Remote Prospecting?

[Micropedes1]

Thank you, Jim.

Remote locations do not scare me. But then again, I have the wilderness skills to be self sufficient. And I am not too squeamish about what I eat, just as long as it is not kicking too violently when I swallow. I would rather NOT have to walk out after misjudging a gravel bar landing. But I know of those that have and survived. A knife, a gun, and a lighter are basic necessities.

File a flight plan. And carry a dependable satellite phone. You never know when your life might depend upon it.

Glen, this has nothing to do with remote prospecting, bu I was curious. Recently I had occasion to drive across Texas on Interstate #10. At that time I wondered where your spread was located in relation to the Interstate. Are you near it?

[Micropedes1]

Half way between Dallas and Houston (north of I-10)

Coordinates: 31.389458, -96.461415

I am surrounded by timber and oil wells.

Thanks Glen. I thought about you when I started to see oil wells, but traveling on I-10 that part of Texas was pretty desolate, mostly desert. Eastern Texas was beautiful.

You will appreciate that desert when the price of fuel gets higher. They just discovered another petroleum reservoir out there (at depth) that should be larger than the Saudi fields.

I hate to change the subject...

While plotting anomalies, I discovered a major mineral deposit. It's a remote area with a long history of GOLD production from placer GOLD.

My prediction is a multi-million ounce GOLD/SILVER deposit at depth.

Ask me how I found it.

How?

Hi Goldmember,

This was an interesting find!

It has since come under extensive discussion. All I did was begin plotting Anomalies listed on the Project Report. There is this ONE discrete anomaly on the headwaters. I wasn't at all familiar with the area - but as it turns out, it has quite a history of GOLD mining including a bucket dredge that is still there! The discussion that has followed this last post has been on another thread...

Kougarok River;

This (remote) area represents a an interesting subject for discussion.

Fly to Nome... Jump in your truck. Load up beer and grub and drive 85 +/- miles up to the end of the Taylor highway. Park the truck. Hop on your four wheeler with beer and grub and go another 8 miles up the trail to the camp. The river is about a mile across tundra from the road.

Ideas?

Chuck, did you make a mistake when you said The Taylor Highway? This is nowhere near Nome, but rather begins in Tetlin Junction on The Alaska Highway. Also called The Top of the World Highway.
