1
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:20,767
We have very high expectations,
and people need to meet
2
00:00:20,767 --> 00:00:22,200
those expectations.
3
00:00:22,367 --> 00:00:25,166
So we need to recognize
that there's a certain portion
4
00:00:25,166 --> 00:00:27,667
of people that won't meet
those standards.
5
00:00:27,834 --> 00:00:31,000
And if we have people that are
dragging the team down then,
6
00:00:31,166 --> 00:00:32,767
like, that needs to be dealt
with, right?
7
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:39,600
[narrator]
In his ruthless pursuit
of a record $35-million season,
8
00:00:39,767 --> 00:00:43,767
Parker Schnabel only wants
the best of the best,
9
00:00:43,934 --> 00:00:47,300
and one person is
lagging behind.
10
00:00:47,467 --> 00:00:50,767
It's never easy trying to let
somebody go,
11
00:00:50,934 --> 00:00:53,367
but everybody needs to be
a team player,
12
00:00:53,367 --> 00:00:54,667
and this guy is not.
13
00:00:54,667 --> 00:00:57,867
So we have no choice
but to say,
14
00:00:58,033 --> 00:01:00,467
"Sorry, you don't fit here.
You don't work."
15
00:01:05,367 --> 00:01:06,700
Hello, Tayvin.
16
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:08,166
Before your shift starts
tonight, I was wondering
17
00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:10,266
if you wouldn't mind popping
to the office here.
18
00:01:10,433 --> 00:01:11,800
I'd like to see you.
19
00:01:11,967 --> 00:01:13,400
Yeah.
20
00:01:13,567 --> 00:01:15,000
OK, great.
Thanks.
21
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:16,166
Bye bye.
22
00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:26,967
Parker's mine manager,
Nona Loveless, has called in
23
00:01:27,133 --> 00:01:29,667
Tayvin Peterson,
a loader-operator
24
00:01:29,667 --> 00:01:31,400
in his second year
at Dominion.
25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,000
[Nona] Hello, how are you?
26
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:35,166
[Tayvin speaking]
27
00:01:35,333 --> 00:01:36,367
[Nona] Good.
28
00:01:36,533 --> 00:01:37,967
Yeah, unfortunately,
we're going to have
29
00:01:38,133 --> 00:01:39,100
to let you go, Tayvin.
30
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:40,600
[Tayvin speaking]
31
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:43,266
[Nona] You just have a really
[bleep] attitude for this place.
32
00:01:43,266 --> 00:01:45,700
You just are very
much a know-it-all.
33
00:01:45,867 --> 00:01:46,900
When I asked you
to do something,
34
00:01:47,066 --> 00:01:48,300
you thought you were
doing it better.
35
00:01:49,266 --> 00:01:50,900
And that just doesn't work
around here.
36
00:01:51,066 --> 00:01:53,667
[Tayvin speaking]
37
00:01:53,667 --> 00:01:58,700
[Nona] I've given you ample
weeks of opportunity to do
38
00:01:58,867 --> 00:02:02,400
what is asked of, and you still
do it Tayvin's way.
39
00:02:03,467 --> 00:02:04,667
[Tayvin speaking]
40
00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:06,367
[Nona] And then you boast about
how many loads you can get
41
00:02:06,367 --> 00:02:07,667
in an hour.
Who does that?
42
00:02:07,667 --> 00:02:09,633
[Tayvin speaking]
43
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:13,367
[Nona]
Tayvin, what am I telling you?
44
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:15,367
See, right now, that's exactly
what you're doing.
45
00:02:15,367 --> 00:02:16,400
You're doing...
46
00:02:16,567 --> 00:02:18,066
No, no, but you're --
47
00:02:18,233 --> 00:02:20,100
No, but no, you're not,
because you're not listening
48
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:21,667
to what I am saying.
49
00:02:21,667 --> 00:02:23,400
[Tayvin speaking]
50
00:02:23,567 --> 00:02:25,066
[Nona] Well, you're not
thinking ahead, bud.
51
00:02:25,233 --> 00:02:26,333
You're not.
52
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:28,400
You're falling behind
because you're not listening.
53
00:02:28,567 --> 00:02:32,266
So you can pack up...
and head on out.
54
00:02:32,433 --> 00:02:33,400
Thanks.
55
00:02:34,967 --> 00:02:36,467
[Tayvin speaking]
56
00:02:36,633 --> 00:02:39,467
[Nona] Yeah, attitude just,
it doesn't fly around here.
57
00:02:39,633 --> 00:02:41,467
-I mean...
-[Tayvin speaking]
58
00:02:41,467 --> 00:02:43,600
[Nona] Yeah, well, I tried
telling you how many times?
59
00:02:44,667 --> 00:02:49,467
If my boss, my senior, tells me
to do something, guess what?
60
00:02:51,567 --> 00:02:52,600
See? See?
61
00:02:52,767 --> 00:02:54,567
You're still -- you're still --
I've let you go,
62
00:02:54,734 --> 00:02:56,867
and you're still telling me
that you're right.
63
00:02:57,033 --> 00:02:58,266
Get out of here!
Honestly, go!
64
00:02:58,433 --> 00:03:00,266
I don't even want --
I don't even want -- go!
65
00:03:00,433 --> 00:03:02,166
Go! Get out of here.
66
00:03:07,166 --> 00:03:08,600
[somber music plays]
67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,066
[Tayvin] I don't understand
the logic behind it.
68
00:03:25,233 --> 00:03:29,467
I think if they had the time
to sit down with me, and...
69
00:03:29,467 --> 00:03:32,367
understand or hear
my side out,
70
00:03:33,767 --> 00:03:36,000
that it would make a lot more
sense to them, but...
71
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,000
[sighs deeply]
72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,300
This is sad.
73
00:03:51,266 --> 00:03:53,633
[whirring]
74
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,066
[Parker] We've had a bit
of turnover this year.
75
00:03:58,233 --> 00:04:02,467
We've been hiring and firing.
Working here is not easy,
76
00:04:02,467 --> 00:04:05,166
and we have a lot to do,
and you know, you need
77
00:04:05,166 --> 00:04:07,467
good people
that you can count on.
78
00:04:07,633 --> 00:04:10,400
We're like, at a pretty decent
point in the season
79
00:04:10,567 --> 00:04:13,667
and starting
to pick up momentum.
80
00:04:13,667 --> 00:04:15,767
We've got four
washplants running.
81
00:04:15,767 --> 00:04:19,100
If we can keep the wheels
on the bus, you know,
82
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:21,467
we're in a very good place,
but it's going to take
83
00:04:21,633 --> 00:04:23,500
a lot of effort and work
on everybody's part
84
00:04:23,667 --> 00:04:25,800
in order to make that happen.
85
00:04:25,967 --> 00:04:29,467
Halfway through the season,
Parker's already banked
86
00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:32,467
over $18 million
worth of gold.
87
00:04:33,467 --> 00:04:38,367
But recently, plant breakdowns
and spotty ground have seen
88
00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:42,867
his gold numbers slow down
to less than 500 ounces a week.
89
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,100
[Parker] The gold weighs
needs improvement.
90
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:48,367
If it continues like this,
we're in real trouble.
91
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,900
I trust all our managers.
92
00:04:51,066 --> 00:04:53,000
We have a really good group
of people.
93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,467
And at Dominion this year,
94
00:04:55,633 --> 00:04:58,867
Tyson is definitely doing
a really good job.
95
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:02,667
[Tyson] I have
the three washplants moved
96
00:05:02,834 --> 00:05:05,166
and up and running here
at Dominion.
97
00:05:05,166 --> 00:05:08,266
It's wild because of how busy
this place is right now.
98
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,667
There's a lot going on.
99
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:13,667
We got all our stakes
in the fire right now, so...
100
00:05:14,667 --> 00:05:16,867
hopefully it doesn't
bite us in the ass.
101
00:05:16,867 --> 00:05:21,867
After Tayvin's firing,
Dominion's foreman, Tyson Lee,
102
00:05:21,867 --> 00:05:24,200
is down a loader-operator.
103
00:05:24,367 --> 00:05:29,300
Now he needs to train up a
new hire to feed washplant Bob.
104
00:05:29,467 --> 00:05:31,166
[Tyson] I have some time
to spend with India,
105
00:05:31,166 --> 00:05:34,100
and get her
feeding the washplant.
106
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,100
India's been in a loader
for five, six days now,
107
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:40,433
and now it's about time
she learns how to feed a plant.
108
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:48,066
Working in the loader, in all
honesty, is pretty difficult.
109
00:05:48,233 --> 00:05:52,266
In the Bridge Cut,
rookie India Greenhalgh has
110
00:05:52,433 --> 00:05:55,100
less than a month's gold mining
under her belt.
111
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:59,300
You know, I've left one job that
I'm actually pretty good at,
112
00:05:59,467 --> 00:06:03,400
starting a job that
I know nothing about.
113
00:06:03,567 --> 00:06:06,800
It's not an easy thing to do,
but I want to be good at this.
114
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:10,000
I don't just want to be OK.
I want to be awesome.
115
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,066
While this is India's
first season mining,
116
00:06:17,233 --> 00:06:20,500
it isn't her first rodeo
in the Yukon.
