stop for nobody.

On this gold rush.

Gold prices up, fuel prices low.

Driven by soaring gold prices, Tony
Beats searches for buried treasure.

Sometimes you gotta gamble a little bit.

On his road to redemption, Rick Ness
battles to hit a major milestone.

I'm just gonna stay here right now.
We're going for a thousand ounces this

Shut her down, Mark! Shut her down!

I almost lost everything.

And Parker's naval race to build a war
jet pushes his crew to the limit.

But could break the scale.

35

years

ago when I started there, we were
getting 500 dollars an ounce.

Well, right now we get three times as
good, right?

We have record high gold prices. So the
more material we're on, the better we're

like you do.

After two disastrous seasons, King of
the Klondike Tony Beats is hoping to

a comeback.

Last year we didn't have a great season,
but this year with the gold price being

up, we have a trouble going already.

So we're going to see if we can make 3
,000 ounces on the hill this year.

Eight weeks into the season, Tony's
fixed his trommel and is running mega

pay dirt, which he hopes will deliver
his 3 ,000 -ounce season goal.

But he's not stopping there.

At this cool price, we're going to have
to open up new grounds quick. I mean, it

is now or never, right?

I'm going to go and have a chat with
Minnie. I'll look at the map because we

really need piles.

Very good.

Hey, Minnie.

Yeah?

Have a look.

What are we looking at?

Got to figure out that we're going to
open up some more ground.

Really? Feels low, gold is high. So if
ever was a time to take a gamble, then

now it should be it.

What about the...

We've been looking at it for the last 30
years. Where? You've been dumping

stuff? Well, we put overboard that 30
years ago.

We mined all four sites, so why wouldn't
the center be any good?

Are you going to test it first?

Do you think it's worth it? Well, the
only way you're going to find out is if

we're going to excavate it and dig it
up.

Like I said, with the gold price, we can
do it right now.

Well, then you better get on it.

Okay. So if you get out of my office,
then I'll get out of my office. I'm

There you go. Go do it.

400 yards from Tony's camp is his
potential new ground at the heart of

Hill. It's always nice to have more than
one shot open.

To search for the buried pay streak,
Tony brings in his 460 excavator.

To get to the pay, Tony will have to
literally move a mountain.

When he opened his first cut on Paradise
Hill 30 years ago, he piled the

worthless overburden on top of virgin
granite.

Since then, he's mined around the waste
site, piling 50 ,000 yards of

overburden, enough to fill 15 Olympic
swimming pools, on top of what could be

massive layer of gold -rich pay dirt.

I do remember...

Mining in front of it. I remember mining
all the way around it. I just don't

remember how far in we mined up to it.

I'll just have to dig around and figure
it out.

Grow prices up, fuel prices low. So
whenever a time that we could probably

this out, then today will be the day, I
think.

Tony's looking for the gold -rich virgin
ground, indicated by lighter -colored

gravel. which should be underneath the
overburden.

We're getting some gravel, which would
be a good sign, but that doesn't

necessarily mean that there's merging
ground.

I don't think we're gonna get lucky over
here.

Well, let's see what we're going to find
down here.

I mean, you can feel it when you dig it.

Whether it's buzzing around or not.

Well, let's not get too excited too
soon.

Have a look.

Tony's hit a pay streak.

But to find out how much gold it
contains...

he must now remove 50 ,000 yards of
overburden.

If

Tony's

right, this piggy bank, buried for 30
years, could be worth over a million

dollars.

Hey, what'd you find?

You guys put all this overburden here,
what, 30 years ago? You don't

remember what it looks like.

No, all I know is that we did put a cut
in the far side, but as to how far and

what we left in between, no, not really.

Okay, are you sure it's going to pay
out?

Well, we'll see.

It costs a bit to put a D10 in there for
a couple of days, though. I know it

feels low right now, but it still adds
up.

I know, I know.

Sometimes you've got to gamble a little
bit, too. So I'll take the 10s on it.

