The Snow occurrence is located about 3.8 kilometres northwest of Tenakihi Lakes, approximately 69 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

At the showing, fractured argillite and tuffaceous siltstone of the Upper Triassic Plughat Mountain Formation (Takla Group), hosts an epidote-calcite vein up to 15 centimetres in width. The vein contains from 1 to 3 per cent disseminated chalcopyrite and is stained with malachite and azurite. Malachite and azurite staining also occurs on the wallrocks. In 1991, a grab sample taken at this showing assayed 0.88 per cent copper (Open File 1992-11, Map Number 32, Sheet 2).

The showing was discovered during the 1991 regional mapping program of the British Columbia Geological Survey.
