Snowfield and Brucejack are about 30km away from the highway and a proposed power line and there seems to be plenty of water around.

“The mine site is located west of the leach plant and will be accessible by an upgraded exploration road which will provide a year-round access to the mine site for the transport of the materials and workers.
The Brucejack leach plant site will be accessible by a planned permanent road constructed between a junction with Highway 37 and the leach plant site.
Highway 37, a major road access to northern BC, passes approximately 8 km from the Brucejack leach plant site (Figure 1.3).
At the mine site, a crushing facility will be designed to crush the mineralized material from the proposed mine. The mill will produce bulk gold-silver concentrate.”

“At the production rate of 1,500 t/d, the operation load is estimated to be approximately 4 MW±10%. The load will be divided between the mine site located near Brucejack Lake and the leach plant site located near Highway 37.
Power for the mine site will be provided by four diesel generators, each rated 1.5 MW. Two diesel generators, each rated 1.5 MW will provide power for the leach plant. This will provide N-1 reliability. Power will be generated and distributed at 4.16 kV. Large loads, above 200 kW, will be fed directly at 4.16 kV. Smaller loads will be fed at 600 V. A heat recovery system will be installed to recover the heat generated from the diesel generators for building heating at both the sites.”

More details can be found in that PEA of course.

Also: “In May 2011, Pretivm announced the signing of a Mutual Confidentiality and Cooperation Agreement and a Mutual Access Agreement with Seabridge Gold Inc., whose KSM project shares a common boundary with Snowfield. The Mutual Confidentiality and Cooperation Agreement provides for, amongst other things, the completion of an engineering study examining the economics of combining Pretivm's Snowfield project and Seabridge's KSM project into one operation. The study is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011.”

More details to come for sure.

Eskay Creek mine is also not all that far away and that operated until 2008.
