Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,400
The Yukon Wilderness.
2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,340
Remote, wild, and home so far to 20
million
3
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:21,440
ounces of gold.
4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,700
For eight years, Parker Schnabel
5
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:30,480
has been building a mining empire.
6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,960
At only 26, he's amassed a wealth of
Klondike knowledge.
7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,160
But he's running out of ground.
8
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:44,800
And his only new claim is deeper than
anything he's ever mined before.
9
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:51,480
Mud Mountain. I think it's supposed to
be really good gold, but it is 50 feet
10
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:52,480
deep.
11
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,740
Some of it's 60 feet deep, and that's
40, 50 grand a day just doing stripping.
12
00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:02,420
And the bills keep coming in. And right
now we're only visiting it here.
13
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,320
The gold's just not coming in that fast.
14
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,580
So we definitely need to...
15
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:10,210
Step it up.
16
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:23,490
A mile away at the airstrip, Parker's
right -hand man, Mick Blaske, is charged
17
00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:26,810
with upping the output with only a
skeleton crew.
18
00:01:28,090 --> 00:01:30,650
This ground slot out, it's ready to go
through the plat.
19
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:37,510
It's just painfully slow coming back in
here, you know, with the crew that we
20
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:38,510
have.
21
00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:45,130
We've been running sluice -a -bur 24 -7.
22
00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:55,410
To pay for Mud Mountain, Parker needs 1
,500 ounces from the airstrip in the
23
00:01:55,410 --> 00:01:56,410
next three weeks.
24
00:02:00,630 --> 00:02:05,390
Feeding the plants is a big job. You've
got a timeline. You've got to keep
25
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:06,790
going. Don't stop.
26
00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:10,810
Tatiana Costa.
27
00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:13,610
is one of Parker's rising stars.
28
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:19,810
She runs hundreds of yards of gold -rich
pay dirt into the only operating wash
29
00:02:19,810 --> 00:02:21,470
plant, Sclusifer.
30
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:29,950
This year I feel good. I know what I'm
doing. I know what I'm looking out for.
31
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:32,450
understand the plant, the conveyors.
32
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:33,910
I enjoy it.
33
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:39,410
At the other end of the wash plant,
Pascal clears the tailings.
34
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:46,230
It's great. How about you?
35
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:49,970
I think we really are doing a great job
up here.
36
00:02:50,350 --> 00:02:51,350
Thanks, Lieutenant.
37
00:02:55,630 --> 00:02:58,750
Let's crank it up. Okay, if that's what
you want. You're the boss.
38
00:03:01,450 --> 00:03:05,570
Well, Parker wants us to crank up the
plant, and that means I've got to get
39
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:06,570
right tool for the job.
40
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:12,170
This little pair of pliers right here
might not look like much.
41
00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:17,210
But this will control just how much
yards we do with sluice. I took the knob
42
00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:22,470
a couple years ago because we've had an
issue with operators jumping out, you
43
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:25,550
know, adjusting the feed rate. It's just
not quite right.
44
00:03:28,690 --> 00:03:33,110
Right now, about 220 yards an hour. I'm
going to dial this knob here, and we're
45
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:34,110
shooting for 250.
46
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:36,890
If you want more gold, you've got to
take some chances.
47
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:46,140
Copy.
48
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Yeah, copy.
49
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:49,100
Okay, hold on for a sec.
50
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,480
Parker wants us to crank this thing up.
Okay. We've been running 220 yards an
51
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,380
hour. I just set it at 250, so we're
going to have to take up the pace here a
52
00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:01,600
bit. Okay. All right? Yes. No.
53
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:07,320
Running 15 % more pay could produce 15 %
more gold.
54
00:04:08,660 --> 00:04:13,620
Right now, we are in fifth gear. It's
going super fast.
55
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:18,529
But it also produces 15 % more tailings.
56
00:04:27,910 --> 00:04:31,750
The tailings are starting to build up.
I'm going to have to go help for a
57
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:36,570
It's just, this is absolutely crazy
trying to keep it out from the roll.
58
00:04:37,470 --> 00:04:42,810
If the tailings build up, they will jam
the conveyor and break the plant.
59
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:53,300
Did you go to coffee, miss?
60
00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:55,180
Yeah, go ahead.
61
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:58,960
Can you please come over here? I just
need to have a chat with you.
62
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,520
Yeah, no problem.
63
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,780
Me and Pascal are really struggling to
keep up with the plant right now.
64
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,200
Two people is just not enough.
65
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,620
Now you need one more person to make it
work?
66
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,300
Yeah. All right. Well, I know a guy just
stuck.
67
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,580
Give me 10 minutes. I'll get you some
help down here. Okay, awesome. Thank
68
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,720
Yep.
69
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:31,060
Hey, Chris, you got a copy?
70
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:34,380
Yeah, Mitch, this is Jimmy.
71
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,360
Yeah, hey, can you come down to
Ploosifer? I need you to run loader here
72
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,940
some tailing, but I just don't have
enough bodies down here, so I need you
73
00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:43,140
come out of retirement if you can.
74
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:44,880
I'll be there in just a few minutes.
75
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,400
All right, thanks.
76
00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:52,250
I work the gold room. That's my job.
Plus, I do a lot of peripheral stuff.
77
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:58,650
Every year since I've been with Parker,
we've been able to get more and more
78
00:05:58,650 --> 00:06:01,490
gold. We're breaking records year after
year.
79
00:06:02,330 --> 00:06:07,250
This could be the first year that not
only do we not break a record, I take
80
00:06:07,250 --> 00:06:10,110
back. We could break a record going
backwards.
81
00:06:13,570 --> 00:06:16,810
We're as much of a team as we are a
family up here.
82
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,980
You know, if you can do a job, you do
it.
