The Snow property is predominantly underlain by intermediate to acid volcaniclastic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group, Telkwa Formation. The Telkwa rocks consist mainly of red to maroon andesite breccia and tuff with intercalated green tuffs and breccia.
A coarse-grained quartz diorite stock intrudes the volcaniclastic rocks in the southwest corner of the claims. The stock is part of the Eocene Nanika Intrusions. Associated porphyritic granodiorite dikes ranging from tens of centimetres to several metres in width intrude both the volcaniclastics and the quartz diorite stock.
Pyritic envelopes of weak to moderate silicification are associated with the granodiorite dikes. Sparse quartz and quartz-carbonate veins are present within the silicified envelopes.
Snow Creek follows the trace of a north trending regional fault. Numerous splay faults and shear zones associated with the regional structure trend northeast to southeast. The dikes intrude along these splay faults.
Mineralization on the property consists of sulphide fracture fillings and sulphide-rich quartz-carbonate veins proximal to porphyritic granodiorite dikes. Pyrite is the dominant sulphide with minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. The mineralized veins and fractures trend northeast to southeast and dip steeply to the north and south. Three mineralized zones, the Island, Discovery and Peninsula zones, respectively, occur along the north-south trending regional fault and are exposed along a 600 metre section in Snow Creek.
Grab samples of sheared, pyritic fine breccia assayed up to 6.17 grams per tonne gold, 56.57 grams per tonne silver and 0.19 per cent zinc. Grab samples from mineralized quartz-carbonate veins assayed up to 4.53 grams per tonne gold, 84.5 grams per tonne silver, 0.72 per cent zinc, 0.39 per cent copper, and 0.29 per cent lead. A 1.0 metre wide chip sample taken from the Island showing assayed 0.625 grams per tonne gold, 12.3 grams per tonne silver, 0.021 per cent copper, 0.021 per cent lead and 0.086 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 18014).
