Well, I really thought that
we'd have a thousand ounces

at this point in the
season and we're, like,

I think a fifth of that or something.

Gold production has
just been basically zero.

10,000 ounces is not
looking very good right now,

not gonna lie.

Parker schnabel is in uncharted territory.

He's off to his worst start
to a season in 10 years.

Seven weeks in, he has just 364 ounces

of his 10,000 ounce gold.

There's just a mountain of problems

and zero revenue

and money going out the door like crazy.

I really don't know how to UN this.

Parker is chasing a potential

$200 million in gold at dominion.

But decoding the 7,500-acre claim

is proving tougher than expected.

Right now, we're dealing

with a whole bunch of teething issues.

And basically,

dominion has been
sort of kicking our ass.

We need to figure out the ground.

Parker is throwing

a quarter of a million dollars a week

into finding dominion's best gold

and needs to bring in 100 ounces a week

just to keep the lights on.

The one cut he's sluicing, the long cut,

is paying out poorly,

so he's feverishly
stripping two more cuts.

The bridge pit is nearly ready.

And Ken and Stuart's
is nowhere near ready.

Two to three weeks most likely.

With only one option available,

Parker plans to sluice
the bridge cut next,

which he's praying
will deliver better gold.

I am gonna go straight
to Tyson and Mitch.

They're the ones that are
the best at getting plants

up and rolling and, you
know, get them fired up

and keep them fired up

and get some gold coming in.

Parker's want to hit that 10,000 ounces.

A lot's gotta happen here

in a very short period of time.

Foreman Mitch blaschke

is running pay from the long cut

through wash plant Roxanne.

The long cut has been very difficult

when you look at the
sluicing sampling of it

because it's so narrow and so long.

It's definitely not the
way we like to do cuts.

You know, it was great when
we were stripping the ground

but, you know, not so much
now that we've gotta sluice it.

We have a mountain of work to do.

- Time to make some money.
- Yeah.

- You're telling me.
- Yeah.

That's part of the reason

why I wanna come talk to you.

So big red needs to fire up.

But, like, there's good material

coming out of the
ditches and the bridge cut,

and that all needs to go to big red.

The bridge cut now needs

a spot for a plant pad figured out.

And I really think the best thing is

for one of you two -to spin out of here...

Yeah.

And build the plant
pad and the bridge cut.

- Do you have a preference?
- I don't care what I do.

I mean, Tyson really likes
setting up the plant, so.

It should be Tyson then, right?

Yeah.

4,000 feet away from
the 20-acre long cut

sits Parker's 114-acre bridge cut.

Parker wants to truck ditch dirt

from the bridge cut to
big red's current location

one mile away and sluice immediately.

At the same time,

Tyson will build a new 60-foot high pad

for big red nearer to the bridge cut pay.

Once the pad's completed,
Tyson must drag big red

from its old pad to its new location

and be sluicing by the end of the week.

I mean, it's crunch time right now.

Parker wants to get sluicing
and have some money coming in

that's not just from the long cut.

So we're out here truckin'

ditch material all the way to big red.

Earlier in the season,

Parker ran long cut ditch dirt for a week.

They delivered a pathetic 30 ounces.

Now, he's praying for a better result

from the bridge cut.

In previous years,

we have sent a lot more
ditch material out of the cut

just because it didn't
have enough gold in it

to make it worth runnin'.

But since the high gold prices this year,

might as well take a
chance at some ditch material

that we don't know what's in it

and hope for the best.

Do I remember how to start this?

Yes, that's on.

In charge of firing up

and feeding big red, the
ditch pay, Tatiana cost a.

Ready to fire up?

Let's do it. Okay.

So let's fire it up.

So here we are at bridge cut.

I'm just about to throw
the first bucket of big red.

We are now sluicing two plants.

Big red has to be
moved to the bridge cut.

If we don't finish this pay pile

before Tyson's ready for us,

it's just gonna be left here
and it'll be a waste of pay,

and we can't really afford that.

There's something really...

Something really wrong with the plant.

Hey, Alec, you got a copy, Alec?

The plant's making a really weird noise.

I need you to come here right now.

We have no time to
be stopping right now.

Okay. Let's take a look at this.

What the hell? The spring broke.

We need to have this
deck shaking evenly

across all four corners.

And if we've got a
dead spring on one side,

we effectively got a dead corner,

and then one side of
the deck sitting down,

the other deck Springs break in turn

and sort of a chain reaction.