Let's make it disappear and find out
what's underneath it. All right.

Yeah, let's go. Let's make this happen.
Two weeks ago, Tony gambled on Monica's

hunker cut.

9 .92.

It didn't pay off.

We cannot afford to run any dirt with no
gold in it.

Now he's rolling the dice again.

Moving the overburden will cost more
than $100 ,000.

And failure will set him back by at
least a week.

This season is already short, so it's
time he can't afford to lose.

We've got a good 30 feet, maybe 40 feet
of overburden that needs to come off.

Tony's being convinced that there's
going to be a lot of pay here, but I

think so. We'll see.

You know,

we got a pretty late start this season
because of the whole COVID thing.

Despite losing four weeks at the start
of the season.

25 -year -old Prakash Nabel has big
plans to expand his mining empire beyond

Yukon.

Even with the lake there we've got,
hopefully we can find more ground in

It takes a lot of money to find more
ground.

The gold price is getting better, which
is really good.

The best chance we've got of finding
more ground is just to take advantage of

the high gold prices, make some money.

Even with the late start we've got, it's
decent. Hopefully we can do that.

To build up the war chest he needs to
expand, Parker splits his crew in half

run two massive wash plans.

How'd you sleep last night with that
rainstorm, man? I slept pretty good.

Made me sleep like a baby. Hey, let me
tell you something. As a new father, the

whole sleeping like a baby thing,
complete lie. That means you woke up

least three or four times.

I can't imagine.

In the last cut, co -former Nick
Blaschke and Brennan Ruot run wash plant

Red.

We had some rain last night, so we're
just hoping that we can keep up with Big

Red.

While four miles west, loader operator
Aaron Bowe feeds wash plant Sluicifer.

He's racing to finish the pay so he can
move the plant.

Just feeding the plant.

I'm trying to finish up so we can get
into our next cut, get back to getting

that gold.

The wash plant move is part of Parker's
radical new plan to make up for lost

time by having his crew move the plant
faster and more often.

What's up, boss?

Yeah, so this week we're going to move
the plant.

Last week.

Mitch and Brennan struggle to move Big
Red.

Whoa, it's going over. What are you
doing in there, man?

They ended up costing Parker $200 ,000
in lost gold.

That was terrible.

Now the pressure's on Aaron to make sure

Sluicifer's move is more successful.

Shainer's gonna move this plant whenever
he's ready and he ain't waiting for

you. Yeah, but the timing should work
out all right.

When you run this, you're gonna have to
stand there and babysit it. But it's

just this spot so far, this wet hay is
disgusting though.

Every day you see like all four seasons.

We've been seeing a lot of rain which is
always a concern.

Wet hay, never good, never good. It
always causes problems.

Aaron joined Parker's crew in 2014 as a
rock truck driver.

Yeah, let's get that stuff up to the
plant.

Since then, he's proved himself as a
loader operator.

It's just me over here at Big Red today.

It's just me on my loader.

Now, he's responsible for running
Parker's most productive wash plant

When I heard that the Yukon is named
Gold Mining and Essential Service, I was

real happy about that. I mean, every day
I just think about how fortunate I am

to have a job.

I put some wet material on the belt, and
I noticed that it was all spilling over

the sides there.

On Indian River, Parker Snable is a
month behind schedule, and his wash

Lucifer, is jammed with wet pay.

I tried to run back and shut this thing
down as quick as possible, but I just

couldn't do it fast enough.

Aaron Bow loaded the hopper with wet pay
dirt.

We split down the split rubber belt,
clog the rollers, and jam the

conveyor.

This is a lesson I've learned the hard
way before.

I guess I was just thinking about some
days off instead of focusing on what I

should have been focused on.

Aaron needs to finish losing.

so the plant can be moved.

The shutdown is costing valuable time
and over $5 ,000 an hour in lost gold.

JM, he's supposed to take over the plant
for the second half of the day here.

