  EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
 Seabridge Gold Inc.  (the “Company” or the “Registrant” or “we” or “us”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act. We are a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, our equity securities are exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.
 
 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
 This annual report on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities laws concerning our projects, business approach and plans, including estimated production, capital, operating and cash flow estimates and other matters at our projects. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively referred to in the following information simply as “forward-looking statements”).  In addition, statements concerning mineral resource estimates constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization expected to be encountered if a mineral property is developed.
 
 Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments.  In making the forward-looking statements in this Form 40-F and the exhibits attached hereto, we have applied several material assumptions including, but not limited to, the assumption that: (i) market fundamentals will result in sustained demand and prices for gold and copper, and to a much lesser degree, silver and molybdenum; (ii) the potential for production at our mineral projects will continue operationally, legally and economically; (iii) any additional financing needed will be available on reasonable terms; and (iv) estimated resources at our projects have merit and there is continuity of mineralization as reflected in such estimates.
 
 Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
 ·
our history of losses and expectation of future losses;
 ·
risks related to our ability to finance our exploration activities and future development activities through joint ventures, the sale of property interests or obtaining suitable financing;
 ·
uncertainty of whether there are any economic reserves existing on our mineral properties;
 ·
uncertainties relating to the assumptions underlying our resource estimates;
 ·
uncertainty of estimates of capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns;
 ·
risks related to commercially producing precious metals from our mineral properties;
 ·
risks related to fluctuations in the market price of gold, copper and other metals;
 ·
risks related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
 ·
mining, exploration and development risks that could result in damage to mineral properties, plant and equipment, personal injury, environmental damage and delays in mining, which may be uninsurable;
 ·
risks related to obtaining all necessary permits and governmental approvals for exploration and development activities, including in respect of environmental regulation;
 ·
uncertainty related to title to our mineral properties;
 ·
risks related to unsettled First Nations rights and title;
 ·
risks related to increases in demand for exploration, development and construction services equipment, and related cost increases;
 ·
increased competition in the mining industry;
 ·
our need to attract and retain qualified management and personnel;
 ·
risks related to some of our directors’ and officers’ involvement with other natural resource companies; and
 ·
our classification as a “passive foreign investment company” under the United States tax code.
  
  This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to in our Annual Information Form attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 (the “AIF”) under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the AIF, and in the documents incorporated by reference to this Form 40-F and the AIF.  In addition, although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual achievements, events or conditions to differ materially from those identified in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause achievements, events or conditions not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.  It is also noted that while we engage in exploration and development of our properties, we will not undertake production activities by ourselves.
 
 These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made and we do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities laws, if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change. For the reasons set forth above, persons should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
 
 CURRENCY
 
 Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this annual report on Form 40-F are in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 31, 2012, based on the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was US$1.00= CDN$0.9958.
 
 
 NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS-
 DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES
 
 We are permitted under the multi-jurisdictional system adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to prepare this annual report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which differ from those of the SEC.  We have prepared our financial statements, which are filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this annual report, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and they are not comparable with financial statements prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES
 
 We prepared the AIF for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in or incorporated by reference in this Form 40-F have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, including Industry Guide 7 under the Securities Act. Resource information contained herein and incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.
 
 Without limiting the foregoing, this Form 40-F, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” resources. U.S. investors are cautioned that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize them. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves.
  
  U.S. investors should also understand that “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the “inferred resources” exist, are economically or legally mineable or will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a mineral resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report “resources” as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in the AIF, or in the documents incorporated by reference to this Form 40-F and the AIF, may not be comparable to information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
 
 ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM
 
 The AIF is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein.
 
 AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 Our audited financial statements (“Audited Financial Statements”), including the Independent Auditors’ Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm with respect thereto, are attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein, are stated in Canadian Dollars (CDN$) and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
 
 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
 Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “MD&A”) is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein.
 
 TAX MATTERS
 
 Purchasing, holding or disposing of our securities may have tax consequences under the laws of the United States and Canada that are not described in this annual report.   Shareholders are solely responsible for determining the tax consequences as applicable to their particular circumstances and should consult with their own tax advisors concerning an investment in our securities.
 
