The Fit showing is located on Fit Mountain, west of Puntzi Lake, approximately 16 kilometres northwest of the community of Chilanko Forks.

The area is underlain by Lower Jurassic Chilanko intrusive complex rocks, including a medium-grained tonalite body that underlies Fit Mountain.

Locally, scattered tonalite outcrops over a 50 metre area, contains veinlets and disseminations of chalcopyrite and lesser bornite with epidote-magnetite-chlorite-quartz- calcite veining, accompanied by chlorite-magnetite alteration.

In 2009, the Fit Mountain copper showings were staked by B.K. Bowen and he prospected the area through 2010. Sampling of the zone has returned up to 1861 parts per million copper, 2226 parts per billion silver and 20 parts per billion gold (MM108-6-3; Assessment Report 32123).
