Bull case
If Seabridge can effectively address the concerns raised by the Gitxsan Huwilp Government and engage in meaningful consultations, it could restore investor confidence and stabilize its stock price.
Bear case
On the other hand, ongoing opposition from local governments and First Nations could hinder Seabridge's ability to move forward with its projects, leading to further declines in stock price and increased uncertainty for investors.
