C-GYTY, a Hughes 369D, with a pilot and two passengers, was transporting mine samples to a remote site about 400 NM northwest of Iqaluit. The pilot was attempting to land at the site, located on the top of a hill, when for unknown reasons, control was lost and the helicopter tumbled down the hill to the base. There were apparently no witnesses, but people in the area saw smoke near the landing area and after reaching the site, found the helicopter on its side at the bottom of the hill, burning. The pilot and one passenger received fatal injuries and the third occupant has been transported to hospital in Iqaluit with serious burns. TSB is sending a team of investigators to the site.
