The Meadow View deposit occurs in the Lower Cambrian Laib Formation within limestone of the Reeves Member near its contact with black argillites of the Emerald Member. The Laib Formation has a general northeast trend in the area, and the showings occur on the overturned limb of the Jersey anticline. Within one to two kilometres are granite stocks or plugs of the Middle to Late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions and augite-biotite monzonite of the Middle Eocene Coryell Intrusions. It is unknown if these intrusives have any association with the mineralization.
Mineralization is associated with siliceous alteration zones within the limestone and consists of disseminated tetrahedrite, some native silver, pyrite, and minor molybdenite. Copper staining and some molybdic oxide is common. Analysis of sorted ore material indicates copper values range from 0.21 to 0.74 per cent. Gold averaged 0.4 to 1.37 grams per tonne and silver averaged from 0.9 kilograms to 2.4 kilograms per tonne (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1926, page 281).
