The Goats 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.

At the showing, a 12-metre-wide vertical quartz vein breccia strikes north within sheared quartzite, phyllitic argillite and siliceous sericite schist units of the Neoproterozoic Swannell Formation (Ingenika Group). Chert fragments occur along the east contact of the vein, and quartzite fragments are noted within the vein. Veins are 0.91 to 4.5 metres wide and 30 to 91 metres long. Mineralization within the quartz vein breccia consists of disseminated galena and pyrite with minor amounts of sphalerite. In 1987, a grab sample assayed 0.245 gram per tonne gold, 15.7 grams per tonne silver, and 0.0962 per cent lead (Assessment Report 17458).

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