1
00:00:06,530 --> 00:00:11,110
(Transcrito por TurboScribe.ai. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) There's a secret war going on in the outback town of Claremont.
2
00:00:14,430 --> 00:00:18,750
The gold here is so good and the value of gold now is so high.
3
00:00:19,370 --> 00:00:20,270
Look at that.
4
00:00:20,530 --> 00:00:22,250
Dog eat dog, the wars are on.
5
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:25,070
Boy, are you entertaining this idiot.
6
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:28,110
I was a bit pissed off when Donnie came in.
7
00:00:28,850 --> 00:00:29,690
How do I turn?
8
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:31,490
Three mining teams.
9
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:35,790
He has a load of money into the mine so we have to make it work.
10
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:39,470
Fighting it out on the one patch of land.
11
00:00:39,910 --> 00:00:42,830
This is just some of the stuff Donnie's been walking over.
12
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:46,550
Guys, be lucky if I don't walk over his big nose.
13
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:48,030
This time.
14
00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:48,970
You ready Kimbo?
15
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:50,490
Learn how to drive this thing.
16
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:55,030
Dan throws Kimberley into the deep end with mixed results.
17
00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:56,550
What am I doing?
18
00:00:57,170 --> 00:00:58,930
That area there man, that's where I'm going.
19
00:00:59,690 --> 00:01:03,750
Dennis and Donnie hatch an audacious plan to peg new ground.
20
00:01:04,650 --> 00:01:07,050
If these guys cause up me, I'll be pissed.
21
00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:08,990
And send Lee packing.
22
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:12,070
Sick of diving into my own pockets to pay for everything.
23
00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:17,130
And Richie's bizarre Gold Coast gold digger.
24
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:20,730
We've scanned a lot of weird and wonderful things in our scanner but never a gold nugget.
25
00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:24,170
To supercharge team 1870's operation.
26
00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:25,730
The 24 grand ain't going to cut it.
27
00:01:25,930 --> 00:01:28,150
That's my absolute last and final offer.
28
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:55,430
At 1870, Dan and wife Kira are prepping their dry blower for a day of processing work.
29
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:57,390
Put these on, we can fire it up.
30
00:01:58,090 --> 00:02:00,550
So she's probably the best we've ever worked together.
31
00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:02,730
A day still young.
32
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:08,009
The dry blower's already delivered four ounces of gold.
33
00:02:08,830 --> 00:02:12,950
Conveyor's running true, so we should be kicking ass today.
34
00:02:13,810 --> 00:02:17,130
Let's just get this up and running, get some dirt through it.
35
00:02:17,210 --> 00:02:19,230
And at the end of the day, let's see the gold coming out.
36
00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:22,830
Dan now needs to bring the wash plant online.
37
00:02:22,990 --> 00:02:26,550
And then get the two machines working together in tandem.
38
00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:31,730
Their $500,000 season target depends on it.
39
00:02:32,370 --> 00:02:34,670
We're already weeks behind where we need to be.
40
00:02:36,310 --> 00:02:39,730
So you girls and me are going to have to step up.
41
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:42,870
But upscaling a mine costs money.
42
00:02:43,370 --> 00:02:45,510
And they now need a new generator.
43
00:02:47,590 --> 00:02:48,610
Cue Richie.
44
00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:51,650
So Richie's gone back to the Gold Coast to go sell some gold.
45
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:54,550
We need a generator, we need one for the wash plant.
46
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:58,130
Richie's on the hunt for $30,000 cash.
47
00:02:58,550 --> 00:03:04,770
He's hoping one of his rich Gold Coast mates will step up and buy an 1870 nugget off him.
48
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:08,110
Richie's gone to sell some gold so we can keep going.
49
00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:09,870
Buy some more generators to keep it going.
50
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:14,050
Yeah, so Ciara and I are going to burn the tools today.
51
00:03:14,890 --> 00:03:19,670
I'm going to give yourself and Kimberley a crash course on how to use a loader.
52
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:24,270
That way Braden and myself can get back up and keep continuing with the wash plant.
53
00:03:24,950 --> 00:03:27,070
It's been the slowest start to the season.
54
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:30,030
But seeing that gold come in, I think we're on the right track.
55
00:03:30,150 --> 00:03:32,950
We can still do this, as long as there's no more breakdowns.
56
00:03:32,950 --> 00:03:37,650
So now that we've got all the ground loosened up over here for the loader to pick up,
57
00:03:37,810 --> 00:03:40,750
you girls are just going to dump the dirt up into the bin.
58
00:03:41,130 --> 00:03:44,110
All the gold will get caught up in these riffles here.
