Original subtitles

We were going to do 9 ,000 ounces this year. Half of that was supposed to come

out of the Indian River.

The money invested there is huge.

We had seven cuts there, strips, ready to go. So we probably give or take $10

million of land to be picked up. Four or five thousand ounces. Sure.

For two long years, Klondike kingpin Tony Beats has been trying to unlock his

gold -rich ground on Indian River.

It all kicked off with shocking news in 2019.

We don't have a water license.

We have to leave.

Denied a water permit, he tried the following year.

Worked. Sucks.

Now we're right back to square one.

After two failures, he applied again this year, wanted to be correct once

No, no license.

This season is pretty well down the tube.

In a major pivot, Paradise Hill has become Tony's main earner.

In a bid to hit the elusive 4 ,500 ounces, Tony's running 350 yards an hour

white channel pay through Mike's trommel.

We've had a relatively successful season, but I'm disappointed that we

get into the Indian and reach that 9 ,000 ounce gold.

But the king hasn't given up on his prized Indian river yet.

Yep. Come on, Tony.

Tony's hired an expert to advise on a new application.

We took soil samples. We did a small vegetation inventory.

I'm completely encouraged by what we saw. I have 95 % confidence that this

license is good and will be issued.

That would be awesome because there is a lot of money at stake.

After three long years, Tony now believes that a new license is imminent

in no mood to waste any more time.

If we do get a license in the Indian River, we're going to have to get this

trommel up and rolling because we've got a pretty late start.

I've got the 50 -ton train coming up, so we're going to lift this thing up and

put it on the truncheon.

It would be nice to get this trommel finished so we can put it out in the

River.

To be ready to sluice the Indian River claims, Tony's breaking out the 40 -foot

BC trommel.

Tony, do you have a copy?

Len, go ahead.

I got stuck on the hill.

Okay, I'll be right there.

We've got a truck and a crane stuck halfway to the hill.

Everybody's going to go down there and have a look, see what the situation is.

Because every time we've got something stuck on the hill, we've got to pay

attention.

So it happened when I heard a bang and I didn't have any traction anymore.

And then I had a look under it and the oil came out of it. So now there's a

crack from one side to the other side of the air box.

So it's used completely.

The 20 degree hill is the worst possible place to break down.

As the crane and Kenworth truck combined weigh just shy of 100 tons.

Mike, do you copy? Mike, do you copy?

All right.

Can you bring that D -11 over to the hill? Bring the D -11 over to the hill.

I mean, this hill has always been dangerous.

You know, you always want to turn something, break in something.

Probably just never know.

Okay, I'll get in the back. We'll get Mike to tighten it up, Len.

Okay, Mike, slowly, slowly tighten it. Slowly, slowly, then Len can let the

brakes off.

Ripper shank up a little bit.

Good. Drill it in a bit more.

Good. Hold it.

Okay, I want everybody in front of the cab.

Everybody in front of the cab. Nobody behind the load going up the hill. You,

get in the pickup truck. Get out of it.

Over the cable snaps, chain brake.

You just never know. We always take as many precautions as we can.

Pulling up this hill.

You ready?

Yeah. Pull it. Let's go.

You can see it's going up the hill all right.

I'm always glad when it's up on top.

As soon as we get it there, we'll unload it and let's put that trommel in place.

Now we start working on the trommel.

It's always nice if it goes safe and up on top of the hill.

The gold at Mud Mountain is definitely looking better, but we've already blown

the budget out the window.

So we'll see.

Hopefully the gold continues.

With just four weeks left of the season, 27 -year -old Parker Snavel has finally

found gold at Mud Mountain.

His team are now in a race to cash in before season's end.

Trying to get this stuff ready.

As we've been working our way through Bud Mountain, the gold's been getting

better.

It looks like this downstream end of it, just the last piece that we stripped,

seems to have the best gold.

I probably should know better than trying to rest most of your season on

pot, but who knows?

Maybe it's there, maybe it's not.

With so much at risk, Parker needs a steady earner.