Big red's shaker deck
sits on eight Springs.

One has broken,
triggering an imbalance,

putting big red at risk
of shaking itself apart.

We got a new spring here

that I'm just fitting in to the shaker,

then we'll be back online
once this is installed.

Okay.

Gotten this new spring in.

Get out of here.

Come on.

There we go. Boom.

New Springs installed.

Let's take the Jack out here.

Like that.

Woo-hoo. And firing back up.

All right, Tatiana.

Everything looks good, back online.

Awesome, Alec. Thank you very much.

Get the shaker spinnin'.

We're back on the sluice.

Back on the gold.

After just two hours of downtime,

big red is back, washing ditch dirt.

We're ready to finish this pay pile.

While Tyson works on
the bridge cut's new pad.

We just gotta get big red moved up here

onto this pad, get pay stockpiled.

So the fire is officially lit
under my ass right now.

Rally valley has been
fighting us tooth and nail,

but we finally got
dirt out of it, you know,

monster red's up and running.

We just did, you know,
over a 300-ounce cleanup

by the first run which is amazing.

And, you know, this is
what we've been waiting for.

Just always gotta keep
it running, keep it going,

get gold coming in.

Rick ness is racing
to mine out rally valley,

which holds the richest pay of his career.

Three days of sluicing

has paid out 318 ounces of gold,

a fifth of his 1,500-ounce target.

I knew the dirt was good but, you know,

until you see it, there's
always that feeling

of, you know, "is it there? Is it not?"

It took us a while to get here

but everybody's fought hard for it,

everybody's worked hard,

and that's where we're at now.

Now we just start watching
the fruits of our labor

add up in the jar.

But Rick needs more big paydays

as water license problems

mean it could be his last
season at Duncan creek.

To make matters
worse, the clock is ticking

on rally valley's gold,

as groundwater gradually
seeps into the cut,

threatening to flood it out.

We've been busy slamming the dirt

through this plant.

Really nice getting some
gold in the box for Rick.

Everyone's happy.

Rick's got a smile on his face again,

so we're all glad to see that.

I know our goal of 1,500 ounces

is definitely achievable if this ground

is as rich as Rick thinks it is.

Chasing a big reward
comes with a big risk.

Rick's crew is 160 feet down,

deeper than they've ever been before.

So, like, when I'm digging into it,

you know, I'm not gonna
dig the harder material there,

just take away the fluffier stuff from it.

I don't want to undermine the bank here

and then have a cave
in, so it's just, you know,

take what's slid in and that's it.

Now we're holing out of this corner

where there's been a
lot of slides right now,

so it's important we get it out

because we need to get
the gold that's underneath it

but it's also one hell of a sketchy area.

Yeah, go for Rick.

What are you talking about?

All right.

Stay safe, get the out of there.

I'll be right over.

This is not good.

Holy man. That is a lot of water.

At his Duncan creek claim,

Rick ness is battling a flood

in his gold-rich rally valley.

Hey, guys. You got a copy?

Let's shut down monster red right away.

Yup. On it.

Rick wants to shut the plant down,

so we better shut down

and figure out what the problem is.

So yeah, we got a major problem.

All of our sluice water is backing up

and seeping right back into rally valley.

And it's flooding fast.

And if it just keeps filling up like that,

we're gonna lose the rest of
the pay down in rally valley.

Yeah.

I've got to get that water
directed to a safe spot.

- Yeah.
- And we've got to get our pump down there

because it's filling up fast.

And we've got to get that drained out.

- All right. Cool.
- We'll see.

Thanks guys.

Wash plant monster red

sits above the east side of rally valley,

300 feet away from
the edge of the pit's wall.

Sluice water from the plant
has traveled down the valley,

seeped into the wall,

collapsing it, and flooding the cut.

Rick's plan?

Move his only working pump,

currently feeding sluice
water to monster red

1,000 feet to rally valley.

Drain the cut of all the water

down to the remaining 10 feet of pay,

then haul out and stockpile
all the remaining pay

down the bedrock

before he's able to start sluicing again.

Let's go.

Yeah. I mean, we're trying to cut a step.

We didn't wanna take the suction line off.

So yeah, there's some
weight and stress on that bar.

Sure it'll be a little nerve-wracking

on the way down as it is

the only pump we
actually have right now.

Watch your heads.

