Overview
The project is wholly owned by Anglo American plc. In May 2024, Anglo American announced a slowdown in the project's development to support balance sheet deleveraging. This has resulted in the Production Shaft being placed on care and maintenance, while tunnelling and the sinking of the service shaft continue at a reduced rate. First product is expected in 2027.
Production
The mine is being built with a capacity to produce 13 million tonnes of polyhalite ore per year.
Processing
The extracted polyhalite ore will be transported via the underground tunnel to a Materials Handling Facility at Wilton, Teesside. There, the ore will be granulated to create the final fertiliser product, which will be marketed as POLY4. The process involves a 1:1 mined ore to product ratio with minimal waste and no chemical inputs.
Equipment
The mine will have two deep shafts, a service shaft and a production shaft, extending to a depth of approximately 1,600 metres. A 37-kilometre underground Mineral Transport System (MTS), a tunnel containing a conveyor belt, will move the ore from the mine to the processing facility. As of October 2023, the tunnel had reached over 25 km. The project uses innovative shaft boring roadheader (SBR) machines for sinking the deep shafts.

Production
Over a 33-year mine life, the average annual metal production is estimated at 1.0 million ounces of gold, 178 million pounds of copper, and 3.0 million ounces of silver. The 2022 PFS estimates average annual production of 1.03 million ounces of gold, 178 million pounds of copper, 3.0 million ounces of silver, and 4.2 million pounds of molybdenum.
Processing
The proposed project includes an ore preparation complex at the mine site and a process plant and tailings management facility in the Treaty valley. These two main areas will be connected by twin 23-km-long tunnels, known as the Mitchell-Treaty Tunnels (MTT). A separate molybdenum concentrate and gold-silver doré will be produced at the processing facility.
Expansion
Construction has advanced on the Treaty Creek Terminal switching station to connect KSM to renewable power. Seabridge Gold is advancing towards a partnership for the KSM project, having completed site visits with three joint venture finalists in the third quarter of 2025.
