The Mountain Scenery occurrence is located at 2012 metres elevation, near the headwaters of Aylwin Creek in Eight Mile Basin. Silverton, British Columbia is located 8.25 kilometres to the north.

Workings on the Mountain Scenery occurrence consist of a shallow shaft and several opencuts. In 1935, the property was owned by F.F Liebescher and H.C. Wheeler. By 1935, no work had been done on the property for many years.

The Mountain Scenery occurrence is hosted in potassium feldspar porphyritic granite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson intrusions, adjacent to an outlier of Lower Jurassic Rossland Group metavolcanics and Early Jurassic subvolcanic equivalents. Lithologies comprising the Rossland Group at the Silver Nugget occurrence include pyritic quartzite, augite porphyry, greenstone and argillite. These rocks have been tentatively correlated with the Elise Formation. Early Jurassic subvolcanic equivalents include quartz latite porphyry and feldspar porphyry. For a more detailed description of the geology of this outlier refer to the Willa occurrence (082FNW071).

The occurrence is a 1.5 metre wide shear zone crosscutting coarse grained porphyritic granite of the Nelson intrusions. The zone strikes 065 degrees. Galena and sphalerite in a brecciated quartz-calcite-siderite gangue comprises mineralization.
