The Waterfront showing is located on the Waterfront claim (Lot 3639) on the shore of Alice Arm, 1.75 kilometres southwest of the Alice Arm townsite. The claim was Crown granted in 1917.

The area is underlain by Middle to Upper Jurassic Hazelton Group sediments. These dip moderately to steeply southwest and northeast as a result of being deformed into closely spaced northwest-trending folds.

The showing consists of a 1.8 metre wide quartz vein that outcrops near the shore and is reported to have been traced northwest across Lot 3639. The vein is sparsely mineralized with disseminations of pyrite, galena and sphalerite.

In 2017 an airborne magnetometer survey and geological interpretation were completed for Granby Gold Ltd. on their Tidewater property, north of Alice Arm. The Waterfront area showed a low magnetic response (Assessment Report 36830).
