The Tut 6 occurrence is located about 3.7 kilometres south of Tutizzi Lake and approximately 82 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing.

The showing is underlain by porphyritic andesites and banded tuffs of the Upper Triassic Plughat Mountain Formation (Takla Group). About one kilometre to the southwest of the showings is the northwest-trending contact with the Early Jurassic Hogem Plutonic Suite, here consisting of hornblende biotite monzonite. The contact is characterized by a swarm of pyritic granite to syenite dikes (up to 3 metres wide) crosscutting the volcanics.

Fine-grained chalcopyrite and pyrite occur in sheared, silicified monzonite or syenite dikes. In 1991, one sample assayed 0.89 per cent copper, 0.15 gram per tonne gold and 10.0 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 21780). In 1992, a chip sample (12101) across 0.8 metre from a quartz vein, of the same width, mineralized with chalcopyrite and magnetite assayed 0.36 per cent copper and 1.9 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 22584). The location of this vein is shown as being a few hundred metres southeast of the original Tut 6 occurrence sampled in 1991.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Union Miniere Exploration and Mining Corp Ltd. (UMEX) of Montreal conducted extensive regional exploration in north-central British Columbia. This work located two small but well-defined magnetic anomalies over Takla volcanics on the west side of the later (2005) Tut South property and anomalous copper in silts from streams draining the area (as reported in Assessment Report 28253). Follow-up ground surveys indicate several copper occurrences within the volcanics adjacent to the contact with intrusive rocks of the Hogem batholith.

During the early 1990s, the immediate area was explored for copper-gold porphyry deposits jointly by Major General Resources and Swannell Minerals Corporation. The 1991 work program undertaken by Reliance Geological Services included silt sampling, rock sampling and reconnaissance geological mapping at a scale of 1:10,000. In 1992, four survey grids (grids A, A', B, C) were laid out and geological mapping was performed over much of the property and 27 rock and 259 soil samples were collected for analysis. Grid C is shown as being in the area of the Tut 6 occurrence.

In 2005, Commander Resources Ltd. (formerly called Major General Resources) restaked the southwest part of the old Tut group as the Tut South (which covered the Ache (094C 147) and the Tut 6 occurrences) and the eastern part as the Tut. A brief program of prospecting and soil sampling was completed. In 2012, Commander Resources Ltd. carried out prospecting and soil (5) and rock (2) sampling on the Tut South property which covers the Ache and Tut 6 showings.
