Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:14,990 --> 00:00:16,570
I saw a few bones in the PayPal.
2
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:19,850
Out of a mammoth tusk?
3
00:00:21,770 --> 00:00:23,450
Rib bone, I think.
4
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:26,310
Right? Rib bone?
5
00:00:29,210 --> 00:00:30,210
I don't know.
6
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:41,070
Yeah, so things are going really well so
far. You know, we're, like, coming out
7
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:43,490
of the gate, moving, and...
8
00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:47,790
We're over 2 ,000 ounces, but I'm
waiting for something to go massively
9
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:49,850
because things don't go this smoothly
for very long.
10
00:00:50,930 --> 00:00:57,390
Six weeks into the season, 30 -year -old
Parker Schnabel's plan to mine more
11
00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:01,590
than $35 million in gold is right on
schedule.
12
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:07,390
Tyson is being an animal this year. He's
done over 1 ,500 ounces already here on
13
00:01:07,390 --> 00:01:10,930
Dominion. And then Mitch is doing a
really good job over at Sulphur.
14
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,900
Hopper had over a 350 -ounce cleanup
last week, and that's crazy.
15
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:23,440
Parker's plan includes squeezing every
ounce he can out of his Sulphur Creek
16
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,940
claim, where foreman Mitch Blaschke has
been hunting for gold -rich pockets the
17
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:30,220
old -timers missed.
18
00:01:31,690 --> 00:01:34,550
You know, it's been full throttle since
the beginning of the season here in
19
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:37,910
Sulphur, trying to get all the work done
before the water license expires. Just
20
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:41,390
want to make sure that we get what's
ours and don't leave anything behind.
21
00:01:43,250 --> 00:01:46,830
Mitch is down to just three weeks to get
it all done.
22
00:01:47,570 --> 00:01:53,550
Making the job harder, his top dirt
mover, Brennan Rule, was recently sent
23
00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:55,570
open ground at their next claim.
24
00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:58,940
Right now we're threading a bunch of
needles with Brandon trying to have the
25
00:01:58,940 --> 00:02:02,680
Indian River ready, Mitch trying to have
sulfur done before the water life
26
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,140
expires. We need to get the whole
project done, reclaimed, and be out.
27
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:17,599
How's it going?
28
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,600
Good.
29
00:02:18,820 --> 00:02:20,080
How are you? Doing well.
30
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Yeah. Nice to be getting to the close of
this one. We can start the next
31
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,400
project. Yeah.
32
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:26,940
Holy, that's a hole.
33
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:28,700
Wow.
34
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,080
Very muddy hole.
35
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,820
Nobody's done any panning in here, I'm
guessing.
36
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,220
Not on this upper section.
37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,540
We were trying to get it out as fast as
we could, get her to the plant.
38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,860
Right. Well, I'll pan some of this, just
out of curiosity.
39
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,020
All right, well, let's see what we've
got.
40
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,740
Smoke. That's a hell of a pan. Must be
100 pieces of gold in there.
41
00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:25,220
Wow. Yeah.
42
00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:27,180
That's pretty wild.
43
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:29,260
What do you think?
44
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:34,120
It's worth staying here a little longer
and getting that last little bit of pay.
45
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:36,300
There's gold there, and that's what
we're here for.
46
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,880
We got a lot of sluicing to do already
this year. There's a lot of sluicing to
47
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,340
do. Always turns into a lot bigger
project than we think, doesn't it?
48
00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:46,560
I want to stand up there and look at it.
49
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,780
How far does that go?
50
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,180
Straight to this tree right here.
51
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,940
That's probably where I would go to.
52
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,220
You know, it's going to be tight. I
could just have, like, Brennan come over
53
00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:10,100
here. That's the best chance that you've
got at getting the pay down here in
54
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:11,100
time and getting it ran.
55
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:12,888
That'd be sweet.
56
00:04:12,890 --> 00:04:13,970
All right, I'll keep you updated.
57
00:04:14,970 --> 00:04:20,070
Over the last six weeks, Mitch has dug
out all the pay pockets of the two -acre
58
00:04:20,070 --> 00:04:23,590
cut and is sluicing the last of its
stockpiled pay.
59
00:04:24,090 --> 00:04:30,710
But Parker believes the old -timer's
dredge missed even more gold and thinks
60
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:33,070
pay streak extends up to the road.
61
00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:40,510
He wants Mitch to expand the cut by
another two acres and sluice all of its
62
00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:43,420
before... The water license runs out.
63
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,720
If Parker's move pays off, he could bank
another 500 ounces worth
64
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,240
$1 .75 million.
65
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,820
just when we thought sulfur here was
coming to a close in typical Parker
66
00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:03,680
fashion. Now he's saying, you know, hey,
I want even more dirt out of there.
67
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:06,780
We're pushing this project all the way
to its absolute limit.
68
00:05:07,060 --> 00:05:10,480
So I'm just hoping we can get everything
done here in sluice, but it's just
69
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,480
messing with our timeline.
70
00:05:18,380 --> 00:05:19,380
Brother!
71
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,900
All right, the cavalry's here. We can
certainly use the help. Woo!
72
00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:27,910
We're here, happy to help, man.
73
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:35,610
To give Mitch a fighting chance, Parker
has sent in the big gun.
74
00:05:36,010 --> 00:05:39,810
So we've got five trucks, two
excavators, and the loader feeding the
75
00:05:41,570 --> 00:05:45,990
We're on a hot streak right now. Let's
stay with it, finish it off, and get
76
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:48,090
every speck of gold we can get out of
here.
77
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,740
You know, everything up here is risk
over reward.
78
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:56,840
And right now, the risk is we got
ourselves a lot of dirt to move here and
79
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:59,500
much time. But Parker thinks it's worth
the reward.
80
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,060
First gold weight of the year.
81
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,500
You're always hoping for a good one,
right? It can kind of set the pace for
82
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:19,279
rest of the year.
83
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:20,620
We had the opposite of that.
84
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,880
A hundred miles away, Rick Ness is still
trying to recover from a major setback
85
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,880
after failing to obtain the water
license needed to mine his gold -rich
86
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Creek claim.
87
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:40,800
The diamond cut on his new claim at
Lightning Creek delivered just seven
88
00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:45,610
We're always in a race against time, but
we start having gold waves like that,
89
00:06:45,650 --> 00:06:47,170
it just becomes even more and more
serious.
90
00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:50,150
There's no way we can make money off of
that, but that doesn't mean that we can
91
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:51,270
just call it quits here.