 U.S. holders of our common shares should be aware that we believe that for U.S. federal income tax purposes we were classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) during the tax year ended December 31, 2012 and, based upon current business plans and financial expectations, we expect to be classified as a PFIC for the tax year ending December 31, 2013.
 
 Assuming we are classified as a PFIC for any year during a U.S. shareholder’s holding period, then such U.S. shareholder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of our common shares, (as well as any “excess distribution” received on the common shares) as if the gain were ordinary income (rather than capital gain) that had been realized ratably over the holding period of the common shares.  The amount allocated to the current taxable year or to any year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, would be taxed as ordinary income earned in the current taxable year.  The amount allocated to other taxable years would be taxed at the highest marginal rates applicable to ordinary income for such taxable years, and the U.S. Holder also would be liable for an interest charge on such tax liability for such years.  The ownership and disposition of shares in a PFIC must be reported on Form 8621, filed with a U.S. Holder’s federal income tax return. The foregoing excess distribution rules would not apply to the extent that the shareholder makes a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” (“QEF”) election or a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the common shares.  A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF election generally must report on a current basis his share of our net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which we are a PFIC, whether or not we distribute any amounts to our shareholders.  For each tax year that we are a PFIC, we will make available the PFIC annual information statement as provided pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g) on our website.  A U.S. shareholder who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the common shares over his basis therein.
  
  Each U.S. shareholder should consult with his own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares.
 
 DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 At the end of the period covered by this annual report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) and Rule 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 For management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, see “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” and “Internal Controls over Financial Reporting” in our MD&A attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein.
 
 Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, which is included as part of Exhibit 99.3 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein.
 
 Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
 During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, no changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
 We are subject to a variety of corporate governance guidelines and requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the NYSE (the “NYSE”), the Canadian Securities Administrators and the SEC.  We believe that we meet or exceed the applicable corporate governance requirements.  According to the NYSE Rules, a listed company must adopt and disclose a set of corporate governance guidelines with respect to specified topics.  Such guidelines are required to be posted on the registrant’s website. Although we are listed on the NYSE, we are not required to comply with all of that exchange's corporate governance rules which are applicable to U.S. companies. Our governance practices comply in all significant respects with the NYSE Rules.  The guidelines are available for viewing on our website at http://www.seabridgegold.net/ManCorpPract.pdf and are available without charge in print to any shareholder who requests them.  Requests for copies of the guidelines should be made to the Secretary of the Company at 106 Front Street East, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5A 1E1, Telephone (416) 367-9292.
 
 We review our governance practices and monitor developments in Canada and the United States on an on-going basis to ensure we remain in compliance with applicable rules and standards. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices which are both in the interest of our shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.
  
  AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
 Audit Committee
 
 The Board has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The members of our Audit Committee are identified under the heading “Audit Committee Information” in the AIF which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein. In the opinion of the Board, all members of the Audit Committee are financially literate and independent, as such terms are defined by the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards applicable to us and as determined by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
 
 Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
 The Board has determined that Thomas C. Dawson, Chairman of the Audit Committee, has the necessary qualifications to be designated as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC Rules and is an “independent director”, as defined pursuant to Item 407(d)(5) of SEC Regulation S-K.  Mr. Dawson has been a Chartered Accountant since 1961. In 1999, he retired as a senior audit and accounting partner with 40 years experience at Deloitte & Touche LLP, Chartered Accountants. He received his B.Comm. from Loyola College (now Concordia University), Canada, in 1959. Mr. Dawson is also a director of WaterFurnace Renewable Energy, a Canadian public company and three structured investment funds managed by Scotia Managed Companies.  The SEC has indicated that the designation of an audit committee financial expert does not make that person an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations, or liability on that person that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and board of directors who do not carry this designation, or affect the duties, obligations, or liabilities of any other member of the audit committee.
 
 Audit Committee Charter
 
 Our Audit Committee Charter is available on our website at http://www.seabridgegold.net/governance.php, and is provided in Schedule A to the AIF, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated by reference herein.
