The BS 2 showing is located in the northwestern corner of the Barite 2 claim, near Cullen Creek, a tributary of the Bear River, about 50 kilometres northeast of Stewart.
The area is underlain by Jurassic Hazelton Group rocks. These comprise andesitic tuffs and breccias of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation and volcanic sediments and tuffs with minor chert and limestone of the Lower Jurassic Betty Creek Formation. At the mouth of Cullen Creek is a small monzonite stock probably related to the Tertiary Bitter Creek dike swarm.
The showing is underlain predominantly by volcanic (probably andesitic) tuffs, breccias and conglomerates. The northeast Cullen Creek fault/shear zone is the main structure in the area. A series of silicified outcrops containing minor amounts of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite occur in the area. Trace amounts of disseminated galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite occur along some of the fracture surfaces. The volcanics hosting this mineralization are heavily silicified and quite rusty. Sampling in 1991 covered a 100 by 100 metre area.
A grab sample was taken from a quartz vein, striking 165 degrees and dipping 7 degrees west, containing minor chalcopyrite, galena and malachite in a clay altered envelope. The sample (SR-32) assayed 47.3 grams per tonne silver, 0.2172 per cent copper, 0.5130 per cent lead and 0.4181 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 22033). Another grab sample came from a discontinuous fracture, striking 140 degrees, in mafic volcanics and filled with quartz, barite and less than 1 per cent pyrite and galena. The sample (SR-34) assayed 18.2 grams per tonne silver, 0.1282 per cent copper and 1.52 per cent lead (Assessment Report 22033).
The area has seen some exploration activity, primarily associated with the Crown-granted claims. There are no records of this work but there is evidence of prospecting and trenching. The work was most likely done in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1989, the Barite and Von claims were acquired by Teuton Resources. In 1990, Teuton Resources conducted stream sediment sampling, geological mapping, rock geochemical sampling and prospecting. In 1991, Teuton conducted geochemical (soil and silt) and rock sampling. The showing was sampled at this time.
