The King 10 occurrence is located 1 kilometre northeast of Lake of the Mountains.

The area is underlain by tholeiitic basalt and homogeneous basic sheet flows of the Triassic Karmutsen Formation (Vancouver Group). Minor amounts of pyroclastic rocks and metasediments have also been reported.

Locally, disseminated malachite, bornite and chalcopyrite occur within an amygdaloidal andesite or basalt and in quartz veinlets cutting the andesite.

In 1990, the King claims were staked by Transtel Communications and a program of prospecting, geological mapping, and geochemical sampling was completed over the following two years. In 1991, a sample of mineralized quartz vein material returned values up to 0.22 per cent copper and 1150 parts per billion gold (Assessment Report 21520).

Between 1993 and 1995, Westward Explorations completed programs of geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling, magnetic - and VLF-EM surveys, and trenching. This work identified an area of coincidental geophysical and soil gold anomalies on the King 10 claim.

In 2019, Xplore Resource Corp. completed a program of prospecting and geochemical (rock, soil and stream sediment) sampling on the area as part of the Valk property.
