Original subtitles

[Rick] Everyone has been working nonstop here busting their asses,

trying to move this overburden.

I mean, we've made a lot of progress,

but we've got a long way to go here in Vegas Valley.

And that is, uh, no small project to try and do,

especially this late in the year.

[narrator] It's the start of fall.

And in what could be Rick Ness's last ever season at Duncan Creek,

he's on a do-or-die mission to hit a potential $2 million payday.

[Rick] We gotta make this place work like clockwork.

We gotta be as efficient as we can.

We'll get down to this pay as fast as we can

if we're gonna have any chance of sluicing again this year.

[narrator] But to get the gold,

Rick's had to spend the entire crew's profits.

[Ryan] All that gold bonus right now is being spent

instead of going in our pockets.

So If we don't hit that goal at the end of the season,

that doesn't just ruin Rick, I mean, that ruins us all.

[Bailey] We've just been, you know, pretty much spending money,

and we're going to be spending money

until we get finally down to the pay.

So it's definitely a big gamble over here.

[narrator] Earlier this season...

Make sure you get every last bit.

[narrator] ...Rick hit a 900-ounce jackpot

mining out the Rally Valley pit.

Three hundred and ninety two point one three.

-Awesome. -Jeez, Louise, man.

[narrator] Three weeks ago, he went on a high-stake treasure hunt...

[Rick] The channel from Rally Valley comes all the way down the valley.

[narrator] ...chasing the same nugget-rich pay channel

at the bottom of the 210-foot deep Vegas Valley.

The drill holes are showing between 200 and $250,000 a day.

[narrator] To get to the gold,

Rick's crew has dug down nearly 100 feet,

but they've still got more than 60 feet to go before they hit pay dirt.

With no gold coming in, the pressure is on to ramp it up.

[Rick] It's a big project. There's a lot of dirt to move,

but you know, there's only so much time left, only so many hours of the day.

And we're running three trucks right now.

I do have a fourth truck, and that's what we need to get this done.

I'm kind of maxed out with people right now.

Ryan, my mechanic's running the truck.

Jason and Heather from the office, they're all running trucks.

So really, I'm gonna have to get another person.

-Yo. -Yo.

Uh, I think it's time to park this thing and, uh,

maybe get a truck and help those guys out.

I mean, Bailey's sitting in that 750.

You know, there's three trucks running right now.

That 750 is more than capable of loading four trucks.

So if you can get in that fourth truck,

keep that one excavator going, I think that's the best bet.

I know you don't like it, but that's the game now, right?

You know, get in the truck.

Thanks, bud. Get in the truck.

[Buzz speaking]

[Rick] Everybody wants that job on the top, the excavator,

because it's the most, you know, it's prestigious,

and that's kind of where Buzz is at right now.

Buzz doesn't feel like he should be,

you know, in a truck or you know what I mean?

But that's just not how it works here.

Everybody's gonna wear a lot of hats.

[narrator] Buzz in the fourth Rock truck

allows Rick to shift an extra 3,600 tons of dirt every day.

And he should now be on track to hit pay in less than two weeks.

-Hey, Buzz. -[Buzz speaking]

[Bailey] How's the new truck working out for you? Doing good?

[singing]

You're doing such a great job over there, man.

Hopefully it gets a little bit faster here,

but, you know, right now it's all on me.

I like the responsibility and the pressure.

You know, it's... it's nice.

Hey, Buzz, you got a copy? You got a bleep] ton

of black smoke. you better get that looked at.

-[Ryan] That's pretty [bleep] black. -[Buzz speaking]

[Ryan] Sounds like [bleep].

All right. Let's get it shut off.

Don't get a load or don't do any of that [bleep].

-We'll end up [bleep] melting this engine down. -[Buzz speaking]

[Ryan] My biggest fear is that we've got a locked-up turbo.

The turbo should be able to spin freely by hand.

And I can't even get it to spin.

So, yeah, that's... that's what I was afraid of.

When it's not feeding air to the engine,

the engine's running on pure fuel only,

and that's why we had black smoke coming out.

Buzz probably stuck a rock in here and sabotaged it.

I don't blame him. Rock trucks suck.

[narrator] To get Buzz back on the road,

mechanic Ryan Kent replaces the broken turbo

with a $4,500 spare.

[Ryan] Everything right there looks good.

Done, clean, fluids changed.

It's unfortunate for you.

[Buzz speaking]

-You get to haul [bleep] slop. -[chuckles]

Fire it up.