117
00:06:20,667 --> 00:06:21,700
Hi, Tony!
118
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:25,166
For four years,
India worked behind the camera
119
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:27,266
with the "Gold Rush" film crew.
120
00:06:27,266 --> 00:06:31,066
[India]
Historically, I've worked
on Tony's claims, but I did do
121
00:06:31,233 --> 00:06:33,867
one stint on Parker's claim,
122
00:06:34,033 --> 00:06:35,266
and that's how me
and Tyson met.
123
00:06:35,433 --> 00:06:36,367
Hi.
124
00:06:36,367 --> 00:06:37,567
[Tyson] Oh, thanks.
125
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,567
You know, I remember when
she first came to site here,
126
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:43,200
and I saw her right then
and there, and I thought,
127
00:06:43,367 --> 00:06:45,266
"oh, I've got to get
to know her."
128
00:06:47,066 --> 00:06:50,867
[India]
Whilst this is very different,
there was no real option for me
129
00:06:50,867 --> 00:06:52,900
having a boyfriend
that lives in Canada.
130
00:06:53,066 --> 00:06:56,000
A gold mine is definitely not
a place that I thought I was
131
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:58,700
ever going to find love,
but here I am.
132
00:06:58,867 --> 00:07:01,867
I am loving it, quite frankly.
133
00:07:02,767 --> 00:07:04,100
I'm loving love.
134
00:07:04,266 --> 00:07:05,367
Cheers.
135
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,967
-[India] Hi, babe.
-[Tyson] How's it going, babe?
136
00:07:09,133 --> 00:07:10,166
[India] Yeah, good.
137
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,266
So watch what I do when I'm...
138
00:07:16,367 --> 00:07:18,166
going to throw a scoop
in the hopper.
139
00:07:21,567 --> 00:07:22,967
So you want to get
nice and straight
140
00:07:23,133 --> 00:07:24,300
with the hopper first.
141
00:07:26,567 --> 00:07:29,467
And then start lifting.
Same thing as a rock truck,
142
00:07:29,467 --> 00:07:31,567
when you're loading
a rock truck.
143
00:07:31,567 --> 00:07:34,200
You want to come in...
144
00:07:34,367 --> 00:07:37,400
and then you want to aim
for the middle of the target.
145
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:40,200
See how I'm not spilling
any material off the back,
146
00:07:40,367 --> 00:07:41,367
not spilling any material
off the front?
147
00:07:41,533 --> 00:07:42,533
[India] Yeah.
148
00:07:42,533 --> 00:07:44,166
And then when my bucket is
dumped all the way,
149
00:07:44,333 --> 00:07:46,767
I'm lowering my boom,
lowering my center of gravity.
150
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:50,266
When you're running to the back
of the cut like this,
151
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,767
keep in mind there's no one up
at the plant right now.
152
00:07:53,767 --> 00:07:55,266
You're the one
watching it, right?
153
00:07:56,567 --> 00:07:58,800
From way back here,
I'm looking at the belts,
154
00:07:58,967 --> 00:08:00,667
making sure there's material
going up them,
155
00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:02,667
making sure
nothing looks askew,
156
00:08:02,834 --> 00:08:05,100
making sure the tailings
conveyor is going.
157
00:08:05,266 --> 00:08:06,467
Yeah, that makes sense.
158
00:08:06,633 --> 00:08:09,000
You see something,
hit the breaker and run up
159
00:08:09,166 --> 00:08:12,100
and open the bypass
and close the main.
160
00:08:13,667 --> 00:08:15,867
-[banging]
-[India] Agh!
161
00:08:15,867 --> 00:08:17,467
-What?
-Smacked my head.
162
00:08:17,633 --> 00:08:19,266
Well, don't smack
your head then.
163
00:08:19,433 --> 00:08:21,967
You're not a bobblehead.
[Tyson chuckles]
164
00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:23,767
Just watch next time.
165
00:08:26,667 --> 00:08:28,467
[rumbling softly]
166
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:31,367
[Tyson] [bleep]!
167
00:08:31,367 --> 00:08:32,367
That is not good.
168
00:08:32,367 --> 00:08:34,266
See how that material
is not moving?
169
00:08:34,266 --> 00:08:35,867
Do not ignore that.
Jump out.
170
00:08:36,033 --> 00:08:37,000
Jump out.
It's clogged.
171
00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:40,667
Stand back and watch me
this time.
172
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:46,066
The hopper feeder is
clogged with pay,
173
00:08:46,233 --> 00:08:48,266
stopping it from
getting to the plant.
174
00:08:49,266 --> 00:08:50,667
[Tyson]
OK, back in the loader.
175
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,300
So that's why
it's really important...
176
00:09:02,266 --> 00:09:03,900
-[India]...to watch.
-[Tyson] Yeah.
177
00:09:07,266 --> 00:09:09,200
-OK, your turn.
-OK.
178
00:09:09,367 --> 00:09:11,200
-I'll be on miner two.
-[India] OK.
179
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
[dozer rumbling]
180
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,200
[Tyson] Go up.
181
00:09:21,367 --> 00:09:23,066
Up.
182
00:09:23,233 --> 00:09:24,367
Up.
183
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:28,700
So just get nice and square
with the feeder first.
184
00:09:32,166 --> 00:09:33,367
It's nerve-racking.
185
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:39,266
There's small adjustments.
Straighten out.
186
00:09:39,433 --> 00:09:42,000
Keep going.
You're fine.
187
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,467
Start booming up.
Boom up.
188
00:09:44,467 --> 00:09:46,166
[India] Am I straight?
Am I straight?
189
00:09:46,333 --> 00:09:48,367
Boom up.
Boom up faster.
190
00:09:48,367 --> 00:09:51,567
Stop moving forward.
Boom up.
191
00:09:51,734 --> 00:09:53,166
Now slowly start dumping.
192
00:10:03,367 --> 00:10:05,500
Once you've cleared
the hopper, boom down,
193
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:07,166
so boom down now.
194
00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:08,266
Yeah, it's good there.
195
00:10:09,166 --> 00:10:10,967
It's really
nerve-racking, actually.
196
00:10:11,967 --> 00:10:13,967
I've got the world's
driest mouth.
197
00:10:14,133 --> 00:10:15,200
[chuckles]
198
00:10:19,066 --> 00:10:20,300
Nice.
199
00:10:20,467 --> 00:10:23,266
[sighs deeply]
200
00:10:23,266 --> 00:10:24,867
[India] It's a lot harder
than it looks.
201
00:10:26,367 --> 00:10:28,567
[Tyson] Keep doing this
for another four months.
202
00:10:28,734 --> 00:10:30,200
[India laughs]
203
00:10:30,367 --> 00:10:31,266
[Tyson] All righty.
204
00:10:31,433 --> 00:10:32,266
I'm going to go.
205
00:10:32,266 --> 00:10:33,900
Bye -- I'll be back.
206
00:10:34,066 --> 00:10:35,367
She's all yours.
207
00:10:35,367 --> 00:10:36,633
[India, unsteady] OK.
208
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:42,166
It's very much on me to make
sure that this plant is running
209
00:10:42,166 --> 00:10:43,667
as it should be.
210
00:10:43,834 --> 00:10:46,300
[Tyson]
Parker wouldn't have offered
her the job if he didn't think
211
00:10:46,467 --> 00:10:47,600
she could do it.
212
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,467
Hopefully, in the upcoming
days, she'll be able to feed
213
00:10:50,633 --> 00:10:52,567
the plant, run the plant,
shut down the plant,
214
00:10:52,567 --> 00:10:54,900
and know how to problem-solve
around the plant.
215
00:11:02,667 --> 00:11:04,567
[thrilling music plays]
216
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,300
We got less than 500 ounces
on the season right now,
217
00:11:13,467 --> 00:11:14,900
and that's not nearly enough.
218
00:11:16,166 --> 00:11:17,900
Well, we're back in
Vegas Valley, and that's where
219
00:11:18,066 --> 00:11:19,000
we know the good gold is.
220
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200
So we got to get back down
to the paydirt.
221
00:11:21,367 --> 00:11:24,467
Three months in,
Rick Ness's season
222
00:11:24,467 --> 00:11:26,767
is finally on the upswing.
223
00:11:26,767 --> 00:11:29,367
Last week, we got a good
result from the last cleanup,
224
00:11:29,367 --> 00:11:31,767
but that was the end
of the stockpile.
225
00:11:31,767 --> 00:11:34,367
We didn't get down to pay
like we planned on.
226
00:11:34,533 --> 00:11:36,066
I mean, there's a lot to do.
227
00:11:36,233 --> 00:11:38,367
There's a big road to build,
and there's no more pay to run.
228
00:11:38,533 --> 00:11:41,867
And yeah, we need to switch up
the plan right now if we're
229
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:43,967
going to get back to the pay
in Vegas Valley quickly.
230
00:11:44,967 --> 00:11:47,767
Rick's crew has finished
building the road
231
00:11:47,767 --> 00:11:50,000
to the bottom of Vegas Valley.
232
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,467
But now Rick faces
another problem.
233
00:11:53,633 --> 00:11:54,700
There's a lot of slop
in there.
