There are a lot of wildfires right now.

They've all been lit quite recently by lightning.

There's one that's maybe like three or four miles from our camp, which

is a problem.

30 -year -old Parker Schnabel is on a path to a record $35 million season.

But intense wildfires could shut him down at any moment.

Boom.

Oh, wow. Big fire.

Dude, that is a rager, huh?

So right now the film crew safety is telling us that we have to get out of

truck.

You can feel the heat? Yes.

Really? I think we've got to pull our feet now.

I'll come.

We are looking at a wildfire.

I just don't think this is a good idea to be in this situation.

Obviously you have a job to do, but the fact that we can see it means it's not

moving fast towards us.

If it was moving fast towards us, this would be all black smoke where we're

standing.

Over the last week, the Yukon has ignited into an inferno.

93 wildfires are raging.

covering an area of over 250 ,000 acres.

With a strong wind, they can travel over 150 miles in a day.

There's one just two miles from Parker's Dominion Creek operation, and another

just one mile from his Sulphur Creek claim.

Right now we have three plants running.

Dominion's going good.

And things at Sulphur, Mitch and Brennan are doing really well. I really thought

they were going to be done at Sulphur sooner.

But, you know, one of those situations where I'm glad it's lasted longer

the cold's been good.

You know, they've put away some pretty good ounces for the size of pit that

they've done.

You know, we're on a mission right now trying to get to this 10 ,000 ounce

target. And it seems like things might heat up a little bit on us here.

We've got some fires burning just down the creek.

They're heading this way, but hopefully we can keep everything motoring along

here.

Mitch has been racing to pull out all of the pay before the water license runs

out in two weeks.

Any delays caused by an evacuation could mean gold is left behind.

How's it going?

Good, how are you? Not too bad.

Did you see the fire on the road?

It is raging, and you can see, like, the line of fire.

Pretty impressive. I don't think it jumps the creek, though. So I think

fine. Like, the worst thing that can happen is, like, you know, the roads

engulfed in flames.

Okay. I mean, as long as we got a way out.

Yeah. I mean, as long as those fires don't get too close and cause us any

we should be sleuthed and moved out of here by the end of the week.

Let's just talk to Nona real quick.

If that fire, like...

I don't think it'll make it across sulfur.

It's very close.

Do you think it'll make it across the valley?

Yeah, there's a lot of trees around it. But will this stuff burn?

Oh, yeah, with the heat. Like that, anything will burn.

The wind right now is giving it that direction, and it's burned a lot since

morning. So we should see if we can get a helicopter.

if the road engulfed in flames. The helicopters are going to be busy with

fires. I don't know if you're going to get a helicopter that's going to come in

every day and do that.

It'd be nice if there was some rain.

Yeah, we could use that for sure.

This is such a bad time for me to leave.

I'll be gone for like five days.

Okay. I mean, you guys have a good handle on these things. Like, you'll

be moved out of here by then. But we've got all the pay that's at the plant

right now.

So it's just a matter of getting that sluiced.

Brennan can head down to Ken's and start getting things sorted out there. We'll

get this finished and pack it up and roll it down. Okay, sweet.

Mitch and his crew need to finish sluicing all the stockpiled pay before

fires reach sulfur and then move wash plant Roxanne 25 miles.

to Kenan Stewart at Indian River and get running before Parker's return in five

days.

What we're seeing right now is it's not just one fire we got burning. Everywhere

you look here, when the smoke does clear up, there's fires all around us.

All it takes is the wind to change direction, so not ideal by any means.

I'm hoping that by the time I'm back, they'll have the plant down at Kenan

Stewart and hope the place hasn't burned to the ground.

Which not too often do I mean that literally.

When you look at the sky, it's just covered in smoke.

Your fire can burn whatever they want. The gold on the ground don't care.

So while the gold price is high, don't sit there and think you've got it made.

Just keep on going.

As long as we can keep on closing, it doesn't matter.

Don't miss the opportunity.

