Be seen this Halloween 🎃

Hi-visibility gear is part of our everyday wardrobe here at Pogo Mine. This Halloween, we're encouraging trick-or-treaters and their families to borrow a page from the mining playbook and incorporate hi-visibility gear into your costumes.

Whether it's a safety vest, flashing light, reflective tape, glow-in-the dark accessories or a full mining-inspired outfit, there are lots of creative ways to stand out while staying safe.

From all of us at Pogo Mine, we wish everyone a safe and fun Halloween!

There's no place like Pogo!

Every season is incredible at Pogo Mine but there's something special about winter that has us excited as we get ready for the colder months and longer nights ahead.

Thanks to Rock Star employee Russ for sharing this awesome shot of the aurora over the Goodpaster River.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and as a long-time sponsor of the Breast Cancer Detection Center of Alaska we are committed to supporting access to early detection services across Alaska.

With 1 in 8 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetime, early detection plays a critical role. When detected at its earliest stage, breast cancer is 99% survivable.

Alongside their lifesaving services in Fairbanks, BCDC's mobile mammography unit travels to communities around our state to help Alaskans access vital screening services regardless of their location or insurance status.

Together, we can help raise awareness, encourage screening, and support healthier communities.

At Pogo Mine, geology is about more than what's beneath our feet, it's about bringing people and ideas together.

This year, Pogo's GeoFest kicked off with a fun evening of trivia before a day packed with presentations, discussions and shared learning from across the operation.

GeoFest gives our people the chance to step back from the day-to-day, build connections and gain a broader understanding of how their work contributes to Pogo's success.

What a memorable evening at the Blue & Gold Celebration! The Northern Star Pogo Mine team enjoyed spending time and connecting with students, faculty, alumni and community members while supporting the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

And what a night for UAF. More than $300,000 was raised; an incredible result that will help create opportunities for students and strengthen programs that benefit communities across Alaska.

As a long-time supporter of UAF, we're grateful to be part of an event that brings Fairbanks together in celebration of education, achievement and the next generation of Alaskans.

Go Nooks!

As the days get shorter across Alaska, it's important to stay alert on the road.

September brings cooler temperatures, changing daylight, and increased wildlife activity creating added hazards for drivers.

Taking extra time to slow down, watch for wildlife, and be cautious around dawn and dusk, can help prevent incidents and keeps everyone safe.

At Pogo Mine, safety means thinking ahead and managing the risks. A few extra seconds of awareness can make all the difference for our workforce, local communities and Alaska's wildlife.
