Treasure Hunt all over the World

The helicopter quickly skimmed out of the city and began flying east along the Klondike River.

Ye Tian and Mark were on the first plane, with their hiking backpacks and outdoor equipment beside them, as well as some prospecting equipment in the cabin.

In addition, all the weapons are brought without landing, and the wilderness is where they come in handy.

Jack and Hayward, a licensed bear hunter, were on the second plane, also with their gear.

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

Looking out from the porthole, you can see endless snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the distance, as well as vast forests and seas. The scenery is extremely magnificent and charming! Looking at it makes people open-minded and yearning!

However, when he retracted his gaze and gradually approached the Klondike River, the scenery began to get worse and worse, and it was even a bit unbearable to witness.

At this time, the banks of the Klondike River are like alopecia areata, with countless mines all over the ground, and the surface is full of holes, which is extremely ugly!

On the river, some ugly and heavy barges passed by from time to time. Without exception, they were all carrying gold ore, carrying people's dreams of getting rich and sailing to the distance.

Seeing this, the trace of beauty that was still in Ye Tian's eyes just now disappeared instantly, making people no longer want to appreciate it!

"Since the discovery of gold in the 19th century, gold mining activities on both sides of the Klondike have never stopped. The original picturesque scenery has long since disappeared, and it has been completely destroyed by people's crazy desires!"

Mark introduced the situation here loudly.

It can be heard that there is a lot of regret and regret in his tone, and there are some contradictions.

It's not because of gold! When gold is found here, it is destined to be swallowed up by people's endless greed, without exception!

Ye Tian smiled, feeling deeply inwardly.

Didn't I just come here for gold! As for the sorrow of the Klondike, let others experience it!

In about 20 minutes, it flew to the mouth of Smith Creek. The plane then left the Klondike River and began to fly north along Smith Creek, and the altitude gradually increased.

The scenery here is beautiful, and there is not a single bare khaki mine in sight.

The eyes are full of green forests and meadows, as well as the delicate wild flowers all over the mountains and plains, which is very eye-catching! So refreshing!

Unfortunately, these will soon cease to exist as well! !

Next spring at the latest, the beautiful scenery in front of me will disappear completely, replaced by countless roaring mining machinery, and the greedy desire soaked in every inch of soil!

Flying northward for about one kilometer, we arrived at the first mineral rights area we inspected.

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

"Steven, this is Smith Creek No. 1 virgin land mining right, with a total of 375 hectares, across Smith Creek, relatively flat terrain, and easy access to water.

The road plan has been released, and construction will start soon. It is close to the Klondike River, and machinery and equipment can be brought in by barge, which can save a lot of cost”

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

And not far from the landing, there are two helicopters parked at this time, which are medium-sized business jets with seven or eight seats.

Obviously, someone is investigating this virgin land mining right, and there are quite a few of them.

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

The engine dies, the wind dies down.

Ye Tian and Mark stepped out of the cabin and stepped onto the virgin land that was about to contain gold. Not far behind, Jason and Hayward also walked out of the cabin, carrying backpacks and preparing to walk here.

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 to four meters wide, twists and turns, the water flow is gentle, about one meter deep, and is crystal clear. Standing on the shore, you can even see the shadow of salmon swimming.

There is a grassland about 100 meters wide on both sides of the stream, full of wild flowers, very lush, no more than 20 centimeters in height, like a large green carpet dotted with flowers, pleasing to the eye!

Many small animals can be seen among the flowers and plants, such as beautiful white boot rabbits, colorful pheasants, flying butterflies, and various beautiful birds, which together form a harmonious picture.

Passing through the grassland, the terrain began to rise gradually, and entered the edge of the mountain forest. This is a typical cold zone forest, where Alaskan cedar and red pine grow. It can't be seen at a glance, like a green treasure house!

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

All these things in front of him have already made Ye Tian tempted, and he wants to own them urgently. No matter whether there is gold or not, this piece of land itself has extraordinary value!

Of course, if there is a lot of gold in the ground under your feet, it will be perfect!

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped on the soft grass.

"I don't know if this is my gold mine?"

The smell of aviation fuel dissipated with the wind, and the scent of green grass and wild flowers rushed to my face, fresh and charming, natural fragrance.

