Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:16,467 --> 00:00:18,300
I can also try
and pushing on it, Jordy,
2
00:00:18,333 --> 00:00:19,800
if you don't want to pull.
3
00:00:19,833 --> 00:00:20,867
Yeah.
4
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:22,800
It's a monumental day
5
00:00:22,833 --> 00:00:25,467
for 28-year-old
Parker Schnabel.
6
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:27,833
After throwing
everything he's got
7
00:00:27,867 --> 00:00:31,700
at stripping Dominion Creek's
40-acre Money Pit,
8
00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:34,567
his crew are on the brink
of sluicing.
9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,233
I can't go anymore this way.
10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,667
And Parker...
11
00:00:40,567 --> 00:00:43,400
...will see if his
$15 million gamble
12
00:00:43,433 --> 00:00:45,767
is a bonanza or a bust.
13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,000
Our deck rail's
gonna catch,
14
00:00:48,033 --> 00:00:49,967
just go three inches or so.
15
00:00:52,833 --> 00:00:54,233
Try that.
16
00:00:54,267 --> 00:00:58,700
But first,
wash plant, Big Red,
must be moved 15 miles
17
00:00:58,733 --> 00:01:00,267
to the Money Pit.
18
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,300
Gotta get Big Red
up to Dominion.
19
00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:03,267
It's gonna be running
20
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:04,200
hopefully by the end
of the week.
21
00:01:05,167 --> 00:01:07,400
Running out of days
of the season
22
00:01:07,433 --> 00:01:09,367
and we still have a lot
of ground to get through.
23
00:01:10,767 --> 00:01:12,867
So, you know,
that's a lot of pressure
24
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:14,833
put on the crew this year.
25
00:01:14,867 --> 00:01:17,067
And even more pressure
on Parker.
26
00:01:20,133 --> 00:01:21,233
Tyson, just a bit.
27
00:01:23,967 --> 00:01:24,900
Nailed it.
28
00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:27,133
Let's go.
29
00:01:29,433 --> 00:01:30,600
Have fun, Jordy.
30
00:01:45,433 --> 00:01:47,333
You know,
we're almost at the point
31
00:01:47,366 --> 00:01:50,167
where basically every penny
that we've ever made mining
32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,366
is now back in the ground.
33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,233
And the stripping
34
00:01:52,267 --> 00:01:54,233
and the equipments
and whatnot,
35
00:01:54,267 --> 00:01:56,767
you know, we can't afford
anything to go wrong now.
36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,567
Halfway through
the season,
37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,667
Parker has hauled in
just 1,274 ounces
38
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:05,533
of his 5,000-ounce target.
39
00:02:05,567 --> 00:02:07,333
Right now,
we're very spread out
40
00:02:07,367 --> 00:02:09,467
and working
in three different areas.
41
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:14,800
It's definitely
causing a fair bit
of issues, um...
42
00:02:14,833 --> 00:02:16,833
but...
43
00:02:16,867 --> 00:02:19,867
we're here now
and we just have to suck it up
and deal with it.
44
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:21,933
Parker's put
nearly everything
45
00:02:21,966 --> 00:02:23,700
into opening Dominion
46
00:02:23,733 --> 00:02:25,600
and is stretched to the limit
47
00:02:25,633 --> 00:02:28,900
with skeleton teams
working his other two claims.
48
00:02:30,767 --> 00:02:34,533
One crew brings in gold
from the El Dorado Cut
49
00:02:34,567 --> 00:02:36,067
at Ken and Stewart's.
50
00:02:36,067 --> 00:02:40,100
While another strips ground
at Australia Creek.
51
00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:42,633
But the key
to his make or break season
52
00:02:42,667 --> 00:02:46,567
is seeing a return on his
Dominion Creek purchase.
53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,600
We're very close
54
00:02:47,633 --> 00:02:50,133
to being ready to sluice
here at Dominion.
55
00:02:50,167 --> 00:02:52,733
Um, we'll see
if the Money Pit is, uh...
56
00:02:54,067 --> 00:02:58,600
You don't name that
because it has
lots of money in it
57
00:02:58,633 --> 00:03:00,900
or because it's gonna cost us
lots of money.
58
00:03:05,733 --> 00:03:08,267
They're just coming in now.
59
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:10,667
With Big Red
now at the Money Pit,
60
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:13,100
foreman Mitch Blaschke
needs to move
61
00:03:13,133 --> 00:03:16,533
the 50-ton wash plant
onto the pad.
62
00:03:16,567 --> 00:03:17,800
Are you ready
to get your baby in place?
63
00:03:17,833 --> 00:03:20,067
Yeah, I'm ready
to see this thing
wash some rocks, man.
64
00:03:20,067 --> 00:03:21,567
It's been sitting
way too long.
65
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:29,867
You just kind of
want to guide me here.
66
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:31,767
I'll try
and swing it out a ways
67
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,267
and then cut her back.
68
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:36,067
But this is really
soft on the edge, so.
69
00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:43,767
Right now,
I'm trying to get Big Red
70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,133
up this ramp here,
but the one side of it
71
00:03:46,167 --> 00:03:48,433
is wanting to dig in
really harder
72
00:03:48,466 --> 00:03:49,667
and that's making
the wash plant
73
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:51,067
wanna lean here a bit.
74
00:03:55,767 --> 00:03:57,567
It's all about
just getting the plant
75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,067
onto some firm ground here.
76
00:04:00,333 --> 00:04:02,833
You don't want it
to be uneven here
77
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:04,267
because that's when
it starts tipping.
78
00:04:08,467 --> 00:04:10,167
Well now,
it's up to the wash plant
79
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,900
where it's level
is where it's gonna sit.
80
00:04:13,467 --> 00:04:15,700
You feel
like a pirate up there,
81
00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:20,067
just in the lookout
with your range finder there?
82
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,700
-Land, ahoy!
83
00:04:22,733 --> 00:04:25,067
Hopefully, there's some
gold ahoy out there.
84
00:04:29,067 --> 00:04:31,933
We've got the shaker deck
in place, now it's time
for the sluice run.
85
00:04:31,967 --> 00:04:35,200
So we're gonna grab
those couple conveyors
86
00:04:35,233 --> 00:04:37,067
and hopefully have
the Money Pit
87
00:04:37,067 --> 00:04:39,700
actually making
some money here.
