Vancouver, British Columbia, June 7, 2012: Golden Predator Corp. ("Golden Predator")
(TSX:GPD), and Seabridge Gold Inc. ("Seabridge") (TSX:SEA; NYSE:SA) are pleased to announce
that they have signed definitive agreements pursuant to which Golden Predator and Seabridge will
contribute an industry-leading portfolio of US gold assets to Wolfpack Gold Corp. ("Wolfpack") (the
“Transactions”). Golden Predator and Seabridge both seek to focus on their advanced Canadian assets and as such
are contributing select US gold properties to Wolfpack to create value from undervalued assets and
create a premier gold exploration and development company with its principal projects in Nevada,
USA.
The board of directors of Wolfpack, at the closing of the Transactions, will consist of Rudi Fronk,
William E. Threlkeld, William M. Sheriff, John W. Legg, David Schmidt, Dan T. Gosselin and Nathan
A. Tewalt, who is also serving as Wolfpack’s Chief Executive Officer.
Wolfpack Property Portfolio
Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreements, Golden Predator and Seabridge will contribute 5
advanced stage properties, 3 development properties and a portfolio of exploration stage properties
collectively comprising over 29,000 hectares of land, to Wolfpack, with Golden Predator's Adelaide
Property and Seabridge's Castle Black Rock Property being the most advanced. Please refer to the
news release dated June 22, 2011 for a more detailed description of the properties being contributed.
It is anticipated that the closing date of the Transactions will be on or before July 15, 2012.
Transactions with Golden Predator
Golden Predator has agreed to grant to Wolfpack an option to purchase the leasehold interest of
Golden Predator Mines US Inc. (“GPMUS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden Predator, in the
Adelaide and Tuscarora Properties located in Humboldt and Elko Counties, Nevada. To exercise this
option, Wolfpack will issue to GPMUS an aggregate minimum of 12,500,000 common shares
("Wolfpack Shares") over a three-year period, including 1,500,000 Wolfpack Shares to be issued on
closing. The actual number of Wolfpack Shares to be issued to GPMUS following closing will be2
subject to upward adjustment, based on future value protection formulae, and hence these share
amounts should be viewed as the minimum number of Wolfpack Shares to be issued to maintain and
exercise the option.
In addition, certain subsidiaries of Golden Predator will sell to Wolfpack their interests in 11 additional
properties (collectively the "Golden Predator Secondary Properties"), including the Golden Ridge
Project, for 4,500,000 Wolfpack Shares. GPMUS will also grant Wolfpack an option to acquire its

(a) an option to purchase its leasehold interest in the Castle Black Rock Property, located in
Nevada. To exercise this option, Wolfpack will issue to Seabridge an aggregate minimum of
7,000,000 Wolfpack Shares over a three-year period, including 840,000 Wolfpack Shares to
be issued on closing;
(b) an option to purchase the interest of 5555 Gold Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seabridge,
(“5Gold”) in the Four Mile Basin Property located in Nevada. To exercise this option,

3,000,000 Wolfpack Shares over a three-year period, including 360,000 Wolfpack Shares to
be issued upon closing; and

In addition, certain subsidiaries of Seabridge will sell to Wolfpack their interests in 25 additional
properties (collectively the "Seabridge Secondary Properties"), including the Golden Arrow South
Project, for 4,500,000 Wolfpack Shares.
William M. Sheriff, the Chairman and CEO of Golden Predator, is entitled to 10% of all payments
made with respect to the disposition of the Four Mile Basin Property, the Liberty Springs Property
and certain of the Seabridge Secondary Properties. As a result, Wolfpack has agreed to deliver to
Mr. Sheriff 10% of the consideration payable by Wolfpack (including any royalties) to Seabridge’s
subsidiaries, in respect of such properties pursuant to the Transactions.
The actual number of Wolfpack Shares to be issued to Seabridge and Mr. Sheriff following
closing in respect of the options related to the Castle Black Rock Property, the Four Mile Basin
Property and the Liberty Springs Property will be subject to upward adjustment, based on future
value protection formulae, and hence, these share amounts should be viewed as the minimum
number of Wolfpack Shares to be issued to maintain and exercise these options.

Property, the Liberty Springs Property, Golden Predator Secondary Properties and Seabridge
