There's been a little preventive maintenance on the trucks, creased them
Kind of an expected ride to show up every time now.
There you go.
No, it would be ridiculous to be here without a mechanic.
Oh, look at that. There he is.
Look at this guy.
My man.
Fresh off the road. That drive never gets shorter.
What is that, 50?
It's about 56, 57 hours.
Rick Ness is ready to mine some gold and has called in critical crew mechanic
Ryan Kent.
So you're ready for work?
Yeah, yeah, let's go.
Sorry I'm late. With all the unknowns up here, it didn't make any sense for you
to rush up here.
I think there's opportunities here. There's a lot of ground to explore.
We can go check it out. Show me down. Yep.
Rick spent 200 ounces of gold to buy a new opportunity, Lightning Creek.
He paid half up front, but needs to pay the second 100 ounces to seller Troy
Taylor in two weeks' time.
The claim covers more than 1 ,600 acres, and after a quick prospect, Rick rolled
the dice and decided where to mine.
This is a diamond cut here.
So the good news is it's already down to pay it.
The bad news is we're not suing.
What's the season total?
1 ,800.
Is that going to be a stretch down here?
I've been talking to Troy about it.
I think we can pull it off.
And I assume they gave you all the drill results for everything that they've
done here? Yeah.
There is some drilling, but it's not... It's got a ton of mining on it. Are you
happy with the test results?
If we could actually get the ground here to stay consistent... With the test
that we got, it'd be good. You know, an ounce per hundred yards is what we're
looking for. And with gold prices the way they are, like, holy man.
To me, you're taking a pretty big gamble buying another piece of ground that,
you know, the only thing that's been tested is by word of mouth from somebody
else. And you just spend a ton of money to buy out the ground that you're on.
You're right. That's the last thing I wanted to do. And I don't know. I
did jump the gun.
You know, my family relies heavily on how we do here.
You know, I'm nervous to tell.
The bottom line is, we've got ground, we've got a water license.
We need to get the gold coming in now.
Looks like we need to get a plant ready then.
Hey, guys, come on down to 750.
We've got a visitor.
You finally show up.
And it's the Yukon's Big Dirt Mover. Hey, buddy.
How you doing, man? Yeah, looks like you've been busy. Our new employee.
What's up, buddy? Hey, Kai, this is Ryan. Hey, Ryan, nice to meet you.
We tried to set the plant up, but there's just... There's not a whole lot
room down here. And I just, I didn't like the look of it. There wasn't enough
space. The bank was starting to erode right away.
Last week, Rick's crew fired up Washland Rocky for the first time this season.
We got water!
Woo! Woo!
When disaster struck.
The bank's eroding way too fast.
Shut up! Shut up!
It's already gone too far.
Rick moved Rocky off the pad, rebuilt the foundation, and is finally ready to
run again.
Yep, I'm going to stand away.
Yeah.
Once that's in, then we'll get the water and the pumps and the generator all
hooked up.
I think that's good.
That's nuts on level.
Next!
This is gen shack right here, and that's what provides the power for our plant.
Got the generator over here.
We're going to get the water pump next.
Good? Look pretty level to be, don't you? Yeah.
Very nice to see this come together.
By the end of the day, we might even see some gold.
Let me rephrase that. By the end of the day, we better see some gold.
Clear?
It's like we never shut it off.
Make the same noise. Put something in it and get the water going.
There she goes.
I'm super excited to see my first bucket put in the plant.
Little shake, little bang.
There we go.
First bucket, 2025.
Oh, listen to that.
They never hear.
It's just some dirt, just some rocks, just some steel, all rattling together.
Well, it sounds like gold to me.
You can see the excitement in every one of these guys right now, finally getting
to see some gold go through the box.
1 ,800 ounces isn't going to come easy, so we definitely got to stay at it, keep
the equipment good, and get to work.
An overwhelming amount of work to be done to get to this point, and when you
finally do, you really got to take the time to celebrate it.
But there's going to be someone sitting in this seat now every hour of every day
for the next five months until we get out of here.
We'll push it as hard as we can, maybe get 120 yards an hour out of it, and
we're going to make it work.
Hopefully this right now is the start to one hell of a season.
We started early.
But lately the faith has been a little bit low.
So once in a while, you're going to have to get on it and breathe a little bit
of life in the outfit.
Mikey has cried a bit to do the Paradise Hill up and going.
