The helicopter soon swept out of the city and began flying east along the Klondike River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ye Tian and Mark were on the first plane, with their own hiking backpacks and outdoor equipment by their side, and there were several pieces of prospecting equipment in the cabin.

On top of that, weapons are all brought in without landing, and the wilderness is where they come in.

Jack and Hayward, who has a bear hunting license, are on the second plane, and they are accompanied by their respective gear.

During the flight, Ye Tian passed through the portholes on both sides from time to time and enjoyed the scenery outside.

Looking out of the porthole, the sight is in the distance of endless snow-capped mountains and glaciers, as well as the reckless forest sea, the scenery is extremely magnificent and charming!

But as he retracted his gaze and got closer to the Klondike River, the scenery began to get worse and worse, even a little unbearable to witness.

At this time, the banks of the Klondike River are like bald spots, and there are countless mines all over the place, and the surface is full of holes, which is extremely ugly!

From time to time, there are ugly and bulky barges on the river, all of which carry gold ore and ore, carrying people's dreams of making a fortune into the distance.

Seeing this, a trace of beauty that was still in Ye Tian's eyes just now disappeared in an instant, making people no longer have the heart to appreciate it!

"Since the discovery of gold in the 19th century, gold mining on both sides of the Klondike has never stopped, and the original picturesque scenery has long since ceased to exist, and has been completely destroyed by the madness of the people!"

Mark exclaimed the situation.

I could hear that there was a lot of regret and regret in his tone, and there were also some contradictions.

The moment gold is found here, it is destined to be devoured by people's endless greed, and there are no exceptions!

Ye Tian smiled and secretly sighed.

As for the sorrow of the Klondike River, let others experience it!

In about twenty minutes, it flew to the mouth of Smith Creek, and then the plane left the Klondike River and began to fly north along Smith Creek, and the altitude began to gradually increase.

The scenery here is beautiful, there is not a single bare earthy yellow mine, but the green mountains and meadows, as well as the delicate wildflowers all over the mountains, it is very refreshing!

But alas, these will soon be gone too!!

By next spring at the latest, the beauty in front of us will be completely gone, replaced by countless roaring mining machinery, and greedy desire soaked in every inch of soil!

Flying about a kilometre north, we arrived at the first tenement area to be investigated.

Entering the sky above the target, Marco immediately began to introduce the situation.

"Steven, this is the Smith Creek No. 1 virgin tenement, a total of 375 hectares, across Smith Creek, the terrain is relatively gentle, and the water is easily accessible.

The road plan is out and will start construction soon, and it's close to the Klondike River, so the machinery and equipment can be brought in by barge, which will save a lot of costs."

The plane began to land, and through the porthole, it was visible that the landing site was a meadow not far from the stream.

Not far from the landing, two helicopters were parked at this time, which were medium-sized business jets with seven or eight seats.

Apparently, there are people who are looking at this virgin tenement, and there are quite a few of them.

With the roar of the engine, the two helicopters that Ye Tian and the others were riding landed smoothly on the grass one after another.

The engine goes out and the wind stops.

Ye Tian and Mark walked out of the cabin and stepped on this virgin land that was almost full of gold, and not far behind them, Jason and Hayward also walked out of the cabin, carrying their backpacks and preparing to walk this way.

As soon as his feet stepped on the soft grass, Ye Tian immediately looked around and began to observe the terrain here.

Smith Creek is about three or four meters wide, meandering, the water flow is gentle, about one meter deep, crystal clear, and you can even see the shadow of salmon swimming when you stand on the shore.

On both sides of the stream there is a meadow about 100 meters wide, full of wildflowers, very lush, no more than 20 centimeters high, like a large green carpet dotted with flowers, which is pleasing to the eye!

You can see a lot of small animals among the flowers and plants, such as beautiful white-booted rabbits, colorful pheasants, flying butterflies, and various beautiful birds, which together form a harmonious picture.

Passing through the meadow, the terrain begins to gradually elevate, and you enter the edge of the mountain forest, which is a typical cold forest, growing Alaskan cedar and red pine, as far as the eye can see, like a green treasure trove!

In the distance, there are continuous snow-capped mountains and seemingly eternal glaciers, which are very spectacular!

All this in front of him had already made Ye Tian excited, and he wanted to have them urgently, whether there was gold here or not, this land itself had extraordinary value!

Of course, if there's a lot of gold in the ground beneath your feet, that's perfect!

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped on the soft grass with all his strength.

"I wonder if this is my gold mine?"

The smell of jet fuel dissipates in the wind, and the scent of grass and wildflowers suddenly hits the face, which is fresh and charming, and naturally fragrant.