88
00:04:39,733 --> 00:04:43,067
We'll just get you right up
against that guardrail there.
89
00:04:48,133 --> 00:04:49,933
Good, stop.
90
00:04:49,967 --> 00:04:51,700
I feel good how it's all
come together though.
91
00:04:51,733 --> 00:04:53,733
-I mean, didn't take much...
-Yeah.
92
00:04:53,767 --> 00:04:55,800
...to get it all back looking
like a wash plant again.
93
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:12,100
Well,
there's a lot of stress
and I mask a lot of that,
94
00:05:12,133 --> 00:05:13,967
but it affects me
just like anybody else.
95
00:05:15,767 --> 00:05:17,533
Because I've already got
three-quarters
of a million dollars invested
96
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:19,567
just in running costs.
97
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,733
And it's, uh...
98
00:05:20,767 --> 00:05:21,600
We're sure as
don't have three-quarters
99
00:05:21,633 --> 00:05:23,367
of a million dollars
of gold yet.
100
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,533
100 miles away
at Duncan Creek,
101
00:05:26,567 --> 00:05:29,367
Rick Ness
is making a comeback.
102
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,167
But so far,
103
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,300
he only has 203 ounces
104
00:05:33,332 --> 00:05:35,467
of his 1,000-ounce target.
105
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:40,067
And the one cut he has open,
the Bacon Strip,
106
00:05:40,067 --> 00:05:44,067
is running lean on gold
and is almost tapped out.
107
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:47,100
Uh, right now,
I mean, the crew's running
108
00:05:47,133 --> 00:05:49,233
the Bacon Strip,
but, you know,
109
00:05:49,267 --> 00:05:51,300
they are gonna
fast run out, so.
110
00:05:51,332 --> 00:05:53,700
We need to have this dirt
from the...
111
00:05:53,733 --> 00:05:55,400
From the Bench Cut
at the plant ready to run.
112
00:05:55,433 --> 00:05:57,300
And, um, if I don't get
this done in time,
113
00:05:57,332 --> 00:05:59,633
then we're gonna be sitting
without running the plant
114
00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:01,133
and that's just
not acceptable.
115
00:06:01,167 --> 00:06:02,200
You know, it's a short season,
116
00:06:02,233 --> 00:06:04,400
we gotta be getting gold
every day.
117
00:06:04,433 --> 00:06:06,333
On a one-man
mission,
118
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:08,433
Rick is stripping
the Bench Cut
119
00:06:08,467 --> 00:06:11,067
in the hopes of finding
better pay,
120
00:06:11,067 --> 00:06:14,400
leaving his crew
to sluice the Bacon Strip.
121
00:06:16,133 --> 00:06:18,832
From up here, I could just
barely see the plant.
122
00:06:18,867 --> 00:06:21,933
And I definitely can't be
in two places at once.
123
00:06:21,967 --> 00:06:23,367
So, it's...
124
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,700
You know, it's time to start
putting a little faith
in this crew
125
00:06:24,733 --> 00:06:26,133
and see how they handle it.
126
00:06:26,167 --> 00:06:28,567
You know, I've told Buzz
he's in charge down there.
127
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,933
Just keep that plant running
no matter what.
128
00:06:30,967 --> 00:06:32,167
Um, I got
complete faith in him.
129
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,900
If he could prove himself,
130
00:06:33,933 --> 00:06:35,633
I'm thinking
about making him my foreman.
131
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,467
Buzz Legault
joined Rick's team
132
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:56,800
just eight weeks ago.
133
00:06:56,832 --> 00:06:58,500
He quickly proved himself
134
00:06:58,533 --> 00:07:01,700
and now Rick's
testing him out as foreman.
135
00:07:23,267 --> 00:07:25,933
Um, we're just gonna fire up
the generator here.
136
00:07:28,332 --> 00:07:30,100
Yeah, we're hoping
we got a full day
137
00:07:30,133 --> 00:07:31,367
of sluicing in here today.
138
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:35,667
Operator,
Trey Charlie,
139
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:38,400
and camp cook, Travis Kinakin,
140
00:07:38,433 --> 00:07:40,433
fire up wash plant Rocky.
141
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:57,832
Oh, I can smell some
burning wire or something.
142
00:07:57,867 --> 00:08:00,633
Like, there's a...
Can you smell that?
143
00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:02,967
Oh, yeah,
I could smell that.
144
00:08:03,067 --> 00:08:04,833
Doesn't smell too nice.
145
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,067
Do you idle this thing up yet?
146
00:08:10,067 --> 00:08:11,333
No, I haven't.
147
00:08:11,367 --> 00:08:13,233
Something's,
something's .
148
00:08:15,067 --> 00:08:16,633
See if she'll fire up.
149
00:08:25,133 --> 00:08:27,067
Got nothing.
150
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,832
She's not working,
but do you smell that?
I'll go get Buzz.
151
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,232
Hey, I fired up
with the generator,
152
00:08:42,267 --> 00:08:45,500
flipped the breaker,
hit the button, and nothing,
153
00:08:45,533 --> 00:08:47,667
and you could smell,
like, you know,
154
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:49,200
really strong burning wire.
155
00:09:20,233 --> 00:09:23,933
Buzz believes Trey
forgot to idle the generator
156
00:09:23,967 --> 00:09:28,067
that powers the wash plant
in his rush to fire up Rocky.
157
00:09:39,067 --> 00:09:41,633
Hey, I think
he had the generator running
when I got here.
158
00:09:41,667 --> 00:09:43,800
I don't know
if he tried to start it
before I got here or not.
159
00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:51,600
I don't know what happened
before I got here, but...
160
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:52,500
Yeah.
161
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:54,767
.
162
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:26,300
King of the Klondike,
Tony Beets,
163
00:10:26,333 --> 00:10:29,400
is fighting a war
on two fronts.
164
00:10:29,433 --> 00:10:32,333
At Paradise Hill,
he's eager to sluice
165
00:10:32,367 --> 00:10:34,200
the stripped super pit,
166
00:10:34,233 --> 00:10:38,800
but first, he needs to build
a new wash plant pad
for his trommel.
