00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,934
[theme music playing]
2
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,600
[Parker] This season has been
a big learning curve.
3
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:28,100
We're well behind and fighting
to try to stay in the green.
4
00:00:29,367 --> 00:00:32,400
Dominion,
it's a difficult property.
5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,266
Some of it's been very rich
like last year,
6
00:00:34,266 --> 00:00:38,100
but there's also a lot
of very lean ground.
7
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:41,100
[narrator]
Over halfway throughthe season,
8
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:44,467
Parker Schnabel's finallydecoding the ground
9
00:00:44,467 --> 00:00:46,400
on his Dominion Creek claim.
10
00:00:47,567 --> 00:00:50,800
And his Indian River landis paying out.
11
00:00:51,567 --> 00:00:56,667
Together, they banked650 ounces last week.
12
00:00:56,667 --> 00:01:01,467
But while turning a corner,he's still only a fifth
13
00:01:01,467 --> 00:01:05,266
of the wayto his 10,000 ounce goal.
14
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:06,467
We're walking a bit
of a tightrope.
15
00:01:06,467 --> 00:01:08,100
I think there's still
a lot of ground
16
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,066
that we're going
to get through.
17
00:01:09,066 --> 00:01:11,667
And that puts a lot of
pressure on guys like
18
00:01:11,667 --> 00:01:14,500
Mitch and Tyson.
The number one mandate
19
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:18,000
is to always be mining
the best ground you can find.
20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,967
That separates
the successful operators
21
00:01:20,967 --> 00:01:23,767
from unsuccessful operators.
22
00:01:23,767 --> 00:01:28,300
To that end, I'm just meeting
with Mitch and Chris
and Tyson.
23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Give them an update.
24
00:01:33,166 --> 00:01:34,867
-Hi, guys.
-What's happening?
25
00:01:34,867 --> 00:01:36,233
What's going on, man?
26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,700
I just wanted to have
a chat with you guys.
27
00:01:40,467 --> 00:01:43,700
Like, this year's been
an absolute just [bleep]
fight, right?
28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,367
We're fighting the ground,
and we've got our hands full
29
00:01:48,367 --> 00:01:49,433
on Dominion right now.
30
00:01:50,367 --> 00:01:52,166
But we have a neighbor.
31
00:01:52,166 --> 00:01:54,266
He approached me
a few weeks ago
32
00:01:54,266 --> 00:01:56,734
and wanted to sell
his property.
33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,500
And I've been in discussions
with him about buying him out.
34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,800
And I just signed
the deal today.
35
00:02:09,266 --> 00:02:10,300
Seriously?
36
00:02:11,367 --> 00:02:12,400
Yeah.
37
00:02:15,867 --> 00:02:17,233
You bought Gold Run?
38
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:24,166
Three miles of Gold Run
that butts up to our property
39
00:02:24,166 --> 00:02:27,133
and a mile of ground
on Sulphur.
40
00:02:31,867 --> 00:02:33,634
Is there anything
left up there, man?
41
00:02:36,166 --> 00:02:38,367
It's been hammered.
42
00:02:38,367 --> 00:02:41,467
But they've done a lot
of 10-ounce-an-hour
runs there.
43
00:02:41,467 --> 00:02:42,867
-Holy [bleep].
-Jeez.
44
00:02:42,867 --> 00:02:44,500
-That's a lot of gold.
-Yeah.
45
00:02:44,967 --> 00:02:46,900
It's extremely rich.
46
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,800
Did you buy just the dirt or,
like, buy the whole thing out?
47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,367
The whole company.
Purchase price, $2.5 million.
48
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:55,867
From a cash basis,
it does put the screws
49
00:02:55,867 --> 00:02:58,767
to us a bit,
but I've embraced the debt.
50
00:02:58,767 --> 00:03:01,967
-You can always go bankrupt.
-I know, Mitch.
51
00:03:01,967 --> 00:03:05,000
I mean, that's a lot of money,
but with our production,
52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,200
I think that it's gonna pay
for itself.
53
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,934
Do we have the manpower
to pick up all this extra
stuff?
54
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,500
-Um...
-We're stretched pretty thin
as it is.
55
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:20,967
Yeah, we are stretched thin,
but they have a pit
56
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:24,300
stripped on Sulphur
that's ready to go.
57
00:03:25,567 --> 00:03:28,300
Gonna run out of ground on
the Indian River, right?
58
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:31,967
And so that crew that's down
there, they can bounce Bob
59
00:03:31,967 --> 00:03:34,700
over there and sluice
these pits out.
60
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:36,667
It would have been nice
to have Damien and his crew
61
00:03:36,667 --> 00:03:38,867
back here to help out
with everything at
the long cut
62
00:03:38,867 --> 00:03:40,333
and the bridge cut
and all that.
63
00:03:41,266 --> 00:03:43,166
Right now, it seems
kind of high risk,
64
00:03:43,166 --> 00:03:46,867
but I do feel like a year
from now, we'd be like,
oh, yeah,
65
00:03:46,867 --> 00:03:48,600
of course
we'll do that, right?
66
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400
How much gold do you think
we need to get off
the property?
67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,800
I would really hope
to see 1,000 ounces
68
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800
between the two properties.
69
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,700
Like, we have to produce
this year.
70
00:03:57,700 --> 00:03:59,667
We have to put some
serious gold away.
71
00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:01,767
I wouldn't suggest this
if I didn't think that
72
00:04:01,767 --> 00:04:03,333
we could solve
the money problem.
73
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I really don't like having,
like, neighbors
74
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,667
You could have just built
a fence probably for
a lot cheaper.
75
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:15,266
[all laughing]
76
00:04:15,266 --> 00:04:18,767
Well, that's not what
I was expecting to hear,
but congratulations.
77
00:04:18,767 --> 00:04:20,767
-Yeah.
-Hey, we got some
more sluicing to do.
78
00:04:20,767 --> 00:04:22,000
Yeah.
79
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,467
Yeah, we'll see
if it's a congratulations
80
00:04:24,467 --> 00:04:25,867
or condolences.
81
00:04:25,867 --> 00:04:28,166
-All right, gentlemen.
-To sluicing.
82
00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:29,700
[all laughing]
83
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:31,700
[groans]
84
00:04:34,166 --> 00:04:36,500
So that was kind
of a bittersweet.
85
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:39,166
Bitter part is I think I have
to take that boy's checkbook
86
00:04:39,166 --> 00:04:40,066
away from him.
87
00:04:40,066 --> 00:04:43,867
He is spending money
that we don't have.
88
00:04:43,867 --> 00:04:47,567
The sweet part is he bought
Gold Run.
89
00:04:47,567 --> 00:04:50,400
That's like saying I just
signed with the Yankees.
90
00:04:52,567 --> 00:04:55,400
[Tyson] Parker's played
Klondike Monopoly here.
