The Goat River vein showing (Hill zone) is located just south of Highway 16, approximately 35 kilometres northwest of McBride.

The area is underlain by phyllite, schists and minor quartzite of Hadrynian age. These rocks are likely part of the Kaza and/or Snowshoe groups.

The main showing consists of a 1.2-metre wide quartz-sulphide vein that contains 3 to 5 per cent coarse-grained pyrite, minor pyrrhotite and traces of chalcopyrite. The vein also comprises trace amount of sericite and several per cent of angular wallrock clasts. Several narrow quartz veins parallel the main structure and carry trace to 2 per cent sulphides. A 20-centimetre wide splay off the main vein was also noted. The main vein is exposed intermittently (or discontinuously) over a strike length of at least 250 metres.
