The only thing we can do is just try to make as much money as we can and...
and have a good war chest built up. So, you start in Alaska.
After securing new ground in Alaska,
27-year old Parker Schnabel is heading back to the Yukon
with his season now resting on his deepest claim ever, Mud Mountain.
You know, this season we put a lot of our eggs in the Mud Mountain basket
and hopefully there's tons of gold in there.
Parker has gambled $4 million on the claim
and the team has already spent ten weeks tripping and prepping the site.
Everybody over there, they should be sluicing in Mud Mountain when I get back.
So, we'll see what ends up happening.
The strip cut is done and
we can get Big Red packed up, moved over to Mud Mountain.
Just one piece at a time here.
At Indian River, the moment the crew's been waiting for is finally here.
Wash plant, Big Red, is ready to take on Mud Mountain.
And here comes the trucks, so our timing's real good here.
Tests showed Mud Mountain could hold 8,000 ounces of gold
worth $14 million.
If Parker's new cut delivers,
it could be his biggest payday ever.
But so far...
What I'm seeing here, looks like *bleep*.
...all the pans have been poor.
Despite that, Parker's pushed ahead
determined to mine out the cut in just one season.
We've moved Big Red so many times
but this time is different.
We still gotta do a lot of maintenance on Big Red
once we get it over to Mud Mountain.
And we want this setup to be perfect.
It can't just be close. It's gotta be right on the money
because we're putting the best dirt we've ever seen through this wash plant.
Now, we're out here today,
well, it's kind of like a symphony of heavy machinery.
You just gotta have all the right pieces in the right place.
Otherwise, it's no good.
You know, down here in the good cut,
we're nearing the bitter end.
Four miles away, at the Promise Land,
plant boss Tyson Lee is down to the last of the pay in the good cut.
When we fire off Mud Mountain,
hopefully it frees up some more people but
you never know until you're into the thick of it.
We are close.
At the air strip,
Mitch's crew load the 50-ton, 21-foot high shaker deck onto a lowboy.
It looks like it might be a little bit heavy on the right side of the trailer here
but we won't know till we get it leveled out.
To deliver Big Red to Mud Mountain,
they'll have to haul it down an untested new road.
We'll just check the chains, make sure they're tight and we'll head over there,
get this thing put back together.
- All right, see you over there. - Let's do it.
Houdini himself couldn't have made that wash plant disappear that fast.
Let's get this thing headed over to Mud Mountain.
We're uh...
...heading over to what's supposed to be the best dirt we've ever put through it.
So, I'm really excited to see what it looks like.
That plane's really slant.
See how much that thing is leaning?
Now, this corner up here, it's going to really want to lean.
Don't stop on any corners which leans.
That thing's really slant.
He's got his hands full right now.
Oh.
She's leaning.
Go, Stevie, go. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Go. Don't stop.
They got it. They got the big lean there.
We could've gone a little bit more to your driver's side there.
We know for next time.
We made it.
And that's gotta be record time.
Everybody killed it today.
Good job.
They have so much maintenance to do on the plant
but, man, this is a big moment for the company.
Let's, uh, put her together and see what's in all this dirt.
- Let's do it. - Let's do it.
After failing to secure a license at Indian river,
King of the Klondike, Tony Beets, is gunning for a season total of 4500 ounces.
But his success relies on his only running wash plant Mike's trommel.
Tony Beets, do you copy? Tony Beets?
There is no pay.
Okay, sounds like a plan. Meet you there.
Can you shut it off, please?
This stuff was basically pure liquid mud.
Can't sluice like that.
Son, Mike, has run out of dry pay dirt from the wall cut again.
Tony has been battling the soggy cut for weeks.
Each time it floods, the gold-rich white channel pay dirt he's chasing
becomes too wet to run,
forcing Tony to deploy a fleet of excavators
to find a dry patch further from the plant.
I have no dry dirt to load trucks with
which kind of*bleep* sucks.
The weather being so *bleep*,
we keep having to hop from cut to cut
- Yeah. -'cause you know, one get full of *bleep* water,
we gotta go to another one.
Anyways, the excavators, rattling back and forth takes *bleep* forever.
So, we could speed that up a little *bleep* bit.
What's that?
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, that should be *bleep* stronger for anything we're gonna throw on there.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I see no reason why that shouldn't *bleep* work.
Sounds good.
Tony built the dolly to transport a 10-ton trommel
but it's never been used for a 78-ton excavator.
