in Washington State, the North Cascades has a lot of interest to a lot of different groups. I spent 30 years traipsing out & about the environs, did a little technical stuff with the Seattle/ Everett Mountaineers too...the place is stunningly gorgeous. the thing is if you view any map, just about the whole of it is protected one way or another, as there is the North Cascades NP (American Alps) terragalleria.com & a few large wilderness areas entwining the Cascade spine from the Canadian border all the way to I-90. there are thousands of trails probably just about all limited to foot/ horse traffic. major drainages exist every dozen- 20 miles or so & with all the feeder streams, the salmon issue is paramount. Most of my effort involved the Glacier Peak Wilderness livingwilderness.com if people would see this as I have (very few people) it most certainly qualifies for park status (have spent time at Miners Ridge/ Image Lake <just west of Holden, a religious camp> & can say it was ok but there are quite a few more beautiful places). Mazama, fairly affluent, is just east of the Pasayten Wilderness & not far from Wintrop...a town with a western motif.
if you recall a scene from the movie 'Deer Hunter' the red deer hunt was filmed up by Mt Baker, just west of the park boundary.
I highly doubt any mines will be permitted anywhere in the area much less discussed...it won't happen.