And this is how he gets started with his
training on the plant.

First lesson, what not to do.

Where it's loose in three ounces an
hour, I just cost the boss about five

Oh, okay.

Yeah, we got everything away from the
rollers.

Best case scenario, everything fires up.

All right, moment of truth.

Look at that now.

Yeah, I don't know what that beeping is.

Not good.

I've never even had this problem before.

We're going to be down longer than I
thought.

This isn't good.

Yeah, I'm caught Parker's block funny
right now. I got to go let him know that

things have gone from bad to worse down
there.

We don't have time for stupid mistakes
like the one I just made.

See how he takes it.

Okay, bye.

Just hold on to that.

Okay. Sorry about that.

He doesn't want to be bothered right
now.

He just told me to go get Shane to have
a look and see if he can do something

about it.

Oh, it'd be lovely if Shane, he has that
magic touch and he just presses a

button and it works.

Fantastic.

I want to check to see if that drum is
trying to turn up there.

It's broken.

That's why.

The belt is off on the motor.

That's going to be an issue.

It might have something to do with why
it's not turning.

These belts snap because of all the
weight on the belts from that jam up.

can see.

Right in here, all this soot in there,
and that's the belt burning apart.

Burnt him right out.

Two hours into the shutdown, mechanic
James Smith replaces the broken drive

belt.

Well, now we'll know it's not the belt
since we still got an issue.

Fingers crossed.

All clear?

Yeah, I'm clear.

Looks good there.

Should be good to go.

Far up the plat.

Better walk the rocks again.

Well, I kind of just relearned a lesson.

You don't put wet material on these
belts. You end up shoveling for half an

hour. It's just a can of worms you don't
want to open up.

Pretty happy to see our plant up and
running now.

Sometimes things go wrong on the mine.

Sometimes it's somebody's fault. This
time it was definitely mine.

So should we send Aaron through the wash
plant?

Die? I mean, the conveyors are great
until that happens. Until something

happens, yeah?

Parker can finish running paint, but
he's through.

now has even less time to move the
plank.

And he's lost two hours of valuable blue
screen.

I mean, telling me you screwed up
doesn't change the 10 ,000 o 'clock.

These last couple of years have been
rough.

Just breaking even. I've got to make
money this year, otherwise I'm not going

be able to keep gold mining.

For Rick Ness, this is the year that
makes or breaks his mining career.

After two years struggling to turn a
profit, he has to make money this

But he's already two months behind
schedule.

So Troy said I want my minimum royalties
the first month.

That's 100 ounces.

By next week.

Rick must deliver 100 ounces of gold to
claim owner Troy Taylor as a guarantee

for the season, or he'll be shut down.

There's only five of us on the crew, so
I really need everyone to step up if

we're going to get as much gold as
possible.

So far, he's only mined 66 ounces of
gold.

You see it right there.

The late start and the short season mean
Rick needs to motivate his crew.

to make every second count.

It's starting to look like we've got a
team here.

You know, I've been struggling a bit for
the last couple of years, kind of on

where I belong.

I did not set a very good example last
year. I pretty much come to terms with

the fact that I don't belong in an
office at all.

We knew that. We knew that from the
beginning.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

I told you. I told you.

Well, we need you in the field. Yeah. I
should have been out in the field a lot

more last year, and I'll rectify that
this year.

And that being said, we all need to
tighten up.

I'm just going to say it right now,
we're going for 1 ,000 ounces this year.

I know we've got a short amount of time,
but if we just work and pound it out

together, I think we can get it.

Right off the bat, Truzy, you're going
to be in a truck. We'll see where that

goes from there. Carla, obviously,
you're going to be in the gold room.

Might need to throw you in a truck here
and there, too.

Mark, that wash plant's going to kind of
be your wheelhouse.

You know, Carl, obviously, thanks for
coming back.

Yeah, you bet, yeah.

And, Carl, your first job is getting
that 700 rolling.