And he has it in the form of rookie plant boss Tyson Lee, who's running

land ground four miles away.

This time of year, we're making a huge push to grab every ounce of gold that we

can.

That kind of stirs Tyson still plugging away. It's going fast, you know, the

back cut.

I think Jen's a little off on the naming of his cut.

It's a good cut.

did not do so good.

The bad cut is doing better than the good cut.

And the ugly cut, I don't know, you never know until it's in the jar.

Sluiceper is going to be done in the bad cut and looking to move to the ugly,

and the ugly is far from ready. So there's a lot of work to do, a lot of

move.

You know, this year we've been stretched thinner than any other year.

And that's because of Mud Mountain and it being 60 feet deep.

The ugly cut is almost double the size of the bad cut.

With winter fast approaching, Tyson will have to double his production rate.

So, he's come up with a radical new plan, as long as Parker agrees.

Hey man, how's it going?

Good, how are you? Pretty good, thanks.

What's going on?

In this next plant pod setup, I was thinking of setting Lucifer up, so...

You know, normally we have the wash plant pad height being the same height

the wash plant.

Thinking of sitting a wash plant up on a pedestal.

Let's say this is our wash plant pad, right? And this is where the wash plant

would normally sit.

I want to kind of stick it out here so the fines can travel around.

The only comment I would have is if you were going to have undermining issues,

but if you've got lots of nice big coarse bedrock, then...

I trust your judgment.

Right on. And whatever you can do to stay as self -sufficient as possible is

best thing for us because we're spread so thin, as you well know.

And I'm thinking if things work out the way I think it will, we should be able

to get away with three guys on days and two on nights down there.

That'll free up another guy to be in a truck. I'm not going to say you're on

your own down there, but act like you are until you really need help.

Right on.

I'll go get to her. Thanks, man.

In a normal setup, tailings from the wash plant build up, meaning the crew

to continually clear them.

Python's plan is to use 40 ,000 tons of material to build a mega pad, allowing

the fine tailings to fall away from the plant, saving on time and crew.

Normally it takes us about a week.

to build the wash plant pad, and we started yesterday.

Well, the pressure's on.

And now we're at the point where we can get this. Holy, this thing has some

gremlins in it.

My other hose down because it's doing a park region. This one's on the print.

VCU failure.

Communications failure.

Now it won't move.

And now it just died.

Yeah, keep... Come on, Jerv.

Let's go.

It's a massive blow.

Without the powerful 700 excavator, finishing the 60 -foot -high megapod

take days.

The shutdown has already cost Tyson five hours.

Absolute mess on top of the batteries here.

How's it going, Jay?

Want me to get Dumit's canoe for you?

Yeah, we might need it.

Is there any chances of it running tonight, Jay?

No way. No? No way. You have to probably use one of the other hoes. Okay.

With the 700 out of action, Tyson is forced to finish the pad.

using the smaller 480.

You know, normally we use the 750 or the 700, which is a lot bigger than a 480,

but I guess I've got to make do with the 480.

Final bucket.

Get ready to shut her down.

All right, Tyson.

Lucifer will now lie idle until Tyson can finish the new Megapod.

So the beginning of the season went really well. I was thinking we were

a stride. The last couple weeks have been nothing but a disaster.

At California Creek, Special Forces medic Fred Lewis has mined just half his

-ounce season goal.

We're not even coming close to hitting our low -end goal at this point if this

continues, and Sandra and Jorg are definitely not happy with what we're

in.

Fred needs to find a way to ramp up his goal production.

People winter aligned.

Right now we're kind of, we've got to figure out how to get ourselves where

we're at.

As hard as we've been pushing this season, it's been a struggle.

We've really outgrown our equipment. We are pushing everything to the max every

day, including ourselves.

Now Fred's landlords, Jorg Lott and Sandro Fritzi, have arrived to check if

is hitting his pre -agreed targets.

What's up, guys?

How's it going, Fred?

How are you doing, sir?

Good. So let me show you guys the cut we've just opened up and what we're down

to as far as pay. Yeah, okay.

