Seabridge Stock Price, News & Analysis

Santander Bank's digital platform, Openbank, has surpassed 100,000 customers in its first six months of U.S. operations, marking a significant milestone. The achievement aligns with Santander's 2025 strategy to generate lower-cost, national deposits and strengthen its Auto lending franchise.

The bank's growth strategy focuses on two pillars: expanding Openbank's offerings beyond High Yield Savings to include CDs, Payments, and Checking Accounts, while enhancing their branch network with new formats and locations. Recent research shows potential for further growth, as 69% of Americans don't have a higher-yielding savings account, though 20% have recently moved funds to higher-rate accounts.

Working capital significantly improved to $148.7 million, up from $37.8 million in December 2024.

The company invested $14.3 million in mineral interests during Q1 2025, down from $39.3 million in Q1 2024. Seabridge's portfolio includes 100% interests in several North American gold projects, including KSM and Iskut in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, Courageous Lake in Northwest Territories, Snowstorm in Nevada, and 3 Aces in Yukon Territory.

Seabridge Gold (NYSE: SA) announced that the British Columbia Government has filed responses in BC Supreme Court defending its Environmental Assessment Office's (EAO) decision to grant a Substantially Started (SS) Designation to the KSM project. The SS designation, issued on July 29, 2024, ensures the project's Environmental Assessment Certificate won't expire.

The BC Government's response outlines the consultation meetings, communications, and procedural fairness measures taken with petitioners challenging the SS determination. The court hearing is scheduled for September 22-29, 2025. CEO Rudi Fronk expressed confidence in the EAO's decision-making process, and confirmed the SS Designation remains in effect while legal proceedings continue.

Seabridge Gold (NYSE: SA) has won a significant legal victory as the British Columbia Supreme Court (BCSC) has largely approved its appeal against the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) decision to disallow $15.8 million in exploration expenditures under the BC Mining Exploration Tax Credit program.

The court ruled that expenses determining economic viability of mineral resources qualify under the program, validating most of Seabridge's claims except report compilation expenses. This decision affects approximately $3.1 million in refunds plus interest.

The ruling also has implications for a separate case involving $19.1 million in renounced expenditures from flow-through share financings (2013-2015), where Seabridge has deposited $9.4 million with CRA on behalf of investors. The company expects the court's reasoning to help resolve this second matter favorably.

Seabridge Gold (NYSE: SA) has filed its 2024 annual reports, revealing a net loss of $31.2 million ($0.35 per share) compared to $29.3 million in 2023.

Key 2024 achievements include obtaining the Substantially Started Determination from BC government, discovering significant gold and copper mineralization at the Iskut project, and engaging with global miners for KSM partnership. In February 2025, Seabridge completed two equity financings totaling $142.5 million, comprising a bought-deal offering and a strategic investor private placement at $12.25 per share.

The proceeds will fund BC Hydro switching station payments, KSM feasibility study preparation, and ongoing project activities. Seabridge's portfolio includes the KSM and Iskut projects in BC's Golden Triangle, Courageous Lake in Northwest Territories, Snowstorm in Nevada, and 3 Aces in Yukon.