83
00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:25,440
Last time I was in a loader was about
two years ago.
84
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,820
This thing's so big and scary.
85
00:06:44,330 --> 00:06:45,290
That's what
86
00:06:45,290 --> 00:07:03,670
happens
87
00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:06,590
when you try to stuff three pounds in a
two pound can.
88
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:09,190
They're just feeding this thing too
fast.
89
00:07:35,210 --> 00:07:39,250
good about how things are going. I mean,
you know, the cost of gold ratio right
90
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:42,970
now is great. We're on track for a, you
know, very profitable year.
91
00:07:43,870 --> 00:07:47,830
The lower Duncan Creek, Rick Nest is
hitting pay dirt.
92
00:07:49,950 --> 00:07:55,310
I'm clearing overburden in the creek cut
so that we can keep enough pay to the
93
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:56,310
plant.
94
00:07:57,710 --> 00:08:00,810
I mean, this is basically what we hung
our hat on last year. This is what we
95
00:08:00,810 --> 00:08:04,230
run. Last year is what got us to our
goal. It's what got us started this
96
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:05,350
and it's been consistent.
97
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:12,250
Five weeks in, Rick's already mined 250
ounces of gold.
98
00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:14,590
His fastest start ever.
99
00:08:17,310 --> 00:08:21,590
But the biggest problem that we've got
right now is we're back running out of
100
00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:22,590
in the creek cut.
101
00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:25,070
And all that's left now is this last
little strip.
102
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,680
That's going to give us maybe five, six
more days of running, if that.
103
00:08:32,659 --> 00:08:36,700
In order to progress here at Duncan
Creek, we have to get bigger.
104
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,159
And if I want to keep growing, I'm going
to have to spend more to make more.
105
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,000
Do you mind just being over like four
feet or five feet this way next time?
106
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,320
I know, you want me closer to you,
right?
107
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,960
I just really, really miss you.
108
00:08:56,540 --> 00:09:02,240
Hot shot dirt mover Brennan Rualt loads
pay for Chris Cruz, who then takes it to
109
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,240
the watch point.
110
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,700
He looks like a man with a plant.
111
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:15,560
What's up, buddy?
112
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,940
We're just about out of ground here and
this creek got on. Yeah.
113
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:20,900
We've got to pivot fast.
114
00:09:22,350 --> 00:09:26,110
I mean, I've been thinking about where
we can go, and I think that I want to go
115
00:09:26,110 --> 00:09:32,090
upstream and kind of stay on the same
tail air. I haven't done any poking
116
00:09:32,090 --> 00:09:34,910
up there yet, but I know that this has
all been real consistent.
117
00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:38,750
Yeah. So I don't see any reason why it
shouldn't stay like it is.
118
00:09:39,550 --> 00:09:40,550
Right.
119
00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:47,830
If the creek cut pastry continues under
the 26 acres of frozen ground to the
120
00:09:47,830 --> 00:09:48,830
west,
121
00:09:49,420 --> 00:09:52,500
It could contain over 1 ,000 ounces in
gold.
122
00:09:56,500 --> 00:10:00,220
The one bad thing about heading that
way, though, is that it is frozen,
123
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,040
There is permafrost there, so we know
it's never been mined.
124
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,980
We haven't dealt with any permafrost
really here yet, and I don't think there
125
00:10:06,980 --> 00:10:08,860
will be too much frozen mud there
either, right?
126
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,340
Well, that would be a nice place to try
that new dozer out anyway.
127
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:12,700
And see how that thing rips?
128
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,480
Yeah. So do you want me to go flash that
dozer up or what? I don't know yet. I
129
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,680
don't know if you're going to be the one
to run it.
130
00:10:19,130 --> 00:10:20,130
Are you serious?
131
00:10:20,350 --> 00:10:23,330
I come up here at minus 30 and put it
together and you're taking my thunder?
132
00:10:23,530 --> 00:10:26,010
Come on. How much money did you pay for
it?
133
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:27,610
A lot.
134
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:30,790
Seems like the perfect opportunity to
see what it's got.
135
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:32,510
Okay. Well, I'm down for that.
136
00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:34,130
Start burning the $100 bills.
137
00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:37,950
Fuel bills going up today, boys.
138
00:10:38,530 --> 00:10:40,470
Way up.
139
00:10:44,430 --> 00:10:48,310
The 900 horsepower 475 Dozer.
140
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,000
Cost half a million dollars and burns
through two and a half thousand dollars
141
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
fuel a day.
142
00:10:55,820 --> 00:10:59,060
Doubling Rick's entire fuel bill
overnight.
143
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:06,480
Yeah, definitely pretty sweet that
Rick's let me operate this big beast.
144
00:11:06,740 --> 00:11:10,940
If I get to be on this for a big part of
the team, I'll be pretty happy.
145
00:11:30,650 --> 00:11:37,350
The 475 can push two rock trucks worth
of dirt, as its six -foot ripper
146
00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:40,030
shank tears through the frozen ground.
147
00:11:46,670 --> 00:11:47,670
Absolutely everything.
148
00:11:54,110 --> 00:11:56,730
I mean, Jesus Christ, look how soft this
is.
149
00:11:57,210 --> 00:11:58,690
Gotta go real gentle.
150
00:11:59,470 --> 00:12:06,030
I mean, those are 300 ,000 pounds. Look
at this, I'm already sinking here.
151
00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:12,110
That's my worst nightmare just now.
152
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Yeah, go for it.
153
00:12:32,740 --> 00:12:36,360
Hey, buddy, I think I might need your
hand over here. Got a little bit stuck
154
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,360
the dozer.
155
00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:41,100
Brennan, that's not like you. Are you
serious?
156
00:12:42,860 --> 00:12:47,520
Yeah, I tried capping off some really
soupy, serious, good stuff, and it just
157
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,820
sunk through, so I thought before it got
real bad.