92
00:06:51,610 --> 00:06:54,270
Rick now finds himself in deep water.
93
00:06:54,830 --> 00:07:00,530
He's had to shut down wash plant Rocky,
but has just one week to pay landowner
94
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:05,970
Troy Taylor 100 ounces to complete his
purchase of Lightning Creek.
95
00:07:07,070 --> 00:07:09,710
We've got to move on. We've got to strip
some new ground. We've already started
96
00:07:09,710 --> 00:07:11,910
that. We've moved up the valley. We've
just got to pivot and pivot quick.
97
00:07:14,410 --> 00:07:18,350
We're late to the game this season, so
we had to come into this location.
98
00:07:19,290 --> 00:07:21,790
It's definitely not as good ground as
Vegas Valley.
99
00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:24,990
Hopefully we can get gold out of here to
at least pay the bills.
100
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:32,170
Everyone's getting pretty beat down.
When you see low numbers and no gold
101
00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:33,890
in, it doesn't feel too good.
102
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,660
It's definitely getting a little
stressful, you know, behind the gun
103
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:42,840
we're going to shift over here and
change the odds.
104
00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:45,140
Hopefully start running some pay dirt
soon.
105
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,540
This is definitely the beginning of
working our way up the valley for sure.
106
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,100
You know, we need as much uncovered as
we can, but pretty much it's just going
107
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:56,100
to be trial and error.
108
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,860
We want to make sure that, you know,
this is going to be good pay and not
109
00:07:59,860 --> 00:08:03,420
garbage. Rick's going to come down and
figure out what he wants me to do moving
110
00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:04,420
forward.
111
00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:10,620
Look at it.
112
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:13,900
What you thinking, Bailey?
113
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,740
It's like bedrock right there.
114
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:17,600
And then it goes to sand.
115
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Obviously, you don't want sand, but...
Interesting.
116
00:08:24,260 --> 00:08:27,220
There's no telling what this bedrock
might do. You probably just have to
117
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:28,220
it. Yes.
118
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,800
Some of that along the bank looks like
pay.
119
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:34,580
Okay. But there's a spot right there
with a bigger rock.
120
00:08:35,659 --> 00:08:37,179
Look at that big rock right there.
121
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:39,590
That's what we want to see.
122
00:08:39,950 --> 00:08:40,950
Nice.
123
00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:43,730
Do you want that top, gravelly stuff?
124
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:45,670
I think so.
125
00:08:46,890 --> 00:08:48,550
Yeah, I would say that's the stuff we
run.
126
00:08:48,770 --> 00:08:52,750
Bigger rocks should mean bigger deposits
of gold.
127
00:08:53,530 --> 00:09:00,270
Over 150 ,000 years ago, a giant glacier
eroded and picked up gold
128
00:09:00,270 --> 00:09:02,190
from the Mount Hinton Motherlode.
129
00:09:02,450 --> 00:09:05,890
A massive ice sheet bulldozed down the
valley.
130
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,620
tearing up the landscape.
131
00:09:09,020 --> 00:09:14,660
When the ice melted, the gold settled in
scattered pockets with the heavy rocks
132
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:15,660
and boulders.
133
00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:20,340
I like it. Get the plant running. That'd
be great.
134
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,260
You call this the boulder cut?
135
00:09:22,540 --> 00:09:25,460
Cool. Hopefully it's got gold in it.
Thanks, man.
136
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,760
Yep.
137
00:09:28,780 --> 00:09:31,440
Bailey's getting on it right here. Doing
a good job of getting it stripped off.
138
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:34,980
There's a lot more bigger boulders and
stuff in that ground. It just looks more
139
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:37,260
promising, so I've got a good feeling
about that.
140
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,080
We're all pretty excited to run this
stuff.
141
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,200
We'll get this fired up, and we'll start
pounding dirt through it.
142
00:09:57,260 --> 00:10:01,980
pay to the plant let's pay there jeffy
looks uh you know a lot better than uh
143
00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:06,500
the diamond cut you know there is big
rocks in here i'm hoping it's going to
144
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:06,960
really good
145
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:21,380
something
146
00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:24,980
going on with the bucket it's not
feeling proper it doesn't have any
147
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:26,020
trying to curl right now
148
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Hey, Ryan, you got a copy, man?
149
00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:31,599
Go ahead, baby.
150
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,340
Yeah, something's wrong with the 750 for
sure.
151
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:35,540
Okay. All right, man, give me just a
minute and I'll be over.
152
00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:40,240
Hopefully, Ryan can get down here and
figure out what's going on because this
153
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
our main machine. That's the only thing
that we got down here that can load rock
154
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880
trucks quick enough. So right now, we're
on a standstill.
155
00:10:59,340 --> 00:11:02,280
We've got issues with 750 right now.
156
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,120
I've probably got a couple more hours
worth of pay here.
157
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,080
If there's no pay as is planned, there's
no gold in the box. So it's pretty
158
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,000
crucial to have that thing back up and
running.
159
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:18,660
At Lightning Creek, the Neskruz 750
excavator has gone down, preventing them
160
00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:21,860
from digging pay dirt from the new
boulder cuts.
161
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:26,740
I'd zip that plate off. Let's make as
much room as we can. I'll get in there
162
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:27,860
I'll crack it open.
163
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:34,100
All right.
164
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:35,460
Way here.
165
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:41,180
All righty. Okay.
166
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,640
We've got a pilot hose over here that
comes from the back main pump and goes
167
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,020
the way up just underneath the cab
that's chafing pretty bad.
168
00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:55,800
The 750 excavator's bucket moves forward
when hydraulic fluid is pumped through
169
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,400
a hose into a cylinder with a piston at
5 ,000 pounds per square inch.
170
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:06,800
The bucket is then forced to retract
when the cylinder is injected with
171
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,500
hydraulic fluid by a second hose.
172
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:16,240
Ryan has discovered this hose has a leak
in the body of the excavator near the
173
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,240
pump.
174
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:27,840
He plans to disconnect the hose and
remove it, then replace it with a new
175
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,240
restoring the hydraulic system's full
pressure.
176
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:37,490
allowing the bucket to once again hold
six yards of boulder pay dirt with each
177
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:38,490
scoop.
178
00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:48,110
Right here? Yeah, go ahead.
179
00:12:48,590 --> 00:12:49,590
Oh yeah, you're good.
180
00:12:52,690 --> 00:12:53,569
Look at this.
