The article's organization is clear and logical, and the prose standard is good. To a non-Mormon, the terms "manifestation" and "testimony" as used in the second paragraph of the Koyle biography section are obscure; a gloss or a wikilink would help. The relevant MoS chapters seem to be followed, except as pertains to the article's lead section, which should be more substantial for an article of this length; it currently leaves out key information about the mine that belongs in the lead, such as the fact that the mine has apparently never produced ore of any economic value and has not been in operation since the 1960s. A second paragraph is called for.
There are significant details missing from the article's coverage: specifically, it leaves me wanting to know when the mine ceased operations (between 1914 and 1920, and then some time in the 1960s?), and what sorts of ores (if any) were ever extracted from it (the Lee source on p.43 mentions an isolated platium discovery in 1929). On the other hand, the biographical coverage of Koyle seems excessive in an article that isn't his biography.
The images are appropriate and have good licenses.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Overall a well-made and interesting article! I've noted a few issues that should be addressed, and with a little work this should certainly be able to meet the standard. -

No edits to the article have been made in nearly a week. I'm putting the review on hold; if there isn't substantial movement in the next seven days, the nomination will fail. -

I'd need to get my sources back together to address some of the issues you've raised. I'll try to gather them this week, though it might take some time. FallingGravity01:14, 25 January 2019 (UTC)reply
Hmm... I'd like to say I could improve it this Saturday, but I don't think I can make any promises since I've been very busy recently. Feel free to do what you want with this review. FallingGravity04:16, 5 February 2019 (UTC)reply
Good progress! I'd like clarification about "manifestations" and "testimonies," and I'd really like to know what year the mine ceased operating in the '60s, if there's any way to find that out. Thanks for making time to work on it! -

I really appreciate the work
FallingGravity has done here! My only remaining issue is that I really wish we could narrow down the cessation of mining operations to a particular year, but I see that it just doesn't seem to be in any of the sources, and I don't think it's a big enough issue to block the promotion by itself (though it should probably be figured out if the article's ever to be FA). I'm approving this article for GA, with cheers to the nominator for sticking with it! -
