The two groups of fifteen crown granted mineral claims known as the Three Jays group of eight claims and the Monitor group of seven claims (the “Crown Grants”) along with the surrounding eighteen cell mineral claims are collectively known as the Nahmint Property (“Nahmint” or the “Property”) which together forms a large, contiguous, early stage copper +/-gold-silver-zinc-molybdenum-tellurium exploration property located along sheltered tidewaters of southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Mineral rights to the roughly 8,000 hectare property are held 100% by Nahminto Resources Ltd. The Property geology consists of a flat-lying sequence of layered rocks of Triassic to Jurassic age, including Karmutsen volcanics, Quatsino limestone, Parson Bay volcanics and sediments, and LeMare Lake volcanics. These layered rocks have been intruded and domed from beneath by a batholith or large sill of Jurassic Island Intrusive granodiorite and related stocks and dikes. Steeply-dipping, northwest-trending faults have deformed and offset the layered and intrusive rocks both vertically and horizontally.

This represents the ideal geological setting on Vancouver Island for porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum and related copper, iron and gold skarn deposits.

The Property hosts a continuum of styles of both metallic and industrial mineralization in past producers, prospects and showings documented in British Columbia MINFILE, or recently discovered and as of yet undocumented, as follows:

.. Copper-zinc-silver-gold-cobalt-tellurium-magnetite bearing Copper/Iron Skarn occurrences Monitor (092C007), Happy John (092C008), Defiance (092C009), Silver King (092C061), Black Prince (092F086), Sunshine (092F129),Three Jays (092F140), Ocean Wave (092F142), Orphan Boy (092F209) and Mark Murray .. Sedimentary Limestone occurrence Hecate Mountain (092F411)

The Property hosts three historic past producers of direct-shipping, high grade coppersilver- gold ore which yielded a total of 3,274 tonnes averaging 8.15% copper, 34.4 g/t silver and 0.61 g/t gold.

These consist of the following occurrences:

.. Three Jays produced 1,981 tonnes @ 7.52% copper, 38.0 g/t silver and 0.97 g/t gold from 1898 to 1902
.. Monitor produced 1,288 tonnes @ 9.08% copper, 28.8 g/t silver and 0.05 g/t gold from 1900 to 1918
.. Sunshine produced 5 tonnes @ 17.4% copper and 43.6 g/t silver in 1916

Snowfield has optioned the property, and may earn a 90% interest over five years.
