Pogo deposit
A Pogo deposit is a significant mineral deposit located in Alaska, primarily known for its rich reserves of gold. Discovered in the late 1990s, it has become one of the most important gold mining sites in the region. The deposit is situated near the Pogo Mine, which began operations in 2006 and has contributed to the local economy through job creation and revenue generation.
The Pogo deposit is characterized by its high-grade ore, which means it contains a large amount of gold relative to its volume. Mining operations at the site involve underground techniques to extract the valuable minerals while minimizing environmental impact. The Pogo deposit continues to be a focus for exploration and development in the mining industry.
