The Gloria Extension showing is located 14.5 kilometres south of Stewart, just east of the north end of Glory Lake. The various showings of this occurrence were explored in the late 1920s.

The occurrence consists of a few showings developed in hornfelsed argillite, tuff, greenstone and granodiorite. The showings occur in the vicinity of the contact between the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group) and the Eocene Hyder Pluton of the Coast Plutonic Complex.

A north striking, steeply dipping fracture zone contains sparse galena, sphalerite, pyrite and arsenopyrite locally occurring as massive bodies up to 5.0 centimetres in width. A 0.6 metre chip sample assayed 1.37 grams per tonne gold, 54.8 grams per tonne silver, 2.8 per cent lead and 5.0 per cent zinc (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1928, page 92).

A 0.15 to 0.3 metre wide quartz vein, striking 175 degrees and dipping steeply east, occurs in the vicinity. A 0.3 metre chip sample assayed 89 grams per tonne gold and 86 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1928, page 92).

A quartz vein or silicified zone up to 0.6 metre wide, striking 148 degrees and dipping 35 to 60 degrees southwest, is hosted in granodiorite and occurs to the east at 1250 metres elevation. The vein/zone is reported to contain fair gold values (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1927, page 81).

Various other quartz veins are also reported to occur in the area. See Gloria (103P 011) and Glory Extension 2 (103O 006).

In 2010 Auramex Resource Corp. carried out a helicopter-borne magnetic and transient electromagnetic survey. Structural analysis and geologic - geophysical compilation and interpretations of the Georgia Mine area and Auramex's Georgie River property was conducted from 2013 to 2018, including Gloria, Glory Extension and Glory Extension 2 and BC Verde Minfile occurrences.