Despite the fires two miles away, King of the Klondike, Tony Beats, is working

relentlessly to cash in on red -hot gold prices and has already banked over $9

.5 million in gold, nearly half his season gold.

Right now we wanted to build some generational wealth mining for gold, and

has never been a better opportunity than today.

Mike, you got Harold going on the hill by Hester running some old -time

sailings.

They still have to add to the piggy bank in order to keep it alive, right?

You know, I don't take my time. I get it on the go.

And they grab it while you can because you never know if it's going to last.

We got Cousin Mike and Jacob on a fluselot.

They have to keep that land going.

Tony's built a massive stockpile of pay dirt beside his only moneymaker at

Indian River,

sluice a lot.

There you have it. You get a sluice by the end of the week.

Right now, that's paying all the bills.

Tony's mood is go, go, go.

He wants us to keep running nonstop.

Operator Eric Murrell.

feeds 250 yards of stockpiled pay an hour through sluice a lot.

This bush plant has been running 24 -7, so it's picking up a

beating.

That's funny, he knows what he's doing, so...

If you look in this box, some of the

wiring is burnt right up.

But as soon as you take the cover off, you can smell it, and it just smelled

like it was trying to light on fire.

What do you got? So one of the main wires burned.

The motor's out.

Oh, what are you doing?

Rip off.

At least we got the problem. We got the motor. Hey, I hope you get it done.

Sluicelot shaker decks vibrate to separate waste dirt from the gold.

A single 40 -horsepower drive motor turns the plant pulley system that

death. But its electrical wiring, has worn through and caused a fire.

Connor and Jacob need to remove the old 600 -pound motor and replace it with a

new one. Then start the plant up and get back on the gold.

Every hour, the loose lot is down. It's costing Tony $8 ,000.

I was very fortunate that we have parts on there, that we have the people to put

it on and everything.

But when the sluice box is down, it's never quick enough anyway, so I'll

a little longer.

The pulley's on, ready to...

get this thing off and landed.

So how's it going guys?

Good. Just getting the guard on there and fire it up. Yep. Thing on the go.

After five hours, Sluicelot is ready to fire up again.

Alright, that's how you do it, bro. Good job.

Yeah.

What?

Did you just stop it? No.

Not too sure what's happening.

You know what's wrong with it, right?

What's that?

Well, it's running, but it ain't working.

Yeah, I know.

I'm just puzzled, man.

Tony's only Indian River moneymaker, Slusalot, has been fitted with a new

deck motor, but the plant has mysteriously ground to a halt.

So what do you got?

Oh, this is starting to go too far into electrician space.

It's very unlikely we'll be running this tonight, so we're going to get the

pumps shut off, we're going to get rid of the people.

Not much you're going to do about it?

Yes.

I mean, $8 ,000 an hour.

Tony has lost $40 ,000 and counting in gold production.

Hey, well, we're probably going to need an electrician to fix it.

So we'll call the people that build them, see what they say, but I'll bet

we'll be down for a day or two.

I put a ton of money into this ground down at Lightning Creek, and, you know,

I've got to get that money back out of it.

In the mountains above Keno City, far from the fires, Rick Ness has a big

decision to make.

For six weeks, he's been working his new Lightning Creek claim, but the gold has

been hard to find, thanking him only 29 ounces.

Days ago, he got access to his Vegas Valley claim on Duncan Creek.

In the beginning of the season, we didn't have a water license on Vegas

but now we've got an extension on that too.

But I can't just abandon Lightning Creek.

That's a lot of money wrapped up in that, and I know there's gold there, and

I've got to figure out how to get it out.

Rick wants to try to make this profitable.

He bought the land, but by the end of the day...

You know, we should all be at Vegas Valley. There's good gold there, and so

here, it's not turning out the best.

Rick's crew can't comprehend why he doesn't just leave Lightning Creek and

back to Vegas Valley, where there's a pile of pay dirt with upwards of 400

ounces in it and a cut full of gold -rich pay.

We need to get down there to Vegas Valley, get that better gold, because

not having it at the moment.

