The Silver Rose occurrence, located 28 kilometres east of the confluence of the Iskut and Ningunsaw rivers, consists of quartz-carbonate veins hosted within clastic sediments, near the contact with a body of fine-grained diorite of the Devonian McLymont Plutonic Suite. The clastic sediments are likely related to the Devonian Stikine assemblage. Silver Rose veins are planar, up to 30 centimetres wide, and form networks of stringers, trending between 015 and 040 degrees. Mineralization is dominantly chalcopyrite, with considerable malachite and azurite staining. Several instances of chalcocite were also noted but may be tetrahedrite. Mineralization was traced for 100 metres in outcrop, while a subcrop exposure 120 metres to the north suggests mineralization is likely to continue.
A grab sample yielded 0.03 gram per tonne gold, 301 grams per tonne silver 2.74 per cent copper, 0.44 per cent zinc (Sample A0039138, Assessment Report 39128).
