Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:10,980
We were going to do 9 ,000 ounces this
year. Half of that was supposed to come
2
00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:11,980
out of the Indian River.
3
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:15,000
The money invested there is huge.
4
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:20,340
We had seven cuts there, strips, ready
to go. So we probably give or take $10
5
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:24,420
million of land to be picked up. Four or
five thousand ounces. Sure.
6
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,040
For two long years, Klondike kingpin
Tony Beats has been trying to unlock his
7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,860
gold -rich ground on Indian River.
8
00:00:36,010 --> 00:00:39,610
It all kicked off with shocking news in
2019.
9
00:00:40,070 --> 00:00:41,610
We don't have a water license.
10
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:42,930
We have to leave.
11
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:48,310
Denied a water permit, he tried the
following year.
12
00:00:48,710 --> 00:00:49,930
Worked. Sucks.
13
00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:51,830
Now we're right back to square one.
14
00:00:52,830 --> 00:00:58,850
After two failures, he applied again
this year, wanted to be correct once
15
00:00:59,230 --> 00:01:00,230
No, no license.
16
00:01:00,550 --> 00:01:02,770
This season is pretty well down the
tube.
17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,920
In a major pivot, Paradise Hill has
become Tony's main earner.
18
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:16,760
In a bid to hit the elusive 4 ,500
ounces, Tony's running 350 yards an hour
19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,160
white channel pay through Mike's
trommel.
20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,900
We've had a relatively successful
season, but I'm disappointed that we
21
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:28,440
get into the Indian and reach that 9
,000 ounce gold.
22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,200
But the king hasn't given up on his
prized Indian river yet.
23
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:37,570
Yep. Come on, Tony.
24
00:01:39,970 --> 00:01:43,150
Tony's hired an expert to advise on a
new application.
25
00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:47,950
We took soil samples. We did a small
vegetation inventory.
26
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:54,410
I'm completely encouraged by what we
saw. I have 95 % confidence that this
27
00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:56,290
license is good and will be issued.
28
00:01:56,690 --> 00:02:01,450
That would be awesome because there is a
lot of money at stake.
29
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,100
After three long years, Tony now
believes that a new license is imminent
30
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:14,060
in no mood to waste any more time.
31
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,940
If we do get a license in the Indian
River, we're going to have to get this
32
00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:20,900
trommel up and rolling because we've got
a pretty late start.
33
00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:26,580
I've got the 50 -ton train coming up, so
we're going to lift this thing up and
34
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:27,580
put it on the truncheon.
35
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,420
It would be nice to get this trommel
finished so we can put it out in the
36
00:02:31,420 --> 00:02:32,420
River.
37
00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:38,600
To be ready to sluice the Indian River
claims, Tony's breaking out the 40 -foot
38
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
BC trommel.
39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,580
Tony, do you have a copy?
40
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,280
Len, go ahead.
41
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:45,560
I got stuck on the hill.
42
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,660
Okay, I'll be right there.
43
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:53,000
We've got a truck and a crane stuck
halfway to the hill.
44
00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:56,720
Everybody's going to go down there and
have a look, see what the situation is.
45
00:02:56,820 --> 00:03:00,380
Because every time we've got something
stuck on the hill, we've got to pay
46
00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:01,380
attention.
47
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,980
So it happened when I heard a bang and I
didn't have any traction anymore.
48
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,520
And then I had a look under it and the
oil came out of it. So now there's a
49
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,340
crack from one side to the other side of
the air box.
50
00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:15,700
So it's used completely.
51
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:23,300
The 20 degree hill is the worst possible
place to break down.
52
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,440
As the crane and Kenworth truck combined
weigh just shy of 100 tons.
53
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Mike, do you copy? Mike, do you copy?
54
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:34,020
All right.
55
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Can you bring that D -11 over to the
hill? Bring the D -11 over to the hill.
56
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,800
I mean, this hill has always been
dangerous.
57
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:50,200
You know, you always want to turn
something, break in something.
58
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:51,680
Probably just never know.
59
00:03:57,030 --> 00:04:00,170
Okay, I'll get in the back. We'll get
Mike to tighten it up, Len.
60
00:04:01,470 --> 00:04:05,130
Okay, Mike, slowly, slowly tighten it.
Slowly, slowly, then Len can let the
61
00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:06,130
brakes off.
62
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:07,630
Ripper shank up a little bit.
63
00:04:09,850 --> 00:04:11,210
Good. Drill it in a bit more.
64
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:12,990
Good. Hold it.
65
00:04:13,530 --> 00:04:16,050
Okay, I want everybody in front of the
cab.
66
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:20,450
Everybody in front of the cab. Nobody
behind the load going up the hill. You,
67
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:22,610
get in the pickup truck. Get out of it.
68
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:24,610
Over the cable snaps, chain brake.
69
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,820
You just never know. We always take as
many precautions as we can.
70
00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:30,700
Pulling up this hill.
71
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,080
You ready?
72
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,480
Yeah. Pull it. Let's go.
73
00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:57,950
You can see it's going up the hill all
right.
74
00:04:58,610 --> 00:05:00,350
I'm always glad when it's up on top.
75
00:05:00,590 --> 00:05:04,910
As soon as we get it there, we'll unload
it and let's put that trommel in place.
76
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:18,290
Now we start working on the trommel.
77
00:05:19,010 --> 00:05:22,090
It's always nice if it goes safe and up
on top of the hill.
78
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:42,500
The gold at Mud Mountain is definitely
looking better, but we've already blown
79
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:43,660
the budget out the window.
80
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,640
So we'll see.
81
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Hopefully the gold continues.
82
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,580
With just four weeks left of the season,
27 -year -old Parker Snavel has finally
83
00:05:56,580 --> 00:05:58,040
found gold at Mud Mountain.
84
00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:03,200
His team are now in a race to cash in
before season's end.
85
00:06:05,260 --> 00:06:06,940
Trying to get this stuff ready.
86
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,240
As we've been working our way through
Bud Mountain, the gold's been getting
87
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,240
better.
88
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,140
It looks like this downstream end of it,
just the last piece that we stripped,
89
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:20,080
seems to have the best gold.
90
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,580
I probably should know better than
trying to rest most of your season on
91
00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:29,460
pot, but who knows?
92
00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:31,380
Maybe it's there, maybe it's not.
93
00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:35,440
With so much at risk, Parker needs a
steady earner.