234
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,066
The whole cut's flooded
with silty, muddy [bleep].
235
00:11:58,233 --> 00:11:59,200
We're going to have
to move it all
236
00:11:59,367 --> 00:12:00,867
before we get back to the pay.
237
00:12:01,033 --> 00:12:02,667
But getting it out of here
is painful.
238
00:12:03,767 --> 00:12:06,900
I've got an idea.
It's a cheap way to move dirt.
239
00:12:07,066 --> 00:12:09,000
And we tried this last year
in Rally Valley.
240
00:12:09,166 --> 00:12:10,567
We actually had
some success with it.
241
00:12:10,734 --> 00:12:12,066
And we're going
to try it again.
242
00:12:12,233 --> 00:12:13,667
I think we learned stuff
last year.
243
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:15,300
So we got the monitor.
244
00:12:17,767 --> 00:12:20,066
We're going to drop that into
Vegas Valley and get that slop
245
00:12:20,233 --> 00:12:21,667
out of there
and get back on the gold.
246
00:12:23,767 --> 00:12:27,567
At Vegas Valley, Rick's crew
has built a narrow road
247
00:12:27,567 --> 00:12:30,367
to the bottom
of the 200-foot deep cut.
248
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,567
Now they've discovered the pay
layer they reached last year
249
00:12:35,734 --> 00:12:38,533
is covered in six feet
of thick sludge.
250
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,600
Rick's solution?
251
00:12:42,767 --> 00:12:45,367
Bring in a high-powered
water monitor
252
00:12:45,367 --> 00:12:47,367
to blast the sticky sludge,
253
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,000
breaking it down
to a runny slurry.
254
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,600
Then suck it out
with a 12-inch water pump,
255
00:12:54,767 --> 00:12:57,467
revealing the gold-rich pay
layer underneath.
256
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,433
[machine clanking]
257
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:08,300
Hey, guys, it's time to fire
this thing up and get the pay!
258
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:11,667
Hey, Chris, fire that pump up!
Let's go!
259
00:13:11,834 --> 00:13:13,700
All right, starting
the pump now, Rick.
260
00:13:13,867 --> 00:13:15,800
[pump revs up]
261
00:13:17,367 --> 00:13:18,700
[Rick]
All right, here it comes.
262
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:22,767
[heavy swooshing, splatting]
263
00:13:32,066 --> 00:13:33,367
We have the monitor
in place now.
264
00:13:33,533 --> 00:13:36,200
We can use that to wash all
that silt over to our pump
265
00:13:36,367 --> 00:13:39,767
and hopefully have the pay
clean in maybe a day or two.
266
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:44,166
We got a new guy here, Chris.
He's working that monitor.
267
00:13:44,166 --> 00:13:45,567
We need all the manpower
we can get right now.
268
00:13:45,734 --> 00:13:47,667
We got a long ways to go.
269
00:13:47,834 --> 00:13:50,000
I have to pay close attention
to what I'm doing here.
270
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,266
Rick's brought in new
operator, Chris Lalonde,
271
00:13:54,433 --> 00:13:56,266
for the season's
second half push.
272
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,800
With room for just one
excavator at the bottom of
273
00:13:59,967 --> 00:14:06,266
the pit, clearing the sludge is
Chris's shot to prove himself.
274
00:14:06,266 --> 00:14:08,800
[Chris] I'm originally
from Fort McMurray, Alberta.
275
00:14:08,967 --> 00:14:11,800
I have spent the last five
or six years traveling around,
276
00:14:11,967 --> 00:14:14,667
doing different jobs.
And now I'm here.
277
00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:15,867
I feel like it's going good.
278
00:14:15,867 --> 00:14:18,467
They are trusting me to try
and do this task alone.
279
00:14:22,367 --> 00:14:24,367
[squelching]
280
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,367
It appears I'm losing my battle
at this moment.
281
00:14:34,367 --> 00:14:37,300
The water level should
continuously drop.
282
00:14:37,467 --> 00:14:39,100
Now it's increasing in my pond,
283
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:43,567
Guys, it looks like the pump
doesn't move the sludge.
284
00:14:43,567 --> 00:14:47,800
The pump is failing to suck
out the slurry, and now...
285
00:14:48,867 --> 00:14:50,600
there's an even bigger mess.
286
00:14:52,567 --> 00:14:54,467
For some reason, it's stuck.
287
00:14:54,633 --> 00:14:56,100
I don't know if we sucked up
a bunch of mud.
288
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:57,367
I don't know what the deal is,
289
00:14:57,367 --> 00:15:00,767
but it ain't [bleep] working.
That, I know.
290
00:15:00,934 --> 00:15:01,900
Shut it down!
291
00:15:09,667 --> 00:15:10,800
-[Ryan] Am I good?
-[Kyle] Yeah.
292
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:13,967
[Ryan]
I'm gonna have to back up.
293
00:15:18,166 --> 00:15:19,266
[Kyle] That's good.
294
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,266
[Ryan] Uh...
295
00:15:27,433 --> 00:15:31,100
All we have is a steel plate
with holes welded into it.
296
00:15:31,266 --> 00:15:33,700
So when we're washing all this
muck down in here, it easily
297
00:15:33,867 --> 00:15:36,100
can get plugged up as soon
as any rocks, any silt,
298
00:15:36,266 --> 00:15:37,567
anything gets stuck in this.
299
00:15:37,567 --> 00:15:41,266
At Vegas Valley, Rick's crew
is battling a thick layer
300
00:15:41,266 --> 00:15:44,567
of sludge to reach
the gold-rich pay.
301
00:15:44,734 --> 00:15:49,266
But a plugged pump has brought
the operation to a standstill.
302
00:15:49,433 --> 00:15:51,100
[Ryan] All right, well,
we could...
303
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,800
find or build a basket.
304
00:15:53,967 --> 00:15:56,266
It's gonna give us a lot
more area for suction,
305
00:15:56,433 --> 00:15:58,667
and then it's where we don't
have any problems
306
00:15:58,834 --> 00:16:00,066
with anything clogging.
307
00:16:00,066 --> 00:16:04,467
To get the pump sucking again,
mechanic Ryan Kent plans
308
00:16:04,467 --> 00:16:08,767
to build a new intake basket
with bigger screens,
309
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,767
reducing the risk of blockages.
310
00:16:11,767 --> 00:16:13,600
[cranking]
311
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,166
-Looks heavy.
-[Kyle] Yeah.
312
00:16:17,166 --> 00:16:18,400
[Ryan]
Three dudes to move a plate.
313
00:16:18,567 --> 00:16:19,900
[chuckling]
314
00:16:23,767 --> 00:16:26,066
Right now, we're going
to look for some material
315
00:16:26,233 --> 00:16:28,066
to build a basket.
316
00:16:28,233 --> 00:16:31,000
We do have a bunch
of punch plate.
317
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,867
We could cut it out and weld
a square together.
318
00:16:34,867 --> 00:16:38,200
Looks like Kyle may have found
a box over there.
319
00:16:38,367 --> 00:16:40,767
-10 inch on it?
-[Kyle] Yeah.
320
00:16:40,934 --> 00:16:42,767
We need a 12-inch.
321
00:16:42,767 --> 00:16:43,767
Get rid of this.
322
00:16:43,934 --> 00:16:46,233
-I'll make those work.
-[Kyle] I got it.
323
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:50,667
[banging]
324
00:16:50,834 --> 00:16:51,867
[Ryan] Look at that!
325
00:16:51,867 --> 00:16:53,000
Once we torch this off,
326
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,100
we'll weld the other one
right to it.
327
00:16:55,266 --> 00:16:58,767
To fit the basket
to the pump's 12-inch hose,
328
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:01,500
Ryan first replaces the flange.
329
00:17:01,667 --> 00:17:03,467
[Ryan] We got to build
our own [bleep].
330
00:17:04,867 --> 00:17:06,400
That's what we're going to do.
331
00:17:08,867 --> 00:17:10,867
Let's see if we can get her up
this direction.
332
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,100
Damn, you guys are strong.
333
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:16,467
Your moms must be proud.
334
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:20,567
The main piece we need is
this Victaulic right there.
335
00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:23,900
[hissing]
336
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:29,400
Hit it with a hammer,
see if it'll break free.
337
00:17:29,567 --> 00:17:31,800
Yeah!
338
00:17:34,266 --> 00:17:36,200
Now what we're gonna do is
put a bead around it.
339
00:17:44,367 --> 00:17:46,367
Good enough.
She'll serve her purpose now.
340
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:49,700
[machine humming]
341
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,667
Hopefully, that's the quick fix
we need to be able to get that
342
00:17:59,834 --> 00:18:01,066
muck out of there
and get down to pay.
343
00:18:13,166 --> 00:18:14,767
[thrilling music plays]
344
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,467
OK, we need this basket
to work.
345
00:18:18,633 --> 00:18:21,000
If it doesn't, we're going
to be kind of [bleep] ourselves
346
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,100
on time here.
347
00:18:23,266 --> 00:18:25,166
[thrilling music resumes]
348
00:18:28,467 --> 00:18:29,867
There she goes.
349
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,266
We got our new basket back in.
