The Silverfox 217 occurrence is located about 37 kilometres south of Cranbrook in an area underlain by sedimentary strata of the Helikian Creston Formation, Purcell Supergroup.

Exploration in 2015 revealed an area of dolomitic siltstone with green argillite containing some disseminated chalcopyrite and grey copper in sandier beds. Sample TK15-213 graded 0.12 per cent copper, 4.8 grams per tonne silver, and 0.032 gram per tonne gold (Assessment Report 35769).

In 2015, Kootenay Silver Inc. continued mapping in the Jake Ridge (082GSW109), KRL (Jake (082GSW070) and Snake), Oke Creek areas; the Middle block which included Yahk Mountain to Haller Creek; and the South block which included the Gilnockie (creek) to North Ward (082GSW089) area (Assessment Report 36022). Prospecting and mapping identified some alteration zones where sufficient outcrop enabled recognition to the north at Silver Pipe (082GSW058), KRL (Sarah, 082GSW087), and Jake Ridge (082GSW109). Copper mineralization was previously recognized at Jake Ridge (082GSW109), Yahk Mountain (082GSW072), Haller Creek north (082GSW103), and Ward Creek (082GSW105). Also in 2015, Kootenay Silver collected 229 rock samples and conducted prospecting. Prospecting was focused on three areas during the program, from north to south they were the Jake Ridge (082GSW109), Yahk Ridge (082GSW072), and Ward Creek (082GSW105) areas (Assessment Report 35769 and 36064). Several small copper showings were documented and subsequently added to MINFILE (see 082GSW099 to 110).

Refer to the Yahk Mountain Zone (082GSW072) for further details of the Silver Fox property.