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

"Steven, can we start exploring?"

Jason's excited voice interrupted Ye Tian's enjoyment.

This kid is very excited now, I am afraid that there is only gold in his eyes, and he will never see anything else, including the picturesque beauty here.

But it's no surprise, prospecting for gold! It sounds very fresh and exciting, and everyone will be excited about it!

After a short pause, Ye Tian immediately nodded and said:

"Time is running out, let's get started, Mark, tell us about the tenement map so we can decide where to start"

"Okay! Wait a minute, I'll get the map"

Mark responded, turned around and walked towards the helicopter.

...

"Wonder if there is gold under our feet?"

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

"You can try a metal detector and a gold pan later, maybe you can find gold"

Ye Tian said with a smile, with excitement in his tone.

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

"Smith Creek No. 1 mining right covers an area of ​​375 hectares, with a width of 2 kilometers, extending 1 kilometer to both sides along the bank of the stream, and a length of nearly 1.9 kilometers. From here, it extends upstream.

The investigation starts here. In this mining rights area, the mining company has selected eight survey points, which are included in the data. We can follow their survey points, or we can make our own decisions.

After the preliminary survey by the mining company, some data can basically be confirmed. The surface soil of the gold-bearing layer on both sides of the stream bank is less than 1 meter.

Then there are gold reserves and grades. According to preliminary survey calculations, the gold reserves of this mining right are about 20,000 ounces, and the data of the eight observation points range from 0.7 grams per ton to 1.5 grams per ton.”

After hearing these detailed information, Ye Tian became even more excited.

This is undoubtedly the most suitable place for me to show my talents. The deepest topsoil layer is no more than two meters, which means that as long as there is gold here, I can't escape my eyes.

Thinking of this, he couldn't bear it! Immediately pretending to be contemplative, he lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet.

Focus, see through!

In the next moment, his eyes immediately penetrated the grassland, crossed the black soil, wriggling earthworms, and various other strange animals and plants, and looked deeper into the land.

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

At the same time as the gravel appeared, dots of golden light began to flash in Ye Tian's eyes. Although there were not many in number, they were extremely dazzling and charming.

so cool! There is gold here! Definitely! And you can discover every grain of gold sand here!

Ye Tian was so excited that he almost burst into cheers immediately!

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

As the perspective continues, there are more and more golden spots in the ore sand.

When the depth reaches two meters, the line of sight stops, can no longer penetrate the ore sand, and see more gold!

enough! The section with the richest gold reserves is just within Ye Tian's observation range, between 0.8 meters and 1.6 meters, and the amount of gold begins to gradually decrease further down.

Are there enrichment zones at deeper depths? We can only wait for the meeting to officially start the survey, dig a hole and continue to explore!

Based on what he saw in front of him, Ye Tian had already quickly estimated the local grade based on the volume of the ore that he scanned.

1.2 grams of gold per cubic meter! It is already a bonanza in the placer gold mine!

But this is just one point of data. The real value of this mining right depends on the performance of other survey points for comprehensive calculation.

"If the other survey points are about the same level and nothing else is better, take this one, it's sure to make a lot of money for yourself!"

Ye Tian made a quick decision and got off to a great start.

Then he scanned the situation within three or four meters next to him, and the data was similar, and the gold reserves in this area were very stable.

Then he withdrew his gaze, ending the first perspective survey.

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

The time for using perspective is still limited, less than 30 minutes a day, and there will be many surveys later, and we need to allow time for maneuvering to avoid unexpected situations, so it is impossible to see through for a long time.

Mark continued to explain the mining rights map, which was very detailed.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from everyone's ears, and they quickly approached here.

Everyone turned their heads and saw three Can-Am side-by-side all-terrain vehicles driving towards the lower reaches of Smith Creek.

The three all-terrain vehicles are all Can-Am Lone Ranger X3, with wild and unrestrained shapes, which makes people feel excited when they look at them, and they want to drive them to conquer the wilderness.

Seeing these roaring beasts, Mark explained with a smile.

"The vehicle for crossing the wilderness is here. I borrowed it from some friends who play outdoors. This is Dawson's best all-terrain vehicle, which is enough to accompany us to conquer the wilderness!"

After speaking, he immediately greeted these friends.

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