The Snap Lake Diamond Project, located in the Northwest Territories, is wholly owned by De Beers and, once constructed, will be the first entirely underground diamond mine in Canada. The Snap Lake Diamond Project was granted a Class A Water License by the Federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs on May 31, 2004. This paved the way for the Project to proceed. Construction began with the opening of the winter road in February 2005. Construction will take close to three years, and the mine is expected to open at the end of the third quarter of 2007.
