Sasquatch Resources has proposed a remediation program at Mount Sicker, British Columbia, targeting over 300,000 tonnes of sulphide-bearing waste rock from historical mining. The plan aims to remove acid-generating materials, improve environmental conditions, and recover residual metals like copper, gold, silver, and zinc.

Controlled ore-sorting trials indicate over 95% of contaminants could be removed, significantly reducing acid-generation risk. The approach uses mechanical sorting without chemical additives and aims to stabilize the land and create local employment. If successful, Mount Sicker could exemplify a new model for legacy site remediation and mineral recovery across North America.
