Hi.

How are you?

Hello.

Oh, so it's happening.

So, Tony, we lost seven good people.

Jacob, too.

I left in the middle of the night.

And they all went to pogger.

I don't give a ****.

Must be my shining personality.

I guess so.

A bunch of weasels.

They can't tough it out.

They did me a favor and left all by themselves.

Our old partner has a lot of fun with them.

He can deal with it.

Yeah.

I'm actually happy, yeah.

You know, it's not going to stop us.

I mean, the core group of us is still here.

So I guess no more days off for people.

Okay.

Let's get on with it.

Turnaround is very, very high for some **** reason this year.

Whatever.

Unfortunately, couldn't really give a **** less.

I'm just going to have to screw around with myself.

You know what I mean?

After losing seven crew members, King of the Klondike,

Tony Beets is forced to get his hands dirty to keep the gold flowing.

As long as you get gold in the box, that's all that counts.

To date, Tony's put $16 million in gold in the box.

Just last week, he hit his biggest gold weigh of the season, 672 ounces.

And he wants another mega payday by the end of the week.

Michael, his biggest job is keep these plans up and running.

Because that's the only way he can make money, right?

Cousin Mike is running two wash plants in the 46-acre corner cut.

At the north end is Tony's heavy hitter, Sluicelot.

1,500 feet south sits his new million-dollar plant, Find-A-Lot.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. You're running right over the cone.

But after the defection, Cousin Mike's now left with inexperienced crew.

It's not great. You got to train people constantly.

So this means more work for me.

I just got on the excavator loading Sluicelot.

Enjoying myself.

Without a seasoned operator to feed wash plant Sluicelot,

Cousin Mike's given the job to Darian Dennis,

who's been a gold miner for just one year.

I'm from Jamaica originally.

I'm actually taking a pilot course.

Eventually I want to fly for one of the big airlines.

This is, in my opinion, the dream team.

In the 350 loader, Megan Roberts clears tailings.

We worked together last season.

Both of us have good attention to detail, hard workers.

Being up here is just, you know, a lot of responsibility.

But like Spider-Man said, with great responsibility comes great power,

something like that, you know.

Darian, do you copy, Darian?

Do you hear that?

Yeah, I hear it.

There's something wrong with the plant.

There's a noise that normally isn't there.

It doesn't sound good.

Um...

Cousin Mike, do you copy, Cousin Mike?

Something's really wrong with the plant.

We shut it down, but you need to get here as soon as you can.

Oh, it's pretty bad.

Pretty bad.

We've got the feeder here.

It pushes all the material onto the deck,

and there's supposed to be a whole chunk of metal here, an impact bed.

So not only is this piece broken off,

it's rattled through the plant.

So, yeah, this is s***.

He didn't hear anything.

He didn't hear that.

Yeah, that's what he says.

You can't tell me you didn't hear that.

You're either not paying attention or you're full of s***.

I'm going to send the operator to his room.

It's a pretty big s*** up.

Yeah.

What the f***?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Not s***, not s***.

We got cracks right here.

Cracks, see?

Slusalot's impact bed has fallen into the plant,

smashing up the whole top shaker deck.

Okay, so, what does the rest look like underneath that s***?

Hey, Dalvin, move the s*** over.

Yeah, I'm moving them over.

We'll all get f***ing cozy over there.

Yeah, we can cuddle.

Remember, you're going to be the girl.

Okay, I'm going to turn around.

You know, I like that.

That's never ending, huh?

Jeff Turnell.

Oh.

Okay, I'll take a picture and show it to him.

On the call, Slusalot's manufacturer, Jeff Turnell.

We'll do a video call. Here you go.

How the f*** do you do that?

This is the speaker.

How the f*** do you turn the camera off?

Anyway, whatever.

We'll send you a picture and I will call you right back.

How's that?

There we go.

That sounds great.

Yeah, bye.

And a quack.

And another.

Another.

There we go.

Bing!

Oh, hey, there you are.

Did you get the pictures?

I did, yeah.

Okay.

Holy f***.

Thank you.

Talk to you in a bit.

Yeah, bye.

Oh, f***.

We'd have to take the whole top off, right?

Strip the f*** apart.

Maybe next time we'll hire somebody.

We should give them a hearing test, I guess.

Gentlemen, later.

Okay.

It's the main part of your plant, really, here.

So it's basically like rebuilding the whole f***ing plant.

It's going to be a big job.

We've got people leaving.

And our downtime's losing.

We don't have time for that s***.

Ensure the thing is f***ed.

Tony has been punched in the gut.

They'll have to dismantle and rebuild the entire $21,000 top deck with the downtime,

costing Tony over $190,000 a day in lost production.