350
00:18:34,266 --> 00:18:35,567
Ready to fire.
351
00:18:35,734 --> 00:18:37,467
[motor powers up]
352
00:18:40,667 --> 00:18:42,867
[sloshing]
353
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:54,300
That water is dropping
pretty quick.
354
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:56,300
Yeah, it looks like the cage
is working.
355
00:18:56,467 --> 00:18:57,367
[Chris] Yeah.
356
00:18:57,367 --> 00:18:59,066
Suction's working,
pump's working.
357
00:18:59,233 --> 00:19:02,500
We are one step closer
to getting back to pay.
358
00:19:12,567 --> 00:19:15,100
100 miles west...
359
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:18,700
[Tayvin]
Well, I guess I'm starting
a new chapter in my life
360
00:19:18,867 --> 00:19:22,000
and going to look
for some work.
361
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,900
I don't want to be going home
because I love gold mining
362
00:19:28,066 --> 00:19:32,600
and can't afford
to go home yet.
363
00:19:32,767 --> 00:19:37,066
After being let go from
Parker's crew, Tayvin Peterson
364
00:19:37,233 --> 00:19:40,166
is gunning for a fresh start.
365
00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:43,600
Right now I'm just looking
around, seeing who's willing
366
00:19:43,767 --> 00:19:46,367
to hire a new gold miner.
367
00:19:46,533 --> 00:19:53,567
Going to somebody's gold mine
and just knocking on the door.
368
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,700
So I guess we're here.
369
00:20:03,867 --> 00:20:05,000
Hope this goes well.
370
00:20:21,667 --> 00:20:23,300
Hello, how's it going?
371
00:20:23,467 --> 00:20:25,000
My name is Tayvin Peterson,
nice to meet you.
372
00:20:25,166 --> 00:20:26,367
Nice to meet you.
Pull up a chair.
373
00:20:27,266 --> 00:20:29,700
What can we do you for?
374
00:20:29,867 --> 00:20:32,700
I heard you were mining up
here and I was wondering
375
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:35,500
if you guys were looking
for employees or if you guys are
376
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:38,700
pretty stacked up
on operators?
377
00:20:38,867 --> 00:20:40,467
There are some
opportunities here.
378
00:20:41,467 --> 00:20:43,100
Currently right now,
the big thing we're
379
00:20:43,266 --> 00:20:47,100
on the lookout for is rock truck
operators and loader operators.
380
00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:48,867
What is your time
on those things?
381
00:20:48,867 --> 00:20:51,767
So this will be my fourth
season mining.
382
00:20:51,934 --> 00:20:54,500
I really enjoy everything
about gold mining,
383
00:20:54,667 --> 00:20:56,567
and I'm really willing
to learn.
384
00:20:56,567 --> 00:20:58,767
Last year, Parker had me
a rock truck, and...
385
00:20:58,767 --> 00:21:00,667
Were you at Parker's this year
for the first little bit?
386
00:21:00,667 --> 00:21:02,000
[Tayvin] Yeah.
387
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,266
Invited me back for another
season, but things weren't
388
00:21:06,266 --> 00:21:10,000
going good, and then Nona
really, like, fired me.
389
00:21:10,967 --> 00:21:12,400
I'm not sure why.
390
00:21:14,867 --> 00:21:16,767
[suspenseful music plays]
391
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,667
All right.
392
00:21:21,834 --> 00:21:22,800
OK.
393
00:21:22,967 --> 00:21:24,100
Uh...
394
00:21:25,467 --> 00:21:29,000
But I was on Sluicifer before,
for those two weeks.
395
00:21:30,266 --> 00:21:32,200
I started right off
on the plant on night shift,
396
00:21:32,367 --> 00:21:35,166
so they must have a little bit
of faith in me.
397
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,467
That is a feather in your cap,
so to speak,
398
00:21:39,467 --> 00:21:41,867
because I'm always
looking for more people
399
00:21:42,033 --> 00:21:43,567
who have experience
feeding the plant.
400
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,767
OK, this might work out
for both of us, honestly.
401
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,166
But if we're gonna hire you,
one of the first places
402
00:21:52,333 --> 00:21:54,867
we're gonna throw you is
night shift at the plant.
403
00:21:55,033 --> 00:21:56,367
So...
404
00:21:56,533 --> 00:21:57,533
if you're up for that...
405
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:01,867
That's great.
That's what I'm looking for.
406
00:22:01,867 --> 00:22:02,967
[Kevin] Perfect.
407
00:22:03,133 --> 00:22:05,567
So for now,
I'd say you're hired.
408
00:22:05,567 --> 00:22:06,867
Thank you so much!
409
00:22:07,033 --> 00:22:08,233
I appreciate this.
410
00:22:08,233 --> 00:22:10,400
You gave a good vibe, so let's
roll those dice, see how it
411
00:22:10,567 --> 00:22:12,100
works out for both of us.
-[Tayvin] Thank you so much.
412
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,300
That was awesome!
Got hired.
413
00:22:18,467 --> 00:22:20,567
And I'm super excited to start
414
00:22:20,567 --> 00:22:22,166
working for a smaller
crew again.
415
00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:24,367
And the work that I do will
get noticed a lot more.
416
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,567
He didn't work out there.
He might work out here.
417
00:22:28,567 --> 00:22:30,200
Only way we're going
to find out is, well,
418
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,333
try him out.
419
00:22:34,166 --> 00:22:37,800
Having struggled for crew
and gold all season,
420
00:22:37,967 --> 00:22:41,200
second-year mine boss
Kevin Beets is slowly
421
00:22:41,367 --> 00:22:42,867
turning a corner.
422
00:22:43,033 --> 00:22:44,967
It was tough at the start
of the year to lose both
423
00:22:45,133 --> 00:22:46,300
Brennan and Kayden.
424
00:22:46,467 --> 00:22:49,166
And now Buzz is gone
to go have a baby.
425
00:22:49,166 --> 00:22:50,467
But we brought in some new crew
426
00:22:50,467 --> 00:22:51,600
and we're
making it [bleep] work.
427
00:22:51,767 --> 00:22:53,000
Only thing you can do.
428
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:56,467
Going into the second half
of the season, I'm still
429
00:22:56,467 --> 00:22:59,166
optimistic that we're going
to be successful.
430
00:22:59,166 --> 00:23:01,100
I don't know if we're going
to be as successful as I want it
431
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:03,667
to be, but we're still going
for a 2,000-ounce goal.
432
00:23:03,834 --> 00:23:04,934
We still want to get that.
433
00:23:06,567 --> 00:23:10,467
Two weeks ago,
with his Pyramid Cut mined out,
434
00:23:10,633 --> 00:23:14,200
Kevin broke ground on the new
seven-acre Sphinx Cut.
435
00:23:15,266 --> 00:23:19,700
With everything now riding on
the new ground, Kevin's already
436
00:23:19,867 --> 00:23:22,767
down to pay and feeding it
through the washplant.
437
00:23:24,467 --> 00:23:26,600
[Kevin]
I am hoping that Sphinx Cut
going to pay off better
438
00:23:26,767 --> 00:23:28,266
than Pyramid Cut has been.
439
00:23:28,433 --> 00:23:30,367
It's really important that
we hit our weekly target.
440
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:33,166
We're aiming for 100 ounces
a week, and to get there,
441
00:23:33,166 --> 00:23:34,467
we've got to be running 24/7.
442
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:43,367
For his first night shift
of the season, Kevin pairs
443
00:23:43,367 --> 00:23:47,400
new hire Tayvin with veteran
miner Rick Johnson.
444
00:23:51,066 --> 00:23:52,867
[Rick J.]
Tayvin, copy Tayvin.
445
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:57,000
[Tayvin] Copy, copy.
What's up, Rick?
446
00:23:57,166 --> 00:23:58,500
[Rick J.]
How's things going at your end?
447
00:23:58,667 --> 00:24:00,367
[Tayvin] Uh, things are going
really good over here.
448
00:24:01,367 --> 00:24:04,867
To keep the plant sluicing
through the midnight sun,
449
00:24:05,033 --> 00:24:09,300
Tayvin has to feed 24 loads
of paydirt an hour.
450
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:15,567
[Tayvin]
Right now I'm just running
the plant on night shift.
451
00:24:15,734 --> 00:24:18,667
We got a small crew going
right now, me and Rick.
452
00:24:18,667 --> 00:24:20,567
So we gotta...
453
00:24:20,567 --> 00:24:24,166
just make sure we're staying
consistent and keeping
454
00:24:24,166 --> 00:24:27,867
everything fed, and make sure
we're getting rocks washed
455
00:24:28,033 --> 00:24:29,000
while we can.
456
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:31,867
Really enjoying it here.
457
00:24:31,867 --> 00:24:33,667
I already got put
on the washplant,
458
00:24:33,834 --> 00:24:35,767
which I'm really
excited about.
459
00:24:35,767 --> 00:24:39,367
Everybody's been super
welcoming and teaching me lots
460
00:24:39,367 --> 00:24:41,467
and showing me how they do
things around here,
461
00:24:41,633 --> 00:24:43,200
which I really appreciate.
