Recovering value
from historic mine
waste.
Sasquatch Resources evaluates waste rock opportunities across British Columbia, turning liabilities into value. In our mind, remediation is the business model and not the afterthought.

A century of waste, left on the mountain.
Historic mines at Mount Sicker initially only shipped ore grading above 8% copper. Everything below that cut-off was left on the mountain in massive piles.
That ‘waste’, more than 400,000 tonnes of it, still contains copper, gold, silver and zinc. It is acid-generating, and for over a century has leached into the surrounding environment and kept vegetation from returning.
Small footprint. Short timeline. Clean exit.
No mill, no tailings pond, no decade-long permitting path. Each site follows the same three steps.
Map & sample
Grid sampling, channel sampling and backpack drilling establish what the waste piles and near-surface mineralization actually hold.
Sort & recover
No chemical, closed-loop crushing and ore-sorting units work on site to separate high-value material from barren rock. No tailings infrastructure is required.
Remediate & restore
Acid-generating rock is removed, open shafts and adits are filled and made safe, and ground that has been bare for a century can finally return to nature.
From liability to landscape.
Mount Sicker waste-rock sites, before recovery and after the ground is restored. Drag to compare.

A century-old liability, made whole.

Mount Sicker at a glance.
Our flagship near Duncan, and the proving ground for a model to extend across BC and beyond.
One model, across all of BC and beyond.
Mount Sicker represents an opportunity to demonstrate a practical, responsible solution that can be applied to legacy mine challenges across not only Vancouver Island, but all of BC and beyond. Potential environmental and economic impact extends far beyond a single project.