What a f***ing mess.

I've been a lot more hands-off this year.

We've got four wash plants running, which is crazy.

But we have a long ways to go.

31-year-old Parker Schnabel's season is in danger of coming off track.

14 weeks in, he's banked over $22 million in gold.

But his numbers are slipping.

Last week, he had his worst gold weigh-in yet.

It's a little disheartening.

It's a bit scary.

Parker's spending $100,000 a day running four wash plants in an ever-expanding operation.

At Cannon Stewards, Roxanne has nearly mined out pit one.

Now, Parker wants a second pit twice the size, done by the end of the season.

At Dominion, wash plant Bob has half the massive bridge cut still to mine,

while Slucifer and Big Red are only a third of the way through the golden mile.

The priority now is just keeping those wash plants running at all costs, so we always need a lot more people.

We've been getting a lot of crew coming over from Tony's, which is nice and helpful for us.

We treat them as good as we can. We pay them as well as we can.

It wasn't very much fun working at Tony's.

Always worried about what to do, what to say, all that, whether you're going to get yelled at,

or whether Tony was in a good mood or not.

Everyone's always in a good mood here. Way better place to work.

With Parker, it's more relaxed, stress-free. You know what you're doing.

It's a little weird to hear pleas and thank yous all the time.

Rather than somebody that's just been calling *** at 7.30 in the morning.

When you compare to Tony Beats, that's like he's on a very, very far, far end of a spectrum in terms of how you treat people.

That's fine. That's Tony's style. It's none of my business.

But, you know, early years, I was terrible. I was a dick. But you live and learn, right?

It definitely annoys me hiring all these new people, and they just come and get to run whatever piece of equipment they want.

But the people that have been here a while are just kind of stuck where they are.

It definitely, like, upsets people. Like, poor Evan has been working here for a *** years.

And he knows how to run a hoe, but yet they keep him still running a plant. Trying to make his bulls***.

The new people come in and just get to do whatever they want, really.

We've hired on quite a few new guys, and they used to work for Tony.

The more help, the better over here. I'm not too sure what's going on over there.

Foreman Tyson now has to get the new crew up to speed.

Just got hired on at Parker Schnabel's mine site three days ago.

It's way better here. It's awesome.

Food's better. Camp's better. People are nice.

You actually get appreciated for the work that you do.

Tyson's handed the crucial role of feeding Slucifer,

one of two wash plants running side-by-side in the Golden Mile,

to Beet's defector, Rick Raymond.

I wouldn't say I'm a pro or anything, but I know a certain amount.

Enough to get stuff done.

Rick loads pay into the hopper,

which travels up the 120-foot super stack

into the wash plant.

As long as you're doing your job and not screwing up, I think you're pretty good.

Go ahead.

Try and aim for the center of the hopper because a lot of the material is spilling over the back.

Okay. Sorry about that.

You're all good, man.

Holy.

You're smoking.

Super stack is jammed up.

Holy.

Stacker stopped, started pouring dirt over. I just seen it over there.

At Dominion Creek, Slucifer's super stacker has jammed,

causing the generator to surge and smoke,

shutting down the plant on the watch of new hire, Rick.

Rick, I guess he wasn't paying attention.

It looks like it was running for a while and the kid didn't notice.

So now we got to go do a whole pile of shoveling,

try and get this thing back up and washing rocks.

We don't have time to be around and wasting on, you know, stupid like this.

I didn't see it happen. Just happened to look up and it was plugged.

Oh, it's like a super stacker quit.

There's smoke coming out of this box.

Parker bought the super stacker earlier this season,

with 20,000 hours already on the clock.

She's got some electric gremlins for sure.

It's going to be down for an hour. Just shoveling is a huge pain in the ass.

That's a good thing Sean spotted the pile over when he did,

because if he didn't, we'd be here for way longer than an hour.

I'm sorry, I'm just ****** out.

Rick just isn't cutting it.

He's, I don't know what they did over at Beetz there,

but yeah, he's not really getting the program here with Sluicin,

so I'm going to have to come up with something else.

You think you're good?

Yeah.

Alright.

Good for a test?

Well, it looks like it's all there mechanically.

Our power supplies are working and everything's moving as it should.

I think we're just going to fire up.

Hey Sean, how's it going man?

Good, good buddy.

Going to need to find something else for Rick to do,

so do you mind jumping in a loader for us and feeding Slucifer?

Yeah, no problem man.

Looks like our super stacker is stacking for now.

Slucifer is online and that means we're making money.

Really lucky I was here to see that and catch it at the right time.

