The Redhill occurrence is located at 1860 metres elevation above sea level near the head of Mobbs Creek, 3.5 kilometres northwest of Tenderfoot Lake, in the Slocan Mining Division.

Regionally, the area lies within the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia. The occurrence is within the Kootenay Arc, a curving belt of highly deformed metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks which includes the Upper Proterozoic Horsethief Creek Group, the Upper Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Hamill Group, the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation, and the Paleozoic Lardeau and Milford groups. The volcano-sedimentary sequence is intruded by numerous Paleozoic to Mesozoic granitoid plutons.

The Tenderfoot Lake area is mainly underlain by the Mesozoic Mobbs Creek and Rapid Creek quartz monzonite stocks and the Early Jurassic Kuskanax monzonite batholith to the west. Grey quartz mica schist of the Broadview Formation along with marble, micaceous schist and amphibolite of the Paleozoic Milford Group form tightly folded rafts between the stocks and the batholith. The rocks have undergone contact and regional metamorphism to middle or upper greenschist facies (Geological Survey of Canada Bulletin 193).

No geological description could be located for this occurrence, however, it is described as a vein carrying high zinc values and as much as 2400 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1905). The occurrence is probably hosted within the Kuskanax monzonite batholith.
