Snap Lake featured in Wired Magazine
We’ve been really fortunate to work with so many interesting clients. Actually, that’s one of the things I enjoy most about running our own business. Meeting people, learning their businesses and working with them to help them succeed.
We’ve worked with Tli Cho Landtran Transport for nearly ten years developing many of their marketing initiatives and acting as a liaison between Tli Cho Landtran and Original Productions. Original Productions is responsible for developing the wildly popular series Ice Road Truckers for the History Channel.

Tli Cho Landtran builds winter roads (ice roads), transports highly needed supplies to Northern diamond mines and offers regularly scheduled, year-round transportation services between points in North America and the Northwest Territories. Part of their core customer base are the Northern diamond mines including BHP Billiton, DeBeers and Diavik. I was really thrilled when I ran across three articles specifically written about the DeBeers Snap Lake project in the 16.12 issue of Wired magazine. Tli Cho Landtran has been responsible for helping to build the winter road and hauling massive loads of equipment and materials to the Snap Lake mine site. They’re great articles on the project and demonstrate the process of pulling these precious stones from the earth–worth checking out!
