The Silver Bow occurrence is located approximately 11.0 kilometres south of Alice Arm on a tributary of Lime Creek. It should be noted that the Silver Bow claim (Lot 3189) is not accurately located on claim sheet maps and National Topographic System maps.

The region is underlain by Eocene Coast Plutonic Complex rocks intruding Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group argillite, shale, siltstone, greywacke and conglomerate. These sediments have been folded and contact metamorphosed to biotite hornfels.

The showing consists of quartz stringers developed in folded schistose argillite. A stringer of high-grade material containing silver has been reported from this locality (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1916, page 68).
