The Tide (Sweet 16) occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 840 metres on an east facing slope, approximately 0.6 kilometre west of the Bowser River.

The area is underlain by andesitic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation are unconformably overlain by Lower Middle and Middle Jurassic rocks from the Betty Creek, Mount Dilworth and Salmon River Formations, respectively, all of the Hazelton Group. The Texas Creek Plutonic Suite comprises a group of Early Jurassic granodioritic stocks, dikes, sills and a batholith in the area.

Locally, silver-lead-zinc mineralization occurs within a series of steeply dipping and roughly east-west trending (060 to 100 degrees) quartz-carbonate veins in sedimentary rocks that have been traced for over 200 metres along strike. The veins pinch and swell from 15 to 110 centimeters and typically contain low but variable sulphide mineralization consisting of sphalerite, galena, minor chalcopyrite and molybdenite.

In 2005, chip samples (279456 and 345744) yielded 0.49 and 0.42 gram per tonne gold, 138 and 103 grams per tonne silver, 1.07 and 0.83 per cent lead with 0.06 and 1.09 per cent zinc over 0.30 and 1.00 metre, respectively (Heffernan, R.S. (2006-11-15): Summary Report on the Tide Project).
