The Goats North occurrence is located at the headwaters of an unnamed creek, north of the Osilinka River, on the western edge of the Omineca Belt approximately 50 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The area is underlain by sheared quartzite, phyllitic argillite and siliceous sericite schist units of the Neoproterozoic Swannell Formation (Ingenika Group).

At the showing, a quartz vein breccia hosts disseminated galena and pyrite with minor amounts of sphalerite. In 1987, a sample (2133) assayed 0.058 gram per tonne gold, 11.6 grams per tonne silver and 0.136 per cent lead over 0.61 metre (Assessment Report 17825).

In 1987, Skylark Resources completed a program of rock, silt and soil sampling and geological mapping on the area as the Goat claims.
