasibility without share dilution."

For additional information on this transaction see www.bonterraresources.com

Seabridge holds a 100% interest in several North American gold resource
projects. The Company's principal assets are the KSM property located near
Stewart, British Columbia, Canada and the Courageous Lake gold project located
in Canada's Northwest Territories. For a breakdown of Seabridge's mineral
resources by project and resource category please visit the Company's website at
http://www.seabridgegold.net/resources.php.

All resource estimates reported by the Corporation were calculated in accordance
with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of
Mining and Metallurgy Classification system. These standards differ
significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability.

Statements relating to the estimated or expected future production and operating
results and costs and financial condition of Seabridge, planned work at the
Corporation's projects and the expected results of such work are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not
historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by words such as
the following: expects, plans, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates,
projects, assumes, potential and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements
also include reference to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or
should occur. Information concerning exploration results and mineral reserve and
resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as it
constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a
project is actually developed. These forward-looking statements are necessarily
based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered
reasonable at the time they are made, are inherently subject to a variety of
risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including,
without limitation: uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to
fund the planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in
planned work resulting from logistical, technical or other factors; the
possibility that results of work will not fulfill projections/expectations and
realize the perceived potential of the Corporation's projects; uncertainties
involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests and the
estimation of gold reserves and resources; risk of accidents, equipment
breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or
interruptions; the possibility of environmental issues at the Corporation's
projects; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in work
programs; the need to obtain permits and comply with environmental laws and
regulations and other government requirements; fluctuations in the price of gold
and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in the
Corporation's Annual Information Form filed with SEDAR in Canada (available at
www.sedar.com) for the year ended December 31, 2008 and in the Corporation's
Annual Report Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on EDGAR (available at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml).