You know, this is record -setting gold prices right now, and at this point,

we're going to be setting record gold lows on the next crew.

The fact of the matter is that I still owe Troy 100 ounces of gold. Goodbye,

blaming crazy.

To get the gold he needs,

Rick's decided to split his crew.

We've got several things that need to happen before we can even get going

We've got to get a pump in the Vegas Valley, get that to watering first

Not to mention we've got a bunch of fixes to do on Monster Red yet. There's

fair amount to be done, but we've just got to buckle down and get it done.

We need the 700 to work.

It's the only way we're going to be able to keep both things going.

The 700 excavator is Rick's only free piece of equipment, and getting it ready

is critical to his plan.

Rick wants me to do a little look over on this, make sure it's greased up. You

can see that the track never got shoveled at the end of last year, so

fun. But, yeah, we'll jump up, check fluids, get it fired up.

You know, I've got a lack of people, a lack of machines to do it, but I'm going

to have to figure something out because I think this year is the year to go for

broke, you know.

Hey, Rick, you got a copy?

Copy, go for it.

Any chance you can come over to 700?

Got a pretty big issue.

Copy that.

What are we dealing with?

So we've got a problem.

This should be coolant. This should be all you see. And right now, I've got a

mixture of oil and coolant. And that's a big problem.

Basically, if there's a crack in that head gasket, the 700's dead.

The 700's 460 horsepower engine won't fire up.

Ryan suspects the head gasket that provides an airtight seal between the

cylinder head and the engine block has broken, allowing oil and coolant to mix

together, causing the engine to stop working.

With potential damage to the cylinders, the whole engine needs a total rebuild.

Yeah, that mess right there tells me everything.

I mean, I've been worried about getting fuel and food up here because of these

wildfires. I mean, how are we going to get an engine or anything?

Yeah.

I might as well take this out of the picture. I think so. Completely, right?

Rick's plans to slowly prep Vegas Valley are already in ruins.

If he takes any more equipment from Lightning Creek, he won't be able to

continue mining.

So it kind of puts you in a predicament. Yeah. I know you're bringing gold in,

but... That's not going to hit 1 ,800 ounces.

Dude, we've seen just the tip of what's in Vegas Valley.

We know what's there.

1 ,800 ounces isn't going to come from Lightning Creek. It's going to come from

Vegas. And I think we've got to get over there and get going.

I mean, there's a lot that needs to be done. And if we've got all hands on deck

down here, that's not going to get done.

Well, I mean, yeah, I get it. I get where you're coming from. I see it.

But I'm not willing to just abandon Lightning Creek or get gold.

I don't like being that guy that's like, hey, you need to do your business like

this because you're – obviously, you know what you're doing. You've made it

long. You've done it this far.

But it's like at some point I've got to think about at home too where it's like,

you know, we come up here and if we don't do good here, I fail at home.

So everything rides on kind of your shoulders, honestly.

Dude, we've got to make the move.

I – yeah.

I'm not just going to shut down Lightning Creek. I want to sluice there

longer, just a couple more days.

I just want to see what's going on there. I want to see if it's going to

out. Then we can move to Vegas Valley.

Okay.

By sluicing for a couple more days at Lightning Creek, Rick will discover how

good the gold is and maybe score enough to pay for the ground outright.

You know, you look at the weather today and the rain coming down, it's really

helped us out.

After a night and day of rainfall, the wildfires are out.

Well, it looks like we've got about two more scoops of material here and sulfur

to go through Roxanne.

We're going to get this wash plant shut down, cleaned up, packed up, and on the

road down to Ken's. And hopefully we've got our fire back up here before Parker

shows up.

Now. Mitch is racing to finish sluicing sulfur, reclaim the land, then move

wash plant Roxanne to Cannon Stewards at Indian River.

All right, Mitch, that's it. Last scoop here, Roxanne.

Yep, sounds good, boss.

Mitch's crew.

work quickly to clean out the sluices.

So here at Salford, the last cleanup.

