The Silver Bar claim is located north of the West Fork trail and 2 kilometres north of Salmon River bridge, in southeastern Alaska.

Located in the Intermontane Belt, the area, bounded on the west by the Coast Crystalline complex and on the east by the Bowser Basin, is part of the Stikinia Terrane.

The showing is hosted by the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group Unuk River Formation metavolcanics. The Hazelton Group is a northwest trending steeply east dipping belt of folded andesitic lapilli tuffs, flows and breccia containing a thick seq- uence of argillite and siltstone infolded along a synclinal axis. The sequence is intruded by the Early Jurassic Texas Creek plutonic suite of dacitic porphyry dykes and sills, Eocene granitic Hyder intrusives and lamprophyre dykes.

The showing consists of a quartz vein, hosted by a Texas Creek porphyry dyke, striking 140 degrees and dipping 45 degrees east. The vein has been exposed along strike for 76 to 91 metres, a vertical extent of 53 metres and is up to 1 metre wide. The vein is minera- lized locally with shoots and small pockets and bands containing chalcopyrite, galena and pyrite with associated barite.
