Hydro to power construction phase of mining project

The construction phase of the KSM mining project in British Columbia, Canada, is set to be powered by hydropower following the signing of a Facilities Agreement between Seabridge Gold's wholly owned subsidiary, KSM Mining ULC and British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro). KSM will connect to BC Hydro's existing Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) at Treaty Creek Switching Station (TCT). This TCT is scheduled to be completed before the end of 2024. KSM Mining has completed its design for a 30km long 287 KV transmission line to interconnect the TCT and the KSM plant site. This KSM transmission line is scheduled to be constructed in 2023 with completion and commissioning planned for late 2024 to be ready for connection to the TCT.