We've had a lot of gold coming out of this ground, so it's been a huge

Nick, they pack down Roxanne and get her ready to travel 25 miles down to Kenan

Stewart.

You ready for this, buddy? Yeah, man.

It's been a while since you moved to Washburn. Sad.

Well, this one's pretty good as far as moving the shaker deck, but the biggest

problem here is the sluice runs. They're so wide.

So right now, I'm going to send Jack for the shaker deck first.

We'll grab the sluice run and get them down there. Then we can put everything

together.

Roxanne is transported in two loads.

The shaker deck goes first on the back of a low boy.

Mitch holds the oversized loose runs in a second truck, and Brennan goes ahead

in the pilot car.

All right, here we go.

They're going to see us rolling with this one, that's for sure.

You know, you see just how narrow this is?

And we're already rubbing the trees here with this loose run.

So this is the million -dollar question here is if those food trucks are going

to clear that bridge without having to jack them way up.

I was wondering about that.

So the bridge is going to be one of our big pinch points.

I think it's going to be tight now. We measured it up. It looks like we should

have a half -inch of clearance, but we won't know until we get there, but we're

going to find out here real soon.

The 27 -foot -wide sluice boxes need to pass across a bridge with a width

restriction of just 21 feet.

To get the load across, the outside edges of the sluice runs need to be

the bridge structure.

I'm going to keep creeping it ahead, but you're going to need to be down here

eyeballing it and tell me when to stop if it's going to get...

Right? Yeah.

I mean, the worst case scenario here, dude, is we give this thing a try and we

get out here in the middle and we get stuck.

There's no working on it from here.

Yeah, exactly.

Okay, I'm going to do this.

Okay, you guys are going to have to get way back.

The sluice runs have a clearance of just half an inch above the bridge railing.

Keep coming, buddy.

Oh, man, it's almost dragging.

Come on, come on, come on, come on. Don't snag.

Oh.

Yeah, that couldn't have been any closer.

You couldn't have put your fingers between where we had, you know, the top

that bridge and the bottom of these loose runs here.

There it is!

We've made it into the cut.

Woo!

There it is!

Over the past eight years, Parker's leased ground at Tennant Stewart's has

delivered nearly 7 ,000 ounces of gold.

This season, he wants at least another 2 ,000 ounces from the claims.

Tennant Stewart's ground, you know, it's like not the greatest grade, and we're

paying royalties, but it's a massive block of ground that I don't want to

And, you know, it's very hard to lease ground, particularly not when the price

of gold's really good.

So I'm just heading to see Mitch and Brennan and see what they've got going

Oh, they have a wash plant running.

They literally just fired up.

Thanks for getting this thing going.

I appreciate it. She's sleuthing.

Did you guys make this look easy?

At least from my standpoint, it looked easy. I left and you were sleuthing in

one spot and I came back and you're sleuthing in another.

And yeah, Mitch, you're getting a big gold star.

I actually should have Chris for a big gold star.

I might just do that.

Well, it's really nice we had Roxanne fired up before Parker got back.

So our next step here is just to try and get this loose as fast as we can.

And we're going to try and turn all that dirt into a big pile of gold.

So today I had to call in James because there is no electrician in town that can

handle this kind of...

If he can't fix it, then pretty much we're toast.

On Indian River, Tony's main moneymaker, Slusalot, has been down for four days

after the shaker deck motor burnt out and its replacement failed.

Yeah, Tony can call me once every two years or 12 times in the same month. It

just depends on what they're wrecking that day.

Electrician James MacKrell.

has worked with mining machinery for over 30 years.

So we fired the new motor on, just, like, spin slowly, and then it's like,

And it goes into overload fault. Yeah, 22 overload fault.

Yeah, which is, I think the problem is the soft start.

What we're going to do is we're going to hard start it. We're going to bypass

it. Okay, cool. We're going to hard start it.

Lucelot's generator has a soft start system that gradually increases power to

the shaker deck's drive motor.

to prevent it from being damaged by an electrical overload when it starts.

