Fabled Copper Corp. (CSE:FABL) said the clean-up of a legacy site at its Muskwa Copper Project in northern British Columbia was completed in August, ahead of schedule and under budget.
The Muskwa Project comprises the Neil Property, the Toro Property and the Bronson Property, the latter being the location of the legacy exploration camps and related equipment left behind in 1971.
"We commend Tom Fulton, chair, director of the Northeastern British Columbia Wildlife Fund (NEBCWF), for spearheading the Gataga River Basin clean-up, which took place in August 2022,” Fabled Copper president and CEO Peter Hawley said in a statement.

We are honored to share responsibility for the stewardship of these places and all who inhabit them for our current and next seven generations and beyond," Hawley concluded.
