The Manchester occurrence is located on the north side of Manchester Creek, a tributary of Perry Creek, at an elevation of approximately 1650 metres.
The area is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the middle Creston Formation intruded at their (faulted) contact with Kitchener Formation by diorite sills of the Moyie Intrusions; all these units belong to the mid-Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup.
Locally, a quartz vein hosts silver mineralization. A former adit, possibly related to placer gold mining, is reported across the creek to the south.
In 1979, a 1.2-metre chip sample (3376B) assayed 15.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 7723).
