The project is hosted in Tertiary volcanic tuffs and dacite flow domes. Located in center of a caldera setting with E-W structural wrench fault system, a very large epithermal system with fracture controlled gold deposition and very high-grade gold/silver quartz veins including widespread gold and silver mineralization located on NW and EW structures adjacent to, and within subaerial intrusive rocks.
Silver Bow presents several promising drill targets that are listed below. The strongest of these targets are on twin rhyolite flow domes on the western part of property. The first of the flow dome targets is the boiling zone of surface-exposed vein complexes that stretch northwestward across the north dome. As in other places in Nevada, these boiling zones could host a high-grade gold and silver system. The second and third targets are two large surface-exposed volcanic breccia areas. The first stretches across the north face of the north dome, with numerous multi-gram surface gold samples. The second is an extensive breccia area across the top of the south dome.
