(De Beers) submitted applications for a Class A Land Use Permit and a Class A Water License for the proposed Snap Lake Diamond Project (SLDP) to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, for the development of a 3,000 tonne per day underground diamond mine with an operating life of 22 years. The proposed SLDP is approximately 220 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife, NWT and is situated on Snap Lake at the headwaters of the Lockhart River drainage system (Figure A). The mine footprint will house up to 350 people and will have infrastructure including a camp complex, mining related buildings such as a process plant, a paste plant, an explosives factory, various storage buildings, a water treatment plant, waste disposal systems, power plant and airstrip. Outside of the mine footprint are winter roads for access to the site and an esker south of the mine site that will be used for quarrying purposes.
