Hello Ed In reply to your inquiry on the WSP thread. As you can appreciate the NWT is a huge area with significant differences in depth and extent of winter temperatures, snow pack depths, water body size, depths, salinity and flow rates, all of which affect the depth of ice. Because of these variables I can't give you a black and white answer but if I may, I'll use a local example. There is a short ice road built every year across Yellowknife Bay on Great Slave Lake. It links Yellowknife with the nearby settlement of Detah on the eastern shore. The road traverses fresh water depths ranging from 0 to 70 meters with a very modest water flow rate resulting from the contribution of the Yellowknife River at the head of the Bay. Typically, in the dead of winter (January) and after some period of -38 degree centegrade temperatures, the ice under the road bed will reach a depth of 1.8 to 2.4 meters (6 to 8 feet). However, where the snowpack remains uncleared, assuming a typical year, the ice may only be .6 meters (2 feet). Hope this answers your question? Regards P.S. For what its worth, I think there might be a number of other diamond plays worth mentioning in any review of this industry. Perhaps the most intrigueing might be GMD on the VSE. You may find their most recent NR on the CNW of interest.