167
00:11:06,133 --> 00:11:07,833
Twelve weeks in,
168
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:09,233
Tony's chaotic start
169
00:11:09,267 --> 00:11:12,567
has banked him only 343 ounces
170
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,067
of his 6,000 ounce gold.
171
00:11:42,233 --> 00:11:44,933
40 miles south
at Indian River,
172
00:11:44,967 --> 00:11:48,233
daughter, Monica,
wages another battle
173
00:11:48,267 --> 00:11:50,933
keeping the family's
only moneymaker,
174
00:11:50,967 --> 00:11:53,267
the shaker deck, running.
175
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:54,833
It's nice to be sluicing
176
00:11:54,867 --> 00:11:57,433
because we're actually
making steps
177
00:11:57,467 --> 00:12:02,333
towards the 6,000-ounce goal
versus just doing nothing.
178
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:03,533
I mean,
if Tony does wanna reach
179
00:12:03,567 --> 00:12:04,967
this 6,000-ounce goal,
180
00:12:05,067 --> 00:12:07,633
we need more than
one plant going,
181
00:12:07,667 --> 00:12:10,233
'cause this is the latest
we've ever gone.
182
00:12:11,433 --> 00:12:16,067
Uh, in my 20-ish years
of working here,
183
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,767
just started sluicing.
184
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,233
Keep going the loader,
get a scoop ready.
185
00:12:21,067 --> 00:12:22,067
Sounds good.
186
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:25,233
Right now,
I'm just kind of working
187
00:12:25,267 --> 00:12:28,700
on moving the dirt
that's over here
188
00:12:28,733 --> 00:12:30,500
to the other side,
189
00:12:30,533 --> 00:12:33,300
just so that I have
a nice area to turn around
190
00:12:33,333 --> 00:12:36,300
and back up after I dump it
into the hopper.
191
00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:38,900
New Beets hire,
Chelsea March,
192
00:12:38,933 --> 00:12:41,600
loads pay dirt
into the wash plant.
193
00:12:43,333 --> 00:12:46,100
I worked in civil construction
for a bit
194
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:48,200
and I worked in a mine
in Alberta,
195
00:12:48,233 --> 00:12:50,667
so I'm kind of
familiar with it.
196
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:54,600
Yeah.
197
00:12:54,633 --> 00:12:56,367
As a woman,
it's a little bit harder
198
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,367
to get into
equipment typically.
199
00:13:01,867 --> 00:13:04,300
It's just a nice step
forward for sure.
200
00:13:04,333 --> 00:13:06,867
It's really cool
to see a bunch of women
201
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:08,533
running the .
202
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:11,200
Clearing
the waste tailings
203
00:13:11,233 --> 00:13:12,900
away from the wash plant,
204
00:13:12,933 --> 00:13:16,433
Leonard Parker,
also new to the Beets crew.
205
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,067
Hey Chelsea,
how's it going?
206
00:13:19,067 --> 00:13:20,833
Yeah,
things are going really well.
207
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:23,433
That's good.
Tony and Monica
will both be happy.
208
00:13:23,467 --> 00:13:25,367
Lots of running time.
Lots of sluicing.
209
00:13:26,067 --> 00:13:26,867
Yeah, dawg.
210
00:13:27,533 --> 00:13:28,700
I just looked in there today
211
00:13:28,733 --> 00:13:29,900
and we got
quite a bit of gold.
212
00:13:29,933 --> 00:13:31,867
Yeah. Monica showed me
a few pieces there earlier.
213
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:34,700
She's pretty, uh,
pretty full in there.
214
00:13:42,133 --> 00:13:43,133
Hey, Chelsea,
215
00:13:43,167 --> 00:13:44,367
there's two pieces
of screen come out.
216
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,367
Shut it down. Shut it down.
217
00:13:57,067 --> 00:13:58,233
.
218
00:14:07,333 --> 00:14:08,633
Copy, Monica. Copy, Monica.
219
00:14:08,667 --> 00:14:10,800
Shutting the plant down.
We had a up.
220
00:14:22,267 --> 00:14:23,900
Hmm.
221
00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:24,833
Great.
222
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:27,867
Evan, do you copy? Evan?
223
00:14:28,767 --> 00:14:30,233
If all the rocks,
bigger ones,
224
00:14:30,267 --> 00:14:32,133
are falling down
onto our little screens,
225
00:14:32,167 --> 00:14:34,233
which are gonna put a hole
in our little screens,
226
00:14:34,267 --> 00:14:35,733
then we have a big problem.
227
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,567
So Evan,
we'll get a chunk of steel?
228
00:14:41,533 --> 00:14:43,067
Put a piece
of punch plate over it.
229
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:44,400
-Yeah.
-Maybe some rubber.
230
00:14:44,433 --> 00:14:45,467
Yeah.
231
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:47,500
Get her through
until the pieces are here.
232
00:14:50,933 --> 00:14:53,067
Monica's 50-ton
shaker deck
233
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,333
uses vibrating plastic screens
234
00:14:55,367 --> 00:14:57,500
to filter gold from the dirt.
235
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:02,300
But a large rock has smashed
into the top deck,
236
00:15:02,333 --> 00:15:04,767
breaking off
two screen panels,
237
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,067
allowing rocks to fall through
238
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:08,867
and clog up the plant,
239
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:11,733
stopping gold
reaching the sluice runs.
240
00:15:14,067 --> 00:15:15,633
Monica's quick fix?
241
00:15:15,667 --> 00:15:17,700
Bolt a scrap piece
of punch plate
242
00:15:17,733 --> 00:15:19,267
to cover the hole
243
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:21,900
and get back
on the gold, fast.
244
00:15:23,967 --> 00:15:25,967
Those look a little
up, eh?
245
00:15:26,067 --> 00:15:27,233
Yeah.
246
00:15:28,233 --> 00:15:30,367
I'm gonna get underneath
the lower deck.
247
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,533
- Okay.
- Mmm-hmm.
248
00:15:31,567 --> 00:15:32,600
And put these bolts up through
249
00:15:32,633 --> 00:15:34,133
because I gotta hook these
under the frame rail.
250
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:35,233
I'll screw them on
for you.
251
00:15:35,967 --> 00:15:36,967
We can do it.
252
00:15:37,067 --> 00:15:38,967
I'm a strong
independent woman anyway.
