1
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,236
It's been a real struggle all season,
2
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:27,236
figuring out where to put plants
3
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:31,036
and hauling pay long distance
and just on and on and on.
4
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:32,336
So it's been hard.
5
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,976
Four months into his most
ambitious season ever.
6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,836
Parker schnabel is struggling
7
00:00:38,860 --> 00:00:42,836
to bring in enough gold
from his dominion creek claim.
8
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:46,700
Overall, the gold, it's
been very consistent.
9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,476
Consistently poor.
10
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,736
We need to figure out how to
do close to 1000 oz. Every week.
11
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,776
Initially gunning for 10,000 oz.,
12
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,536
Parker is now hoping he
can bring in at least 8000.
13
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,500
And the problem is this week we
only have two wash plants running.
14
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:05,576
Sad.
15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,836
I'm starting to get used to
having three plants running
16
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:10,330
and having a lot of nice,
big, clean ups, right?
17
00:01:11,660 --> 00:01:16,236
To hit his goal, Parker has
been running three wash plants.
18
00:01:16,260 --> 00:01:19,776
But last week the
operation on sulphur creek
19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,530
ran out of stockpiled
pay dirt, shutting it down.
20
00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:31,236
Now, as a skeleton
crew digs out more pay,
21
00:01:31,260 --> 00:01:36,236
he's back to depending on the
unreliable dominion creek claims
22
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:39,536
including the infamous long cut.
23
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,236
Mitch is up at the long cut.
24
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,536
The cut's been just a
brutal one all season,
25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,036
and the gold's been kind of
little less than I had hoped.
26
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:48,636
But I'm glad Mitch is up there.
27
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:50,536
I'm confident he'll get through it.
28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,400
We need that cut to pay out.
29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,636
Right now we're pulling the pay dirt
30
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:00,336
from the downstream
end of the long cut,
31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,376
and we've got a lot of material
32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,776
that's got to make it up to
Roxanne to keep it running.
33
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,436
The long cut's gold
34
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,536
has been checkered for 16 weeks.
35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,636
Now, Mitch is on a mission to find more
36
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:14,676
and deliver a big week.
37
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:16,536
I'm just trying to get as much gold
38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,636
out of this long cut as possible.
39
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:21,976
Parker doesn't want to pull
anything from any other project.
40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,676
And there's no spares,
41
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:26,236
which means to keep
Roxanne running 24/7,
42
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:28,930
these 60-ton trucks
have to be hustling here.
43
00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:34,236
To increase their gold
haul with limited crew,
44
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:39,076
Mitch is using two giant a60 rock trucks.
45
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:45,830
Together, the mega-truck duo
can deliver 600 yards of dirt an hour.
46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,136
Those a60s have been just lifesavers.
47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,676
They're packing around almost double
48
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:53,906
of what some of the
other trucks are packing.
49
00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:57,576
In order to keep up, we're
overloading them quite a bit,
50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,836
and it's very impressive
what they'll handle.
51
00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:03,136
I've talked to my dad a
lot about loading trucks,
52
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,036
like, "do you get greedy
and overload them a lot,
53
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:07,636
or do you go with what they're rated for?"
54
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:12,436
And my dad's like, "no, just
go with what they're rated for."
55
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:15,630
Maybe it's 'cause my dad
says not to do it is why I do it.
56
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:22,636
This season, we have a
bunch of new operators,
57
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:24,530
and this is going to be a big test here.
58
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:27,976
We are going as fast as we can.
59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,630
Me and the boys are flying today.
60
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:34,876
Operating one of the a60s
61
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:39,230
is 22-year-old greenhorn James Kurtz.
62
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,276
Definitely a good learning lesson
63
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:45,376
for it'll be my first time ever
64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,230
working at a mine before
and running equipment.
65
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:56,476
What was that noise?
66
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:58,460
That didn't sound good.
67
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,676
It's beeping at me.
68
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,600
Hey, Mitch, you got a copy?
69
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,136
We've got a problem.
70
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,476
I'm pretty sure this truck just went down.
71
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:11,936
Man! That's not what we need right now.
72
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,000
Okay, dude, just park that thing.
73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,000
Let me pull up out of
the way for everybody.
74
00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:24,736
That sounded worse.
75
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,476
That... okay, I'm gonna
park it here, I guess.
76
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:31,730
Hey, Mitch, I've got, like,
four error codes flashing at me.
77
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,076
Hoses are all.
78
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,736
That's a hell of a mess.
79
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,436
This is the companion flange that
mounts... the drive shaft mounts to.
80
00:04:46,460 --> 00:04:50,300
This must have been
cracked, and it snapped.
81
00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:52,836
As soon as he backed down the ramp,
82
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:55,476
the wheels are driving
the broken drive shaft,
83
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,400
and it's just blendarizing everything.
84
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,500
Yeah. That's heavy.
85
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:06,376
It's probably the worst
one I've seen actually.
86
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,336
It's in a tough spot
with 60 tons in the back.
87
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,376
The flange connecting the drive shaft
88
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,976
to the rear wheels has snapped,
89
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,436
destroying all the brake lines
90
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:22,036
and hydraulic hoses
that power the dump box.
91
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:24,076
There's a drive shaft
that goes to the front axle.
92
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:28,136
Obviously, we need to
get the pay out of the back,
93
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,130
and then limp this thing back to the yard.
94
00:05:32,660 --> 00:05:34,400
All of this does something.
95
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:38,136
These hoses are okay,
96
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,536
but everything that
these attach to outward is.
97
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,836
The lift cylinders don't function
properly, so we can't even dump the box.