462
00:24:43,367 --> 00:24:46,200
I take a lot of pride in what
I do, and I want to be
463
00:24:46,367 --> 00:24:50,000
on a winning team,
so I feel like...
464
00:24:50,166 --> 00:24:51,667
I need to prove myself
a little bit.
465
00:24:53,767 --> 00:24:56,567
I just definitely don't want
to get fired again.
466
00:24:56,567 --> 00:24:58,667
[rumbling]
467
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:15,467
Ugh...
468
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:20,200
We're coming to our end
at night shift,
469
00:25:20,367 --> 00:25:22,967
but the pace here
is a little bit slower,
470
00:25:23,133 --> 00:25:24,700
and I'm still
getting used to it.
471
00:25:24,867 --> 00:25:25,967
I'm trying my best.
472
00:25:27,967 --> 00:25:29,467
[adventurous music plays]
473
00:25:34,567 --> 00:25:36,200
[heavy rattling]
474
00:25:38,367 --> 00:25:39,967
Oh, [bleep], there's no pay
on the conveyor.
475
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:45,567
[thrilling music plays]
476
00:25:49,266 --> 00:25:50,867
[motor winds down]
477
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,066
[intriguing music plays]
478
00:26:04,233 --> 00:26:05,867
[Tayvin]
Looked like it might have been
the hopper, I think.
479
00:26:06,033 --> 00:26:07,100
I'm gonna go check it out.
480
00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:11,900
Oh, my [bleep]!
481
00:26:13,266 --> 00:26:15,300
Oh, man, that's a big rock.
482
00:26:15,467 --> 00:26:19,467
At Scribner Creek, 10 hours
into his first night shift
483
00:26:19,467 --> 00:26:22,567
for Kevin Beets,
new hire Tayvin
484
00:26:22,567 --> 00:26:24,667
has shut down the washplant.
485
00:26:31,667 --> 00:26:34,300
[suspenseful music plays]
486
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:35,834
[bleep] sakes.
What now?
487
00:26:36,667 --> 00:26:41,500
Chelsea March and Tyler Potter
from the day shift arrive early
488
00:26:41,667 --> 00:26:43,500
to help clear the blockage.
489
00:26:43,667 --> 00:26:45,700
[Tayvin]
It looks like a big rock got
through the grizzlies.
490
00:26:48,166 --> 00:26:50,200
I don't know how they managed
to make their way
491
00:26:50,367 --> 00:26:52,300
through the grizzlies,
this [bleep] big,
492
00:26:52,467 --> 00:26:54,367
and the grizzlies
are this [bleep] big.
493
00:26:54,533 --> 00:26:56,367
[Tayvin]
I think we're gonna have to
get that big rock chained up
494
00:26:56,367 --> 00:26:57,767
to the grizzlies.
-[Rick J.] Oh, yeah.
495
00:26:57,767 --> 00:27:00,166
So use the power
of the grizzlies to remote
496
00:27:00,333 --> 00:27:02,367
lift it enough at least
to get the dirt out.
497
00:27:02,367 --> 00:27:04,200
-[Tayvin] Loosen up, hopefully.
-[Rick J.] Yeah, exactly.
498
00:27:08,567 --> 00:27:09,667
[Tyler] Go on the top.
499
00:27:11,066 --> 00:27:12,300
[Tayvin] Beauty.
500
00:27:14,767 --> 00:27:17,266
[Tyler] Tayvin's going to jump
in there, poke around.
501
00:27:17,433 --> 00:27:21,567
We're going to run the chain
through the top and wrap
502
00:27:21,734 --> 00:27:24,367
the grizzly bars with
the chain, and we'll try
503
00:27:24,367 --> 00:27:27,300
and give her a little jiggle,
see if we can pop it out
504
00:27:27,467 --> 00:27:28,767
inside the feeder.
505
00:27:30,767 --> 00:27:34,567
The grizzly bars on the feeder
screen out large boulders
506
00:27:34,734 --> 00:27:36,867
to protect the washplant
from damage.
507
00:27:38,667 --> 00:27:43,100
But months of wear and tear
have bent them out of shape,
508
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:44,200
creating holes.
509
00:27:45,767 --> 00:27:48,700
A large rock has fallen
into the hopper,
510
00:27:48,867 --> 00:27:50,600
blocking its feed conveyor.
511
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,900
The crew's quick fix?
512
00:27:55,066 --> 00:27:58,100
Dig out a tunnel underneath
the 100-pound boulder.
513
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,767
Wrap a chain around it.
514
00:28:01,767 --> 00:28:05,400
Then attach the chain
to the grizzlies and use
515
00:28:05,567 --> 00:28:08,667
its hydraulic ram to lift
and free the rock.
516
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:19,367
[Tyler]
Here's the other side, Tayvin.
517
00:28:20,266 --> 00:28:21,500
Pull that.
518
00:28:23,166 --> 00:28:24,400
[Tayvin] OK.
519
00:28:26,867 --> 00:28:28,667
[bleep] downtime, ugh.
520
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:31,166
-[Tyler] Get out of here.
-[Tayvin] Yeah.
521
00:28:34,967 --> 00:28:36,900
[Tyler]
Drop the grizzlies back down,
522
00:28:37,066 --> 00:28:38,367
and hook it to the grizzlies,
523
00:28:38,533 --> 00:28:39,567
and try and pull it up.
524
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:42,767
[thrilling music plays]
525
00:28:46,066 --> 00:28:48,266
-Keep tapping it up.
-Yeah.
526
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:52,000
[heavy rattling]
527
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,700
[dramatic music plays]
528
00:28:57,166 --> 00:28:58,600
[Tyler] Down, down, down.
529
00:28:58,767 --> 00:29:00,066
[rattling]
530
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:04,000
Good, man.
531
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,567
[Tayvin] [bleep] down!
532
00:29:07,734 --> 00:29:09,100
-[boulder crashes]
-[rattling]
533
00:29:10,867 --> 00:29:11,967
[Tayvin]
Did it break the chain?
534
00:29:12,133 --> 00:29:13,667
[Tyler] Nope.
Might have wiggled off.
535
00:29:15,767 --> 00:29:18,066
Chels, can you turn
the feeder on a little bit?
536
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,600
-Oh, yeah, that's coming.
-[Tayvin] Yup.
537
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:28,367
That's about as big
as they come.
538
00:29:33,567 --> 00:29:34,867
[Tyler]
I got to get her going again.
539
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:41,400
[triumphant music plays]
540
00:29:44,967 --> 00:29:47,400
[Tyler] The rock's out,
plant's running again.
541
00:29:47,567 --> 00:29:49,867
Little chaotic,
but plant's going,
542
00:29:50,033 --> 00:29:51,066
so that's what counts.
543
00:29:56,667 --> 00:29:59,266
-[Kevin] Hey, Tayvin.
-Quite the jam up last night.
544
00:29:59,433 --> 00:30:01,567
Big rock slipped
through the grizzlies.
545
00:30:01,734 --> 00:30:03,166
[Kevin] I see you got it out.
How'd that go?
546
00:30:03,166 --> 00:30:05,767
So we ended up tying a chain
to the grizzlies
547
00:30:05,767 --> 00:30:07,867
and wiggling it up.
-Good job, man.
548
00:30:07,867 --> 00:30:09,667
-[Tayvin] Thank you.
-[Kevin] Well...
549
00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:11,467
sounds like you had
enough excitement for today,
550
00:30:11,467 --> 00:30:13,200
so you may as well go
and get some [bleep] sleep.
551
00:30:13,367 --> 00:30:15,000
[Tayvin] Enjoy the day.
552
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,567
[Kevin]
Sounds like Tayvin had
a little excitement
553
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:17,633
for his first night shift.
554
00:30:17,633 --> 00:30:19,567
Lifting the rock with
the grizzly bars, good plan.
555
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:22,400
So yeah, not bad
for his first night.
556
00:30:29,767 --> 00:30:31,400
[wings flapping]
557
00:30:39,367 --> 00:30:41,300
[rumbling]
558
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,367
So I'm running Bob, and I have
been doing now for quite
559
00:30:52,367 --> 00:30:54,266
a few days,
560
00:30:54,266 --> 00:30:57,100
which means I'm down here
all by myself.
561
00:30:58,567 --> 00:31:00,967
Obviously, I've got
to keep Bob fed.
562
00:31:01,133 --> 00:31:03,700
I've got to make sure
that Bob doesn't [bleep] up.
563
00:31:05,367 --> 00:31:09,000
With me being such a rookie,
it kind of terrifies me,
564
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,467
but I've got to learn these
things at the end of the day.
565
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Since I've been here,
Tyson, when we go back home
566
00:31:16,767 --> 00:31:20,767
of an evening, he's like an army
sergeant or something.
567
00:31:20,934 --> 00:31:22,867
He's like, "What do we do
when there's something wrong
568
00:31:23,033 --> 00:31:25,200
with the plant? What do we do?
What do we do?"
569
00:31:25,367 --> 00:31:27,567
And I'm like,
"I run for the generator.
570
00:31:27,734 --> 00:31:29,100
I hit the three-phase breaker."
571
00:31:29,266 --> 00:31:30,166
And then he's like,
"What's next?"