253
00:15:40,067 --> 00:15:42,067
How's Evan gonna get in here?
254
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:43,467
It's not
what we wanna do
255
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:44,900
at any point in the season,
256
00:15:44,933 --> 00:15:46,167
especially
this late in the game.
257
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,400
Here we are shutting down
because of a breakdown.
258
00:15:48,433 --> 00:15:51,600
Luckily, between Leonard
and Chelsea and Evan
and myself,
259
00:15:51,633 --> 00:15:53,767
we should be able
to get it fixed,
260
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,533
but it's not what I need
and not what I want.
261
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:10,067
That one's in
an inconvenient spot, Leonard.
262
00:16:10,933 --> 00:16:12,600
This will have to do
until they get
263
00:16:12,633 --> 00:16:13,967
some proper poly decking.
264
00:16:19,233 --> 00:16:22,333
So he's gonna pop some holes
into the steel,
265
00:16:22,367 --> 00:16:26,400
bolt the steel and the rubber
down to this plate.
266
00:16:27,567 --> 00:16:30,267
To protect
the punch plate and bolts,
267
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,500
Monica covers it
with rubber matting
268
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:35,333
to cushion
the impact of the rocks.
269
00:16:35,367 --> 00:16:37,767
Well, that was just
a band-aid,
270
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,633
but hopefully
it'll last.
271
00:16:39,667 --> 00:16:41,300
At least
we can start it up now.
272
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:43,433
And, uh...
273
00:16:45,767 --> 00:16:48,900
hopefully, hopefully it works.
274
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:20,067
At Duncan Creek,
275
00:17:20,067 --> 00:17:23,800
Rick's wash plant, Rocky,
is at a standstill.
276
00:17:29,167 --> 00:17:32,167
Buzz Legault,
on trial to be foreman,
277
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,200
troubleshoots the issue.
278
00:17:35,233 --> 00:17:38,300
Desperate to get back
to finding gold.
279
00:17:46,067 --> 00:17:47,567
-Buzz, what's going on?
280
00:17:59,067 --> 00:18:02,467
What a stupid .
281
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:04,133
I mean, that's why
you're in charge down here.
I know it ain't you.
282
00:18:04,167 --> 00:18:05,800
I mean,
I don't know what you gotta do
if you gotta tell everybody
283
00:18:05,833 --> 00:18:06,800
to just keep
their hands off,
284
00:18:06,833 --> 00:18:08,167
they don't know
what's going on.
285
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,633
You know, I'm up there
286
00:18:09,667 --> 00:18:10,933
trying to strip
more ground for us to run
287
00:18:10,967 --> 00:18:11,833
and we'll never get into it
288
00:18:11,867 --> 00:18:12,900
if we don't get
the plant running.
289
00:18:15,067 --> 00:18:16,967
All right. Thanks.
Get her going.
290
00:18:17,067 --> 00:18:17,967
-Thanks, bud.
291
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,367
No luck?
292
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:08,500
As the generator
wasn't idled up,
293
00:19:08,533 --> 00:19:12,867
it's now malfunctioning,
outputting too much power,
294
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:14,933
causing the circuit breaker
to trip.
295
00:19:25,467 --> 00:19:27,833
On top
of the issues
with the wash plant,
296
00:19:28,933 --> 00:19:32,800
Buzz is also struggling
on the home front.
297
00:19:32,833 --> 00:19:36,133
Earlier this year,
he and his wife, Susi,
298
00:19:36,167 --> 00:19:38,433
were given devastating news.
299
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,433
Buzz is going
through some heavy
right now.
300
00:20:37,467 --> 00:20:40,100
You know, I think he knows
that I know...
301
00:20:40,133 --> 00:20:42,533
You know, I know a bit
about what he's going through
302
00:20:42,567 --> 00:20:43,700
and, you know, I...
303
00:20:43,733 --> 00:20:45,733
It's, you know, ,
it's a tough thing, man.
304
00:20:45,767 --> 00:20:48,467
I really feel for the guy,
let's put it that way.
305
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:50,633
I wanna make sure
that he knows
306
00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:53,467
how much I appreciate him
for everything he's done here
307
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:55,500
and make sure
that he goes home,
308
00:20:55,533 --> 00:20:59,033
you know,
as successful as he can be,
309
00:20:59,067 --> 00:21:01,767
and ready to deal with,
you know, whatever may come.
310
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:09,433
Buzz,
grabs a spare generator.
311
00:21:09,467 --> 00:21:11,067
Hopefully, this will
solve our problems.
312
00:21:11,067 --> 00:21:12,167
Hopefully.
313
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,200
At Rick's other
wash plant, Monster Red.
314
00:21:14,233 --> 00:21:16,067
All right. Let's go.
315
00:21:16,067 --> 00:21:18,833
To swap out
with Rocky's faulty one.
316
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:50,900
Come on, baby.
317
00:22:00,933 --> 00:22:02,167
.
318
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:19,900
You know, I've gotta
stay ahead of the game,
I gotta be up here stripping.
319
00:22:19,933 --> 00:22:21,400
You know,
I can't be everywhere at once,
320
00:22:21,433 --> 00:22:23,167
but I need everything
to go smoothly.
321
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,467
So hopefully, Buzz gets
that generator fixed quick
322
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:28,100
and gets the plant running.
323
00:22:28,133 --> 00:22:29,800
At Duncan Creek,
324
00:22:29,833 --> 00:22:32,100
Rick Ness
is stripping the Bench Cut.
325
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:35,967
But down at the Bacon Strip...
326
00:22:42,633 --> 00:22:44,967
His wash plant,
Rocky, is still down
327
00:22:45,067 --> 00:22:47,633
with a mysterious
electrical problem.
328
00:22:56,767 --> 00:22:58,667
All right.
So what's the plan, boss?
329
00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:01,067
After ruling out
the generator,
330
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:05,100
Buzz is still looking
for answers.
331
00:23:22,233 --> 00:23:24,200
Okay. Just checking.
332
00:23:34,733 --> 00:23:36,867
The switch gear
and fuses
333
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:39,500
sit between the generator
and Rocky,
334
00:23:39,533 --> 00:23:42,500
protecting the wash plant
from electrical surges.