The concept:
Balance the excavator on the dolly.
Secure the bucket in a rock truck.
Then haul the excavator with the truck at up to 15 miles an hour.
More than five times its normal speed.
Righty-o.
Operator, Ruby Mahoney, brings in the rock truck.
Let's go.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh.
Do I still have a tailgate?
At Paradise Hill,
Tony is testing a dolly to haul excavators around the claim.
If it works,
he'll be able to move the machines to the pay dirt faster
and keep on the gold.
Daughter, Monica, brings in an older model of rock truck
without a tailgate.
Doing way better than I thought she was gonna.
Tony puts the dolly straight to work
hauling excavators around the cut
where they can start digging dry white channel pay to feed the trommel.
We've gotta find a way to squeeze some more gold out of this puppy.
And that's just gonna be refining our operation, learning from our mistakes
and getting better.
Special forces medic, Fred Lewis,
has invested his life's savings into a new mining operation in the Yukon.
But over half way through this season,
he's only sluiced for six weeks.
We're averaging about eight to nine ounces a week,
which honestly is nowhere near our goal.
We need to be pulling ten ounces a week.
So, in order for us to get to where we need to be,
to our minimum 100 ounce goal,
we're gonna have to pick it up somehow.
Right now, we're crawling.
We're gonna transition to a walk phase soon
but at the end of the season, we need to be running
and that's just the name of the game.
That's how gold mining goes.
Can't keep up? You get left behind.
The pressure that I feel to make this happen is immense.
Infantry scout sniper, Stuart McKenzie,
in his second season mining with Fred is digging out pay.
I've been working for pretty much 40 days straight.
What keeps me going for this whole amount of time
is people nowadays are working just to get by and that's not what I want for my family.
I can't express how much that this needs to pan out.
No pun intended.
It's been a long *bleep* shift.
Fred's son, Christopher Parker, who trained as a cavalry scout
trucks pay dirt to the ...
But, the one thing that motivates me with all of this
is just *bleep* get money 'cause without money, we can't do this.
I think morale amongst everybody is pretty good.
Special forces sergeant, Rick Douglas, feeds the plant.
The thrill behind it is, you work harder and
hopefully it pays off in the long run.
That's the gold fever and that's the rush from gold.
And no matter what gets in our way...
We'll be ready.
Over by the creek,
*bleep*
So many little wonky parts on this machine.
Fred's wife, Khara, is cleaning concentrate
from the wash plant's past week with a gold cube
to recover fine gold and nuggets.
Today I'm supposed to get this bucket
completely finished all the way through this cube.
Um...
Hopefully catch some gold in there but it's getting pretty clogged.
And that's not good. It's clogging this easy.
It's definitely not working the way it's supposed to.
When a cube gets clogged, there's nowhere for gold to settle.
And the gold washes back out into the river.
That's not good.
Our whole season rests on this little, frickin', jinky water pump,
jinky everything, I, I don't know.
It's just, it doesn't make sense. There has to be a better way.
It's losing half our gold.
I remember thinking it was slow last season and we had
not even a fraction of the amount of pay dirt that we're running this season.
I'm frustrated. I'm just going to take it. I'm going to turn it off.
I'm going to go talk to Fred.
because this doesn't work. There has to be a different solution.
Fred!
- Can we have a chat? - Of course we can.
- That gold cube, it's not going to cut it.
I'm barely putting anything in it and it's already clogged.
And it's like, tubes are falling out, the water pump's not working,
everything else, on top of the fact it's slow as hell.
- We're not doing that. - The problem is I spent most of our budget
getting the equipment that we need besides recovery because I figured we'd just
limp through the gold cube for the rest of the season.
But that's what you do and it doesn't work. Not everything works that way.
I'm running bare bones right now. These guys are buying
their own fuel and food, like, I'm not even providing any of that stuff.
See what you can find. Do the research, see what you can find,
as far as, some sort of better piece of equipment for me to use.
We'll go with the most cost effective and we might just have to
bite the bullet and finance a little bit more.
- It's getting me so nervous. - I know.
I just... God, it makes me sick.
You might not think it's in the budget, but we're going to have to
pull it out of somewhere and you're going to have to figure it out, like,
that's all we can do.
*bleep*
If we could get a good recovery system, that would boost our productivity,
and it's going to give us a lot more gold at the end.
Fred's headed to Dawson City on the hunt for a new gold table.
Uh, right now I'm on my way to see Joel.
Joel's the gentleman that fabricated our wash plant.
