The Gloria occurrence is located 12 kilometres south of Stewart on the south slope of a northwest trending ridge separating the headwaters of the Georgia River from Bulldog Creek. Various sparsely mineralized showings were explored by tunnels in this area during the 1920s with disappointing results. See Glory Extension 2 (103O 006) and Glory Extension (103P 184).

The occurrence comprises three types of showings hosted in granodiorite of the Jurassic Bulldog Creek Pluton (Coast Plutonic Complex) near the contact with Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group (Unuk River Formation) andesitic volcanics. Galena, sphalerite and pyrite are found along the walls of quartz porphyritic dikes (likely Eocene Hyder Pluton-related of the Coast Plutonic Complex) intruding the granodiorite. Northwest striking, steeply dipping breccia zones, up to 7.6 metres wide, occur in silicified and pyritized granodiorite. These are mineralized with pyrite and minor sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. Narrow veins reported to contain sporadic sphalerite and chalcopyrite mineralization comprise the third type of showing.

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.

2018 mapping and geochemical sampling by Auramex Resource Corp. led to the rediscovery of the Gloria Adit, within the Bulldog Creek Intrusion on the east side of Georgie Lake (Assessment Report 38776).
