The Asitka 60 occurrence is located approximately 2.65 kilometres southeast of Asitka Peak.

The Sit 2 occurrence is located 2.6 kilometres southeast of Asitka Peak.The Sit 2 occurrence area is underlain by the Upper Triassic Savage Mountain Formation (Takla Group). The formation consists of augite porphyry basalt, flow breccia, pillow breccia, tuff and interbedded bladed feldspar porphyry. Two quartz dioritic stocks of the Early Jurassic Asitka Peak Stock intrude the Savage Mountain package about 1 kilometre north and 1 kilometre south of the Sit 2 showing.

In 1991, International Corona collected 8 chip samples totaling 9.5 meters from a north-trending trench on a mineralized andesite dike. The dike hosted chalcocite, bornite, malachite and azurite. The nature of how the mineralization occurred in the dike was not described. Assays ranged up to 4.8 per cent copper over 1 metre (Sample 64631, Assessment Report 22018). The dike was located in an area of fragmental volcanics and pyroxene porphyry.

See Asitka 60 (094D 098) for related geological and work history details. Also see Asitka Lake (094D 146) for related information.