181
00:12:53,570 --> 00:12:54,710
Yeah, right there.
182
00:12:55,890 --> 00:13:00,050
So, this will get us going, get us back
in the pay, and keep things rolling.
183
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,180
All right, got it all zip -tied up.
184
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:08,540
Gonna get our bottom plates on, get our
top plate mounted back, and Bailey will
185
00:13:08,540 --> 00:13:09,540
be back at it.
186
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:10,900
Oh, baby.
187
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,820
All right, bottom side good.
188
00:13:18,780 --> 00:13:19,880
There you go. Perfect.
189
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Hey, Bailey, 756.
190
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760
We've got the 750 up and running again,
which is awesome.
191
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,100
We've got three trucks.
192
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,100
We've got to hurry up here and get that
pay to the plant.
193
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,960
I really need this to work out. We all
need this to work out. This is our spot
194
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,800
for the summer, and we need to get some
gold out of it. I'm not going to sleep
195
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,060
well until I get a whole run out of this
ground. If it doesn't start showing us
196
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:57,160
gold, well, what good is it?
197
00:13:57,460 --> 00:13:58,800
I'm not full panic mode.
198
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:03,990
But I definitely got my hand over the
panic button.
199
00:14:20,050 --> 00:14:23,130
So far the season went pretty good.
200
00:14:23,410 --> 00:14:25,430
So I'm happy, happy as they say.
201
00:14:26,110 --> 00:14:32,340
A month and a half into his season, King
of the Klondike, Tony Beef, is cashing
202
00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:34,180
in on his early bird cut.
203
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:44,760
He's already banked over 1 ,800 ounces
of his
204
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,440
6 ,500 -ounce target and is now opening
the corner cut.
205
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,640
to get down to play.
206
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:05,320
But we should have plenty of time to get
it all set up and do some serious
207
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,780
listening. The minute we'll figure it
out, voila.
208
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:13,780
But Mike, when he has his trommel going,
well, then we'll just see what we can
209
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:14,780
pull off.
210
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:21,400
Forty miles away, on Paradise Hill.
211
00:15:22,580 --> 00:15:23,740
Pretty busy right now.
212
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Here at Mike's shipping department.
213
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:27,600
Turn my way a bit.
214
00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:29,860
So we got the next one.
215
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520
I'm told to get this organized. I'm told
to get this ready. I'm told to get this
216
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,060
going. This is all Indians River.
217
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,400
I'm just a delivery boy.
218
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,820
Problem's not going to happen anytime
soon at this rate.
219
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:45,360
You want the gold? My dad's going to
have to leave me alone and let me do it.
220
00:15:47,180 --> 00:15:51,340
At the start of the season, you gave
Kevin a bunch of help getting him going.
221
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:53,460
So is there anything you're going to
help us with?
222
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,820
Tony's youngest son, Mike, made a case.
223
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,080
for his own claim.
224
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:02,700
There's some opportunities out there.
Let's get these two places here going
225
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:03,760
first, and then we'll talk.
226
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,800
Tony tasked Mike with getting their
Paradise Hill operation running.
227
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:14,800
But two weeks ago... I don't know what
the f*** is going on. Tony stole half of
228
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,180
his equipment and crew.
229
00:16:16,460 --> 00:16:18,900
If you don't like it, I guess that sucks
to be him.
230
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,900
You try to take all my people and then
expect me to still run the hill?
231
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Now. Mike's Paradise Hill trommel still
fits idle, and he has no gold coming
232
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,360
in.
233
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,180
Hey, what's going on?
234
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,760
What's the problem?
235
00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:46,440
Right now I'm at equipment I can do one
project at a time. I can loose, I can
236
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,460
strip. I do not have enough to do both,
which means I'm going to be able to run
237
00:16:51,460 --> 00:16:52,460
the trommel here.
238
00:16:52,540 --> 00:16:53,540
You will not.
239
00:16:57,930 --> 00:17:00,630
You know Tony's train of thought, right?
240
00:17:01,010 --> 00:17:05,490
The Indian is the only thing that's
producing right now, so that's what he
241
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,490
to focus on.
242
00:17:08,609 --> 00:17:11,130
There's a little bit of worry that he
takes your equipment.
243
00:17:11,670 --> 00:17:12,990
Why can't I start taking it back?
244
00:17:13,869 --> 00:17:17,670
That would go over really well. You and
I both know that, so that's not going to
245
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:18,670
happen.
246
00:17:19,010 --> 00:17:21,510
So what are you going to do now? Do you
have a plan B?
247
00:17:22,829 --> 00:17:25,369
We have a Harold, a nice plant to send
down in Hester.
248
00:17:26,430 --> 00:17:27,470
Basically stupid proof.
249
00:17:27,930 --> 00:17:31,250
Just got to refuse some pipe, hook it up
to the pump, test the pump.
250
00:17:32,490 --> 00:17:35,110
And then I just got to get an excavator
and a loader down there, and I could be
251
00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:36,150
sleuthing. That's great.
252
00:17:38,090 --> 00:17:43,510
How would you feel to just have your own
claim, just your stuff, no interference
253
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:45,170
with your father, like Kevin?
254
00:17:46,090 --> 00:17:47,390
I would like it. It would be fun.
255
00:17:47,670 --> 00:17:48,830
You think that's going to happen?
256
00:17:49,530 --> 00:17:51,590
No. He's too busy out there.
257
00:17:52,690 --> 00:17:53,990
Want to have a little wager?
258
00:17:55,790 --> 00:17:57,110
Ten bucks, I say it will.
259
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,880
We can also take 20 bucks.
260
00:18:00,860 --> 00:18:01,860
You're scared?
261
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,480
20 bucks.
262
00:18:07,860 --> 00:18:10,940
With that being said, I do think you
have to go back to work.
263
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,600
I'll see you later.
264
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,100
Mike got a little bit rough end of the
deal here because he doesn't have all
265
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,100
people and all the equipment.
266
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,940
But it's just the way Tony is.
267
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:27,340
He focuses on what's right in front of
him.
268
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:30,650
not what's 60 miles down the road.
269
00:18:32,050 --> 00:18:37,930
Mike plans to use what little equipment
Tony left behind to make a quick score
270
00:18:37,930 --> 00:18:43,530
by sluicing a pile of old -timer
tailings that he believes are rich in
271
00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:49,250
But first, he has to connect the water
supply to wash plant Harold.
272
00:18:50,770 --> 00:18:54,670
So I'm going to be testing out our new
fusing machine here. Without no water,
273
00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:55,750
you ain't sluicing at all.