Look at that.

Pump her up, buddy.

The 8-inch pump

drains 3,000 gallons of water a minute.

Within 24 hours,

Rick should be back
on his best ever goal.

Well, we got the pump
going, which is good.

We got to get the rest of
the pay out of rally valley,

but I'm feeling the stress right now.

I mean, we need that pay.

We got to get it out before it's unsafe.

And we just got to get a move on.

We got to go.

Our goal is you get 1,000 ounces.

We are making progress there.

We're just nowhere near
where I would like to be.

We still have a lot of ground to open up.

We still gotta get the plant over.

We still have to get the equipment

so it will run consistently.

Like, there's a lot of

we've got to deal with right now.

Even after his dad, Tony,

set him up with leased
ground and free equipment,

rookie mine boss, Kevin beets,

is still not on the gold

and quickly burning
through his life savings.

It's always stressful when
you're spending money

after, you know, nothing coming in

and you know there's a
lot of big bills coming up.

But I can't let that get to me.

Otherwise, I'll spend more time worrying

than dealing with it.

The goal this week is we
wanna get down to a pay.

That is where we wanna
be end of the week.

Kevin wanted to be
washing pay two weeks ago,

but has been battling delays.

In his lynx cut,

it has taken six weeks
of ripping and stripping

to remove only 20 feet of overburden

in just 3 acres of the cut.

Kevin's crew still has 2 feet
to clear before they hit pay,

and he wants it done
by the end of the week

so they can finally start sluicing.

What's been keeping me up lately

is the struggle to try and
reach 1,000-ounce goal

on the first season

with a small crew and old equipment.

And it is gonna be a feat to get there,

so I had Matt and Ashley get on.

I worked with them last year up here.

We were mining at another mine site.

I've just shown up

and I'm excited to go move some dirt

and get us closer to getting some gold.

So it's gonna be a good day.

To get on the gold faster,
foreman Brennan ruault

has enlisted Matt kiefer's fiancee,

experienced operator, ash Phillips.

I can't wait until we get that first gold

out of the ground.

Like, you've put in all the hard work

and then you see that
gold for the first time.

It's like, "okay. It was worth it."

This is my first year
with Kevin, obviously,

but this is my fifth year in the Yukon.

Brennan called me.

He needed a set of hands

to help out Kevin and faith

and I figured it was a good time

to get on the road

and come see my fiance, Matthew,

who's been up here for quite a while.

Fancy seeing you up here.

Do you come up here often?

Like to see you more often.

Gold mining, I find, isn't for anyone,

but if you take the good with the bad...

It's one of the greatest careers

you could ever have.

I'm, like, trying to get better

at not letting stress eat me alive

because that's not good for anybody.

It is pretty intense at times

especially when you got
breakdown after breakdown

and on top of all that and a small crew.

The sun is thawing stuff out

and making a sloppy mess

that we're having a
hard time getting through.

20-year-old operator hunter canning

has been trucking
overburden out of the lynx cut

for the last four weeks.

This truck is really not in good shape.

It's struggling.

Hopefully we just get dry weather

and it stays like that,
so it's not so brutal.

Matt and I got hired
out to get the dirt moved

and the sooner we get sluicing,

the happier we'll all be.

I have to watch out
for the other operators.

The main thing here is
not beating the iron up,

so we can keep running it.

Of the gears.

We really gotta be gentle with them.

That really pissed me off.

What's up?

So do you know why you're
having such a hard time?

- Where?
- Do you... Do you know?

I'm asking you.

It is like they're waiting
for no, but I asked you

and you didn't know the answer.

I'm trying to help you here
and you're talking over me.

- As adults...
- Yeah.

I'm gonna get irritated, okay?

Literally disrespectful as hell.

It's not fun to work with whatsoever.

What the is going on?

Over the radio and nobody getting along?

Seriously, let me speak.

When is she gonna get
reprimanded for her bull?

You're gonna get reprimanded for your

I haven't done anything.

Yelling and screaming to other people.

I was nothing but polite.
Honestly, Brennan,

I was talking to her exactly

like I'm talking to you right now.

And I was just like, "hey sister,

I'm trying to help you."

You don't even understand.

Like honestly, to paint that out to be like

I was being a absolutely just untrue.

I'm the one that has to figure this out,

deal with it because

I think you have enough on your plate.

And so, I just really feel bad for you.

