# Sasquatch Resources Provides Mount Sicker Permitting Update and Early Exploration Results from Alberni Claims *2026-07-24T07:00:00-04:00* Sasquatch Resources Provides Mount Sicker Permitting Update and Early Exploration Results from Alberni Claims Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 24, 2026) - **SASQUATCH RESOURCES CORP. (CSE: SASQ)**("**Sasquatch**" or the "**Company**") is pleased to provide updates surrounding permitting for the Mount Sicker legacy mine site land rehabilitation project, as well as recent results for exploration work completed at its recently acquired Alberni Claims, including from the Golden Dome, Golden Eagle and Star of the West areas within those claims. Highlights include: - The Company has received comments from the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals regarding its Mount Sicker Project Notice of Work application and has now provided responses, with a final site closure report from Okane Consultants in process. - Early exploration results have been received from 3 areas of the Company's newest property, the Alberni Claims, including: - A grid outcrop and float sample program from an area of mineralized logging road at Golden Eagle averaging (arithmetic mean) 1.62% copper; - A waste rock grab sample from 1 of 3 historical mining waste piles located to date at Star of the West returned 7.7 g/t gold and 2.03% copper; - A potentially large system at Golden Dome has been observed up to 3km in length, 500m in width, and with an elevation change of 350m from one end to the other. 53 samples taken over approximately 2500m from frequent outcrops as well as 50 samples taken on a grid pattern from an area of logging road near the middle of the system yielded significant values for gold, copper, silver and molybdenum that warrant further testing. Details and full results for each of these highlighted events follow the CEO quote. Peter Smith, the Sasquatch CEO, commented, "First and foremost, we are a legacy mine site rehabilitation company, and our focus is to identify such sites where historical mine operations have left behind both economic levels of valuable minerals in waste rock as well as a variety of corresponding environmental hazards. Recently added to this general mandate is to identify areas where logging roads have inadvertently been constructed through sulphide mineralized outcrops. The approach to both scenarios is essentially the same - evaluate the grade, volume and metallurgy of sulphide-bearing mine waste and, if found to be potentially economic, proceed to crush and ore-sort the material, which should alleviate ongoing environmental issues while creating a high grade concentrate which can be sold. This approach allows the Company to add critical and other minerals to the supply chain without the need to create permanent mining and processing infrastructure, while simultaneously allowing us to address other hazards left unaddressed from past activities, including acid run-off, open mine shafts and the like. To this end, we have added a number of properties to Mount Sicker, our flagship project, that serve as our prospective project pipeline, including Copper Road, Blue Grouse, Santana, Slesse, and the project discussed here, the Alberni Claims. Given that all these prospects are either historical mines and/or in areas of known mineralization, they are also evaluated at a high level for their hard-rock potential. This is essentially the Company's "secondary" focus, however, we plan to spend the majority of our time and resources on the rehabilitation mandate, identifying and permitting waste rock processing opportunities. Our plan with projects that demonstrate substantial "discovery" potential is to seek joint venture partners or optionors with proven abilities in the development of mining prospects." **Permitting ** Sasquatch's most advanced project is Mount Sicker, held since 2022, and the site of significant historical mining (mostly occurring between 1895 and 1915). Over the past few years the Company has taken steps to ascertain the approximate overall volume of waste rock and the corresponding grades for gold, silver, copper and zinc within the waste rock (see March 27, 2024 news release), has conducted testing to assess the potential for ore sorting and recovery of higher grade waste (see October 9, 2024 news release), and has initiated engagement with the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals (the "Ministry") to explore permitting for the removal of the high grade waste and reclamation of the site (see May 27, 2025 news release). The Company recently received comments regarding its ongoing Notice of Work application from the Ministry, and many of those comments have been addressed and resubmitted. However, many of the Ministry questions pertain to a detailed reclamation and mine-site closure report by Okane Consultants ("Okane") which is currently in process. The detailed Okane report underway is a follow up to a more general report alre