274
00:18:57,770 --> 00:19:00,030
If Mike can fit through, the pipe will
fit.
275
00:19:02,430 --> 00:19:04,210
Spread your wings and fly, Mike.
276
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:11,270
It works.
277
00:19:14,530 --> 00:19:17,490
Right now we lift up the pipe so I can
line it up.
278
00:19:19,390 --> 00:19:20,390
My way.
279
00:19:21,010 --> 00:19:23,870
Stop. I just lined them up. I'm
tightening them up now.
280
00:19:24,570 --> 00:19:26,490
I'm waiting for the heating pad to warm
up.
281
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:29,060
Put it in there? Yep. Okay.
282
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:33,260
That melts the pipe, so that when I push
it together, it fuses.
283
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:35,620
Get ready.
284
00:19:36,860 --> 00:19:37,860
There you go.
285
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:42,820
It's working.
286
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,300
I heard thunder.
287
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:52,520
Pull the tongue, bring it over here.
288
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:56,740
Now it's raining pretty good.
289
00:19:57,150 --> 00:19:57,949
Hold it up!
290
00:19:57,950 --> 00:20:00,030
Try to cover it so it doesn't get pissed
on rain.
291
00:20:00,410 --> 00:20:06,290
If rain gets into the melted junction,
air bubbles will form, and the fuse will
292
00:20:06,290 --> 00:20:08,050
burst under high water pressure.
293
00:20:14,250 --> 00:20:17,770
If we don't get this fuse together, I
ain't getting no water to Harold.
294
00:20:25,590 --> 00:20:26,590
Yeah, it'll be good.
295
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,100
The rain seems to be stopping. You guys
can take it off.
296
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,800
Before Mike can test if the fuses will
hold, he needs to connect the pipe to
297
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,260
pump across the creek.
298
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,860
Lift it up in the air.
299
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,220
Yeah, looking good.
300
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,340
Excellent. That's good, Zach.
301
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Pull it in.
302
00:20:58,909 --> 00:21:01,210
Cut! Next step is to put the suction in.
303
00:21:01,810 --> 00:21:05,950
Chain this up. Try not to get hit in the
face with a bucket because it's not on
304
00:21:05,950 --> 00:21:07,330
my bucket list to do.
305
00:21:19,810 --> 00:21:21,470
Pipes are all hooked up, fused together.
306
00:21:21,770 --> 00:21:25,670
All I have to do is test fire the pump,
make sure everything's working good.
307
00:21:43,470 --> 00:21:44,690
Enough water. That's good.
308
00:21:45,370 --> 00:21:46,630
Lovely. I love it.
309
00:21:47,790 --> 00:21:49,110
I'm firing up.
310
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:57,010
Everything's working.
311
00:21:59,430 --> 00:22:01,390
First scoop into Harold. Here we go.
312
00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:11,850
For the first time this season, Mike is
on the go.
313
00:22:13,950 --> 00:22:15,550
Nice to finally get this thing going.
314
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:16,750
Got it there.
315
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,340
It was brutal. There's no way we would
have made this happen without the trucks
316
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:44,560
and the extra help up here.
317
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,280
But we are finally down to pay, and
we're going to load that in the trucks
318
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,280
haul it down to Roxanne.
319
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,940
At Sulphur Creek, Mitch Blaschke has hit
pay in the first section of the new two
320
00:22:56,940 --> 00:22:57,940
-acre extension.
321
00:22:58,660 --> 00:23:04,980
Now, his crew is in a race to sloop it
all before the water license runs out in
322
00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:06,220
less than three weeks.
323
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,760
Holy...
324
00:23:10,929 --> 00:23:17,050
Loader operator Sean Holcroft is feeding
the new pay through wash plant Roxanne.
325
00:23:18,190 --> 00:23:22,630
Parker, he's got some deadlines going,
so we really got to bust our balls here
326
00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:26,870
and get moving. I got this old 220
loader, things a little ancient.
327
00:23:27,150 --> 00:23:30,250
Still able to wash rocks with the plant,
but she's a bit of a rough ride.
328
00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:32,850
I have my second year down here now.
329
00:23:33,150 --> 00:23:36,490
A big step up for me, a little bit more
responsibilities. They're letting me do
330
00:23:36,490 --> 00:23:37,289
a lot more.
331
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:38,910
It's pretty awesome to have this
opportunity.
332
00:23:39,610 --> 00:23:40,610
I really love it.
333
00:23:46,410 --> 00:23:48,630
I don't know what's going on with this
thing.
334
00:23:50,750 --> 00:23:52,930
Looks like it's got brakes locking up.
335
00:23:55,570 --> 00:23:56,710
Let's take half load.
336
00:23:58,330 --> 00:23:59,330
Oh.
337
00:24:01,550 --> 00:24:02,550
Gainful, man.
338
00:24:04,890 --> 00:24:07,070
Getting a little hydraulic oil born in
here.
339
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:18,460
Yeah, Mitch, it's 220 here. It's up real
bad. I guess they got no power, barely
340
00:24:18,460 --> 00:24:19,480
making it up this ramp.
341
00:24:19,820 --> 00:24:22,760
There's no way I'm going to be able to
keep up with this, even at 100 yards an
342
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,760
hour.
343
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,060
This is not what we need right now.
344
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:35,720
Unfortunately, with 220 being down right
now, we're going to shut Roxanne down.
345
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:39,000
Shutting down Roxanne could mean losing.
346
00:24:39,530 --> 00:24:42,170
Over $8 ,000 an hour.
347
00:24:42,590 --> 00:24:46,870
Parker has all these ambitions and
things he wants us to do this season,
348
00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:49,710
got one old loader out here, and right
now we're not sleuthing.
349
00:24:51,730 --> 00:24:56,490
To fix the loader, Mitch calls in
mechanic Taylor Matejka.
350
00:24:58,390 --> 00:25:01,890
I've got an alarm for low hydraulic oil.
You can see there's nothing in the
351
00:25:01,890 --> 00:25:02,890
sight glass.
352
00:25:04,530 --> 00:25:08,990
With the machine running, the
transmission oil was way high.
353
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:11,340
It should be at the bottom of the sight
glass here.
354
00:25:11,740 --> 00:25:13,040
We're way over full.
355
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,900
So what caused this is the parking
brake.
