    They don’t need $5 million. Having four claims myself (Elsa/Mayo area), there probably is in fact Gold present on that property. But… very very highly unlikely that there would be enough fleck/flake/nuggets to keep them feed and fuelled (everything needs petrol/diesel). Great summer experiences though. Btw. Gold (placer) claims are literally free (stake unregistered land + registration fees ($100?)). But you could make enough to make it a fun (albeit short) Summer. They should just go up and do it with no outside investment.

    • @dontbedummy8101
      @dontbedummy8101 Před rokem +1

      Yeah, chemically gold is everywhere on earth. The issue is the COST associated to get them. In most cases the cost is not worth it.

    • @rscott2247
      @rscott2247 Před rokem +1

      There's even a store up in Dawson City where one could buy all the placer equipment which would probably require a $1000-2500 investment, plus camping gear, grub. Most of the annual guys up there got or lease their own heavy equipment. Selling the gold is another issue,
      If I were in those guys shoes I'd be asking for 5 million and give the Dragons an 80% return.

    But instead wants to sell his equipment to these lost lil lambs for 10% of the projected year 1 profits. These summer children ought’a go back home to their mommies n milk n cookies

    The Dragons had a few teachings in this one, but they didn't go quite far enough, instead making fools out of the pair. This offer is a bad investment, even if they were experienced miners. The venture is likely a lousy life commitment for the participants that would damage families.
    You need three whole binders full of geology surveys, construction plans, reports, and information to get a deal like that after leadership has spent a couple years working on it.