Ye Tian took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the breath here, and his expression was quite intoxicated.

"Steven, is it time to start exploring?"

Jason's excited voice came, interrupting Ye Tian's enjoyment.

The boy was so excited that he could see nothing but gold in his eyes, and nothing else, including the picturesque beauty of the place.

But it's not surprising that prospecting for gold! sounds so new and exciting that anyone will be thrilled by it!

After a pause, Ye Tian immediately nodded and said:

"Time is pressing, let's get started, Mark, you tell me about the tenement map, let's decide where to start"

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the map"

Mark answered, turned around and walked towards the helicopter.

......

"I wonder if we have gold under our feet?"

Walking up to him, Jason immediately stomped on the ground and said, his eyes shining.

"Later, you can try it with a metal detector and a gold pan, and you might be able to find gold"

Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone full of excitement.

After chatting for a while, Mark came back with the map and other materials, and then opened the map and began to explain.

"The Smith Creek No. 1 tenement covers an area of 375 hectares, is 2 kilometres wide, and extends 1 kilometre on each side of the creek bank for a length of nearly 1.9 kilometres.

The investigation starts here, in this mining area, the mining company has selected a total of eight survey points, all of which are in the data, and we can follow their survey points or decide independently.

After the preliminary survey by the mining company, some data can be basically determined, the gold-bearing layer topsoil on both sides of the creek bank is less than 1 meter, and the more it extends outward, the deeper the topsoil, but the deepest is not more than 1.8 meters.

Then there's the gold reserves and grades, which have been initially estimated to be about 20,000 ounces of gold, with data ranging from 0.7 grams per tonne to 1.5 grams per tonne across eight observation points."

Listening to these detailed information, Ye Tian suddenly became even more excited.

This is undoubtedly the best place to show your talents, and the topsoil is only two meters deep, which means that as long as there is gold here, you can't escape your eyes.

He couldn't help but think of this, and immediately looked down at the ground beneath his feet, as if in deep thought.

Focus, perspective!

In the next moment, his gaze immediately pierced the meadow, over the black dirt, the wriggling earthworms, and all sorts of other strange flora and fauna, and looked deeper into the land.

When the line of sight reaches a depth of about 80 centimeters, the black earth begins to gradually decrease, gravel appears, and there is no doubt that this is the gold-bearing layer!

At the same time as the gravel appeared, there were already dots of golden light in Ye Tian's eyes that began to flicker, although there were not many of them, but they were extremely dazzling and charming.

It's so cool! There's gold here! Sure! And you can find every grain of gold here!

Ye Tian was so excited that he almost cheered loudly immediately!

But in the end he held back, and now was not the time to celebrate.

The perspective continues, and there are more and more golden points of light in the mineral sand.

When the depth reaches two meters, the line of sight stops, and it is no longer possible to penetrate the mineral sands and see more gold!

The most abundant section of gold reserves is exactly within Ye Tian's observation range, between 0.8 meters and 1.6 meters, and the amount of gold begins to gradually decrease after that.

Is there an enrichment zone at a deeper level? We can only wait for the official start of the survey, dig the pit and continue to probe downward!

As far as what he saw in front of him, Ye Tian had already quickly estimated the local grade based on the volume of mineral sand that he had swept through his sight.

1.2 grams of gold per cubic meter!

But this is only a point of data, and the real value of this mining right depends on the performance of other survey points to make a comprehensive calculation.

"If the other survey points are of the same caliber and nothing else is better, then take it here, and it will definitely earn you a lot of dollars!"

Ye Tian made a quick decision and had a great start.

Then he swept the situation within three or four meters of the side, and the data was about the same, and the gold reserves in this area were very stable.

Then he withdrew his gaze and ended his first perspective investigation.

This perspective saw a lot of content, but it took very little time, no more than five seconds!

At present, the time to use perspective is still limited, less than 30 minutes a day, and there are many surveys later, and it is necessary to leave time for maneuver to avoid accidents, so it is not possible to see through for a long time.

Mark went on to explain the tenement map, which was very detailed.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and they quickly approached this side.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see three Can-Am all-terrain vehicles coming in the direction of the lower Smith Creek.

The three ATVs are all Can-Am Lone Ranger X3s, with wild and unrestrained shapes, which makes people's hearts thrilled to see and want to drive them to conquer the wasteland.

Seeing these roaring beasts, Mark explained with a smile.

"The vehicle to cross the wasteland is here, I borrowed it from some friends who play outdoors, this is Dawson's best all-terrain vehicle, enough to accompany us in our conquest of the wasteland!"

With that, he immediately greeted these friends.

Ye Tian and Jason looked at each other and smiled, they were very excited to each other, and the journey was even more exciting!