How many yards have you done at this point?

Right now, we just crossed 6 ,000 yards as a team. Total? Total, as a team, from

the day we started.

You remember what's in the contract.

It's 35 ,000, so... Yeah, that's... Whoa, you're far away.

Yeah. You don't want to wait 20 years until the streak is done.

A real miner, a good miner, an experienced miner, would have done

week. You know, you want to be feasible and you want to earn some money. And

with scenery this size, you won't earn much money.

This is not a sandbox, you know.

Tripping is the key to the success of this.

To come to the point, in order to come back next year, you need bigger

now, this fall, not next year.

Fred, you're missing.

A big dozer of fuel.

Let's be honest.

Okay. I can do that. I can work on that.

We hope so.

With only two small excavators, Fred's been running just 1 ,000 yards a week.

A bigger dozer could move dirt three times faster.

It's a simple matter of numbers, and Fred isn't hitting his.

For them to make money on this operation, we need to be putting a lot

material through our plant and giving them a lot more gold in the end. So they

want better. And if we want to stay here, we want this to be our home for

next four or five seasons, we're going to have to perform, we're going to have

to find bigger equipment, and we're going to have to do what they want.

Hey, Tony,

this is Fred. How you doing?

So my claim owners are kind of putting an ultimatum on me.

to step up my production a little more.

That would entail me finding larger equipment, and I'm not finding anything

locally. So what kind of equipment would you look at?

We're looking for a D8 or a D9.

Okay, well, at the time, Fred, we're pretty super busy here, and I honestly

don't think I have anything for you. If I come up with something, we'll give you

a shout, okay?

All right. I really appreciate it, Tony. Thank you.

Good. See you shortly.

Yep. Bye.

That was a strikeout.

Brandon! Hey, friend. What's going on?

Oh, just picked him, you know. How's it been?

Good. You? Oh, man. Actually, not good.

Neighboring mine boss, Brandon Clayton, also leases ground from Jorg and Sandro.

Sandra and York came over and kind of put an ultimatum on me. Where they're

like, we need more from you if you're going to stay here.

Oh no. We've gotten to a point up there where our equipment's just scraping

away. We're putting like 250, 250 yards through the plant a day. So if we had a

dozer, obviously a dozer would solve 99 % of our problem.

Fred, I really wish I could help.

I'm stressed right now as it is trying to run just a day shift. Like I'm

900 on one shift with this trauma right now.

And we're at the point where we're struggling as well to try and get it up

enough to make a full day, right? Right.

I'm short a hole right now. I need one with the plant.

I need one stripping.

Maybe if I can use another hole, like one of yours, and then I can give you my

dozer. Yeah, I think that's something we can work on.

Maybe there's a way we can work together.

So what are you trying to say?

If we could somehow figure a way where I could get used to some of your bigger

equipment over here, I think there may be a kind of a middle ground we can come

up with where we just consolidate our equipment to where it helps us both.

Like a partnership?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You know, I've got Buzz.

I can run our night. Yeah. I think it's a good idea, actually, Fred, really, if

you think about it. I mean, I'm only running 12 hours a day, and we're

to the time when it's starting to freeze, so...

I want to run 24 hours, basically have to, to keep my plant going and not

freezing overnight.

We can't run two plants at once. That's the only issue. I would be willing to

pull that plant completely, put it on reserve up there, and run your plant.

And we'll pull from my area, your area, just get dirt around this season.

And we could just split the goal 50 -50.

Split 50 -50.

I think we got a deal. I'm down with it. Give me the courtesy of running it by

my guys, see what they think, and then we'll just move from there.

The partnership could allow the pair to sluice three times as much pay dirt.

If the Clayton's massive trommel can run 24 -7, it'll get Fred one step closer

to hitting Sandro and York's goal.

But only if Fred's crew agree.

It boils down to numbers. If we combine forces, like really partnered with

Brandon and started pulling our pay over to his plant, we're going to be able to

put up to 1 ,800 yards a day through his plant.

