Isn't it science that keeps the Geologists in business whether it be metals, minerals or oil exploration. And, interestingly, it's the science of the area in and around Mud Lake that keeps SNO looking. I urge you to go back and read the two news releases I have quoted below. I have included excerpts from each.

News Release (NR 07-25) - September 19, 2007 - Diamond Indicator Mineral Results

"Overburden Drilling Management of Nepean, Ontario recovered the till sample indicator minerals. R. L. Barnett Consulting Inc. of London, Ontario undertook electron microprobe analyses of polished mineral grains. Roberta Flemming, Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario undertook crystal structure analyses of green garnets recovered from the samples. The electron microprobe and crystal structure analyses work reported herein establish a potential for the kimberlite source of the indicator minerals to be diamondiferous.

The latest results add to the data of previously reported analyses of indicator mineral grains collected in a systematic surface sampling program over an area approximately 2000 metres by 1000 metres northeast and up ice from Mud Lake. In this sampling area there are several sample sites with elevated counts of kimberlitic indicator minerals and a high percentage of pyrope garnets noted for having kelyphitic rims suggesting a proximal source. (A Kelyphitic rim is a thin outer coating around a pyrope garnet that does not survive lengthy transportation, due to glaciation, from the source kimberlite)."

In SNO's May 9, 2008 news release notice that part of this summer’s exploration program, under Jennifer Burgess, is to continue looking in the 2 sq. Km area northeast of Mud Lake.

NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY MARKETWIRE May 9, 2008 Snowfield Development Corp.: Exploration Update

Excerpt

"The summer exploration program is focused on:

1) Discovering the source of a known indicator mineral dispersion in an area to

the north of Mud Lake;

2) Identifying and testing new targets from the interpretation of the ongoing compilation of structural, geophysical and geochemical data."

Continuing exploration of SNO's property based on these indicator minerals may lead to the source and a significant discovery. Patience and continued funding is the key. I'm still in and holding.