59
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:49,350
All the lighter material will come off the end of the conveyor and go straight into our tailings.
60
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:53,370
So how much gold do you think Ciara and I are going to get today running all this?
61
00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:55,790
Look, I'd like to see close to an ounce at the end of today.
62
00:03:56,370 --> 00:03:56,870
We'll do two.
63
00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:01,630
Dan and Richie sacked all their contractors.
64
00:04:02,530 --> 00:04:05,410
1870 is now a full-on family affair.
65
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:09,570
So I've been thrown out here. Clearly my nails weren't built for mining.
66
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:11,550
I don't know how this is going to go.
67
00:04:12,050 --> 00:04:18,730
Only time will tell if Dan's bunch of mining misfits can actually do the job and turn a profit.
68
00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:20,870
You ready Kimberley?
69
00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:22,930
Learn how to drive this thing.
70
00:04:24,970 --> 00:04:26,750
So there is a seatbelt as well.
71
00:04:27,190 --> 00:04:28,650
What do you think I'm going to do? Burnouts?
72
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:30,930
It's going to be a lot of new things on my resume.
73
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:32,470
Okay.
74
00:04:33,170 --> 00:04:34,230
Go, run me over.
75
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:36,290
Is this scary?
76
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:39,550
I think the girls have got potential.
77
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:41,450
Oh my god.
78
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:43,210
It's a race. Go, go, go.
79
00:04:44,030 --> 00:04:44,290
No?
80
00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:48,070
Oh, I've got to put it in drive.
81
00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:49,470
There we go.
82
00:04:54,050 --> 00:04:57,470
At the end of the day, something is better than nothing.
83
00:04:58,630 --> 00:04:59,190
Okay.
84
00:04:59,830 --> 00:05:00,170
Okay.
85
00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:02,550
Lower the whole bucket down.
86
00:05:05,210 --> 00:05:05,610
Jesus.
87
00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:06,270
Keep it going.
88
00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:09,270
Okay, yep. Now drive forward.
89
00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:10,210
Oh my gosh.
90
00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:13,310
I feel a bit different to driving my car at home.
91
00:05:15,470 --> 00:05:16,370
Keep it going.
92
00:05:17,890 --> 00:05:21,150
Now start to curl the bucket so you control towards you.
93
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:23,310
Keep it going.
94
00:05:25,290 --> 00:05:25,950
Keep it going.
95
00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:27,530
Perfect.
96
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,180
That's pretty good for a person who's never operated a machine in her life,
97
00:05:55,780 --> 00:05:56,960
other than a Mercedes-Benz.
98
00:05:57,820 --> 00:05:58,420
Awesome.
99
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,180
The drive blower uses air and vibration to separate the gold from the dirt.
100
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,440
Kimberly needs to carefully feed the hopper bin
101
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,200
without overloading the riffle trays underneath,
102
00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:18,780
or the whole thing will jam up and grind to a halt.
103
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,460
Okay, that's it.
104
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,180
There's a lot into it to get it running right.
105
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:30,000
The riffle trays, if they're not on the right angle, you lose gold.
106
00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:33,520
The feed rate, if it's not right, you lose gold.
107
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:44,820
I'm just trying to get Kira to keep an eye on how much dirt's going through
108
00:06:44,820 --> 00:06:47,940
to make sure that the hopper bin's aren't getting overpulled.
109
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,780
Dan needs Kira and Kimberly to operate independently,
110
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:53,620
without his supervision.
111
00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:54,300
Oh, my God.
112
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:58,880
He needs to get back to assembling the wash plate.
113
00:06:59,620 --> 00:07:00,740
I'll let you take the reins.
114
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,620
You give her a full guide now on how to get the dirt and dumping.
115
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Good luck, guys.
116
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,640
I'm fairly confident these girls can figure the machines out.
117
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,360
I'm going to shoot off and get my day underway.
118
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:27,080
At Scratchy Moon, Damo and Lee are making progress mining the megapit.
119
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:31,640
This big pile here is the pile of spoil,
120
00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:34,300
which is everything that's come out of the top six metres.
121
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,240
As much as you want to get all the gold out with the detector,
122
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,660
obviously, when you're moving so much ground,
123
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,380
peel up nuggets in the slate and we spread it out, redetect it,
124
00:07:46,740 --> 00:07:48,120
you get a lot more gold out of that.
125
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,860
Mine owners Damo and Matt have quietly been raking in the gold.
126
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:58,300
They're at $275,000 for the season.
127
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,300
I think we'll get 100 ounces pretty easy.
128
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:02,000
I want to say pretty easy.
129
00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:03,660
It's bloody hard work.