356
00:25:16,380 --> 00:25:20,700
And it's got a piston inside with seals
that release the parking brake. These
357
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:24,620
seals have failed and the parking brake
is dragging and it's filling the
358
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:26,000
transmission with hydraulic oil.
359
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,960
I'm just going to pull the drain plug on
the transmission here and we'll let her
360
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,960
box.
361
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:43,320
Hopefully it's just the seals, but if a
piece got between the piston and the
362
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,160
housing, we might have a piston, and
that's going to be a huge problem.
363
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:54,380
The 220 loader's parking brake is spring
-loaded and controlled by hydraulic
364
00:25:54,380 --> 00:25:55,380
pressure.
365
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,400
To access the brake, Taylor refers cages
by using three bolts that compress the
366
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,880
spring, releasing the brake and securing
the piston to the brake cover.
367
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,140
We will then remove the 16 bolts that
hold the cover in place and lift off the
368
00:26:13,140 --> 00:26:14,960
caged parking brake piston.
369
00:26:15,580 --> 00:26:21,180
Taylor can then remove and replace the
damaged seals before reinstalling the
370
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:26,560
brake, uncaging the springs, and
refilling the hydraulic oil, allowing
371
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,740
parking brake to function properly.
372
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:34,260
We're just buzzing the parking brake out
here. We've got it caged with these
373
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:35,260
three bolts.
374
00:26:38,540 --> 00:26:42,280
there we go we'll take it out put it on
the back of my truck hopefully this
375
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:48,580
thing is not because we can't afford a
down loader you can see here there's no
376
00:26:48,580 --> 00:26:52,760
real damage to the piston but the
parking brake seal is completely we need
377
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:58,320
replace it sean was right to give me a
shout right away we'll swap the seals
378
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:04,720
and put this thing back together let's
get started we'll peel these seals off
379
00:27:07,670 --> 00:27:10,350
We're at the assembly stage now, just
putting these seals in.
380
00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:12,270
Hey, Taylor, you got a copy, Taylor?
381
00:27:13,710 --> 00:27:14,669
Yeah, go ahead.
382
00:27:14,670 --> 00:27:15,750
How's it going over there, man?
383
00:27:16,410 --> 00:27:19,410
We're putting new seals in the parking
brake right now. Thank God it was just
384
00:27:19,410 --> 00:27:22,990
the seals and we had them in stock. Give
us about an hour and a half, two hours,
385
00:27:23,070 --> 00:27:24,070
and this thing will be up and running.
386
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:26,430
All right, man. We'll be ready for it.
387
00:27:26,790 --> 00:27:29,610
Mitch is chomping at the bit to get this
thing up and running, and it's just,
388
00:27:29,650 --> 00:27:31,590
you know, race against time to get this
thing back together.
389
00:27:33,950 --> 00:27:34,950
It's all good.
390
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,200
Fill it with transmission oil.
391
00:27:47,420 --> 00:27:49,260
We can be back to making money.
392
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Transmission's full.
393
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,940
Parking brake's reassembled, refilled.
394
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,640
Everything's hooked up.
395
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:00,460
Lay down.
396
00:28:01,220 --> 00:28:02,220
Good boy.
397
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:14,140
We're going to take it down to Sean so
they can go fire up rock done.
398
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,499
Yeah, buddy.
399
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:28,920
Thanks, man. Five hours after shutting
down and $40 ,000 of gold production
400
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,720
lost, Roxanne is back in the game.
401
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,860
Washing rocks, Roxanne shaking, getting
that gold.
402
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,460
We got Roxanne on a good clip here. It's
loosening along very nicely. We're
403
00:28:43,460 --> 00:28:47,100
pushing this project here at Sulphur all
the way to its absolute limit.
404
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,380
We're getting through it, but...
405
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:51,180
We're not out of the woods yet.
406
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:22,190
We understand we're not mining Vegas
Valley. It's different. It's up for us
407
00:29:22,190 --> 00:29:23,650
prove that there is something here.
408
00:29:23,930 --> 00:29:25,110
It's going to be nonstop.
409
00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:28,370
It's not going to be an easy season.
410
00:29:28,690 --> 00:29:30,770
I think this will be our toughest season
with Rick.
411
00:29:31,710 --> 00:29:37,730
Rick's crew is loosing pay dirt from the
new boulder cut, which they hope will
412
00:29:37,730 --> 00:29:39,290
finally deliver some gold.
413
00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:43,350
We're going to probably work our way up
this valley probably all season.
414
00:29:43,470 --> 00:29:47,410
Hopefully, the farther we go or the more
that we run, the better it looks.
415
00:30:18,990 --> 00:30:19,990
What's going on?
416
00:30:21,810 --> 00:30:22,810
I got some news.
417
00:30:40,990 --> 00:30:41,990
What's going on?
418
00:30:43,810 --> 00:30:44,810
I got some news.
419
00:30:47,630 --> 00:30:49,230
We got a water license on Lord Duncan.
420
00:30:49,810 --> 00:30:50,810
Really? Yeah.
421
00:30:52,270 --> 00:30:53,330
Yeah. Yeah.
422
00:30:53,590 --> 00:30:54,870
That's actually really good news.
423
00:30:55,270 --> 00:30:56,270
Got something for you guys.
424
00:31:11,790 --> 00:31:15,330
We got the news today from the attorney.
They granted an extension until
425
00:31:15,330 --> 00:31:16,330
November 2025.
426
00:31:16,390 --> 00:31:19,930
We can go break ground in Vegas Valley,
start draining it. We can get gold from
427
00:31:19,930 --> 00:31:21,790
Vegas Valley this year. Was that a
verified email?
428
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:29,110
A verified email, yes. We 100 % have a
water license, a land use permit, and
429
00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:30,310
everything at Lower Duncan.
430
00:31:30,510 --> 00:31:36,710
In just four years, Rick's claim on
Lower Duncan paid out nearly 6 ,000
431
00:31:37,090 --> 00:31:41,350
But after losing the water license, he
had to abandon it.
432
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:47,780
including a pay pile that could contain
more than $1 .4 million in gold.
433
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:53,360
We already got a pile up there ready to
run, and, you know, we can actually run
434
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,300
that now. So what does that mean for
this deal?
435
00:31:57,180 --> 00:32:00,340
Well, that's a good point because we
can't just walk away from this. I
436
00:32:00,340 --> 00:32:02,700
Troy another 100 ounces to buy Lightning
Creek.
437
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:06,040
I'm not just going to pull 100 ounces
out of here and give it to Troy and walk
438
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:06,759
the f*** away.