I appreciate that,

but I need to deal with this, nobody else.

Okay? I've had people feel unwanted,

then their work quality turns.

I've seen it all, I've been there,

I've done that, and I
don't want to deal with it.

I want this squashed right now.

Every season, I go through
a little phase of panic.

It's always kind of
the same circumstance

where you have a
whole bunch of projects

that are kind of halfway done.

And we're just coming
into panic season for me.

It's a big machine
that needs a lot of fuel.

Fuel being money.

On dominion,

Parker's battling to rescue his season.

Roxanne is running
pay dirt from the long cut,

desperate for some income

and with gold prices at an all-time high,

Parker's sluicing low-grade ditch pay

from the bridge cut trucked to big red.

You know, we just finished off

your wash plant pad and
so we got to move big red.

Tyson can finally move
big red to the bridge cut.

So right now, we're gonna
have to shut the plant down,

but this is the blast
scoop here at big red.

No time like the present?

We need to get the
sluice box cleaned up,

emptied out so Tyson can move it,

get it down to the new site,

so we can put it back together again.

So everybody's in a
bit of a hustle right now.

At the bridge cut, Tyson spent two days

building big red's new plant pad.

All right, Tyson. You're all set, buddy.

- All righty.
- Get her done, young man.

Thanks.

This is gonna be damn near

one of the fastest plant
moves we've ever done.

If we can get it done.

You know, we have a
lot to do. Moving big red.

It's not moving a short distance.

Everything's got to line up perfectly today

or we're not gonna be sluicing.

So Tyson called me and basically said,

"get up here. We're moving
big red and we're in a panic

and we're short guys."

So here I am and him
and I work well together.

So we got today to move it.

To help, Tyson's called in

his old boss and mentor, Mike tupper.

Tyson had a dream of going gold mining

and here he is and now,
I guess he's the boss

and I'm his little kid.

So just swing straight this way.

Lift up.

And now, we're just lifting the
sluice runs away from big red.

Once the kenworth can back
under them, drop them down.

We'll chain it down.

Then tupper will go, hook up to the plant.

He'll drag the plant.

Once we get the plant
in, the sluice runs in,

we'll come back for the feeder.

And then we'll play reassembly up there.

Big red needs to be
moved in three pieces,

one mile across the bridge cut

to the top of its new plant pad.

Then assembled and fired
up by the end of the day.

Don't break it.

All right. Here we go.

To save time,

Tyson sends the sluice
runs on a lowboy to the pad,

while tupper drags big red in the 750.

Right now we have big red on the move.

Turn to your right now, tupper, hard right.

All right. I'm through the cut

and I'm just coming up upon the ramp.

This ramp's really narrow.

I got to stay right in the center.

Here we go. Here we go.

That was close.

I thought I was going over for sure.

- See you when.
- Hey.

Tyson's just checking right now

to see if this plant is level.

Done? Bingo, first shot, love it.

The wash plant's level,

now we got the sluice runs in place.

So we're gonna go work on the feeder.

The last piece to be hauled in,

the hopper feeder on a lowboy.

So right now we're
trying to get the hopper out

and it's pretty stuck.

Roll excavators are way too far away

and we gotta get this
thing moved and running.

The hopper's 80-ton lowboy

is stuck in the soft mud.

To free it and get it moving,

Tyson attaches a chain
to his loader to tow it out.

One, two, three.

Piece of junk.

Just broke one chain.

I got a plan here.

Two half-inch chains both sides.

So right now, I really
don't have time for this.

We need to be up at the wash plant,

not trying to get a feeder unstuck.

- Are you ready, tupp?
- Go for it.

One, two, three.

There we go.

Slow, looking good, keep going.

Go, go, go.

That's good. Right there, right there.

Feeder free,

tupper speeds to big red's new plant pad

in the bridge cut.

Start cutting.

Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's good.

All right. Thanks for your help, tupp.

Couldn't have done it without you.

All right. Good, man.

Well, you know, we just got

pretty much everything done here.

Tyson fires up big red.

This is nice?

And Parker's crew

are now sluicing pay from two cuts.

Yeah.

Yeah, guys, just do what you got to do

to get out of there as quick as possible.

Get the rest of that pay,
stay away from that wall,

and just get the hell out of
there as quick as you can.

At rally valley, Rick's crew are in a rush

to dig down to bedrock

and stockpile all of its gold-rich pay

before the cut floods again.