130
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,580
But I don't see anything stopping us from getting there
131
00:08:06,580 --> 00:08:07,720
based on our trajectory now.
132
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,520
Show us what you're made of.
133
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,260
And then there's Lee, hovering in the winds
134
00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:16,920
with big promises to buy some land off them.
135
00:08:17,620 --> 00:08:20,000
So, working with the boys here and seeing the gold,
136
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,740
there's good volumes of gold.
137
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:24,620
I'm confident enough to want to do a deal.
138
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,760
You see, we don't even have to have our picks with us in this stuff.
139
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:30,780
This is where scratching truly comes to life
140
00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:34,059
because I can just scratch my heart's content like a chicken.
141
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:35,460
Oh, here we go.
142
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,960
But Lee's in the middle of a divorce.
143
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,919
Getting hold of funds to pay for the land
144
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:44,220
is proving more difficult than he imagined.
145
00:08:44,980 --> 00:08:47,240
So, for me to get this coin together,
146
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:51,220
I need to settle with X, get that money through,
147
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:55,060
free my cash up to pay these boys, get it done.
148
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,680
Gold!
149
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,360
Oh, yeah, that'll be a good one.
150
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000
It's pretty robust. See, it's got some chunk to it.
151
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,920
So, that'll be... It's probably a .4 there.
152
00:09:05,780 --> 00:09:06,760
And there'll be plenty...
153
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,140
You can do that all afternoon on this.
154
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,440
Got a bit of a wobble there, look.
155
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,640
At Swiss Diggings, Lee's ex-business partner, Donnie,
156
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:28,780
and his new boss, Dennis, are on fire.
157
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:32,520
They're well over a third of the way towards their season target.
158
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,540
We've got a good colour here.
159
00:09:35,020 --> 00:09:38,180
Yeah, I reckon she's going to drop off through here.
160
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,460
It was a masterstroke by Dennis to take on Donnie
161
00:09:42,460 --> 00:09:45,960
at a time when no-one wanted anything to do with him.
162
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:47,580
Me and Donnie have been working all right.
163
00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:48,620
We've been going well together.
164
00:09:48,620 --> 00:09:52,360
Donnie's provided enough evidence that he can do what he can do.
165
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,640
Donnie's the secret sauce Dennis has been waiting for
166
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,040
to take his operation to the next level.
167
00:09:59,540 --> 00:10:01,780
Dennis needs to keep him onside.
168
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,180
I've pulled up a GRS here.
169
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,200
I'm having a look round at different grounds
170
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,360
to see where we can actually pop a new leasing for us.
171
00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:11,160
Serious? Yeah. Definitely serious.
172
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:15,980
Well, definitely serious. Thanks, mate. Thanks.
173
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,300
I honestly think he needs to be on his own lease,
174
00:10:19,340 --> 00:10:22,560
so I've thrown the option out there to peg a lease together.
175
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,020
With a bit of luck, he'll end up owning it,
176
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:28,700
and that's the ultimate goal.
177
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,180
Dennis giving me a chance
178
00:10:31,180 --> 00:10:34,440
has really given me the go-ahead to set up for myself.
179
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,640
That's what I've always wanted.
180
00:10:36,980 --> 00:10:38,040
What do you reckon is good ground?
181
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:40,980
I know there's good ground behind 1870 there.
182
00:10:41,420 --> 00:10:45,100
So we've got good gold coming through this valley system
183
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,780
and running into 1870 there.
184
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:47,820
Right through.
185
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,140
Yeah, that is good, rich ground.
186
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,420
And who owns this EPM around Scratchymoot?
187
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,000
That's Matten Damage. That is Matten Damage.
188
00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:58,280
That area there, man, that's where I'll be going.
189
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,680
The land they're looking to peg
190
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,580
is the exact same parcel of land that Lee,
191
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,980
Donnie's old business partner, is trying to buy.
192
00:11:07,780 --> 00:11:09,540
Dennis's audacious plan
193
00:11:09,540 --> 00:11:10,880
will put Donnie and Lee
194
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,300
on a direct collision course with each other.
195
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,160
There's not much ground left out there, mate,
196
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,900
so this is an opportunity I think
197
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:19,240
that we probably need to start capitalising on.
198
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,600
I'm here on the Gold Coast,
199
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,060
so I can sell one of these nuggets we've got.
200
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,260
Richie's back in his hometown,
201
00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:36,180
hoping to sell a showpiece nugget
202
00:11:36,180 --> 00:11:38,460
to one of his cashed-up socialite mates.
203
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,660
I've got a mate who's a doctor here on the coast.
204
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,120
He owns one of the biggest radiology companies,
205
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,840
one of the latest and greatest bells and whistles,
206
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:49,960
who has expressed interest in buying some gold.
