Gold Rush Starts in the Bering Sea

Although the possibility is small, and no detection company would be willing to risk going bankrupt to do this.

The JORC logo on the report, along with the official seal of the detection company, speaks volumes.

However, the choice of each detection location will affect the final result, so he needs to confirm it further.

Back at the town inn, after waiting for three days, Ronaldo brought a middle-aged man to Jason.

Perhaps due to working away from home for many years, the man's skin was rough. When Jason shook hands with him, the strong, calloused hand made Jason nod in approval.

Clearly, the man in front of me was not the kind of person who talked a lot of theory, but a pragmatist.

"Please sit down," Jason gestured for the man to sit down. After a brief introduction, Jason handed him the documents he had on hand.

Connor opened the exploration forecast report, and when he saw the name Ramelius Resources on it, his hand trembled violently.

"Boss, since we already have Rio Tinto's test results, why did you still need to contact us?" Connor was already thinking of leaving. If the results were similar, that would be fine, but if they were too different, he could imagine the consequences.

It's not that I'm belittling my own company, but the difference is just too great.

Ramelius Resources is a professional and efficient mining exploration company, including but not limited to gold exploration, mineral development, production and sales.

Currently owns multiple gold mines throughout Australia!

His company is nothing more than an exploration team, occasionally contracting out some work to larger exploration teams.

Unfortunately, this large exploration team included the Remerius Resources.

The report was highly technical, meaning Jason didn't understand the company's capabilities, but for the Australian exploration team, it was undoubtedly a behemoth.

Connor flipped through the pages slowly, enjoying the view.

From large-area screening to small-target area verification, and then to intensive drilling and detailed research, every step is extremely rigorous to improve confidence.

Each exploration point was marked with its composition, gold content, and predicted orientation of underground gold veins.

What surprised Connor the most was that there was a feasibility report following the estimated gold content.

It includes detailed assessments of water, electricity, transportation, tailings ponds, waste rock dumps, land acquisition, environmental impact assessments, and community relations.

In terms of economics, a detailed economic assessment is conducted based on projected gold prices, capital expenditures, operating costs, taxes, discount rates, and other factors.

The report was rigorous and professional, supported by data throughout, making even Connor, a member of the exploration team, feel like he was an amateur.

"Boss, I feel there's no need to investigate further. You probably don't understand this company," Connor said after organizing his thoughts. "You could say this company represents authority."

Jason didn't argue, because he genuinely didn't know, having only been in the gold mining industry for a short time, let alone just arrived in Australia.

"Connor, he may be a big name in your industry, but for me, what I need is peace of mind," Jason said slowly.

"You won't lack money."

"What you need to do is very simple: just re-probe and verify the results based on the existing findings."

"I think this won't be difficult for you."

Connor nodded, agreeing with Jason's words. The results were right in front of him, and all the analytical data were clear at a glance. It was indeed very simple to go through the original detection points again.

But things are not that simple. Large companies have their own way of surviving, and small companies have their own way of living.

If we don't care about Remerius's resources, that's fine, but what if...?

Jason packed his bags and left; he still had to make a living in Australia.

"Don't worry, I've consulted them these past two days, and they'd be happy for us to re-explore," Jason reassured the hesitant Connor.

Connor breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved."

Pushing the data in front of Connor, Jason made his final request: "One more thing, I need to go with you on the investigation. Don't worry, I won't interfere."

"Um, are you sure?" Connor looked at the handsome, fair-skinned Jason and assured him, "You can rest assured, we are trustworthy and won't cheat you."

"I'm just curious. Don't worry, I will absolutely not interfere with your investigation," Jason assured again. Of course, he wouldn't tell Connor the specific reasons.

For the sake of the money, Connor agreed.

……

It was very fast; by the afternoon of the next day, Connor's exploration team was already in place.

The team was small, only eight people, and one of them was a woman.

Because it was a re-exploration of the original detection sites, the overall exploration difficulty was not high, so Connor and his team were quite relaxed about the exploration trip.

Diamond drilling rigs, sampling equipment, analytical equipment, measuring and positioning equipment, communication equipment, camp equipment, personal protective and first aid equipment, data office equipment, and so on.

There were eight people, including a drilling rig, a bulldozer, and the remaining four vehicles were fully loaded. Various precision equipment was placed in boxes to prevent damage.

After purchasing water, food, and some essential items, Jason arranged to meet them the next day.

No one had any objections to Jason going with them on the exploration.

Since the exploration was expected to take about two weeks, Albert and Old Hart decided to go on a trip, taking Lillian and Ellie sightseeing.

As for Ada and Hart, they originally wanted to go with Jason, but Jason persuaded them to give up.

So the two decided to take a long-awaited road trip in Australia!

Ronaldo and Swail planned to stay there, especially Swail, who had been spending his free time wandering around the Nobel mine these past few days.

The next morning, Jason joined the photographer and Connor's team.

After navigating a bumpy stretch of road, we proceeded along the route outlined in the information.

Two years have passed since the last exploration. Although the path that was opened up during the initial exploration is still faintly visible, it is now covered with thorns and must be cleared again.

Bulldozers cleared a path, shoveling away thorns and trees from the ground.

Behind them, a line of several cars followed, proceeding along the newly opened road.

Upon arriving at the coordinates marked on the data, Connor and his team immediately began their work, proceeding smoothly and efficiently with excellent teamwork.

The drilling rig was supported on all sides, stood tall, and rotated rapidly, plunging straight into the ground.

The machine hummed continuously as drill rods were connected one after another, and the depth increased.

Jason didn't disturb them. While Connor and the others were drilling, he had already activated his detection ability and started circling around.

When the drill bit reached the rock layer, it brought up the last soil sample.

Beside the drilling rig, Connor's teammates packed up the soil samples they had collected, labeled them with numbers, and then put them in the car.

Cass and his team meticulously filmed all the operations, which was undoubtedly highly professional for viewers unfamiliar with the gold mining industry.

Pull the drill rod out of the soil, disassemble it as you pull it out, then start again until it is completely pulled out, then put away the support and head to the next location.

This drilling alone took a considerable amount of time. Although there was data to support it, drilling is never a simple task!

After Connor and the others finished packing, Jason, who had been using his detection abilities to probe for gold, also returned.

The result? Of course, I'm very satisfied!

Jason uses a 15-meter detection radius and records the results in his notebook once they appear.

These results will help Jason accurately determine the gold reserves here, as well as the direction of the gold underground.

Judging from the results of each exploration, the exploration capabilities of the Remerius resources are truly not to be underestimated!

Their detection direction was exactly the same as the gold distribution detected by Jason. There might be some error, but this error is negligible.

Keep in mind that he had detection capabilities at his disposal, while they did not, relying entirely on advanced instruments and long-accumulated experience to achieve this.

This is something Jason can't help but admire!

With the help of bulldozers, the group arrived at the second exploration point in half an hour.

Although Jason already knew the outcome, he did not stop Connor and the others.

The roar of machinery resumed, echoing through the mountains and forests.
