The NV showing is located on the 516622 claim, a part of the Goat Mountain project. The showing is on a ridge separating Big Sheep and Lamb Creeks, approximately 19.7 kilometres north west of Rossland. The claims were first staked by Gerald York in 2000. In 2007, the property was optioned by Cascadia International Resources. Later, that same year, a programme of line cutting, ground geophysics and six diamond drill holes, totalling 909.22 metres, was performed.

Regionally, the property straddles the contact between the Permian- to Carboniferous- aged metasediments of the Mount Roberts Formation to the east and the Eocene- aged granitic rocks of the Coryell Intrusions to the west.

Locally, molybdenite mineralization is hosted within intensely skarn- altered tuffs and siltstones of the Mount Roberts Formation. The skarn alteration consists of massive brown to reddish brown coloured garnet plus epidote skarn replacement of altered tuffs. The main zone of skarn alteration is exposed over a strike length of more than 700 metres,; striking N60°E and dipping from vertical to steeply to the north.

In 2006, Astral Mining Corporation conducted a helicopter-borne geophysical (electromagnetic) survey on the area as a part of the JJ property.

Grab samples, collected in 2007, returned values up to 1.65 per cent molybdenum and 0.0050 per cent tungsten (Assessment Report 29867). Highlights from drilling, the same year, included 3.2 metres at 0.106 per cent WO3 and 0.125 per cent MoS2 and 4.0 metres at 0.405 per cent MoS2 (Assessment Report 30151).