207
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,640
If he does, then I can afford to buy this generator I'm eyeing off.
208
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,500
Selling gold before the season's end
209
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,460
was never meant to be part of the plan.
210
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:04,980
But cost blowouts and machine breakdowns
211
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:06,760
have left Richie out of pocket.
212
00:12:07,540 --> 00:12:09,320
The upsetting part for me is he's selling
213
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,040
one of the biggest nuggets I've ever found.
214
00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:13,180
When I dug that nugget out of the ground,
215
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,340
it was just a special moment.
216
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,840
They're hard to come by, that size.
217
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:21,440
Still one of the biggest nuggets I've ever found.
218
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,080
So I'm hoping he gets what I've told him to get.
219
00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:27,460
Dan's nugget weighs 144g,
220
00:12:27,940 --> 00:12:29,900
just under 5oz.
221
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,060
At today's gold price, that's around $28,000.
222
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,500
But nuggets this size are extremely rare
223
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,260
and can command a premium.
224
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:42,500
Dan has instructed Richie not to sell the nugget
225
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,100
for anything less than $30,000.
226
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:48,720
I'm sick of diving into my own pockets to pay for everything.
227
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,580
Now the mine can start paying for itself.
228
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:54,980
Knock, knock.
229
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,080
Come on in.
230
00:12:56,420 --> 00:12:56,620
Buddy.
231
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,620
How are you, mate?
232
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,560
How are you going?
233
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:00,200
I brought you a present.
234
00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:03,040
Ka-ching.
235
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:04,780
Holy cow.
236
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,100
That is quite a nugget.
237
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,300
It's bloody heavy, isn't it?
238
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:10,080
That's the biggest one we've found so far.
239
00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:12,680
Well, since I've taken over the mine anyway.
240
00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:13,620
It's got a bit of weight to it.
241
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:14,200
It has.
242
00:13:16,540 --> 00:13:17,580
144.35.
243
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,260
Wow.
244
00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:20,220
So how pure is this rock?
245
00:13:21,020 --> 00:13:23,800
Well, Claremont has got literally one of Australia's
246
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,760
most pure quality nuggets
247
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,660
at 97% to 99% pure gold.
248
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,880
The average in Australia is between 92% to 98%.
249
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,040
So Claremont gold's one of my sought-after golds,
250
00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:36,720
especially the nuggets.
251
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:37,520
They're super rare.
252
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,140
It's clear that Gus really wants this nugget.
253
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:41,960
I've just got to get him across the line.
254
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,000
I need to get some cash flow going
255
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,120
so I can buy this generator.
256
00:13:49,940 --> 00:13:50,860
How are you going, mate?
257
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:51,820
Yeah, good.
258
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Pretty close?
259
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,300
Yeah, I'm just double-checking on the measurements.
260
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,700
Back at 1870,
261
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:00,520
Dan and son Braden are hard at it
262
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,500
trying to assemble the new wash plant.
263
00:14:03,420 --> 00:14:05,560
So now the girls are up and running with the dry blower.
264
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,860
That frees me up.
265
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,100
I can be up here with Braden
266
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:10,380
putting together some machinery.
267
00:14:11,420 --> 00:14:14,860
So this is going to be one of our feed conveyors.
268
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,500
We've just assembled it.
269
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,940
So now we just want to make sure it doesn't track to one side
270
00:14:19,940 --> 00:14:24,580
because if it does do that and it starts hitting the framework,
271
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:26,680
well, we're going to destroy a belt fairly quick
272
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,220
and at this point in time, I don't want any more delays.
273
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,580
But Dan's decision to leave Kira and Kimberly unsupervised
274
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:37,580
might not have been a wise one.
275
00:14:37,820 --> 00:14:39,800
All right, start tilting it back.
276
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,980
All right, sorry, not going back.
277
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,220
You've got to tilt the... Oh, yeah.
278
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:47,660
Oh, my God. OK.
279
00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:50,440
Oh, my God.
280
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,100
Oh!
281
00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:53,760
What am I doing?
282
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,200
Oh!
283
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,340
That wasn't meant to happen.
284
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,100
Definitely the front-end loader
285
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:01,740
doesn't compare to driving Mercedes.
286
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,160
A little bit bumpy.
287
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:05,080
A little rough.
288
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:05,840
Hey!
289
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:09,460
It's definitely not a Mercedes.
290
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,940
I don't judge a book by its cover,
291
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,500
but I genuinely did not think that that girl was going to do any good.
292
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:22,280
Whoa!
293
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:24,360
You all right?
294
00:15:26,260 --> 00:15:27,160
A lot better bits.
