Alaska Gold Rush

Dawson wanted to look around, but Chen Ruobai didn't think there was any problem with this at all. Since everyone is here, there is no need to worry about any leaks.

It is absolutely possible to be more open-minded at this time and hope to seek some help and get some guidance. It would really be a bit unreasonable to hide it at this time.

Anyway, the matter at the mine has been settled, and there is no need to worry about someone stealing the house at this time, so it is no problem to take Dawson around.

"Although this is a mountainous area, it is not particularly rugged." Chen Ruobai was in a good mood and pointed around and said, "I have carefully observed that there are no cliffs here, and it is a mining area. If I want to do large-scale preliminary construction, it is not too big. resistance."

Dawson acknowledged this, saying, "The only thing holding you back is the trees, and you have a chance to be as professional as you can be."

Chen Ruobai joked, "I have forgotten my logging skills. Gold mining is more profitable. I have thought about extending the road so that I can enter my mine."

Dawson nodded, but still reminded, "I remember that when you get here, you need to pass through other people's mining areas. You need to deal with these things with them. But I don't think the problem is big, as long as you don't cause any major damage to his production." Impact, we are all willing to help each other.”

There is basically nothing wrong with this. Chen Ruobai also believes in this statement. As long as there is no direct conflict of interest, most of the time gold diggers are easy to talk to and can help each other.

I took Dawson for a brief tour, especially a few key locations. Of course, we need to visit carefully so that we can get more suggestions.

And Dawson was not idle either. He was watching and asking questions, obviously very eager to find out something about the Golden Mountain.

Chen Ruobai pointed to the mountainside and said, "There is also a gold mine there with certain reserves. However, the density of the ore sand layer is average, and I think the cost of mining it alone is too high."

Dawson asked with some confusion, "If it is really in the mountain, theoretically speaking, it is a very important discovery. Even if the density is average, you can make a lot of money here."

Chen Ruobai gestured and said, "It would be best if that was the case, but the mineral sand layer is covered with several meters of soil. The mineral sand layer does not extend to the bottom layer. Only a few meters of the middle layer contains mineral sand."

Hearing what Chen Ruobai said, Dawson immediately understood, "That is indeed a problem. The cost of mining is too high. But are you sure there is only a few meters of ore sand layer?"

Chen Ruobai nodded affirmatively, he was quite confident in his own strength. He also did some careful investigation. It would be fine if it was just one or two places, but the feedback from the holes drilled in all places was similar, which could prove a lot of things.

Dawson didn't know whether he was gloating or regretting, "I always thought you had good luck, so you made a lot of money. But look now, your luck has not always been very good."

There is no problem if you say so, because the gold mine on the mountainside is in such a situation, it is really a bit tricky.

It's certainly not true that it has no value, but if you want to mine it, the difficulty and cost are indeed very high.

It is definitely not possible to mine alone, it would be a thankless task. However, if you want to mine it easily, you will naturally need some overall plan, so that it can be more efficient and accurate.

This is the problem Chen Ruobai is encountering now. He does feel that this matter is more difficult. It is really not easy to solve this matter well.

Dawson looked at it carefully and gave some of his own ideas and suggestions, "If you are not in a hurry, I think you need to carry out comprehensive exploration work."

Chen Ruobai vaguely grasped the key point and asked, "You mean I need to understand some of the situations here more clearly first so that I can arrange the next work plan?"

Dawson nodded, that's what he thought, "I think this is the most correct approach. You have found several gold mines now, and it seems that you can arrange a reasonable mining plan. But no one knows whether they will be discovered in the future. More gold mines, isn’t it?”

Chen Ruobai also nodded to this. The gold mines here are too scattered. This is a fact. Chen Ruobai cannot guarantee that he has found all the gold mines. He still needs to continue to explore.

This is the reality. This is naturally a tricky matter. If the situation is not clear, it will naturally be difficult to act rashly.

Dawson continued to suggest, "I have looked carefully and I feel that except for the gold mine at the foot of the mountain, which now has a certain mining foundation, the other gold mines do not seem to have these conditions."

Chen Ruobai nodded repeatedly. He recognized this point of view, "I think so too. I don't even think the conditions are suitable there."

This was what he was thinking. The situation there looked pretty good, but if he really wanted to start mining directly, he seemed a little anxious.

"That's what I'm saying, if you're not in a hurry." Dawson said jokingly, "Many people know that you are expanding and your team has added more equipment and personnel. I thought you would be busy."

Chen Ruobai said proudly, "That's true. My team is expanding. But I still have rich mines. You also know that the gold mines in Facai Creek have not been mined yet."

Dawson squinted at Chen Ruobai. He felt that Chen Ruobai must be showing off, that's why he said such irritating words.

Just thinking about it, Chen Ruobai doesn't seem to be completely showing off. Because what he said is also true. He does indeed have rich mines that have not yet been mined. It seems that there can still be good output there, making people's eyes red with envy.

Chen Ruobai, who was a little proud, said, "Look, I know it is like this. If I am humble, you will think I am hypocritical. But if I am very confident, you will think I am very arrogant. I have begun I don’t know how to get along with you anymore, is it just because of my success?”

Dawson rolled his eyes at Chen Ruobai. He was really too lazy to pay attention to him, otherwise he would be angry and cause some problems even if his heart was fine.

