Kahill Mine

Kahill mine

Kahill mine lies at the bottom of Kahill Peak, nestled in a dense jungle valley where native plants still dominate the vegetation. It is near Kahill Outpost, but is not easily findable unless one knows where to look.

There is currently some basic accommodation with very little equipment, supporting three shallow tunnels. The mine is at the early stages of exploring a gold and silver deposit, which could have much greater potential.

The rights to own and develop the site and exploit the mineral vein fully are currently being advertised at the Town Hall in Hamilton Square, for $350,000. It is currently owned by Vladimir Teresto, who's lawyer explains that the reason for sale is that the Terestos wish to specialize in producing finished technological goods from raw materials, and not get sidetracked into extraction and refining the raw materials. He claims it is not the security challenge of the site which has put them off, as they could hire mercenaries for that. The Teresto's would be happy to purchase any ore or metal produced from the site, from whoever runs it, at market rates.

The mineral vein might support a workforce of up to 75 miners, plus the site could be developed to include a smelting operation to provide refined metal rather than just ore. However a substantial number of armed guards would be needed in addition, both to protect against the bandits & dangerous fauna in the area, and to prevent workers fleeing their poorly paid and dangerous jobs in unpleasant conditions. A skilled foreman would also improve the efficiency of the operation there.

Note: this POI is not visible on the Kahill Outpost map prior to being purchased, as there is very little visible infrastructure and it is in a location hard to find. Once the rights are purchased, the location becomes visible in the south-west of the map as an interactable building.