295
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:29,980
But from the outset, I didn't think she was going to do well.
296
00:15:30,540 --> 00:15:32,140
Slow and steady wins the race.
297
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:34,020
I'm trying to find myself driving.
298
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,220
She got in there, and I was very, very impressed.
299
00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:41,880
That's perfect.
300
00:15:42,660 --> 00:15:44,100
Don't tell her I said that, OK?
301
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,580
Yeah.
302
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,640
OK.
303
00:15:47,460 --> 00:15:48,180
Throttle up.
304
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:50,680
Whoa!
305
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,520
What Team 1870 lacks in experience,
306
00:15:57,660 --> 00:16:01,620
they more than make up for in have-a-go true grit.
307
00:16:02,140 --> 00:16:03,980
I don't like getting too close to these things.
308
00:16:06,020 --> 00:16:06,740
Is that good?
309
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:12,380
Everyone here has a lot to lose if they don't get it right.
310
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:14,860
We have put everything on the line.
311
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,160
So much work, so much effort.
312
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,240
Richie's pumped in so much money.
313
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:21,840
But we're finally there.
314
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,780
Like, we can actually give it a crack.
315
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:25,960
OK, that's it.
316
00:16:28,460 --> 00:16:31,700
Loading the driveway is a delicate operation.
317
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:34,120
I think I'm getting the hang of this now.
318
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,420
Kimball is a fast learner.
319
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,140
The question is, does she know when to stop?
320
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,180
Go, go, go!
321
00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:44,540
Stop.
322
00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:48,280
Stop, stop!
323
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:50,860
It's not easy!
324
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Stop!
325
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:53,780
What's happened?
326
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,440
Something's happened to the driveway.
327
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Yeah, it's like the pot rivet or something there.
328
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:03,180
That's not good.
329
00:17:03,420 --> 00:17:07,119
So I've had a little standstill, so this gets fixed, I guess.
330
00:17:14,619 --> 00:17:16,400
The town of Claremont.
331
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,800
And Donnie's stocking up on supplies for Swiss diggings.
332
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,760
Hey, Dennis, what's going on?
333
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:27,760
Mate, I've had a bail.
334
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,760
You've had a bail?
335
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:31,780
Yeah, mate, yeah, yeah.
336
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,580
I've had to go back to the coast.
337
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,200
Oh, serious?
338
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,820
Yeah, this container's arrived with this excavator in it,
339
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:41,600
so I've had to come home and get that sorted out, mate.
340
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,880
So I've had to bail.
341
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:48,480
I had an excavator that I designed and had built in China.
342
00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:50,560
A freight company told me it was coming in,
343
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,500
and so I had a 48-hour window to get it out of the box.
344
00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:57,180
The time was just the worst that could ever possibly happen.
345
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,800
Interestingly enough,
346
00:17:58,860 --> 00:18:02,280
I've had an email from Damien over at Scratchies.
347
00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:02,820
Yeah?
348
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,180
Apparently, Leach McGrub is looking at the same ground
349
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:08,080
that we were sort of thinking about digging out.
350
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:09,820
Leach McGrub.
351
00:18:11,620 --> 00:18:13,440
From that email, what he's saying is
352
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,480
Leach McGrub is there, mate, to make a deal.
353
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,740
It's just like a bad déjà vu with that bloke Ferdinand.
354
00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:24,180
I just can't seem to get away from this one.
355
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,540
Whatever Donnie's feelings towards his old business partner are,
356
00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:33,100
Leach was the first one in to make an offer.
357
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:37,700
But he's struggling to get hold of enough cash to ink a deal,
358
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:41,620
and that could give Dennis and Donnie the opening they need.
359
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:43,920
I'd rather do this myself,
360
00:18:44,060 --> 00:18:46,220
but I don't think we've actually got any other option, mate.
361
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,040
I'm going to need you to hop foot over there, over to Scratchies.
362
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,700
Today? This morning?
363
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,860
Yeah, this morning, mate.
364
00:18:51,860 --> 00:18:53,560
I don't think we've got any time to waste.
365
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,520
We've only chance to put the cat amongst the pigeons,
366
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,320
with McGrub, right now.
367
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,700
Donnie, he is not the person that I would normally send in to do this,
368
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:04,780
especially with his baggage relief.
369
00:19:05,620 --> 00:19:07,300
But we had no other choice.
370
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:10,060
You've got to be cool, calm and collective, mate.
371
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,440
You know me, I'm always cool, calm and collective.
372
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,320
I don't have an awful lot of time.
373
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:19,840
They're probably getting offers at 100 to 1.
374
00:19:19,940 --> 00:19:21,320
So I'm coming after him.