I was listening to the early bird cut right now.
King of the Klondike, Tony Beef.
has mined 1 ,400 ounces of his 6 ,500 -ounce target, all of it
from his early bird cut using one wash plant, sluicellate.
I like to move my house a little bit, get some new ground to open up. Open
ground is better than money in the bank. I always have piggy banks.
The whole corner cut is one of them.
Tony's doubling down on his fast.
Start by opening new ground he prospected last year.
We have to get this great big corner cut ready.
I stole from Mike, his mateship guys. Get a couple of rock trucks and an
excavator.
I don't want to have this loose block that sits down on an idle, not sluicing
all. We're going to try to avoid that at all costs.
The plan is to strip at least a claim and a half for the end of the week.
A mile east of the early bird cuts, the massive 46 -acre corner cut will be
Tony's biggest cut to date.
He needs to strip a 10 -acre section of overburden 10 feet deep to reach pay,
and he wants it done in just seven days.
So we got it stripped like crazy, so that means lots of new people.
Tony has a big plan.
Shut up and learn. That's how that works here.
But nearly a month on the job, some of the greenhorns are still struggling.
We're a little bit behind, so I attend new people.
Most of them have never driven a rock truck, so we give them ample time to
learn. But there's a limit to how many times you can tip a truck, right?
If they don't get it, well, then they've got to go.
I learned more in the last month than I feel that I've known in my whole life,
to be honest with you.
Tony, as a boss, is the most straightforward man I've ever met.
He lets you know where you lie, for sure.
It can get a little crazy when Tony shows up.
We usually get a lot of stuff done, so that's always good.
Tony is a great boss.
He tells you what to do, and he's pretty hands -off if you do it right.
Well, you know, if you do it wrong, then you're going to hear about it.
Tony is keeping a close eye on his rookie crew.
Told that idiot to get that over with anyway.
Quit. Quit that drug, you dumb.
I said quit. Quit that.
Cat truck, what in the f*** are you trying to do?
Two greenhorns are driving through a waterlogged section of the cut, taking
unnecessary risks with Tony's expensive rock truck.
Go back, go back.
Are you a little stupid or something?
No, that's a transporter.
Okay, just sit there, don't go anywhere.
Do not even move.
Tony spots another rookie mishandling his rock truck across the cut at
the dump site.
Get out.
None of them still have a clue as to what's happening. So I'm going to go
traffic myself.
What an idiot.
Back it up.
Straight. Straight.
Straight. Back it up.
Back it up. Let's go.
Now you're done for.
You don't have to be nice.
If you can't tell somebody stupid, how would they know?
They will wreck your equipment. There's nothing funny about it. They don't give
that, right?
So them two trucks that I told to stay there, where did they go?
There was a cat truck and a Volvo truck. I told to stay there. Where did you two
go?
There are ten rock truck drivers now.
I will find out.
But soon, there might be eight.
I will find out. We'll get rid of them. Believe me.
There was a cat truck and a Volvo truck that told to stay there. Where did you
two go?
At Indian River, Tony's on the hunt for two rock truck drivers who ignored his
instruction to stop and wait for him in the corner cut.
The truck that I told to stay there, where are you?
I'm back in the cut now. I managed to make it up the hill and dump the load I
had. So there's something wrong with your hearing. If you can't listen, maybe
you should go home and think about it. So park the truck, get out, go to camp.
We'll see you in the morning.
When I say something, you should learn to listen.
Yes, sir.
Where is the other guy that was behind you?
I'm not sure who was behind me, sir.
Well, that guy better speak up. Who the f*** was behind them with the load that
they told to stay there?
There was a Volvo truck.
I want to know which one it is.
So there's a weasel in the crowd, huh?
You're going to have a little chat out there.
Gentlemen, get over there.
Get the f*** out of the truck. You get the f*** out of the truck.
Who the f*** was in the second truck?
Because when I'll find him, I'll fire him.
Because if you see how that...
We're twisting up the road down there, gentlemen. That's not how it works.
Don't get thinking, okay?
Okay, go low.
Gravel, get the out of the way.
I'm pretty pissed off. There's a weasel in the crowd.
I'll make a challenge.
I'll find it.
I'll fire it.
And the other one can go sit in camp for a day.
The second driver.
has got no way with disobeying Tony.
For now.
Tony has driven me around like a madman. Scared me to death.