335
00:23:42,533 --> 00:23:45,100
Buzz decides to bypass
the switch
336
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:48,700
by connecting the generator
directly to Rocky's fuses.
337
00:23:48,733 --> 00:23:50,467
If his gamble works,
338
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:53,133
electricity should be sent
directly to Rocky
339
00:23:53,167 --> 00:23:56,233
and power the motor
that drives the wash plant.
340
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:09,733
Buzz is working
his magic right now.
341
00:24:09,767 --> 00:24:13,567
And hopefully...
342
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,300
what he's doing works out.
343
00:24:16,333 --> 00:24:18,833
You ready to fire up
this generator or what?
344
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:35,667
Come on, baby.
345
00:24:39,367 --> 00:24:41,067
yeah!
346
00:24:42,833 --> 00:24:44,333
yeah. Woo.
347
00:24:44,367 --> 00:24:46,300
-Way to go, buddy.
348
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,733
We knew it.
349
00:24:53,767 --> 00:24:55,067
It feels great.
350
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,167
I just...
I feel awesome.
351
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,900
Buzz worked his magic.
352
00:24:58,933 --> 00:25:00,267
It's time to sluice.
353
00:25:01,633 --> 00:25:02,900
I'm very relieved.
354
00:25:12,067 --> 00:25:15,167
Buzz is finally
back on the gold
355
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,933
and still has a shot
of promotion to foreman.
356
00:25:37,067 --> 00:25:40,100
We know there's still
a lot of work
to be done at Big Red.
357
00:25:40,133 --> 00:25:41,567
So we really need
to get out there
358
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,800
and getting the radial stacker
359
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,500
and getting the feeder
and getting the pipeline,
360
00:25:44,533 --> 00:25:48,800
and there's tons of stuff
that needs to get done.
361
00:25:48,833 --> 00:25:51,900
And it's all gotta get done
in the next 24 hours.
362
00:25:51,933 --> 00:25:55,733
Parker's crew
is racing to get Big Red
fired up
363
00:25:55,767 --> 00:25:58,567
and finally sluicing
Dominion's Money Pit,
364
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,967
and start seeing a return
365
00:26:01,067 --> 00:26:04,167
on the claim's $15 million
price tag.
366
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,633
It's all good,
wheel chocks out.
367
00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:10,833
First, the 100-foot
long radial stacker,
368
00:26:10,867 --> 00:26:12,933
which moves dirt up
to the plant,
369
00:26:12,967 --> 00:26:14,667
is moved into position.
370
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:18,167
We're going to attempt
to push it up our hill here.
371
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,500
Should be interesting.
Let's see how it goes.
372
00:26:21,767 --> 00:26:23,300
Oh, she's coming up
the hill here.
373
00:26:23,333 --> 00:26:24,933
She's at the bottom.
374
00:26:30,067 --> 00:26:32,200
Swing left, swing left,
swing left.
375
00:26:34,967 --> 00:26:36,533
Yeah, we're really
narrow here.
376
00:26:43,233 --> 00:26:45,067
All right. Your axles are up.
377
00:26:49,667 --> 00:26:51,233
That's pretty good
right there.
378
00:26:51,267 --> 00:26:53,267
I'll put the park brake on.
379
00:26:55,567 --> 00:26:58,900
Next, Big Red's
10-ton hopper feeder.
380
00:26:58,933 --> 00:27:00,400
So right now,
we're just lining up
381
00:27:00,433 --> 00:27:02,433
our hopper feeder
to our radial stacker.
382
00:27:03,467 --> 00:27:05,500
You can see how our lineup's
pretty straight.
383
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,067
Best try that there.
384
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,400
Bring this in to the right
just a little bit.
385
00:27:13,933 --> 00:27:15,667
The radial stacker
is betting on the money
386
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:17,633
to the pre-wash of Big Red.
387
00:27:17,667 --> 00:27:20,733
So this is another
crucial point.
388
00:27:20,767 --> 00:27:23,333
The more precise we get
with our setup,
389
00:27:23,367 --> 00:27:24,900
the more hassle-free it'll be.
390
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:34,300
Whatcha thinking?
391
00:27:34,333 --> 00:27:35,533
Nice setup.
392
00:27:35,567 --> 00:27:37,200
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah, looks good.
393
00:27:37,233 --> 00:27:39,233
- It's getting there.
- It looks good.
394
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:42,300
You guys nailed
it on that one.
395
00:27:42,333 --> 00:27:43,600
That's sweet.
396
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,867
We've got Big Red
almost ready to fire up here.
397
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:54,900
We got the conveyors in,
we've got the sluice box in,
398
00:27:54,933 --> 00:27:56,067
we've got power.
399
00:27:56,067 --> 00:27:57,267
The only thing left here
400
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:58,900
is hooking up
our water supply.
401
00:27:58,933 --> 00:28:01,300
Once we do that,
we're gonna be able
to flash this plant up
402
00:28:01,333 --> 00:28:02,400
and hopefully we see
a lot of gold
403
00:28:02,433 --> 00:28:03,533
by the end of the week.
404
00:28:05,633 --> 00:28:09,467
I'm gonna drag this pipe
to ol' trusty Big Red there.
405
00:28:10,767 --> 00:28:13,833
Using an excavator,
mechanic Alec Kelly
406
00:28:13,867 --> 00:28:18,067
hauls the 400-foot long pipe
to Big Red's pan.
407
00:28:24,767 --> 00:28:28,300
I'm just easing this pipeline
off the bank here.
408
00:28:28,333 --> 00:28:30,233
It's still got
some water in it,
409
00:28:30,267 --> 00:28:31,767
which makes it a bit heavier.
410
00:28:35,733 --> 00:28:36,867
You're gonna
have some trouble
411
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:38,333
getting over this high bank.
412
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:42,067
Just keep an eye on that post
413
00:28:42,067 --> 00:28:43,500
it's rubbing up against.
414
00:28:54,367 --> 00:28:55,300
Yeah, it looks good.
415
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,733
Trying to work quickly,
416
00:29:02,767 --> 00:29:05,100
but very gingerly
at the same time.
417
00:29:12,333 --> 00:29:15,067
Oh, my .
418
00:29:25,267 --> 00:29:28,300
Our pipeline broke at a fuse,
so we gotta re-fuse it
419
00:29:28,333 --> 00:29:31,733
and put her back together
and then be back on track.