375
00:19:22,260 --> 00:19:25,300
So what do you want me to talk to Damo and Matty about?
376
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,420
How do you want me to approach this?
377
00:19:28,140 --> 00:19:30,380
So Matt and Damo, they want 100% up front,
378
00:19:30,660 --> 00:19:32,760
and that's before the lease even goes through.
379
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,860
It just doesn't make any business sense to me.
380
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,820
I'd rather be 50% up front,
381
00:19:38,980 --> 00:19:42,560
50% on completion or signing for the lease.
382
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:44,340
Yeah, right.
383
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:47,800
Mining leases can take up to three years
384
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,480
to get approved by the mines department,
385
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,340
and there's no guarantees they will even go through.
386
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,180
Paying 100% up front
387
00:19:56,180 --> 00:19:59,380
puts the financial risk squarely on the buyer.
388
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:03,500
And I think probably because of the grubs in there,
389
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,040
they could probably start playing hardball with us as well.
390
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,080
So let's go and see what they've got in the terms
391
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,420
and we go from there, eh?
392
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:14,360
I ain't going anywhere seeing that.
393
00:20:15,620 --> 00:20:17,660
Well, look, at the end of the day,
394
00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:20,740
I think you've got to put your business head on your shoulders, mate,
395
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,160
and you've just got to do what you've got to do.
396
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,040
Talking business is not my forte.
397
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:29,360
All I can really do is go out there and tell them that we want it
398
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:32,140
and we're interested, and I would suggest to Lee
399
00:20:32,140 --> 00:20:34,840
he really stay out of my way.
400
00:20:40,210 --> 00:20:41,230
Took you long enough.
401
00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:43,410
Been having a beer.
402
00:20:44,210 --> 00:20:44,750
I wish.
403
00:20:45,770 --> 00:20:48,430
At 1870, production has stalled.
404
00:20:48,430 --> 00:20:52,310
One of the ripple trays on the dry blower has come loose.
405
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:54,210
It's not one thing, it's another, eh?
406
00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:55,150
It's always something.
407
00:20:55,630 --> 00:20:59,790
The machine's vibration has caused a rivet to pop and break.
408
00:21:00,110 --> 00:21:04,770
You can see how violent the vibrator on this is working, you know,
409
00:21:04,810 --> 00:21:07,210
and anything that moves is always going to wear.
410
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:10,670
Something so basic, a 5-cent pop rivet,
411
00:21:10,830 --> 00:21:13,190
snapped, stops operation.
412
00:21:13,910 --> 00:21:15,850
I'm hoping this is the last time this breaks.
413
00:21:16,930 --> 00:21:19,250
I've just got too much to do, you know.
414
00:21:19,870 --> 00:21:21,830
One step forward, three steps back.
415
00:21:22,190 --> 00:21:24,170
So you girls are right to go, you know?
416
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:25,490
Yep. Good.
417
00:21:25,890 --> 00:21:29,810
And that's been kicking our ass since the beginning of the season.
418
00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:35,730
On the Gold Coast,
419
00:21:36,590 --> 00:21:39,390
Richie's idea to sell some gold to an old mate,
420
00:21:39,790 --> 00:21:43,450
who happens to be a doctor, has taken a bizarre twist.
421
00:21:43,450 --> 00:21:46,550
We've scanned a lot of weird and wonderful things in our scanner,
422
00:21:46,670 --> 00:21:47,730
but never a gold nugget.
423
00:21:48,130 --> 00:21:51,750
So Gus has got the technology for me to prove to him
424
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:52,970
how pure this nugget is.
425
00:21:53,210 --> 00:21:53,890
So why not?
426
00:21:54,910 --> 00:21:59,490
So basically just taking some pictures of that nugget and...
427
00:21:59,490 --> 00:22:00,270
There you go.
428
00:22:00,450 --> 00:22:02,150
Look at that.
429
00:22:03,150 --> 00:22:05,210
There's method to Gus's madness.
430
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:09,250
The CT scan has put a spotlight on the nugget's impurities,
431
00:22:09,850 --> 00:22:12,350
and that plays into his hands.
432
00:22:12,350 --> 00:22:13,930
What are these little spots here?
433
00:22:14,510 --> 00:22:17,650
I admit, they look like little bits of quartz,
434
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:20,430
but there's one, two, three, four little bits of quartz,
435
00:22:20,510 --> 00:22:23,030
and they'd be not even the size of a match head.
436
00:22:23,770 --> 00:22:25,070
Yeah, that's typical Gus.
437
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:27,990
He's trying to get a good deal, but he's not going to get mates' rates.