Finally got the water down again

starting to hold pay at the rally valley.

We're trying to get as fast as we can

and get all this pay out.

It's probably one of the hardest cuts

that I've ever done.

You know, this thing just
keeps throwing curve balls.

It's definitely getting a
little bit unsafe every day

more and more we're down here.

We've got a small crew

but the small crew that we have,

they bust their ass.

But yeah, today it's
everybody's hands on board.

I manage Rick's mine.

I do everything from paying the bills,

the payroll, fuel, logistics,

every aspect of the mining operation

except for digging the actual pay.

With Rick's best pay at risk

of another landslide or flood,

he's brought in logistics
manager Jason folster

to drive one of his three rock trucks

and get to the pay faster.

The mining lifestyle,

it was just something that fit.

For me, doing this work

doesn't even feel like a job.

It's just... it's just
a way of life for me.

My gosh.

My gosh.

Damn it.

Ryan, we got a tire blown here.

I'm gonna need a help.

At rally valley, Rick is down a rock truck

in the race to haul out gold-rich pay.

Park it right there.

It's a costly loss.

Should've stayed in the office.

Yeah. So right now, we've
got a flat tire and a rock truck

terrible timing because we're trying to get

all the pay out of rally valley.

The walls are coming down.

If we don't get it all out of there

before it comes really unsafe,

then we're not gonna get it
and we can't have that happen.

Let's get it up.

I don't wanna have to take the wheel off.

- So if we can get it up...
- Yeah, that's what you

let's just pop this out.

Basically that tire, it's gonna come off.

Yeah.

Slide the new one on,

lube the out of it with wd-40,

- anything you can get.
- Yeah.

Boss, you wanna bring the 700 over

so we can yank it off?

The 700 excavator has
a pull force of 350 tons.

Where's that beauty?

I believe we could get this
tire changed in about an hour,

but that's still gonna hurt.

Do we have any of that tire lube?

No, but I would prefer dish soap.

That slick as with water.

- I'm gonna put some on there.
- Yup.

That ought to be good.

Ryan, Jason, and Kyle

push the half ton new tire on.

- Keep going. Keep going.
- Get it.

She's on.

We're back. All of our rock
trucks running, which is good.

We still got a lot of pay
to get out of rally valley,

so we can't relax just yet.

We've had a lot of delays

and, we really can't afford

too many more at this point.

Eventually that piggybank does run dry.

I'd like to see gold come
in before that happens.

All these things are just delays.

We really need to get sluicing

as soon as possible.

Kevin beets is fixing up his wash plant

in preparation to run pay,

but his crew are at each other's throats.

I got ringed out my ass for...

From what I know nothing I'd done.

She comes to me to
try to somehow help me

when I didn't really need help.

I'm hoping it gets better

because I'm at the point right now

where it's a hostile environment.

I don't know why I'm being painted out

to be like a because believe me,

if I didn't have a cool head that day,

the world would have known about it.

It's very frustrating for me to deal with

because I have so many
million things on my mind.

I want everybody to be professional,

not work against one another, you know?

That's what kills the
morale in a crew immediately

is when people start
working against each other.

She just stopped and then
on her phone again or what?

You wanna get off that phone

and get that truck and gear, hunter?

Kevin has heard enough
and calls in Brennan.

Kevin's operation has
ground to a halt yet again.

The game will be over
if this keeps happening.

I don't give a.

I have to send everybody
home or just one person

but I'm not putting up
with this stupid anymore.

So what's the side of the
story that I need to hear

because I've just had it.

I've had it too. I was not on my phone.

I did this and I was picking my nails

and he said he's seen me with a phone.

They're nitpicking everything I do,

trying to get me in trouble.

We're not in high school.

I want a well-oiled team.

We're gonna solve this.
We're gonna go down

and we're gonna talk it out right now.

We aren't gonna get to
1,000 without everyone here.

So I've had a chance
to let all you guys vent,

listen to every side of the story.

So if we can apologize to each other

and try to say that we're gonna move on.

The other day when I pulled you over,

like I got to ask you,
like, was I actually a

because I thought I was very sweet.

- Yeah. You were very rude.
- Well...

It does get a little frustrating

when you do talk over me

because my intentions were good

and with all due respect, hunter

yeah, 'cause everybody's seen that,

you going off on me right out, right?

I didn't go off.

Please, I asked to not get fired up, right?