572
00:31:30,333 --> 00:31:32,100
And I'm like,
"I hit the bypass."
573
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,300
And he's like, "Good!"
574
00:31:33,467 --> 00:31:34,767
[laughs]
575
00:31:39,066 --> 00:31:40,400
[heavy thudding]
576
00:31:44,266 --> 00:31:46,000
I just heard a big crash,
577
00:31:46,166 --> 00:31:48,300
which is, yep,
there goes big rock.
578
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000
If they make it out onto
the belt, I've got to make sure
579
00:31:53,166 --> 00:31:55,867
that they go all the way up
and into the washplant.
580
00:31:56,033 --> 00:31:58,700
If they don't go all the way up
and into the washplant,
581
00:31:58,867 --> 00:32:02,100
that means they could be stuck
on the belt somewhere.
582
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,166
[heavy thud]
583
00:32:09,166 --> 00:32:12,066
[suspenseful music plays]
584
00:32:12,233 --> 00:32:14,100
Two miles away...
585
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,066
[Tyson]
So, you know, right now
the plant pad up here
586
00:32:16,233 --> 00:32:18,367
in the Golden Mile seems to be
coming along pretty good.
587
00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:19,467
[phone chimes]
588
00:32:19,467 --> 00:32:20,567
Hang on a sec, guys.
589
00:32:25,266 --> 00:32:26,900
[mumbling indistinctly]
590
00:32:27,066 --> 00:32:29,000
[ominous chord strikes]
591
00:32:29,166 --> 00:32:31,100
[thrilling music plays]
592
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:35,100
I don't know what's going on,
but I just got a text
593
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:36,467
from India saying, "Help!"
594
00:32:37,567 --> 00:32:38,667
Come on, Jarv.
595
00:32:38,834 --> 00:32:40,100
The dog that appears
out of nowhere.
596
00:32:40,266 --> 00:32:41,266
Go on.
597
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:52,400
[ominous music plays]
598
00:32:54,867 --> 00:32:56,100
[India] Oh, [bleep]!
599
00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:57,900
Oh, there's a big jamming
on the belt.
600
00:32:58,066 --> 00:32:59,500
I've just had to shut down Bob.
601
00:32:59,667 --> 00:33:01,567
[bleep]!
I mean, look at this.
602
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:06,867
There's a massive rock.
603
00:33:07,033 --> 00:33:08,667
Humongous.
604
00:33:08,834 --> 00:33:10,867
I really hope that's not
[bleep] up the belt.
605
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:17,000
At the Bridge Cut on solo
shift running washplant Bob,
606
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,266
rookie loader operator India
607
00:33:19,433 --> 00:33:22,100
has shut down
with a jammed-up conveyor.
608
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,967
Every single minute counted,
609
00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:27,767
so please try
and get rid of all of it.
610
00:33:33,867 --> 00:33:35,467
OK, here's Tyson.
611
00:33:35,467 --> 00:33:37,400
[Tyson speaking]
612
00:33:37,567 --> 00:33:39,300
[India]
Can you turn the water off?
613
00:33:39,467 --> 00:33:40,767
I couldn't turn it
all the way off.
614
00:33:43,166 --> 00:33:44,867
[suspenseful music plays]
615
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,867
[sloshing stops]
616
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:03,900
Right.
617
00:34:04,066 --> 00:34:05,767
OK.
618
00:34:05,934 --> 00:34:08,200
[Tyson speaking]
619
00:34:08,367 --> 00:34:09,367
[India] OK.
620
00:34:14,166 --> 00:34:15,567
That should be able
to move that.
621
00:34:15,567 --> 00:34:16,500
Wanna jump down?
622
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:18,367
Well, it's like
two huge rocks.
623
00:34:18,367 --> 00:34:20,600
There's like one underneath
that as well.
624
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:21,700
[Tyson] Oh, yeah.
625
00:34:25,266 --> 00:34:27,867
[intriguing music plays]
626
00:34:31,166 --> 00:34:32,567
Jump down for a sec.
627
00:34:32,567 --> 00:34:33,767
OK.
628
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,166
[Tyson] Watch yourself.
629
00:34:37,333 --> 00:34:39,667
I'm going to be throwing
a massive rock off this side.
630
00:34:42,967 --> 00:34:44,266
Watch yourself.
631
00:34:44,433 --> 00:34:46,367
[crashing heavily]
632
00:34:46,367 --> 00:34:48,000
[India] All right.
633
00:34:48,166 --> 00:34:50,400
[Tyson] OK, I'll go get
the shaker going.
634
00:34:53,567 --> 00:34:55,000
[motor powers up]
635
00:34:55,166 --> 00:34:57,400
[gushing heavily]
636
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,500
[India] I hope for no more
rock jam-ups today.
637
00:35:15,567 --> 00:35:19,667
Thank you so much for coming
to help out there.
638
00:35:19,667 --> 00:35:21,166
[Tyson] Nice work, India.
639
00:35:21,333 --> 00:35:22,533
India did really well.
640
00:35:22,533 --> 00:35:25,700
She caught it before it turned
into a massive pile of dirt,
641
00:35:25,867 --> 00:35:26,900
because that's what happens.
642
00:35:28,266 --> 00:35:29,667
All in all, I don't think that
643
00:35:29,834 --> 00:35:32,667
was too much of a bad shutdown
for Bob here.
644
00:35:32,834 --> 00:35:36,600
And I'm glad that I broke
my shutdown virginity in a way
645
00:35:36,767 --> 00:35:40,667
that nothing was damaged
and nobody was hurt.
646
00:35:40,834 --> 00:35:43,967
I definitely think I gave Tyson
a little bit of a heart attack
647
00:35:44,133 --> 00:35:46,266
there with that text.
648
00:35:46,433 --> 00:35:47,867
Hopefully Tyson's heart is OK.
649
00:35:48,033 --> 00:35:49,100
[chuckles]
650
00:35:54,767 --> 00:35:57,000
[calm music plays]
651
00:36:07,367 --> 00:36:09,166
Looking at it, like, I can see
the difference from
652
00:36:09,166 --> 00:36:13,667
our start point to now,
and things are looking...
653
00:36:13,667 --> 00:36:15,567
pretty peachy right now.
654
00:36:15,734 --> 00:36:17,667
I guess that's
as low as she'll go.
655
00:36:17,667 --> 00:36:22,166
In Vegas Valley, another new
hire has been working alone.
656
00:36:22,333 --> 00:36:25,266
Chris Lalonde has finally
cleared the sludge
657
00:36:25,266 --> 00:36:27,300
from the bottom
of a tight spot.
658
00:36:27,467 --> 00:36:28,567
You guys just want to swing on
659
00:36:28,567 --> 00:36:31,600
down and come have a look
at the progress I've made?
660
00:36:37,967 --> 00:36:39,266
[Rick] Just gonna check out.
661
00:36:42,467 --> 00:36:43,900
Looks good down there.
662
00:36:44,066 --> 00:36:45,100
You did a killer job on it.
663
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:47,400
-Yeah, it looks pretty clean.
-Has it been fun?
664
00:36:47,567 --> 00:36:48,667
Fun.
665
00:36:48,667 --> 00:36:51,066
Fun to sit in a machine
and re-familiarize.
666
00:36:51,233 --> 00:36:52,500
It hasn't been fun, don't lie.
667
00:36:52,667 --> 00:36:54,200
[Rick laughs]
668
00:36:54,367 --> 00:36:55,900
Yeah, I think we just get
the trucks in here and see
669
00:36:56,066 --> 00:36:57,000
what we can get out.
670
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,166
Let's get the gold.
671
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:05,600
[Kyle] Ready, Bailey?
672
00:37:07,266 --> 00:37:08,266
Yeah, come on down.
673
00:37:08,266 --> 00:37:09,867
Let's see what
this is going to do.
674
00:37:10,033 --> 00:37:11,200
Sounds good.
675
00:37:15,767 --> 00:37:17,767
[Bailey]
Trying to get one truck in,
one truck out.
676
00:37:17,934 --> 00:37:20,467
It's definitely not just
drive-in, drive-out
677
00:37:20,467 --> 00:37:21,467
kind of situation.
678
00:37:21,633 --> 00:37:23,266
You've got to back down
all the way in here.
679
00:37:24,567 --> 00:37:29,100
To haul pay from the bottom
of the 200-foot-deep valley,
680
00:37:29,266 --> 00:37:33,000
Kyle and Chris have to take
turns reversing their trucks
681
00:37:33,166 --> 00:37:37,200
down a narrow single-track
with steep banks.
682
00:37:39,667 --> 00:37:42,367
[Bailey]
It's finally the first scoop
into Kyle here.
683
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,367
What's it looking like
from down there, Bailey?
684
00:37:54,367 --> 00:37:55,633
Yeah, it's pretty tight.
685
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,900
And you know, in this position,
we need more room for sure.
686
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:04,600
[crumbling]
687
00:38:04,767 --> 00:38:06,500
[Rick] I don't like this.
688
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,400
[rattling]
689
00:38:14,567 --> 00:38:16,467
[crackling]
690
00:38:16,633 --> 00:38:19,700
It's just not right, you know?
691
00:38:19,867 --> 00:38:22,200
I'm just wondering
if it's too dangerous.
