The Silver Bell prospect is located on the west side of the road, approximately 700 metres south of the mouth of the Kispiox River, 9 kilometres north of Hazelton.

The host rock is a rusty weathering granodiorite dike which intrudes argillaceous sediments of the Lower Cretaceous Kitsuns Creek Formation (Skeena Group). The granodiorite dike is 15 metres wide, striking 030 degrees. A quartz vein, ranging from 7 to 15 centimetres in width, carries up to 25 per cent sulphides, mainly pyrite, sphalerite and galena, with minor arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. The vein strikes west, dipping 75 degrees south.

A 10-centimetre wide channel sample assayed 3.3 grams per tonne gold, 98.8 grams per tonne silver 3.88 per cent lead and 3.95 per cent zinc (Geological Survey of Memoir 223, page 7). In 1915, 9 tonnes produced 34,213 grams of silver and 6,350 kilograms of lead.

Other quartz veins in the area do not contain appreciable sulphides.
