Snowfield Development Corp. ("Snowfield" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SNO)
today announces it has finished its Mud Lake Kimberlite delineation and sampling
program and is preparing for an aggressive summer exploration program. The Ticho
Diamond Project is located 50 km southeast of Yellowknife, NT and is comprised
of 33,853 acres that are within 4 km of the Drybones Bay Kimberlite at their
western extent.


The delineation drill program was undertaken to test the Mud Lake Kimberlite
complex for spatial continuity and the potential for different diamond
populations between the different sills identified from earlier drilling. A
total of 38 holes were drilled, most on a grid pattern, intersecting the main
upper and lower sill, with numerous stringers in many drill holes. The area
extent of the sill complex has been increased from 350 x 300 m based on previous
year's drilling to 700 x 300 m. Interpretation of drill intercepts is underway
to determine the nature and orientation of the sills. Samples from each sill
were submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories
accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard by the Standards Council of Canada as a
testing laboratory for diamond analysis using caustic fusion. Results are
expected in the month ahead. In addition, samples from both sills have been
submitted for indicator mineral analysis, to assess the diamond potential of the
Mud Lake Kimberlite complex.


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.


Planned summer activities include: a detailed airborne magnetic survey; till
sample collection both up ice of known geochemical dispersions and targeted down
ice of geophysical anomalies, prospecting areas of interest and ground-truthing
existing anomalies. A short drill program is planned for the late summer/fall,
to drill test any targets generated from the summer program. The 2008
exploration program is under the supervision of consulting geologist Jennifer
Burgess, P. Geol., a qualified person under NI 43-101 who has approved the
technical content of this News Release (NR08-14).
