The Cunningham Lake occurrence is located near the southwest shore of Cunningham Lake, approximately 17 kilometres northeast of Donald Landing on Babine Lake.
Regionally, the area lies in a region underlain by metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Lower Permian to Upper Triassic Cache Creek Complex and undivided sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Sitlika Assemblage. These are intruded by quartz dioritic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Endako Batholith to the southeast and Eocene granitic to granodioritic rocks to the northwest.
Locally, silver-lead mineralization, assumed to be in the form of argentiferous galena, is reported to occur in argillite and andesite of the Cache Creek group.