98
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:49,276
Let's just start yanking
everything out and run new.
99
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:50,976
Taylor's plan,
100
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,976
replace the hoses to
operate the truck's box,
101
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,976
and dump the 60 tons of pay.
102
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,536
Then, using only the front 2-wheel drive,
103
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,476
limp the mega truck back
to the yard for the full repair.
104
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:07,636
The other half of this hose...
105
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:10,800
It does a lot of damage when
the drive line breaks like that.
106
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,336
Okay, let's try it again.
107
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,337
Okay. I'll try to...
108
00:06:14,361 --> 00:06:16,500
Lift up as much as you can right there.
109
00:06:17,860 --> 00:06:19,036
Okay, let's try, bro.
110
00:06:19,060 --> 00:06:21,436
It seems like it's working.
111
00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:23,000
We'll just dump it right here.
112
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,076
That's pretty impressive.
113
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:55,700
In not a good way.
114
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:59,176
Experienced operators are expensive,
115
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,436
and inexperienced operators...
116
00:07:01,460 --> 00:07:03,076
They're also expensive.
117
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:04,336
Just in different ways.
118
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,076
There's a lot of work to be done
119
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:08,736
to get it back to running condition.
120
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,136
How long is it gonna take?
121
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,076
This pay pile is getting pretty small.
122
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,236
This thing is not safe to run.
123
00:07:14,260 --> 00:07:16,600
- It's gonna be down for a bit.
- Got you.
124
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,976
Taylor limps the truck back to the yard
125
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,936
to replace its drive shaft,
126
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,436
leaving Mitch just one 60-ton truck
127
00:07:27,460 --> 00:07:29,330
to haul pay to Roxanne.
128
00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:32,976
Hey, we're gonna shut this thing down.
129
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,076
We can't keep up with
only one truck here,
130
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:38,900
so let's just let her run
out of dirt and turn her off.
131
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:51,536
Parker wants 8000 oz.
132
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,636
That means we need
dirt going out of this cut
133
00:07:53,660 --> 00:07:55,336
to a wash plant, keeping it running.
134
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,636
But right now, that's not gonna happen
135
00:07:56,660 --> 00:07:57,960
until we can fix some truck.
136
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:21,836
There's just a month and
a half left of this season,
137
00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:24,736
and klondike kingpin Tony beets
138
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,600
is running at limited capacity.
139
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:50,336
After plowing through
his ready to sluice ground
140
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,176
on his Indian river claims,
141
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,700
Tony is waiting for the sun
to thaw the frozen pay dirt.
142
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,236
Both plants are shut
down at the moment.
143
00:09:00,260 --> 00:09:02,736
We're waiting for pay.
144
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,136
The pay we have here is frozen solid.
145
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,976
In the meantime, no
pay, no plants going.
146
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,636
So that means we're not
catching any gold at the moment.
147
00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:16,436
Until cousin Mike's crew finish stripping
148
00:09:16,460 --> 00:09:19,576
the frozen ground, Tony's only gold
149
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,700
is coming from paradise hill.
150
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:37,136
Well, they're shut down in the Indian
151
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,136
because they've got
a bunch of frozen pay,
152
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,130
and they can't feed the two plants.
153
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,476
So they're kind of a little bit reliant
154
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:48,536
on me right now, sluicing
as fast as possible.
155
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,636
In charge of the trommel on paradise hill,
156
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:53,936
Tony's youngest son, Mike beets.
157
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,500
A rough ride.
158
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,636
Running the trommel all out
159
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:35,176
has filled the 30-acre
settling pond with silt.
160
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,836
If dirty water spills
into the nearby creek,
161
00:10:38,860 --> 00:10:43,330
environmental authorities
will shut down Tony's operation.
162
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,976
To prevent this,
163
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,300
Tony has no option but to stop sluicing.
164
00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:11,176
Paradise hill has a series
of three connected ponds.
165
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,076
They clean the trommel's
ls dirty sluice water
166
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:17,036
by allowing silt to settle on the bottom,
167
00:11:17,060 --> 00:11:18,836
while clean water flows
168
00:11:18,860 --> 00:11:20,800
through the culverts back to the creek.
169
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:24,336
Now the top pond is full
170
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,676
and silt is clogging the culvert
171
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:29,476
creating muddy discharge water.
172
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,736
To fix it, the beets crew
must build up the dikes
173
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,976
and raise the culvert to
make the pond deeper,
174
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,236
giving the silt space to settle,
175
00:11:38,260 --> 00:11:40,136
cleaning the water.
176
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,636
I don't know if I want rock
trucks backing up that road
177
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:45,200
'cause that's the quickest
way for me losing a rock truck.
178
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:50,860
Yeah.
179
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:15,476
To raise the dikes roads,
180
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:19,236
Mike's crew uses this
specialty side dumper
181
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:22,300
ideal for widening the narrow roads.
182
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:25,976
It's late in the season
and the pressure is on.
183
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,336
So right now we're down on the dike,
184
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,000
making the road a bit longer and wider.
185
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,276
As the trucks dump their load,
186
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:39,836
Mike levels the dike
roads with the d11 dozer.
187
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:41,976
Much better to shut
down for these two days
188
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,036
and do the work proper than it is
189
00:12:45,060 --> 00:12:47,676
to risk being possibly shut
down for the rest of the year.
190
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,436
These shutdowns are
gonna cost a lot of money,
191
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:54,336
but there's no point in crying
over spilled milk. Will happen.
192
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,036
You will have to fix it.