I'll get up there.

Let's do this. We're good?

Let's do it. Yep.

Rick's plan is to first mine the shallow
ground that will deliver fast gold in

order to pay Troy his 100 ounces.

Then with that gold bank, he'll move to
deeper ground, which is harder to mine.

But where tests go, there's more gold to
be found.

You ready to fire up? I'm ready.

New crew member Mark Dover's bike feeds
the wash plants with gold -rich pay from

the stockpile.

This is my first time mining on this
scale.

There is some pressure here. I have 20
seconds between loads, so it demands

full attention all day.

Rick's 700 excavator, which he's used to
dig out pay dirt, is down with a blown

hydraulic hose.

Mechanic Carl Rosk needs to fix it
before the stockpile of pay runs out, or

they'll have to shut down the plant.

I picked this hose up on the way up and
we're going to feed this through here

right now and hopefully have this thing
up and running so employees can put it

to work.

Yeah? I'm going to run this line up
properly.

Well, what do you need from me?

If you could pass it up through.

It's hard for me to run it up there and
grab it at the same time.

This way? Yes, sir.

Just give me a second.

And then feed that up in there.

All right. There you go.

I'll put it together.

Awesome.

We're ready for hydrology.

It's like two stories to get up on this
thing.

It is nice having you out here, Rick.

Yeah, well, I don't know why it took me
two years to figure out that I'm better

off in the field than in the office, but
that's my plan, right?

I have the most experience, and that
means I need to be out there doing the

and directing the work, so I'm going to
be out in the field the whole time this

year. Things are still different than
last year.

I'm stepping up and being the foreman.
It's huge, man.

Well, once this hydraulic soil is in
here, you can just button it up. Yep.

We'll be back up and running. I'll put
these covers back on and put that fan on

there and we'll rock.

All right.

Get on these backs.

Oh, yeah.

Back and visit.

We're good to go.

Rick gets back to the cook to gun fresh
pay dirt to the plant.

So I did some math and ran the numbers.
When we run two rock trucks, The PayPal

gets bigger twice as fast.

Well, I thought we'd hold out just the
three of us, but it sure feels nice to

have an extra hand on board.

This crew is doing pretty good. Everyone
is tight, respectful.

Great to be playing for you.

This year, man, already a huge gain.

Rick's stepping up, and, you know, being
the foreman is huge for us, right?

Rick's back in the game with a chance of
getting the 100 ounces he owes claim

owner Troy.

Yeah, it's great to have Carl back.

He got the 700 running right away, my
main production machine. Now we can

get the dirt moving, get the gold coming
in.

Ruby and I are up here on this hillside
pushing it flat.

On Paradise Hill.

Tony Beats' daughter Monica is on the
hunt for gold.

Tony's gambled three days of fuel and
crew to dig out a pastry he buried 30

years ago at what he's calling the Piggy
Bank Cup.

Two biggest expenses in a mining camp
are fuel and people.

Ruby's on the excavator to seal the edge
out. I'm pushing the overburden over.

A hundred yards away, on the other side
of the waste site, Monica's childhood

friend, Ruby Mahoney, is loading rock
trucks.

There's a lot of work that has to be
done here, so I really hope this is

going after.

Ha!

Looked off the right over there.

Tony, do you copy Tony?

Do I seem to have found a little bit of
a white layer?

Doesn't seem to be much of it there.

I'll be right over there.

I don't know if Tony's going to want to
keep going or if he's going to want to

hold a fly.

Let's go have a look at it.

Too bad it's not too on the feed wide,
huh?

Monica has hit virgin ground, but the
pay layer.

is only 10 feet wide.

Do you want to just keep digging down
and hope it's there or? It's like a

hundred grand in itself so we might as
well keep on going.

Okay. Okay, let's do it.

Despite the pay streak being smaller
than expected, Tony's gone too far to

now.

He'll have to wait for the material to
be sluiced and weighed to see if his

gamble pays off.

