Air Access
[edit]The statement that the mine was "...only accessible by small charter aircraft equipped with floats or skis, or larger charter aircraft flying to the south shore of the lake, followed by a boat journey" may have been true in 1962, the date of the cited reference - but when silver and cooper extraction took place under IU International/Echo Bay Mines, air access was by a Convair that landed on a strip connected to the settlement by a short bus ride; and, in the winter, by a Hercules that landed on a strip plowed onto the frozen surface of Great Bear Lake.
I wish I could give you a cite other than my memories!