439
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,640
You know, we've got to pull some serious
gold out of here.
440
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:10,800
But this is really good news.
441
00:32:11,290 --> 00:32:14,850
I don't even think you've seen the best
out of Vegas Valley yet. No, and I'm
442
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:17,510
hoping we haven't seen the best out of
this. You know, I think our future is
443
00:32:17,510 --> 00:32:18,449
really bright.
444
00:32:18,450 --> 00:32:21,370
I've got a lot to figure out, but we've
got a water license that we are going
445
00:32:21,370 --> 00:32:22,370
back to Vegas Valley.
446
00:32:22,830 --> 00:32:23,830
This is cause for celebration.
447
00:32:24,470 --> 00:32:25,590
Yeah. All right, guys.
448
00:32:26,550 --> 00:32:27,550
All right.
449
00:32:28,670 --> 00:32:35,330
You know, in my head right now, I'm very
happy. There's a lot going on right
450
00:32:35,330 --> 00:32:38,070
now. It's like one extreme to the other,
right? We had no water license. Now
451
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:40,350
we've got a water license in two spots,
you know.
452
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,220
I want to just run to Vegas Valley. I
know the gold's there, but I've got
453
00:32:43,220 --> 00:32:46,020
obligations on Lightning Creek. You
know, I owe Troy 100 ounces. You know,
454
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,160
that's a quarter million dollars. So
there's a lot to figure out, but at the
455
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,160
of the day, this is good news.
456
00:33:08,010 --> 00:33:09,570
It's nice to be finally solution.
457
00:33:09,810 --> 00:33:10,930
It's been a long time coming.
458
00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:18,070
At Paradise Hill, despite a lack of
equipment, Mike is determined to prove
459
00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:21,130
his dad that he can bring in the gold.
460
00:33:21,630 --> 00:33:23,250
Be careful not to overload it.
461
00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:28,890
It's nice to get this going. It's
exactly what I wanted. Closer and closer
462
00:33:28,890 --> 00:33:29,890
time.
463
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:40,960
Hold the bypass.
464
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:50,940
Ugh.
465
00:33:51,340 --> 00:33:52,760
This is going to be a pain in the ass.
466
00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:56,720
Yeah, but that's got to get fixed before
we can keep going.
467
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,020
I'm going to lift this up, take these
off so I can get this little orange
468
00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:03,320
here, and I can check the rubber.
469
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,340
If you open the excavator, I'll wrap it
around. We'll just lift it.
470
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:22,760
Yeah, because these are coming off like
butter.
471
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,380
My gas gets ripped completely.
472
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,159
Yeah, she ripped right apart.
473
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,380
My only two rubbers I got are too small
or even too big.
474
00:34:39,909 --> 00:34:42,250
You can make that work, though. You know
what I mean?
475
00:34:42,830 --> 00:34:43,830
Cut holes.
476
00:34:44,630 --> 00:34:45,969
We're going to have to around with it.
477
00:34:50,850 --> 00:34:54,130
What we're going to do is mark out all
the holes, and then we'll just push the
478
00:34:54,130 --> 00:34:55,130
bolt holes through.
479
00:35:01,890 --> 00:35:05,350
Then I'm going to cut, and yeah, the
bolt will fit through it.
480
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,680
Yeah, there should be 12.
481
00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:14,340
A little scabby, but it'll work.
482
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,660
For the bush pick gasket to work, it
must form a tight seal between the two
483
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:21,740
metal flanges.
484
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,800
A little bit more on my way. There we
go.
485
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,880
If we do this and it works, it should
last and hold forever.
486
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,080
Hey, that's my butt.
487
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:39,600
Let her down.
488
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,400
That's tight.
489
00:35:46,660 --> 00:35:47,780
This should all work.
490
00:36:13,169 --> 00:36:14,510
Finally getting this done.
491
00:36:14,910 --> 00:36:18,290
My dad would be happy to get any gold.
So I'm going to grab every ounce of gold
492
00:36:18,290 --> 00:36:19,310
I can out of that dirt.
493
00:36:20,590 --> 00:36:22,950
Between me and Colby, we should be able
to get this thing going.
494
00:36:23,610 --> 00:36:25,450
This will be running for the rest of the
season.
495
00:36:34,790 --> 00:36:38,850
Mike Beetz may be dreaming of his own
Klondike kingdom.
496
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,060
But there is already a crown.
497
00:36:41,340 --> 00:36:42,480
He wears proud.
498
00:36:43,860 --> 00:36:47,080
According to everyone, I'm the king of
crowns, and this should be nothing new.
499
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Go chase the beaver.
500
00:36:53,280 --> 00:37:00,080
You make me... I leave you guys alone
for, what,
501
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,200
two minutes, and then you're crowned
again?
502
00:37:02,660 --> 00:37:03,660
Let's go.
503
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:04,680
Ah, it's...
504
00:37:24,859 --> 00:37:25,859
Thanks, man.
505
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:28,780
How are you? No fire?
506
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:30,380
No, too hot for that.
507
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:31,359
It's hot.
508
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,380
Summer finally got here. Yeah, it came
fast.
509
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,320
It was a smart move to pivot from a
diamond cut. There's no way we can make
510
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,320
living off it.
511
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:41,240
I like the spot that we moved to.
512
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:45,720
It's definitely looking better in every
way. There's boulders there. Yeah, it is
513
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:49,540
nicer material compared to that stuff
that we just dug at the start of the
514
00:37:49,540 --> 00:37:50,319
diamond cut.
515
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,960
So we're on the right track. Yeah.
516
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,340
Well, I guess maybe we should weigh up
the gold.
517
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:01,260
Rick's previous spot, the diamond cut,
produced just 7 .35 ounces.
518
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:08,440
Now, he's hoping the new boulder cut
will deliver at least 30 ounces for its
519
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,200
time. All right, count it out.
520
00:38:14,020 --> 00:38:18,840
1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12.
521
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:27,480
18, 20, 22, 22 .35.
522
00:38:29,380 --> 00:38:32,140
Worth $78 ,000.
523
00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:34,660
Definitely an improvement.
524
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,760
You've got to look at it that way.
525
00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:37,980
Three times better.
526
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,120
Yeah.
527
00:38:39,820 --> 00:38:42,620
I mean, obviously, that water license
coming in is huge.
528
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:45,260
But a lot of decisions come with that,
you know.
529
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,260
There's a lot of pieces that have to
fall into place.
530
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,000
What's going through your head?
