Seabridge Gold Incorporated proposes to develop a copper, gold and silver deposit located approximately 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart, British Columbia. The proposed development would include three large open pits, waste rock storage dumps, an ore grinding circuit, and small hydroelectric projects located in the Sulphurets Creek drainage of the Unuk River. Ground ore would be transported via a slurry pipeline through a tunnel to an ore concentrator plant and tailings management facility (tailings impoundment area) located in the Treaty and Teigen Creek drainages of the Bell-Irving River. New roads to access the site are proposed from Highway 37 to the plant and tailings management facility site along the Teigen Creek valley and from the existing Eskay Creek road to the open-pit mine area along the Unuk River and Sulphurets Creek valleys. Power for the mine site will likely be provided from the future BC Hydro transmission line that is proposed to be built along Highway 37. The proposed mine development would also include a camp, explosives factories and magazines, buildings and supporting infrastructure and is expected to process between 100,000 to 120,000 tonnes per day of ore over a mine life of at least 30 years.
