The B and K showing is located 2 kilometres east of the Golden Eagle showing (092F 080), about 19 kilometres southeast of Port Alberni.

The area is underlain by volcanic and minor sedimentary rocks of the Devonian Duck Lake Formation (Sicker Group). A major vertical north trending fault cuts the rocks.

Several widely scattered narrow (up to 20 centimetres) quartz veins, with pyrite and minor sulphides, occur in shear zones within tuffs, cherts and andesite. A sample of one of these veins at the south end of Summit Lake assayed 87.8 grams per tonne gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report, 1944).

To the north of the lake one hundred metres, quartz stringers with chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite and galena occur. A 1.5 metre sample from a vein in a trench assayed 2.7 grams per tonne gold, 13.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.15 per cent copper (Laanela, 1965).

From 1999 through 2002, Mandalay Resources completed programs of prospecting and rock and soil geochemical surveys on the King claims. In 1999, two grab sample of dump material, from the area, assayed up to 57,000 parts per billion gold, 10,415 parts per million copper and 705 parts per million lead (Assessment Report 26086).

In 2004 and 2005, prospecting and minor trenching was completed by B. Hanslit on the Waterhen property.
