​As stated previously, Seabridge proposes to conduct the same exploration activities as

previously permitted under Class A permit MV2012C0025. The scope of work as defined in the expiring permit is:

    Mineral exploration including diamond drilling;

 Fuel storage;

 Winter road construction/maintenance; and

 Quarrying.

The scope of work will remain unchanged for the next five to seven year term. All proposed exploration activities will continue to occur within the same permit boundaryas the expiring permit, defined by 63°50' N and 111°00' W by 64°20' N and 111°30' W.

Seabridge proposes to continue to use water for drilling, winter road construction, and potable uses. No additional or alternative water uses are being proposed. Seabridge’s application for a water licence is necessitated only by a desire to increase its daily water use from the 100 m3/day (allowed without a license) to 299 m3/day (the upper limit for a Type B licence for a miscellaneous undertaking). The additional water will provide Seabridge with greater logistical flexibility to operate up to five drills simultaneously.
