[1] At 31 December 2019 the mine had Proven and Probable Reserves of 1.5 million ounces of gold at a grade of 7.5 g/t (JORC).

The orebody consists of numerous highly irregular quartz veins, ranging in thickness from 2 to 40 ft (0.61 to 12.19 m) with 8 to 20 ft (2.4 to 6.1 m) being typical, and ranging in dip from horizontal to vertical with 30-45 degrees being normal.

A complex system of faulting offsets the veins both parallel and perpendicular to the strike, resulting in a "chopped-up" orebody.

Typical daily production is about 2,500 tons of ore yielding approximately 1,000 troy ounces of gold.

[5] Pogo uses a paste backfill system, where 20% of the mine's tailings from which gold has been extracted are mixed with cement and then pumped back underground to support subsequent further excavation.