158
00:12:51,820 --> 00:12:53,900
All right, well, just hold tight. I'll
be right over there.
159
00:12:55,820 --> 00:12:58,720
With finding new ground first becoming a
priority,
160
00:12:59,610 --> 00:13:05,030
Rick can ill afford his prized half
-million dollar dozer to be stuck in the
161
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:06,030
mud.
162
00:13:08,650 --> 00:13:10,210
We're running low on paint.
163
00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:12,810
I basically have to keep stripping.
164
00:13:14,110 --> 00:13:16,270
This stuff right here is going to put us
behind.
165
00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:21,390
Any kind of delay is a risk that we'll
have to shut the plant down.
166
00:13:24,630 --> 00:13:28,410
What happened is I went a little too far
trying to wrap out there.
167
00:13:29,230 --> 00:13:32,470
And as soon as I lifted my glade, the
front end just sunk down, and then my
168
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:36,890
ripper was stuck on the shaft and drove
the head, so I kind of couldn't get out
169
00:13:36,890 --> 00:13:37,890
of it.
170
00:13:42,050 --> 00:13:46,310
As soon as I get this bug out, he could
be able to come forward and track right
171
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:48,830
out through this, and then get back up
and get back to work.
172
00:13:57,930 --> 00:14:01,070
I'm not stuck all that bad. It's just
enough that I can't quite get enough
173
00:14:01,070 --> 00:14:02,350
traction to back out of it.
174
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:10,090
Brennan, I'm not going to hit anything
up there, am I?
175
00:14:11,170 --> 00:14:15,450
No, I don't know if I'd pull there,
Rick. Maybe just even grab that quarter
176
00:14:15,450 --> 00:14:16,510
bit on my lowest side there.
177
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:18,990
Can I go there?
178
00:14:19,630 --> 00:14:21,310
Yeah, that'll work up there too, you
bet.
179
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:35,700
Come on.
180
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,040
There we go.
181
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:39,880
Woo! Ah!
182
00:14:42,020 --> 00:14:43,320
You got it!
183
00:14:45,540 --> 00:14:46,540
You got it.
184
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:51,300
That wasn't a rookie card, eh?
185
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:54,720
I know you're nervous. You're trying to
impress me, so I'll let it go.
186
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:57,100
Thanks, buddy.
187
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,760
What not to do. Follow Big Cat for more
tips.
188
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:31,020
As of right now, I'm pretty far behind
the power curve, you know.
189
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,720
A lot of things happened that weren't
supposed to. We're really behind the
190
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,720
ball at this point.
191
00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:42,540
Deep in the wilderness at California
Creek, Special Forces veteran Fred Lewis
192
00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:44,760
has struggled from the start.
193
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,720
For all his efforts, Fred has just two
ounces of gold to show for it.
194
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:59,140
Got to really focus on moving forward.
I've had no crew. I've had no time. I've
195
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:00,800
been behind schedule the entire season.
196
00:16:01,370 --> 00:16:04,950
I'm all in on California Creek, so right
now, we've got to make it happen.
197
00:16:07,210 --> 00:16:10,750
You know, it could have just maybe a
little bit more to get her up to the
198
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:11,750
line.
199
00:16:12,750 --> 00:16:17,610
Former Green Beret, mechanic J .B.
Mayer, has been Fred's only crew.
200
00:16:19,290 --> 00:16:20,290
Until now.
201
00:16:25,010 --> 00:16:26,010
Who's that, Fred?
202
00:16:29,310 --> 00:16:30,750
Oh, that's Stuart and Trent.
203
00:16:33,750 --> 00:16:34,750
What's up, brother?
204
00:16:35,470 --> 00:16:37,450
Excited. Oh, man.
205
00:16:38,090 --> 00:16:39,530
How you been, man?
206
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:40,750
Good.
207
00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:42,910
Oh, son.
208
00:16:43,230 --> 00:16:44,530
Oh, thank you. JV.
209
00:16:45,470 --> 00:16:46,470
Christopher.
210
00:16:47,370 --> 00:16:50,290
This is JV, our mechanic. We have a
mechanic.
211
00:16:53,570 --> 00:16:55,970
Infantry Scout Sniper Stuart McKenzie.
212
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,700
is the only returning military veteran
from last season's crew.
213
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:06,599
We got good equipment. Right now we have
a 220.
214
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,540
Working on some more, but we're going to
make sure we get all good equipment.
215
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,200
Gold's here, man.
216
00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:15,839
We just got to figure out where that pay
level starts, pull it out, and we're
217
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:16,839
good.
218
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,460
Fred has also drafted in his stepson,
Christopher Parker.
219
00:17:24,180 --> 00:17:25,319
You guys want to go see it?
220
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,980
Yeah, let's go check it out, bro. So how
you been, Stuart?
221
00:17:28,220 --> 00:17:29,820
Good, man. I'm not going to lie.
222
00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:31,360
It was pretty tough coming up here, man.
223
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,660
Over 40 miles away from the nearest
town, Fred's leased eight planes on
224
00:17:39,660 --> 00:17:45,120
California Creek, a remote, unproven
piece of virgin ground.
225
00:17:49,580 --> 00:17:52,860
He's dripped an area the size of four
football fields.
226
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:58,540
but still has another three feet to go
before hitting payday.
227
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,820
You know, I have a pretty good feeling
about this season.
228
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,020
This is the wild, wild west when it
comes to gold mining.
229
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,960
Been dying to get up here.
230
00:18:22,590 --> 00:18:28,910
Before Fred allowed 21 -year -old
Christopher to work on the mine, he was
231
00:18:28,910 --> 00:18:29,910
to test him out.
232
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:32,710
Get clear, everyone.