94
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,820
And he has it in the form of rookie
plant boss Tyson Lee, who's running
95
00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:43,080
land ground four miles away.
96
00:06:43,460 --> 00:06:48,080
This time of year, we're making a huge
push to grab every ounce of gold that we
97
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,080
can.
98
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,740
That kind of stirs Tyson still plugging
away. It's going fast, you know, the
99
00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:54,980
back cut.
100
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,560
I think Jen's a little off on the naming
of his cut.
101
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:04,860
It's a good cut.
102
00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:06,270
did not do so good.
103
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:09,590
The bad cut is doing better than the
good cut.
104
00:07:10,050 --> 00:07:13,790
And the ugly cut, I don't know, you
never know until it's in the jar.
105
00:07:16,090 --> 00:07:19,350
Sluiceper is going to be done in the bad
cut and looking to move to the ugly,
106
00:07:19,390 --> 00:07:23,470
and the ugly is far from ready. So
there's a lot of work to do, a lot of
107
00:07:23,470 --> 00:07:24,470
move.
108
00:07:25,310 --> 00:07:28,770
You know, this year we've been stretched
thinner than any other year.
109
00:07:29,630 --> 00:07:32,550
And that's because of Mud Mountain and
it being 60 feet deep.
110
00:07:34,410 --> 00:07:37,990
The ugly cut is almost double the size
of the bad cut.
111
00:07:38,770 --> 00:07:43,010
With winter fast approaching, Tyson will
have to double his production rate.
112
00:07:44,490 --> 00:07:49,430
So, he's come up with a radical new
plan, as long as Parker agrees.
113
00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:53,770
Hey man, how's it going?
114
00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:56,010
Good, how are you? Pretty good, thanks.
115
00:07:57,210 --> 00:07:58,210
What's going on?
116
00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:03,750
In this next plant pod setup, I was
thinking of setting Lucifer up, so...
117
00:08:04,190 --> 00:08:07,430
You know, normally we have the wash
plant pad height being the same height
118
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:08,430
the wash plant.
119
00:08:08,870 --> 00:08:11,530
Thinking of sitting a wash plant up on a
pedestal.
120
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:16,390
Let's say this is our wash plant pad,
right? And this is where the wash plant
121
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:17,390
would normally sit.
122
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:22,650
I want to kind of stick it out here so
the fines can travel around.
123
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:27,610
The only comment I would have is if you
were going to have undermining issues,
124
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:31,950
but if you've got lots of nice big
coarse bedrock, then...
125
00:08:32,650 --> 00:08:33,870
I trust your judgment.
126
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:39,750
Right on. And whatever you can do to
stay as self -sufficient as possible is
127
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:42,270
best thing for us because we're spread
so thin, as you well know.
128
00:08:42,530 --> 00:08:46,030
And I'm thinking if things work out the
way I think it will, we should be able
129
00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:48,970
to get away with three guys on days and
two on nights down there.
130
00:08:49,470 --> 00:08:52,830
That'll free up another guy to be in a
truck. I'm not going to say you're on
131
00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:58,310
your own down there, but act like you
are until you really need help.
132
00:08:58,950 --> 00:08:59,950
Right on.
133
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,980
I'll go get to her. Thanks, man.
134
00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:10,080
In a normal setup, tailings from the
wash plant build up, meaning the crew
135
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,400
to continually clear them.
136
00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:18,800
Python's plan is to use 40 ,000 tons of
material to build a mega pad, allowing
137
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,980
the fine tailings to fall away from the
plant, saving on time and crew.
138
00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:27,220
Normally it takes us about a week.
139
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,000
to build the wash plant pad, and we
started yesterday.
140
00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:32,300
Well, the pressure's on.
141
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,780
And now we're at the point where we can
get this. Holy, this thing has some
142
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:41,780
gremlins in it.
143
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,200
My other hose down because it's doing a
park region. This one's on the print.
144
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:56,780
VCU failure.
145
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:58,280
Communications failure.
146
00:09:58,500 --> 00:09:59,580
Now it won't move.
147
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,040
And now it just died.
148
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:09,280
Yeah, keep... Come on, Jerv.
149
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:10,560
Let's go.
150
00:10:12,980 --> 00:10:14,360
It's a massive blow.
151
00:10:14,980 --> 00:10:21,080
Without the powerful 700 excavator,
finishing the 60 -foot -high megapod
152
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,080
take days.
153
00:10:23,050 --> 00:10:26,070
The shutdown has already cost Tyson five
hours.
154
00:10:26,850 --> 00:10:29,090
Absolute mess on top of the batteries
here.
155
00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:32,910
How's it going, Jay?
156
00:10:33,450 --> 00:10:35,410
Want me to get Dumit's canoe for you?
157
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:36,730
Yeah, we might need it.
158
00:10:36,990 --> 00:10:39,070
Is there any chances of it running
tonight, Jay?
159
00:10:39,490 --> 00:10:44,450
No way. No? No way. You have to probably
use one of the other hoes. Okay.
160
00:10:45,610 --> 00:10:51,330
With the 700 out of action, Tyson is
forced to finish the pad.
161
00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:53,490
using the smaller 480.
162
00:10:55,450 --> 00:11:01,710
You know, normally we use the 750 or the
700, which is a lot bigger than a 480,
163
00:11:01,790 --> 00:11:05,250
but I guess I've got to make do with the
480.
164
00:11:13,410 --> 00:11:14,790
Final bucket.
165
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:17,730
Get ready to shut her down.
166
00:11:19,830 --> 00:11:20,870
All right, Tyson.
167
00:11:32,750 --> 00:11:37,930
Lucifer will now lie idle until Tyson
can finish the new Megapod.
168
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,100
So the beginning of the season went
really well. I was thinking we were
169
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:02,980
a stride. The last couple weeks have
been nothing but a disaster.
170
00:12:05,540 --> 00:12:12,440
At California Creek, Special Forces
medic Fred Lewis has mined just half his
171
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,620
-ounce season goal.
172
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,180
We're not even coming close to hitting
our low -end goal at this point if this
173
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:21,180
continues, and Sandra and Jorg are
definitely not happy with what we're
174
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:22,180
in.
175
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,340
Fred needs to find a way to ramp up his
goal production.
176
00:12:26,270 --> 00:12:27,510
People winter aligned.
177
00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:31,850
Right now we're kind of, we've got to
figure out how to get ourselves where
178
00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:32,850
we're at.
