The Silver Bay property is located on the east shore of Jervis Inlet in Deserted Bay. A sequence of metavolcanic and metasediment- ary rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Gambier Group, preserved as a roof pendant, outcrop within the claim area. Metavolcanic rocks include phyllitic and tuffaceous dacite, rhyodacite and andesite; slate is intercalated with the metavolcanic. Narrow andesitic dykes and sills intrude the bedded units.

Mineralization consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite and minor chalcopyrite associated with a small shear in dacite and within quartz veins along a rhyodacite-slate contact. A six-metre adit was driven along the mineralized shear zone prior to 1940. A 1.5-metre sample from the adit assayed 0.4 per cent zinc, 0.13 per cent lead and 1.9 grams per tonne silver. A one-metre wide sample of quartz-rich rhyodacite graded 26.1 grams per tonne silver, 0.01 per cent copper, 0.71 per cent lead and 0.1 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 13654).