And we're putting 300 through ours.

The only downside that I see is their equipment's down, like, all the time.

That would be my concern.

You know, they break down, too.

The other risk is we end up hating each other.

I mean, what kind of season do we want?

That's the question. Do we want to scrape by and pull 100 ounces and hope

Sandra and Jorg see that as our best?

Or do we want to prove to them if we had bigger equipment, Brandon, this is the

difference. I don't want to go home saying, yeah, we scraped it by.

I want to go home with our heads held high in a pocketful.

You know, it's a little bit risky, but I really think this could save our

season, guys.

As long as we're running pay.

and pulling gold, then we're good. I don't want to have another season where

go home with Jack.

All right, guys, we good with this? Yeah, man.

All right,

let's get it then. Let's get this work done and move forward.

Brandon's crew and Fred's misfits have assembled to form one united team.

I'm feeling really good about the collaboration.

And you know, things that we might not have, they bring to the table.

And what they don't have, we bring to the table. So I think it's a really good

relationship.

The only way I'm going to prove to Sandro and yours, and to my investor,

can do this on a larger scale than it seemed with Brandon.

So right now, we're going to show what we're made of.

A paradise hell, the beats are moving metal.

I'd like to bring it to the Indian River.

There is a chance we may get an license this year. If we do, at least we'll have

this trommel laying there ready to go.

We're going to lift the trommel up.

And then we'll slide the skid out.

And after we slide the skid out, we'll load that on a trailer.

And then we'll come back in with another trailer.

And we'll just put the trommel on that one.

Okay, tighten the cables, gentlemen.

Tighten the cables.

More, more, more, more, more, more, more.

Hold it right there.

Okay, gentlemen, give it a try. See what they can do.

Lift the thing up, lift the thing up. Up.

Good. Roll it like that.

Come on, I got this.

Come on, I got this.

Okay.

Good.

Roll it in there, Mike.

Good. Okay, careful. Let her down.

Good job.

Keep her coming. Keep her coming. Good.

Yeah. I want two over on this side, and I want two over here.

Monica, I think we got enough.

All right, Dad.

Okay, Mike, down.

Down, down, down, down.

Down, down.

Okay, Len, let it down. Len, let it down, please.

Good. Hold it right there.

That's all you can do, Kevin.

With the 10 -ton BC trommel secured, it's time to haul it the 40 miles to

River.

Moving.

Anyway, we'll get this one set up down the hill.

We're going to get the audible loaded, and then two trucks in the river. Off

they go.

So we have a problem on the way. We got a skid on the way.

We have a little dozer.

All right.

Nicely cruising. Road looks good.

And we'll drop them off and see if we can make it home for supper, I guess.

Well, that's a lot of ground.

We made it down there.

It actually feels good to be back here for a minute.

So we're going to drop off the load, turn and burn as they call it.

Sluicifer coming to an end in the bad cut. It's my responsibility to get this

pad set up.

At the ugly cut, plant boss Tyson Lee's operation has been down for 24 hours as

he builds an ambitious new pad.

Well, there goes the last rock truck load of grizzly tailings.

The plant pad is done. We can drag sluicifer over here and start on the

Ison's banking on the elevated pad to accelerate his production rate.

But first he must move Lucifer up the steepest ramp he's ever built.

Right now we're just hooking up the cables and we're going to drag Lucifer

to the wash plant pad we built. It's looking pretty good over there.

Just got to get her up there safely.

The 700 was having issues and...

Alex figures it's electrical so we're gonna have to make it work with the 480.

You know this is kind of like trying to move a dump truck with a two -door

sedan.

It would be nice to have the 700 to move this thing because right now I'm

struggling to pull it and 700 would just move it like none other.

I think

where we're going to really struggle is going to be pulling it up the pot and

getting it stirred.

It'll be interesting to see how Tyson gets the plant up here and swings it

around. They'll definitely be on the sides of it. And that's a dirt

slump, so that's about as steep as it's going to get.

Well, it's going to be a foot at a time.