179
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:36,270
As hard as we've been pushing this
season, it's been a struggle.
180
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:40,990
We've really outgrown our equipment. We
are pushing everything to the max every
181
00:12:40,990 --> 00:12:42,670
day, including ourselves.
182
00:12:44,170 --> 00:12:50,410
Now Fred's landlords, Jorg Lott and
Sandro Fritzi, have arrived to check if
183
00:12:50,410 --> 00:12:52,290
is hitting his pre -agreed targets.
184
00:12:52,810 --> 00:12:53,810
What's up, guys?
185
00:12:53,930 --> 00:12:54,930
How's it going, Fred?
186
00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:55,879
How are you doing, sir?
187
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,720
Good. So let me show you guys the cut
we've just opened up and what we're down
188
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,500
to as far as pay. Yeah, okay.
189
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,940
How many yards have you done at this
point?
190
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:11,040
Right now, we just crossed 6 ,000 yards
as a team. Total? Total, as a team, from
191
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,040
the day we started.
192
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:14,920
You remember what's in the contract.
193
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:19,800
It's 35 ,000, so... Yeah, that's...
Whoa, you're far away.
194
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,440
Yeah. You don't want to wait 20 years
until the streak is done.
195
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,880
A real miner, a good miner, an
experienced miner, would have done
196
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,100
week. You know, you want to be feasible
and you want to earn some money. And
197
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:35,760
with scenery this size, you won't earn
much money.
198
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,600
This is not a sandbox, you know.
199
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:41,340
Tripping is the key to the success of
this.
200
00:13:42,940 --> 00:13:47,360
To come to the point, in order to come
back next year, you need bigger
201
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,980
now, this fall, not next year.
202
00:13:51,380 --> 00:13:53,060
Fred, you're missing.
203
00:13:53,930 --> 00:13:55,850
A big dozer of fuel.
204
00:13:56,070 --> 00:13:57,070
Let's be honest.
205
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:59,930
Okay. I can do that. I can work on that.
206
00:14:03,470 --> 00:14:04,470
We hope so.
207
00:14:07,710 --> 00:14:13,530
With only two small excavators, Fred's
been running just 1 ,000 yards a week.
208
00:14:14,170 --> 00:14:17,650
A bigger dozer could move dirt three
times faster.
209
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:22,830
It's a simple matter of numbers, and
Fred isn't hitting his.
210
00:14:23,390 --> 00:14:28,090
For them to make money on this
operation, we need to be putting a lot
211
00:14:28,090 --> 00:14:32,110
material through our plant and giving
them a lot more gold in the end. So they
212
00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:35,390
want better. And if we want to stay
here, we want this to be our home for
213
00:14:35,390 --> 00:14:38,530
next four or five seasons, we're going
to have to perform, we're going to have
214
00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:40,650
to find bigger equipment, and we're
going to have to do what they want.
215
00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:44,590
Hey, Tony,
216
00:14:45,790 --> 00:14:46,810
this is Fred. How you doing?
217
00:14:47,790 --> 00:14:51,750
So my claim owners are kind of putting
an ultimatum on me.
218
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:55,250
to step up my production a little more.
219
00:14:55,550 --> 00:14:59,810
That would entail me finding larger
equipment, and I'm not finding anything
220
00:14:59,810 --> 00:15:03,010
locally. So what kind of equipment would
you look at?
221
00:15:03,230 --> 00:15:04,970
We're looking for a D8 or a D9.
222
00:15:05,310 --> 00:15:09,950
Okay, well, at the time, Fred, we're
pretty super busy here, and I honestly
223
00:15:09,950 --> 00:15:15,150
don't think I have anything for you. If
I come up with something, we'll give you
224
00:15:15,150 --> 00:15:15,989
a shout, okay?
225
00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:17,930
All right. I really appreciate it, Tony.
Thank you.
226
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:20,150
Good. See you shortly.
227
00:15:20,350 --> 00:15:21,350
Yep. Bye.
228
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,800
That was a strikeout.
229
00:15:34,820 --> 00:15:37,120
Brandon! Hey, friend. What's going on?
230
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,220
Oh, just picked him, you know. How's it
been?
231
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Good. You? Oh, man. Actually, not good.
232
00:15:45,740 --> 00:15:50,920
Neighboring mine boss, Brandon Clayton,
also leases ground from Jorg and Sandro.
233
00:15:51,869 --> 00:15:55,250
Sandra and York came over and kind of
put an ultimatum on me. Where they're
234
00:15:55,250 --> 00:15:57,910
like, we need more from you if you're
going to stay here.
235
00:15:58,110 --> 00:16:01,810
Oh no. We've gotten to a point up there
where our equipment's just scraping
236
00:16:01,810 --> 00:16:07,030
away. We're putting like 250, 250 yards
through the plant a day. So if we had a
237
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:09,910
dozer, obviously a dozer would solve 99
% of our problem.
238
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:11,490
Fred, I really wish I could help.
239
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:16,450
I'm stressed right now as it is trying
to run just a day shift. Like I'm
240
00:16:16,450 --> 00:16:19,430
900 on one shift with this trauma right
now.
241
00:16:19,930 --> 00:16:23,710
And we're at the point where we're
struggling as well to try and get it up
242
00:16:23,710 --> 00:16:25,890
enough to make a full day, right? Right.
243
00:16:26,530 --> 00:16:30,630
I'm short a hole right now. I need one
with the plant.
244
00:16:30,830 --> 00:16:31,970
I need one stripping.
245
00:16:32,270 --> 00:16:37,090
Maybe if I can use another hole, like
one of yours, and then I can give you my
246
00:16:37,090 --> 00:16:39,490
dozer. Yeah, I think that's something we
can work on.
247
00:16:40,890 --> 00:16:45,370
Maybe there's a way we can work
together.
248
00:16:46,970 --> 00:16:48,370
So what are you trying to say?
249
00:16:48,890 --> 00:16:52,450
If we could somehow figure a way where I
could get used to some of your bigger
250
00:16:52,450 --> 00:16:55,990
equipment over here, I think there may
be a kind of a middle ground we can come
251
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:58,790
up with where we just consolidate our
equipment to where it helps us both.
252
00:16:59,030 --> 00:17:00,030
Like a partnership?
253
00:17:00,290 --> 00:17:02,290
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You know, I've got
Buzz.