There's a ton of money to get in here,
you know, with all the man hours and all

the fuel costs.

I don't know if Tony just didn't
remember how little was there or what's

on, but it doesn't look so hot to me.

There we go.

There's the first rock truck of the day.

I really hope this is worth it.

In the promised land, Parker Schnabel's
crew is half a day behind schedule after

Aaron Bow jams Lucifer Copper.

Now they have just six hours to move the
wash plant to its new path, a job that

normally takes 12.

Don't stop for nobody!

Parker has a new strategy to move his
wash plant every time they run out of

to save fuel and speed up his operation.

Not many people get to work with their
kids, but it's been a good experience.

He's put father and son mechanics Dane
and Ty Smith in charge of the move.

We've been working together for the last
four years. Pretty much every single

day we're up here.

Sucks some days.

But most of the time it's pretty good.

That's only for the camera.

Yeah, you guys don't see what happens at
home.

Parker wants the plant moved in time for
the night shift in six hours time.

All right.

I'm going to, unless you guys have work
for them, I'm going to get everybody out

of here.

Is that cool with you?

Yeah, that's awesome.

They're coming to work tonight. I told
them they were working at night. Is that

all right? Yep. Yep.

Oh, they're dragging it.

Wouldn't be too bad.

so far.

Pull that thing up on the hill and we
can start putting the rest of the plant

back together.

Looks crooked.

This one pontoon dug in pretty good.

We can level it with leveling jocks, but
it takes at least six hours to do.

I don't want to be Captain Obvious.

Pain or stuff is what's happened.

And now he's trying to figure out how to
fix it.

When you level up this plant, you've got
to get the sluice runs and the plant

level all in one. And the sluice runs
have to be perfectly level.

There's just no room to do nothing.

I'm tempted to pull it back this way and
then just carve this out again.

Yeah, let's do that.

While pulling slucifer onto its new pad,
one of the pontoons dug in,

making the wash plant uneven.

Game wants to pull slucifer back down
the ramp, use the excavator to level and

firm up the pad, and then drag the wash
plant back into position.

It's the only way.

Cowboy way.

Redneck way.

We're going to pull it back over the
hill a little bit here and then fix up

pad.

Keep an eye on Mike. Boop.

Saner, keep your bucket flat so if you
have to move that, you can.

Hey, Saner.

Watch your boob.

Dana, it's coming.

Dana.

Oh,

take her easy, buddy.

Okay, you're good enough.

Good? Good enough.

That's a little closer than it needed to
be.

We're still in one piece.

We're right where we need to be.

The pronged out of the way.

Getting levels of power.

The plant dug in a little bit on the one
side.

I'm going to throw some material in here
and pad it up a bit and pull it back on

again.

It'll do it.

We'll give it a try.

Pull up here and I think we'll get it
this time.

Let's leave it like this.

It's losing.

on that thing.

Pretty level.

Check her out, cowboy.

Nice. Looking good.

Nice. Nice.

What's next, Dana?

Pipeline, stackers.

Yeah.

With the take a deck level, Kane and Ty
bring in the rest of the pieces just

before Parker returns to check on
progress.

You happy there?

Sitting pretty.

At least you guys did a really good job
on this thing.

It was a battle.

Yeah, let's see if this thing will start
up.

Oh, yeah!

Moving sluice -a -fuck took the entire
day through.

Um, yeah, we got a pat moved and
running.

It takes a little bit longer to move.

Maynard knows what he's doing, so don't
worry about me getting screwed up.

It was just a lot of BS moves.

The next one could go smoother than
that.

Oh, it's running fine.

That was almost the end of my career
right there.

I had more people on the crew, and we
were working just as hard, but the

sucked and almost lost everything.

At Duncan Creek, Rick Nash has set
himself a 1 ,000 -ounce season goal.

This year I'm trying to stay realistic,
keep costs down, send out the crew. I

have 100 hours plus a week.

