The Silver Bell showing is located on the south slope of Wilauks Mountain, 4.25 kilometres due east of Alice Arm. The showing lies immediately southwest of the Lonestar occurrence (103P 153). In 1918, the area was explored for lead, zinc and silver mineralization.

The region is underlain by an assemblage of volcanics and sediments comprising the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group, the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group and the Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group. This assemblage has been folded into a north-northwest trending anticline (Mount McGuire anticline) and regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

The showing is hosted in Stuhini Group argillite situated on the western limb of the Mount McGuire anticline. A 4.6 metre wide dioritic dike in the argillite strikes 015 degrees and dips 55 to 60 degrees east. The dike contains stringers, bands and blebs of quartz mineralized with pyrite, sphalerite and galena. A sample from an adit dump assayed 21 grams per tonne silver, trace lead and 2.8 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1918, page 68).

In 1918, the Silver Bell claim was owned by A. Clary of Alice Arm. The showing had been exposed by an opencut for 1.8 metres and continued in a tunnel across the vein for another 3.6 metres.
