Surplus equipment from Snap Lake Mine valued at over $215,000 has found new life with two organizations in the Northwest Territories. A scoop-tram that was used to load ore underground, two underground Toyota multi-utility trucks, and several sets of heavy duty wheel chocks have been provided by De Beers to the Aurora College Mining Program. Combined, this equipment is worth more than $190,000. In addition, two modular construction trailers valued at $25,000 were donated to Habitat for Humanity NWT, for use at the organization’s ReStore located beside the City of Yellowknife’s solid waste management facility.