It's out in the air what's
pissed everybody off.

- Am I right?
- Yup.

'Cause I don't want
this thing to continue.

We're gonna start this over

as if it's a new day right now.

Like I wanna squashed now.

If we need to talk and
there's a problem, come to me.

I will deal with it.

All I'm asking is if we
can become a team again.

Can we just apologize?

My intentions were good

and I apologize if I came off wrong.

Hunter, I'm sorry.

And I'm never meant to be a.

I'm not trying to attack you,

but I'm trying to help you.

And I know it didn't
come across that way.

Well, I'm sorry for saying stop being a.

- Yeah.
- You good?

I thank you guys for
apologizing to each other.

Okay. Let's go kick some ass.

Hopefully, we'll get the gold.

Yeah.

What's the word? Get everyone sorted?

Yeah, I let everybody vent.
We come down and said,

"I want everybody to apologize

and become a team again."

I said, "if there's any
problems, you talk to me."

You don't take it upon yourselves

- "to bull this bull."
- Perfect. Perfect.

And they said they all agreed to it.

I feel that they got the point,

but we'll just have to wait and see.

I think you handled that correctly.

That's the whole point
of having you there.

Yeah. But it's just irritating.

Anyways, I got lots to
do. Have a good day.

- You as well.
- See you.

Thank you, Brennan.

You betcha.

It's a thing that Brennan had to go down

and deal with that.

Yeah, and I didn't wanna go do it myself,

because, well, I don't
wanna jump on his toes,

so I figured that's the best way.

But yeah, it's like, chain of command,

should be Brennan first
before it comes to us.

I know exactly how
it is to be the foreman

and then have the boss
come in and up for you.

Tony would have called everyone

a dumb so-and-so,
so-and-so over the radio,

and they'll fire
somebody right off the bat.

I hope they can all be adults about it.

I agree.

It's like my office in here.

Obviously, you know, sweep
it out and take my boots off.

You know, you want it nice and cozy.

I don't like dirty cabs,

so, you know, might as
well keep a new machine

clean and nice.

On the ness claim,
Bailey car ten is still smitten

with Rick's latest
addition, the 750 excavator.

Well, Bailey, should we have Rick order

a second one of those?

I mean, how you feeling in that thing?

Man. I'm loving this machine right now.

It looks like a beast.

It's definitely a lot smoother,

a lot quicker than that 700.

Yeah, I heard if you lick the joysticks,

then you own the machine.

If I lick the joysticks,

well, I guess I better do that quick

before Rick gets back down here.

But it's looking like we got
some really nice pay gravel.

Coffee there, kev?

- Go for Kevin.
- Go for Kevin.

Bring your gold pan down here, buddy.

I think we're on the pay streak here.

I'll be right down,

- bring faith with me.
- Awesome.

After a difficult week
dealing with crew fallouts,

foreman Brennan is finally down to pay.

Got the yellow, Brennan?

I don't know. That's
why I brought you down.

I don't know how to pan very well.

But look at this, kev.

Like, look at the quartz in here.

Yeah.

I really hope there is actual gold in it.

Well, I sure hope we find a few flakes.

I think that'll bring the
morale up for everybody.

The suspense is killing me, Kevin.

Is there any gold?

There is a few garnets in there.

Yeah. You know what's even better?

There is some yellow in here.

There's a yellow right there.

Look at that bad.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

What's wrong with you?

Let me see that nice
little chunky in there.

- That's awesome.
- Yeah.

- Now, I'm super pumped now.
- -Yeah.

That's nice to have
some confirmation, ain't it?

Yeah.

To know that we're on
the right path is awesome.

High five, guys.

- Yeah.
- Woo.

- Super pumped.
- Yeah.

Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody,

if you wanna come to the deck,

we got something to show you guys.

You wanna see some yellow?

Guys, stop it.

- It's a nice big piece.
- My.

- Holy smokes.
- Sweet.

We actually got something.

There's actually in the ground, right?

Wow.

This is awesome. This is the first time

I've ever actually seen gold up here.

There's nothing like
your first time, right?

I know, right?

Well, as long as we stick
together and work as a team,

there's gonna be a
hell of a lot more to that

to see the rest of the season, so...

- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

There it is, finally done rally valley.

Hey, Rick, you got a copy, man?

Yeah, go for Rick.

That's the final load, man.

We're right down to bedrock,

so we're all done rally valley.