91
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,767
We have three wash plants
running now and to top it off
92
00:05:01,767 --> 00:05:03,266
we have Gold Run and Sulphur.
93
00:05:03,266 --> 00:05:06,467
It's just a lot of work to do
and we're spread out again,
94
00:05:06,467 --> 00:05:09,300
but we got to make it work.
95
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:12,767
[narrator]
With his latest addition,Parker now has
96
00:05:12,767 --> 00:05:14,600
an almighty empire.
97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,500
At Indian River, Parker's crewis almost done miningeight acres
98
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,000
of ground leasedfrom Ken Tatlowand Stuart Schmidt.
99
00:05:25,667 --> 00:05:29,567
Over on Parker's Dominionclaim, they're mining 20 acres
100
00:05:29,567 --> 00:05:34,433
at the Long Cut and another114 at the Bridge Cut.
101
00:05:35,467 --> 00:05:40,367
Now, next door is Parker'snew 1,100-acre property
102
00:05:40,367 --> 00:05:41,734
at Gold Run.
103
00:05:42,767 --> 00:05:49,166
And 10 miles away atSulphur sits another 950 acres
104
00:05:49,166 --> 00:05:52,734
with one cut strippedand ready to be sluiced.
105
00:05:53,767 --> 00:05:59,367
Parker's kingdom now spansa colossal 9,550 acres
106
00:05:59,367 --> 00:06:03,700
with hundreds of millionsof dollars of goldin the ground.
107
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:08,567
I know Parker wants
to hit that 10,000 ounce goal
108
00:06:08,567 --> 00:06:10,166
no matter what it takes.
109
00:06:10,166 --> 00:06:12,800
But if we look at
the amount of ground
we have opened up,
110
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,300
you got to be really careful
that you don't end up
111
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:17,567
getting a little
too ambitious.
112
00:06:17,567 --> 00:06:20,000
Normally he's pretty lucky.
113
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,500
Hopefully this year
he doesn't run out of luck.
114
00:06:24,066 --> 00:06:25,266
[Parker] We don't have
the money right now,
115
00:06:25,266 --> 00:06:27,166
but that's never
stopped us before.
116
00:06:27,166 --> 00:06:31,300
Debt's expensive,
but relative to gold price,
it's not.
117
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:36,100
Sulphur, it's on pay,
ready to go.
118
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,567
Probably the biggest risk
is that it spreads us
119
00:06:38,567 --> 00:06:41,100
more thin than
we already are
120
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,266
and takes a bunch of cash out
of the business at a time
121
00:06:44,266 --> 00:06:47,367
when cash is somewhat hard
to find.
122
00:06:47,367 --> 00:06:48,533
Um...
123
00:06:49,867 --> 00:06:52,233
I've blown up the season plans
yet again.
124
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:10,500
[Tony speaking]
125
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,800
[narrator]
Tony Beets has been collectingwins all season,
126
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,900
but now he's taking a big losson his Indian River claim
127
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:32,300
as he waits for the groundto thaw,
128
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:35,600
leaving him withjust Paradise Hill.
129
00:07:54,567 --> 00:07:57,967
To keep the family's goldflowing on the hill,
130
00:07:57,967 --> 00:08:01,200
Tony's lookingto youngest son, Mike.
131
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,800
[Mike]
I'm starting to get in charge
of more things, right?
132
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,200
More responsibility,
more authority.
133
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,367
My dad, he might not always
agree with what I do,
134
00:08:10,367 --> 00:08:13,333
but at the end of the day,
I get the results he wants.
135
00:08:15,066 --> 00:08:17,500
And like normal,
Paradise will be bringing in
the gold.
136
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,066
We're pretty much halfway
through the season,
137
00:08:43,066 --> 00:08:45,867
and whatever we can do
to keep sluicing
138
00:08:45,867 --> 00:08:48,133
is the main goal right now.
139
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,300
[narrator]
In his second seasonwith the Beats,
140
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:54,600
excavator operatorBraden Miller feeds
141
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,867
the trommel 350 yards an hourof super pit pay.
142
00:08:59,867 --> 00:09:04,200
This is pretty much
Mike's operation,
but when Tony's here,
143
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,166
he pretty much takes over,
and it becomes his operation,
144
00:09:08,166 --> 00:09:09,300
essentially.
145
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,934
At the end of the day,
this is still his claim,
right?
146
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:16,700
Oh, [bleep].
147
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:19,567
Hey, Mike, copy Mike.
148
00:09:19,567 --> 00:09:21,934
There's a bunch of watercoming out of this gravelhere.
149
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,900
[bleeping]
150
00:09:38,066 --> 00:09:39,667
[bleep]
151
00:09:42,367 --> 00:09:47,266
Water leak is a big issue,
because it creates
a [bleep] of a mess.
152
00:09:47,266 --> 00:09:49,467
And you thought my bank
behind my sluice box
153
00:09:49,467 --> 00:09:52,367
is gonna wash away
the whole thing underneath it.
154
00:09:52,367 --> 00:09:55,800
If I leave that water to go,
it's going to eventually stop
155
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,700
my sluice box from being able
to shake.
156
00:09:57,700 --> 00:09:59,900
So it's got to get fixed now.
157
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:12,367
[Tony speaking]
158
00:10:12,367 --> 00:10:13,600
[Mike] I know.
159
00:10:23,667 --> 00:10:25,867
[Tony speaking]
160
00:10:25,867 --> 00:10:27,266
[Mike] I have.
161
00:10:27,266 --> 00:10:29,400
Can I explain before you get
all pissy at me?
162
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:57,767
-[narrator] Three weeks ago.
-[Mike] Why are
they doing this?
163
00:10:57,767 --> 00:11:00,700
Mike faced the same problem.
164
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,700
Oh, I see why.
I have a rubber to prevent
splash back,
165
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:07,467
To stop the flow of water.
166
00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:10,266
Get that welder over here.
Weld that on.
167
00:11:10,266 --> 00:11:12,900
Mike quickly installeda rubber mat.
168
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:17,967
That's better.
I can live with this.
169
00:11:17,967 --> 00:11:20,166
This is fine.
170
00:11:20,166 --> 00:11:24,233
[narrator]
But Tony doesn't think Mikehas solved the problem.
171
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:28,533
I actually don't think
it's the baffles.
172
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:39,066
Okay.
173
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:48,467
They're cutting off
the last of the baffles.
174
00:11:48,467 --> 00:11:51,200
Hopefully that fixes it.
I doubt that, but you know.
175
00:11:52,767 --> 00:11:57,266
[narrator]
Tony's 35-year-old trommelhas baffles inside that
176
00:11:57,266 --> 00:12:00,800
are angled to pick up pay dirtand throw it forward.
177
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,767
But some are poorlypositioned,
178
00:12:04,767 --> 00:12:08,233
sending pay dirt and waterback the wrong way,
179
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:12,467
spilling out towardsthe sluice runs,
180
00:12:12,467 --> 00:12:15,100
undermining their foundation.