233
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:37,210
I got him a job on a farm just to get
some more x -ray to work. He does have
234
00:18:37,210 --> 00:18:40,830
sick time, but I've never really seen
him operate myself.
235
00:18:43,450 --> 00:18:46,130
Yeah, the only thing you did on that,
Christopher, is you started to go
236
00:18:46,130 --> 00:18:50,150
before you lifted up. Yeah, no, I didn't
realize that the bucket was out all the
237
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:52,810
way. Yeah, otherwise it was perfect.
Keep it up.
238
00:18:53,010 --> 00:18:56,170
It says I am perfection personified, as
you know.
239
00:18:59,270 --> 00:19:03,590
I'd say one thing that I have ingrained
in Christopher that may have been a bad
240
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:05,010
idea is a little bit of overconfidence.
241
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:09,990
Chris is also ex -military.
242
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:12,730
The son of Fred's wife, Cara.
243
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:15,390
He's helped raise him since he was
seven.
244
00:19:19,690 --> 00:19:20,870
How's it feeling in there, Christopher?
245
00:19:21,330 --> 00:19:22,510
You're doing a really good job.
246
00:19:23,030 --> 00:19:24,350
Did you expect any less?
247
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:26,670
I mean, if we were talking about here.
248
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:29,230
Get back to work.
249
00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:34,810
Luckily, I've known Christopher almost
his whole life, so I know how to train
250
00:19:34,810 --> 00:19:37,950
him. I know how to push him, and I know
how not to push him. So that's going to
251
00:19:37,950 --> 00:19:41,330
help me a lot, but he's a stubborn
little punk sometimes.
252
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:45,450
Down in the court.
253
00:19:46,139 --> 00:19:49,220
Stuart is quickly reintroduced to the
rigors of mining.
254
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,080
And I mean, look at this. The mud is
just unbelievable.
255
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,180
Now we've got to just get it out of
here.
256
00:20:24,540 --> 00:20:29,740
Water inspectors have the power to shut
down an operation and have hit Fred with
257
00:20:29,740 --> 00:20:32,240
a list of fixes before mining can
resume.
258
00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:39,760
Well, that's just extra work. That's
just going to put us more behind.
259
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:44,900
I think at this point what we have to do
is
260
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:46,769
Be compliant.
261
00:20:46,770 --> 00:20:48,750
Yeah. And do what they want.
262
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:50,350
Make them happy.
263
00:20:50,550 --> 00:20:52,750
Yeah. But it's also going to teach us
how to do it right.
264
00:20:55,030 --> 00:21:01,590
To prevent melting permafrost from
washing mud into the creek, they need to
265
00:21:01,590 --> 00:21:08,590
build berms on either side, move the
road nine feet from the water's edge,
266
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:13,050
then reinforce both with gravel.
267
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,960
We're going to have to basically focus
on every single thing he told us to do
268
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,880
until then we're not doing anything
else.
269
00:21:25,540 --> 00:21:26,600
We've got a week to do it.
270
00:21:26,860 --> 00:21:30,320
We're going to have to run 24 hours, but
I still don't know if we're going to
271
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,320
get through it then.
272
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,320
Well, you know what? We could sit here
about it all day long, I think, but the
273
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,000
key is we have a lot more work to do
now.
274
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,400
We're really going to have to focus from
this point on and just knock it out and
275
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,299
do it right.
276
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:44,300
Let's get going.
277
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:45,420
Focus. Definitely.
278
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,680
Cool. Roger that.
279
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:55,590
This has got to be our road access, and
obviously if you look now, it's nowhere
280
00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:56,590
near that.
281
00:21:58,870 --> 00:22:02,350
So the road's probably one of the most
important parts of our mine operation
282
00:22:02,350 --> 00:22:05,870
because we have to be able to move
freely and quickly down it. And right
283
00:22:05,870 --> 00:22:06,870
it's a nightmare.
284
00:22:06,970 --> 00:22:08,990
It's killing us, slowing everything
down.
285
00:22:10,430 --> 00:22:14,490
So until all this overburden's out,
we're kind of stuck.
286
00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:22,310
The inspectors don't give second
chances, so Fred starts on the burns.
287
00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:30,210
Our entire mine site is covered in three
feet of liquid mud.
288
00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:34,370
And Stuart and JB get to work building
the new road.
289
00:22:36,810 --> 00:22:41,690
We have so much that we need to clean
out that we can be running for 24 hours.
290
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,960
Right now I'm pulling double duty. I'm
doing the excavator and I'm also doing
291
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,679
the rock truck.
292
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,860
I'm trying to get this mud out of here.
You know, it's not a simple task.
293
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,160
Oh my gosh, he's losing dirt all out the
truck.
294
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,240
All that mud right now is on top of our
new road we just built.
295
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,160
Oh my gosh.
296
00:23:19,879 --> 00:23:22,840
You know what? I don't like leaving
things unfinished.
297
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,140
This was my problem all day, but we were
at 15, so this is now Fred's problem.
298
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,920
Hopefully it won't be mine in the
morning.
299
00:23:43,050 --> 00:23:46,810
Hey, Tyson, Tyson, you got a copy, man?
We need some help down here.
300
00:23:57,090 --> 00:24:00,990
Oh, take a look at this one. We got a
bit of shoveling, eh, bud?
301
00:24:01,750 --> 00:24:02,750
What do you think?
302
00:24:04,170 --> 00:24:10,910
At the extra cut, Parker's work plan is
down with a jump hopper.
303
00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:16,310
I like the look of that.
304
00:24:16,890 --> 00:24:19,770
Come up there, then I'll give her a
little water.
305
00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:21,610
Oh yeah, hang on a minute.
306
00:24:21,950 --> 00:24:23,070
You good, Alex?