[engine revs]

All right. Well, good enough for me.

[narrator] After just four hours downtime,

Ryan's quick fix has Buzz back in the race to hit Vegas Valley pay.

[Bailey] And you're back.

It's nice, man. We've got four trucks going.

Hopefully, it's working good.

[Buzz speaking]

[Parker] Time is really not our friend this season.

It's been a rough one as far as gold goes.

But it could be a lot worse.

Record-high gold prices are saving our ass.

[narrator] One hundred miles east,

Parker Schnabel is battling to save his season from disaster.

His ambitious plan to hit big gold at Dominion Creek

severely misfired,

and Parker's been pivoting ever since.

[Parker] We really need three plants running.

You know, we've got Big Red and Roxanne running right now on Dominion,

but you know, like just gold total wise,

our only hope of getting ahead this fall

is going to be to keep three plants running as long as we can.

[narrator] To turn his fortunes around,

Parker gambled $2.5 million on pre-stripped ground at Sulphur Creek,

hoping for a quick 1000-ounce score.

So far, it's delivered nearly 400,

but had to be shut down for two weeks

while the crew stockpiled more pay.

[Parker] Bob hasn't been able to stay running,

mainly because it's just hungry.

Two hundred and thirty yard an hour wash plant.

But they got the pay pile stacked back up

and we can fire the plant back up and get running again.

And hopefully Damien can make that happen.

[narrator] To help bail him out,

Parker needs Sulphur Creek's plant boss, Damien Browne to deliver 600 more ounces

by the end of the season.

[Parker] So how are things going?

[Damien] Uh, pretty good.

[Parker] You have a hoe operator and two truck drivers.

It's just like smaller crew. It's spread so thin already.

-[Damien] Yep. -You know.

That plant is very hungry.

But if you can keep the pay pile built up,

you might be able to keep it going, right?

-[Damien] Yeah. -[Parker] You'll be fine.

And just try to keep the wash plant running.

-[Damien] It's that easy. -Yeah.

We have pay up, and get Bob fired up and get some pay into him.

Well, let's fire it up.

Just gonna have to go down and pump.

I just gotta get loads of water jetting out.

You can't exactly expect us to bloody run that [bleep] through a wash plant.

Sean, do you copy, Sean?

Yeah, go ahead.

[Damien] Can you come over and meet me by the pond?

-Yeah, 10-4, buddy. I'll be over in a couple. -[Damien] Cheers, mate.

[Sean] What's going on, buddy?

Oh, [bleep].

[Damien] So, as you can see, we're fighting here with this [bleep]

flowing in from our ditch.

The previous owners used this pond as a waste dump,

and now we're paying the consequences.

We're going to have to come up with some sort of a solution to stop this.

[Damien] It's just absolute dirt.

You can't exactly expect us to bloody run that [bleep] through a wash plant.

[narrator] At Sulphur Creek, the intake pond feeding wash plant Bob

is filled with junk.

Damien can't fire up until he has a clean water source.

[Sean] What do we think about a culvert?

Put it below the water level and then sticks stay on top

and everything just goes underneath through it.

[Damien] It's a day's work just to get that done.

I was kind of thinking build some sort of a beaver dam.

Stop all this [bleep] floating on top,

and the water should flow in underneath it.

[Sean] We've got quite a few nice spruce trees up there.

Look like they'd float pretty good.

That should slow it down quite a bit, I would think.

[Damien] That's a bloody good idea. I like it.

[narrator] To stop junk from floating into the plant's water supply,

Damien's creating a makeshift dam of trees,

then will clear the debris from the smaller pond.

[Damien] This is a real bush fix.

We'll find out pretty damn soon if it's gonna work.

And, uh, hopefully, I'm not the laughing stock of the Yukon.

[narrator] If his bush fix works,

Damien will have saved hours of downtime and lost gold.

[Damien] I'm just crossing my fingers right now

we can fire Bob back up again.

Let's hope now that that's the last of our issues.

I think if this doesn't work...

...Parker's gonna be pissed with me.

Whoa! Far out.

The water is looking pretty good right now.

Whoo!

I'm damn happy with that.

[narrator] King of the Klondike, Tony Beets,

is looking to finish the season strong.

He's mined over 3,800 ounces,

but has hobbled with just one wash plant sluicing for gold.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] To get back on track,

Tony wants a second wash plant up and running fast.

And he's looking to his daughter to take on the challenge.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] Three weeks ago,

daughter Monica tried to kick start her own operation at Paradise.