438
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:30,990
So it's not exactly pure if there's bits of quartz in there.
439
00:22:31,890 --> 00:22:33,710
Yeah, I can already tell where this is heading.
440
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:36,110
That'd be at least 97%, 98% pure.
441
00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:37,970
You're a doctor that's trying to stitch me up.
442
00:22:37,970 --> 00:22:40,030
We'll disagree on 96% and move on.
443
00:22:48,390 --> 00:22:50,370
Donnie is heading to Scratchy Moon
444
00:22:50,370 --> 00:22:54,590
to begin negotiations with Matt and Damon for their parcel of land.
445
00:22:56,690 --> 00:22:58,630
Oh, I hate doing this.
446
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:00,310
This is Dennis' job, man.
447
00:23:00,670 --> 00:23:05,750
The last thing I want to do is come anywhere near this leech of a person.
448
00:23:07,570 --> 00:23:12,130
The land Dennis and Donnie want is the same land Lee wants to buy.
449
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:15,330
Lee thinks he has the deal in the bag.
450
00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:17,950
But he doesn't have the cash.
451
00:23:31,630 --> 00:23:34,090
Donnie needs to keep a cool head.
452
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:36,510
The last time he came face-to-face with Lee
453
00:23:36,510 --> 00:23:39,270
is a lesson in what not to do.
454
00:23:40,030 --> 00:23:41,510
You've ripped me off since day dot.
455
00:23:41,610 --> 00:23:42,990
This is meant to be a partnership.
456
00:23:42,990 --> 00:23:44,590
What did I ever get out of it?
457
00:23:44,910 --> 00:23:47,170
You got free labour for two years.
458
00:23:47,230 --> 00:23:47,930
That's what you got.
459
00:23:48,030 --> 00:23:48,590
The gold.
460
00:23:48,730 --> 00:23:49,430
What gold?
461
00:23:49,690 --> 00:23:51,710
With the gold we paid for it.
462
00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:57,930
Essentially, we're pegging this lease for me.
463
00:23:58,810 --> 00:23:59,750
This is my future.
464
00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:03,310
So it's pretty important for me to get the ground.
465
00:24:04,370 --> 00:24:07,910
If I can get onto my own lease and I can get 100% of the gold,
466
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:11,790
then all of a sudden I can start living and breathing
467
00:24:11,790 --> 00:24:14,410
and, you know, my kids will benefit.
468
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:17,370
Who's this?
469
00:24:17,950 --> 00:24:18,930
Looks like Mr. Patrick.
470
00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:19,970
That's your mate.
471
00:24:20,290 --> 00:24:21,230
Get away, Mr. Patrick.
472
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:32,520
Hey, mate, how are you?
473
00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:32,760
Good.
474
00:24:32,980 --> 00:24:33,580
Good, bud.
475
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,260
Hey, mate, how are you?
476
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,340
That's been a while, mate.
477
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,080
Yeah, absolutely.
478
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,840
What brings you around?
479
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,400
Dennis didn't contact you?
480
00:24:43,180 --> 00:24:45,400
Yeah, I emailed him and he said he was interested
481
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,340
in having a look at some ground.
482
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:50,540
Yeah, maybe I'd better go then.
483
00:24:50,940 --> 00:24:53,460
Talking about the lease, I'll get out of the road.
484
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,900
Yeah, he said you were sniffing around.
485
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,820
Wish you the best of luck.
486
00:24:57,260 --> 00:24:59,720
I was a bit pissed off when Donny come in, actually.
487
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,260
These guys must know I'm chasing this.
488
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,380
Time I left.
489
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,280
Good luck with it.
490
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,100
If these guys come in and gazump me, I'll be pissed.
491
00:25:09,790 --> 00:25:13,240
In the Claremont Gold Fields, cash is key.
492
00:25:13,380 --> 00:25:14,320
That was a tad awkward.
493
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,250
The question is, does Donny have the negotiation skills required
494
00:25:19,620 --> 00:25:23,180
to get Matt and Damo to agree to Dennis' terms?
495
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:25,800
Why are you entertaining this idiot?
496
00:25:30,980 --> 00:25:33,240
See if I remember how to drive this thing.
497
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,340
OK.
498
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:36,740
OK.
499
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,420
At 18.7, the dry blower is fixed and it's all systems go.
500
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:58,320
I got to feed the spotter and make sure it was running.
501
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,920
Oh, yeah?
502
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,100
I'm standing there copping it,
503
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:12,580
covered in filth-eating dirt,
504
00:26:13,260 --> 00:26:16,340
and, you know, Kimberley's worked hard too...
505
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,300
..in her air-conditioning cab.