193
00:12:56,060 --> 00:12:57,736
Crying, whining, complaining,
194
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400
and saying "woe is
me," ain't gonna solve it.
195
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Sure.
196
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,036
Sakes!
197
00:13:26,060 --> 00:13:29,036
First time ever I've
seen a truck here flip.
198
00:13:29,060 --> 00:13:30,736
I wouldn't stand anywhere
near the front of the truck
199
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,836
'cause it could all come over.
200
00:13:32,860 --> 00:13:36,376
At paradise hill, disaster has struck
201
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,076
while Mike beets' crew
202
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:41,030
rush to build up the settling pond's dike.
203
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,130
That frame is completely.
204
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:47,336
He went through the
corner with a full load.
205
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,236
That's why it started
to flip in the first place.
206
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:52,436
I should have been watching it more,
207
00:13:52,460 --> 00:13:55,236
but the back tire caught
the side of the dike
208
00:13:55,260 --> 00:13:57,676
and it just slowly started pulling it in.
209
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:00,436
So by the time I stopped,
it had... it kept moving,
210
00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:02,476
and then it started grabbing the truck.
211
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:08,000
The 10-ton side dumper
now hangs off a 15-foot drop.
212
00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:10,630
Give me a chain.
213
00:14:13,260 --> 00:14:16,836
Mike's trying to position the chain here
214
00:14:16,860 --> 00:14:19,436
so that we get it back out of the ditch.
215
00:14:19,460 --> 00:14:21,976
The thing still wants to fall that way.
216
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,636
To keep the truck from
rolling into the pond,
217
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:30,000
Mike uses his 220 excavator
to yank it back onto the road.
218
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,500
That chain is under
a great deal of stress.
219
00:14:47,460 --> 00:14:48,800
Yeah.
220
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:59,036
Take that hoe, drive it to the end.
221
00:14:59,060 --> 00:15:00,206
It's just too much weight,
222
00:15:00,230 --> 00:15:03,236
so I have to try to
grab it from two points.
223
00:15:03,260 --> 00:15:05,636
To double his lifting power,
224
00:15:05,660 --> 00:15:11,676
Mike brings in a 480 excavator
rated to lift up to 20 tons.
225
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:14,700
- It doesn't help with the fly.
- The hell!
226
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,630
It's gonna have to be a bit of a
twin process here trying to flip this.
227
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:22,976
So we have to find
another spot on this truck
228
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,800
where I can lift two.
229
00:15:29,260 --> 00:15:32,230
Okay, I'm gonna start
lifting and you start lifting.
230
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:47,100
Nope! That ain't gonna work.
231
00:15:51,460 --> 00:15:53,376
I simply don't have enough power
232
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,030
to do this the way I want to do it.
233
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,236
It's just too much weight.
234
00:15:57,260 --> 00:15:59,436
That means I can't apply the
right force the right directions
235
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:01,576
'cause I have no room to work.
236
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,036
It'd be so much easier
if I just detach the thing.
237
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:06,830
But I don't want to do that.
That's gonna be a ton of work.
238
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,600
The flies!
239
00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:11,300
Argh!
240
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,236
What's the plan now?
241
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:17,876
It's really hard to think of solutions
242
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:20,160
when I'm constantly getting interrupted.
243
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:24,400
I don't even know if I have
enough chains to do what I want.
244
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,136
Do we have any other half-inch chains?
245
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,300
I don't know.
246
00:16:29,660 --> 00:16:31,976
Everything seems to take forever.
247
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,936
I think we're gonna have to bite
the bullet and stop this right now.
248
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,230
We're gonna be down
for what, two, three days.
249
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:40,436
Until the truck is rescued,
250
00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:43,376
raising the dike is stopped cold,
251
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,536
and Tony's trommel can't sluice any gold.
252
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,536
I'm annoyed because
somehow it's my fault
253
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,676
when they do something stupid.
254
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,400
And just one little up
and guess what happens.
255
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:55,940
I might have to ask my dad to
come over here and give a hand.
256
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,036
Forty miles down the road
257
00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:14,636
I'm finding being out on
my own a lot more peaceful.
258
00:17:14,660 --> 00:17:17,530
I am definitely not getting as
much sleep as I should be, but.
259
00:17:18,460 --> 00:17:20,676
I will persevere.
260
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:24,836
Mike's brother and first
year mine boss Kevin beets
261
00:17:24,860 --> 00:17:30,336
is working around the clock to
keep his fledgling operation afloat.
262
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:35,076
I'm very glad to finally have some
gold coming out of the ground.
263
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:36,336
We just started sluicing,
264
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:41,136
so we still have quite a ways
to go before we hit 1000 oz.
265
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,076
Kevin's invested
nearly two million dollars
266
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:47,430
of his life savings to
start up his own mine.
267
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:51,436
Since deciding to run 24/7,
268
00:17:51,460 --> 00:17:54,136
he's brought in 155 oz.
269
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,230
But now, he has a new problem.
270
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:00,436
The plant is going through our pay pile
271
00:18:00,460 --> 00:18:02,336
a lot quicker than we thought.
272
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:07,436
So it really means we've got to
hammer down on getting another cut
273
00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:09,976
opened up before it's too late.
274
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,800
In order to hit 1000 oz., we will
need to be running... 24 hours.
275
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,836
Today, we're just working
276
00:18:20,860 --> 00:18:23,636
on trying to open up
the lynx cut extension
277
00:18:23,660 --> 00:18:25,976
and get it down to pay.
278
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,676
It needs to happen super bad,
279
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,436
because that pile is getting
chewed down so quickly,
280
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:32,806
it's actually getting scary.