531
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,320
Tough it out here?
532
00:38:51,740 --> 00:38:56,560
I mean, we're going to have to go back
to Vegas Valley. I mean, I want to.
533
00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:00,420
And maybe at the end of the day, this is
just not the happening spot right here.
534
00:39:02,740 --> 00:39:07,140
We can't abandon this place. I did buy
it, but the one thing that I can say is
535
00:39:07,140 --> 00:39:09,880
that we can't afford to just shut this
down while we're, you know.
536
00:39:10,460 --> 00:39:13,140
We've got to take advantage of all the
solution hours we can get. How many gold
537
00:39:13,140 --> 00:39:16,800
ways do we say there can be improvement
before we finally say we need to get our
538
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,840
assets back to Vegas Valley?
539
00:39:18,270 --> 00:39:22,590
At the end of the day, I owe Troy, you
know, 100 ounces on this ground. So we
540
00:39:22,590 --> 00:39:24,910
can't just walk away from it right now.
It's the only spot we're getting gold
541
00:39:24,910 --> 00:39:28,190
from. Does he care where the 100 ounces
comes from? Because I'm telling you now,
542
00:39:28,290 --> 00:39:31,690
you're going to get 100 ounces a lot
quicker. You do the math, it doesn't
543
00:39:31,690 --> 00:39:34,210
sense to hit 1 ,800 ounces by the end of
the season. You know, it's going to
544
00:39:34,210 --> 00:39:37,410
take a while to get Vegas Valley ready.
So the minute we're able to swoosh down
545
00:39:37,410 --> 00:39:40,750
there, we will go there. That's a
promise. I think we should go there now.
546
00:39:41,230 --> 00:39:42,330
Well, that's too bad.
547
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:44,750
I think there's gold here.
548
00:39:46,850 --> 00:39:47,910
I hope you're... All right.
549
00:39:48,250 --> 00:39:49,610
Definitely the pressure's going to be
on, man.
550
00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:55,770
Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.
551
00:39:56,250 --> 00:39:59,650
Yeah, this gold wave is better than last
week, but it's not as good as what
552
00:39:59,650 --> 00:40:03,210
lower Duncan could be. There could be
400 ounces in that pay pile.
553
00:40:03,550 --> 00:40:07,470
So, you know, for us to try to reach 1
,800 ounces, we need to be down there
554
00:40:07,470 --> 00:40:08,388
right away.
555
00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:12,170
Well, the gold total for the week, 22 .3
ounces. Yeah, three times as good. But
556
00:40:12,170 --> 00:40:15,050
the exciting thing is we got the water
life extension back on Duncan Creek, so
557
00:40:15,050 --> 00:40:16,050
we go back to Vegas Valley.
558
00:40:16,849 --> 00:40:17,769
Huge news.
559
00:40:17,770 --> 00:40:19,630
Now everybody's just arguing on when.
560
00:40:20,030 --> 00:40:22,630
They want to go there immediately, but
the timing's just not right. It's going
561
00:40:22,630 --> 00:40:25,350
to take a few days to get that ready,
and I'm not willing to stop getting gold
562
00:40:25,350 --> 00:40:28,910
from Lightning Creek until it is ready.
So we're going to stick it out here, and
563
00:40:28,910 --> 00:40:30,250
we'll be back in Vegas Valley soon.
564
00:40:40,690 --> 00:40:44,630
Hello. Hey, guys. Hey, guys. How are
you? Here. How are you? Good.
565
00:40:45,090 --> 00:40:46,090
Good, good, good.
566
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:48,880
Have a seat.
567
00:40:51,580 --> 00:40:55,360
I've been here pretty much all week,
sluicing away on the early bird cut
568
00:40:55,460 --> 00:40:57,200
Doing very well, actually, I think.
569
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,680
Busy stripping the corner cut.
570
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,660
So I've been doing actually quite well.
How about you guys?
571
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,000
Yeah, I set up Harold.
572
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,840
Yeah. We did some old -time entailings,
didn't we? Might as well sluice it
573
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,638
sitting there.
574
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:11,640
Oh, really?
575
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,910
Perfect. Anything you get is bonus.
576
00:41:14,150 --> 00:41:17,410
I mean, if the prize is off the day,
rather than throw one of the way, that
577
00:41:17,410 --> 00:41:19,350
don't make no sense. Did it show
anything?
578
00:41:19,950 --> 00:41:21,150
No, there's a little bit.
579
00:41:21,650 --> 00:41:24,570
I better count it quick, I guess, huh?
I'll pour slow.
580
00:41:26,450 --> 00:41:28,010
There we go. One, two, three, four.
581
00:41:30,330 --> 00:41:31,330
And a five.
582
00:41:31,470 --> 00:41:33,390
And a six. And a seven. Eight.
583
00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:35,370
Nine. Ten.
584
00:41:35,830 --> 00:41:36,890
Eleven. Twelve.
585
00:41:37,470 --> 00:41:38,470
Thirteen.
586
00:41:38,650 --> 00:41:39,650
Fourteen.
587
00:41:40,110 --> 00:41:42,150
Fourteen point two eight. Worth.
588
00:41:42,590 --> 00:41:44,070
Nearly $50 ,000.
589
00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:47,090
It all adds up. It all adds up.
590
00:41:47,970 --> 00:41:48,970
I'm proud of you.
591
00:41:49,630 --> 00:41:51,190
That is a good little venture.
592
00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:54,170
So you want a few counts from the
Indian?
593
00:41:54,390 --> 00:42:01,230
Okay, what do we got? So far, the early
bird cut is averaging 270 ounces a week.
594
00:42:01,570 --> 00:42:02,570
Michael, ready to count?
595
00:42:04,990 --> 00:42:11,850
10, 30, 40, 50, 100, 110, 120, 170.
596
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:19,040
190, 200, 210, 250, 260,
597
00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:25,540
270, 280, 290, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350,
390.
598
00:42:26,300 --> 00:42:27,320
Making the four?
599
00:42:27,620 --> 00:42:28,840
No. No?
600
00:42:30,020 --> 00:42:35,200
398 .18. Worth almost $1 .4 million.
601
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,080
But, I mean, you didn't make four.
602
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,480
Oh, my.
603
00:42:39,260 --> 00:42:41,600
Bringing the beat season total.
604
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,240
to over 2 ,300 ounces.
605
00:42:44,620 --> 00:42:45,620
So that's not bad.