506
00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:22,220
I'll need a phone by the end of the day at this.
507
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,660
Mastering the loader is only half the challenge.
508
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,740
The dry blower's feedway also needs careful supervision.
509
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:36,920
Yeah?
510
00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:38,740
Yep.
511
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:42,400
Running the machinery and stuff,
512
00:26:42,580 --> 00:26:45,080
it's really hard cos Dan's really the only person
513
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,680
that's hands-on experience.
514
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,240
Oh!
515
00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:59,910
OK, stop, stop, stop!
516
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:00,750
Oh!
517
00:27:06,330 --> 00:27:08,590
Kimberley has overloaded the hopper
518
00:27:08,590 --> 00:27:11,910
and the riffle trays are now completely blocked up,
519
00:27:13,090 --> 00:27:16,650
bringing the operation to a standstill once again.
520
00:27:17,230 --> 00:27:18,810
It's a disaster.
521
00:27:19,030 --> 00:27:20,710
Can you get down here, please? It's an emergency.
522
00:27:21,590 --> 00:27:24,830
Dan's hands-off approach is not working.
523
00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:25,610
What's going on, Sarah?
524
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:29,330
So, all our tray things are completely filled up
525
00:27:29,330 --> 00:27:31,110
and we've just had to completely stop.
526
00:27:31,290 --> 00:27:32,730
I don't even know what's going on.
527
00:27:33,310 --> 00:27:34,570
Let's let your bike down here now.
528
00:27:37,130 --> 00:27:43,210
All right, buddy, time to get down to it.
529
00:27:43,250 --> 00:27:44,970
Let's talk business. Let's talk turkey.
530
00:27:45,490 --> 00:27:49,150
On the Gold Coast, Richie's trying to sell a giant nugget
531
00:27:49,150 --> 00:27:52,790
to his rich doctor mate Gus for $30,000.
532
00:27:53,730 --> 00:27:55,370
All right, 30 grand.
533
00:27:59,060 --> 00:28:00,660
You do drive a hard bargain.
534
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,620
It's not a hard bargain.
535
00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:05,040
The price of gold has doubled in the last two years.
536
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:07,420
That there is a great investment.
537
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,000
I think, based on everything we've seen and market value,
538
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,780
I think 24 is reasonable for that.
539
00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:17,740
24 grand ain't going to cut it.
540
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:20,740
That's nature's retirement plan right there.
541
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:21,260
Yeah.
542
00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:25,720
Look, it is a pretty extraordinary investment.
543
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,680
I'm definitely interested.
544
00:28:27,060 --> 00:28:28,600
I haven't got an unlimited budget, though,
545
00:28:28,620 --> 00:28:30,200
and I know there's some impurities in it.
546
00:28:32,220 --> 00:28:34,920
If I can do 27, that's the best I can do.
547
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,680
That's my absolute last and final offer.
548
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,300
In the day, I could have dicked around for a couple of weeks
549
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:43,880
and found another buyer and all that type of stuff,
550
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,900
but I need the money then.
551
00:28:45,340 --> 00:28:48,520
My time's more valuable to worry about 2.5 grand.
552
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,900
There's going to be people up there that's pissed off
553
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:52,480
at me settling for 27,
554
00:28:53,740 --> 00:28:55,860
but I'm going to agree to that, all right?
555
00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:57,380
27 grand. Deal.
556
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,100
I understand Dan would be pissed off
557
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,240
that I accepted less than 30,000 for the nugget,
558
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,560
but this is a business decision.
559
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,440
I wanted to free up some cash
560
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,000
so I didn't have to put my hand in my own pocket.
561
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:08,280
It's done.
562
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,340
So, Dennis gave me a ring this morning.
563
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,080
He says I had to get out here pronto
564
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:18,240
because Lee McGrath was here
565
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,320
sniffing around the land that we're looking at.
566
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,160
Yeah, he's been here looking.
567
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,040
At scratchy move, Donnie is doing his best to keep his cool
568
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,120
and snatch the parcel of land Matt and Damo are willing to sell
569
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,380
from right under Lee's nose.
570
00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:33,960
I just wanted to come out and let you know
571
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,960
we are dead set keen on the land.
572
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,340
Yeah, well, it's 1,500 bucks a hectare.
573
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,260
1,500 bucks a hectare.
574
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:40,760
Yeah.
575
00:29:41,020 --> 00:29:42,740
I don't think he's worried about the price.
576
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,600
It's just more the terms.
577
00:29:45,780 --> 00:29:48,440
He wants to do 50% up front
578
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,900
and 50% on approval.
579
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,520
Yeah, we're not super keen on that.
580
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Right.
581
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,760
I mean...
