Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 143: Initial survey
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
The helicopter quickly swept out of the city and began to fly eastward along the Klondike.
Ye Tian and Mark were on the first plane, with their hiking backpacks and outdoor equipment beside them, and there were several pieces of prospecting equipment in the cabin.
In addition, the weapons were brought all the time, and the wilderness is where they are used.
Jack and Hayward, who has a bear hunting license, were on the second plane with their own equipment.
During the flight, Ye Tian from time to time passed the portholes on both sides to enjoy the scenery outside.
Looking out from the porthole, you can see the endless snow-capped mountains and glaciers, as well as the wild forest and sea in the distance, the scenery is extremely magnificent and charming! Just looking at it makes people broad-minded and yearning!
However, when he retracted his gaze and gradually approached the Klondike River, the scenery began to get worse and worse, and he even couldn't bear to witness it.
At this time, the banks of the Klondike River were like bald spots, scattered with countless mines, and the surface was full of holes and ugly!
On the river, some ugly and bulky barges pass by from time to time. Without exception, they are all gold ore, carrying people's dreams of getting rich and sailing far away.
Seeing these, there was a trace of beauty in Ye Tian's eyes just now, and it 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 beautiful and picturesque scenery has long ceased to exist, and it has been completely destroyed by people's crazy desires!"
Mark introduced the situation aloud.
He could hear that there were many regrets and regrets in his tone, as well as some contradictions.
Didn't let gold make trouble! The moment gold is found here, it is destined to be swallowed by people's endless greed, there is no possibility of exception!
Ye Tian smiled and sighed secretly.
Didn’t I come for gold? As for the grief of the Klondike, let others experience it!
In about twenty minutes, it flew to the mouth of Smith Creek. The plane left the Klondike River and began to fly north along Smith Creek. The altitude began to rise gradually.
The scenery here is very beautiful, there is no bare khaki mine, the green mountains and meadows, and the beautiful wild flowers all over the mountains, it is very eye-catching! It's refreshing!
But unfortunately, these will soon cease to exist! !
At the latest next spring, the beauty in front of you will completely disappear, replaced by countless roaring mining machinery, and the greedy desire that soaks every inch of soil!
Flew north for about one kilometer and arrived at the first mining tenement area to be investigated.
Entering the sky above the target, Marco immediately began to introduce the situation.
"Steven, this is the virgin property of Smith Creek No. 1, with a total of 375 hectares, across Smith Creek, the terrain is relatively flat, and the water is very convenient.
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 costs.
The plane began to land, and you could see through the porthole that it landed on a grassy area not far from the stream.
And just not far from the landing, two helicopters were parked at this time, a medium-sized business jet with seven or eight seats.
Obviously, someone is investigating the mineral rights of this virgin land, and there are a lot of people.
Amid the roar of the engine, the two helicopters that Ye Tian and the others took landed smoothly on the grass.
The engine went out and the wind stopped.
Ye Tian and Mark walked out of the cabin and set foot on this virgin land, which is almost full of gold. Not far behind, Jason and Hayward also walked out of the cabin, carrying backpacks and preparing to come here.
As soon as his foot stepped on the soft grass, Ye Tian immediately looked around and began to observe the terrain.
Smith Creek is about three or four meters wide, winding and winding, with gentle water flow and a depth of about one meter. It is crystal clear and you can even see the shadows of salmon swimming on the shore.
There are grasslands about 100 meters wide on each side of the stream, full of wild flowers, very lush, no more than 20 cm high, like a large green carpet dotted with flowers, pleasing to the eye!
Many small animals can be seen among the flowers and grass, beautiful white-booted rabbits, colorful pheasants, flying butterflies, and various beautiful birds, which together form a harmonious picture.
Across the grass, the terrain began to rise gradually, and you entered the edge of the mountain forest. This is a typical frigid forest, with Alaskan cedar and red pine growing out of sight, like a green treasure house!
No matter how far you look, you can see the endless snow-capped mountains and seemingly eternal glaciers, which are very spectacular!
All this in front of him has already made Ye Tian fascinated, wanting to own them urgently, no matter whether there is gold here, this piece of land itself has extraordinary value!
Of course, if there is a lot of gold in the ground under your feet, it would be perfect!
Thinking of this, he immediately stepped on the soft grass.
"I wonder if this belongs to my gold mine?"
