The King showing is located on the Saskwa 1 claim, 38 kilometres east-northeast of Hazelton on the west side of Mount Thoen.

The property is underlain by a stock of the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Intrusions which intrude Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Bowser Lake clastic sedimentary rocks. The intrusive rocks are coarse-grained and range from diorite through granodiorite to granite in composition. Aplite dikes are common in the stock.

Fracture-controlled chalcopyrite mineralization is very extensive on the property, occurring over an area 1500 metres east-west and 800 metres north-south. Molybdenite mineralization is more localized and is found in fractures, with or without quartz, cutting the chalcopyrite mineralization. Pyrite is associated with the chalcopyrite, but is not abundant.

Weak K-feldspar alteration is associated with the mineraliza- tion, and kaolinization is associated with some of the molybdenite mineralization. Magnetite is found in the intrusive rocks away from the mineralized areas.

A sample of granodiorite assayed 0.68 per cent copper and 0.005 per cent molybdenum (Assessment Report 9118).