254
00:17:02,530 --> 00:17:06,390
I can run our night. Yeah. I think it's
a good idea, actually, Fred, really, if
255
00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:11,910
you think about it. I mean, I'm only
running 12 hours a day, and we're
256
00:17:11,910 --> 00:17:13,630
to the time when it's starting to
freeze, so...
257
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:18,000
I want to run 24 hours, basically have
to, to keep my plant going and not
258
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
freezing overnight.
259
00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:23,880
We can't run two plants at once. That's
the only issue. I would be willing to
260
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,540
pull that plant completely, put it on
reserve up there, and run your plant.
261
00:17:29,780 --> 00:17:34,860
And we'll pull from my area, your area,
just get dirt around this season.
262
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:37,320
And we could just split the goal 50 -50.
263
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Split 50 -50.
264
00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:48,130
I think we got a deal. I'm down with it.
Give me the courtesy of running it by
265
00:17:48,130 --> 00:17:50,910
my guys, see what they think, and then
we'll just move from there.
266
00:17:54,050 --> 00:17:58,270
The partnership could allow the pair to
sluice three times as much pay dirt.
267
00:17:58,810 --> 00:18:04,770
If the Clayton's massive trommel can run
24 -7, it'll get Fred one step closer
268
00:18:04,770 --> 00:18:06,830
to hitting Sandro and York's goal.
269
00:18:07,950 --> 00:18:09,730
But only if Fred's crew agree.
270
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,000
It boils down to numbers. If we combine
forces, like really partnered with
271
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,500
Brandon and started pulling our pay over
to his plant, we're going to be able to
272
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,080
put up to 1 ,800 yards a day through his
plant.
273
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,520
And we're putting 300 through ours.
274
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,540
The only downside that I see is their
equipment's down, like, all the time.
275
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:33,360
That would be my concern.
276
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:35,260
You know, they break down, too.
277
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,740
The other risk is we end up hating each
other.
278
00:18:40,429 --> 00:18:42,190
I mean, what kind of season do we want?
279
00:18:42,450 --> 00:18:46,010
That's the question. Do we want to
scrape by and pull 100 ounces and hope
280
00:18:46,010 --> 00:18:48,190
Sandra and Jorg see that as our best?
281
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:54,370
Or do we want to prove to them if we had
bigger equipment, Brandon, this is the
282
00:18:54,370 --> 00:18:57,150
difference. I don't want to go home
saying, yeah, we scraped it by.
283
00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:00,630
I want to go home with our heads held
high in a pocketful.
284
00:19:01,050 --> 00:19:04,030
You know, it's a little bit risky, but I
really think this could save our
285
00:19:04,030 --> 00:19:04,949
season, guys.
286
00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:06,930
As long as we're running pay.
287
00:19:07,939 --> 00:19:12,700
and pulling gold, then we're good. I
don't want to have another season where
288
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:13,700
go home with Jack.
289
00:19:14,060 --> 00:19:16,440
All right, guys, we good with this?
Yeah, man.
290
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,840
All right,
291
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:23,480
let's get it then. Let's get this work
done and move forward.
292
00:19:27,380 --> 00:19:33,740
Brandon's crew and Fred's misfits have
assembled to form one united team.
293
00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:50,210
I'm feeling really good about the
collaboration.
294
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:54,970
And you know, things that we might not
have, they bring to the table.
295
00:19:55,210 --> 00:20:00,070
And what they don't have, we bring to
the table. So I think it's a really good
296
00:20:00,070 --> 00:20:01,070
relationship.
297
00:20:01,530 --> 00:20:07,380
The only way I'm going to prove to
Sandro and yours, and to my investor,
298
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:10,360
can do this on a larger scale than it
seemed with Brandon.
299
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,280
So right now, we're going to show what
we're made of.
300
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,540
A paradise hell, the beats are moving
metal.
301
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,420
I'd like to bring it to the Indian
River.
302
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:26,480
There is a chance we may get an license
this year. If we do, at least we'll have
303
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,300
this trommel laying there ready to go.
304
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,280
We're going to lift the trommel up.
305
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,460
And then we'll slide the skid out.
306
00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:38,520
And after we slide the skid out, we'll
load that on a trailer.
307
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,580
And then we'll come back in with another
trailer.
308
00:20:41,780 --> 00:20:44,840
And we'll just put the trommel on that
one.
309
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:50,000
Okay, tighten the cables, gentlemen.
310
00:20:50,220 --> 00:20:51,220
Tighten the cables.
311
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,180
More, more, more, more, more, more,
more.
312
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,400
Hold it right there.
313
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,940
Okay, gentlemen, give it a try. See what
they can do.
314
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,760
Lift the thing up, lift the thing up.
Up.
315
00:21:04,450 --> 00:21:05,670
Good. Roll it like that.
316
00:21:07,050 --> 00:21:08,050
Come on, I got this.
317
00:21:14,830 --> 00:21:17,210
Come on, I got this.
318
00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:20,830
Okay.
319
00:21:27,530 --> 00:21:28,530
Good.
320
00:21:28,810 --> 00:21:29,810
Roll it in there, Mike.
321
00:21:36,570 --> 00:21:38,250
Good. Okay, careful. Let her down.
322
00:21:43,450 --> 00:21:44,450
Good job.
323
00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:53,510
Keep her coming. Keep her coming. Good.
324
00:21:55,410 --> 00:22:00,250
Yeah. I want two over on this side, and
I want two over here.
325
00:22:00,930 --> 00:22:02,270
Monica, I think we got enough.
326
00:22:03,490 --> 00:22:04,490
All right, Dad.
327
00:22:04,650 --> 00:22:05,650
Okay, Mike, down.
328
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:08,070
Down, down, down, down.
329
00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:09,310
Down, down.
330
00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:12,190
Okay, Len, let it down. Len, let it
down, please.
331
00:22:14,210 --> 00:22:15,410
Good. Hold it right there.
332
00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:22,770
That's all you can do, Kevin.
333
00:22:24,670 --> 00:22:31,110
With the 10 -ton BC trommel secured,
it's time to haul it the 40 miles to
334
00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:32,110
River.
335
00:22:32,410 --> 00:22:33,410
Moving.
336
00:22:35,879 --> 00:22:38,560
Anyway, we'll get this one set up down
the hill.
337
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:43,100
We're going to get the audible loaded,
and then two trucks in the river. Off
338
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:44,100
they go.
339
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,280
So we have a problem on the way. We got
a skid on the way.
