Chapter 142: Into the Wilderness
Over the next two hours, Mark described all 25 tenements. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After his introduction, Ye Tian basically understood these mining rights and had a general goal.
Next, it's time to go on a field trip, which is the basis for deciding whether to make a move.
However, he still has a question in his mind that needs to be answered urgently.
When everyone walked up to the Gonzalez gold mine's display board, he immediately asked:
"Mark, downstream of Clinton Creek, what's going on with Gonzalez's tenements? As far as I know, he's a 20-year tenement, and it's still too early to expire, so why was it put up for auction?"
Mark knew a lot about it, and after a little thought, he began to explain.
"Winning the mining right means that he has 20 years of prospecting and mining rights, but after the gold mining, various taxes and fees will be incurred every year, and they must be paid in time!
If the tax arrears exceed a certain time limit, the mining rights will be withdrawn, and he owes more than three months to the taxes of the previous year, so it will be repossessed and auctioned.
Gonzalez is already dead in Tijuana, and it is certainly impossible to pay this tax, so it is logical that this mining right will be taken back and auctioned!"
Hearing the reason, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Mining rights are a tight spell! It's not just the end of the shooting, and there are a lot of follow-up things!
And Gonzalez's death doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems!
Maybe someone has taken a fancy to his gold mine, so they borrowed the hands of Mexican gangsters to kill people, let the mining rights re-enter the auction, so as to win it at a low cost, everything is possible!
Then he thought about Gonzalez's tenement lease, and wondered if it was still useful?
"Mark, Gonzalez's tenement lease is now in my possession, is it still useful? If so, can I renew the lease? Gonzalez is happy to pay the taxes he owes.
To tell you the truth, we came from Jack Wade, where I photographed Gonzalez's warehouse and got this tenement lease, so I wanted to know that."
Mark's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Ye Tian incredulously, his eyes full of envy!
After a moment's pause, he immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! So you're the lucky guy who dug up a lot of gold in Jack Wade, and the Yukon mines spread all over the Yukon Mine, and everyone was so envious that they went crazy! Congratulations!"
"Thank you, the news spread so fast! It's only been a day, and everyone knows about it!"
Ye Tian sighed with emotion and smiled helplessly.
"That's a lot of gold! worth nearly two million dollars, how can it not be crazy?"
Mark sighed a few more words, and his eyes were a little red.
Then, he quickly adjusted his mood and began to answer Ye Tian's questions.
"It's a pity! This mining right has been recovered, and if you want to get this gold mine, you have to participate in the auction, there is no other way.
But with this lease, you must know more about this tenement than anyone else, and that's your advantage, maybe it will be useful in the auction!"
After chatting about mining rights, everyone talked about field trips.
After pondering for a while, Ye Tian began to talk about the investigation plan.
"In the next day and a half, I plan to inspect all 25 tenements, go to the eight virgin fields in Klondike in the afternoon, and try to leave Klondike tomorrow morning.
Then immediately go to the Yukon River, spend another afternoon and an entire night, inspect the 13 tenements in the Yukon, and return to Dawson on Wednesday morning to participate in the auction."
"Ahh
Mark was taken aback and said in surprise:
"It's crazy! The 25 mining rights add up to dozens of square kilometers, and in two places more than 100 kilometers apart, it is definitely too late to drive, and it is enough to choke all the mining rights.
You can only rent a helicopter, and even then, the time is very tight, and you can't stay anywhere for a long time, and in addition, continuous work in the field is not low in physical requirements, can you withstand it?"
"Then rent a helicopter, one is not enough for two, we must go through all the mining rights, as for our body and energy, you can rest assured, there is no problem!"
Ye Tian said categorically, his tone and eyes were full of confidence.
After saying that, he immediately stepped forward, approached Mark and whispered:
"Mark, I can pay you an extra $5,000 for this expedition, but you'll have to help coordinate things like renting a helicopter and renting a car in the mine.
I definitely can't walk all over the mining area on two feet, I can't finish surveying all the mining rights because I'm tired, and the cost of renting a plane and renting a car is not a problem, it's all up to me."
There are a lot of dollars earned! This guy is so generous, I love the Chinese!
Mark's eyes lit up instantly, and he almost gave Ye Tian a warm hug in excitement.
Immediately after that, he whispered excitedly:
"Steven, you're so generous, $5,000! I've done it! It's no problem to rent a helicopter or rent a car, but I'm also from Dawson, so it's easy to do this!"
You also need to prepare exploration tools, such as metal detectors, gold pannings, etc., fortunately, these things are everywhere in Dawson, leave it to me, I'll borrow four metal detectors."
"That's great!"
Ye Tian praised it and continued to listen to Mark's story.
"There are some things I want to warn you of, those virgin lands can only be accessed by helicopter, the environment is relatively primitive, and there are a lot of wildlife in both places, which is dangerous.
Davis Creek is lined with dense mountain forests with a large number of grizzly bears, and Elk Creek is also densely forested, where there is a pack of 10 North American gray wolves, which is even more dangerous!
If you're planning to spend the night in the wilderness, be sure to be mentally prepared, bring camping gear, and you must bring weapons to avoid the unexpected."
Ye Tian and Jason immediately looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of confidence.
We have enough reserves, not to mention a small pack of 10 wolves, even the famous Druid Peak wolf pack in Yellowstone, buddies are not afraid!
"Mark, don't worry, we're all prepared!"
Ye Tian replied with a smile, extremely firm and confident.
Another thing to note is that grizzly bears are protected animals and should not be hunted unless they are a real threat to your life.
You must hire a bear-hunting license to accompany you, so that they have the right to hunt the approaching grizzly bear and protect everyone's safety.
Then there are outdoor survival equipment, intercom equipment, satellite phones, GPS, outdoor first aid kits, and outdoor cooking utensils, etc., all of which are indispensable!"
Mark enumerated them one by one, no matter how big or small, all the possibilities were considered.
It seems that this guy is an outdoor master! No wonder! He lives in the wilderness! How can he not have these survival experiences?
Ye Tian secretly sighed a few words, at this time he was more confident in this mining rights investigation, and he was more yearning!
After Mark finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"Mark, you can help contact the hunters with bear hunting licenses, the remuneration is quite good, I believe many people are willing to make this trip.
We will solve the outdoor equipment, the hotel we live in has an outdoor goods store, things can be rented or bought, very convenient!"
"Well, let's leave in the afternoon, I hope you can find a high-grade gold mine!"
"I'm sure I'll find the best gold mines, as long as it's here!"
Ye Tian said confidently, and shook Mark's hand at the same time.
It's afternoon.
At one o'clock, two Bell light civilian helicopters took off from the front of the Dawson auction house and flew straight to Davis Creek, twenty kilometers away.
The road to gold mining is officially opened!