692
00:38:22,367 --> 00:38:25,266
I do take the safety
of my crew very seriously.
693
00:38:25,433 --> 00:38:26,400
You have to keep it safe.
694
00:38:27,467 --> 00:38:28,867
I had a visit
from some inspectors.
695
00:38:29,033 --> 00:38:30,467
They have the power
to shut me down.
696
00:38:30,467 --> 00:38:34,300
If mine inspectors visited
the claim and judged
697
00:38:34,467 --> 00:38:37,467
Vegas Valley
at risk of landslide,
698
00:38:37,633 --> 00:38:40,467
Rick could be shut down
for the season.
699
00:38:41,367 --> 00:38:42,767
[Rick] [bleep]!
700
00:38:46,567 --> 00:38:48,166
Hey, Bailey, finish loading.
701
00:38:48,333 --> 00:38:49,300
I don't know what
I was thinking, man.
702
00:38:49,467 --> 00:38:50,767
Let's get the [bleep]
out of here.
703
00:38:50,767 --> 00:38:52,500
[Bailey] Are you sure?
704
00:38:52,667 --> 00:38:54,000
Pull it out of there.
Let's move on.
705
00:38:54,900 --> 00:38:56,600
Well, I guess that's it
for this now.
706
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,967
I was really focused
on the gold down there
707
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,600
because we need it,
and I wasn't fully
708
00:39:01,767 --> 00:39:03,300
appreciating how this was
actually going to look.
709
00:39:03,467 --> 00:39:04,667
We need to get this
set up better.
710
00:39:04,834 --> 00:39:06,467
We're not ready for this.
711
00:39:06,467 --> 00:39:10,567
To make Vegas Valley safe to
mine, Rick will have to expand
712
00:39:10,567 --> 00:39:14,767
the bottom of the pit to make
more room, which could take
713
00:39:14,767 --> 00:39:18,100
weeks and delay him
getting on the gold.
714
00:39:18,266 --> 00:39:19,467
[bleep]
715
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:23,066
We'll probably get a little
bit of gold out of it.
716
00:39:23,233 --> 00:39:26,266
It ain't gonna be much,
717
00:39:26,266 --> 00:39:28,600
but it did not take long to see
that that wasn't too dangerous.
718
00:39:37,066 --> 00:39:38,567
[intriguing music plays]
719
00:39:45,166 --> 00:39:46,767
-[Kevin] Hey, guys.
-Hey, guys.
720
00:39:46,934 --> 00:39:48,033
[Kevin] How it goes?
721
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,367
-[Chelsea] Good, how are you?
-[Kevin] So tired.
722
00:39:50,367 --> 00:39:52,300
[Chelsea] Yeah.
I feel you.
723
00:39:52,467 --> 00:39:56,100
It's the end of Kevin's
first week running 24/7,
724
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:59,767
and he's invited crew members
Tyler and Chelsea
725
00:39:59,767 --> 00:40:02,100
to see if it's paid off.
726
00:40:02,266 --> 00:40:04,367
[Kevin] All that work
for this little bit of [bleep].
727
00:40:04,367 --> 00:40:07,166
-Cool to see it all cleaned up.
-[Chelsea] Yeah.
728
00:40:07,166 --> 00:40:09,300
So how's Tayvin been working
out on night shifts?
729
00:40:09,467 --> 00:40:11,700
So far, so good.
Keeps the plant running, so...
730
00:40:11,867 --> 00:40:13,033
[Kevin] Yeah, I mean,
731
00:40:13,033 --> 00:40:15,266
the priority number one is
keeping the plant going 24/7,
732
00:40:15,433 --> 00:40:16,867
which we've been doing
pretty good at it,
733
00:40:16,867 --> 00:40:18,900
as you can see.
-Yeah.
734
00:40:19,066 --> 00:40:21,467
[Kevin]
For the amount of work that
we do, it doesn't look like
735
00:40:21,633 --> 00:40:24,700
a lot, but for the price
of gold right now, that's...
736
00:40:24,867 --> 00:40:26,166
Well, it makes
a real difference.
737
00:40:26,333 --> 00:40:27,700
Probably pretty
all right, yeah.
738
00:40:27,867 --> 00:40:29,567
Let's weigh it up and
find out exactly how good
739
00:40:29,567 --> 00:40:30,734
we've been doing.
-[Tyler] For sure.
740
00:40:31,567 --> 00:40:35,000
This is Kevin's first
gold weigh for two weeks,
741
00:40:35,166 --> 00:40:38,000
and his first from his new
Sphinx Cut.
742
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,367
He's expecting to see
at least 200 ounces.
743
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,400
[Chelsea] 10, 20...
744
00:40:50,567 --> 00:40:53,467
50, 70...
745
00:40:53,467 --> 00:40:56,867
100, 120...
746
00:40:57,033 --> 00:40:59,700
158.
747
00:40:59,867 --> 00:41:01,900
-[Kevin] Second jar.
-[Tyler] Yup.
748
00:41:02,066 --> 00:41:05,767
[Chelsea] 160, 170, 180...
749
00:41:05,767 --> 00:41:10,867
200, 230, 240...
750
00:41:10,867 --> 00:41:14,567
250.245.
751
00:41:14,734 --> 00:41:16,600
-[Faith] That's pretty cool.
-[Tyler] Yup.
752
00:41:16,767 --> 00:41:18,467
Two weeks of running nonstop.
That's always nice.
753
00:41:18,633 --> 00:41:20,166
-[Chelsea] Yeah.
-It's nice, yeah.
754
00:41:20,166 --> 00:41:23,800
Worth $876,000,
755
00:41:23,967 --> 00:41:27,100
Kevin's best gold weigh
of the season,
756
00:41:27,266 --> 00:41:31,100
taking his total to 583 ounces,
757
00:41:31,266 --> 00:41:34,467
over $2 million in gold.
758
00:41:34,467 --> 00:41:36,400
[Kevin] It goes to show that
the effort we're putting in
759
00:41:36,567 --> 00:41:39,100
is paying out.
-[Tyler] Absolutely, yeah.
760
00:41:39,266 --> 00:41:40,667
Maybe we should get
back to it.
761
00:41:40,834 --> 00:41:41,934
See you guys in a little bit?
762
00:41:41,934 --> 00:41:43,066
-[Chelsea] Cool, sounds good.
-[Tyler] Sounds good.
763
00:41:43,233 --> 00:41:45,100
-[Faith] See you, guys.
-[Kevin] See you.
764
00:41:47,567 --> 00:41:49,066
[Faith]
That's a really good gold weigh.
765
00:41:49,233 --> 00:41:51,467
250 ounces,
that's not bad at all.
766
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:53,000
[Kevin]
No, no, that's pretty nice.
767
00:41:53,166 --> 00:41:55,367
I mean, as long as we keep
a good crew going,
768
00:41:55,533 --> 00:41:57,367
and Tayvin fits in
with everyone,
769
00:41:57,367 --> 00:41:58,900
helps us keep going 24/7,
770
00:41:59,066 --> 00:42:02,500
get us closer
to that 2,000-ounce goal.
771
00:42:02,667 --> 00:42:03,667
Yeah.
772
00:42:05,567 --> 00:42:07,100
[crackling]
773
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:13,667
-[Rick] What's up, guys?
-What's going on, Rick?
774
00:42:13,834 --> 00:42:14,800
[Rick] Nice fire.
775
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,767
So how's your first week
been there, Chris?
776
00:42:18,934 --> 00:42:19,900
Happy to be here.
777
00:42:20,066 --> 00:42:22,166
Your crew's a great crew.
Trying my best.
778
00:42:22,333 --> 00:42:25,066
Appreciate you being here.
No, it's good to have you.
779
00:42:25,233 --> 00:42:26,767
Rick Ness and his crew
780
00:42:26,767 --> 00:42:30,867
battled all week to get down
to Vegas Valley pay,
781
00:42:31,033 --> 00:42:34,100
but Rick was only able
to run two truckloads
782
00:42:34,100 --> 00:42:37,066
before calling time
on the dangerous pit.
783
00:42:37,233 --> 00:42:39,867
Do we know what
those two rock trucks got us?
784
00:42:40,033 --> 00:42:41,667
[Rick] Yeah, actually --
it doesn't look like a lot,
785
00:42:41,667 --> 00:42:43,066
but that's an ounce.
786
00:42:43,233 --> 00:42:44,266
-[Ryan] Pretty good.
-That's really good.
787
00:42:44,433 --> 00:42:46,266
That's almost
Rally Valley numbers.
788
00:42:46,266 --> 00:42:49,567
Right now our total's
at 437.46.
789
00:42:49,734 --> 00:42:51,000
We're not, uh...
790
00:42:51,166 --> 00:42:53,667
adding a whole bunch to it,
but that brings us to 438.46.
791
00:42:53,834 --> 00:42:55,567
We got a long ways to go.
Yeah.
792
00:42:55,567 --> 00:43:01,800
Rick's season total is worth
$1.5 million, and if he can hit
793
00:43:01,967 --> 00:43:05,500
Vegas Valley's riches,
he should be on track
794
00:43:05,667 --> 00:43:08,200
for his 1,800-ounce goal.