340
00:22:51,660 --> 00:22:53,880
We have a little dozer.
341
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,320
All right.
342
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,400
Nicely cruising. Road looks good.
343
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,500
And we'll drop them off and see if we
can make it home for supper, I guess.
344
00:23:30,389 --> 00:23:32,010
Well, that's a lot of ground.
345
00:23:32,730 --> 00:23:34,130
We made it down there.
346
00:23:37,370 --> 00:23:40,330
It actually feels good to be back here
for a minute.
347
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:44,970
So we're going to drop off the load,
turn and burn as they call it.
348
00:23:58,670 --> 00:24:02,490
Sluicifer coming to an end in the bad
cut. It's my responsibility to get this
349
00:24:02,490 --> 00:24:03,490
pad set up.
350
00:24:04,790 --> 00:24:11,090
At the ugly cut, plant boss Tyson Lee's
operation has been down for 24 hours as
351
00:24:11,090 --> 00:24:12,850
he builds an ambitious new pad.
352
00:24:16,510 --> 00:24:19,430
Well, there goes the last rock truck
load of grizzly tailings.
353
00:24:19,650 --> 00:24:24,550
The plant pad is done. We can drag
sluicifer over here and start on the
354
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:31,560
Ison's banking on the elevated pad to
accelerate his production rate.
355
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,900
But first he must move Lucifer up the
steepest ramp he's ever built.
356
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,620
Right now we're just hooking up the
cables and we're going to drag Lucifer
357
00:24:43,620 --> 00:24:46,980
to the wash plant pad we built. It's
looking pretty good over there.
358
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:49,900
Just got to get her up there safely.
359
00:24:51,180 --> 00:24:54,220
The 700 was having issues and...
360
00:24:54,830 --> 00:24:58,810
Alex figures it's electrical so we're
gonna have to make it work with the 480.
361
00:25:13,230 --> 00:25:16,290
You know this is kind of like trying to
move a dump truck with a two -door
362
00:25:16,290 --> 00:25:17,290
sedan.
363
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,620
It would be nice to have the 700 to move
this thing because right now I'm
364
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:30,680
struggling to pull it and 700 would just
move it like none other.
365
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:44,520
I think
366
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,740
where we're going to really struggle is
going to be pulling it up the pot and
367
00:25:47,740 --> 00:25:48,940
getting it stirred.
368
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,700
It'll be interesting to see how Tyson
gets the plant up here and swings it
369
00:25:57,700 --> 00:26:04,660
around. They'll definitely be on the
sides of it. And that's a dirt
370
00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:07,520
slump, so that's about as steep as it's
going to get.
371
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,080
Well, it's going to be a foot at a time.
372
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,740
Now as you can tell the 480 is really
struggling to pull this thing up.
373
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:25,080
Got to get her to the top of this hill
and thin it a little.
374
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:31,580
This 480 is not liking this kind of a
view.
375
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,220
I wonder how much you trust those
cables.
376
00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:49,610
Because if he's loaded up like that and
they pop, the excavator could even just
377
00:26:49,610 --> 00:26:53,230
go upside down right over him. Yeah,
that's quite a drop there.
378
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:17,380
for Parker's table?
379
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:25,780
Proof, if proof were needed, about the
stresses at play when trying to move a
380
00:27:25,780 --> 00:27:26,860
-ton wash plant.
381
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,380
That goes to show how heavy this wash
plant is. Oh, yeah.
382
00:27:32,220 --> 00:27:34,040
I thought we'd hit the wash plant.
383
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,740
But, Jacko, I can live with that.
384
00:27:37,460 --> 00:27:43,440
Take two.
385
00:27:48,780 --> 00:27:50,020
Your ticks almost pull out.
386
00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:51,260
Carol, your bucket.
387
00:27:53,740 --> 00:27:54,740
You got her.
388
00:28:00,580 --> 00:28:07,440
Please don't come
389
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,440
at me, wash plant.
390
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,600
Almost hit the bottom.
391
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:15,120
Looks all good.
392
00:28:18,190 --> 00:28:22,170
Right now we're just trying to spin the
slucifer and make sure it ends lined up
393
00:28:22,170 --> 00:28:25,970
with the trough I've made because if it
doesn't it's going to be a fight trying
394
00:28:25,970 --> 00:28:27,130
to move it side to side.
395
00:28:34,170 --> 00:28:35,170
Perfect.
396
00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:37,950
Thank you.
397
00:28:40,810 --> 00:28:42,430
Well guys, she's in place.
398
00:28:42,990 --> 00:28:44,750
Yeah. Good work guys.
399
00:28:45,580 --> 00:28:49,200
Good work in the excavator. That's a
professional level. That's right there.
400
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,660
That hill on that side, that was
impressive.
401
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,239
Thanks, man.
402
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,340
Yeah. Let's get back at her.
403
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,600
Yeah.
404
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,480
Lucifer is now ready to start running
hundreds of yards of gold -rich pay
405
00:29:08,060 --> 00:29:10,480
You know, we got Lucifer in place,
level.
406
00:29:11,020 --> 00:29:14,720
Banks in place. As you can tell, there's
a lot of drop for fine tailings to go.
407
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,760
Yeah.
408
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,920
Definitely high up there.
409
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,620
Here we go. Here starts the ugly cut.
410
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:36,980
That was the first scoop right there.
411
00:29:57,870 --> 00:29:59,710
You know, I'm actually really, really
excited it's happening.
412
00:30:00,270 --> 00:30:03,950
Whereas right now we'd be able to eke
out 100 ounces, we're going to probably
413
00:30:03,950 --> 00:30:08,210
triple that and come out with like 300.
So hopefully we'll be able to, you know,
414
00:30:08,210 --> 00:30:11,370
make us all a little bit of money, a
little bit of gold.
415
00:30:13,550 --> 00:30:19,150
At California Creek, Fred Lewis has shut
down his wash plant and teamed up with
416
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:20,590
neighbor Brandon Clayton.
417
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,260
And decommissioning Mount Paisuvius. We
are moving our pay pile, what's left of
418
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:31,540
it, over to Brandon's plant.
419
00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:39,920
He's put the D9 dozer to work ripping
pay in hope of running at least 9 ,000
420
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,580
yards a week through Brandon's wash
plant.
421
00:30:44,540 --> 00:30:48,960
The mission team is still pretty green
at morning, so I'm just double -checking
422
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,160
our cuts, making sure that we're not too
deep.