Tony has been on a bit of a farming spree. I'm not going to say anything.
Best I can do is just keep my head down and hope everything else goes okay.
Hope he forgot a little bit.
We have a big goal this year, 2 ,000 ounces.
So the plant looks really nice sitting up on the way site.
Pretty happy with it. We have a massive tape pile, which is excellent.
Second -year mine boss, Kevin B., has banked 162 ounces of gold.
For the last week and a half, he's been stockpiling pay from his newly opened
pyramid cut and repairing his wash plant.
We'll take our time. We're going to do it right, do it once, and then when we
get to loosening, we never have to turn it off.
With Brendan gone, we're down a foreman.
And with Caden leaving as well, I'm now down a mechanic.
Thankfully, Buzz has been able to take a lot of the welding -related projects,
which has been a great help.
Now, I don't think Tony would really take as much time to get to loosening as
are. He'd probably ram it through as quickly as possible.
Go for a ride, see what he's up to. Well, first they have to find him.
We'll find him.
While making his rounds, Tony brings wife Minnie to check in on their eldest
son's operation.
I see his plant.
And what in the heck is he doing with it?
They jump out.
You have to park it before they can jump out.
Hello.
You can see we got the plant moved.
Yeah. Nice and high.
So you haven't been sluicing for a while, huh?
No, I've been down for about a week and a half, I'd say.
You have to make money.
Yep. You know?
Very much.
Very much. Instead of spending all your savings.
Yeah. Yeah.
But we're getting repairs done, so hopefully we won't have to fix it. For a
amount of time.
And get running next week.
No, you don't.
Get going.
You have a solution, Kevin?
Uh, we'll get going today, tomorrow.
Okay, that'll be good.
We'll come and check out on our royalties.
Get a rolling.
Later.
I mean, he's got to make money too, right?
Everybody's got bills. Everybody's got bills.
Kevin always has been a bit of a perfectionist. I was like that when he
young too.
Then it's like you kind of go, really, dude?
The price of gold is high.
So you think you'd be on it?
You would think. Yeah.
No losing no money.
Still money going out.
Yeah.
To get his wash plant running, Kevin has tasked expectant father, Buzz Lago,
with the repairs.
You've got to treasure every moment that you have with your children.
Buzz has been able to think a lot off my plate, but I know he's going to have to
head off.
I've got to go talk to Buzz so we can get listening again, so see what we can
make work.
Hey, Buzz.
Ready to go?
Quite a bit more stuff that needs to be fixed up.
Okay.
So Tony, I'm going to stop by.
But I really, really do want to get sleuthing ASAP.
But there's still more ground.
Okay.
I would like to get sleuthing as soon as...
Yeah.
The birth of my daughter is something that I'm definitely not going to miss.
Well, like I said, you can make it happen.
The pressure is on. But you've got a couple of days.
Yeah. Okay.
Thanks, man. Best of luck.
I definitely want to see some gold in the box before I take off.
Things are looking a little bleak right now.
I'm going to get my house in gear and get this done as quick as I can before I
have to go.
But when it's time to go, I'm going.
Buzz is on the plant, so we have a couple of days.
He's going to have his work cut out for him.
We've got a lot of hurdles here, and, you know, if this one's going to be a
success, it's going to be a hard fought, but, man, are we going to deserve it.
I gave Troy a down payment, and I told him I'd have him another $100 ,000.
You know, I'm betting our future on this.
Rick Ness is finally on the gold, with Washplant Rocky churning through 120
yards of pay an hour.
it's business as usual. Now it's like we keep that plant running like it's our
job. Right now that's Kyle's job, so we're leaving him here to do it.
By the end of the week, Rick and his crew will know whether his $700 ,000
on Lightning Creek will pay out.
We're not really going to know for sure what's in there.
It's going to be our second full day of running Rocky here.
That don't look good.
That end spray bar is not doing... There's way too much water coming over
ass end of that. We're losing material out the side, and there could be gold in
it.
I think the pump's just too high.
All right, I've got to walk you now. We're going to go over there and check.
Okay.
Yeah, that's as low as she goes. I'm going to jump up there and look real
That's as low as it goes?
That's it, man.
All the water pressure is getting backed up and going up through the pre -wash
instead.
Yeah, there's one up here and nothing's even coming out of it.
We got to shut it down. All right, we're going to get pumped.
It's been shut down, but we're trying to get 1 ,800 ounces.
