The Goat occurrence is located at the base of a ridge approximately 61 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The Goat zone is underlain by rock of the Early Jurassic Duckling Creek Syenite Complex. Chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization is found as fine-grained disseminations, fracture fillings, and associated with quartz veinlets within occasionally foliated or gneissic syenites that locally contain potassic or sericitic alteration products. Malachite and azurite are also present in the veinlets and as fracture coatings.

In 1991, Varitech Resources Ltd. and Major General Resources Ltd. completed 18 kilometres of contour soil and silt sampling, 4.5 kilometres of soil geochemical grid work, and reconnaissance lithogeochemical sampling on the Tam, Haha and Rem claims. A new lithogeochemical anomaly, the Goat zone, was discovered. At the Goat zone, seven anomalous rock samples were collected over a distance of 500 metres from talus along the northeastern slope of a mineralized ridge. Copper anomalies range between 352 parts per million and 1.18 per cent, gold samples ranged up to 0.9 gram per tonne, and silver assays are up to 15.1 grams per tonne (Assessment Report 22265).

During 2005 through 2007, Lysander Minerals Corp. completed programs of silt and rock sampling, geological mapping and an airborne electromagnetic/resistivity survey on the area as apart of the Pinchi project. In 2012, Tajiri Resource Corp. conducted a helicopter supported property-wide reconnaissance geochemical investigation of their OGK property. A total of 68 rock, 112 stream sediment and 383 soil samples were collected and submitted for assay. A helicopter supported airborne geophysical survey consisting of magnetics, VLF/EM and radiometric surveys over four blocks totalling 505 line kilometres was also completed.

The Goat showing is part of the Tam property (093N 093) located 7.5 kilometres southeast and shares a related history.