423
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:52,760
We're taking enough.
424
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,040
and we're not leaving anything behind.
425
00:31:00,820 --> 00:31:02,500
Brad. Hey, Frank.
426
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,760
Good morning, man.
427
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,920
How's it going?
428
00:31:05,460 --> 00:31:06,460
Not too bad.
429
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:07,880
What's happening?
430
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,840
You guys asked us to kind of step it up
as far as production goes.
431
00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:16,660
Bigger equipment, right? Yeah, so I met
with Brandon and just talked about what
432
00:31:16,660 --> 00:31:19,880
issues we were having, and it kind of
dawned on us. I've got too small of
433
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,420
equipment. Right now, he's got too big
of equipment.
434
00:31:22,890 --> 00:31:24,270
So we decided to go at it together.
435
00:31:29,550 --> 00:31:33,710
I hope this will work out. You know,
before we had two mining operations and
436
00:31:33,710 --> 00:31:34,810
it's one mining operation.
437
00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:38,810
It's a little risky for both of us. But
I think if we work together and
438
00:31:38,810 --> 00:31:42,710
communicate, I think you guys will see a
huge production increase from this.
439
00:31:42,910 --> 00:31:45,210
Because obviously he's got the bigger
capacity.
440
00:31:45,590 --> 00:31:50,350
But with our small equipment and with
our extra guys, we can help his plant
441
00:31:50,350 --> 00:31:51,410
24 hours a day.
442
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,160
and get that high yardage and shoot for
1 ,800 yards a day.
443
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,140
We will see. You have to prove yourself
in a few days.
444
00:32:00,540 --> 00:32:03,700
We will be here soon and check out what
you're doing.
445
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,120
I felt like Brandon and I made a great
decision, and I thought that it was the
446
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,260
best possible choice for us going
forward, but now it just seems a lot
447
00:32:16,260 --> 00:32:20,220
risk. It seems like Sandro and Jorg are
really going to expect big numbers.
448
00:32:23,129 --> 00:32:26,550
Teaming up with Brandon is kind of a
last resort if we're going to be able to
449
00:32:26,550 --> 00:32:31,590
really pull the season off. We'll finish
the season, but I don't want to limp
450
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:32,529
through the finish line.
451
00:32:32,530 --> 00:32:35,610
I want to come out victorious with a
gold medal.
452
00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:39,230
Warren,
453
00:32:42,870 --> 00:32:45,370
what's up? JV, I got a problem, man.
454
00:32:46,010 --> 00:32:47,010
Blew a tire.
455
00:32:47,130 --> 00:32:48,890
I got a puncture in the right side.
456
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:57,100
Clayton crew operator Warren Binney has
blown a tire on the loader being used to
457
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:58,100
feed the plant.
458
00:32:59,260 --> 00:33:00,500
Yeah, that's it there.
459
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:02,360
That's a pretty big hole.
460
00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:07,660
It's either the tail rock that split it
or maybe a piece of metal in the tail
461
00:33:07,660 --> 00:33:08,660
end or something like that.
462
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,540
So that's our only loader, you know what
I mean? That's a key piece of equipment
463
00:33:15,540 --> 00:33:16,540
that we need.
464
00:33:16,890 --> 00:33:20,570
to make sure that the plant's running so
it's stopping us from processing the
465
00:33:20,570 --> 00:33:24,410
pay. If this keeps happening, then we're
not going to meet our quota. It's a
466
00:33:24,410 --> 00:33:25,410
real mess.
467
00:33:28,630 --> 00:33:29,770
So what do you got? Let's see.
468
00:33:30,010 --> 00:33:32,590
Good deal.
469
00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:33,810
That looks great.
470
00:33:36,430 --> 00:33:40,890
JB and his new comrades must patch the
tire in double quick time.
471
00:33:43,590 --> 00:33:44,770
And there it is.
472
00:33:46,090 --> 00:33:48,690
Push the tire down again so you can get
that ring on.
473
00:33:48,950 --> 00:33:49,950
Gotcha, gotcha.
474
00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:03,910
It's going now.
475
00:34:04,190 --> 00:34:05,330
Yeah, it keeps going now.
476
00:34:06,130 --> 00:34:10,949
It's going to expand the tire so it
actually forms a seal, which we got it
477
00:34:11,469 --> 00:34:13,130
Let's get her back on our loader.
478
00:34:14,350 --> 00:34:17,130
You can start washing rocks again. I
think you had a holiday today.
479
00:34:26,210 --> 00:34:27,210
That's on there.
480
00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:29,750
Hey, NASCAR does it a whole lot faster.
481
00:34:35,790 --> 00:34:40,469
Three hours of downtime has only
intensified the pressure on Fred.
482
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:43,860
to prove his risky alliance can bear
fruit.
483
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,020
You know, this took way longer than we
wanted it to, but the best thing I took
484
00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:51,520
out of today is I'm seeing my guys work
with Brandon's guys, seeing fist bumps.
485
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:55,179
Everyone's stressed, and this is not
what we want to be doing, but we're
486
00:34:55,179 --> 00:34:56,639
it together, and that's what keeps me
happy.
487
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:03,120
A mud mountain.
488
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,400
There's a different sort of holdup, one
that foreman Mitch Blaschke was happy to
489
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,400
instigate.
490
00:35:10,090 --> 00:35:14,250
So normally we go four days between
cleanups. This has only been two days
491
00:35:14,350 --> 00:35:16,670
and you see the gold already piling up
in all the ripples.
492
00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:18,810
So it's time to do a cleanup.
493
00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:20,710
This is a good problem to have.
494
00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:27,010
So this is just a, what, two -day run?
Yeah, this is just two days.
495
00:35:28,090 --> 00:35:29,790
So this mat here, look at that.
496
00:35:30,530 --> 00:35:31,810
That's just one handful.
497
00:35:37,420 --> 00:35:40,420
He just picked his tongue up off the
carpet like that.
498
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,720
This is the stuff we've been waiting on.
499
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,380
And it looks like the wait was worth it.
Yeah.
500
00:35:54,220 --> 00:35:56,340
Hi, family. Hi, guys.
501
00:35:56,820 --> 00:35:58,960
Hola. Hola. Buenos dias.
502
00:35:59,420 --> 00:36:00,420
There's a baby.
503
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,300
There's a baby on the table. We don't
love the babies on the table, it seems
504
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:05,860
like, like every time.