It's not ideal.
No, Rick won't like that. Right now, we're not really watching anything going
across that shaker deck.
Yeah, there's a bunch of stuck in it.
We're sucking in a bunch of rock.
And that's blocking the water flow. It's back to, you know, there's...
A lot of pressure left on it, so the pressure has nowhere else to go but back
to the spray bars.
I mean, we cannot afford this downtime.
We're going to go widen out the nozzle tips a little bit.
That way, if we get any little bit of rock, it still shoots through.
Water from the nearby creek is pumped to wash plant rocky and fed into two spray
bars that wash the pay.
Small rocks from the creek have blocked the plant's nozzles on one side.
raising the water pressure in the pre -wash spray bar, blasting pay out of the
plant.
Ryan's simple fix?
Widen the shaker deck spray bar nozzles so the rocks can pass through and the
gold -rich pay can be cleaned properly.
Yeah, because there's some big ones in there.
There's our problem. We've got a pry bar stuck in there. Hey, where'd that come
from?
Yeah, that's better. So we're going from that to that.
Yeah.
I'll get them clipped on. We'll fire up the water, but downtime is kind of
kicking our ass.
Get them fixed. We'll get them fixed up.
All right. I like it.
Well, I'll get a trigger deck. Yeah, I'll go ahead and get the pump fired up
when you give a thumbs up. Great.
After a 30 -minute shutdown,
Rick's crew are back on the gold.
Now that we've got those rocks cleared out of those spray bars, the water
pressure seems nice and even now.
It looks better. It's running better. Luckily, it wasn't for that long.
Sucks that. Yeah, no.
The water looks a lot better. It's not blasting over the backside anymore.
I don't want to shut down again. Rick don't want to shut down again.
We're moving a lot of dirt. We're moving more dirt than we ever have before.
We got to stay a half stripping -wise.
At Indian River, Tony is pushing foreman Cousin Mike and his crew to open up a
10 -acre section of the corner cut by the end of the week.
They don't really have the corner cut ready, so I got driving around there
morning. We've got to keep an eye on it.
There's a weasel in the crowd.
Tony's watching his crew like a hawk after a rock truck driver disobeyed him
earlier in the week.
then it's going to get only worse and worse and worse.
Next thing you know, that it's all happening.
What is that? Okay,
who's in that rock truck?
I was not paying attention.
Sometimes I say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I know exactly.
I don't know.
I was out very late last night drinking, so.
That's 48 hours now without sleep.
Oh, I went the wrong way.
What are you doing?
Where's the truck going?
Wait.
Everything up?
You haven't traveled?
No answer.
Is this guy trying to talk to me?
I've seen a couple weird behaviors from him.
Oh, I think he's ringing on the job.
I'm pretty sure Jared's based at work.
He can't be having that around here.
He's going to hurt himself or hurt somebody else.
I don't know what's going on with Jared, but I think he's drunk or something.
Can't go home.
I have no idea where the hell I'm going right now.
There he is.
Jared.
You drunk or something?
Look at me.
You drunk?
I don't think you're fine. Here, stop the truck. Stop the truck.
Yeah, stop it.
Park it.
Get out.
You in the truck.
In the truck.
There.
You drunk?
Look at me.
You drunk?
You're being goofy all day.
Hey, look at me.
You can't even look at me straight.
You're driving like an idiot, honking like you're not right in the head. You
smell like alcohol, too.
I'll, uh, get you the can.
Grab yours.
At Indian River, Pete's foreman, Cousin Mike, has pulled rock truck driver Jared
off the job.
I think this guy is drunk.
You going to be a lippy with me? Because then you're gone, guaranteed.
I don't give a... Can I be honest with you?
Yeah. I drank too much last night.
Will you give me another shot?
You're going to let me sleep this out.
Or am I fired?
Oh, I just got to see because I think you're drunk right now.
Take your bag.
Tony,
do you copy?
I have someone here. I think he's drunk. Who is it?
Derek.
Smell the alcohol here.
Okay. You stay here.
I agree to leave.
I agree to leave.
You're drunk?
Yeah. So you were lying too?
I told you. I told you.
You told me you were hungover from last night. I was hungover from last night
but I didn't stop drinking. I would not have been able to make it work.
Anyway, take me back to Dawson City. No, no, no. That's not how that works. You
don't make the call. You get fired. You get 30 minutes to get... Out of here.