420
00:29:38,567 --> 00:29:39,433
Want more?
421
00:29:43,567 --> 00:29:45,133
At Dominion Creek
422
00:29:45,167 --> 00:29:47,867
in the race to get
Big Red sluicing,
423
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:51,500
Parker's crew has broken
the vital pipeline.
424
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,333
Might have some room
to move it back
425
00:29:55,367 --> 00:29:58,700
if you clamp it down
with the hydraulic.
426
00:29:58,733 --> 00:30:00,367
Is that enough
or you want more?
427
00:30:02,233 --> 00:30:04,033
I've never wanted
less in my life.
428
00:30:07,667 --> 00:30:11,233
We're just gonna be
joining these two pieces
of pipe together,
429
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:13,500
uh, we gotta cut up
the faces first,
430
00:30:13,533 --> 00:30:15,867
make them nice and smooth
and then we'll just...
431
00:30:17,533 --> 00:30:18,633
melt them together.
432
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,567
I'll grab the hot plate
and plug it in.
433
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:24,100
Okay.
434
00:30:30,167 --> 00:30:31,700
- Hi, Ty.
- Hi.
435
00:30:31,733 --> 00:30:32,833
Are you guys winning?
436
00:30:35,233 --> 00:30:37,033
Coming in hot, Ty.
437
00:30:37,067 --> 00:30:38,833
Watch yourself,
Tyrone.
438
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,333
We need to heat
the pipe up
439
00:30:44,367 --> 00:30:46,367
for a certain amount of time
440
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,400
and then we'll take
the hot plate out
441
00:30:48,433 --> 00:30:50,067
and we'll use...
442
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:51,667
Using pressure
to push them together.
443
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:53,067
So, like, 20 minutes
444
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:55,067
until this is ready
to be drugged.
445
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:56,033
Yeah.
446
00:30:56,067 --> 00:30:57,067
All righty.
447
00:31:03,167 --> 00:31:04,600
Perfection.
448
00:31:07,167 --> 00:31:08,633
Holy .
449
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:10,767
I think it had
a little too much.
450
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,467
As long as she holds.
451
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:13,833
The repaired pipe
452
00:31:13,867 --> 00:31:16,500
can now finish its journey
to Big Red.
453
00:31:18,433 --> 00:31:20,500
All the things we do
to get sluicing, eh?
454
00:31:20,533 --> 00:31:23,133
Oh, yeah,
it's all these little
455
00:31:23,167 --> 00:31:26,200
that really
makes it operational.
456
00:31:30,933 --> 00:31:32,500
So here we go.
457
00:31:32,533 --> 00:31:34,533
We're all set
to start sluicing...
458
00:31:36,433 --> 00:31:39,400
and then we'll add some water
and add some dirt.
459
00:31:39,433 --> 00:31:42,367
First fire up of Big Red
of the season.
460
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:55,867
Now,
we're getting somewhere.
461
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:59,767
After nearly
three months
462
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,467
and over $20 million,
463
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:04,867
Parker is finally sluicing,
464
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:10,100
and will find out
just how good the ground is
at Dominion Creek.
465
00:32:10,133 --> 00:32:12,700
It's so nice to have Big Red
finally fired up
466
00:32:12,733 --> 00:32:14,967
and seeing this pay dirt
going up these conveyers
467
00:32:15,067 --> 00:32:16,267
through this wash plant.
468
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:18,333
And if there's any gold
out here in the Money Pit,
469
00:32:18,367 --> 00:32:20,200
guaranteed this wash pile
will find it.
470
00:32:52,133 --> 00:32:53,233
Everything's running
pretty good,
471
00:32:53,267 --> 00:32:55,067
so hopefully it stays
this way, eh?
472
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:56,600
Yeah.
I know Monica's doing
473
00:32:56,633 --> 00:32:58,700
a killer job
running this place.
474
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:05,133
The Beets family's
only gold-catching wash plant
475
00:33:05,167 --> 00:33:06,833
is back up and running
476
00:33:06,867 --> 00:33:09,600
after Monica's bush fix
of the screen deck.
477
00:33:09,633 --> 00:33:11,467
Yeah.
She's been all over it.
478
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:13,767
She's, uh, kind of a boss
around here.
479
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,500
Yeah.
No, she's great.
480
00:33:15,533 --> 00:33:16,900
Yeah. It's pretty badass.
481
00:34:20,067 --> 00:34:21,067
It's not.
482
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,167
Here's your first
Christmas present.
483
00:34:56,699 --> 00:34:58,367
Yeah.
484
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,233
Steel's bent and half
your plastic decking is gone.
485
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:14,467
Yeah. Pretty much .
486
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:17,267
Monica's bush fix
has failed
487
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:21,133
and once again
there are holes
in the screen deck.
488
00:35:42,833 --> 00:35:43,967
Yeah.
489
00:35:44,067 --> 00:35:46,500
Until replacement
screens arrive,
490
00:35:46,533 --> 00:35:50,500
Tony is forced to shut down
his Indian River operation
491
00:35:50,533 --> 00:35:55,367
and once again no gold
is coming in.
492
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,900
So what do you thinking
about the 6,000 ounce gold?
493
00:35:57,933 --> 00:35:59,500
Because I don't
see it happening.
494
00:36:16,733 --> 00:36:19,600
Before relocating
to Paradise Hill,
495
00:36:19,633 --> 00:36:24,067
Monica and Ruby clean up
the shaker deck's final gold.
496
00:36:24,067 --> 00:36:26,567
Plant's down,
you guys know this.
497
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,167
Sucks to be us,
498
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,167
but, uh, we got gold
in the box.
499
00:36:32,233 --> 00:36:34,967
And, uh, Chelsea
if you whip that up,
500
00:36:35,067 --> 00:36:36,667
you can see,
nice little pocket,
501
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:38,400
nice little pocket,
nice little pocket.
502
00:36:38,433 --> 00:36:39,400
- Yeah.
- Yup.
503
00:36:39,433 --> 00:36:41,067
We got
gold, so...
504
00:36:41,067 --> 00:36:43,567
It's just gotta
come out. All right.