505
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,440
So?
506
00:36:07,759 --> 00:36:09,280
This week went pretty good, huh?
507
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,100
Yeah, lowering that trowel went good. We
had some trouble bringing the crane up
508
00:36:13,100 --> 00:36:14,100
the hill, though.
509
00:36:14,460 --> 00:36:18,600
I don't know what happened to the truck,
but that's sure going to cost a lot of
510
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:23,000
money. Oh, yeah, it's a little slick. I
haven't priced it out yet, but the gears
511
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,420
were laying on the ground, so that's not
going to be cheap. Which truck are we
512
00:36:26,420 --> 00:36:30,300
talking about? One of our 500 winch
tractors. Oh, my God.
513
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:34,780
Good thing you had that 11 up on the
hill close. Yeah. So we could drag it
514
00:36:35,150 --> 00:36:37,930
Other than that, it was pretty
uneventful, really. Yeah, I think so.
515
00:36:38,310 --> 00:36:41,890
Drop the trailers in the Indian, and
bingo, they can sit there.
516
00:36:42,850 --> 00:36:45,470
License we will get, and the tram will
be ready to go.
517
00:36:46,670 --> 00:36:49,850
And so, in all that commotion, you're
still sluiced all week, right?
518
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:50,868
Oh, yeah.
519
00:36:50,870 --> 00:36:52,710
Perfect. Old faithful never stops.
520
00:36:53,290 --> 00:36:55,710
No, that thing just keeps on rolling.
That thing does fine.
521
00:36:56,330 --> 00:36:59,550
Anyway, so what are you guys going to
do? Wait and see what we've got to do
522
00:36:59,550 --> 00:37:00,550
it.
523
00:37:01,390 --> 00:37:08,350
To reach his 4 ,500 -ounce season goal,
Tony needs 370 ounces a
524
00:37:08,350 --> 00:37:10,150
week. You ready, Mike?
525
00:37:11,250 --> 00:37:12,590
Oh, yeah. Are you ready?
526
00:37:12,970 --> 00:37:15,230
Let's do this thing, chicken wings.
Three, two, one, go.
527
00:37:16,010 --> 00:37:17,010
Five.
528
00:37:18,070 --> 00:37:19,070
Five.
529
00:37:19,450 --> 00:37:20,450
Ten.
530
00:37:20,950 --> 00:37:22,530
Forty. Fifty.
531
00:37:24,070 --> 00:37:25,490
Seventy. Hundred.
532
00:37:26,090 --> 00:37:30,310
One -twenty. One -fifty. One -seventy.
Two -hundred. Two -ten.
533
00:37:31,220 --> 00:37:33,520
250, 260, 300.
534
00:37:35,060 --> 00:37:36,060
Keep going.
535
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,420
306 .98.
536
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:43,240
Worth over $550 ,000.
537
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,100
That wasn't a bad week, though.
538
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:47,180
They're over 300 again, so that's nice.
539
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,440
I think so.
540
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:52,620
But at least, you know, we have
something to look forward to next year.
541
00:37:52,620 --> 00:37:57,660
we get back into the Indian next season,
these goals should double on us and the
542
00:37:57,660 --> 00:37:58,660
goal we had set.
543
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,300
Having both properties in the go was not
out of line.
544
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,320
But like a wise man always says, don't
count it until it's dried and weighed.
545
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,480
That's correct, but we'll get to that
point.
546
00:38:09,740 --> 00:38:14,420
But on that note, we need to leave it.
547
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,540
Well, guys, you ready for this one?
548
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,760
Oh, yeah.
549
00:38:35,020 --> 00:38:36,440
At California Creek.
550
00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:40,620
I think it was a big gamble. A little
nervous because Andrew and Jorg, they
551
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:43,920
didn't necessarily say, I want you to
team up with my other operation.
552
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,800
Right.
553
00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:50,000
It's Fred's first gold way since
partnering up with Brandon's crew.
554
00:38:51,380 --> 00:38:55,380
Hey, Jorg, how's it going? How are you
doing? Good, how are you? Good. Andrew,
555
00:38:55,660 --> 00:38:57,000
how are you doing?
556
00:38:58,090 --> 00:39:01,550
And the claim owners are back to find
out if the deal paid off.
557
00:39:02,050 --> 00:39:03,050
So, how's it going?
558
00:39:03,170 --> 00:39:04,730
I'm really glad you guys came today.
559
00:39:04,990 --> 00:39:06,930
This is our first real go -away
together.
560
00:39:07,390 --> 00:39:10,350
So, Fred, in the contra, they were 35
,000 yards.
561
00:39:10,770 --> 00:39:14,350
How many did you run at this point? We
ran 6 ,200 yards.
562
00:39:14,550 --> 00:39:17,790
6 ,200, yeah. And I guess it's an
improvement of the yard that you did
563
00:39:17,930 --> 00:39:21,410
right? We're doing 90 yards an hour
still. We're just running day and night
564
00:39:21,490 --> 00:39:24,690
Yeah, yeah. More hours per day. That's
right. And it's good.
565
00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:29,190
yep but for sure we are very curious
what's the results so yeah can we see
566
00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:35,550
numbers we got some numbers you guys
ready yeah scales over here before they
567
00:39:35,550 --> 00:39:41,710
joined forces fred and brandon averaged
a combined 19 ounces all right guys
568
00:39:41,710 --> 00:39:46,350
james are you going to call it out good
now remember guys this is only half of
569
00:39:46,350 --> 00:39:53,190
ours don't get too excited okay two
three oh there's the big gun nugget five
570
00:39:55,240 --> 00:40:01,620
9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23.
571
00:40:01,820 --> 00:40:06,160
Wow. 25, 30, no more.
572
00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:07,500
37.
573
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,160
Holy cow. 38 .36.
574
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:15,080
Worth just under $70 ,000.
575
00:40:15,740 --> 00:40:19,040
More than double the amount both crews
were getting before.
576
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,460
Fred's half share of 19 .33 ounces.
577
00:40:24,220 --> 00:40:26,060
It's his biggest ever gold hole.
578
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,680
That's pretty good for you as well,
right? I'm happy with that, yeah.
579
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:30,900
What about you guys?
580
00:40:31,140 --> 00:40:33,660
If we keep going like that, yeah, every
five days.
581
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,020
Yeah, and I believe if we get everything
dialed in, we'll be doing better than
582
00:40:37,020 --> 00:40:39,460
that. I think this is the beginning, I
think.