307
00:24:23,450 --> 00:24:24,510
Did you say go?
308
00:24:26,650 --> 00:24:27,650
Let's go.
309
00:24:29,930 --> 00:24:31,810
Okay, go for it.
310
00:24:39,030 --> 00:24:42,870
This conveyor, well, it's built for
removing overburden.
311
00:24:43,370 --> 00:24:45,170
We're using it here for feeding the wash
plant.
312
00:24:49,910 --> 00:24:55,250
Running more pay has increased the
weight on the conveyor and slowed it
313
00:24:56,130 --> 00:25:02,090
Because of this, the dirt's not thrown
far enough in for the water jets to hit
314
00:25:02,090 --> 00:25:03,090
it.
315
00:25:03,530 --> 00:25:07,850
The material's falling too far back in
the free wash, so we're going to
316
00:25:07,850 --> 00:25:12,170
the belt speed here, and that's going to
allow the material to land where we
317
00:25:12,170 --> 00:25:13,170
need it to.
318
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:19,100
Speeding up the super conveyor's belt
should launch the pay further into the
319
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:20,100
jets.
320
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:44,480
But we need to keep this thing running.
321
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:48,180
Let's just try and keep this thing ahead
a little bit.
322
00:25:48,740 --> 00:25:52,200
We might have a little fillage, but
that's kind of where we're at.
323
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:58,780
As a last resort, Mitch plans to move
the super conveyor closer to Sue's
324
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,720
Obviously, we don't want material
spilling out here, but you have to have
325
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,560
land in the correct spot of the pre
-wash.
326
00:26:11,660 --> 00:26:15,500
You know, we always want to run as much
yards as we can, but there's a real fine
327
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:18,320
line. You've got to find that sweet spot
when these plants run.
328
00:26:18,740 --> 00:26:22,960
So we were originally at 220 yards an
hour before Parker wanted us to jack
329
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,800
everything up here and get this thing
ripping.
330
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,820
Now we're at 250 and we're just really
fighting it.
331
00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:33,240
I'm going to slow it down here just a
little bit, shoot for about 240, and
332
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,320
see how she runs there.
333
00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:37,340
Turn her down a little.
334
00:26:41,979 --> 00:26:43,600
$13 ,000 in lost gold.
335
00:26:51,380 --> 00:26:53,120
This thing's right where she needs to
be?
336
00:26:53,540 --> 00:26:55,640
We could have a good clean up here if we
hold together.
337
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:57,100
Want a sweater, Buck?
338
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480
that's been so good, I just wish there
was more of it.
339
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:27,620
In the mountains above Keno, Rick Ness
is aiming for a healthy 2 ,000 ounces.
340
00:27:28,820 --> 00:27:33,620
But his moneymaker, Creek Cut, is fast
running out of pain.
341
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,640
We've got one very good thing going for
us right now, and that's the plants
342
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,640
running.
343
00:27:42,860 --> 00:27:46,040
Everything around that is very scary.
344
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:53,140
To the west, Brennan spent five days
digging in the unforgiving frozen cut.
345
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,640
His massive 475 dozer devouring land and
fuel.
346
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,580
Definitely have had a few struggles
along the way getting this frozen cut
347
00:28:03,580 --> 00:28:04,580
up here.
348
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:06,600
Brennan must hit pay.
349
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:14,180
If unsuccessful, Rick will be left with
a hefty fuel bill and work still nowhere
350
00:28:14,180 --> 00:28:15,180
to mine.
351
00:28:20,110 --> 00:28:23,690
start ripping and opening up the ground
and all of a sudden I'm into this frozen
352
00:28:23,690 --> 00:28:30,450
blue clay and I'm not too sure and
there's huge pockets of it as well
353
00:28:30,450 --> 00:28:37,070
so I mean it's done of weird different
layers you know I have no idea what's
354
00:28:37,070 --> 00:28:42,650
going on and it's not making any sense
to me here you know I don't know do I go
355
00:28:42,650 --> 00:28:46,150
through that clay in hopes that there's
gravel underneath like I don't know
356
00:28:46,150 --> 00:28:47,510
because I'm new to this ground
357
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:53,880
I think I'm just going to give Rick a
call and get him down here to see what
358
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,060
thoughts are, because I don't want to
sit here and burn a bunch of fuel and
359
00:28:57,060 --> 00:28:59,680
waste a bunch of time if it's just going
to be dark.
360
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:02,080
Got a copy there, Rick?
361
00:29:03,420 --> 00:29:04,420
Yeah, go for it.
362
00:29:04,980 --> 00:29:07,140
Hey, buddy, I don't know what's going on
down here.
363
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:12,100
I'm hitting some huge clay pockets that
are frozen, so I just don't know what to
364
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:14,120
think about it. Would you mind coming
and checking them out?
365
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Yeah, I'll be right there, man.
366
00:29:16,740 --> 00:29:17,840
All right, perfect. Thanks.
367
00:29:20,610 --> 00:29:25,750
Rick gumbled on the pale layer in the
creek cut, extending into the frozen
368
00:29:35,530 --> 00:29:36,530
Let's go, buddy.
369
00:29:37,050 --> 00:29:38,710
Turned into a bit of a mess out here,
huh?
370
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:39,910
Yeah, I know.
371
00:29:41,850 --> 00:29:43,410
We should have already hit gravel.
372
00:29:44,670 --> 00:29:48,490
There's no gravel there. No. And I can
see that wall. It's just clay and mud.
373
00:29:49,290 --> 00:29:53,790
Yeah. And it's almost like a weird, it's
almost sticky, you know what I mean?
374
00:29:53,910 --> 00:29:54,910
It's like it's clay.
375
00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:58,030
Well, and that's the problem. It looks
like the clay that's supposed to be
376
00:29:58,030 --> 00:29:58,649
the pay.
