The Glacier Girl showing is located 100 to 350 metres east of the central part of Kimball Lake, a small lake on American Creek.

There are no details available regarding the history of the showing. It is shown on a map of the Napco Gold Mines Limited property by J.T. Mandy in 1938 (Property File). No further work has been reported on the showing.

The area is predominantly underlain by argillites and lesser tuffs of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River Formation (Hazelton Group) (Bulletin 63). These rocks lie on the east limb of the north trending American Creek anticline.

Mineralization consists of a northeast trending quartz(?) vein that dips 15 degrees southeast. The host argillites are intruded by a west-trending dike in the area of the showing. A chip(?) sample assayed trace gold, 27.4 grams per tonne silver, nil copper, 0.9 per cent lead and 4.0 per cent zinc across a width of 66 centimetres (Property File - Mandy, 1938). Sulphide mineralogy is inferred to be galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite which occurs at the Moonlight occurrence (104A 005) located 560 metres west.