You told me this cut was going to be mine.

[narrator] And mine the three-acre Hester Cut,

a pocket of virgin ground Tony believed was missed by the old timer's dredges.

[narrator] But an unexpected discovery in the Super Pit...

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] ...diverted Tony's resources and torpedoed her dreams.

[Tony speaking]

But I'm feeling a little shafted.

[Tony speaking]

Hey, I've been expecting you.

[Monica] It's been like a nonstop issue.

Everything to do with this Hester Cut

being just sort of pushed down the list.

[Monica] [bleep] yeah.

[Tony speaking]

-Done deal. -[Tony speaking]

Sounds like a plan. I'm happy to get it going.

[Tony speaking]

I'm really glad to see it's finally happening.

It took long enough.

Nice to see that the guys showed up.

[narrator] Without a crew of her own,

Monica needs her brother Mike and his crew to get her pump into position.

[Monica] See, we've got a ramp down here.

We'll put the pump down right in there.

[Mike] I'll drive it in myself 'cause that's a little bit tricky ground.

[Monica] And if you're willing to do it, be my guest. Thank you very much.

You are a good brother.

I'm always happy to give my sister a helping hand whenever I can.

She wants to have a look at what's in this cut.

So, first step, a long time coming, but it's finally happening.

[narrator] To drain the Hester Cut,

Mike is bringing in one of Tony's famous Frankenstein machines.

This monster has been brought to life,

fusing the body of a 65-year-old pipe layer with a 30-year-old pump.

Mike will drive it down to the cut,

use its 20-foot-long boom to extend out,

lower its six-inch submersible pump into the deep water

and directly suck out 1,000 gallons an hour,

revealing the Hester Cut's. gold-rich pay,

The guys are getting things going.

We can just lay the hoses out.

Hopefully, very soon we'll be pumping water

water and it'll be all hunky dory.

[narrator] To remove the water,

Monica needs to pump it 150 yards away into an old settling pond

on the other side of the access road.

Stick it in.

There you go.

Hey. Hey. We did it.

They'll have that hooked up in no time.

And then we'll start it up.

-So... -We are going to start it up.

We're gonna start it up, yeah.

[narrator] Last step, attach the lay flat to the pump.

[bleep]

Oh, you are gonna be the bane of my [bleep] existence.

This [bleep] ain't gonna line up the way I want.

Because [bleep] me, apparently.

[narrator] The final clasp that holds the pipe onto the pump isn't closing.

So if you look, it's stuck like so.

So they're just trying to use brute force to push it closed so it holds.

Sometimes it's just a pain in the ass and it doesn't want to go.

More push out, yeah.

[Monica] That's what they're just arguing with.

She's not budging.

[Mike] Yeah, we have to get it.

-Eventually, she'll catch. -There we go.

It's never coming off.

That was a pain in the ass. I'm finally done.

[Monica] Next step is to put the submersible pump in.

-You ready? -[Monica] Yep.

[engine stuttering]

That doesn't sound very happy.

[engine revving]

[Monica] Whoo!

Good to start the engine.

Now we'll let it warm up for a second.

And we can hopefully start drying this cut.

Pull the lever.

-[Monica] Whoo. -[narrator] With the Hester Cut draining,

Monica is one step closer

to getting her own piece of the Beets family empire.

It's really nice to see the pump up and running.

Hopefully only be a couple of days before that hole's pumped out.

So we can start moving some dirt.

I'm excited to see what's gonna come out of this Hester Cut.

[Rick] It's only been a couple of days

since we've had the fourth truck.

And they moved a lot of dirt.

There's a payoff here if we can get to it.

[narrator] Rick Ness's crew is running four trucks to get down to a gold bonanza

at the bottom of the 210-foot deep Vegas Valley.

We've got a small crew. But we've got to work hard.

And we got to work tight together to make this happen.

Hey, you know, it's definitely a little bit busier now with four trucks going here.

But this is what we've got to do

to get to the pay and get that gold.

[Buzz singing]

[narrator] His small crew stretched to the limit,

Rick's asked foreman Buzz to drive truck and haul 90 loads every day.

[Buzz speaking]

[Ryan] Buzz is in a rock truck right now, and he's not happy about it.

But if a small team's gonna work,

everybody's got to be willing to sacrifice

doing [bleep] that they don't want to do.

And that's just how it's gonna be.

If you bitch about it, you might as well just go home.

[Heather] I feel like Buzz would prefer not being in a truck,

but being in an excavator or working on it.

Getting the plant ready to move.