281
00:18:32,830 --> 00:18:36,076
But I keep stressing it that it
could be a really early cold winter,
282
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:37,336
and that will not be good.
283
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,000
We need to find our 1000 oz. Minimum.
284
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,436
If you look at that mountain,
we're in a huge belly here,
285
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:52,130
so hopefully that means maybe
there'll be some huge nuggets over here.
286
00:18:55,660 --> 00:18:58,130
Right now, we're still
stripping overburdened.
287
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,737
We're trying to get down to pay.
288
00:18:59,761 --> 00:19:01,836
We've got a little bit of a water problem,
289
00:19:01,860 --> 00:19:06,000
and it's making for a couple
of sloppy days here in the cut.
290
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,500
As you can see, we've got
tons and tons of water in here.
291
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,076
Let's start turning out and
taking a different path here.
292
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,836
It's just turn way out and go over there.
293
00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:19,230
It'll be way easier.
294
00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:28,636
As you can see, everything's
saturated in the cut.
295
00:19:28,660 --> 00:19:30,876
There's some muddy
spots in the back of the cut.
296
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:31,900
There's a mud hole.
297
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,200
Sakes.
298
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,376
Hey, Brennan, you got a copy? Brennan?
299
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,676
Hello?
300
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,076
Hey, buddy, I'm stuck
down here in the cut.
301
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:53,736
Yeah? Okay.
302
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,436
You've got to get this water dealt with.
303
00:19:55,460 --> 00:19:56,606
What a.
304
00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:59,076
I'm gonna need to get another
pump in here immediately.
305
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:01,330
And we have no extra pumps.
306
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:06,436
Earlier this season,
the lynx cut flooded...
307
00:20:06,460 --> 00:20:07,576
Yeah, I need that pump.
308
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,676
Until then, we're really shut down.
309
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:13,330
Forcing Kevin to borrow
a pump from Tony.
310
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:17,076
This is the pump Tony
sent for me to borrow.
311
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:18,576
Whoo! Nice work, kev!
312
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,936
But he's since run out of favors
313
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,860
from the bank of mom and dad.
314
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,676
And the borrowed
pump is now being used
315
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,276
to run Kevin's wash
plant... Looking pretty good!
316
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:33,130
Leaving him without a spare.
317
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,100
I think I might try and
nudge you backwards.
318
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:55,000
Thanks, Brennan. You're the man.
319
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,076
The main reason why there's
so much water on this side
320
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:01,336
is because it's bleeding
over from the wash plant side
321
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:04,636
and it's really hindering us
from getting this cut stripped,
322
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:05,736
and the pay out of here.
323
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,076
I can't wait any longer
to get a pump in here.
324
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,176
The two-acre lynx cut extension
325
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,976
shares a wall with the
wash plant's settling pond.
326
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,276
The sluice water is seeping through it
327
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:22,676
turning the new cut's
floor into a swampy mess.
328
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:25,976
To strip the cut without
shutting down the wash plant,
329
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,976
Brennan needs a new
pump to drain the extension
330
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,836
allowing the trucks to
operate without getting stuck,
331
00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:37,600
haul out the overburden and hit pay dirt.
332
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,236
Hey, Brennan.
333
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:51,976
I can't dig pay down here, dude.
334
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,936
I've been needing another
pump for, like, a week now.
335
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,476
I know.
336
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:59,530
We just got to do a cleanup
with you to pay for the thing.
337
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:03,076
Can we get another pump from Tony?
338
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:04,836
I'm not going to ask Tony until I have to.
339
00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:06,776
I've fixed enough with Tony.
340
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,236
I'm just really struggling down here, man.
341
00:22:09,260 --> 00:22:11,136
I'm just getting frustrated as like,
342
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,036
if that pay pile runs out, that shuts off,
343
00:22:13,060 --> 00:22:14,236
we don't have any money coming in,
344
00:22:14,260 --> 00:22:16,300
and I feel like that's on my shoulders.
345
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:18,836
Like, what do you want me to do here?
346
00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:20,736
I need a pump.
347
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,236
I don't know what to say, like,
348
00:22:22,260 --> 00:22:23,976
we don't have the cash right now.
349
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,176
We don't got a pump.
350
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,700
Tough.
351
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,336
Okay, well, I'm gonna...
352
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,230
Yeah, I don't know what else to say here.
353
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:42,930
Get out of my face for a while.
354
00:22:46,860 --> 00:22:49,400
I need a pump.
355
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:59,100
Weird. Where the he's going?
356
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,736
Those 60-ton trucks,
357
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,636
they've had a huge
impact on the mine site.
358
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:20,836
And so when one of those goes down
359
00:23:20,860 --> 00:23:23,736
for whatever stupid little things
have been going on with them,
360
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,836
things can grind to a halt in a hurry
361
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:29,636
if we don't get them fixed
and keep them running.
362
00:23:29,660 --> 00:23:34,236
In Parker's long cut sluicing is on hold
363
00:23:34,260 --> 00:23:37,736
after a 60-ton rock truck broke down,
364
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,636
stopping pay dirt from reaching the plant.
365
00:23:40,660 --> 00:23:43,676
Three hundred tons an hour of pay
that's not getting to the plant right now,
366
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:45,900
and this thing's going
to be down for a bit.
367
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:50,736
Just hammer the box against the stops
368
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:51,976
and we'll try to get that out of there,
369
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,730
so it's not going to land on anyone.
370
00:23:56,660 --> 00:24:01,536
That's enough dirt to kill
someone, and we don't want that.
