The AGUR-MO showing is located approximately 8.5 kilometres southwest of Summerland. The showing was discovered in 1977 by D.G. Leighton & Associates Ltd. who were carrying out a regional stream sediment program in this area. Molybdenite occurs as fine blebs and streaks associated with coarse-grained quartz-rich laminae in a moderately fractured, fine- grained aplite dike. The aplite dike is hosted by granodiorite of the Jurassic Okanagan Intrusions. A number of aplite dikes are found in the vicinity. They vary from 3 to 12 metres wide and cut the granodiorite in an approximate east-west trend. The dikes have been moderately leached and contain traces of disseminated pyrite.