He's created a gold room, based on a recovery device called the...
It's a very good recovery system for this type of gold.
Right now, I'm worried about losing gold and that's what we're doing.
We need to up our game and our recovery.
It's going to save us an average of 20 hours every time we clean up.
And we're going to lose way less gold.
Always working, Joel, how you doing?
Yeah good, Fred, how you doing?
I was hoping I could get a look at that, uh,
gold recovery system you said you had.
Yeah, it's just over here. We can go have a quick look at it
Whoa! This is nice.
The custom-built gold recovery system was designed by a local miner
35 years ago.
Vibrating riffles and hydraulics separate gold from the concentrate.
Man, I'm going to tell you, this blows my mind,
at how efficient this could be.
Yeah, that self-feeding hopper makes it easy.
You just, you know, put four pails of dirt in it and, almost, walk away.
That is really cool.
It does look pretty expensive.
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of work hours in this thing and, you know,
- nice, brand new seed can. Fully, you know... - Yep.
Lights, heat, and it's, uh, priced accordingly so, cost figure, at a guess,
- give or take a few. - Yep.
- It'll be about 30 k. - Okay, all right. Well, I like what I've seen,
but, um, my budget's not huge, um, so that may be something we need to talk about.
I don't know if, maybe, we could work a deal out on some, kind of,
a royalty or a payment.
I don't know how you work, uh...
Yeah, I mean, possibly. I'm open to it. It would have to...
- be something we'd have to discuss. - Okay.
If Fred can land a deal, he'll need to return to Dawson City
with a trailer to collect the gold room.
I think the most important thing now is just to put my head together
on the budget and then we can go from there.
- Sounds good man. - Sweet, really appreciate your time.
- Pleasure doing business with you. - Yeah, I really do too.
Hopefully get back to work.
Now, the million dollar question.
Is there enough gold in this ground to make this cut worthwhile?
On Indian River, Parker's foreman, Mitch, and the rest of the crew
are eager to start chewing through pay dirt at Mud Mountain.
Well, we are ready to, finally, do this. We got Big Red setup here.
Here we go!
This is the first dirt from Mud Mountain going through Big Red.
Yeah, I don't know, if you're the first-year guy being tasked with
operating Big Red at, uh, with such high stakes at Mud Mountain here,
it's definitely stressful.
Rookie miner, Justin Fraser,
feeds the plant for the first time at Mud Mountain.
It's still running and we're making it work and, uh, so far so good.
We just got to keep it up.
It's super hectic and everybody is feeling the pressure.
Supposed to be a really rich cut so, hopefully,
it also lives up to that expectation.
It's a real good feeling. It's all hands on deck here.
You just got to act so fast because Parker's supposed to be back today.
It's been raining lots so, the road got super slick and gross and pot-holey
It definitely slows you down.
We're going in to Fall and, uh, conditions are getting pretty brutal.
That, along with Mud Mountain, and hauling out muddy pay all over the place.
*bleep* sake's,*bleep* mud.
Hey, Mitch, got a copy?
Yeah, man, what's going on?
Running some pretty sloppy material right now and I'm struggling
trying to get this pay through the plant.
Yeah, man, I know, it's nasty down here.
We're getting clogged up, it's making a mess everywhere.
- Well just hang tight. Give me a minute. - Copy that, thanks.
Shut it down.
Shut it down.
On Indian River, Mud Mountain is fighting back.
And Big Red is shut down.
Following heavy rainfall, mud is now sloughing down
the 60-foot high walls of the cut,
making the pay dirt on the floor, wet.
Parker is due to return any day.
Mitch moves fast to solve the problem, with operator, Shane Gallup.
We've got to fix the problem of the mud oozing out into the cut
and I think the only way to fix this issue is, dig some bedrock,
get the pay off the sides,
- and then we'll make a nice burn. - Yeah.
We'll catch that mud and then that way as we're digging
over on that side of it, it's just going to be nice, clean and dry.
Then this cut'll actually calm down
- and be a lot easier-- - You can actually move forward
- instead of two steps backwards. - Yeah.
Exactly
The sooner we get a wall in here, contain this mud away from
the center of the cut, the better off we're going to be.
To stop mud seeping into the cut, Mitch and Shane will use
two 480 excavators to shift the pay from the muddy edges.
Then, build a barrier to protect the cut from further sloughing.
Hello, Mitch?
Yeah, roger that.
So, lots of things stacked against us here.