But he's got to be in a truck right now.

I mean, the goal is 1,500 ounces,

and we're not going to get there if no one wants to get into a rock truck.

[bleep]

Really missing that loader grading this road down a little bit.

It's rough on me. I can only imagine it's rough on the truck.

Yeah, rough roads, not fun.

[bleep]

I just ripped a hole in my pants.

That's how rough the roads are.

[narrator] The four rock trucks constantly hauling waste

have beaten up the 2,000-foot-long loop road.

[Heather] Rick, do you have a copy?

[Rick] Yep, go for Rick.

This road is so bumpy. My phone is like, "Are you in an emergency?

Why are you shaking so hard?"

Copy that. Rick for Buzz.

[Buzz speaking]

[Rick speaking]

[narrator] To fix the uneven section of road,

Buzz gets back into an excavator and lays down course rocks,

but is still not happy.

[Buzz speaking]

[sighs]

[snoring]

Hey, Buzz, you got a copy?

[snoring continues]

[Rick] Buzz must have fell asleep.

Used to be last year it was just like,

"Oh, well, he goes out to work 4:30 in the morning every morning,"

So I guess it's okay if he takes a nap during the middle of the day.

But let me find out he's just sleeping out there anyways

and now he's not even going out early.

So now he's been sleeping during the day.

I don't really know what to [bleep] do about it.

I just keep sitting around hoping that he's gonna shape [bleep] up, but,

it kind of isn't happening.

[snoring continues]

[horn blaring]

Why the [bleep] does he not know

that he can't sleep on the job?

Hey, Buzz!

[Buzz speaking]

For the love of [bleep], hey, stop sleeping in the [bleep].

You know, everybody else is tired,

but everybody else is, you know,

out here in a machine doing their [bleep] jobs,

and we got you sleeping [bleep] machine right in everybody's face.

Like, what kind of message does that send?

They're [bleep] gonna listen to a guy that sleeps on a machine all day.

[Buzz speaking]

I think every ounce of gold Parker can get this year he needs it.

I think the wash plants are going to be shaking right up

until they can't shake no more.

[narrator] Damien and his crew

have been sluicing for three days

and are hopeful it will deliver big gold by the end of the week.

Bob is so bloody hungry.

Like, I didn't think we were going

to get through this ground as quick as we are.

We just really need to keep hammering hard at it.

[narrator] Operator Jacob McClure is feeding the wash plant,

while Damien is in the only excavator on site

loading pay dirt for his crew to haul to the pay pile.

[Brandon] Yeah, it's nice having the plant back going,

getting sluicing again to keep the money coming in.

There is good gold here.

[Jacob] The truck should have six-wheel drive,

but she's only down to two-wheel.

There's been so much mud in the wet time of the season, it makes it real difficult.

But for now, it's just a matter of us

getting that pay stockpiled so we can keep this thing running.

[bleep] Piece of [bleep]. Come on, man.

Let's go. Come on.

We're gonna have to get a pull out.

Damien, you got a copy, buddy?

[Damien] Yeah, go ahead.

[Jacob] I've got a little issue here.

Kind of buried the back end of this truck.

Gonna need a little tug.

[Damien] Oh, [bleep] hang on. Okay, I'll run over.

Yeah, he's just gonna have to grab me right by the front of the box.

He's just gonna have to give me a little pull here,

and I'm just gonna have to put my foot into her and work on my way out.

All right. [bleep]

Come on. Come on. There we go.

Oh, [bleep] me.

Like, that's a big ass crack.

I can get my knife straight through it.

I mean, man, we cannot run it like this,

otherwise, this whole copper is gonna rip clean off the bucket.

[narrator] Pulling the 45-ton truck out of the mud

has cracked the top plate of the bucket.

We have to shut this 480 down. We can't run it like this.

I mean, Parker's gonna be [bleep] pissed.

[Damien] It's just after 4:00 in the morning now.

We cannot justify having an excavator down for any time at all

because it's hard keeping up with that wash plant.

[narrator] Damien Browne's only excavator at Sulphur Creek

is down with a broken bucket.

He's driven 25 miles to Parker's Dominion lay-down yard

on the hunt for a replacement.

[Damien] Because there's so many buckets around here,

I'm not 100% sure which is the right one.

I'm pretty sure this one is the same.

I bloody really hope it is.

We're just really needing to get this bucket back. over to Sulphur

and get this hoe back up and running.

With the few people and the equipment that we have,

it's getting stressful.