I'm trying to work.
You're trying to work with me being drunk?
You're running a piece of heavy equipment, people around, and you're
drunk. Sorry. Like, give your head a shake. I don't know how old you are. Can
take a nap? We'll go to your room. Can I just have a nap?
No. 30 minutes, you're out.
That one out?
Yeah. 30 minutes? Yeah.
Idiot. I forgot I seen that guy was doing funny.
So, get the f*** out. Done with being drunk.
Done. Get out.
I really don't give a **** about them.
Yeah.
Get the **** rid of them.
You know, they're pretty happy nothing serious happened.
I mean, these people drink, they sit in the truck, always fire them, and they're
always very grateful, happy that nobody got hurt and nothing happened.
Of course, you can always get another rock truck or what, they'll kill
That's far from funny when people get hurt or war.
So when you have one of that...
If you're just happy you caught it in time, then get rid of it.
I really, really do want to get Slusing ASAP. The pressure is on to try to get
as much as possible this year, as fast as possible.
Perfectionist Kevin Beats is under pressure from his landlord parents, Tony
Minnie, to get Slusing and deliver their royalties.
With the plant, there's a lot of just maintenance that we need to do.
Buzz has a whole list that we just need to do so it doesn't become a big
project.
Buzz is trying to complete Kevin's maintenance repairs.
Kevin wants you to get this plant all chipped off safe here before I leave.
I'll get that crack all sealed up.
That there is the last piece of the puzzle.
Hey, man, is it all fixed up now?
I think you can get this plan put back together and get it back into action,
man.
That's ready to rumble.
Yeah.
All righty. The load is on the way.
It's been a couple of weeks.
since we had gold coming in. Be nice and start paying bills.
That would be nice, yes.
Hey,
Buzz. Hey, guys.
Hey, Buzz.
There she goes.
Oh, there you go.
It's all freaking ready.
Oh, Gary's here. Well, let's get her fired up.
Let's do it.
Kevin is finally ready to start running his stockpile of pyramid -cut pay dirt.
Beauty. All right, now on switches.
First things first, distortion barrier.
On.
There we go.
Screen deck.
We are shaking.
Okay, everybody's ready.
Third bucket is on its way.
Third bucket in.
There we go. There it goes.
Kill the feeder. Kill the feeder.
Thank you. How did I kill the feeder again? I forgot.
There was a pile of dirt left in the pre -wash from when we shut down. That is
forming a pile, so it's not able to flow. Can I get you to bring me one of
long shovels?
Failure to clean out the pre -wash had left concrete -like dirt.
that can't be broken down by the spray bars, creating a blockage and causing
new pay to pile up.
So, fix this for good.
You're going to have to shut down to clean out the pre -wash and have
in here for the trouble cleaning out the rocks.
But we need to get Susan again, so we just need to do Tony's, ah,
get run at mentality.
Fighting his perfectionist need to shut down, Kevin's opting for a temporary
fix.
So, rather than pile this dirt up 60 feet, I have to shovel it.
Someone go turn up the pump, please.
Can you get it up to 1 ,600, please?
Okay, 1 ,600.
We're getting it. Just a few.
Minor adjustment.
There we go.
Is this at least moving?
Ah, that's looking way better.
Okay, now we can turn on the feeder, but set it at three, please.
Kevin Eppert, clear the block.
Well, good to be soothing, guys.
Looks good, Buzz. I think you did a good job getting it ready to run.
Oh, thanks, man. I appreciate that.
I'll just do my best.
That's all we can do.
Looking good.
Kevin's baby's gone, so that's a good thing.
Hope everything goes a lot smoother with my baby than it did here.
All the repairs seem to be holding, so yeah, it looks good.
Ah, got a rip.
So I am well aware of this tendency.
I like to get everything just right.
When I get Tony right, I've had to learn to be good enough is good enough. You
know what I mean?
Instead of just, it has to be right.
It's the first math pull of the season.
Moment of truth, we'll pull the math, and I'm going to actually finally see if
Diamond Cut's got any gold.
What's going on?
First plate up, and I figured it's your first time, so I might as well jump in
the rock truck, give you a chance to get over there, kind of see what it's like.
All right.
Is it everything you imagined, Kai?
Glamour. And more.
These cleanups are on my shoulders, you know what I mean? I'm always worried
about letting them down. It's one of the nice things about having a small group.
It makes me feel like we're all in it together.
