The GN 6-7 occurrence is located along McDougall Creek, approximately 1.8 kilometres west of the river's confluence with the McLeod River.
Regionally, the area is underlain by mudstone, siltstone, shale and fine clastic rocks of the Triassic Takla Group. To the southwest calc-silicate and paragneiss metamorphic rocks of the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Wolverine Metamorphic Complex and pegmatitic intrusive rocks of the Cretaceous Wolverine Range Plutonic Suite are exposed.
Locally, sheared pyritic siltstone and silty conglomerate host calcite veins with associated gold values.
In 1981, three rocks samples (B052, B054 and B059) from the occurrence area yielded from 1.2 to 2.5 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 10231).
Work History

In 2007, Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. completed a program of geochemical (rock, silt and soil) sampling and trenching on the area as the Jack claims of the Carp project.
In 2020 and 2021, Golden Planet Mining Corp. completed a regionally extensive program of prospecting, geological mapping, geochemical (rock, till and soil) sampling and a 4851.0-line-kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey on the area as the Rider property.