Now as you can tell the 480 is really struggling to pull this thing up.

Got to get her to the top of this hill and thin it a little.

This 480 is not liking this kind of a view.

I wonder how much you trust those cables.

Because if he's loaded up like that and they pop, the excavator could even just

go upside down right over him. Yeah, that's quite a drop there.

for Parker's table?

Proof, if proof were needed, about the stresses at play when trying to move a

-ton wash plant.

That goes to show how heavy this wash plant is. Oh, yeah.

I thought we'd hit the wash plant.

But, Jacko, I can live with that.

Take two.

Your ticks almost pull out.

Carol, your bucket.

You got her.

Please don't come

at me, wash plant.

Almost hit the bottom.

Looks all good.

Right now we're just trying to spin the slucifer and make sure it ends lined up

with the trough I've made because if it doesn't it's going to be a fight trying

to move it side to side.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Well guys, she's in place.

Yeah. Good work guys.

Good work in the excavator. That's a professional level. That's right there.

That hill on that side, that was impressive.

Thanks, man.

Yeah. Let's get back at her.

Yeah.

Lucifer is now ready to start running hundreds of yards of gold -rich pay

You know, we got Lucifer in place, level.

Banks in place. As you can tell, there's a lot of drop for fine tailings to go.

Yeah.

Definitely high up there.

Here we go. Here starts the ugly cut.

That was the first scoop right there.

You know, I'm actually really, really excited it's happening.

Whereas right now we'd be able to eke out 100 ounces, we're going to probably

triple that and come out with like 300. So hopefully we'll be able to, you know,

make us all a little bit of money, a little bit of gold.

At California Creek, Fred Lewis has shut down his wash plant and teamed up with

neighbor Brandon Clayton.

And decommissioning Mount Paisuvius. We are moving our pay pile, what's left of

it, over to Brandon's plant.

He's put the D9 dozer to work ripping pay in hope of running at least 9 ,000

yards a week through Brandon's wash plant.

The mission team is still pretty green at morning, so I'm just double -checking

our cuts, making sure that we're not too deep.

We're taking enough.

and we're not leaving anything behind.

Brad. Hey, Frank.

Good morning, man.

How's it going?

Not too bad.

What's happening?

You guys asked us to kind of step it up as far as production goes.

Bigger equipment, right? Yeah, so I met with Brandon and just talked about what

issues we were having, and it kind of dawned on us. I've got too small of

equipment. Right now, he's got too big of equipment.

So we decided to go at it together.

I hope this will work out. You know, before we had two mining operations and

it's one mining operation.

It's a little risky for both of us. But I think if we work together and

communicate, I think you guys will see a huge production increase from this.

Because obviously he's got the bigger capacity.

But with our small equipment and with our extra guys, we can help his plant

24 hours a day.

and get that high yardage and shoot for 1 ,800 yards a day.

We will see. You have to prove yourself in a few days.

We will be here soon and check out what you're doing.

I felt like Brandon and I made a great decision, and I thought that it was the

best possible choice for us going forward, but now it just seems a lot

risk. It seems like Sandro and Jorg are really going to expect big numbers.

Teaming up with Brandon is kind of a last resort if we're going to be able to

really pull the season off. We'll finish the season, but I don't want to limp

through the finish line.

I want to come out victorious with a gold medal.

Warren,

what's up? JV, I got a problem, man.

Blew a tire.

I got a puncture in the right side.

Clayton crew operator Warren Binney has blown a tire on the loader being used to

feed the plant.

Yeah, that's it there.

That's a pretty big hole.

It's either the tail rock that split it or maybe a piece of metal in the tail

end or something like that.

So that's our only loader, you know what I mean? That's a key piece of equipment

that we need.

to make sure that the plant's running so it's stopping us from processing the

pay. If this keeps happening, then we're not going to meet our quota. It's a

real mess.

So what do you got? Let's see.

Good deal.

That looks great.

JB and his new comrades must patch the tire in double quick time.

And there it is.

Push the tire down again so you can get that ring on.

Gotcha, gotcha.