583
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,160
Already you double your production. I
can't say that it's bad.
584
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,180
Right. Now, if you double again, it's
even better, right?
585
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:49,660
So, yeah, it looks your idea was okay.
586
00:40:50,270 --> 00:40:53,670
sharing and getting together with
Brandon. We were a little bit skeptical,
587
00:40:53,670 --> 00:40:58,470
yeah, if you do it like in this way,
it's good. All right, guys. Well, I
588
00:40:58,470 --> 00:41:01,750
we should be getting back to work. Yeah,
I think we go back to Holland and keep
589
00:41:01,750 --> 00:41:02,830
watching. Keep going.
590
00:41:03,250 --> 00:41:04,250
Sounds good.
591
00:41:05,110 --> 00:41:09,470
At the beginning, I was kind of
skeptical about this merging, the two
592
00:41:09,590 --> 00:41:11,570
between Brandon and Fred.
593
00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:17,390
But what I saw today, I really like it.
I mean, it looks like the guys, they
594
00:41:17,390 --> 00:41:19,550
work together. They collaborate very
well.
595
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,280
And the production is gone by the toe.
Actually, there is an increase.
596
00:41:23,860 --> 00:41:27,320
So I'm pretty happy, definitely.
597
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,720
I feel like they saw the potential. They
see that this is just the beginning,
598
00:41:31,820 --> 00:41:33,000
right? And we're going to get better.
599
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,500
We doubled our yardage in five days of
running, which is freaking amazing if
600
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:38,500
ask me.
601
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:40,600
But these goalways will get bigger.
602
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:42,640
And that's really all that matters.
603
00:41:56,540 --> 00:41:59,440
What's going on, Chris? Hey, Mitch.
How's it going, man? I'm not too bad.
604
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:00,980
Good to see you, buddy. You too.
605
00:42:01,940 --> 00:42:03,740
Hey, Kieber. How you doing, man?
606
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:04,960
I like you.
607
00:42:05,260 --> 00:42:06,218
Cleaning gold.
608
00:42:06,220 --> 00:42:07,400
Yeah? Nonstop.
609
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:14,680
But you've been busy this week. You got
clues for a move over to the new wash
610
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:15,760
plant pad. She's tall.
611
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,520
Yeah, man, it's up there. It was
difficult getting it in place. Nice to
612
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,640
up there, and hopefully I don't have to
mess with tailings too much. That should
613
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:24,960
be one solid wash my pad.
614
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:29,220
Oh, yeah, man, it was nuts. I'm looking
forward to the cleanup here, Dumas.
615
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:30,360
Hopefully there's some gold in it.
616
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:31,840
Well, you want to see what we got?
617
00:42:32,980 --> 00:42:37,320
Time to find out if the last of the bad
coat lived up to its name.
618
00:42:37,580 --> 00:42:38,840
Take your guess, Parker.
619
00:42:39,060 --> 00:42:40,060
What do you got?
620
00:42:43,140 --> 00:42:44,140
192.
621
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,200
Based on how he's holding it.
622
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:54,400
10, 20, 40, 60, 130,
623
00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:57,220
160. It's over.
624
00:42:57,460 --> 00:42:59,860
200, 220,
625
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,700
240, 250, 277 .05.
626
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,400
That was way off. Worth just under half
a million dollars.
627
00:43:10,970 --> 00:43:11,970
That's a good cleanup.
628
00:43:12,250 --> 00:43:13,250
Yeah, no kidding.
629
00:43:13,590 --> 00:43:17,670
It's the last of the bad cuts, so now
we've got to see what the ugly cut's
630
00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:18,670
to do, right? Yeah.
631
00:43:18,990 --> 00:43:23,450
Hopefully not hold up to its name. All
right. This refers to Big Red.
632
00:43:25,310 --> 00:43:30,910
Parker spent over $4 million getting
down to pay in Mud Mountain after drill
633
00:43:30,910 --> 00:43:35,590
results showed it was four times richer
than any other Indian River ground.
634
00:43:36,090 --> 00:43:39,230
I see you've got two pans, Dumit, but
what are you trying to tell me?
635
00:43:39,530 --> 00:43:45,130
My scale goes up to 400 ounces. With the
way Mud Mountain has been going,
636
00:43:45,350 --> 00:43:49,110
right here, you guys, is 400 ounces.
637
00:43:50,550 --> 00:43:52,230
Well, that's a good way to start.
638
00:43:53,550 --> 00:43:55,530
That's the first thermos.
639
00:43:55,930 --> 00:44:00,450
400 on the dot. This is plus the 400.
640
00:44:00,890 --> 00:44:02,990
Let's see what we got on top of 400.
641
00:44:03,890 --> 00:44:08,130
20, 40, 100.
642
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:17,580
130, 180, 196 .6.
643
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,420
For a total of 596 .6 ounces in one
week. That's incredible.
644
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,660
Worth over $1 million.
645
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,340
We've been busy down here. Let's put it
that way.
646
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,600
I mean, just last week, Big Red had its
best week ever, and it just topped it.
647
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:37,120
This is the best week.
648
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,580
of Red's history from day one.
649
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:44,700
It's just wild how much effort and
stripping went into it and how fast
650
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:49,420
getting through it. Every hour of
sleuthing probably represents $1 ,000
651
00:44:49,420 --> 00:44:53,760
stripping or something, right? Or $2
,000 worth of stripping. For the week,
652
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:59,180
guys, believe it or not, it's 873 .65
ounces.
653
00:44:59,940 --> 00:45:02,820
Worth over $1 .5 million.
654
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:06,080
Parker's Biggest Gold Way.
655
00:45:07,710 --> 00:45:12,250
I never thought after last week we'd top
what we just did, but it's a matter of
656
00:45:12,250 --> 00:45:14,430
if it'll hold out for long enough to
make it worthwhile.
657
00:45:14,890 --> 00:45:19,870
Let's do this again next week. Yeah,
let's do it again a few more times. A
658
00:45:19,870 --> 00:45:20,870
more times, yep.
659
00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:21,928
We'll try.
660
00:45:21,930 --> 00:45:24,730
Good job, guys. All three of you. Have a
great week.
661
00:45:25,110 --> 00:45:28,990
Phil, how many rounds of golf have you
missed? Yeah, exactly.
662
00:45:29,850 --> 00:45:31,930
I didn't know I'd have to work every
day.
