Seven survivors of a fatal plane crash in northwestern Manitoba were in stable condition in several different hospitals on Monday.

Health officials said the men, who work for Dumas Mine Contracting, were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries in hospitals in The Pas, Thompson, Flin Flon and Winnipeg.

The pilot of the Cessna 208 air-craft was killed when the plane crashed Sunday just a few kilometres from the airstrip near the town of Snow Lake.

"A Cessna 208B, operated by Gogal Air Services Ltd., departed Snow Lake and crashed shortly after departure," Transpart Canada said in a preliminary report.

The RCMP have not released any names. The Transportation Safety Board and Transport Canada are investigating.