It's going now.

Yeah, it keeps going now.

It's going to expand the tire so it actually forms a seal, which we got it

Let's get her back on our loader.

You can start washing rocks again. I think you had a holiday today.

That's on there.

Hey, NASCAR does it a whole lot faster.

Three hours of downtime has only intensified the pressure on Fred.

to prove his risky alliance can bear fruit.

You know, this took way longer than we wanted it to, but the best thing I took

out of today is I'm seeing my guys work with Brandon's guys, seeing fist bumps.

Everyone's stressed, and this is not what we want to be doing, but we're

it together, and that's what keeps me happy.

A mud mountain.

There's a different sort of holdup, one that foreman Mitch Blaschke was happy to

instigate.

So normally we go four days between cleanups. This has only been two days

and you see the gold already piling up in all the ripples.

So it's time to do a cleanup.

This is a good problem to have.

So this is just a, what, two -day run? Yeah, this is just two days.

So this mat here, look at that.

That's just one handful.

He just picked his tongue up off the carpet like that.

This is the stuff we've been waiting on.

And it looks like the wait was worth it. Yeah.

Hi, family. Hi, guys.

Hola. Hola. Buenos dias.

There's a baby.

There's a baby on the table. We don't love the babies on the table, it seems

like, like every time.

So?

This week went pretty good, huh?

Yeah, lowering that trowel went good. We had some trouble bringing the crane up

the hill, though.

I don't know what happened to the truck, but that's sure going to cost a lot of

money. Oh, yeah, it's a little slick. I haven't priced it out yet, but the gears

were laying on the ground, so that's not going to be cheap. Which truck are we

talking about? One of our 500 winch tractors. Oh, my God.

Good thing you had that 11 up on the hill close. Yeah. So we could drag it

Other than that, it was pretty uneventful, really. Yeah, I think so.

Drop the trailers in the Indian, and bingo, they can sit there.

License we will get, and the tram will be ready to go.

And so, in all that commotion, you're still sluiced all week, right?

Oh, yeah.

Perfect. Old faithful never stops.

No, that thing just keeps on rolling. That thing does fine.

Anyway, so what are you guys going to do? Wait and see what we've got to do

it.

To reach his 4 ,500 -ounce season goal, Tony needs 370 ounces a

week. You ready, Mike?

Oh, yeah. Are you ready?

Let's do this thing, chicken wings. Three, two, one, go.

Five.

Five.

Ten.

Forty. Fifty.

Seventy. Hundred.

One -twenty. One -fifty. One -seventy. Two -hundred. Two -ten.

250, 260, 300.

Keep going.

306 .98.

Worth over $550 ,000.

That wasn't a bad week, though.

They're over 300 again, so that's nice.

I think so.

But at least, you know, we have something to look forward to next year.

we get back into the Indian next season, these goals should double on us and the

goal we had set.

Having both properties in the go was not out of line.

But like a wise man always says, don't count it until it's dried and weighed.

That's correct, but we'll get to that point.

But on that note, we need to leave it.

Well, guys, you ready for this one?

Oh, yeah.

At California Creek.

I think it was a big gamble. A little nervous because Andrew and Jorg, they

didn't necessarily say, I want you to team up with my other operation.

Right.

It's Fred's first gold way since partnering up with Brandon's crew.

Hey, Jorg, how's it going? How are you doing? Good, how are you? Good. Andrew,

how are you doing?

And the claim owners are back to find out if the deal paid off.

So, how's it going?

I'm really glad you guys came today.

This is our first real go -away together.

So, Fred, in the contra, they were 35 ,000 yards.

How many did you run at this point? We ran 6 ,200 yards.

6 ,200, yeah. And I guess it's an improvement of the yard that you did

right? We're doing 90 yards an hour still. We're just running day and night

Yeah, yeah. More hours per day. That's right. And it's good.

yep but for sure we are very curious what's the results so yeah can we see

numbers we got some numbers you guys ready yeah scales over here before they

joined forces fred and brandon averaged a combined 19 ounces all right guys

james are you going to call it out good now remember guys this is only half of

ours don't get too excited okay two three oh there's the big gun nugget five

9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23.

