A small base metal deposit called the King deposit has been recognized (~2.146 Mt at 3.47% Zn, noncompliant). The host stratigraphy is mineralogically complex, strongly banded, internally faulted, and locally deformed. Due to the small size of the deposit and overturned nature of the stratigraphy, little exploration has occurred either into the hanging-wall or along strike until recent years.

The King deposit represents an amphibolite facies-metamorphosed bimodal VHMS system, where the footwall stratigraphy varies in both protolith composition and alteration style, making it an ideal setting in which to evaluate the influence of lithology and alteration on mineral chemical trends. This deposit has a total resource (non-JORC compliant; JORC = Joint Ore Reserves Committee) of 2.15 million metric tonnes at 3.47% Zn, 0.3% Pb, 15 g/t Ag, and 0.2 g/t Au. The King Zn deposit is an overturned metamorphosed bimodal-felsic VHMS system metamorphosed to the amphibolite facies during M2 regional contact metamorphism ca. 2685 to 2665 Ma.