And when it rains, well, all that mud makes a mess.
And that's what we're dealing with right now.
Just trying to get a handle on it.
- Ooh.
Yeah, we got a problem here.
- Right now, the bucket should be lowering. -*bleep*
And it's not.
Come on, baby.
What that tells me is we have an issue with our accumulator.
When these go flat, machine can act really erratic because it doesn't have
a nice, smooth, constant, uh, pressure.
So, we're going to grab an accumulator and, uh, swap it out on this thing
and see if it fixes it's problem here.
Mitch's only hope of drying out the cut,
and getting Big Red running before Parker returns,
rides on finding a replacement part in the boneyard.
If this accumulator fixes our problem, this is going to be great.
But, if it doesn't fix our problem,
we're going to have to dive in deeper.
So, what I've got here is the accumulator
and this helps keep your hydraulics stabilized.
So, we're going to spin this guy off here
and, uh, we're going to take it over to the other machine,
change it out, to get us back going here.
Surprising the difference that such a small piece can make.
And something we've learned over the years, if this isn't right, uh, well
you're going to wish it was.
Here we go.
Really hoping this fixes all of our problems here.
We will find out.
That's more like it!
We got it.
You know, Mud Mountain's been a struggle from the start
and I am, uh, probably, more mentally drained than I am physically here,
just trying to keep the train on the tracks.
And we're done here.
We've taken the bedrock here, we've built this berm
and the whole length of this, it's holding all this mud back,
which is working really well.
Out here, the cut, it's nice and mud free.
So, probably should have been done a lot sooner.
But better late than never.
Mitch has that Berm all finished up which means trucks are hauling up
much drier material here for us to sluice.
Definitely makes things easier up here at Big Red.
What's happening, man?
Glad you're back.
- This looks good. - We've been busy, man.
Looks like that.
Well, we were able to finish the airstrip while you were away.
So, that's all done.
We got some Mud Mountain pay dirt
- going through Big Red. - Good.
All right, well, I mean, I'm here, is there anything I can do to help out?
Well, right now we're supposed to have our night shift here and we have no operator so,
I was going to run back to camp and see if they slept in or where they're at.
All right, I can hop in until they show up.
Man, if you can keep the plant running, that would be awesome.
No worries, um, hope they didn't pull a runner.
- Good to see you. - You too.
Here we go.
It feels good to be back, you know, I need to be making money because
most of our costs this year are in Mud Mountain
and we're going to find out if she pays off.
- How you been? - Good, man, good.
Fred Lewis has returned to Dawson City
with local operator, Buzz Legault,
to collect a custom-built gold room,
which he's agreed to rent for $10,000.
Can open her up and see what we're looking at.
Yeah, this is that new car smell.
Heck yeah, it's ready to roll.
All right, let's get her done.
Sweet, let's get her done.
All right, it's up.
All right, Buzz, if I say stop, stop immediately please.
All right, moving.
Here we go.
Hold it up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Crossing under the wires now. You're good.
If you could come three inches, three inches.
Right there.
Right there.
That's it.
It's a little ass heavy.
It's freaking me out too.
That's not good.
*bleep*
This thing weighs so much, as it pushed down
it's lifting up our trailer hitch.
Fred Lewis is preparing to transport a three and a half ton,
custom built gold room to California Creek.
Looking at this trailer hitch, there's almost no weight on it.
I can lift it with two fingers, I can lift the entire trailer
so, there's a severe imbalance.
Enough that if we're driving and this latch decides not to work,
poof, gold room's gone and, uh, if we lose the gold room
we're not getting it back, so...
We just got to figure out how we're going to make sure it's secure.
- He's had an idea. - What you got?
It's a good idea.
To balance the container, Fred and Joel remove the headache rack,
a frame between the cab and the trailer.
Okay, let it come down.
Whoa!
Okay, you're up.
Okay, let me know when to stop.
I think we're good, man.
It's definitely got a tongue weight.
Well, it's up to you guys. Chain it down and I'll leave you guys to that because--
- Yep, you got it. Thanks, Joel. - No worries.
- Thanks, bud. - We'll be talking soon, eh?
- Yeah, we'll see you soon. - Talk to you later.
Chain, check. Chain, check. Chain, check. And chain, check.
Check.
If this thing falls off or if anything it's not because
we didn't put enough chains on it.
You ready?
- I'm ready. - All right, let's do this.
- Let's rock this *bleep*. - I'm gonna pucker the whole time.
