The BH 1 showing is located on the north-central Barite 2 claim, just west of 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 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 Cullen Creek fault/shear zone trends northeast along the valley and is the main structure in the area.
Small massive galena veins and several pyrite-bearing quartz veins, containing minor amounts of sphalerite, occur in the area. One sample (BR-459A), from a 3 centimetre wide vein, assayed 1760 grams per tonne silver and 65.6 per cent lead (Assessment Report 22033). A 10 to 20 centimetre wide vein occurs in a shear which is traceable for 50 metres. The shear zone consists of brecciated rock fragments, with 5 per cent sphalerite and 5 per cent pyrite, and is hosted in a mafic volcanic breccia. The sulphides are generally concentrated along the fracture surfaces. A sample (BR-461) from the vein assayed 4.6 per cent zinc, 2.4 per cent lead and 171 grams per tonne silver (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. In 1994, a helicopter-supported program on the Golden Crown property by Canstar Ventures Corporation consisted of collecting 450 samples including 369 rock composite and chip, 2 soil, 58 stream sediment and 21 checks in ten target areas.
