The Goat area, located approximately 9 kilometres west-northwest of the confluence of the Iskut River and Ball Creek, is underlain by welded tuff, agglomerate lithic tuff, flows, and breccias of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group which are intruded by a Late Triassic to Early Jurassic quartz monzonitic stock of the Copper Mountain Plutonic Suite. A package of Stuhini sedimentary rocks is also mapped in the area. A northwest trending fault separates the Stuhini stratigraphy from Lower to Middle Jurassic basalts and sedimentary rocks of the Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group), within a few kilometres to the east.

A coincident copper-molybdenum-gold-silver-lead-zinc geochemical anomaly and strongly altered, gossanous outcrops at surface were targeted by Golden Ridge Resources Ltd for drilling in 2019. Drill hole GZ-19-01, the first hole drilled on the Goat Zone was collared in sheared intrusive rocks and calcareous volcaniclastics which gradually become more altered deeper in the hole. Strongly anomalous molybdenum and silver was encountered from top to bottom. Strong albite alteration also occurred throughout. A 108 metre drill-interval from 552 to 660 metres depth graded 0.011 per cent molybdenum and 3.70 grams per tonne silver (Golden Ridge Resources Ltd., Press Release, November 20, 2019).

Golden Ridge Resources Ltd drilled 1 drill hole on the Mary (Main) (104G 018) and 1 drill hole on the Goat. They also completed a property wide reconnaissance program at Ball Creek during the 2019 field season and this work included the collection of over 4500 soil samples and 60 rock samples. Soil sampling and prospecting also occurred on the nearby ME occurrence (104G 042).