I don't take days off, and I expect that
out of my crew, too.

And he's putting his crew hard to make
up for last year's failure.

There's no doubt it takes the best kind
of person to be able to work like this.

It's lifestyle. It ain't for everybody.

But, you know, one summer can change
your entire life.

That's all there is to it.

Last week, Rick brought in Mark
Doverspike, and the pressure is on the

team member.

to keep the wash plant fed.

Yeah, so, you know, coming into the
season, it was nice to finally get

and head north and do a lot of amateur
gliding back home.

I have a sluice box that's like three
feet long, and my hoe is a shovel.

This is just big.

This spring, at the start of the
pandemic,

Mark lost his job as a pipeline
mechanic.

Unemployed for about five months.

So it just feels great to get back in
the seat and to be able to actually put

money in the bank. For me, I really
don't care where I work as long as

got decent guys to work with.

The hose that supplies water to the wash
plant has blown.

It's not good.

Working with junk, man.

Without water, Rick's operation is shut
down.

Hey, Rick. Rick, you got a copy? We need
you down here. We had to shut down the

wash plant. The lathe flat broke.

All right, I'm on my way.

Here's the split.

About 16 inches.

It's just stuck through a hole.

I'm not surprised.

You see what happened?

That whole seam is going to rip. Yeah.

Down the whole pipe.

We're going to need another coupler or
something.

Every hour they're down costs Rick, in
practice, lost gold.

I just grabbed this. There's one
connector in here.

That lay flat pipe, after time, while
it's pressurized and it's

vibrating, it just splits open and then
we lose all pressure.

Tried to put something in there to keep
it from ripping again.

Mark prepares a coupler to patch the
leak.

I'm just prepping these surfaces with
this wire brush.

It gets corroded.

I'm sure this was zinc -plated at one
time, but it's not anymore.

Check her for cracks.

Hook her up, see if she works.

You know, I don't know what time it is,
but we're probably a half an hour, 40

minutes behind schedule, which isn't
ideal, but it is what it is. We'll get

thing hopefully up and running.

Hopefully we don't have any more like
this, right?

Yeah.

That's what it looks like. Yeah.

Let's get this thing running again.

Fire that thing up.

Yep.

We're going to have to live with that.

It's like you know what we're doing
here.

The hull's repaired.

The crew gets back to mining.

Get that hose swinging!

They're hoping to hit Rick's 1 ,000
-ounce goal and earn themselves a gold

bonus.

You know, the pressure's on all of us.

I'm going to give it my all, and if we
can do this.

In just two days, Rick will clean the
mess and discover if he's got the 100

ounces he owes his landlord and if he's
into profit yet.

We've already got holes everywhere, but
a $2 fix, it'll get us through another

week probably.

Well, I'm going to go get some gold out
of the ground and start making money.

One scoop at a time.

What's up, guys? Ricky!

You got that?

Yeah. Let me in.

At Lower Duncan Creek, Rick Nass gathers
his crew for the weekly Gold Way.

Oh, now down to business.

First week gone by with full crew here.
I'm happy with it. We did work well this

week, you know, together.

You know, we did face some downtime at
the plant. You know, that stupid lay

hose. I mean, what a joke. We're dealing
with a budget here, but... You know as

well as anybody else, any kind of
downtime is going to show up in the gold

at the end of the week, right?

Yeah, sure.

That's mine.

No, no one said it'd be easy. No.

Anyways, can we see what we're here for?
Yeah.

I'm kind of excited about this. Yeah.

All right, you guys ready for this?
Let's dump it out. All right, come on

come on.

Rick needs 34 ounces to hit the 100
-ounce minimum royalty he owes the claim

owner.

9, 10, 12, 20, 30, 41.

41, 30.

Worth $72 ,000.

Rick had enough gold to pay the royalty,
keep his plane, and go into profit.

That's unreal.

That is awesome.