James believes the generator's soft start safeguard is faulty and is not

supplying enough electricity, so wants to bypass it to deliver the power needed

for the motor to fire up.

This option is the, shall we say, the bush fix.

and I'll get them up and running again, and then Tony can decide if he wants to

replace that soft start or keep running this way.

Now let's give her the full deal and see what happens. All right.

That just went into overload.

The hard start fix fails.

So far, downtime has cost Tony an estimated three -quarters of a million

in lost production.

Wait a few days without it making money, though.

It's not good.

All right, let's look for better ways to do that.

The

generator's

just undersized, too.

hard start this unit without the soft start and you know what probably the

simplest solution bring over a bigger generator it's four days since tony

b's main money sluice a lot shut down electrician james has bypassed

its soft startup but still failed to fire up the shaker decks drive motor

oh that engine was just slightly bigger you get away with this with hard

starting it yeah

Well, I got bigger end boots.

And there's one sitting right here, too, an 8 -inch. And whatever it takes,

we'll get it over there.

Does that thing have a soft start?

Let's go. I don't think it does.

We'll find out.

We'll be back.

Lucillat's current generator has a maximum power of 100 kilowatts.

So we have this one.

And this.

Something at least makes noise.

Tony's cat, 3406 replacement, kicked out four times more power.

Instead of taking it off, we're going to weld the thing on.

Because you've got the fuel tank, you've got everything grouped up. So weld it

back on, take two minutes.

Drive it over there, stick the wire in the gen set, then we're rolling.

To prep the five -ton generator, Tony plans to weld it to the front of his 50

-year -old pipe layer and drive the hybrid monster one mile to Sluselon.

for four days, so that's a lot of ounces we're missing. And with the gold price

these days, that's a lot of money.

Everything's all connected, waiting on a generator.

And then we'll make power.

All we have to do when it gets here is just connect that cable into the

generator. Is he driving that thing down?

I don't know. If he's the one driving it, it probably won't take too long.

After just 30 minutes, Tony's mobilized monster generator

arrives at Blue Salon.

It doesn't matter what it looks, it doesn't matter what it takes.

It's what you improvised and anything to get back up and going, right?

They're all hooked up and ready to roll.

After four days shut down, Tony is back on the gold.

Tony's watching rocks, and he's happy.

He puts gold in the box, and then he can give it to me.

It's all good. We're back to sleuthing, making some money, I suppose. If you

can't make up for lost time, at least we're back running. That's the most

important thing.

Shut down Lightning Creek. We'll move back to Vegas Valley.

Sounds good to me, man.

Yeah, we're just about to send the last flow to pay over to Rocky.

Rick made a call saying that we're all going to be done here, and we're going

head down to Vegas Valley and start hitting our heart down there.

Well, here it is. We've got the final bucket of dirt from Lightning Creek, and

we are officially finished here.

Off to Vegas Valley we go.

Rick Ness is changing gears. After running a final couple of days pay, he's

shutting down his Lightning Creek claim and going all in on Vegas Valley.

All right, we've got the 460 down here now.

Game plan is we'll be getting this water pump in Vegas Valley. We'll go through

it, make sure it's good to go.

Then we'll get our discharge line ran. So that's quite a bit of work to do.

Rick's plan?

Set up a pump to drain the 30 feet of water from the cut while the rest of the

team moves equipment and preps wash plant Monster Red to run a stockpile of

dirt.

Well? We got a long ways to go, but we should be spending the rest of the

here. So, pump's just about ready. I think the first step is just getting it

where it fits in. Get that water getting out of there.

We'll get on it. I like it.

What you

doing? We ready?

We got our 12 -inch pump ready to go. She's a monster.

Just got to get down here around the corner, get the line hooked up, and we

start dewatering Vegas Valley. It's a big step.

Get this one step closer to the goal that's in Vegas Valley.

And we know that goal's good, so we're going to get this done and get it done

a hurry.

That's all shallow. You're going to have to try to get it in that corner.

Where? Like all the way out?