505
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,233
I think Tony better
really double down
506
00:36:46,267 --> 00:36:48,767
on making sure the hill
gets going quickly,
507
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,367
because we are nowhere near
his 6,000 ounce goal.
508
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,400
Uh, we have a super
short season,
509
00:36:55,433 --> 00:36:59,267
so this is, like,
the worst honestly.
510
00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:00,500
Took us a long time
to get going
511
00:37:00,533 --> 00:37:02,133
and now we're down again.
512
00:37:02,167 --> 00:37:03,767
We're kind of
513
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,300
because this was
the only plant
514
00:37:05,333 --> 00:37:07,067
that was bringing in gold.
515
00:37:07,067 --> 00:37:10,133
This is...
Yeah, this is just .
516
00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:22,267
Little cozy little fire
you got here.
517
00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:23,833
Yeah. It's toasty.
518
00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:25,900
Hmm.
519
00:37:25,933 --> 00:37:27,567
On the Ness claim,
520
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,533
Buzz is still recovering
521
00:37:29,567 --> 00:37:31,833
after his trial run
as foreman.
522
00:37:31,867 --> 00:37:33,800
What happened
to the generator?
523
00:37:33,833 --> 00:37:35,567
Did it run out of fuel?
Did it...
524
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,767
-What?
-It just up.
525
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,300
Ask the guys that were there.
526
00:37:39,333 --> 00:37:40,867
It's, uh, it's just...
527
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:42,700
It was a situation,
528
00:37:42,733 --> 00:37:45,167
but we got it figured out.
529
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,200
Yeah.
530
00:37:46,233 --> 00:37:47,600
It is what it is.
531
00:37:47,633 --> 00:37:49,067
Yeah. Let's just weigh
this up.
532
00:37:49,067 --> 00:37:51,567
Ooh, let's weigh some gold.
533
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,767
Rick's bacon
strip cut is lean ground,
534
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,333
averaging just 30 ounces
a week.
535
00:37:57,367 --> 00:37:58,967
Bacon Strip's
what we got.
536
00:37:59,067 --> 00:38:00,233
We're gonna be finished
with it soon,
537
00:38:00,267 --> 00:38:01,700
so let's see what
it gave us this week.
538
00:38:04,567 --> 00:38:08,500
2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10.
539
00:38:08,533 --> 00:38:11,600
14, 17, 20,
540
00:38:11,633 --> 00:38:13,967
24, 25.
541
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,233
25.95.
542
00:38:20,067 --> 00:38:22,267
Despite
the setbacks,
543
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:26,600
Buzz delivered over
$50,000 worth of gold.
544
00:38:26,633 --> 00:38:28,700
Definitely better
than a kick in the ass.
545
00:38:28,733 --> 00:38:31,433
flipped out,
you fixed it,
546
00:38:31,467 --> 00:38:33,967
you kept things going
and, um, you know,
547
00:38:34,067 --> 00:38:35,867
that's the kind of
we need out here.
548
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:37,800
Put you in charge,
hits the fan,
549
00:38:37,833 --> 00:38:39,200
even if it's not your fault,
550
00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:41,200
you keep things rolling,
and you did.
551
00:38:41,233 --> 00:38:42,833
So, you're foreman
if you want the job.
552
00:38:42,867 --> 00:38:44,267
Ooh.
553
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:45,967
- yeah. Thank you
very much, man.
- You got the job.
554
00:38:46,067 --> 00:38:47,467
- Good job.
- I appreciate that.
555
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:50,800
Buzz-a-roo.
556
00:38:50,833 --> 00:38:52,367
no problem.
557
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,300
- Thanks, buddy.
- Good job, man.
558
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:55,800
Foreman Buzz.
559
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,567
We got
a long ways to go.
560
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,733
We're gonna keep that going,
561
00:38:59,767 --> 00:39:01,300
but, uh, we gotta get on
some better ground.
562
00:39:01,333 --> 00:39:03,267
- Yeah.
- So hopefully
there's something up
563
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:04,867
on that bench, I don't know.
I think there's...
564
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:06,733
I think there's
opportunity there,
565
00:39:06,767 --> 00:39:08,067
but it's a matter of just
getting up there
566
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:09,467
and uncovering it.
567
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:12,700
I need a thousand ounces
this year to
make everything work.
568
00:39:12,733 --> 00:39:14,633
You know, and all you guys
will walk away from here
569
00:39:14,667 --> 00:39:16,133
with good gold bonuses
because I want...
570
00:39:16,167 --> 00:39:17,900
I want every one of you back.
571
00:39:17,933 --> 00:39:19,533
Buzz, you're way overdue.
572
00:39:19,567 --> 00:39:22,067
And obviously
there's more reason
for that than ever this year.
573
00:39:24,633 --> 00:39:26,300
And I wanna make sure
you walk out of here
574
00:39:26,333 --> 00:39:28,267
with a meaningful
amount of gold,
know what I mean?
575
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:30,333
I want this to mean something.
576
00:39:30,367 --> 00:39:31,567
If we don't hit
a thousand ounces,
577
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,867
there's no place
to come back to.
578
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:35,800
You know? We're gonna
do better, so...
579
00:39:42,933 --> 00:39:44,467
You're my boy, Blue,
come on now.
580
00:39:46,733 --> 00:39:48,600
We got this, bud, we got this.
581
00:39:59,567 --> 00:40:01,467
- Hey, guys.
-Hi.
582
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:04,633
After a rough week
on the Indian River...
583
00:40:04,667 --> 00:40:06,933
Hey, it's good
to have you back here.
584
00:40:06,967 --> 00:40:08,667
-I mean, not really.
- I know.
585
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:10,567
I'm here, that means
something's wrong there.
586
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,367
The Beets family
gather to weigh the gold
587
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,600
from Monica's wash plant,
their only money maker.
588
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,067
Basically what you do
is you do one step forward
589
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:25,333
and you do five backwards?
590
00:40:25,367 --> 00:40:27,633
-More, like, 12.
-More, like, one step forward
591
00:40:27,667 --> 00:40:30,100
and then you hit that snake
and you go all the way
592
00:40:30,133 --> 00:40:31,367
-back down the board.
- Hmm.
593
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,000
How is the plant
coming along?
594
00:40:43,733 --> 00:40:45,000
It's been ridiculous.
595
00:40:48,233 --> 00:40:49,800
Give the man a pat
on the shoulder.
