The Hozameen fault traverses north-northwest separating the low greenschist facies rocks of the Permian-Jurassic Hozameen Complex to the west, from Lower-Middle Jurassic Ladner Group sediments to the east. Late Cretaceous quartz diorite stocks intrude the sediments along the east side of the fault.

The Silver Daisy showing lies just west of the Hozameen fault and is underlain by Hozameen Complex rocks comprised mainly of greenstone, chert and minor limestone. These rocks generally contain fine-grained actinolite, chlorite and epidote. The bedded strikes fairly uniformly at about 330 degrees and dips about 70 degrees west.

Mineralization occurs in lenses of quartz and quartz veins which infill fractures and crosscut the cherts and greenstones. Sulphides include pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite and tetrahedrite.

Old workings consist of four main adits which follow the quartz vein networks.

In 1923, samples were collected of rejected material from an old stockpile when material was shipped in 1916. A sample analysed 2.05 grams per tonne gold, 5245 grams per tonne silver, 6.0 per cent lead and 25 per cent zinc. A 7.6 centimetre wide sample from the hangingwall of a mineralized quartz vein analysed 5852.5 grams per tonne silver, 3.4 grams per tonne gold, 0.7 per cent copper, 15.7 per cent lead and 2.0 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1938, page F28).
