The King 6 occurrence is located along the north side of the Coquihalla Highway (Okanagan Connector), approximately 2.6 kilometres north-northwest of Culmination Point and 7.4 kilometres west of the summit of Pennask Mountain.

The area is underlain by fine clastic sedimentary rocks and basaltic volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group which have been intruded by granodioritic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Pennask Batholith and granitic rocks of the Middle Jurassic Osprey Lake Batholith.

Locally, a drusy quartz vein, 10 centimetres wide, cuts coarse-grained, feldspar megacrystic granite of the Middle Jurassic Osprey Lake batholith. The vein is mineralized with scattered blebs of chalcopyrite.

In 1991, a selected sample analyzed 0.41 gram per tonne gold and 7.8 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 21922, page 9, Table 2, sample Q16-R3).
