科罗拉多州:山里有黄金!
1890年,怀俄明州和爱达荷州刚被确定为美国的第43和第44州,最后一场“淘金热”也刚刚开始。在科罗拉多斯普林斯西南73公里,一名被称为罗伯特·沃马克的“兼职牛仔/全职酒徒”发现当地一条小溪中有点点黄金闪闪发光,这鼓舞他挖出数不尽的勘探洞穴,以此试图寻找更多的黄金。结果怎样?科罗拉多州历史上最富饶的金矿出现了。
今天,克里普尔克里克和维克多金矿仍是一个活跃的采矿地,并成为科罗拉多州仅存的一处具有重要意义的黄金产地。2019年,这座金矿挖掘出超过11吨黄金,价值约5亿1100万美元。同年据报道,该金矿被证实还有约118吨黄金未被挖掘。
有如此多工作要做,也便意味着这里从不缺少货运任务,驾驶员们需要穿梭于采矿地和其它地方之间,运输重要的采矿设备与废石。在美洲卡车模拟即将推出的科罗拉多州DLC中,卡车司机们将能够在科罗拉多斯普林斯附近的这座巨型露天矿场协助完成日复一日的工作。在前往交付点的土路上行驶请多加小心。
这简直令人印象深刻,不是吗?我们也觉得太震撼了!请记得将多彩的科罗拉多州添加至 Steam 愿望单,如果你们还没有的话。这真的对我们很有帮助,同时也能在将来推出时及时获得通知。感谢大家的支持,我们期待在不久后与大家分享更多关于科罗拉多州的开发进展。
Colorado: There's Gold In Them Thar Hills!
The year is 1890, Wyoming and Idaho have just been admitted as the 43rd and 44th states in the USA and the last great North American "Gold Rush" has just begun. 73kms southwest of Colorado Springs, a "part-time cowboy and full-time drinker" known as Robert Womack has just found small specks of gold glittering in the local creek, which encouraged him to dig countless prospecting holes in an attempt to find more. The outcome? The richest gold mine in Colorado's history.
Today The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine is still an active mining area, being the only remaining significant producer of gold in the state. In 2019, the mine excavated over 11 tons of gold, which was priced at around $511 million USD. In the same year, the mine had reported to have an estimated 118 tons of proven and probable reserves which have yet to be excavated.
With plenty of work still to do, there is no shortage of jobs for drivers who haul important mining equipment and waste rock to and from the mining site. In our upcoming Colorado DLC for American Truck Simulator, truckers will be able to assist in the day to day operations of this enormous open-pit mine located near Colorado Springs. Just make sure to take extra care when driving on the dirt roads that lead into the delivery points.
Impressive right? We think it's AU-some! If you haven't already, be sure to add Colorful Colorado to your Steam Wishlist. It really helps support us and notifies you of its release, we thank you for your support and we look forward to sharing more of Colorado's development in the near future.
