Return to Dawson.

The snow on the ground was more than ten centimeters, Mo Fan found a path where no one took out the car, lit the fire, installed the car with snow snow chains, and was about to go straight to White Horse City, when the satellite phone on the car suddenly rang.

"Hey. ”

"Damn, your phone has finally gotten through, where's it?"

"Dawson. You haven't returned home yet?"

"I'm at the police station, let's not talk about it, you can come over quickly. ”

It turned out that Zhang Dong had been unable to contact Mo Fan, so he called the police and asked Mo Fan to close the case.

Zhang Dong, Elson, Holke, Jeff, they are all in the police station.

"I'm dizzy, what are you doing? Zhang Dong came over and slapped Mo Fan on the shoulder.

"Didn't I tell you to go out for a trip...... Mo Fan spread his hands helplessly, and went to the police station to close the case.

The group followed back to the mine site.

Zhang Dong said: "The remaining veins only mined 881 ounces of gold, and your 300 ounces ......" Zhang Dong opened the safe, took out the gold and handed it to Mo Fan: "Weigh it." ”

"I can't trust you yet, what are your plans next?" Mo Fan looked at Elson.

"I have to go back to the U.S. and I'm going to Florida for a vacation. Elson laughed, "Thanks to you for giving up the mine." ”

"I'm going back to Toronto to buy a house. By the way, call me when the work starts next year. Holker said.

Jeff shrugged: "I'm a bachelor, and I don't have anywhere to go for the time being." ”

"Lacey and I are going on vacation to Tahiti. It's a place I've been longing for for a long time......," Zhang said.

Mo Fan touched the stubble on his chin and touched his habitual beard: "I'm afraid, your plan will be canceled." I went out this time not for tourism, but for prospecting. ”

Mo Fan's words instantly attracted the attention of several people, especially Elson, who knew that Mo Fan had always had the habit of going out to adventure in the wilderness, and he had a prospector qualification and was an ambitious guy.

"Found a gold mine?" Elson said.

"A big gold mine, you have to stay and help me in the next time, help me enclose the land. When it happens, I promise you all become multimillionaires. "It's not easy to take down a super-large gold mine, the procedures that need to be gone through are very complicated, and Mo Fan needs a reliable and trustworthy helper for this.

"Multimillionaires. Zhang Dong gasped.

"Multimillionaire!" Mo Fan was quite calm, he was shocked to find too many in the ruins of the Sun Palace before, so that he was a little numb now.

To share the benefits, Mo Fan was also forced to do so.

The Yukon has a clear regulation in this regard that the development of large-scale mines must be a group, a joint-stock company. Finding a few of them to join the stock is to act as a head......

Before acquiring the land, it is necessary to apply for the mining exploration right of the land.

The layout of mine development is roughly divided into seven steps: regional exploration, deposit demarcation, pre-feasibility study, feasibility study, financing, mine development, and closed pit reclamation.

Mo Fan didn't know much about these things, and spent a lot of money to hire a team of lawyers and consultants, because the area where the gold mine is located is located on the edge of the key protected area, within the scope of the large protected area, the application for mine exploration needs to be approved by the Canadian Mineral Resources Agency. This calls for lobbying......

The five worked together, with Jeff and Holke, two natives of Canada, in charge of the lobbying team. Elson is a Yankee and does not have a U.S. green card, and Zhang Dong only has a Canadian work visa, so they are responsible for sorting out the relevant legal documents together with a team of lawyers.

Prior to this, Mo Fan's MF Gold Mining Company conducted the first round of financing, contributing to Zhang Dong and Elson, and Mo Fan himself also financed the company, took out all the deposits, and after the evaluation of the appraisal agency, it had a fixed capital of 650,000 Canadian dollars and a working capital of 2.9 million. Among them, Zhang Dong and the four of them only contributed 100,000 yuan each......

And with the later financing, the equity capital of several people will be further diluted.

At the beginning of November, Jeff and Holke finally obtained the exploration rights of 3,600 square kilometers of the northern wasteland in the Tombstone SX department, and the exploration rights were limited to one year and can be extended. During the exploration period, the company does not need to pay any fees to the government, and will even get various subsidies, such as exploration tax rebates, fuel tax exemptions, etc., but these are completely unnecessary for Mo Fan.

At this time, Mo Fan, who was in Toronto, was relieved to hear the news, and dialed Suntech Auction House to make an appointment for treasure appreciation.

Treasure appreciation, the identification is definitely not the bronze brought out of the Sun Palace, ancient gold cake or something, but the dog's head gold. In China, it is often heard that the excavation of cultural relics abroad belongs to individuals, and I don't know where to hear the news. The United States has the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, the United Kingdom has the Treasure Act, and Russia also has relevant cultural relics protection laws, and the relevant laws are ...... Don't always feel that foreign countries have lax control over cultural relics, and under the long-term and stable development system, the degree of legislative perfection is higher than that at home.

Canada has a British-style parliamentary system, and many of its laws are similar to those of the United Kingdom and borrowed from the United States.

Canada's Treasure Act, similar to that of the United Kingdom, is also modeled on the United States' Opened Resources Conservation Act, where private excavations in Indian protected areas are illegal, and antiquities found in this area are confiscated directly, and only treasures excavated on private land can be kept for themselves, while antiquities excavated on national land are purchased by museums after valuation.

Now taking the bronze to the auction house for appraisal is not to say that it is an act of looking for death, but it is very troublesome, and it will be investigated. Do things step by step, and eat the meal one bite at a time......

Mo Fan took out twenty-three pieces of dog's head gold, the heaviest one was 11,208.4 grams, and after identification, the gold content was 69 percent. For this piece of dog's head gold, the auction will give an estimate of $3 million. All doghead gold, with a total estimated value of $14 million. The auction house wanted to hold a special auction of dog head gold for Mo Fan, but Mo Fan refused to accept it, and directly sold it to the auction house for 15 million Canadian dollars, but signed a contract that this batch of dog head gold could not be made public within one year.

Mo Fan continued to give money to take the gold mine......

Obtaining regional exploration rights is only the first step, the second step is the delineation of the deposit, that is, the exploration of the deposit reserve. Environmental benchmarking studies are carried out at the time of the delineation of the deposit, and the content of the pre-feasibility study is mainly to consider whether the project has economic benefits, determine the mineral reserves, and ensure long-term mining leases. This is the most expensive time......

Now that the snow is heavy and the mountains are closed, unless a large amount of money is spent on helicopter airlift equipment, and then a large amount of money is spent on professional exploration personnel, the exploration work will have to wait until June next year.
