The BHV 7 occurrence is located at an elevation of approximately 630 metres on a northwest-facing slope, east of Campbell Creek and southeast of Barnhartvale.

Regionally, the area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Devonian to Permian Harper Range Group and basaltic volcanics, mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, which are in contact with Late Triassic to Early Jurassic granodioritic intrusive rocks and are overlain by undivided volcanic rocks of the Eocene Kamloops Group.

The area is located near the contact between argillites with minor interbedded limestone and basaltic volcanics of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group and the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic granodioritic intrusive. The argillites are silicified and highly fractured and/or brecciated and in places veined with fine quartz stringers and segregations containing pyrite, chalcopyrite and malachite staining. Feldspar porphyry dikes with fine pyrite and pyrrhotite cut the argillites. The mineralized zone strikes northeast.

In 1973, rock samples yielded up to 1.29 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 4315).

In 1971, regional prospecting by Copper Range Exploration Company, Inc. discovered anomalous copper-gold values in rocks and staked the Mot 9-30 claims. Follow-up work consisted of geological mapping and soil (71 samples) and rock chip sampling. In 1973, geological mapping and soil sampling (61 samples) was conducted by Copper Range Exploration Company, Inc. In 1975, the property was re-staked by R.A. Dickenson, who carried out a small sampling program. In 1979, the Carlin 2 claim was staked by R.A. Dickenson and prospecting was carried out on behalf of T. Alexander.

In 1980 and 1981, Vantex Resources Inc. optioned the property and carried out a program of soil sampling and VLF-EM surveys. In 1988, a program of 31.2 kilometres of VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys, geological mapping, 21.6 kilometres of grid establishment and six diamond-drill holes, totalling 361.8 metres, were completed on the Barn claim on behalf of Jaguar Equities Inc.

During 2015 through 2019, the area was prospected and rock sampled as the Barn claim group. In 2020, North Valley Resources Ltd. completed a program of prospecting and a ground magnetic and electromagnetic (VLF-EM) survey on the property.