181
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:18,900
Tony's solution,remove the misaligned baffles,
182
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:21,867
allowing the material tomove down the trammel
183
00:12:21,867 --> 00:12:23,600
in the correct direction.
184
00:12:37,567 --> 00:12:40,200
Let's not put blame where
it's not deserved.
185
00:12:58,367 --> 00:13:00,066
We got all the baffles out.
186
00:13:24,467 --> 00:13:25,900
All right.
187
00:13:31,767 --> 00:13:34,333
Well, it didn't work,
and it got worse.
188
00:13:35,367 --> 00:13:36,600
I [bleep] told them.
189
00:13:45,467 --> 00:13:48,400
[Tony speaking]
190
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,367
[narrator] At Paradise Hill,the Beats' onlygold-producing plant
191
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:58,266
is shut down.
192
00:13:58,266 --> 00:14:03,266
Tony's baffle fix has failed,and he's back to square one.
193
00:14:03,266 --> 00:14:06,467
Well, what I'm going to do
is I'm going to put a pipe
down there.
194
00:14:06,467 --> 00:14:09,934
All these fines,
all this [bleep] goes down
to that chute.
195
00:14:33,467 --> 00:14:35,367
[narrator] Tony's new plan?
196
00:14:35,367 --> 00:14:39,100
Place two sheets of steelat the entrance of the trommel
197
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:43,266
so that any water splashingout is redirected away
198
00:14:43,266 --> 00:14:44,600
from the sluice box.
199
00:14:49,166 --> 00:14:51,200
No, I got a plasma.
200
00:14:57,967 --> 00:15:00,066
I don't see the point.
We're basically doing
the exact same thing.
201
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:01,634
It's just going to be going
the other direction.
202
00:15:04,867 --> 00:15:05,900
Same thing.
203
00:15:06,567 --> 00:15:07,800
I'll be sluicing now.
204
00:15:08,567 --> 00:15:09,900
Same thing.
205
00:15:23,767 --> 00:15:24,967
We might as well not doanything.
206
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:27,400
This is the same [bleep]
Mickey Mouse.
207
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,266
Just switching the sides
for the problem.
208
00:15:30,266 --> 00:15:32,033
So now I'm going to have
two sides of the mess.
209
00:16:04,667 --> 00:16:05,700
Okay.
210
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:07,700
Okay.
211
00:16:18,767 --> 00:16:21,400
[Tony speaking]
212
00:16:28,567 --> 00:16:33,233
[narrator]
It's time to see if Tony'swater diversion is a success.
213
00:16:34,066 --> 00:16:35,800
[Tony speaking]
214
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:08,433
Well, the plan for today
is to [bleep] sluice.
215
00:17:11,667 --> 00:17:13,934
-You ready, spaghetti?
-[woman] I'm ready, spaghetti.
216
00:17:15,967 --> 00:17:17,266
Everyone's clear?
217
00:17:17,266 --> 00:17:18,700
Yeah? Okay.
218
00:17:23,166 --> 00:17:24,200
Conveyors are going.
219
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,634
One, two, three, four, five.
220
00:17:31,166 --> 00:17:36,000
[narrator] 40 miles south,Tony's eldest sonand new mine boss,
221
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,767
Kevin Beets, is finallysluicing on his claim,
222
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:41,433
leased from his parents.
223
00:17:42,667 --> 00:17:46,200
This is a very huge milestone.
There is no denying that.
224
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,100
All the work leading up
to this was a lot of stress.
225
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,667
I'm mostly feeling a sense
of [bleep] relief at
this point.
226
00:17:53,667 --> 00:17:56,900
But this is the first time
that it's all my [bleep].
227
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:58,967
my ground, and at
the end of the day,
228
00:17:58,967 --> 00:18:00,867
it's going to be my
and Faith's gold.
229
00:18:00,867 --> 00:18:03,600
I'm hoping that this week,
if we can get 100 ounces,
230
00:18:04,266 --> 00:18:05,867
it's still just the beginning.
231
00:18:05,867 --> 00:18:08,233
We still have 1,000 ounces
to get out of the ground.
232
00:18:09,166 --> 00:18:11,100
[narrator]
Kevin and his partner, Faith,
233
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:14,800
have invested nearly$2 million so far,
234
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,500
but still have zero goldand have paid Tony
235
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:19,900
zero royalties.
236
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,900
So it feels real good
to actually have it run
237
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:25,967
and look like it's going good.
238
00:18:25,967 --> 00:18:29,166
-About [bleep] time.
-I know.
239
00:18:29,166 --> 00:18:31,300
It's [bleep] nice.
240
00:18:33,867 --> 00:18:36,200
We are getting some decent
sized rocks though.
241
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,667
Mmm.
242
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,000
One thing I've been looking
forward to more than anything
243
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,867
is seeing that first gold
come in.
244
00:18:44,867 --> 00:18:46,233
It's super [bleep] exciting.
245
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,367
[Hunter] It's go, go, go.
246
00:18:50,367 --> 00:18:54,600
We only have limited time
now until things freeze over.
247
00:18:56,100 --> 00:19:02,000
[narrator] Operator HunterCanning feeds Kevin$700,000 washblend,
248
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800
150 yards of pay an hour.
249
00:19:05,767 --> 00:19:07,567
We ended up getting
a couple of new guys.
250
00:19:07,567 --> 00:19:10,900
I think Kayden has
a little bit of mechanic
background,
251
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,166
which is great.
I'm not quite sure about John.
252
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:17,767
Hopefully they stay.
We need people.
253
00:19:17,767 --> 00:19:21,166
[narrator]
Kevin trains up new recruit,Kayden Foote,
254
00:19:21,166 --> 00:19:23,700
to clear the plant'swaste tailings.
255
00:19:24,967 --> 00:19:27,967
[Kevin]
On tailings here,there's no benefit
256
00:19:27,967 --> 00:19:32,166
to being fancy and clean,
because there's not really
257
00:19:32,166 --> 00:19:33,367
any time saving.
258
00:19:33,367 --> 00:19:35,900
You'll end up losing that time
in fuel burnt.
259
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:37,467
-Do you know what I'm saying?
-Yeah, yeah.
260
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:38,767
You're the boss.
261
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:43,100
[John] This is my first time
being a gold miner,
262
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:46,567
and so this is quite
a new experience for me.
263
00:19:46,567 --> 00:19:50,367
Honestly this is a little bitof a dream come true.
264
00:19:50,367 --> 00:19:54,500
[narrator] New hire John Belltrucks the tailingsto a waste site.
265
00:19:55,166 --> 00:19:57,567
I have a background
in landscaping
266
00:19:57,567 --> 00:20:01,700
so I had quite a bit
of experience with
smaller equipment.