377
00:29:58,650 --> 00:29:59,650
Yeah, exactly.
378
00:29:59,850 --> 00:30:02,830
It's not like anything I've run across
out here, or really anywhere.
379
00:30:03,790 --> 00:30:06,670
But I mean, we've got how many days here
in this one area, and it's just,
380
00:30:06,730 --> 00:30:07,730
there's no end in sight.
381
00:30:07,750 --> 00:30:12,170
No. I don't want to keep going if it's
going to be a waste of my time and your
382
00:30:12,170 --> 00:30:16,410
money. Yeah. It doesn't make any sense
in the fact that I've not seen any
383
00:30:16,410 --> 00:30:22,160
anyway. where there should be gravel
yeah i mean i i we can't just keep
384
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,920
money at this we gotta find some thawed
ground i think and fast yeah i say we
385
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,360
just walk away from this for now okay
park that big cat and let's uh all right
386
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:38,180
let's find some pay trying to keep my
calm but uh
387
00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:44,940
doesn't make any sense the frozen cut
388
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:47,110
is to the west of the creek cut.
389
00:30:48,570 --> 00:30:53,870
22 ,000 years ago, a glacier pulled gold
from the mother lode.
390
00:30:54,930 --> 00:30:58,530
As it melted, the gold washed down the
valley.
391
00:30:59,350 --> 00:31:04,170
Where the water moved faster, the gold
settled on a layer of bedrock.
392
00:31:06,590 --> 00:31:10,570
But at the frozen cut, where the water
flowed more slowly,
393
00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:13,430
the gold appears to have been
distributed
394
00:31:14,260 --> 00:31:15,900
within a thick layer of clay.
395
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:21,780
This is a disaster.
396
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,900
I mean, I just spent 20 grand digging a
hole in the ground, and all we found is
397
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:31,100
clay. So, first of that, we're almost
out of pay dirt, and I'm going to have
398
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:32,100
shut the plant down.
399
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:36,480
If that happens, 2 ,000 -ounce goal,
nothing's happening.
400
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:38,020
I'm starting to pee.
401
00:31:59,470 --> 00:32:03,930
Doing the burn, the road, and taking
care of the drainage as we're trying to
402
00:32:03,930 --> 00:32:08,210
remove overburden is proving to be
nearly impossible in the timeline that
403
00:32:08,210 --> 00:32:12,770
up. So if he comes and infects us at
this point, we're pretty screwed.
404
00:32:15,390 --> 00:32:20,830
At California Creek, Fred's four -man
crew have spent the entire week building
405
00:32:20,830 --> 00:32:23,870
burns to stop mud getting into the
creek.
406
00:32:24,890 --> 00:32:27,970
It's grew in work with little reward.
407
00:32:43,710 --> 00:32:50,610
With the power to shut down the claim,
the crew have just one more day before
408
00:32:50,610 --> 00:32:53,230
the inspectors return to assess their
work.
409
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:02,740
It's one of those things you hope what
you're doing is going to be up to par
410
00:33:02,740 --> 00:33:04,080
good enough for everything you know.
411
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:12,760
We've got a lot of the road built
already.
412
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:15,080
That's the wood done last night and this
morning.
413
00:33:16,780 --> 00:33:19,160
It's a pretty good feeling that we're
actually accomplishing something.
414
00:33:29,290 --> 00:33:31,890
So this is the end of our road. We've
already punched about a quarter of a
415
00:33:31,890 --> 00:33:35,330
of this road and this is the only
section we have left finished.
416
00:33:35,330 --> 00:33:36,330
is it.
417
00:33:41,170 --> 00:33:46,030
What I'm doing is I'm bringing in gravel
from the other spots of the plane and
418
00:33:46,030 --> 00:33:50,110
dropping it on the road and then patting
it in so it stays nice and firm.
419
00:33:52,250 --> 00:33:53,250
Alright.
420
00:33:57,780 --> 00:34:00,480
Fred's collecting gravel from higher up
the hill.
421
00:34:04,260 --> 00:34:08,179
This is all ice.
422
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,780
Now I've got to try and turn myself so I
don't slip.
423
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:21,820
This sucks right now because I'm facing
sideways and I'm just sliding on ice.
424
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,900
The 220 excavator weighs a daunting 28
tons.
425
00:34:38,780 --> 00:34:44,300
I jumped out of planes at 22 ,000 feet,
the highest I've ever jumped, and I was
426
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:45,300
never nervous.
427
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:50,460
And that 50 feet in the excavator is
definitely a mistake.
428
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,900
Working through the night.
429
00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:01,380
The crew have completed the road.
430
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,120
But with the inspectors due, they still
haven't finished the burns.
431
00:35:10,260 --> 00:35:15,500
What I'm basically doing is driving the
entire claim and the excavator looking
432
00:35:15,500 --> 00:35:21,180
for firm fix and tightening those areas
up to make sure we're within regulation.
433
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,360
I think right now the burns are doing
their job.
434
00:35:27,740 --> 00:35:33,400
It did rain a couple days ago pretty
hard, and what we had built up to that
435
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,700
point held up.
436
00:35:36,580 --> 00:35:40,660
You know, we've been all hands on deck.
We went to 24 -hour shifts just for this
437
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:44,800
water inspection, and right now I'm a
little uncertain on whether or not we're
438
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:45,800
going to pass.
439
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,620
You know, there's an actual probability
of getting blacklisted if you really
440
00:35:52,620 --> 00:35:54,440
mess something up here in the Yukon.
441
00:35:55,790 --> 00:36:00,830
I don't want to get blacklisted from
anywhere, from anything, let alone the
442
00:36:00,830 --> 00:36:02,090
place in the world, the gold mine.
