What is it... and  what   width of  intersection......... sounds  like they  found something  unexpected!

Snowfield Development to resume Ticho drilling Nov. 16

2007-11-07 15:37 ET - News Release

Mr. Robert Paterson reports

PROGRESS UPDATE

Snowfield Development Corp. is providing an update on its progress at the Ticho project, located 55 kilometres southeast of Yellowknife, NWT.

Bulk sample

As has previously been disclosed in the company's news release in Stockwatch, Snowfield has successfully extracted 500 tonnes of kimberlite as a bulk sample to assist the company in determining the economic viability of its discovery. The kimberlite is crushed, bagged and sealed under industry standard protocols. The kimberlite is awaiting onward shipping to DeBeers Canada Exploration Ltd. dense media separation plant located in Grande Prairie, Alta. DeBeers will process the 500-tonne sample at no cost to, and with no obligation from, Snowfield.

Snowfield had originally contracted Northern Transportation Co. Ltd. (NTCL) to provide barge transportation for the 500 tonnes of kimberlite from the Ticho project to Hay River, NWT. However, after missing three promised arrival dates for its barge and tug at the Ticho project, NTCL belatedly informed Snowfield on Monday, Nov. 5, 2007, that it was unable to fulfill its commitment to the company.

Snowfield has now contracted Great Slave Helicopter Ltd. to provide suitable aircraft to heli-lift the first 100 tonnes of kimberlite from the project area to a nearest road located approximately 25 kilometres to the north. Helicopter transportation will begin on Friday, Nov. 9, 2007, and should be completed by Monday, Nov. 12, 2007.

The kimberlite bags will be loaded directly on to B-Train trucks, contracted by Snowfield, for onward shipping to Grande Prairie. It is expected that trucking will be completed by Nov. 20, 2007. The company has received confirmation from DeBeers that they anticipate being able to start processing the first 100 tonnes in early December, 2007.

Drilling

Both of Snowfield's drill crews are currently on scheduled time off but drilling will resume on Nov. 16, 2007, with both drills operational. Ground magnatometer surveys are currently being conducted to locate and refine additional drill targets.

A sample of core from hole No. Swamp07-01 has been sent to a laboratory for 32-element assay. Results are expected in approximately 10 days.
