The Copper King showing is on a north ridge arm of Treasure Mountain above the South Kleanza Creek Valley, approximately 38 kilometres east of Terrace, B.C.

The area is underlain by felsic to basic volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Hazelton Group. Copper minerals, likely chalcocite and bornite, occur in the volcanics. The Copper King showing is within a greater than 14 kilometre north trending zone of copper+/-silver mineralization extending from Clore River valley to Kleanza River valley.

A 12 metre surface sample is reported to assay 1.35 per cent copper, 12 grams per tonne silver and 0.3 grams per tonne gold (National Mineral Inventory 103I9 Cu13).

The Copper King showing is within the Treasure Mountain property explored extensively by Trade Winds Ventures Inc. from 2005 to 2011 and by Decade Resources Ltd. commencing in 2017.