This isn't little **** show that Tony's got going over there.

This is where the big boys play.

Alright, let's take that steel out.

This is jammed.

Cousin Mike has the weight of Tony's operation on his shoulders.

Short-handed after a load of crew defected to Parker's,

he's battling to get Slucelot back washing rocks for Tony

after the catastrophic break of the top deck.

Okay, one more like that.

**** yeah.

Piece of ****.

It's a lot heavier than you think.

On the other side of the cut,

Find-A-Lot is now Tony's only working wash plate.

We're running some pay dirt and we have some bedrock mixed up altogether.

So it's kind of a calculator this thing,

but we're all good.

Over millennia, gold sinks through gravel until it hits solid bedrock.

Often, the richest pay streaks are found right above this impenetrable surface,

but water can seep into hairline cracks and over time,

freeze and expand, causing fractures that fill with gold.

Tony believes there's a bumper payday in the jagged bedrock

and is willing to risk the sharp rocks damaging his wash plate to get more ounces.

Overseeing Find-A-Lot are Beats veterans, Eric Morel and his girlfriend, Agnès Vigée.

Tony's trust has done itself.

We should turn right now.

Oh ****.

Oh ****.

At Indian River, Tony's only working wash plant, Find-A-Lot, is jammed with jagged bedrock.

****.

This is what happens when you wash bedrock.

As you can see, it's sharp.

It doesn't roll.

When two big pieces meet each other, they don't slide past each other.

So that's what you get.

Then the other rocks come in and it'll spill all over the place.

Blue's lot's not running and our Find-A-Lot is down as well.

So at the moment, the company is making no money.

Both plants down means Tony's losing $16,000 an ounce.

We better get these rocks out of here and get at least this plant on the go.

Good thing our operator was paying attention.

The girl on the tailings paid attention.

They shot the plant off quick.

It could have been really bad.

We really got to get her going.

I'd say that's all right or what?

Yeah, good enough.

Looking good. Rocks are gone.

Let's fire it back up.

Because the crew spotted the jam quickly, Find-A-Lot was down less than an hour.

And Tony will soon find out if his gambling to run bedrock will deliver him a big payday.

Washing rocks again.

Making some money again, at least with this plant.

We'll move on. We'll go to Blue's-A-Lot and start getting that thing on the go too.

Well, Chris, how's the last run looking here?

Oh, it's chunky.

Nice.

At Parker's Indian River claim, foreman Mitch Blaschke is making a pit stop as he transitions from Pit 1 to Pit 2.

We're just running out of days here, so my big concern is, is there actually any gold in it?

There might be more, but that one just stuck out to me.

I'd nag it for good luck.

Pit 1 has delivered just 500 ounces in four weeks.

Now, Mitch is in a race to get sluicing at Pit 2 and increase Parker's weekly gold total.

This wash plant move needs to be the fastest one that we've done this season.

All righty, time for moving rocks in.

So, Sean, you can have that road done and ready by the time we get there with the wash plant parts.

We need to have this thing back up and running by the end of the day for night shift.

So, it's a lot to do, but I think we can make it happen.

All right, let's do it.

At the Indian River, Mitch and his crew spent four weeks mining out the 8-acre Pit 1.

Now, Mitch needs to break up rock sand, ready to move to a new pad three-quarters of a mile away in the new 15-acre Pit 2.

But first, Sean needs to finish building the road that connects the two pads.

Once he's done, Mitch can haul rock sand to its new home and get sluicing by the end of the day.

Normally, this is all stuff we'd have done, have it ready and prepped.

This being shorthanded, this is kind of a pain in the ass.

Just try and pull it out and towards me a little bit here.

First time I've ever done anything like this.

I feel like it's putting some trust on me to be able to do this. It's nice to see.

After four years running truck and loader, Parker's trialing Evan Kurtz on Excavator.

His first task? Drag Slucifer's twin sluice runs onto the Lowboy.

I kind of know what I'm doing, but I also don't really know what the f*** I'm doing.

That's close.

So I'm a little nervous.

That's real easy.

We couldn't have cut that any tighter.

Yeah, buddy, nice and easy.

The 20-foot runs must be dead center on the trailer bed or they risk tipping off the side.

Going pretty smoothly here.

Keep going, keep going.

Twist it.

One more of that.

Perfect stop.

Nice job, man.

Look at you go.

That's so much just anxiety.

All right, let's get rolling.

We got everything loaded up, chained down.

That's not good.

We're not going to be making it down.

So you can see here just how soft this is.

We get this truck on here with all the weight of the wash plant, I think we're going to get ourselves hung up.

I got a giant roadblock from where I'm at to where I got to be.
