While my Mr. Good, Mr. Bad, and Mr. Ugly prospectors are busy with their hard work, I have time to look around the Yukon gameland. And that's what I see there.
Quite a lot of confiscated slots have appeared recently. People stop paying rent fees and their slots go to in-game auction. Look at the screenshot below -- the pink squares are confiscated slots:

Some slots even have half-built workshops on them!
I don't know why it's happening, maybe a coronavirus crisis or something. However, the exchange rate of PGL token at Newdex is quite "ordinary", without much fluctuation.
This prospectors exodus started only a few days ago. And it's a good opportunity to get a plot with a workshop at the official rental rate.
If only someone would abandon a gold mine for me...
