Prospecting, soil testing, drilling, blasting and trenching have been performed on the Goat A claims in the exploration for high-grade silica. Low grade molybdenite and galena was discovered while prospecting and trenching. The galena occurs within the 240-metre wide silica deposit.

Recent geology maps indicates the area is underlain by the Hadrynian and/or Paleozoic Silver Creek Formation (Mount Ida Group) comprised of quartzite, micaceous quartzite and calcareous quartzite, pelitic and semi-pelitic schist, lesser limestone, marble and amphibolite.