443
00:36:08,430 --> 00:36:11,530
Well, it's been a disaster of a week,
wasting all that time and money in the
444
00:36:11,530 --> 00:36:18,010
frozen cut, but the good news is... Rick
has been apart from his new girlfriend
445
00:36:18,010 --> 00:36:20,210
for almost two months.
446
00:36:20,690 --> 00:36:23,130
You know who's coming today, right? You
know who's coming?
447
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,340
Oh, your favorite person, Lee?
448
00:36:25,580 --> 00:36:27,680
He's going to be here any minute.
449
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:34,780
I met my girlfriend Lee like really
after I got home and pretty
450
00:36:34,780 --> 00:36:36,000
much spent the whole winter with her.
451
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:42,500
Yeah, we just clicked. And it clicked
enough for me to say, hey, do you want
452
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:47,100
come up here with me this year? Which is
a huge, huge change for me.
453
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,640
You know, that's a big step for her,
too.
454
00:36:50,980 --> 00:36:52,320
So it's not glamorous.
455
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,420
You know, but the fact that she agreed
to do it, I think, says a lot.
456
00:36:56,820 --> 00:36:59,900
You know, this is a big new thing.
457
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:01,300
Big new thing for me.
458
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:04,520
It's only for the fences with this one,
I guess.
459
00:37:07,060 --> 00:37:08,420
Who is that? Who's out there?
460
00:37:08,780 --> 00:37:09,780
Is that Lise?
461
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,880
Originally from Wisconsin, Lise Marie
has built a career as a nurse.
462
00:37:23,530 --> 00:37:25,690
You're pulling my pants down with your
legs. I'm sorry.
463
00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:29,470
You got bags?
464
00:37:29,710 --> 00:37:30,710
I got bags.
465
00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:32,310
How was your trip?
466
00:37:32,510 --> 00:37:34,450
It was long. It was long? Yeah.
467
00:37:35,110 --> 00:37:36,550
It's going to be worth it, all right?
Yeah.
468
00:37:38,890 --> 00:37:40,090
Oh, my God.
469
00:37:41,950 --> 00:37:45,890
May as well.
470
00:37:49,330 --> 00:37:50,330
Uh,
471
00:37:50,930 --> 00:37:52,430

00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:35,500
What about me?
483
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,000
It was an interesting week, I guess.
484
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,960
You know what's sweet is I got stuck in
the 475.
485
00:38:41,380 --> 00:38:42,540
What a joke.
486
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,180
I don't think there's anything left to
do but pour some gold, right?
487
00:38:46,420 --> 00:38:47,740
You going to count the numbers there?
488
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,100
Yes, where I'm sitting here. You just
count the numbers.
489
00:38:51,690 --> 00:38:55,990
So far, Rick has averaged over 62 ounces
a week.
490
00:39:00,090 --> 00:39:02,010
Ready? Ready.
491
00:39:02,250 --> 00:39:03,250
All right, here we go.
492
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:11,050
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 80,
493
00:39:11,370 --> 00:39:18,070
90, 96 .18.
494
00:39:20,620 --> 00:39:22,380
Sweet, man. We've been going up every
week.
495
00:39:23,060 --> 00:39:29,680
Worth over $173 ,000, it's Rick's
biggest gold waste so far,
496
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,000
giving him 346 ounces for the season.
497
00:39:39,060 --> 00:39:40,440
Not a bad week.
498
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,320
Yeah, that even covers the cost of that
475 running and not getting any gold out
499
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,320
of that frozen cut.
500
00:39:47,660 --> 00:39:53,580
Yeah, on that note, let's get to work.
501
00:39:54,040 --> 00:40:01,020
But to reach his goal of 2 ,000 ounces,
he desperately
502
00:40:01,020 --> 00:40:02,220
needs new ground.
503
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,440
Well, we banked some gold this week,
but...
504
00:40:08,890 --> 00:40:12,570
We took a big hit in the frozen cut.
It's a bust. And the creek cut, pay's
505
00:40:12,570 --> 00:40:15,950
almost gone there, so I need to find
some new ground in mine and fast.
506
00:40:25,810 --> 00:40:26,689
What's up, man?
507
00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:27,468
Hey, hey.
508
00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:29,610
What are you up to, brother? How you
guys doing? Good.
509
00:40:30,950 --> 00:40:35,750
For the past week, Fred's four -man crew
have pulled multiple night shifts.
510
00:40:36,970 --> 00:40:41,890
If their roads and berms aren't up to
scratch, the watering specters could sit
511
00:40:41,890 --> 00:40:44,290
down the site permanently.
512
00:40:46,830 --> 00:40:49,110
There's nothing he told us to do we
haven't done.
513
00:40:49,470 --> 00:40:54,330
The question is, did we do it good
enough? Yeah. I mean, we're new at this.
514
00:40:54,530 --> 00:40:57,450
Yeah. All greenhorns. Yeah, all
greenhorns.
515
00:40:57,670 --> 00:41:00,930
I think we've moved more dirt just the
four of us than we moved all season last
516
00:41:00,930 --> 00:41:03,150
season. Yeah. We worked our butt off
doing it.
517
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,540
Yeah, I'm really proud of you guys, but
at the same time, this water guy could
518
00:41:06,540 --> 00:41:10,240
come in and say it's not amazing and
shut us down. That's what's really
519
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:11,240
me right now. Yeah.
520
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:12,480
If you shut this down... We're done.
521
00:41:13,060 --> 00:41:18,000
It's tough to put in all this work just
to have us go home because of just a
522
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
couple of mistakes.
523
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,920
Let's see.
524
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:30,500
All right.
525
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,500
I'm going to go deal with this guy, I
guess, now.
526
00:41:33,170 --> 00:41:34,910
Good luck. You guys can't film him.
Sorry.
527
00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:36,750
How you doing?
