The Nome occurrence is located near the headwaters and on the east side of Klawala Creek, a tributary of Keen Creek. The occurrence lies in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park, about 17 kilometres southwest of Kaslo, British Columbia.

Workings at the Nome occurrence include two adits about 61 vertical metres apart.

The underlying hostrock is hornblende potassium feldspar porphyritic granite of the Middle Jurassic Nelson batholith. Several basic dikes were also noted crosscutting granite.

Mineralization occupies a shear zone about 1.2 metres wide. The shear zone strikes 194 degrees and dips 48 degrees to the northwest. The lower adit explored this shear zone. A quartz vein hosted in this shear contained disseminated pyrite and minor galena and sphalerite were noted. The pyrite is partially oxidized near the surface.

Minor silver and gold values were obtained from 2 grab samples taken in 1987. Sample JL-273 yielded 29 grams per tonne silver, 0.11 gram per tonne gold, 0.56 per cent lead and 0.08 per cent zinc; the sample was a grab of vein material (Open File 1988-11).