596
00:40:52,067 --> 00:40:53,567
Good job, dad. Good job.
597
00:40:55,067 --> 00:40:56,900
You must be
so proud of yourself.
598
00:41:02,633 --> 00:41:04,067
It is, it's--
599
00:41:06,333 --> 00:41:07,967
-Well, we haven't... It's...
600
00:41:08,067 --> 00:41:10,433
I can't remember, not ever.
601
00:41:12,067 --> 00:41:13,467
I think we should weigh it up.
602
00:41:14,633 --> 00:41:15,767
And you're counting.
603
00:41:17,233 --> 00:41:21,167
Tony has less than
400 ounces in the bank
604
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,167
to hit his 6,000 ounce gold.
605
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:29,067
He now needs over 450 a week
for the rest of the season.
606
00:41:29,067 --> 00:41:33,933
110, 100... 118.94.
607
00:41:35,067 --> 00:41:39,100
Worth over
$230,000.
608
00:41:48,967 --> 00:41:49,900
- Yeah.
- Yup.
609
00:41:49,933 --> 00:41:52,800
I think you probably
go get some people
610
00:41:52,833 --> 00:41:54,800
and trucks out of the Indian.
611
00:41:54,833 --> 00:41:58,600
You guys are gonna focus
on the tunnel here.
612
00:41:58,633 --> 00:42:00,467
- Yup.
-In other words.
613
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:01,900
Get out.
614
00:42:05,167 --> 00:42:06,333
You too, you know.
615
00:42:21,767 --> 00:42:23,933
For the first time
this season,
616
00:42:23,967 --> 00:42:26,767
Parker is running
two wash plants.
617
00:42:27,867 --> 00:42:30,967
Sluicifer at the El Dorado cut
618
00:42:31,067 --> 00:42:34,533
and Big Red at
Dominion Creek's Money Pit.
619
00:42:35,933 --> 00:42:38,500
It's nice to have Big Red
back in action,
620
00:42:38,533 --> 00:42:39,700
it's produced a lot of gold
over the years
621
00:42:39,733 --> 00:42:41,567
and hopefully it does
the same thing here.
622
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:42,767
We should try
to figure out
623
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,167
what it's done per ounces.
624
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,367
I'm sure I could figure it out
and take some time,
625
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,667
but it must be 25,000, 30,000.
626
00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:54,267
-Oh, yeah.
-You know, hopefully
this ground is good.
627
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:56,600
It just depends on how thick
the pay is gonna be here.
628
00:42:56,633 --> 00:42:58,900
Well, you gotta answer
that question, Chris.
629
00:42:58,933 --> 00:43:00,800
Is there any gold in it?
630
00:43:02,267 --> 00:43:03,700
Two hander and a grunt.
631
00:43:03,733 --> 00:43:05,700
-Or I'm just a .
632
00:43:05,733 --> 00:43:09,133
To his 5,000
down season target,
633
00:43:09,167 --> 00:43:12,967
Parker needs to average
over 300 ounces a week.
634
00:43:13,067 --> 00:43:17,233
First up, Sluicifer,
which ran for seven days.
635
00:43:18,767 --> 00:43:20,067
Can you see
the scale?
636
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:23,600
- Oh, yeah.
-40, 60,
637
00:43:23,633 --> 00:43:28,067
80, 100, 140, 180...
638
00:43:28,067 --> 00:43:29,367
- And my patience
is out.
- 200.
639
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,767
I can tell.
640
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,833
250.7.
641
00:43:32,867 --> 00:43:34,600
-Atta baby.
- Ooh.
642
00:43:34,633 --> 00:43:39,233
Worth over
$500,000.
643
00:43:39,267 --> 00:43:41,200
It's not bad.
644
00:43:41,233 --> 00:43:42,733
That's not bad.
645
00:43:42,767 --> 00:43:45,200
Next,
the moment of truth.
646
00:43:45,233 --> 00:43:47,533
Big Red ran Money Pit pay dirt
647
00:43:47,567 --> 00:43:49,633
for less than two days.
648
00:43:49,667 --> 00:43:51,900
All right. First run
on Big Red of the season here.
649
00:43:53,100 --> 00:43:54,667
What do we got?
650
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:57,133
Based on estimates
from the drill tests...
651
00:43:57,167 --> 00:43:59,400
That's 20, 30, 40, 50.
652
00:43:59,433 --> 00:44:02,067
...it should
deliver over 70 ounces.
653
00:44:02,067 --> 00:44:05,433
118.2.
654
00:44:05,467 --> 00:44:07,067
Nice.
655
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:11,067
Worth over
$230,000.
656
00:44:11,067 --> 00:44:13,433
It's nearly double
the projections.
657
00:44:13,467 --> 00:44:18,767
Bringing their season total
to 1,643 ounces.
658
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,133
So not a bad little, uh,
startup for Big Red.
659
00:44:22,167 --> 00:44:23,567
-Yeah.
-Get a full run on there,
660
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,733
that thing'll look good.
661
00:44:24,767 --> 00:44:26,400
How many hours was that?
662
00:44:26,433 --> 00:44:28,433
Forty-four hours on Big Red
663
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,833
-for, uh, hundred, almost...
-So it's, like,
664
00:44:31,867 --> 00:44:34,767
um, almost three ounces
an hour.
665
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,067
2.6.
666
00:44:36,067 --> 00:44:37,867
That's pretty impressive.
667
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:40,933
Uh, you know, we went
from a 200 ounce a week
668
00:44:40,967 --> 00:44:43,067
to almost a 400 ounce a week.
669
00:44:44,533 --> 00:44:48,433
Parker's gamble
looks like it might pay off,
670
00:44:48,467 --> 00:44:51,700
but only a full week
of sluicing will tell.
671
00:44:51,733 --> 00:44:53,700
When you get
the two plants running,
672
00:44:53,733 --> 00:44:57,500
that I think is the key
to hitting our goal, 5,000.
673
00:44:57,533 --> 00:44:58,767
Still got a long way to go.
674
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,300
Yeah.
675
00:45:00,333 --> 00:45:01,367
We're not even halfway.
676
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,833
An awful long ways from there.
677
00:45:02,867 --> 00:45:05,067
we're not
in good shape.
