The K.C.M. East occurrence is located on a western ridge of Snass Mountain, approximately 600 metres south of Punch Bowl Lake.

The area is comprised of a thick section of sandstone, with lesser siltstone, tuffaceous argillite and lapilli tuff of the Early to Middle Jurassic Dewdney Creek Formation (Ladner Group). The beds strike north and dip 60 to 70 degrees west.

Locally, mineralized sandstone and shale host gold and silver values. Mineralization was not described but is assumed to be similar to the nearby Punch Bowl West (MINFILE 092HSE145) occurrence. In 1984, two grab samples yielded 0.170 and 0.240 gram per tonne gold with 5.9 and 7.0 grams per tonne silver, respectively (Assessment Report 14693).

The area was originally prospected in the 1930’s and 1940’s and some placer gold was noted in Punch Bowl Creek. During 1984 through 1987, Kam Creek Mines completed programs of prospecting, rock and soil sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Punch Bowl and K.C.M. claims. In 1988, Locke Rich Minerals completed a program of rock and soil sampling, geological mapping and minor trenching on the area.