And consistent, too. That's the
downtime, right? You take that downtime

And that's not far off from where we
were last week, right? Yeah, exactly.

That's consistent.

That means we're in good ground for
once. Ain't no joke. There's gold in

ground. We're over 100 ounces. Wow.

That's the other thing. With this late
start, I made a deal with Troy. He said

he wanted the minimum royalty right up
front. Oh.

So that's 100 ounces.

There goes our gold.

That's due by next week. But we got it.
Our minimum royalty is out of the way.

Yeah, the rest is ours.

The rest is ours.

Sounds good to me after a week here.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, buddy.

All right, get some sleep. We got a lot
more to do.

Eat, sleep, mind. Eat, sleep, mind.

By the end of the week, Tony Beats has
completely mined out the piggy bank cut.

Okay, let's go.

Get this hill on the road.

The Beek family gathered to find out if
Tony's gumball paid off.

What's been happening this week?

Decided to go back on this side of the
hill. You know, 30 years ago, put a lot

of overburden on this side. When we
started the hill, we had to put it

somewhere. And there's a whole slice of
white channel gravel left in there.

So, it's been curious to finish that
off. Today, the gold price is up there,

why not do it?

So he's got four rockets, two hoes, cat
damage, a lot.

The cost of getting down there was big.

And then you had myself.

That's expensive.

Let's see if we recover the money we
stuck in there. That being said, let's

wait. Are you ready?

Let's do this thing.

Tony needs 85 ounces to cover his cost.

30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80.

90, 100, 105 .20.

Worth almost $185 ,000.

Not as much as I thought it would be.
Memory didn't quite serve me right.

So we spent, give or take, what, $150
,000?

So, and you made about $185 ,000.

So we kind of covered it up.

You covered your end.

Tony's profits on the piggy bank is just
$35 ,000.

You know, you were all set and sure that
you were going to make millions there.

You think you know what's under the
ground.

Well, there's a joke that there was not
a sure thing, right?

Sometimes you take a chance.

If you wanted a sure thing, you would
work for the government, right? That's

right.

I was late.

At the end of a grueling week, it's time
for Parker Schnabel to find out if his

strategy of fast and furious plant moves
had paid off.

I heard Aaron had quite the incident
down there.

Yeah, he got a little carried away with
some wet pay, but it was all good. We

got it all sorted out and got him back
up running. That move went pretty good,

though, really.

Yeah, I actually got a solicitor to run
down the hill. That was kind of cool.

Did it, like, slide down the hill? Oh,
yeah, it was coming quick.

That's awesome. Big Red was steady.

We had a lot of run time, no real
issues.

So, ready to weigh up some gold?

Yes, sir.

Let her rip.

First up, Big Red.

It's been running pay from the last cut
at 220 yards an hour.

280, 300, 320, 330, 340, 357

.05.

Worth $625 ,000.

Big Red's most profitable week ever.

That's a hollow week.

Well, Shane, you're the hero.

You ready?

Sure.

Between a conveyor jam and the move to a
new cut, Lucifer was down for a whole

day. 150, 170, 180, 200, 270, 300.

320. 337 .0.

Worth $590 ,000.

Good week. Where are we at, Chris?

Okay, so for the week, we got 694
ounces.

Oh, man. For the season, it puts us at 1
,674 ounces.

Rocketing gold prices mean Parker Crew
has mined over $1 .2 million worth of

gold. in just one week.

His highest ever weekly total.

And that's a solid week.

Definitely getting rolling on the right
track now.

Thank you guys for keeping these plans
going.

I know it's not easy, especially when
people stop singing for about 30

It doesn't even take that long.

But I appreciate you guys being patient
with everybody here.

Thanks, guys. Have a good night.

On the next Gold Rush.

What the... So something is... We

don't have enough people. We're trying
to find somebody that can help you guys

out.

Oh!

If we can get this thing up to 125 yards
an hour, that's a quarter million

dollars a month.

It's a little scary here. I heard some
metal breaking.
