Monitor the September 28, 2026 deadline for TSKLH's submissions to the BCEAO. An adverse finding that the project was not 'substantially started' could reset permitting and delay construction, increasing cost and timeline risk for the KSM project. The withdrawal of Gitxsan support adds political pressure but does not directly block the project.

Executive Summary
Seabridge Gold reported that the Gitxsan Huwilp Government (GHG) has withdrawn its 2013 letter of support for the KSM Project's environmental assessment and called for meaningful consultation with the Tsetsaut Skii km La Ha (TSKLH). This follows a June 8, 2026 BC Supreme Court order requiring the BC Environmental Assessment Office to further consult TSKLH on whether the project was 'substantially started,' with a September 28, 2026 deadline for TSKLH submissions. While the company frames this as a procedural step, the withdrawal of support from a key Indigenous government introduces regulatory and reputational risk to the KSM project timeline.
Key Facts
- Gitxsan Huwilp Government withdrew its September 4, 2013 letter of support for the KSM Project environmental assessment.
- BC Supreme Court on June 8, 2026 found the BCEAO failed to consult TSKLH on the 'substantially started' determination and ordered a 90-day consultation process.
- TSKLH has until September 28, 2026 to provide written submissions to the BCEAO on whether the KSM Project was substantially started.
- TSKLH is seeking consultation specifically on the tailings management facility (TMF).
- Seabridge has invested more than $1.4 billion to date in the KSM Project, including over $650 million since 2021.
- Seabridge has awarded approximately $515 million in contracts to Indigenous-affiliated businesses over the past four years.
Financial Impact
No direct financial impact disclosed; the KSM project has over $1.4 billion invested to date, and the consultation process could delay or alter project timelines, affecting future capital deployment.
Risk Factors
- TSKLH's September 28 submission could lead the BCEAO to reverse its 'substantially started' determination, delaying or halting the KSM project.
- Loss of Gitxsan support may complicate future permitting and community relations, increasing regulatory and legal costs.
- Ongoing territorial disputes between TSKLH, Tahltan Nation, and Nisga'a Nation create multi-party consultation complexity.
