The Pita 2 showing is located about 50 kilometres southeast of Vernon in the Monashee mountains. Crown grants south and adjacent to the Pita 2 showing cover the Monashee mine (082LSE001). Minor placer workings are located on Heckman and Monashee creeks.

The Pita claims were staked in 1981 and purchased by Mohawk Oil Co. who conducted geological and geochemical surveys. In 1983, VLF-EM and magnetic surveys, geological mapping, prospecting and trenching were completed. In 1984, a program of prospecting and induced polarization was conducted. In 1986, a geochemical survey was conducted on the Aim property, which covered the Pita 9 claim, by Searchlight Resources Inc. In 1986, geochemical sampling, geological mapping, prospecting and magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys were completed. In 1987, prospecting and geochemical sampling was completed. In 1988, a drilling program consisting of 3 drillholes was conducted on the central gossan zone on the Pita 1 claim. In 1988, geological mapping and soil sampling were completed on the Pita 2 and 5 claims.

The area is underlain by Devonian to Triassic Harper Ranch Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks which have been intruded to the south by granitic rocks of the Jurassic Nelson Intrusions. These are overlain by Miocene Chilcotin Group basalts.

The local area is underlain primarily by locally folded black argillite, limestone, conglomerate, sandstone, andesite, tuffs and diorite. Skarn is locally developed at limestone-diorite contacts. Disseminated pyrite occurs along shears in altered andesite, in argillite and in quartz veinlets in argillite.

Near the northeastern boundary of the Pita 2 claim, galena, pyrite, epidote, garnet, limonite and quartz occur in limestone near its contact with diorite. Magnetite occurs in the diorite. About 500 metres to the south, trench C7 exposed pyrite and chalcopyrite in andesite and diorite. Trench C7 is also plotted as being on the Pita 9 claim, so there is some confusion about where the trenches were. However, a program on the Pita 9 claim in 1986 makes no mention of a trench.

A gossan zone occurs near the centre of the boundary between the Pita 1 and 7 claims. This gossan gave anomalous geochemical and geophysical results and was drilled in 1988. Only disseminated pyrite was intersected and the results were disappointing. A grab sample taken from the L1 trench, just southeast of the gossan, assayed 0.195 gram per tonne gold and a 15 centimetre chip sample assayed 2.5 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 13353). These are some of the best results from the trenching program.
