The Morning Glory showing is located 10 kilometres southwest of Vernon, on the east side of Okanagan Lake.

In this area, west of the Okanagan Valley fault zone, volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Devonian to Triassic Harper Ranch Group are unconformably overlain by Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks. These units are intruded by Middle Jurassic granitic rocks informally named the Terrace Creek batholith. Patches of Eocene Penticton Group volcanic rocks overlie the older rocks.

A quartz vein, striking 050 degrees, in foliated diorite hosts gold and copper mineralization. The quartz vein averages about 1.5 metres in thickness and is traceable for 120 metres on surface. Mineralization consists of pyrite, chalcopyrite, native gold and arsenopyrite. Values up to 65 grams per tonne gold and 4 per cent copper have been reported (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1896, page 579 and Assessment Report 18983).

By 1896, a 24-metre shaft had been sunk. In 1897, some quartz vein material was processed in a stamp mill but results were not favourable.
