The Fitinat claim is located on the west shore of Nitinat Lake, 7 kilometres southwest of the mouth of the Nitinat River. From 1979 to 1984 a program comprising soil and rock sampling, and geophysical surveys outlined molybdenum and copper zones. In 1985, 2 holes were drilled but abandoned short of target.
The area is underlain by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group felsic to andesitic tuffs, intruded by Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite rocks comprising fine grained diorite and quartz monzonite dykes and plugs.
Mineralization consists of minor disseminated molybdenite, chalcopyrite and pyrite in quartz vein stockworks hosted mainly by quartz monzonite dykes and plugs. Two possible ages of quartz veining occurs, the mineralization ia associated with the earlier grey quartz veins. Molybdenite occurs along vein selvages.
Epidotization on fractures and intense silicification occurs in nearby tuffs. Tuffs dip gently to the north and northwest and are interbedded with feldspar porphyry rhyodacite.
A sample of drill core assayed 0.05 per cent copper and up to 0.03 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 14432).
