The Highland Light occurrence is located at 1828 metres elevation on a ridge west of Beaverton Creek, a tributary to Enterprise Creek. Silverton, British Columbia lies 9 kilometres to the north.
The Highland occurrence is located on the Trenton (Lot 5232) and Last Chance No. 11 (Lot 5233) Reverted Crown grants, formerly the Highland Light and Victor claims.
The occurrence is underlain by metavolcanics of the Lower Jurassic Rossland Group. Lithologies consist of augite porphyry, greenstone and argillite, tentatively correlated with the Elise Formation. These form part of a outlier composed of Rossland Group volcanics and Early Jurassic subvolcanic equivalents. Quartz latite porphyry and feldspar porphyry comprise subvolcanic equivalents. For a more detailed description of the outlier geology refer to the Willa occurrence (082FNW071).
On the lower Trenton (Victor) claim, a 23 metre long adit crosscuts a fracture zone. The zone is 7.6 metres wide, strikes 060 degrees, dips 60 degrees southeast and is composed of a series of vuggy quartz-filled fractures carrying disseminated galena and sphalerite. A second adit, 64 metres long and 20 metres vertically above, intersected the same zone hosting a few stringers and little or no mineralization. On the Last Chance No. 11 (Highland Light) claim, an adit explored a 60 centimetre wide fault-fissure zone. The strike of this fissure is 310 degrees and dips 75 degrees northeast. The fissure hosted a little quartz and calcite and a few nodules of barite. A little pyrite was found.
Production records for the Highland Light occurrence indicate a total of 10 tonnes of ore were produced in 1904, 1906 and 1918. A total of 88,395 grams silver were recovered.