528
00:41:37,710 --> 00:41:38,710
We're winning.
529
00:41:39,070 --> 00:41:40,070
Want to go see?
530
00:41:41,450 --> 00:41:42,450
I'll walk with you.
531
00:41:42,830 --> 00:41:44,210
Just in case you got questions.
532
00:41:52,250 --> 00:41:53,250
I know, man.
533
00:41:53,770 --> 00:41:56,810
I'll be really, really... This is what
shut us down.
534
00:41:57,290 --> 00:41:58,410
I'm nervous as hell.
535
00:41:58,870 --> 00:42:01,530
You know, we've worked our asses off on
this.
536
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,700
I don't think there's really too much
more we could have done. I really don't.
537
00:42:06,940 --> 00:42:11,140
I mean, I really hate that our entire
season hangs in the balance.
538
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:13,520
Christmas, you know?
539
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,020
They're just standing there, chatting
and pointing it.
540
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,460
After an hour of walking this night, a
decision has been given.
541
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,280
Oh, my God.
542
00:42:30,529 --> 00:42:31,730
That sounds like disappointment.
543
00:42:32,230 --> 00:42:35,950
You took forever. That was the military
white glove inspection.
544
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:38,810
Really? You know, that was probably one
of the most stressful things I've gone
545
00:42:38,810 --> 00:42:41,730
through. It really felt like basic
training, and the drill sergeant
546
00:42:41,730 --> 00:42:42,730
sock drawer.
547
00:42:43,470 --> 00:42:50,190
There were some issues, but he is. We
pass.
548
00:42:50,910 --> 00:42:52,090
Pass. Good deal.
549
00:42:52,310 --> 00:42:52,859
We pass.
550
00:42:52,860 --> 00:42:54,740
Was he happy with it?
551
00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:58,440
He was extremely happy with our berms
and our roads. He thought they were
552
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,340
So essentially, we lived to fight
another day.
553
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,360
Let's get to it, and let's get some
gold.
554
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:06,860
That's a relief, man. That is a relief.
Hey, all you guys did it. All you guys
555
00:43:06,860 --> 00:43:08,240
did it. All three of you.
556
00:43:10,620 --> 00:43:14,480
It couldn't have gone any better. We've
got to get back to work. We're through
557
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,460
this hurdle, but you never know when you
can come back. We've got to keep it
558
00:43:17,460 --> 00:43:18,460
going.
559
00:43:30,410 --> 00:43:32,070
Am I doing it? Want some chips?
560
00:43:32,410 --> 00:43:33,410
Oh, no, thanks.
561
00:43:33,870 --> 00:43:37,250
In a week where Parker cranked up the
speed on the wash plant.
562
00:43:37,590 --> 00:43:38,670
Are you pushing dirt around?
563
00:43:39,150 --> 00:43:40,490
How's it going there, young man?
564
00:43:41,110 --> 00:43:42,110
Come on, Brad.
565
00:43:42,330 --> 00:43:45,350
It's time to find out if his decision
paid off.
566
00:43:47,770 --> 00:43:49,230
Hey, Mitchell. What's happening?
567
00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:50,828
Howdy, hi.
568
00:43:50,830 --> 00:43:54,370
I bet you were ready for that cigar
there after your day in the loader.
569
00:43:55,050 --> 00:43:59,450
It was fun getting back in the thing,
but I definitely know I've been in a
570
00:43:59,450 --> 00:44:00,450
machine. Oh, yeah.
571
00:44:01,070 --> 00:44:02,270
It was a bittersweet.
572
00:44:03,870 --> 00:44:05,810
I'd say we throw some gold on the
skills.
573
00:44:09,090 --> 00:44:10,130
Want to count out, Mitch?
574
00:44:10,390 --> 00:44:11,590
Yeah, I'll see what we got this week.
575
00:44:11,850 --> 00:44:12,850
Here we go.
576
00:44:15,770 --> 00:44:16,770
50.
577
00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:20,330
To hit Parker's 1 ,500 -ounce goal.
578
00:44:21,090 --> 00:44:22,090
150.
579
00:44:22,730 --> 00:44:26,390
Sluicifer needs to deliver 280 ounces a
week.
580
00:44:27,270 --> 00:44:29,210
280, 300,
581
00:44:30,210 --> 00:44:33,190
still got some in there, 330, 350,
582
00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:40,850
360, 376 .20.
583
00:44:42,550 --> 00:44:46,070
Worth $677 ,000.
584
00:44:47,350 --> 00:44:50,670
Wow, our best week. Yeah. Our best week
so far.
585
00:44:50,970 --> 00:44:51,970
Yes.
586
00:44:52,430 --> 00:44:55,570
I stand corrected. The best week so far.
587
00:44:55,870 --> 00:44:57,670
Yeah. Smoking week.
588
00:44:58,110 --> 00:45:00,790
Well, that just goes to show, more rocks
means more gold.
589
00:45:01,150 --> 00:45:07,650
For the season, we broke 1 ,032 .65
ounces. Very nice. Yeah.
590
00:45:07,890 --> 00:45:12,350
You look like an old bookie with that
thing. I'm still a pencil and paper kind
591
00:45:12,350 --> 00:45:13,350
of guy.
592
00:45:14,070 --> 00:45:15,070
I'm going to dinner.
593
00:45:15,130 --> 00:45:16,130
Good job, guys.
594
00:45:16,170 --> 00:45:18,870
Good job. Thank you. Thank you, sir.
595
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:22,140
I know it's not been fun, but we'll get
there.
596
00:45:22,460 --> 00:45:23,580
Things will settle down.
597
00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:24,940
Let's go to some dinner.
598
00:45:25,020 --> 00:45:28,580
Yeah. All right, I'll bag this stuff up.
Thank you, guys. You did a great job.
