The King Northeast occurrence is located at and elevation of approximately 1680 metres on a north-northeast–trending ridge, southeast of Sunset Lake.

The area is underlain by fine clastic sedimentary rocks and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, which have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Pennask Batholith and granitic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Osprey Lake Batholith.

Locally, an epidote-altered diorite hosts 5 to 10 per cent disseminated pyrite.

In 1989, a float sample (L37-R1) of andesite-basalt hosting disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite, located southeast of Sunset Lake, yielded 1.83 grams per tonne gold (Assessment Report 21922).

In 2020, a chip sample (440683) from the occurrence assayed 1.39 grams per tonne gold over 0.7 metre (Assessment Report 39224).