Yeah, 10-4. And I'm getting kind of concerned.

Home sweet home.

Hopefully, this bucket is the right one for this coupler

because if it's not, yeah, it's a massive kick in the nuts.

[bleep]

That had me worried there for a moment.

Oh, [bleep] yeah.

Boom. [laughing]

[bleep] yeah, boys.

[Damien] It's time to get some gold back to Parker.

[narrator] A new bucket fitted to the 480,

Damien avoids shutting down wash plant Bob

and gets back to building up the pay pile.

[Brandon] It's awesome that Damien worked so hard to pull through

and managed to come up with that bucket

and get us going first thing in the morning like that.

Now we're back to hauling pay.

[Damien] Yeah, we finally got a bucket on this machine,

and we're building up the stockpile again,

and the plant still has pay in front of it.

So that's all that really matters.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] On a mission to ramp up gold production,

Tony Beets has son Mike running his trommel at full throttle.

And after four days of draining,

he's hoping to get the first pay

out of daughter Monica's Hester Cut.

[Monica] Yeah.

[Monica] Sure.

Nice.

And no [bleep].

[Tony speaking]

[Monica] Well, it still looks pretty wet to me.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] The Hester Cut was previously stripped down to pay,

but the banks have caved in and turned it into a swampy mess.

We really should've pulled everything out in the spring,

but, you know, should have, could have, would have.

[Monica] Yes, sir.

[narrator] On the hillside of the Hester Cut,

the banks are super saturated with water,

causing the soil to liquefy and collapse into the cut covering the pay.

To hold back the mudslides,

the Beets must haul in coarse rocks

from a nearby pile of old tailings to sure up the bank.

The tailings will also act as a French drain,

allowing excess water to flow into the cut,

which will then need pumping out once everything has settled.

[Tony speaking]

If we don't push some of these ceilings in...

...the hillside is going to fall in pretty soon.

How's your end going?

[Tony speaking]

[Monica] Yeah, totally.

[narrator] To get more tailings to stop the landslide from covering even more pay,

Monica switches to an excavator and loads a rock truck.

[Monica] Whoa!

Get it over there.

[Tony speaking]

[Monica] All right.

Well, I see a lot of gravel down here.

Hopefully the hillside won't fall down anymore.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] The waterlogged hill is still too dangerous to mine.

Until it dries out, Monica's plans are put on hold once again.

[Monica] It's never ending.

I don't know if the Hester Cut will get started ever.

Hello, baby.

I love you.

Mwah.

[narrator] After nearly five months away,

Damien's wife, Pascal, and son, Malachi,

have traveled all the way from Ireland to see him.

-We're going in the rock truck. -Whoo-hoo.

Whoo.

Broom, broom, broom, broom, broom, broom.

Say bye bye to Mommy.

[Malachi vocalizes]

Oh, wow! Look at the loader.

It feels amazing to see Malachi with his dad.

Driving around in the trucks 'cause he loves machinery.

-[vocalizes] -Where?

There's Mama?

I'm sure he won't want to get out of it. [chuckles]

Beginning this season. I know I had the best crew out here to start it,

and I got to figure out a way to end it that way.

[narrator] At Vegas Valley, Rick's crew have been running four trucks,

and now have less than 20 feet to dig before they hit pay,

but it hasn't been clear sailing.

Buzz doesn't feel like he should be in a truck.

And you can tell he's doing it with a chip on his shoulder

and he's doing the bare minimum and everybody can see it.

And that's the problem.

[Buzz speaking]

[Rick] Rick for Buzz.

[Buzz speaking]

[Rick] Come and meet me down by the side of the road.

Oh.

The reason I wanted to talk to you...

I mean, just, yeah, [bleep].

You know, everybody else is tired,

but, uh, we got you sleeping on a machine right in everybody's face.

Like, It's not fair to everybody else. I mean, it really isn't.

And it's, you know, it's a problem.

You know, all season hasn't felt like

you've really wanted to be as involved as last year.

So...

Well, talk to me.

[Buzz speaking]

I know. Yeah, I know that.

I didn't kick you out of that to be [bleep].

I kicked you out of that because I needed you.

I need you doing more than one thing.

I keep Bailey in there because Bailey is not able to do other things.

Look at how many people we have here.

There's not a 100-person crew here.

I mean, if I've got to fill in, I'm gonna go sit in the truck.

You're not the senior operator.

You're not the [bleep] guy on this crew.

You're gonna jump in where [bleep] you fit in

or you're gonna go the [bleep] home.