After the joke, Chen Ruobai said, "I may not consider mining that gold mine until next year. There is no need for my team to come here immediately, and even if it comes, it will only be a small team now."

Dawson nodded in approval and said, "I think this is good. This is the most appropriate approach. The basic conditions here are immature, allowing small teams to start preliminary work." Naturally, there are too many gold mines in his hands. It seems that I am confident, I don’t have to worry about things within the construction period, and I won’t be under too much financial pressure.

As long as the timeline of some work is extended, many things that seem to be difficult now may not be so difficult. When the time comes, it will be much easier to deal with some things.

These are the actual situations. Chen Ruobai can know this, and Dawson understands it very well. So there are some things that you really don’t need to worry about.

Dawson also continued, "What you need to do now is to explore all the gold mines here, and at least find a few more gold mines. Then you can contact some professional people and ask them to help you plan the most reasonable one." route."

Chen Ruobai spread his hands and said helplessly, "I originally thought you could bring me some new inspiration, but it seems that I overestimated your ability. What you are thinking of is actually what I am considering."

Dawson laughed, and then said seriously, "If you have also considered these things, then I can only praise you. You have become a qualified gold prospector, and you know how to better go to the river for distribution. Time to get to work."

Although these small affirmations did not bring intuitive benefits to people, Chen Ruobai still felt a little secretly happy and a little proud in his heart.

The reason is also very simple. It is simply that Dawson is an experienced gold digger and has achieved certain results in this field. Being recognized by these people naturally proves Chen Ruobai's growth and shows that he is indeed doing a good job.

This naturally makes Chen Ruobai feel a little proud and happy. It seems that some of his growth can be seen by all.

Dawson didn't care so much and continued, "Your previous work was excellent, but I think that is more reflected in the matter of prospecting. You do not have enough experience in the management and development of mines."

Chen Ruobai nodded, he also knew this, and he also knew some of his shortcomings and deficiencies. So when Dawson talks about these things, there is no need to get angry and so on. This is the truth.

Dawson continued, "It looks different now. You can see farther and more comprehensively. This is very important for a mine owner, especially one who owns a mine. Reasonable arrangements Mining progress and plans are a very professional matter.”

"I understand, so my next task is to carefully search for more clues." Chen Ruobai smiled and said to Dawson, "It seems that I will continue to work here in the next period of time. I hope I can Some discoveries."

Dawson joked, "Maybe there will be some surprises. The soil here is too thick and the mountains block many clues. If you make some new discoveries while mining gold, that's normal."

Chen Ruobai thought it was very reasonable. Dawson's view was not optimistic, but something that was very likely to happen.

Although he was very confident in his abilities, Chen Ruobai could not guarantee that he had seen the whole situation.

The mountains may be blocking something, and even if some of the mines that have been discovered now, there is no guarantee that they have all the details, and there may be some missing parts.

If some new clues and traces can be seen in the subsequent work, this is also possible. If there are some small surprises, of course it will be even more joyful.

"Hopefully, I hope I can find more surprises." Chen Ruobai was still looking forward to it. "I am a gold digger. No one would hate to find more gold. Those guys are very valuable."

Dawson said mysteriously, "Many people now say that the price of gold has reached the bottom. They have been at the bottom for three consecutive years. I think it cannot always be like this, and their prices will definitely increase."

Chen Ruobai couldn't agree more with these views. The price of gold has been hovering at a low level, which makes his heart bleed. It's definitely not possible to think that the price of an ounce is currently hovering around $1,400.

It will go up, not to mention breaking new highs, etc., but if it can reach the previous 1,600 ounces per ounce, that will be a big improvement.

After all, for Chen Ruobai, this can be regarded as a content that adds up to a small amount, and his annual gains are indeed not small.

Even the current price allows him to make a lot of money, but who doesn't want to make more money?

If you have the opportunity to find more gold, this is also the most essential thing, which can increase your income a lot. But it would be better if the price of gold could be slightly improved.

This is not to look forward to Shu, but to have some small expectations. The point at which Chen Ruobai entered the gold mining industry was not very good, and he was at a low point. Sometimes he felt distressed just thinking about it.

His 'loss' was not hundreds or thousands of dollars, but hundreds of thousands of dollars. But there is no way, the market is like this, he really can't control it.

Although the market is currently at a trough, Chen Ruobai is still looking forward to the market picking up and looking forward to the opportunity to make more money in the future.

But he also understands that there are many things that he cannot control, and he cannot decide things like the market price. So it’s better to do things that you can control, such as finding lower gold mines and digging out more gold.

These things are indeed within his control, which naturally means that he can have more confidence and feel that as long as he works hard, whether in Facai Stream or Golden Mountain, he can make his gains higher. .

As long as you have more gold in your hands, you can naturally deal with many things more calmly, and your own interests can be better protected.

After chatting with Dawson for a while, although I couldn't get any suggestions that seemed to directly change the situation, it can't be said that there was nothing gained, nor can it be said that this communication was without any meaning.

Chen Ruobai was basically satisfied and felt that he had received some suggestions that seemed pretty good.

Dawson felt sour in his heart. This boy Chen Ruobai was really lucky. He found too much gold! (End of chapter)