371
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,776
It's going to fall out at some point.
372
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,536
We want it to fall out right now.
373
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,130
There it comes.
374
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,636
Maybe you get off your high
horse and throw some tools around.
375
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:14,676
You want this thing hauling pay?
376
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:16,736
You know, Mitch wants us at the plant.
377
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:17,776
Yeah?
378
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,730
He wants us hauling pay at Roxanne.
379
00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:21,076
Dude, we're on it.
380
00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:23,700
Okay? We can't do it any faster.
381
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:25,960
Okay? So stop hounding us.
382
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,576
To get the a60 back on the road,
383
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,136
and Roxanne back on the gold,
384
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,300
Taylor needs to replace
the broken drive shaft.
385
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,736
Let's get this changed.
386
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,236
I'll grab some wheel Chucks.
387
00:24:41,260 --> 00:24:42,400
Let's do it.
388
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,636
Here's our new harness...
389
00:24:46,660 --> 00:24:49,836
We need to lay it into the machine.
390
00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:51,836
Taylor's first step,
391
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:56,536
replace all the destroyed
brake lines and electrical wires
392
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,436
before fitting and
installing a new drive shaft.
393
00:25:00,460 --> 00:25:02,636
Here. We can start feeding it through?
394
00:25:02,660 --> 00:25:04,976
Yeah, they are...
395
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,636
Screaming to have
this truck back in the cut.
396
00:25:07,660 --> 00:25:11,130
So we're busting our
ass to get it back out there.
397
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,636
So we... we've just put the harness in.
398
00:25:15,660 --> 00:25:17,536
Everything is pretty secured.
399
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,436
Janko's just I jumped in the skid steer
400
00:25:20,460 --> 00:25:23,900
to go grab our drive shaft.
401
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,776
So, the next step is to
crane our drive shaft in here.
402
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,236
All right. The final step to this job?
403
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:34,000
Send this thing back to work.
404
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:38,200
These are the ways that they're
supposed to look... undamaged.
405
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Swing it into position.
406
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:45,530
All right. We've got a
drive shaft in the air.
407
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:48,736
It's go-time.
408
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,000
Look at that bad boy.
409
00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:53,830
Yeah.
410
00:25:55,660 --> 00:25:57,236
This has to line up perfectly,
411
00:25:57,260 --> 00:26:01,436
because these grooves have to
meet with the companion plunge.
412
00:26:01,460 --> 00:26:06,436
We're just throwing some bolts
here in the drive shaft on the deaf side,
413
00:26:06,460 --> 00:26:09,300
and then we can line
up the park break side.
414
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,036
The transmission's in neutral.
415
00:26:13,060 --> 00:26:15,236
It can sit there in free wheel right now,
416
00:26:15,260 --> 00:26:16,836
with the engine running there.
417
00:26:16,860 --> 00:26:19,876
It wants to do it on its own.
418
00:26:19,900 --> 00:26:22,700
It could go sideways,
but it's really dangerous.
419
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,176
I have pressure on it
right now with my pry bar,
420
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,476
so I'm pushing the brake
pad against the rotor.
421
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:31,876
So I'm just... Just
bouncing it a little bit
422
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:34,236
to release pressure, to
get everything lined up.
423
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,176
As soon as we get the bolts in there,
424
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,800
we can... We can shut the machine off.
425
00:26:39,860 --> 00:26:41,100
All right. Release.
426
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,236
How much?
427
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:45,700
We got to go about 30 degrees.
428
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,730
A little more.
429
00:26:51,260 --> 00:26:52,500
Little more.
430
00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:54,830
Okay, hold it right there.
431
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,200
That's one installed drive shaft.
432
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:01,807
Okay.
433
00:27:01,831 --> 00:27:03,636
Mitch will be stoked
we got this thing done.
434
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:05,836
We can give him a shout,
and he can come pick it up.
435
00:27:05,860 --> 00:27:07,800
- Yeah. Nice, buddy.
- All right, bro.
436
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,576
I'm glad I can start trucking again.
437
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,230
Moving more pay for the boys.
438
00:27:15,260 --> 00:27:17,576
We're back to hauling as fast as we can.
439
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,636
Taylor is a wizard and what he does,
440
00:27:19,660 --> 00:27:21,800
so he's getting... He got it back up in...
441
00:27:22,660 --> 00:27:24,300
Only a couple of...
442
00:27:27,260 --> 00:27:30,336
And hopefully she doesn't
break down anytime soon again.
443
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:32,376
After just six hours,
444
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,400
the ace 60 is back,
hauling pay to the plant.
445
00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:39,336
Time to fire up Roxanne.
446
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:42,776
And Mitch can start sluicing again.
447
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,936
You know, definitely not the way
448
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,476
we thought the day was going to go,
449
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:47,600
but we got the trucks
back up and running.
450
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,076
We're back sluicing,
451
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:53,860
and we're going to try
and keep it that way.
452
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:17,030
The truck was tired, decided
it wanted to take a nap.
453
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,576
After shutting down
his only running plant
454
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,776
to rebuild a dyke road,
455
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,736
Tony beets hasn't caught an
ounce of gold in over 24 hours.
456
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,076
And a truck crash is
adding to his sluicing delay.
457
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,076
I managed to get the
trailer out of the hole
458
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:37,930
so it's not sitting there bending.
459
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,460
Well, I was hoping to just get
the whole thing to come down over.
460
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,330
Yeah.
461
00:29:13,260 --> 00:29:17,236
Tony wants to unhook
the truck from the trailer
462
00:29:17,260 --> 00:29:20,376
and rescue each piece separately.