I think we just try to go all the way and see how tough it is.

We've got sections in here that are way deeper than what you think. Right here,

it's probably going to be 30 foot higher than what we have in that corner right

there from ending last season, if not more. So we've got to be careful.

The $100 ,000 pump can move 5 ,000 gallons a minute and will drain Vegas

down to gold -rich pay in three days.

Yeah, we can go forward a little bit.

We're good right there?

So we got the pump into place. Now just bring the intake line down there.

We're going to attach that to the pump.

Throw the suction end in to the water. Then we'll come back and get the

discharge line.

Set that in there.

And after that, we just turn it on and let the water get out of our hole.

It's at a step angle.

And we're in a spot where we're easily going to... Bend this thing.

And it's like I can't throw that end out there first. I don't know where it's

going to end. Yeah.

Here, I think if you bring it in and lower it, the two of us can be lifting

Kyle can be sticking the bolt in. You got a pinch bar or anything to get it?

No, but I've got some long bolts. We'll make it work. Okay.

To attach the suction hose to the pump, Rick needs to move his 460 excavator

dangerously close to the water's end.

I don't know what's going to make me.

Is that thing a little heavy for that?

Okay. All right, right there.

Now he's going down.

Hey, hold on.

Got it.

All right. All right.

Pump connected. Rick is one step closer to getting gold from Vegas

Valley. All right. You want to fire this thing up? Okay.

Well, there she goes.

Whoa!

Now we got some water moving.

We are pumping water, boys.

All this water's coming out of Vegas Valley. Gives us that much closer to the

gold down there.

Ready to see some.

I'm nervous about lightning creep.

Hopefully it's got gold in it. We'll try it.

I'm relieved that we're moving back here.

We've got one last chance here at Vegas Valley. We've got to treat it like the

last chance again.

We've got until November on our extension, and we're going to scrape it

get everything we can out of it.

All the gold.

All eyes are on Heather Folster to see if Lightning Creek's last gold way will

hit the 100 ounces Rick needs to pay Troy Taylor.

Do you want to give that a swirl? That's the first to the first.

That's a lot of gold. That's a lot better than it was.

That's another drop in the bucket towards 1 ,800 ounces.

It might get us to where I can pay Troy.

Ew!

Well, Heather got done cleaning up the gold from the last run at Lightning

Creek.

She said it actually looked pretty good. I can definitely tell it was enough to

justify staying there for another run, so I'm happy about that.

Rick Ness has hit pause on his Lightning Creek claim to pursue Vegas Valley, but

he still needs to see it deliver good gold to prove it's a viable spot.

Based on the run time, he's hoping for at least 50 ounces this week.

Think the ground looked any better? Lightning Creek on this last run? Yeah,

definitely seemed a little bit better than the normal stuff. Less bedrock,

hay. The boulders are getting a little bigger. Yeah, yeah.

So I take it the 700's dead?

The 700, we thought we pinpointed the problem. We saw it failed, so I think

we're in deeper.

We're going to be into a head or worse.

That leaves basically just the 750.

Kenny! Hello.

What's going on?

Ah, you know, all the best stuff.

Got a bottle of gold, though.

Let's see what we got, man. Yep.

Last week.

The boulder cut only delivered 22 ounces.

Here we go.

1, 5, 12, 20,

30, 50,

50 .4.

That's not bad.

Yeah, that's way better than last time. Both two combined.

Right, you're moving the right way.

It's Rick's best gold way of the season and pushes his total to 80 ounces, but

leaves him 20 ounces short of what he owes Troy Taylor.

I mean, at the end of the day, that's damn near 150 grand.

So, happy we stayed there, but we're going to be leaving Lightning Creek. You

know, we're leaving it behind for the season. It's just going to have to

right? Like, for the foreseeable future. I mean, at least some gold's there,

though. Yeah, you're leaving it on a high note. Exactly. We're leaving it

positive, and, you know, we put some gold towards our total, and we still

long ways to go, but... You only need a little bit more to pay off Troy.

