Vernon, a seasoned individual with a background in the Merchant Marine and commercial ship piloting, has been actively involved in the mining industry for a considerable amount of time, although his endeavors have been met with limited success thus far.
Throughout his tenure in the mining industry, Vernon has accumulated a substantial collection of dredges, invested in cutting-edge equipment, and employed unconventional approaches to mining, which have often resulted in financial losses, as the expenses incurred have frequently exceeded the profits generated.
In the wake of a particularly arduous ice season that posed a significant threat to his financial stability, Vernon decided to take a hiatus from the mining industry, in order to regroup and reassess his strategies, with the ultimate goal of emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before.
As the seasoned mining veteran Vernon embarks on his latest endeavor, he's doing so with a brand-new, cutting-edge vessel, the Gold Ship Wild Ranger, a state-of-the-art, twin-engine, 65-foot catamaran designed to navigate the unforgiving waters of the Bering Sea.
With a keen sense of determination and a strong desire to prove his mettle, Vernon is eager to put the Wild Ranger's capabilities to the test, demonstrating his resilience and adaptability as he ventures into the harsh, yet lucrative, mining landscape of Nome.
Determined to defy the odds and turn his latest venture into a lucrative success, Vernon is driven by a burning desire to prove to himself and the people of Nome that he's discovered a valuable opportunity, rather than simply perpetuating a money-losing endeavor.
As he sets sail on the Wild Ranger, Vernon is poised to make a bold statement, one that will either solidify his reputation as a shrewd and successful miner or serve as a cautionary tale of the perils and pitfalls that lie ahead in the unforgiving world of mining.