267
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:05,700
I'm here to get myself off
of the treadmill
268
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:09,066
because that's what, you know,
9 to 5, 40 hours a week
269
00:20:09,066 --> 00:20:10,133
their jobs are.
270
00:20:10,133 --> 00:20:12,133
It feels like
you're handcuffed
to a treadmill.
271
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,900
That is freaking massive.
272
00:20:31,767 --> 00:20:34,900
No, no, no. Get in the water.
Get in the water.
273
00:20:36,667 --> 00:20:37,967
[bleep]
274
00:20:44,867 --> 00:20:48,100
No, no, no. Get in the water.
Get in the water.
275
00:20:53,567 --> 00:20:56,567
Hey, Hunter, that big rock
is kind of stuck in there.
276
00:20:56,567 --> 00:20:58,734
I'm going to need you
to shut off the heater,
please.
277
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:00,734
[Hunter] All right.
278
00:21:01,867 --> 00:21:04,700
[narrator] At Scribner Creek,Kevin Beets' pre-wash
279
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:08,800
is blocked by a rockshutting down his plant.
280
00:21:11,767 --> 00:21:16,300
[Kevin] I got to politely
encourage this rock
the [bleep] out of my way.
281
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:18,266
AKA, I'm going to beat
the [bleep] out of it
282
00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:19,700
with a sledgehammer
till it moves.
283
00:21:23,767 --> 00:21:24,767
Watch your eyes.
284
00:21:24,767 --> 00:21:25,734
Oops.
285
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,133
[Faith] Oh.
286
00:21:34,767 --> 00:21:36,567
Is there any way that we could
push it back through
287
00:21:36,567 --> 00:21:39,300
and angle it a different way
to get through that?
288
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:41,166
Possibly.
289
00:21:41,166 --> 00:21:43,166
May want to send John up here
to try to give it a lift,
290
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:44,433
because he's a little
[bleep] heavy.
291
00:21:48,266 --> 00:21:49,500
[John] What can I do for you,
brother?
292
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:52,100
Oh, we need someone
with better leverage
than what we got.
293
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:54,900
-All right.
-I think we can lift
the bottom of this rock.
294
00:21:57,567 --> 00:21:59,700
-[John] You can pull it
back now.
-[Hunter] Yeah, pull it back.
295
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:00,600
[John] Here.
296
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,634
-[John grunts]
-[Hunter] Hulk smash!
297
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,567
Okay, this is going to go.
298
00:22:07,567 --> 00:22:09,000
[John]
I can just throw it off
the edge, brother.
299
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:09,967
You think you can do it?
300
00:22:09,967 --> 00:22:11,667
-Absolutely.
-Holy [bleep].
301
00:22:11,667 --> 00:22:13,967
If you're thinking
you're that [bleep] froggy,
302
00:22:13,967 --> 00:22:15,667
Okay, he's going to try
and hit it.
303
00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:17,500
Everyone on this side,
see if he'll flip.
304
00:22:20,767 --> 00:22:21,433
Perfect.
305
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,100
-Okay, you got that?
-Yep.
306
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,634
-[grunts]
-[Hunter] Think light
as a feather.
307
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:29,000
-Ready?
-[Kevin] Yep.
308
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,333
[grunting]
309
00:22:32,867 --> 00:22:33,567
Beautiful.
310
00:22:33,567 --> 00:22:36,667
-[Hunter] Yay!
-There you go.
311
00:22:36,667 --> 00:22:38,767
-Muscles.
-[Hunter] Yeah, buddy.
312
00:22:38,767 --> 00:22:43,300
-You saved the day.
-You're going to
make me blush.
313
00:22:44,467 --> 00:22:45,700
Yeah, man.
314
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:49,634
[narrator]
The 300-pound rock hulked outof the pre-wash.
315
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:51,533
There we go.
316
00:22:51,533 --> 00:22:55,567
[narrator]
Kevin and his crew can getback on the gold.
317
00:22:55,567 --> 00:22:57,800
[Kevin]
Well, I didn't know he was
that big when we hired him.
318
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,667
Good thing, because that rockwas a little heavy for me.
319
00:23:00,667 --> 00:23:02,567
Now it's time to get backinto the equipment,
320
00:23:02,567 --> 00:23:04,900
'cause it is a long way
to 100 ounces for the week.
321
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:06,600
So back to it.
322
00:23:17,066 --> 00:23:20,367
When we bought Gold Run,
it came with some property
on Sulphur.
323
00:23:20,367 --> 00:23:24,300
And a lot of gold came out
of that creek.
324
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:27,000
Like, it's been mined top
to bottom for a very
long time.
325
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,367
[narrator]
Parker's new claims onGold Run and Sulphur Creek
326
00:23:31,367 --> 00:23:34,133
are some of the richestin Klondike history.
327
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:40,266
First mined in the 1896gold rush by hand
328
00:23:40,266 --> 00:23:43,767
and then with dredges,the two creeks combined
329
00:23:43,767 --> 00:23:48,066
have yielded more than$1.5 billion in gold.
330
00:23:48,066 --> 00:23:52,467
And ground along their banksis still sought after
331
00:23:52,467 --> 00:23:54,300
by modern-day prospectors.
332
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,567
[Parker] I knew down the roadI would kick myselffor not doing it,
333
00:23:59,567 --> 00:24:02,600
even though we're having someshort-term money issues.
334
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,967
There is a stripped cut
over there.
335
00:24:06,967 --> 00:24:09,667
Actually, there's a pay pile
ready for a wash plant,
336
00:24:09,667 --> 00:24:13,667
so Tyson has a lot of work
to do to get Bob moved
337
00:24:13,667 --> 00:24:15,166
and get them sorted out.
338
00:24:15,166 --> 00:24:17,033
Nailing that transition
is a...
339
00:24:17,567 --> 00:24:19,233
really important thing.
340
00:24:22,667 --> 00:24:25,567
[Tatiana]
This is our last cleanup
on Kennan-Stewards.
341
00:24:25,567 --> 00:24:28,767
We've done Indian River
for the season.
342
00:24:28,767 --> 00:24:31,667
[narrator]
With the ground thatKennan-Stewards mined out
343
00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:35,967
for the seasonand the Sulphur Creek groundready to go,
344
00:24:35,967 --> 00:24:39,500
Parker wants wash plant Bobmoved and sluicing
345
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,100
within 10 hours.
346
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,567
My job's done here.
347
00:24:45,567 --> 00:24:48,100
It's now up to Tyson
and the rest of the crew
348
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:51,500
to move everything
and get it all started
at Sulphur.
349
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,266
You guys ready?
350
00:24:56,266 --> 00:24:57,300
[man] Hell yeah, buddy.
351
00:24:57,667 --> 00:24:59,600
Move that wash plant.
352
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,467
Parker wants this wash plant
moved from Cairns
353
00:25:03,467 --> 00:25:06,000
over to Sulphur by the end
of the day and up and running,
354
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,500
so we're gonna do our best
to make that happen
for him here.