463
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,400
To do that, he must first remove the
metal pin that's holding them together.
464
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:31,700
Yeah.
465
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,300
What do you want me to do?
466
00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:07,260
Yeah. We are two different pieces.
467
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,676
Tony can now flip the truck
and trailer upright individually.
468
00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:19,900
First up, the 20-ton semi-truck.
469
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:34,300
I am.
470
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,336
I am.
471
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,636
At nearly 40 feet long,
472
00:30:57,660 --> 00:30:59,336
Tony wants to ensure the truck
473
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,336
doesn't smash into the excavator
474
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,260
when Mike pulls it over.
475
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,036
While attempting to
rescue a flipped truck.
476
00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:30,330
Mike has nearly smashed
the semi into his own excavator.
477
00:31:34,860 --> 00:31:36,600
I knew exactly where
she was gonna land.
478
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:18,400
So everything's fixed, back to work.
479
00:32:19,460 --> 00:32:20,976
The pressure is on though a little bit,
480
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,436
so we've got to make some rounds here
481
00:32:23,460 --> 00:32:25,336
and try to get caught up for the delay.
482
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,436
After nearly two days,
the truck is rolling again,
483
00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:32,700
and the dyke repair is back on track.
484
00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:40,736
I want to get this up as soon as possible.
485
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,436
You can get fired up.
486
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:43,936
The final step,
487
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:49,236
Mike raises the culvert to get the
settling ponds ready for sluicing.
488
00:32:49,260 --> 00:32:51,600
We're gonna hit the
sluice to make the gold.
489
00:32:58,660 --> 00:33:00,536
Dyke is done. I got it lifted up.
490
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,076
Culvert's back in.
491
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:04,800
Now I'm just gonna go start up
the pump and I can get sluicing.
492
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,400
Time to get sluicing.
493
00:33:43,460 --> 00:33:46,136
First year mine boss, Kevin beets,
494
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,976
is running out of time and pay dirt.
495
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,736
So I had talked with Brennan, and
he is understandably concerned about
496
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,576
our pond for settling.
497
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,000
I honestly have no clue where he is now.
498
00:34:01,300 --> 00:34:04,636
After Kevin denied
foreman Brennan a pump
499
00:34:04,660 --> 00:34:08,130
to drain the new cut,
Brennan disappeared.
500
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,976
Brennan's gone, and he was the
only one that had the know-how.
501
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,376
And now I wish he taught me a lot more,
502
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,800
and showed me how to
do everything before he left.
503
00:34:27,660 --> 00:34:29,736
I just had to take matters
into my own hands there
504
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,800
and help Kevin and faith out a little bit.
505
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,576
What we have here is a pump
that I went and purchased from
506
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,436
a really good friend of mine upstream.
507
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:48,436
And so I'm actually super
excited to see how it works.
508
00:34:48,460 --> 00:34:50,636
Then we'll pump some
water and we'll dry her cut out.
509
00:34:50,660 --> 00:34:54,976
I'd imagine by tomorrow you'd see
a lot of this surface water dissipated,
510
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,436
which is what we need right now.
511
00:34:56,460 --> 00:34:58,236
They started hauling
overburdened gravel off
512
00:34:58,260 --> 00:35:00,800
and started filling that
pay pile up immediately.
513
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,236
Before he can start stripping again
514
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:07,076
and replenish the dwindling pay pile,
515
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:09,900
Brennan first needs to drain the cut.
516
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,636
I got a pretty good deal on this pump.
517
00:35:13,660 --> 00:35:15,036
I got it for 11 grand,
518
00:35:15,060 --> 00:35:18,336
and it had come with like,
800 feet of lay flat hose.
519
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,976
Maybe one day I'll be able to
find my own ground to mine.
520
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,076
Just slowly adding to the
collection of mining utensils I'll need
521
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:28,376
if I ever get to find a chunk
of ground for myself one day.
522
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,736
It would just be cool to
have a piggy bank full of gold
523
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,300
to take home for myself.
524
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,130
I'm so excited I bought a pump.
525
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,236
I'm more happy about buying this
526
00:35:42,260 --> 00:35:45,230
than any of the cool toys
I've bought in the last 10 years.
527
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,900
And hopefully she just
starts pumping immediately.
528
00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:54,136
That's a very nice looking pump.
529
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,476
Somebody had one for sale.
530
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:57,476
- Nice, nice.
- And I went and bought that.
531
00:35:57,500 --> 00:35:58,836
I was a little worried
when you peeled out.
532
00:35:58,860 --> 00:36:00,113
I wasn't sure where
you were heading, so...
533
00:36:00,137 --> 00:36:00,336
Yeah.
534
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,000
Well, I want to smash
this out of the water.
535
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,130
That's pretty good.
536
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,636
Let's have a gander. Let's have a look.
537
00:36:16,660 --> 00:36:18,436
Are we getting any water at all?
538
00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:20,776
No, I put... I took this
off. It's dry in there.
539
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,836
Self-farming pumps generally require
some water in the system to prime.
540
00:36:24,860 --> 00:36:27,736
Otherwise, it's
essentially compressing air
541
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,700
and not creating a vacuum to suck.
542
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,300
So we're going to pull it open.
543
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:35,330
Prime it a bit manually.
544
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,276
Then hopefully that will work.
545
00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:39,536
And if that doesn't work,
546
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,300
we'll move on to the next steps.
547
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,076
To manually prime the pump,
548
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:48,230
Kevin pours water inside its casing.
549
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:52,076
We'll do one more
bucket and then we'll dry it.
