The Silver Hill occurrence is located on a hill side northwest of Hill Creek and approximately 1.2 kilometres southeast of Blind Bay on Upper Arrow Lake.

The area is underlain by limestone, slate, siltstone and argillite of the Upper Mississippian to Permian Milford Formation. To the southeast these have been intruded by fine-grained leucocratic intrusions, possibly of the Cretaceous Galena Bay stock.

Locally, a set of northwest dipping, foliation-parallel, sericite- altered quartz-barite veins, up to 30 centimetres wide, host pyrite, galena and molybdenite mineralization in a 10- metre thick, silicified, altered phyllite. Sulphide mineralization varies from disseminations to clots and coarse veins up to 5 millimetres thick. The altered phyllite unit is in fault contact with strongly limonitic sericite schists. The mineralized horizon has been traced for greater than 1 kilometre along a trend of approximately 280 degrees.

In 2006, a grab sample (SH001) from a former pit assayed 128.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.159 per cent molybdenum and 3.64 per cent lead, while another sample (SH003) yielded up to 0.519 per cent molybdenum with 22.5 grams per tonne silver and 0.84 per cent lead (Assessment Report 29169).

In 2011, underground chip sampling (55074) of the adit yielded up to 0.992 per cent lead, 0.154 per cent molybdenum and 35.6 grams per tonne silver over 2.0 metres (Assessment Report 32463).

Several past pits and at least two adits of unknown age are reported in the area. One of the adits is reported to be caved-in, while the other has been followed for 49 metres of drifting. In 2006, Island Arc Exploration Company completed a program of rock and soil sampling on the area as the Silver Hill claims. In 2010, Max Investments completed a 696.1 line-kilometre combined airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey. The following year, Noram Ventures completed a program of rock and soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys on the area.