355
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:11,934
Hopefully the gold's worth it
over at Sulphur.
356
00:25:15,867 --> 00:25:17,367
[Jordan]
Quite frankly, I just thinkwe're doing too much.
357
00:25:17,367 --> 00:25:18,367
It all sounds good.
358
00:25:18,367 --> 00:25:21,767
"Oh, we only need to do
a little bit over here."
359
00:25:21,767 --> 00:25:25,767
Well, then you go [bleep]
do it 12 hours a day
every [bleep] day.
360
00:25:25,767 --> 00:25:29,800
[narrator] Pitching inwith the plant move,mechanic Jordan Sands.
361
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,166
A plant move doesn't consist
of from [bleep] there
over to there now.
362
00:25:34,166 --> 00:25:37,066
It's [bleep] 40k one way.
What does that consist of?
363
00:25:37,066 --> 00:25:39,867
All these trucks,
all these people,
a whole [bleep] day.
364
00:25:39,867 --> 00:25:41,967
It's not a couple hours.
365
00:25:41,967 --> 00:25:46,500
What gets done? [bleep] all.
If the dirt doesn't produce
money, we're [bleep].
366
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:47,800
That's it.
367
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:51,934
Money stops coming,
so do I. I'll tell you that.
368
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:56,400
Got the plant tore apart.
369
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,934
Got all the pieces
on trailers.
370
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,233
Let's start this convoy.
371
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:11,300
Try and make it there
in one piece.
372
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:13,133
[Parker on radio]
Just focus on you, okay?
373
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,900
Whoo! Let's go!
374
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:36,367
[narrator] The 25 milesto Sulphur Creekis Parker's longest ever
375
00:26:36,367 --> 00:26:37,900
plant move.
376
00:26:39,767 --> 00:26:42,166
[Tyson]
We don't have any replacements
for any of this stuff.
377
00:26:42,166 --> 00:26:45,000
If we damaged one part
of this wash plant,
378
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,166
the whole day was a bust.
379
00:26:47,166 --> 00:26:51,333
Sulphur is a bust.
The whole plan is done.
380
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,000
We're in the dust
and the heat.
381
00:26:56,567 --> 00:26:58,233
Trying to make some money.
382
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:01,600
Or go broke trying, right?
383
00:27:12,767 --> 00:27:16,066
Well, we're officially
on Sulphur here.
384
00:27:16,066 --> 00:27:18,700
See the wash plantstill on the truck.
385
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:20,100
Take that as a win.
386
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:24,066
Parker wants this wash plant
set up as quick as possible,
387
00:27:24,066 --> 00:27:27,767
'cause right now we're not
getting any gold out of Bob,
388
00:27:27,767 --> 00:27:29,400
and we definitely need to be.
389
00:27:30,367 --> 00:27:32,600
It's time to go put
a wash plant together.
390
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,533
That's good there, guys.
391
00:27:44,266 --> 00:27:45,500
Give me a hand
with this feeder.
392
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:48,100
You need to be in my eyes
while I lift it up,
back her in.
393
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:49,367
[man] Let's do it.
394
00:27:50,467 --> 00:27:52,100
[Alec] We're getting a lot
closer to sluicing.
395
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:54,367
We might have her going
for night shift.
396
00:27:54,367 --> 00:27:56,500
I think we do have
a night shift lined up.
397
00:27:58,867 --> 00:28:00,767
Let me just hop up
in the plant and see
398
00:28:00,767 --> 00:28:03,000
where we're lined up
to our feed bin.
399
00:28:05,367 --> 00:28:06,533
Oh, no.
400
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,500
Oh [bleep].
401
00:28:11,266 --> 00:28:12,967
That's really bad.
402
00:28:12,967 --> 00:28:16,500
This bar, it's shattered.
403
00:28:17,367 --> 00:28:19,166
It's the front lip
of the plant.
404
00:28:19,166 --> 00:28:20,734
Keeps the dirt on the shaker.
405
00:28:21,667 --> 00:28:24,300
If we were running this,
the crack would continue.
406
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:26,000
This whole chute
would be blown out
407
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,066
of the plant,
and we'd have a pileup.
408
00:28:28,066 --> 00:28:32,600
That's quite a big job to get
something proper in there.
409
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,600
Might not be sluicing
tonight after all.
410
00:28:37,166 --> 00:28:39,800
Our plant's down.
This is the last thing
we need.
411
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,300
We need Bob up and running,
and it's down because
of a [bleep] feed lip.
412
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:08,800
How are you?
413
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,600
I was just coming to see
if you need an operator
414
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,133
tonight for night shift.
415
00:29:16,166 --> 00:29:21,467
So Bob has some issues.
The feed lip's broken.
416
00:29:21,467 --> 00:29:24,300
We got to get this fixed
before we can fire Bob up.
417
00:29:26,567 --> 00:29:28,500
[bleep]. That's not good.
418
00:29:30,567 --> 00:29:32,233
You'll get this thing
going tomorrow.
419
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:36,634
It cost us a shift.
420
00:29:39,066 --> 00:29:42,166
I was hoping to fire up
tonight and try to make up
421
00:29:42,166 --> 00:29:43,800
for some of those ounces
on Dominion,
422
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,500
but looks like that's probably
not gonna happen.
423
00:30:05,166 --> 00:30:09,100
Bob is priority one for
the whole sluice crew
right now.
424
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,400
We got a lot of payand a lot of investmenton that property.
425
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,467
[narrator]
At Parker's new claimon Sulphur Creek,
426
00:30:15,467 --> 00:30:19,000
mechanics Alec Kellyand Liam Pukila
427
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,634
are racing to fix a brokenfeed lip on wash plant Bob.
428
00:30:25,367 --> 00:30:26,800
[Alec] We're gonna
reinforce it.
429
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,967
The whole chute is held
quite strongly on the sides,
430
00:30:30,967 --> 00:30:33,166
and there's no support here.
431
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:35,100
And the whole time
the shaker's running,
432
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:38,800
this oscillates a little bit
to the point where it shatters
433
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,000
and disassembles itself
violently from the wash plant.
434
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,700
The success of this day is now
solely dependent on us.
435
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:51,700
[Tyson] Sulphur, there's pay,
it's ready to go.
436
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:53,867
He'll be a lot happier
once gold's coming in
437
00:30:53,867 --> 00:30:56,300
and get to see what Sulphur
is really all about.
438
00:30:57,367 --> 00:31:00,867
I actually thought
we would have been sluicing
439
00:31:00,867 --> 00:31:02,066
easily by now.
440
00:31:02,066 --> 00:31:05,600
[narrator]
While the mechanicsreinforce Bob's feedlet,
441
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,000
Tyson and Damien Brownstockpile more pay
442
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
from Sulphur'spre-stripped cut.
