The last grain of gold sand in the gold panning basin was poured into the stream, and the exploration of the No. 1 virgin tenement was completed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The overall performance of the mine was fairly consistent, and this is a rich gold mine with an average grade of 1.1 g/t, which is an excellent mine in the Klondike River.

However, many people may not be aware that there are also gold-bearing layers at a depth of 3 meters, which do not appear in whole areas, but appear intermittently in 12 survey points deep in the forest.

The 1.0 g/t gold layer is a very good performance, and if Ye Tian is interested in competing for the No. 1 virgin land rights, it will be his biggest hole card.

Watching Ye Tian pour the washed gold into the stream, Mark and Jason both had painful expressions on their faces.

It's okay to say it once, but I've seen it more than 20 times, and it adds up to nearly 2 ounces of gold, can it not make people feel pain?

"If someone surveys this stream, they will be shocked and crazy, and it is estimated that they can come up with an astonishing survey data of 1 ounce per tonne!"

Mark joked as he pointed to the stream.

At the same time, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, not everyone could be like Ye Tian, willing to let go of these seemingly low-hanging gold.

"Hahaha, then he has to be careful, maybe this is a pit!"

Ye Tian said with a laugh, and then left the stream and walked to the all-terrain vehicle not far away.

The three ATVs soon started up again and headed upstream along Smith Creek, targeting the Virgin 2 tenement, which is not far away.

Tenement 2 has a total area of 170 hectares and is relatively small.

There is a large difference in elevation between the first and last ends here, so the stream is fast, and it is not easy to retain gold, and the gold grade is not much better!

Seeing the topographic map here, Ye Tian immediately lost his expectations, and the survey results also proved his judgment.

Although there is also gold here, the grade is only 0.43 g/t, which is a very ordinary mining area, which does not meet Ye Tian's requirements at all.

After two perspectives and understanding the basic situation, Ye Tian didn't waste time here, only did 4 points of survey and left, and went straight to the No. 3 virgin land mining rights.

......

The 200-hectare No. 3 tenement has an acceptable gold grade of 0.7 g/t and is worth exploring.

It was still a grid survey, and in a blink of an eye, it advanced to the middle section.

Everyone drove into the mountain forest at a depth of 900 meters, and after finding the survey point, Jason immediately began to dig and take samples, while Ye Tian took an underground metal detector to survey the surface around the area.

Just as Ye Tian was staring at the ground and concentrating on detection, Hayward's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, which was very loud but very eager.

"Steven, listen to me, don't panic, there's a North American grizzly bear right in front of you"

Hearing this, Ye Tian's heart suddenly felt cold, and his body froze directly!

The North American grizzly bear, almost the largest carnivore on land, the king of the Alaskan mountains and forests, can it not be alarmed when it is approached to within twenty meters by this kind of guy?

After a moment's pause, he immediately slowly raised his head and looked straight ahead, while his right hand slowly stretched out to the Mag Nansha Eagle on the outside of his thigh.

Then, he saw the North American grizzly bear standing about 20 meters in front of him.

"Shhhh

In the next second, he immediately gasped, and the chill on his body became even heavier!

This is an adult male bear, gray-black, nearly two meters long, and weighs an estimated six or seven hundred kilograms, which is very strong!

Thankfully, the grizzly bear seemed to be well fed and showed little interest in the upright food in front of him, just watching curiously, and not making any offensive movements or showing any desire to attack.

Luckily, it's summer, and there's plenty of food for this thing, and if it's in the spring when you're just awake from hibernation, you'll be unceremoniously eaten in the spring!

Seeing that the grizzly bear was relatively quiet, Ye Tian felt a lot more relaxed, but he did not let his guard down, he was still in danger at this time.

On the other side, Jason and Mark also heard Hayward's warning, and immediately stopped what they were doing, and slowly moved closer to the ATV.

Jason had pulled out the Colt python and was ready to fire at any moment.

Hayward continued to speak quickly, his voice still small.

"Steven, slowly step back, don't try to run, you can't outrun the grizzly bears, they can reach speeds of up to 56 kilometers per hour, and they can pounce on you in an instant.

One more point, don't stand on the firing line, if it takes the initiative to attack, I will shoot as soon as possible, and I will definitely ensure your life."

He had already raised his sniper rifle and locked onto the grizzly bear not far in front of him through the scope.

Ye Tian slowly moved his steps, retreating little by little, and at the same time whispered:

"I know, if this thing comes to me, don't hesitate, shoot it decisively, I'm here to make a fortune!

"Hehe, don't worry, I've locked it, and I won't let you die!"

Hayward chuckled softly, confidence in his tone.

In the process of retreating, Ye Tian had already quietly opened the sand eagle holster, and he could pull it out with his hand, which made him feel a little safer.

The grizzly bear still stared at Ye Tian and didn't make any attacking moves.

Ye Tian is getting closer and closer to the all-terrain vehicle, and it is getting safer and safer, and everyone's hanging hearts are gradually relaxed, it seems that it is a false alarm!

When Ye Tian retreated to the side of the all-terrain vehicle, the grizzly bear also seemed to lose interest in observing, glanced at everyone, then turned to leave, and quickly disappeared into the mountain forest.

"Whew!"

The danger finally passed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"This grizzly bear is so strong! If you rush to attack, it will be difficult to take down with one or two shots."

Ye Tian stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations.

"That's right, this grizzly bear can't be taken down with a single shot, if you run into a grizzly bear in the future, don't anger these guys, grizzly bears are very aggressive, if you think you have violated its territory, it is likely to attack"

Hayward's expression also relaxed, reminding everyone.

"Understand, we've got some preparations, not only Sand Hawks, but also AKs and Remington sniper rifles, enough to deal with them!"

Ye Tian patted the sand eagle on the outside of his thigh and said confidently.

After a few conversations, everyone got back to work.

Jason continued to dig a pit to take samples, while Ye Tian probed the land around the survey site, but this time he directly took out the AK and put it on his back, and kept half of his mind to observe the surrounding situation.

The sampling was quickly completed and everyone was evacuated from the dangerous forest.

Ye Tian was not satisfied with the gold grade of the No. 3 virgin land, and he had already given up this place in his heart before the final unified washing, and the results of the washing also proved his judgment.

Afterwards, everyone continued to drive upstream to inspect the mining rights behind.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, everyone entered the No. 6 virgin mining area.

It was 9 o'clock in the evening, and although the sky was still bright, everyone was a little tired from the repeated work.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately decided that after surveying here, everyone would rest, continue the survey at four o'clock in the morning, and strive to leave the Klondike River tomorrow morning and go to the Yukon River.

As for food and oil, that's not a problem.

Helicopters had already come in twice during the expedition, bringing everything needed to complete the Klondike River survey with ease.
