Divers continue to comb the waters of Bernick Lake in search of two men believed to have been on board a downed helicopter.

 

So far searchers have been unable to locate the craft, which failed to arrive at Points North Landing on Sunday.

 

A spokesperson for the RCMP says the lake where the helicopter is believed to have gone down is extremely remote and communication is difficult.

 

Search planes from the department of national defense reported seeing debris in and around Bernick Lake on Monday.

 

The site in question is about sixteen kilometers south of the Cigar Lake uranium mine.