443
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,367
We're already stretched
so bloody thin right now.
444
00:31:15,367 --> 00:31:18,600
What Parker's idea was going
to buy another
445
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,800
piece of property,
I really don't know.
446
00:31:23,867 --> 00:31:27,834
We got the new chute
all welded up.
447
00:31:29,066 --> 00:31:31,367
Now the real fun begins
to see how
448
00:31:31,367 --> 00:31:35,033
we're actually gonna get
the new one in and how
it's even gonna fit.
449
00:31:36,967 --> 00:31:37,934
I'm clear.
450
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Bitchin'.
451
00:31:48,166 --> 00:31:49,834
This makes it easy.
452
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:53,333
Yeah, now we're just
unbolting.
453
00:31:54,367 --> 00:31:55,634
[man] Lifting up.
454
00:31:56,166 --> 00:31:58,266
Crane's taking weight off
the chute right now
455
00:31:58,266 --> 00:32:00,300
while they're taking out
the last bolts.
456
00:32:00,867 --> 00:32:02,133
Coming down.
457
00:32:02,967 --> 00:32:04,133
Whoa.
458
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:06,934
Yeah, keep it coming.
459
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:09,934
Whoa.
460
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,634
Right now, we're getting
ready to mock it into place
461
00:32:16,667 --> 00:32:19,133
and see if any modifications
need to be made.
462
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,433
Good, Alec.
463
00:32:28,467 --> 00:32:29,233
Whoa.
464
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:33,166
This is looking pretty
good here.
465
00:32:33,166 --> 00:32:35,266
So we got our chute up
in place,
466
00:32:35,266 --> 00:32:38,567
line up our holes,
throw some bolts in,
467
00:32:38,567 --> 00:32:39,700
and we're out of here.
468
00:32:44,567 --> 00:32:45,800
Perfect.
469
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:49,066
Well, nice work, guys.
Got her back together.
470
00:32:49,066 --> 00:32:51,367
We'll be ready to fire up.
I'll go let Damien know.
471
00:32:51,367 --> 00:32:53,266
-Sounds good.
-You want to grab
the pump, Alec?
472
00:32:53,266 --> 00:32:54,967
-I'll do it.
-Thanks.
473
00:32:54,967 --> 00:32:59,834
[narrator]
Just two days after Parker'ssudden purchase of Sulphur.
474
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,867
Here we go.
475
00:33:01,867 --> 00:33:05,100
Wash plant Bob fires upfor the first time
476
00:33:05,100 --> 00:33:06,700
on his new ground.
477
00:33:09,767 --> 00:33:11,200
[Tyson] First bucket of pay.
478
00:33:13,367 --> 00:33:16,100
You know, if you asked me
at the beginning of the season
479
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:20,467
if we'd be here on Sulphur
sluicing,
I'd say you're crazy,
480
00:33:20,467 --> 00:33:23,266
but it's just the cards
we've been dealt.
481
00:33:23,266 --> 00:33:26,233
Hopefully there's a big pileof gold at the end of the weekfor us here.
482
00:33:44,767 --> 00:33:47,767
I'm in the nice AC.
483
00:33:47,767 --> 00:33:51,500
I'm loading the hopper.
Things are running.
484
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,967
Kevin Beets crew areplaying catch-up,
485
00:33:54,967 --> 00:33:59,867
chasing a 1,000-ounce goalfor the freshman yearmine boss.
486
00:33:59,867 --> 00:34:02,467
It's so nice to finally
get going.
487
00:34:02,467 --> 00:34:04,100
We started with nothing.
488
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:08,367
And to see an actual plant
set up, it's finally
coming along.
489
00:34:08,367 --> 00:34:11,166
I got a new hire.His name's Kayden.
490
00:34:11,166 --> 00:34:14,100
He makes me feel really oldbecause he looks like
491
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,500
he should be stillin high school.
492
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:20,367
[Kayden]
I've been gold miningfor about five years.
493
00:34:20,367 --> 00:34:25,000
When I was a teenager
my family had a gold mine
494
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,166
and ever since that I've just
sort of felt like
495
00:34:29,166 --> 00:34:30,967
it was a bit of a calling.
496
00:34:30,967 --> 00:34:35,467
[narrator]
22-year-old new recruit Kaydenhas been clearing tailings
497
00:34:35,467 --> 00:34:37,500
since he started two days ago.
498
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,266
It's stressful and I just hope
that I please Kevin and Faith
499
00:34:43,266 --> 00:34:45,300
enough to bring me back
next season.
500
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:51,133
Oh, [bleep].
That doesn't look good.
501
00:34:53,567 --> 00:34:55,500
I'm shutting her down,
shutting her down.
502
00:35:07,467 --> 00:35:09,900
Hey, Kev, hey, Kev,
you need to get down here.
503
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:13,166
[bleep] I'll be downin a sec to have a look.
504
00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:17,000
[narrator] Kevin needstwo ounces of goldan hour to have
505
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,767
any chance of hittinghis seasoned target.
506
00:35:19,767 --> 00:35:21,166
[man] Holy [bleep].
507
00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:24,300
One's there, there, there,
there, there, there, there.
508
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,934
Oh, yeah. [bleep] broken off.
509
00:35:29,767 --> 00:35:32,900
[Kevin] I was up in the yard
doing some work, and Kayden
gave us a call.
510
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:34,467
He saw water spraying
everywhere,
511
00:35:34,467 --> 00:35:38,166
came up and checked,
and found one of these busted,
512
00:35:38,166 --> 00:35:39,000
another one.
513
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,166
This whole bar is dead
at this point.
514
00:35:41,166 --> 00:35:45,200
[narrator]
The broken spray barswon't wash pay dirt properly,
515
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,767
losing gold in the tailings.
516
00:35:47,767 --> 00:35:49,867
I figure this happens
from rocks.
517
00:35:49,867 --> 00:35:53,567
They come down off
a conveyor. You can see
exactly where they hit.
518
00:35:53,567 --> 00:35:55,166
That's center of platen
right there.
519
00:35:55,166 --> 00:35:57,166
Bounce, bounce.
520
00:35:57,166 --> 00:35:59,800
And if they hit the deck
when it's on an upward swing,
521
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:05,367
they fly up, they go whack,
and these get [bleep].
522
00:36:05,367 --> 00:36:09,200
So to make sure we get
a decent spread on our spray,
523
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,000
we're just gonna quickly
replace these ones.
524
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,266
We'll probably go
a little shallower.
525
00:36:13,266 --> 00:36:17,100
Because clearly these are,
they're in the danger zone.
They're too long.
526
00:36:22,900 --> 00:36:24,233
Oh, I see, I see.
527
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:28,400
I'm going to make more
of these from these.
528
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,300
They're going to be a lot
shorter because they don't
529
00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:31,800
really need to be this long.