The scent of jet fuel dissipated with the wind, and the scents of grass and wildflowers immediately rushed in, fresh and charming, natural fragrance.
Ye Tian took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the breath here, his expression was quite intoxicated.
"Steven, can you start prospecting?"
Jason's excited voice came, interrupting Ye Tian's enjoyment.
This kid is very excited now, I'm afraid there is only gold in his eyes, and he will never see anything else, including the picturesque scenery here.
But this is not surprising, prospecting for gold! Listening to it is 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 start now, Mark, you can tell me about the mining rights map, let's decide where to start"
"OK! Hold on a minute, I'll get the map"
Mark responded, turned and walked to the helicopter.
...
"I wonder if we have gold under our feet?"
When he got to the front, Jason stomped on the ground and said, his eyes shining straight.
"You can try with 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, Mark returned with the map and other materials, and then opened the map to start explaining.
"Smith Creek No. 1 has an area of 375 hectares and a width of 2 kilometers. It extends 1 kilometer on both sides along the river bank and is nearly 1.9 kilometers long. It extends from here to the upstream.
The investigation started here. In this mining right area, the mining company selected a total of eight survey points, all of which are included in the data. We can follow their survey points or make independent decisions.
Through preliminary surveys by the mining company, some data can be basically determined. The gold-bearing layer on both sides of the river bank is less than 1 meter of topsoil.
Then there are gold reserves and grades. After preliminary survey calculations, the gold reserves of this tenement are about 20,000 ounces. The data at eight observation points range from 0.7 grams per ton to 1.5 grams per ton.
Listening to these detailed information, Ye Tian suddenly became even more excited.
This is undoubtedly the most suitable place for you to show your skills. The deepest topsoil layer is only two meters, which means that as long as there is gold here, you will not be able to escape your eyes.
Thinking of this, he could bear it! Immediately pretending to be contemplative, he looked down at the ground under his feet.
Focus, perspective!
In the next instant, his gaze immediately penetrated the grass, over the black soil, creeping earthworms, and various other strange animals and plants, looking deeper into the ground.
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 layer!
At the same time as the gravel appeared, there were dots of golden light in Ye Tian's eyes already flashing, although there were not many in number, it was extremely dazzling and charming.
so cool! There is gold here! For sure! And I can find every grain of gold here!
Ye Tian was so excited that he almost cheered!
But in the end he held it back, and now is not the time to celebrate.
The perspective continues, and more and more golden spots in the ore sand.
When the depth reaches two meters, the line of sight will stop, no longer can penetrate the ore, and see more gold!
enough! The most abundant section of gold reserves happened to be within Ye Tian's observation range, between 0.8 meters and 1.6 meters, and the amount of gold began to gradually decrease further down.
Is there an enrichment zone deeper? We can only wait for the official survey to start, and digging holes to continue to explore!
Based on what he saw before his eyes, Ye Tian had quickly estimated the local grade based on the volume of the ore that his sight swept over.
1.2 grams of gold per cubic meter! It is already rich in placer gold mines!
But this is only one point of data. The true value of this mining right depends on the performance of other survey points for comprehensive calculation.
"If the other survey points are of the same level, and the others are not better, then take this place. This will definitely make a lot of dollars for yourself!"
Ye Tian made a decision quickly and the start was great.
Then he scanned the situation within three or four meters next to him, and the data were similar, and the gold reserves in this piece were very stable.
Then he retracted his gaze and ended the first perspective inspection.
This time the perspective sees a lot of content, but it takes very little time, no more than five seconds!
Now the time for using fluoroscopy is still limited, less than 30 minutes a day, there are many surveys later, and maneuvering time must be set aside to avoid accidents ~www.ltnovel.com~ so we can't see for a long time.
Mark continued to explain the mining rights map, very detailed.
At this moment, a loud roar came from everyone's ears, and they quickly approached here.
Everyone turned their heads and looked around, and saw three Can-Am row-seat all-terrain vehicles rushing towards the lower reaches of Smith Creek.
The three all-terrain vehicles are all Can-Am Lone Ranger X3s. They are wild and unrestrained, and they make people excited when they look at them. They want to drive them to conquer the wilderness.
Seeing these roaring beasts, Mark explained with a smile.
"The transportation that traverses 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 to conquer the wasteland!"
After speaking, he immediately greeted these friends.
Ye Tian and Jason looked at each other and smiled, they were both very excited, and the journey was even more exciting!
