The search for Gold in the Yukon started in 1874. Over 100 000 of people searching/hoping to find gold. Some became wealthy but majority went in vain. Many died along the way due to the weather conditions and the climate. Yukon up north resulting the cold temperature. Only about 40% got some gold. Gold is very valuable and it is mined. In most mines gold is invisible. Many people want to get money but they don't think about the conditions they have to go through.
The struggle is real for doing anything up north in Yukon! Especially mining! I remember as a class we were discussing about how much gold there was up north in Yukon but they mine at a slower rate compared to other mining stations in the world mainly because of the cold climate conditions. Also there isn't a lot of roads to transport and it is so far up north! It is going to cost a lot of money to ship this gold to the United States to profit!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was difficult in many different ways but most people thought it was worth a shot. Although it was very expensive the gold will cover up the cost and still have more because gold is worth a lot.
DeleteAre they still going to continue mining for gold in this generation?