Fred and Buzz,
must now cross the Yukon River
and drive the finely
calibrated gold room
over 40 miles up the top of the world highway
to California Creek.
I don't like getting on this little boat
with this big truck.
Stay steady now.
I'm excited to set this thing up though, man, because
it's gonna up our recovery rate by probably 30
or 40 percent.
So the gold room's essential for our success.
Oh, no.
Man, this thing has shifted.
We're right here on the edge if this thing shifts
any more and it comes off
the weight would be balanced really horribly and this thing could tip.
So it's shifted about that much.
We'll just tighten this one up
and keep on going, man.
And we're almost there.
That's right.
Tighten this chain to make sure it's as tight as it can be.
So hopefully, it won't shift any more 'cause if
it falls off *bleep*.
So now I guess we're going slower.
Buzz, this truck sounds like a train.
It sounds like it's about to explode.
I'm nervous, man.
Let's hope it doesn't bounce off the hitch.
Well, the next part is that steep downhill.
Once off the highway
they have to navigate a 2.5 mile
dirt trail down to the plain.
You sure it's gonna stay on that trailer, right?
Oh, it's gonna stay on the trailer.
- We just-- - Not sure this
trailer's gonna stay on the track.
Ugh.
Holy *bleep*.
*bleep* this road.
Thank God, we made it.
Made it through the hardest part.
Ah, whew.
Okay, I'm gonna breathe now.
- Whew. - Never mind.
You've got balls, man.
But this fantastic. Yeah, we're gonna get
this thing probably tonight.
I'll get set up on my shift.
It'll be perfect, dude. I think that
we're not going to be losing gold for one,
it's gonna break our clean up time from 22 hours to about 2.
- Yeah. - So that's huge.
And, uh,
it's on now.
If there's gold here it's going
though this it's gonna be caught.
- Yeah.
One more step.
Good job, dude.
At Paradise Hill,
Tony Beets is running gold rich
white channel pay
through his only working wash plant.
This is Kevin, this is Kevin.
On six.
I don't know they never told me why it's on six.
The feeder is running 200 yards of pay an hour.
To stay on target
Tony needs at least 350.
Hey, Dad.
Um...
Get more pay to the plant.
You gotta a bit of a bottleneck right there when they come up the hill.
Maybe put another road in?
Well you have a hillside right next to it.
You can make a road right down on that side.
So they can come up that one,
dump, and then drive right down the other one.
They don't have to do no hard turns.
Faster the trucks get here
the faster they can put the breaker down.
Sounds like a plan.
If I, uh, fix this bottleneck here
this will solve our problem with a trucks not being able to pass.
A bottleneck in the road is slowing down
Tony's trucks.
Preventing them from delivering pay to the plant quickly.
And forcing the crew
to run the plant
at a slower speed.
Mike's solution?
A new road
and a one way system.
So by making two roads
one where they always go up and one where they always go down.
Should have a nice road and settle the bottleneck.
So hopefully that'll help
get more and more pay to the plant so we can
start sluicing at a proper speed.
Beautiful.
The more we turn up the feeder the more yardage
we're gonna run through the trommel.
And that at the end of the day
equals more gold in the box.
So let's turn the *bleep* plant up.
There we go up to a *bleep* ten.
What do you think, Chris?
On Indian River,
Mitch has shut down Big Red
after its first week running
at Mud Mountain.
We got a little bit of gold here.
- Real chunky. - Did you?
That's looking pretty good, man.
It's doing its job.
There is some gold in it.
I'd say we clean it, see what we got.
Yeah, for sure.
- Let's get her washed in and we'll fire it back up. - Yep.
- All righty, sounds like a plan, man. - Good.
- This is it. - Oh, this looks pretty good.
- Right? - This is better when I thought that
we're gonna get some janky rickety thing.
- Come on, babe. - Babe, it's you.
At California Creek,
Fred shows Khara their new gold room.
The system that will save them time
and increase their gold recovery.
So I just dump it in there.
- Yep. - Full on.
Full on dump her.
Concentrate from the plant is fed into the hopper.
A vibrating screen that separates out waste material.
Then the concentrate flows over hydraulic riffles
with a pulsating base.
Which traps the gold.
Now literally all you do,
stand here, turn on the centrifuge,
watch those red bars.
All right, so that's pretty much it.
So you got it?
Why don't you go ahead and run the rest of that material.
Yeah.
Steady feed.
Do what you were taught and you're good to go.
Run the rest of that.
All right.
Love you.
