A federal judge ordered a stay on the implementation of EPA's...
Seabridge Gold Inc. July 10 said it is has nearly completed a surface sampling and geophysics to establish locations for an 8,500-meter drill program about to get underway at its Iskut gold project in northwestern British Columbia and drilling.