In my eyes, the absolute perfect team.
You guys are the real gold.
Did you hear that, Kai? You're the real gold.
Who? You.
You guys are the real gold out here.
For me.
Oh, don't break my new expensive bucket.
Are we buying buckets?
We got that bucket money now?
It's looking pretty good.
Water's doing what it's supposed to.
I'm just nice and consistent.
I'm pretty happy that we got the plant going.
Takes a lot of stress off my mind. It has a whole different kind, but...
At least this dress makes money.
It is a step in the right direction.
Kevin's wash plant is up and running.
That's it. All packed up, ready to go.
But he's losing another valuable crew member.
Hey, bud. How's it going?
Not too bad, not too bad.
So, yeah, it must be about time for you to get going, huh?
The little one's real close coming now.
Countdown's on, eh?
Yep, the real one. I just want to say thanks, Buzz, for all you've done.
No, it's been pretty cool, man. I appreciate the opportunity, definitely.
This thing has worked out, honestly, so we have a little bit of luck on our
side. Found a bit of gold when we fired up and it runs.
That's awesome.
Right? You're coming back after, I assume, right?
Yes, sir.
Safe travels.
Thanks, man. And best of luck. Hope it all goes smoothly for you. Yep.
Hi, guys.
So, another Goldway?
No, we're just here to see you because we missed you so much, Dad.
Good, good, good, Mike.
We got some characters in the crowd, but you gotta go through them. We had one
driving around drunk, so that is... What? What?
And then you've got a drunk idiot driving people walking around.
It's the people more so than anything else because they hurt other people,
right? Yeah, and it won't bother them because they're in a rock truck. Yeah.
That's scary.
It is. Yeah, you've got to go. It's serious stuff.
Hey, Monica, how's things going in the gold room?
Good. Keeping busy?
Please make you come because I can't see.
So far, the early bird cut.
has produced a weekly average of 250 ounces of gold.
Are you ready, Michael?
60, 70, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170.
190, 200, 220, 330, 240.
3, 50, 70, 80, 90, 300, 3, 10, 3, 20, 3, 30, 3, 40, 3, 50, 3,
60.
4, 4, 10, 4, 20, 4, 30, 4, 40, 4, 50, 4, 60.
4, 67 .8, 4, 6, 7 .8.
Luce DeLotte's record -breaking weekly haul is worth... Over one and a half
million dollars.
That's doing pretty damn good.
It's a pretty good hobby, yeah?
Yeah. It's you.
We have to take a holiday.
Okay. Where are we going? I'll book it right now.
I'll go make some more. How's that?
The Ness crew are waiting for their first gold way
of the season to see if Rick Diamondcut will pay out.
This is a weird one. They're starting on new ground again.
Yeah, yeah.
We can't come on new ground and expect to hit Raleigh Valley, Vegas Valley kind
of. I mean, I know it's going to be a learning deal, but... Yeah, it's
definitely still a risk.
Speaking of that, so grab the gold and weigh it up. Let's do it.
To be successful, Rick's crew need one ounce per 100 yards, so at least
40 ounces of gold.
Four days run 100 yards an hour.
You want to count the numbers? Sure. First one?
We got it. Let's go.
One, two.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7 .35
worth.
Just $25 ,000.
That's a big waste of time is what that is.
That's terrible.
Yeah, it's not even quite two ounces a day.
That's a big waste of time right there, yeah.
Does that even pay for... No, it doesn't even start the list.
of things that I have to pay for. I can't afford to be up here and not bring
anything home.
Part of me is, yeah, that's some new ground, but the other part's like, dude,
hope you can figure it out because if you go broke, I go broke.
It hasn't happened yet. I don't intend it to happen this year.
But, yeah, I mean, right now it's, yeah, I'm wondering, did I make the right
decision, you know?
We've got over 100 claims on this bunch here, so.
You know, that was obviously the wrong spot to start, but we can move on from
that. First gold way. We're done.
Let's go home.
Lighting Creek was definitely a gamble.
Seven ounces, that's not going to pay my bills nor his bills. So hopefully Rick
finds a new spot. That will be the answer. So unfortunately, the diamond
that's a fail.
We'll see what happens next.
We've got to find the gold because the diamond cut did not have it.
We're running out of time to get 100 ounces to try. So we've got to be ready
pivot. We've got to go up the valley.
We've got to look for better gold.