606
00:42:45,820 --> 00:42:48,920
You said at the beginning of the season
that there were maybe some opportunities
607
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,760
for Mike as soon as he started getting
gold out of the hill.
608
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,660
So what's happening with that?
609
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:57,980
No. No, no, no, no. We've got to get the
thrombo growing.
610
00:42:58,220 --> 00:42:59,920
That's where the real gold is going to
come from.
611
00:43:00,980 --> 00:43:03,320
That's all that's good. Just go bring me
some more.
612
00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:07,720
Okay, see you later, guys.
613
00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:08,940
Yep. Bye.
614
00:43:10,540 --> 00:43:14,920
I do hope Tony will honor what he said
to Mike because he's been working very
615
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,880
hard to get this all sorted out, so he
should get them set up.
616
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:21,080
Honestly, Mike really deserves it.
617
00:43:22,620 --> 00:43:26,040
The frustrating part is I think I have a
better chance of learning to breathe
618
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,780
through my ass than I have of going out
on my own.
619
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,120
Whatever.
620
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:38,399
What's up?
621
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,400
Yo, yo.
622
00:43:40,029 --> 00:43:41,370
Well, how did we do this week, Chris?
623
00:43:41,650 --> 00:43:43,330
Brock Dan just chugging away.
624
00:43:44,310 --> 00:43:47,830
Man, that was an unreal pan down there
at Sulphur. That pan was probably one of
625
00:43:47,830 --> 00:43:48,890
the best ones we've ever seen.
626
00:43:49,630 --> 00:43:51,170
It's up there. Top ten.
627
00:43:51,970 --> 00:43:55,750
I hate saying anything. I don't want to
jinx anything, you know. Yeah, I'm
628
00:43:55,750 --> 00:43:56,750
pretty good at that.
629
00:43:59,430 --> 00:44:01,070
How's your juggling act going?
630
00:44:01,330 --> 00:44:03,250
You know, it's keeping me busy, that's
for sure.
631
00:44:04,450 --> 00:44:07,290
We're going to start out with you with
Bob. How's that? Sure.
632
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:09,310
Let's see how Bob did this week.
633
00:44:09,790 --> 00:44:15,450
Big Bob. At Dominion Creek, Tyson's been
running wash plant Bob in the bridge
634
00:44:15,450 --> 00:44:19,310
cut, where it's averaging 170 ounces a
week.
635
00:44:20,310 --> 00:44:26,170
Here we go. We got 20, 40, 60, 80,
636
00:44:26,470 --> 00:44:33,150
100, 120, 160, 180, 188
637
00:44:33,150 --> 00:44:34,150
.4.
638
00:44:36,050 --> 00:44:38,930
Nice. Not bad. That's a good weight.
639
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,940
So, Bob's chugging along.
640
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,940
Brendan, you want to do a slucifer here?
641
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:44,560
Go for it. All right.
642
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,940
Lucifer, in the Golden Mile, is pacing
200 ounces a week.
643
00:44:50,180 --> 00:44:56,560
20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150,
644
00:44:57,100 --> 00:44:59,060
180, 200.
645
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:02,640
Holy.
646
00:45:03,780 --> 00:45:05,260
232 .1.
647
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,600
Wow. Holy.
648
00:45:09,180 --> 00:45:11,340
Yeah. Nice. That's pretty cool, isn't
it? Beautiful.
649
00:45:12,140 --> 00:45:13,660
That's a good wig for Dominion.
650
00:45:14,220 --> 00:45:15,520
420 ounces or something?
651
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,120
That's a good number.
652
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:23,120
And then there's Roxanne Mitchell.
653
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:24,580
She looks heavy.
654
00:45:25,820 --> 00:45:27,040
Let's see what we got here.
655
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:28,760
Ready to rip.
656
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:35,860
Ready? Yep. Now it's time to find out if
Parker's move to extend the cut at
657
00:45:35,860 --> 00:45:37,520
Sulfur will pay out.
658
00:45:39,620 --> 00:45:44,960
50, 100, 150, 200.
659
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,440
Oh, yeah. Keep going.
660
00:45:48,860 --> 00:45:50,900
250. A little bit more.
661
00:45:56,300 --> 00:45:57,880
300 right on the dot.
662
00:45:58,380 --> 00:45:59,380
Plus this.
663
00:46:00,020 --> 00:46:01,100
We have another one.
664
00:46:01,420 --> 00:46:03,040
It looks like it's got a load in there.
665
00:46:04,060 --> 00:46:06,200
Ready? All right. We're going to keep
adding to her.
666
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:13,120
There's another 40, 80, 100,
667
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,860
106 .5.
668
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,120
406 .5 ounces.
669
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,360
Okay, yeah.
670
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,440
Mitch,
671
00:46:29,140 --> 00:46:31,420
go ahead and take everything up there.
672
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:34,500
With just one plant. Mitch.
673
00:46:35,050 --> 00:46:38,150
has nearly matched Tyson's two -plant
run.
674
00:46:40,270 --> 00:46:42,450
Dude, that's a lot for one week.
675
00:46:42,750 --> 00:46:47,810
Yeah, so this week, our total is 827
ounces.
676
00:46:48,450 --> 00:46:51,590
Sick. Is that crazy or what?
677
00:46:51,890 --> 00:46:53,390
I was not expecting that.
678
00:46:55,290 --> 00:47:02,030
827 ounces at record prices is worth $2
.89 million,
679
00:47:02,590 --> 00:47:04,390
the most cash.
680
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:07,160
Parker's ever banked in one week.
681
00:47:08,860 --> 00:47:10,400
That's Parker's happy face.
682
00:47:11,780 --> 00:47:12,780
There we go.
683
00:47:13,340 --> 00:47:16,480
800 ounces, dude. You've got to be happy
about that in a week.
684
00:47:17,220 --> 00:47:21,760
Yeah. I just hope we can keep it up.
There's still so much season left.
685
00:47:22,380 --> 00:47:24,480
Good way to start it, though. That's a
good way to start it.
686
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,100
Thank you, guys. Cool. I'll bag this
stuff up. We've all got to do.
687
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:35,100
After several years of just moving from
the Indian River and getting set up and
688
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:39,220
a lot deeper ground on Dominion, it's
taken a long time of stripping and prep.
689
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:46,780
And finally this season, I don't want to
jinx it, but it's looking really good.
690
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,560
We're coming out of the gates running,
so hopefully we can just keep that up,
691
00:47:49,620 --> 00:47:50,620
right?
692
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:52,660
And then sulfur is just killing it.
