The Silver King showing is located 1 kilometre east of the Kitsault River, 19 kilometres due north of Alice Arm. The area was investigated for precious metals in 1921.

The region is underlain by an assemblage of volcanics and sediments comprising the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group and the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group. These are folded into a doubly plunging north-northwest trending syncline and have been regionally metamorphosed to greenschist facies.

The showing consists of quartz stringers and veins in a shear zone, up to 15 metres wide, that cuts Hazelton Group andesite. The zone generally strikes 013 degrees and dips 70 degrees east. The stringers and veins are up to 1.0 metre wide and parallel the shear zone. Mineralization consists of pyrite and minor galena and sphalerite. Grab samples of the veins are reported to assay from 461 to 576 grams per tonne silver equivalent (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1921, page 54).