Yeah. But it's in the pile, I'd make it sound like. We know that.

Yeah, man. Let's do it. Awesome.

Well, you know, we got 50 ounces of gold this week. It's a small dent in the

total we're trying to get, 1 ,800 ounces, but that's why we're doing what

going to do, right? We're putting all of our resources into Vegas Valley because

that's where we know the gold is. It sucks to leave Lightning Creek. We're

getting to learn it, and we got 50 ounces of gold out of it, but that's the

of the game. You go where the gold is, and the gold's in Vegas Valley this

Hi, guys. Howdy, folks. Hola. Hello.

How's Harold making out?

Well, he's still sluicing. How's he going with the throttle?

Slowly, because every time I seem to take one step forward, I find three

things I have to fix, but that's three steps back.

So pretty slow, pretty slow?

Yeah. So how are things here?

We sluice a bit, but not as much as we like to. We have some electrical issues,

so we had to get an electrician. We had to wait for that.

We can fix things, but electricity is not our thing, so.

How many days did you really sluice?

So we sluiced two days and two nights.

Yeah, well.

It's all not too bad, though. Yeah, you can't win every day.

No. Can we weigh it up?

So far, Tony has averaged 330 ounces of gold per week from the Indian River.

Okay, four.

10, 20, 30.

40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110,

120, 121 .10.

Worth $420 ,000, but much less than he could have gotten if

they'd run all week.

Ready to count, Mike?

Mike's been sluicing old -timer tailings at the hill, and it should deliver 50

ounces a week.

10, 20, 36 .88.

How much time was that, Mike?

Probably around about five days.

That's not very good, is it? No.

Even though Mike's gold is worth over $100 ,000, Tony wants a record -breaking

season. And that means Paradise Hill needs to deliver much bigger hauls.

So then I think Mike just shut the thing off and concentrate on the trommel.

Yeah, I agree.

Then maybe you can start bringing in some real gold.

Well, of course it's going to make a hell of a difference.

No, it does. It's like not rerun tailing. Yeah.

Concentrate on the trommel. Set the thing off.

Sounds like a plan, dude.

So when do you guys get out and go back to work? Okay, bye.

Bye.

Those fires were impressive.

Yeah, that was crazy. It came out of nowhere, and all of a sudden it's like,

man, it's really cloudy this morning.

It's not clouds, that's smoke.

It's smoky enough around here I'd skip my breakfast cigar.

Yeah, and then we had...

Even with all the fires giving us grief, we did manage to get the last of us

leased. You want to see how you guys finished up? Let's do it.

Despite battling wildfires, Mitch still managed to wash the last of the gold

-rich sulfur pay, which last week delivered 302 ounces.

That's the last of sulfur?

Yes. Let's do it.

All right, we got 50,

100.

150, 200,

221 .2.

Nice. That's a solid end. Yeah. Sulfur produced over 1 ,300 ounces.

Quite impressive.

Yeah. Next up, Parker's Dominion Creek Gold.

First, the Golden Mile Cut, which is averaged 200 ounces a week.

20, 40.

120, 140, 160, 200, 230, 250,

273 .15.

Wow. That was a good week.

And then Bob has just been chugging away.

Yeah. Old faithful.

Bob in the bridge cut has averaged 160 ounces a week.

20. 40, 80, 100, 120, 140,

160, 200, 212, 216 .15.

That's a good week.

Super good.

This week we have 710 .5.

We broke 700 ounces in one week.

Worth $2 .5 million.

So our total for the season is 4 ,251 .7 ounces.

We're definitely on track for our 10 ,000.

We're in good shape, you guys. Keep it that way.

I hope you go and make some more.

Thanks, Kyle. You bet.

See you in a minute. You're good, Craig? Yep, I'm good.

See you, dude.

Well, it's so cool to get sulfur done.

Great project there. Produced a lot of gold.

It was definitely a tricky move there, but Roxanne is down on a whole bunch of

ground at Ken.

Excited to see what it has to produce.