I'm really excited about the new machine.
I think Fred did an awesome job getting it.
This is definitely what we needed.
It's an entire shift I'm gonna save every single day.
I couldn't be more thrilled about it.
All right, guys. This is a big week.
We had Khara in the gold room this week.
So we'll probably have a little bit
more gold than last time.
It looks good.
Looks really good.
You guys ready for some weights?
- Oh yeah. - Yeah.
To reach his season goal of 100 ounces,
Fred needs 10 ounces a week.
One,
two, three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
nine,
ten,
- Oh. - eleven.
11.48.
- All right. - Holy *bleep*
Worth over $20,000
almost double
their entire season total last year.
Khar, I saw a nuggie in there.
Yeah, that's, that...
- Yeah. I heard it. - That cool clunk that hit there.
Like right off the bat.
Oh yeah. Look at that.
It's 11.48.
So we're getting there.
We're getting there.
We're getting gold consistently now.
We're dialing in our operation.
We're getting more efficient as a team.
So I think our gold count's
gonna keep going up.
- All right, guys. - We should put this back in there.
You came, you saw gold, now get back to work.
Good job team.
Yep.
After we cleared up that bottleneck
Mike pointed out.
Get the trucks *bleep* zoom, zoom, zoom, zooming.
Yep.
And then you noticed
that the excavators take too long to go from
crack to cut to cut to crack.
Oh, we've got to charge
the dolly out.
Yeah.
- That's fun. - That was fun.
How about we weigh all that gold up
because I want to see what you did.
To reach his season goal
of 4,500 ounces.
Tony needs
290 ounces a week.
The King of the Klondike
is hoping the white channel
pay hot streak continues.
Let's, let's do this thing.
60, 80,
100,
150, 160,
200, 240, 250,
260,
280,
300,
313.70.
Worth over $560,000
it's their highest weekly total so far this season.
*bleep* yeah.
Maybe we can reach our season
- total yet.
Yeah.
Yay.
- What up, what up?
- Hey, Mitch. - Howdy.
- Hey, man. - How's it going?
Welcome back, young man.
At Scribner Creek,
it's time to
find out if Mud Mountain
has finally delivered.
But first,
the final gold from the good cut on the promised land.
You've been on sluicing for all week then.
- Yes, sir. - This is it.
T-bird, you ready?
Here we go, last of the good cut
hopefully, it paid off.
20, 40, 80, 120,
150, 180, 200,
- Oh, yeah. - 260. Yeah, keep her coming.
300,
310,
317.4.
Very nice.
Worth $570,000.
I should leave again.
It's a good run.
That's a really good run, yeah,
Next up,
the first Mud Mountain gold.
You look at all the troubles we've had
to get to this point, I mean,
all the hours we put on the dozers.
Everything it took to get all that mud moved.
We got Big Red over there set up.
Finally got some pay gravels through it.
Was there any gold in it?
Well, here you go want to count it?
Yeah, what do we got here?
Parker is hoping
that Mud Mountain will deliver 10 ounces per hour of run time.
Five times, what he usually
gets from his other Indian River cuts.
All right.
40,
- 60, - It wasn't very full.
I don't like your angle that you're already at.
- Uh-oh. - Yeah.
100,
120,
160,
165.45.
Worth almost
$300,000.
Well that's not bad actually considering how much bull*bleep* we ran.
Yeah, I mean that's over
2 ounces an hour for the week.
But, I mean, is it five times better?
We won't know until we get into the heart
of it a little bit.
I mean, for an initial run?
Not bad if we didn't have to move 60 feet
of mud, it'd be great.
- You know, but... - It's not a bad first clean up then.
So hopefully next week it's a little bit better.
Yeah.
Let's hope so.
But actually we had
482 ounces for the week.
- That's not bad at all. - No.
And for our season total now it's 4,251.
So we're getting there, obviously,
behind last season, but
let's not worry about last season.
Let's worry about this season, and...
Yeah.
...just get what we can get.
That's a lot of gold we're gonna have to find
- in a short period of time. - Yeah.
Well, it should be at the mountain.
According to jewelry reports, there should be a ton of gold in there.
Literally, a ton.
- Yeah?
We're all retiring after
- this cut. - Yeah.
All right, well...
Okay.
We'll do it all again.
Well done, man.
T-Dog?
Go have some dinner.
- What's up, Dozer? - Oh, yeah.
Thanks Doumitt. See you, Parker.
- See you guys. - Later.