Nice job, bud.

After battling rock slides and floods,

Rick ness is closing the
book on his greatest cut ever.

It's a hell of an accomplishment.

We started that hole four years ago.

It's nice to finish something like that.

But at the same time,

we just had a huge gold weigh out of it.

I hate to see that dirt go.

But the good news is we
still got some on the pad.

We still got something to run.

There's still a lot of
gold to get out of it.

But rally valley, that chapter's closed.

Onto the next.

Boys.

- Fellas.
- Hey, guys.

- It's summertime.
- Yeah, I know.

I don't know why I got a sweater on.

Rick is on the richest pay of his life.

His crew gather in anticipation

of what monster red sluices
have caught this week.

Jason, you scared me when
you drove by and blew a tire.

I'd be lying if I said I
didn't scare the myself.

That was like a Cannon going off.

- What's up, dudes?
- What's up?

- And lady.
- I'll answer to any gender.

Rally valley this whole time is
all water going in there, right?

Luckily, we got out of there unscathed.

I think we're all happy to finally be

at the bottom of it, but we're all sad

that now you need to find a next spot.

Unfortunately, we have to move on,

but we know that there's
more ground like that.

We're coming off a record
gold weigh last week,

but we only had, you
know, a couple of good,

solid days of running this week,

but I see a pile of gold there.

Should we weigh this up?

So far, Rick's mined 316

of his 1,500-ounce gold

after just five days of sluicing.

This week, monster
red only ran for two days

before he had to move the pump.

I'll tell you right now,

that's on it, 100 ounces gold.

- Beautiful stuff.
- Gorgeous.

Right here, yet to be seen.

So, who's gonna count this for me?

- Jason.
- Jason.

All right, out of monster red.

We got 100 ounces in the jar,

and we've got this to add to it.

5, 10, 18, 28, 36, 50, 69,

81.87.

All right, 181.87 ounces.

- Woo!
- Right.

Worth $454,000.

We're damn near 500
ounces in two cleanups

on the season already.

That's a third of the way
to our 1,500-ounce goal.

Pretty impressive.

We got 500 ounces on the table already.

We got a full week next
week of running rally valley dirt.

I can't wait to see the total.

- What's up, Chris?
- Hey, hey.

What's happening, guys?

You've been a little busier, I hope.

Yeah, real busy.

Two wash plants running finally?

Yeah. It feels kind of good, really.

Finally sluicing in the bridge cut?

Thanks for getting that plant set up.

No worries, man.

After a week of sluicing

long cut pay through Roxanne

and finally getting his second plant,

big red operational,

Parker's crew are
ready to see some gold.

How did your plant move go?

It was a good one, got it done,

but not without any issues, of course.

Hopefully, it produces some gold there.

Do you wanna see what
your sluice produced?

Sure. Let's check it out.

When Parker ran ditch dirt

from the long cut earlier in the season,

it delivered 30 ounces in a week.

Big red ran for two days in the bridge cut.

- Here we go.
- All righty. Here we go.

5, 10, 17, 20,

27, 29,

30.45.

Worth $76,000.

It's not bad.

I mean, 30 ounces of
gold prices right now?

I thought it would be worse
than that, to be honest.

Good.

My expectations are plummeting.

The great reset.

Aim low and avoid disappointment, right?

Mitch, Roxanne did well this week.

Last week, Roxanne in the long cut

ran for two days producing
76 ounces of gold.

Parker needs to see an improvement

and needs 100 ounces a
week just to cover costs.

Well, let's see what we got.

Let her rip.

20,

40, 60, 70, 100,

150,

181.55.

- Better.
- -We're getting there, right?

Is that the best cleanup
of the season so far?

- Must be.
- Yeah.

- It's over 100.
- It's like...

But it also gives us
576 and a half ounces

- for the season.
- 9,500 more to go.

Don't say that. We'll
see where things end up.

We'll see if we can get the bridge cut

rocking and rolling.

Nice clean work as always, Chris.

Thanks, young man.

We're getting back at it.

More sluicing.

- Yeah.
- See you, doumitt.

Yup.

Not much to say about that

other than we need a lot more gold.

Fingers crossed, the
bridge cut picks up for us.

With two wash plants sluicing

and the gold improving,

Parker may finally have turned a corner

in his quest to decode
dominion's ground.

It's good to have big red running again.

Who knows, maybe we'll get surprised.