530
00:36:35,367 --> 00:36:38,533
I'm just hoping that
it doesn't take too long
531
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
and we can get the showback on the road
532
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,700
because I just want to besluicing right now.
533
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,333
[Kevin] That's all done.
534
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,500
I have to pop out the old ones
and pop in the new ones.
535
00:37:01,367 --> 00:37:02,333
Okay.
536
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,867
So we have the ones I made up.
537
00:37:05,867 --> 00:37:09,567
Much shorter,
so they shouldn't be able
538
00:37:09,567 --> 00:37:10,667
to be hit by rocks.
539
00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:12,900
And if they are,
they should be much
harder to break.
540
00:37:14,767 --> 00:37:15,700
Bada bing.
541
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:17,433
Quick fix.
542
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,500
Spray bar should be good.
543
00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:25,266
And we're going to fire
back up.
544
00:37:25,266 --> 00:37:26,600
Off you [bleep] go.
545
00:37:39,767 --> 00:37:40,967
Nozzles are in.
546
00:37:40,967 --> 00:37:43,100
They're moving the material in
an easter, which is perfect.
547
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:45,300
That means we can get back
to sluicing.
548
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:47,500
Still a long way
to 1,000 ounces.
549
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,567
[narrator] Kevin is backon track for his first goldweigh of the season.
550
00:37:54,567 --> 00:37:56,166
[Kevin]
I'm excited about the firstgold weigh
551
00:37:56,166 --> 00:37:58,467
and actually having money
coming in because
552
00:37:58,467 --> 00:38:00,600
the piggy bank's getting
[bleep] low.
553
00:38:09,066 --> 00:38:12,700
[Hunter] I've been here
for months and we're only
just starting to sluice.
554
00:38:13,467 --> 00:38:16,567
I'll point them up here
to find the gold
555
00:38:16,567 --> 00:38:21,400
and take it home to my family
so we can have a better life.
556
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,166
Being a mom up here is
an eye opener and it sucks.
557
00:38:27,166 --> 00:38:31,467
I haven't seen my 10 year oldgirl in months now.
558
00:38:31,467 --> 00:38:34,500
And I know when I go back,she's gonna be a foot taller.
559
00:38:35,166 --> 00:38:38,100
I've been thereevery single day,
560
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:40,667
every step of the way for her.
561
00:38:40,667 --> 00:38:44,166
And now her mommy'sgone up north.
562
00:38:44,166 --> 00:38:48,367
Everybody makes sacrifices.
This is mine.
563
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:52,567
I'm showing my little girl
that it's possible for women
564
00:38:52,567 --> 00:38:57,033
to come up here
and do badass stuff.
565
00:39:11,367 --> 00:39:13,667
[Tony speaking]
566
00:39:13,667 --> 00:39:15,600
Well, at least we get gold.
567
00:39:17,266 --> 00:39:20,100
After a week of Mike and Tonyarguing,
568
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:24,300
the family gathers to seewhat Paradise Hill brought in.
569
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,300
There's a reason we say
he's a Ton-ado.
570
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:34,567
I'm not gonna lie,
you do get things done,
571
00:39:34,567 --> 00:39:36,033
but sometimes not the way
I like them.
572
00:39:36,767 --> 00:39:39,934
[Tony speaking]
573
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,066
Well, I will admit,
sometimes it's a bit annoying
574
00:39:48,066 --> 00:39:49,700
when you're micromanaging me.
575
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,634
All that did was
redirect water.
576
00:40:03,467 --> 00:40:05,567
Yeah, but when all you can
think of is run, run, run,
577
00:40:05,567 --> 00:40:08,000
run, you sometimes can't look
past that.
578
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,033
You tunnel vision.
579
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:19,500
[narrator]
To get to his 5,000-ouncegoal,
580
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:23,800
Tony needs over 160 ouncesa week.
581
00:40:24,567 --> 00:40:30,266
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,
582
00:40:30,266 --> 00:40:33,700
80, 90, 100, 110, 120...
583
00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:38,567
127.7.
584
00:40:38,567 --> 00:40:42,700
[narrator]
Worth almost $320,000.
585
00:40:49,266 --> 00:40:51,200
Who would that guy be? You?
586
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:56,233
You guys should go back
to work.
587
00:40:58,567 --> 00:41:00,500
-We'll see you guys later.
-Yeah.
588
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,467
[Mike]
My dad wasn't giving mea solution.
589
00:41:04,467 --> 00:41:07,367
He was giving me a quick fixthat doesn't do nothing.
590
00:41:07,367 --> 00:41:09,567
And I'm willing to take
the time and be patient
591
00:41:09,567 --> 00:41:11,066
to get something done right.
592
00:41:11,066 --> 00:41:14,467
If he's in a bad mood,
he doesn't care.
Get it going.
593
00:41:14,467 --> 00:41:17,467
He's been having
a very hard year this year.
594
00:41:17,467 --> 00:41:20,367
He's stressed, frankly.
He's stressed.
595
00:41:20,367 --> 00:41:23,667
Things are not going the way
he wants out in the Indian.
596
00:41:23,667 --> 00:41:26,266
So now he feels he has to do
everything himself.
597
00:41:26,266 --> 00:41:29,000
First, it shows a massive
disrespect towards me,
598
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,400
because you're not [bleep]
taking my word serious.
599
00:41:31,867 --> 00:41:33,133
That pisses me off.
600
00:41:44,367 --> 00:41:45,800
-Hey, guys.
-Hey, guys.
601
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,066
-Hey.
-Hola.
602
00:41:48,066 --> 00:41:50,467
[narrator]
Three and a half monthsinto the season,
603
00:41:50,467 --> 00:41:55,467
and Kevin Beets is finallyweighing his first gold.
604
00:41:55,467 --> 00:41:58,600
-So, how's things been going?
-Oh, we're finally sluicing.
605
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,500
That is good to finally get
that going.
606
00:42:04,066 --> 00:42:07,767
Yeah, things kept getting
pushed back,
breakdowns and people.
607
00:42:07,767 --> 00:42:09,900
[man]
The big thing was setting
the plant up.
608
00:42:09,900 --> 00:42:12,700
Definitely a couple of little
teething things going on.
609
00:42:13,667 --> 00:42:16,600
[Tony speaking]
610
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,300
I think we're very fortunate
to have you guys help us out.
611
00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:21,900
Yeah. You're still my kids.
612
00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:23,700
It'll never change.
613
00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:27,300
It's a big thing to do 1,000
your first year.
614
00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:28,433
I know the growing pains.
615
00:42:28,433 --> 00:42:31,000
So I'm going to see these two
succeed as well, right?
616
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,567
Oh, trust me, I know.
617
00:42:36,567 --> 00:42:38,667
I think we put two million
so far.
618
00:42:38,667 --> 00:42:41,000
It's getting scary at
one point as well.
619
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,166
It was just watching the bills
come in and I was like, okay,
620
00:42:44,166 --> 00:42:46,300
where do I get the money now?
