The test lot was 2.5 acres. Gold doesn't live on a test lot. It lives in old river valleys, down on the bedrock, so before I could mine any of it I had to build a valley: five miles of interior Alaska, carved by water. Then a river that really flows, a boreal forest, a midnight sun, a camp, a heavy-haul rig to move the machines in, and a wash plant.
The first run through the plant caught one milligram of gold. About half a percent of what went in. It's a start.
