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 north, limestone, slate, siltstone and argillite of the Cambrian to Devonian Broadview Formation (Lardeau Group) are exposed.

Locally, phyllite hosts a 2 metre wide set of quartz veins hosting clotty pyrite and galena mineralization. The veins strike 320 degrees and dip 47 degrees to the northeast.

In 2011, a rock sample from a trench assayed 0.891 per cent lead and 55.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 32463).

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.
