The Crown Point showing is located on Hope Creek east of the Lardeau River in the Slocan Mining Division.

Regionally, the area lies within the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern British Columbia. The occurrence is within the Kootenay Arc, a curving belt of highly deformed metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks which includes the Upper Proterozoic Horsethief Creek Group, the Upper Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Hamill Group, the Lower Cambrian Badshot Formation, and the Paleozoic Lardeau and Milford groups. The volcano-sedimentary sequence is intruded by numerous Paleozoic to Mesozoic granitoid plutons.

The Lardeau River area of the Selkirk Mountains is mainly underlain by massive pillow lavas, volcanic breccia and green phyllitic rocks of the Index Formation and by grey-green mica schist of the Broadview Formation. Grey phyllitic rocks and marble of the Milford Group are exposed near the edges of the Mesozoic Mobbs Creek, Rapid Creek and Poplar Creek stocks. All rocks have undergone regional metamorphism to middle or upper greenschist facies. Rocks of the Milford Group have also been affected by thermal metamorphism (Geological Survey of Canada Bulletin 193).

There is no record of work on the Crown Point showing since the late 1890s when it was described as a rusty zone carrying good gold values (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1898). The showing is underlain by massive pillow lavas and green phyllite of the Index Formation of the Paleozoic Lardeau Group.
