The FIT NW showing is located on Fit Mountain in the Chilcotin Plateau, 12.5 kilometres west of Puntzi Lake, approximately 17.5 kilometres northwest of the community of Chilanko Forks and 145 kilometres west of Williams Lake, B.C.

The area is underlain by Lower Jurassic Chilanko intrusive complex rocks, including a medium-grained tonalite body that underlies Fit Mountain. Locally, copper mineralization occurs within a pendant or embayment of Jurassic volcanic-sedimentary strata, within the thermal metamorphic contact zone of the Fit Mountain tonalite. Mineralization is hosted by a strongly altered and brecciated outcrop, exposed over a 10 metre area.

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 3707 parts per million copper, 2872 parts per billion silver and 63 parts per billion gold (MM108-6-8B; Assessment Report 32123). In 2011, Serengetti Resources Inc. conducted cursory rock sampling over the Fit and Fit NW showings with no results of significance.
