The Koegley is a gold mine located in Alaska.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
Mine Info
Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = A short tunnel was driven in mineralized schist that is cut by small, gold-bearing quartz stringers (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 206]).
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Smith, 1913 (B 525)
Comment (Production): Production Notes = There is no record of any ore produced from the tunnel described by Smith (1913 [B 525, p. 206]).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Schist-hosted gold-quartz vein
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = A short tunnel was driven in mineralized schist that is cut by small, gold-bearing quartz stringers (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 206]). Bedrock at the prospect is biotite schist of the Muskox sequence (Newberry and others, 1996).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
