The Silver Bow occurrence is situated in Glacier National Park near Copper Peaks, about 6 kilometres north of the Flat Creek Station of the Canadian Pacific Railway, 56 kilometres west of Golden.

A quartz-carbonate vein, 0.3 to 0.9 metre wide, is mineralized with chalcopyrite and bornite; hematite and malachite are also evident. The vein dips 45 degrees to the west. Hostrocks are Lower Paleozoic talcose and chloritic schists which strike northwest and dip northeast.

In 1896, workings consisted of 2 adits, 27 and 21 metres long respectively. In 1894, 16 tonnes of ore was shipped and yielded assays of 66 per cent lead, $25 in gold and 274.2 grams per tonne silver (Geological Survey of Canada Annual Report 1894, page 167S).
