The King George prospect is located in the north western corner of the East Sooke Peninsula, approximately 2 kilometres south east of Sooke.

The prospect occurs in a shear zone, about 30 metres wide and striking approximately east, that cuts olivine gabbro of the Eocene Sooke Gabbro. Parts of the shear zone are hornblendized and mineralized with chalcopyrite, the best section occurring along the southern wall for a width of about 9 metres. See the Willow Grouse deposit (MINFILE 092B 010) for further details of this type of deposit.

Two large open-cuts and numerous pits have been developed on the deposit. About 13 tonnes of ore were shipped in late 1916, with smelter returns showing a copper content of 13.1 per cent (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 96, page 329).

In 1948, a sample taken across 1.5 metres assayed 7.95 per cent copper, 2.06 grams per tonne gold, 10.28 grams per tonne silver and not more than 0.05 per cent nickel, cobalt or molybdenum (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1948, page 170).

In 1951, programs of geological mapping and ground geophysical surveys were completed on the area as the June, Lorna, Moffat and Pac claims.