795
00:43:08,367 --> 00:43:09,800
There's a considerable amount
of gold left in there,
796
00:43:09,967 --> 00:43:12,700
for sure, and at least the two
truckloads told us that.
797
00:43:12,867 --> 00:43:15,367
We're not gonna abandon it,
but it's just, right now,
798
00:43:15,367 --> 00:43:17,367
knowing, should we be
expanding Vegas Valley
799
00:43:17,367 --> 00:43:18,967
so that it's easier to get?
800
00:43:19,133 --> 00:43:21,266
There's a lot of things that
need to be extra done to it.
801
00:43:21,266 --> 00:43:22,667
The hole's getting
smaller and smaller.
802
00:43:22,834 --> 00:43:25,600
You get trucks in there.
You got to do a lot of work.
803
00:43:25,767 --> 00:43:27,700
Everybody busted their asses
to get to that little spot.
804
00:43:27,867 --> 00:43:29,100
I know.
805
00:43:29,266 --> 00:43:31,467
They're gonna be obviously
ready to tackle again,
806
00:43:31,633 --> 00:43:34,567
but you're going to need
a solid plan.
807
00:43:34,567 --> 00:43:36,166
I'm going to do my best to...
808
00:43:37,667 --> 00:43:39,967
to try and figure this out,
809
00:43:40,133 --> 00:43:43,066
but I hope that you guys are on
board too, you know what I mean?
810
00:43:44,300 --> 00:43:45,767
So as long as you got
a game plan,
811
00:43:45,934 --> 00:43:47,767
probably all [bleep] game.
812
00:43:47,767 --> 00:43:48,867
[Rick] Appreciate it.
813
00:43:49,033 --> 00:43:51,367
Rick faces a tough decision.
814
00:43:51,367 --> 00:43:54,500
Spend weeks expanding
Vegas Valley
815
00:43:54,667 --> 00:43:57,967
or find a new spot to mine.
816
00:43:58,133 --> 00:44:00,100
Well, it's a small amount
of gold, but it's an ounce.
817
00:44:00,266 --> 00:44:02,467
It tells us there's a lot
of gold down there.
818
00:44:02,467 --> 00:44:04,367
We need to get it, but I need
to come to a decision
819
00:44:04,533 --> 00:44:05,767
on how to do it.
We're going to expand,
820
00:44:05,934 --> 00:44:07,066
or what the hell
are we going to do?
821
00:44:07,233 --> 00:44:08,767
There's a lot to think about,
822
00:44:08,767 --> 00:44:10,867
but a decision has to be made.
823
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,000
-[Brennan] Hello.
-[Tatiana] Hello.
824
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,200
What up?
825
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,667
At Dominion, Parker's crew
gathers to find out if running
826
00:44:32,667 --> 00:44:37,100
all four washplants has
reversed last week's slump.
827
00:44:37,266 --> 00:44:38,867
[Mitch] How'd your week go?
828
00:44:39,033 --> 00:44:41,567
Well, I tell you,
with four plants running,
829
00:44:41,567 --> 00:44:43,467
it's hopping down here.
830
00:44:43,467 --> 00:44:45,000
How about you guys?
831
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,867
Yeah, we had some
stuff happen.
832
00:44:46,867 --> 00:44:49,700
A couple days ago,
India messages me,
833
00:44:49,867 --> 00:44:52,500
and all I get is "help,"
exclamation mark.
834
00:44:52,667 --> 00:44:54,767
-No context.
-[Tatiana] Oh, no.
835
00:44:54,767 --> 00:44:57,600
[Tyson]
When I get there, and she was
up shoveling on the conveyor,
836
00:44:57,767 --> 00:45:00,100
I'm like, "You can't do that."
Like, "That is not cool."
837
00:45:00,266 --> 00:45:02,800
Like, "You have to say
'the washplant's down,'
838
00:45:02,967 --> 00:45:04,467
"or 'a loader's got
a flat tire,'
839
00:45:04,467 --> 00:45:05,667
"or 'there's a bear
in the cut,'
840
00:45:05,667 --> 00:45:07,667
because I could not
get there fast enough."
841
00:45:07,667 --> 00:45:09,367
She's like,
"What did you want me to do?
I was shoveling."
842
00:45:09,367 --> 00:45:10,533
[Brennan] Oh, my God.
843
00:45:10,700 --> 00:45:12,500
I'm like, "Well, [bleep] text,
like, three more words."
844
00:45:12,667 --> 00:45:14,266
[all laughing]
845
00:45:14,266 --> 00:45:16,367
-"Help, I'm shoveling."
-Yeah, like...
846
00:45:16,367 --> 00:45:18,767
[laughing]
847
00:45:18,767 --> 00:45:22,000
Well, you want to see
how Roxanne did, Mitch?
848
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,800
[Mitch]
Yeah, buddy, how did we do?
849
00:45:23,967 --> 00:45:28,166
First, from Ken and Stuart's
claim that's averaging
850
00:45:28,166 --> 00:45:30,700
130 ounces a week.
851
00:45:30,867 --> 00:45:33,967
All right, Roxanne.
852
00:45:34,133 --> 00:45:35,800
[Mitch] Here we go.
853
00:45:35,967 --> 00:45:42,000
30, 60, 90...
854
00:45:42,166 --> 00:45:44,266
130...
855
00:45:44,266 --> 00:45:49,967
yeah, keep going...
140, 150.4.
856
00:45:50,133 --> 00:45:51,700
-[Parker] Nice.
-[Doumitt] Yeah.
857
00:45:51,867 --> 00:45:54,000
That's an improvement
over last week.
858
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,800
-The Golden Mile.
-[Tyson] Golden Mile.
859
00:45:57,967 --> 00:46:00,700
-And that's for both plants?
-[Doumitt] Yes.
860
00:46:00,867 --> 00:46:06,100
Next, gold from Sluicifer
and Big Red on Dominion Creek,
861
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:09,900
which last week
delivered 232 ounces.
862
00:46:10,066 --> 00:46:13,400
[Tyson] We've got 20, 40...
863
00:46:13,567 --> 00:46:17,600
120, 140, 160...
864
00:46:17,767 --> 00:46:21,000
200, 230, 250...
865
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,100
251.55.
866
00:46:23,266 --> 00:46:24,867
-Nice.
-[Doumitt] Yeah.
867
00:46:24,867 --> 00:46:26,300
Deadly.
868
00:46:26,467 --> 00:46:30,367
Tatiana will now give you
the Bridge Cut.
869
00:46:30,367 --> 00:46:33,767
Finally, gold
from washplant Bob,
870
00:46:33,934 --> 00:46:36,300
averaging 170 ounces a week.
871
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:41,367
[Brennan] 10, 20, 30...
872
00:46:41,367 --> 00:46:45,367
60, 80...
873
00:46:45,533 --> 00:46:48,300
103.7.
874
00:46:50,767 --> 00:46:52,367
[Doumitt]
Down from a little bit.
875
00:46:52,367 --> 00:46:53,867
Bob's been a bit depressing,
876
00:46:53,867 --> 00:46:55,367
to be honest.
-[Doumitt] Yeah.
877
00:46:55,367 --> 00:46:57,767
Like for a pit that
we stripped like 40 feet
878
00:46:57,934 --> 00:46:59,567
of dirt off of the top of.
879
00:46:59,567 --> 00:47:02,667
[Doumitt]
I don't know if you really get
into that good pay yet or not.
880
00:47:02,667 --> 00:47:04,500
[Parker] There's a lot
of low-grade pay.
881
00:47:04,667 --> 00:47:06,767
Hopefully it'll come
back up somewhere.
882
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:12,500
Well, last week we had
428.7 ounces.
883
00:47:12,667 --> 00:47:15,767
This week, 505.4.
884
00:47:15,934 --> 00:47:17,400
Not bad.
885
00:47:17,567 --> 00:47:22,667
Our season total, 5,855.9,
886
00:47:22,834 --> 00:47:25,600
so, we're going forward.
887
00:47:25,767 --> 00:47:27,367
It'd be nice if we went forward
a little faster,
888
00:47:27,367 --> 00:47:28,700
but we're getting there.
889
00:47:28,867 --> 00:47:30,467
Yeah, we just have to keep
plugging at her.
890
00:47:30,467 --> 00:47:32,200
[Doumitt] Yeah.
891
00:47:32,367 --> 00:47:36,166
An 80-ounce increase
on last week's total,
892
00:47:36,333 --> 00:47:39,567
and with gold
at record-high prices,
893
00:47:39,567 --> 00:47:43,600
Parker's mined over
$20 million,
894
00:47:43,767 --> 00:47:48,000
more cash than he's ever made
in one season.
895
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,767
-[Parker] All right.
-Keep it up, you guys.
896
00:47:49,767 --> 00:47:51,700
-[Parker] Thanks, guys.
-You bet.
897
00:47:51,867 --> 00:47:54,266
-Excellent job, as always.
-[Doumitt] Thank you.
898
00:47:54,433 --> 00:47:56,767
-We try to keep it clean.
-[Parker] That is super clean.
899
00:47:56,934 --> 00:47:57,900
[Doumitt] Yeah.