It's just how it is, so...

[Buzz speaking]

Yeah. I...

I mean, I...

I didn't see that.

Sorry,

I, uh...

I need you.

These guys need your help.

I mean, I want you to be part of this team.

You're a big part of this team.

-I made that clear last year, you know. -Okay.

[Rick] And, um, I mean, I said it a lot last year and I meant it.

You know, like, this is the best team I've ever had.

But I don't want to lose anybody.

Well, you're at the top of the heap.

If you're sticking around, are we good?

We're on the same page.

It's the only way it's gonna work.

Honestly?

All right.

I ain't getting up at 4:00 in the [bleep] morning

when you're due to have a meeting with you.

So you can [bleep] off with that.

If you want me to send you flowers, I ain't doing that either.

[both chuckling]

-Give me a hug. -[bleep]

[Buzz speaking]

-All right, pal. Good talk. -Yeah.

I'll give you another... I'll give you another hug at dinner.

[chuckling]

It's good to clear the air with Buzz.

Um, I think the air is clear. I mean, it is on my part.

Do I think he got everything off his chest? I'm not sure.

Um, he sounded like he wanted to get pretty animated about his role,

you know, and the trucks and all that, and I get it.

But, you know, that's my decision.

We're a small crew and everybody needs to get in where they fit in

on that day, and if he's got a problem with that going forward, well,

that will be a problem, but if he doesn't, I think we're good.

[Minnie] Hi, guys. Hello.

Okay, what's happening?

So, Mike, how's everything with that trommel going?

Yeah, ran pretty good. Seven days.

Sure would be nice to start washing some rocks out at Hester.

I mean, we do have issues down there at the moment, but...

[Monica] Yeah.

[Monica] Yeah.

Should we, uh, see what Mike brought in this week?

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] To stay on track for Tony's 5,000-ounce season goal,

his only running wash plant needs to deliver at least 200 ounces.

One hundred, 110, 120, 130, 140,

150, 160, 170,

210, 220, 230, 240,

250, 260, 270, 280,

290.

320.56.

[narrator] Worth over $800,000.

Bringing the season total to 4,159 ounces.

[Tony speaking]

Mmm-hmm.

[Minnie] He can do that again.

[Mike] Well, I hope to be doing that weekly.

If you got your plants going, you'd be doing that, too.

-Okay. -Don't kick me out. I'll leave. [chuckles]

[Mike speaking]

-[Tony speaking] -[Mike] Yeah.

Take your [bleep] with you, man.

-[Monica] Bye, everybody. -[Minnie] Bye.

-[Monica] Can't I do both? -[Tony speaking]

Bosco.

Hey, pup.

Looking for snacks.

[narrator] All season, Parker's Dominion operation

has struggled to bring in the gold.

But with Sulphur back online,

Parker is hoping for a big haul.

By the sounds of it Damien had a hell of a week over at Sulphur.

Man, I really liked his idea there for his Yukon water filtration system.

Yeah, a couple of trees goes a long way.

And Red's chugging along?

Yep, still in the red gravels in their happy place.

All right. Speaking of Red, let's do Red.

[narrator] Before Parker's decision to run red gravel pay,

the Bridge Cut was averaging just 75 ounces a week.

We got 10, 20, 40,

60.

We're gonna break 100. One hundred.

105.

110.3.

Yeah, well done.

-Nice work. Red Gravel's paying off. -Yeah.

It still sucks, but it's better than it was.

All right, Mitchell.

Roxanne, here we go.

[narrator] Roxanne's nearing the end of the Long Cut

and last week delivered just over 200 ounces.

[Mitch] Twenty, 30,

40, 50, 60, 80,

110, 115,

120, 130.

132.0.

On the nose.

Oh, yeah, not in the place we thought we'd be this part of the season.

And Mister Bob here.

[narrator] With the gold on Dominion coming up short,

it's up to Sulphur to pick up the slack.

All right, here we go.

Twenty, 40,

60, 70,

100, 115, 120,

130, 140, 150, 170.

176.2.

[narrator] Worth over $440,000.

[Parker] But at least there's gold coming in.

Yeah.

Could be better but it could also be a lot worse.

Yeah.

For the week we had 418.5 ounces.

Our season total, 4,593.9

-Bosco likes it. He's celebrating. -Yeah.

-Keep them running, guys. Keep them running. -All right.

-Right on. -Thank you, guys.

-Thank you. -We'll go keep some plants running.

-[Parker] Good luck. -[all laughing]