550
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:54,636
I'm definitely hoping
that this is all it was.
551
00:36:54,660 --> 00:36:57,130
- Okay. You want me to fire up?
- Yeah.
552
00:36:59,260 --> 00:37:00,800
Whoo!
553
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:03,276
This stick runs really nice.
554
00:37:03,300 --> 00:37:04,776
Small little cap motor in it.
555
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,900
It sounds really, really good.
556
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:12,600
Come on.
557
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,736
Getting the water on
the cut is kind of vital,
558
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,436
because if we can't get the water down,
559
00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:22,500
we can't dig the payout.
560
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,276
We should have water here by now.
561
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:27,730
I don't know what's going on.
562
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,630
Should just suck, I don't
know what's going on.
563
00:37:45,860 --> 00:37:47,500
Hear it pump now?
564
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,300
There we go.
565
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,400
Yay!
566
00:38:04,860 --> 00:38:06,760
Great job! To the rescue.
567
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:13,336
Brennan can now
dewater the cut extension
568
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,076
and get stripping down to pay again.
569
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,076
That's a very nice little pump
570
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:20,376
Brennan went off and bought.
571
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,436
This will at least allow
us to get this cut down.
572
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:25,436
Get more pay to the plant
so we can keep sluicing.
573
00:38:25,460 --> 00:38:27,230
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
574
00:38:28,260 --> 00:38:29,800
A purchase, I think.
575
00:38:30,660 --> 00:38:32,330
That's really hot. Don't touch that.
576
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:37,106
It's definitely awesome
working with Kevin.
577
00:38:37,130 --> 00:38:40,076
Like, he's got his strengths
in all the mechanical side.
578
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:42,176
I got it all in the earth work side.
579
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,276
And combine those together,
580
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:45,436
you know, we worked
really, really good together.
581
00:38:45,460 --> 00:38:47,236
I was a bit worried
when Brennan took off.
582
00:38:47,260 --> 00:38:48,636
I do appreciate him coming back
583
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:50,076
and explaining what happened.
584
00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:52,976
And him spending his own
money so we can keep going.
585
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,300
That is very kind of him. Honestly.
586
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,036
It's a very old drill.
587
00:39:08,060 --> 00:39:09,576
At paradise hill,
588
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,460
Mike beets has discovered
some buried mining treasure.
589
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,760
I'm doing my best.
590
00:39:43,660 --> 00:39:45,776
I love how it has the old style tires
591
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,800
- and it even has a spare on it.
- -Yeah.
592
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,160
Yeah, that's impressive, too.
593
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,576
- Hi, guys.
- Hello.
594
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,936
This week, Tony's been
running just one wash plant,
595
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,636
his trommel on paradise hill.
596
00:40:18,660 --> 00:40:21,276
We haven't been
sluicing all week, have we?
597
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:24,236
I heard you had a bit of
excitement with one of your trucks?
598
00:40:24,260 --> 00:40:26,976
Well, he's lucky, because if
he had gone fully over the edge,
599
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,720
it literally almost would have been
cheaper just to leave him there.
600
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:32,876
Three nights, two days.
601
00:40:32,900 --> 00:40:34,860
Okay. Well, that really sucks.
602
00:40:36,260 --> 00:40:37,536
You ready?
603
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,336
To hit his 5,000 ounce goal,
604
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,876
Tony needs around
200 ounces each week.
605
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:47,636
Eighty, ninety, hundred,
hundred and ten...
606
00:40:47,660 --> 00:40:49,576
Hundred and twenty, hundred and thirty,
607
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,200
hundred and forty...
608
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,036
Keep going.
609
00:40:54,060 --> 00:40:57,076
A hundred and
forty-three point five-eight.
610
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:01,100
Worth over $35,000.
611
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,976
More is always better,
but take what you can get.
612
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,460
We need to get some revenue.
613
00:41:06,660 --> 00:41:10,636
So where are we in terms
of amount this season?
614
00:41:10,660 --> 00:41:13,536
- We've got like 3,800?
- Yeah. 3,800.
615
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,736
Roughly 3,800.
616
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,536
I mean, it'd be better if you
had the Indian river going,
617
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,136
and we had the hester cut going.
618
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,700
The whole hester cut's
still down below waiting.
619
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,660
- It's calling your name?
- Yeah.
620
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,636
This has been a lovely gold weigh,
621
00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:31,976
but I have work to do.
622
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,336
- Okay.
- -I'll see you guys later.
623
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,360
I'll see you guys later.
624
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:02,400
Tony and minnie.
625
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:07,236
Hey, Kevin.
626
00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:08,276
Hey, guys. How are you?
627
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:09,376
How are you?
628
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,836
Good. How are you guys?
629
00:42:10,860 --> 00:42:13,360
Good. Busy. Very busy.
630
00:42:18,060 --> 00:42:20,076
We better get to the gym.
631
00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:24,336
After running his links
cut stockpile, 24/7,
632
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,536
Kevin beets weighs his weekly gold haul,
633
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,836
with landlords Tony and minnie
634
00:42:29,860 --> 00:42:33,176
looking to collect their first 10% royalty.
635
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,136
So what's been happening here?
636
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,676
We had some more water problems
637
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:39,136
and I ended up buying a
pump there just to help out.
638
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,560
You can never have enough pumps.
639
00:42:44,260 --> 00:42:46,176
I just wanted to help
out and keep going, so
640
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,961
I appreciate it. It definitely got
us through that little rough spot.
641
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:52,936
Exactly.
