The Bow 25 occurrence is located in the Faulkner Creek Valley just west of Faulkner Creek, about 80 kilometres east of Dease Lake.

According to a recent geological compilation of the area by H. Gabrielse of the Geological Survey of Canada, the showing is underlain by sediments of the Ordovician to Mississippian Road River Group (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2779).

An exposure of siliceous mudstone contains laminated galena and sphalerite. A sample (VR84) of the material assayed 10.3 per cent zinc; another sample (VR85) yielded 0.11 per cent lead (Assessment Report 10877).

In 1982, Eldorado Minerals and Petroleum discovered this showing while prospecting along strike from their Dinah stratiform lead-zinc deposit (104I 096) located about 6.5 kilometres to the southeast.