Wow. 25, 30, no more.

37.

Holy cow. 38 .36.

Worth just under $70 ,000.

More than double the amount both crews were getting before.

Fred's half share of 19 .33 ounces.

It's his biggest ever gold hole.

That's pretty good for you as well, right? I'm happy with that, yeah.

What about you guys?

If we keep going like that, yeah, every five days.

Yeah, and I believe if we get everything dialed in, we'll be doing better than

that. I think this is the beginning, I think.

Already you double your production. I can't say that it's bad.

Right. Now, if you double again, it's even better, right?

So, yeah, it looks your idea was okay.

sharing and getting together with Brandon. We were a little bit skeptical,

yeah, if you do it like in this way, it's good. All right, guys. Well, I

we should be getting back to work. Yeah, I think we go back to Holland and keep

watching. Keep going.

Sounds good.

At the beginning, I was kind of skeptical about this merging, the two

between Brandon and Fred.

But what I saw today, I really like it. I mean, it looks like the guys, they

work together. They collaborate very well.

And the production is gone by the toe. Actually, there is an increase.

So I'm pretty happy, definitely.

I feel like they saw the potential. They see that this is just the beginning,

right? And we're going to get better.

We doubled our yardage in five days of running, which is freaking amazing if

ask me.

But these goalways will get bigger.

And that's really all that matters.

What's going on, Chris? Hey, Mitch. How's it going, man? I'm not too bad.

Good to see you, buddy. You too.

Hey, Kieber. How you doing, man?

I like you.

Cleaning gold.

Yeah? Nonstop.

But you've been busy this week. You got clues for a move over to the new wash

plant pad. She's tall.

Yeah, man, it's up there. It was difficult getting it in place. Nice to

up there, and hopefully I don't have to mess with tailings too much. That should

be one solid wash my pad.

Oh, yeah, man, it was nuts. I'm looking forward to the cleanup here, Dumas.

Hopefully there's some gold in it.

Well, you want to see what we got?

Time to find out if the last of the bad coat lived up to its name.

Take your guess, Parker.

What do you got?

192.

Based on how he's holding it.

10, 20, 40, 60, 130,

160. It's over.

200, 220,

240, 250, 277 .05.

That was way off. Worth just under half a million dollars.

That's a good cleanup.

Yeah, no kidding.

It's the last of the bad cuts, so now we've got to see what the ugly cut's

to do, right? Yeah.

Hopefully not hold up to its name. All right. This refers to Big Red.

Parker spent over $4 million getting down to pay in Mud Mountain after drill

results showed it was four times richer than any other Indian River ground.

I see you've got two pans, Dumit, but what are you trying to tell me?

My scale goes up to 400 ounces. With the way Mud Mountain has been going,

right here, you guys, is 400 ounces.

Well, that's a good way to start.

That's the first thermos.

400 on the dot. This is plus the 400.

Let's see what we got on top of 400.

20, 40, 100.

130, 180, 196 .6.

For a total of 596 .6 ounces in one week. That's incredible.

Worth over $1 million.

We've been busy down here. Let's put it that way.

I mean, just last week, Big Red had its best week ever, and it just topped it.

This is the best week.

of Red's history from day one.

It's just wild how much effort and stripping went into it and how fast

getting through it. Every hour of sleuthing probably represents $1 ,000

stripping or something, right? Or $2 ,000 worth of stripping. For the week,

guys, believe it or not, it's 873 .65 ounces.

Worth over $1 .5 million.

Parker's Biggest Gold Way.

I never thought after last week we'd top what we just did, but it's a matter of

if it'll hold out for long enough to make it worthwhile.

Let's do this again next week. Yeah, let's do it again a few more times. A

more times, yep.

We'll try.

Good job, guys. All three of you. Have a great week.

Phil, how many rounds of golf have you missed? Yeah, exactly.

I didn't know I'd have to work every day.