642
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,276
So, yeah. If we're gonna
reach our goal of 1,000 ounces,
643
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:57,336
we're gonna have to have a
couple more good gold weights.
644
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,400
So let's see what we got for this one.
645
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,236
To hit his 1,000 ounce goal,
646
00:43:05,260 --> 00:43:09,000
Kevin needs around
120 ounces each week.
647
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,000
Thirty... Forty... Fifty...
648
00:43:13,460 --> 00:43:14,700
Fifty-five...
649
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:18,776
Seventy, eighty, ninety, hundred,
650
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,330
hundred twenty, hundred thirty,
651
00:43:22,060 --> 00:43:23,300
hundred forty,
652
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:25,730
hundred fifty.
653
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,876
- Are you kidding me?
- 156.60.
654
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:34,976
Worth over $390,000.
655
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,636
It's his best haul of the season,
656
00:43:37,660 --> 00:43:41,930
and doubles his gold total to 312 ounces.
657
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,300
Yeah, beautiful.
658
00:43:46,060 --> 00:43:47,930
It's nice to be on the upswing, honestly.
659
00:43:48,460 --> 00:43:49,536
Yay, money!
660
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,760
"Yay, money!"
661
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,260
Yeah.
662
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:09,660
How about our royalties?
663
00:44:13,860 --> 00:44:16,636
This gold just changes
everybody's thought process on it all.
664
00:44:16,660 --> 00:44:19,576
It makes me feel good that
we're gonna be well on our path
665
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,776
to the 1,000 ounces, and
that's all that matters now.
666
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,336
You know, frustrations can leave,
667
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,536
and the gold comes
in, everybody's happy.
668
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,136
And just... let's hope the
rest of the cut stays that good,
669
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,030
so we can actually conquer our goal.
670
00:44:30,860 --> 00:44:31,976
That was good.
671
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,476
Now that we have capital,
we'll get our pump in there.
672
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:37,976
And it was really helpful of Brennan
673
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,376
to to bring his down and keep us going.
674
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,536
- Yeah.
- I'm really excited for
675
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,736
probably next week, week
after we start running that
676
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,976
and see what that cut pulls out.
677
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,500
That should be pretty exciting.
678
00:45:12,860 --> 00:45:13,936
Hi, Chris.
679
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,830
- How's it going?
- It's going.
680
00:45:18,460 --> 00:45:19,736
So how'd your week ago, Mitch?
681
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,136
We lost a drive shaft in one of the trucks.
682
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,076
So, yeah, it was a spendy week there.
683
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:26,436
Yeah, no kidding.
684
00:45:26,460 --> 00:45:28,436
Big red been treating you decent
685
00:45:28,460 --> 00:45:30,536
yeah. Yeah, it's been going good there.
686
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,236
Just more of the same red gravels,
687
00:45:32,260 --> 00:45:34,700
but we're making our way through it.
688
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,636
To hit his 8,000 ounce target,
689
00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:42,936
Parker needs to mine 600
ounces of gold each week.
690
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,836
- I see you got a big thermos this week.
- -Yeah.
691
00:45:45,860 --> 00:45:48,436
You didn't say that very confidently.
692
00:45:48,460 --> 00:45:50,636
Well, you know, I've
caught on to you guys.
693
00:45:50,660 --> 00:45:51,800
Just pour it out.
694
00:45:53,460 --> 00:45:54,706
Here we go. Big red.
695
00:45:54,730 --> 00:45:58,636
Last week, Tyson
sluiced red gravel pay dirt
696
00:45:58,660 --> 00:46:02,676
from the bridge cut,
delivering 136 ounces
697
00:46:02,700 --> 00:46:04,136
from big red.
698
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,330
Seventy, eighty-five, a hundred...
699
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,860
A hundred point eight.
700
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,876
You definitely found an ounce to
put in that to make it triple digits.
701
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:20,736
We scoured the gold room kind of hard,
702
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,136
trying to come up a little bit more.
703
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,976
You wanna see how
Roxanne's doing, Mitch?
704
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,600
All righty. Here we go.
705
00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:28,776
Roxanne.
706
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,336
For the long cut to be
on track for 3000 ounces,
707
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,530
Parker needs it to deliver
475 ounces every week.
708
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:42,436
A hundred, one ten, one forty,
709
00:46:42,460 --> 00:46:46,576
one sixty, one seventy, one eighty.
710
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,736
Are we gonna break two?
711
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:48,776
Two hundred.
712
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,100
206.8.
713
00:46:55,260 --> 00:46:58,376
Almost 100 ounces less than last week.
714
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,736
This week we have 307.6 ounces.
715
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,836
Worth over $769,000.
716
00:47:07,860 --> 00:47:12,736
This is Parker's worst
gold weigh in seven weeks.
717
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,936
A slump, when his
production should be peaking.
718
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,600
Did we break four?
719
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,336
Our season is 4,175.4.
720
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:24,436
Halfway there.
721
00:47:24,460 --> 00:47:25,700
Not bad.
722
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,930
No, but two straight weeks of decline.
723
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,776
We'll get those numbers
back up there, hopefully.
724
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,036
You guys have to
pump those numbers up.
725
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:37,176
I'm gonna bag this stuff up.
726
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,936
Try and keep them running.
727
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:39,777
See you guys at dinner.
728
00:47:39,801 --> 00:47:42,536
See you at dinner. Bosco, come here.
729
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,376
In you get. Nice try.
730
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:50,836
Man. We've got a long ways to go, Chris.
731
00:47:50,860 --> 00:47:53,160
- Yeah, we do.
- And a short time to get there.