[laughs]
621
00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:49,266
So, I see you have some gold.
622
00:42:49,266 --> 00:42:50,767
We do.
623
00:42:50,767 --> 00:42:52,700
Are we ready, folks?
624
00:42:53,467 --> 00:42:56,367
[narrator]
To achieve his1000 ounce goal,
625
00:42:56,367 --> 00:43:00,500
Kevin must average roughly100 ounces a week.
626
00:43:03,767 --> 00:43:07,867
One, two, three, five,
627
00:43:07,867 --> 00:43:13,900
10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
628
00:43:15,967 --> 00:43:19,300
-Damn, 33 ounces.
-Nice.
629
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:24,433
-Right on the dot.
-Worth $82,500.
630
00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:29,400
We do get the royalties,
right?
631
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,266
Well, get running,
keep running.
That's the biggest thing.
632
00:43:38,266 --> 00:43:39,867
Yeah.
633
00:43:39,867 --> 00:43:42,400
Next, I hope it'll be
a little bit more gold.
634
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,867
-Yeah, we do.
-[Faith] I hope so, too.
635
00:43:43,867 --> 00:43:44,900
Me as well.
636
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:49,100
Good to see you guys.
637
00:43:49,100 --> 00:43:51,266
-Bye.
-See ya.
638
00:43:51,266 --> 00:43:53,934
[Faith]
We could have done better.
I always want more.
639
00:43:54,867 --> 00:43:57,367
It doesn't seem like
we have much time left.
640
00:43:57,367 --> 00:43:59,300
Do you think we're gonna hit
our 1,000 ounce?
641
00:44:00,166 --> 00:44:01,834
Honestly, I don't know yet.
642
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,300
-Hi, Chris.
-Hey, Parker.
643
00:44:22,066 --> 00:44:23,300
Beer me.
644
00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:26,500
I think we have to have a talk
about your spending practices.
645
00:44:27,367 --> 00:44:29,900
Oh, I know.
646
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:33,133
How much have you spent
on property the last two
years, right?
647
00:44:34,367 --> 00:44:37,033
Yeah, too much.
I don't want to think
about it.
648
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:39,800
Well, hopefully it'll pay off.
649
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,567
[narrator]
Parker has gold comingfrom four spots this week.
650
00:44:44,567 --> 00:44:46,100
[Chris] That's a busy week
for you, Dumit.
651
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:48,100
Roxanne keeps chugging along.
652
00:44:48,100 --> 00:44:51,767
We were plugging away while
everything else was happening.
653
00:44:51,767 --> 00:44:55,367
[narrator]
First up is the gold fromthe long cut on Dominion,
654
00:44:55,367 --> 00:44:58,734
which has been averaging150 ounces a week.
655
00:44:59,166 --> 00:45:00,767
This is a long cut.
656
00:45:00,767 --> 00:45:07,567
20, 30, 70, 140, 200,
657
00:45:07,567 --> 00:45:13,066
210, 217.7.
658
00:45:13,066 --> 00:45:15,367
Nice. That's solid.
659
00:45:15,367 --> 00:45:16,367
[man] Not bad.
660
00:45:16,367 --> 00:45:17,400
Okay.
661
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:18,867
There's big red.
662
00:45:18,867 --> 00:45:24,800
[narrator] So far, the bridgecut is yet to hit 100 ouncesin a week.
663
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,934
[Chris] Here we go.
Big red bridge cut.
664
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,767
Five, 10, 25,
665
00:45:32,767 --> 00:45:37,533
55, 60, 70,
666
00:45:39,166 --> 00:45:41,133
77.1.
667
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,800
Consistently poor.
668
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:48,467
[Chris]
Last cleanup down at Ken's,
five.
669
00:45:48,467 --> 00:45:52,767
[narrator] Kenan Stewart's hasbeen their best performing cutthis season,
670
00:45:52,767 --> 00:45:55,300
delivering two ounces of goldan hour.
671
00:45:55,300 --> 00:46:02,266
30, 65, 70, 98.8.
672
00:46:02,266 --> 00:46:08,700
[narrator] Over 2.5 ouncesan hour on its last runof the season.
673
00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:11,266
But for the hours it ran,
I think it did well.
674
00:46:11,266 --> 00:46:13,100
Well, it's a good thing
you got Sulphur,
675
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:15,533
because without that,
where would have Bob gone?
676
00:46:16,367 --> 00:46:18,700
What do you think?
You liking your new purchase?
677
00:46:20,967 --> 00:46:23,667
I don't know, Chris.
Do we like our new purchase?
678
00:46:23,667 --> 00:46:26,800
[narrator]
For Sulphur to pick upthe slack, Parker's looking
679
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,667
for it to deliver at least100 ounces in just
680
00:46:30,667 --> 00:46:32,133
two days of running.
681
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,567
-Bob's Sulphur.
-All righty, let's see
682
00:46:35,567 --> 00:46:38,000
how Parker's new purchase
panned out.
683
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,166
How did it go?
684
00:46:40,166 --> 00:46:45,300
Here we go. 20, 40, 60,
685
00:46:45,300 --> 00:46:47,600
80, 100,
686
00:46:48,166 --> 00:46:53,500
110, 120, 130,
687
00:46:56,700 --> 00:47:00,066
141.65.
688
00:47:00,066 --> 00:47:04,266
[narrator]
Sulphur has made nearly doublethe gold the bridge cut
689
00:47:04,266 --> 00:47:05,900
has all week.
690
00:47:05,900 --> 00:47:09,066
So far so good.
It's a good week for Bob
691
00:47:09,066 --> 00:47:10,266
with a move in the middle.
692
00:47:10,266 --> 00:47:12,400
[Parker] Well, at least
there's some gold over
at Sulphur.
693
00:47:13,367 --> 00:47:14,900
And you guys keep doubting me.
694
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:18,400
Halfway through some gold
down there.
695
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:21,800
Got them all up.
That's a pretty good week.
696
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,200
So for the week,
we have 535.2 ounces.
697
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:30,467
[narrator]
Worth $1.3 million,more than half
698
00:47:30,467 --> 00:47:33,166
the purchase priceof his new ground.
699
00:47:33,166 --> 00:47:35,400
-Better than a kick
in the ass.
-Yeah.
700
00:47:36,367 --> 00:47:37,567
We broke 500.
701
00:47:37,567 --> 00:47:41,900
It gives us a season total
of 2880.5.
702
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:43,467
Keep that going.
703
00:47:43,467 --> 00:47:44,934
-Yeah.
-Be all right.
704
00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:48,367
We're getting there.
The numbers are jumping
much quicker
705
00:47:48,367 --> 00:47:50,233
than they have the last
few weeks, so.
706
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,133
On that note.
All right, gentlemen.
707
00:47:53,767 --> 00:47:54,867
All right, thanks, Chris.
