Strongbow's nickel exploration strategy is focused on investigating the southern portions of the Snowbird Tectonic Zone (SBTZ) for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co deposits. The SBTZ is a major crustal scale structure that represents an underexplored region prospective for magmatic sulphide nickel deposits. This northeast-trending structure can be traced for over 2,800 km from the Rocky Mountains to Hudson Bay. There is evidence from regional geological and geophysical datasets that the SBTZ has been intruded by numerous mafic-ultramafic rocks. Some of these intrusions are known to host nickel-copper sulphide mineralization, including the mineralized zones currently being drilled at Strongbow's Nickel King property. Other magmatic Ni deposits located along the SBTZ include the past producing Rankin Inlet Nickel mine and the advanced Ferguson Lake Ni-Cu-Co-PGE deposit in Nunavut, as well as the Axis Lake deposit in Saskatchewan.

Strongbow also maintains a 100% interest in approximately 900,000 acres of mineral claims and permits located along a 240 km strike length of the southern SBTZ, straddling the Saskatchewan-Northwest Territories border. These properties are collectively part of Strongbow's Snowbird nickel project.
