[moody tones play]

The last few weeks have been really difficult and set us back

quite a bit with low recovery, uh...

and low ounces an hour and lots of hours and lost production

and just being a general pain in the ass.

[narrator] Parker Schnabel is ready for a new chapter in his season

and is launching an all-out blitz to hit his 10,000-ounce

goal by getting over 600 ounces this week.

We've got four plants back up and running now,

which is really good.

We've got GG, the Golden Goose, running.

The new plant's awesome.

You know, GG is a really nice addition to the sluicing fleet.

And so that's, you know, hopefully gonna

put us over the top because it does run a bit more yardage

than any of the other plants on the mine site.

With Dominion Creek firing on all cylinders, Parker's relying

on his other claim, Ken and Stuart's,

run by foreman Mitch Blaschke,

to be the difference-maker this week.

We're just, like, spread really thin

and you know, Mitch has done

an incredible job without having a ton of equipment.

Well, right now I'm in the 550 here at Ken's,

loading rock trucks, and we are barely keeping up with Roxanne.

Washplant Roxanne is running all-out, putting pressure on

Mitch's two rock truck drivers to stay ahead of the pay pile.

[Mitch] Here at Ken's, it's all about yardage.

The ground here in Cut Two isn't real high-quality, so we got

to get through the volume.

And in order to do that, I need, you know, as many

trucks down here as I can get.

You know, we've been pushing everything since the start

of the season here. Everybody's getting tired.

Yeah, so Mitch is pretty frustrated right now.

We need some support.

Like, they want us to get all this pay out of here.

We need some [bleep] help, for sure.

Hey, Billy, how's she going today, buddy?

Yeah, I'm just feeling super tired towards the end

of the season here.

Yeah, that happens, buddy.

[trucks rumbling]

-[loud crash] -[clattering]

[Billy] [bleep]!

Mitch, you got a copy?

[Mitch] Billy, copy.

[Billy] I got sucked into the ditch a bit.

Box is really close to tipping.

[Mitch] All right, man. I'll be over there in a sec.

[incredulous laughter]

Ha-ha-ha! Holy [bleep]!

Billy, how you doing?

There's a little bit of piss in my pants,

but other than that...

-[camera clicks] -[cackles]

[Mitch] Holy [bleep]!

When it's leaning like this, you can't dump it

to get the load out.

You know, you can see the tire's already

off the ground.

It'll flip it the rest of the way over.

Last thing we want to do is damage anything.

[Sean] You want to do it, or do you want me to do it?

What are you doing?

[Mitch] Yeah, dude, I'll jump in there and do her.

If the fully loaded rock truck's box tips any further

into the ditch, it could flip Billy's cab.

So what we're going to do here, I'm gonna try keep

a little pressure on this, put it in drive, just give it

a little bit of throttle and a little bit of steering

input back towards the center of the road, and if you feel

that cab start lifting at all, just kick it into neutral

as fast as you can, because the last thing we want

is this cab to roll here. -Yeah, copy that.

-You ready? -Yeah.

[suspenseful music plays]

[metal groaning]

Try and give it a little.

[revving]

There we go.

[bleep], man.

Dude, that A-stay is smoked.

The A-stay holds the front axle

suspension system together.

I'm just limping this truck back to Dominion.

You know, I've just lost 50% of my trucking crew.

The pay pile's getting low. I need trucks rolling.

-Yo! -[Taylor] Yo!

What's going on?

Unfortunately, this one here is completely shot.

This A-stay bushing is kind of brought out, and --

a little concerned just because, like...

this plate is completely dropped.

So, you got one, two, three...

four...

five broken bolts.

This is a [bleep] nightmare.

Those broken bolts are two inches inside of that hole.

The A40 rock truck has a front suspension axle stay that keeps

the front axle aligned when moving on uneven ground.

It's made up of two shock absorbers and two spherical

bushings all bolted together to the frame of the truck.

But five bolts have broken off inside its housing.

To get them out, holes will need to be drilled into

the bolts so an extractor tool can fit inside

and unscrew them.

Then the A-stay can be pulled apart and new parts installed,

allowing the truck to be driven safely.

Every hour we're not moving material is putting us behind.

[Taylor] I get that, dude.

I think the fastest thing to do is we just fix this.

But we can't give you a spare right now.

I don't have a spare available here.

There's no spares around here, man.

-[Mitch] Nothing? -No.

Tyson's not gonna give up any trucks.

[Mitch] Well, maybe I'll just go take one.

I think you should.

[Mitch] We're gonna have to figure something out,

because otherwise we're gonna be turning off a wash plant.

Let's go find Tyson and see

if we can get ourselves a rock truck.

You know, I've only got two rock trucks down at Ken's,

and one of them's gone down, so we definitely can't keep

the plant going with what we got.

There he is right there. Perfect.

Hey, man, how's it going?

Pretty good. You?

Oh! Had better days. In search of a rock truck.

We got the front axles about ready to fall out of one of

ours, so I took it to the yard. Janko's working on it.

He's got the parts, but he's going to be a bit

to get it running.

And I was hoping you had a spare that I can grab,

get back down so we can keep sluicing.

We don't really have a spare, man.

We're running flat out here with three wash plants.

Yeah, I hear you.

I don't know what to say, because, yeah, every truck's

being used, and you know how it is when you're running

lots of trucks. One goes down,

another gets up, and it's...

I mean, if I don't get a truck and get back down there,

like, Roxanne's gonna shut down.

Right.

[Mitch] So, I mean, I could really use the favor today, bud.

I mean, I know it's not ideal, man, but I just... -Yeah.

...if we're gonna hit 10,000 ounces, we gotta try

and keep all these wash plants running.

It'd do me a huge favor if you had something I could...

I could grab right now, man.

Right, well,

I just can't do that, man.

-[Mitch] Thanks. -No worries.

[Mitch] This is [bleep].

[mysterious music plays]

[bird cawing]

Last week was a big blow, you know.

We spent almost two months stripping this Valhalla Cut,

and when we got to the bottom, you know, right above pay,

we got the worst news, basically, at least 20 feet

of clay on top of that, and we do not have the time

this year to deal with it.

So we had to abandon that and move on, and it's --

that's a big one. That's a big [bleep] up.

Rick Ness is licking his wounds.

After spending a million dollars on his Valhalla Cut,

he hit a clay layer,

blocking his path to the pay dirt.

Rick doesn't have enough time to break through it this year,

and now he's heading back to another spot he abandoned

earlier this season.

[Rick] We've got no choice now.

We've got to return to Vegas Valley.

We've got, uh... pay dirt.

We know it's good. We know it's got a lot of gold.

We still got a lot of work to do to make it safe.

Last year, Rick's Vegas Valley Cut saved his season,

paying out nearly 2.1 million dollars

in just three weeks of running.

-Whoo! -[all cheering]

Seven weeks ago, Rick and his crew tried to return

to the hot spot.

[Rick] I don't like this.

It's too dangerous.

But were forced to pull the plug.

Hey, Bailey, let's get the [bleep] out of here.

We need to get this set up better.

We're not ready for this.

With the unstable wall making it too hazardous to mine,

Rick decided to gamble on opening a brand-new cut,

Valhalla, hoping to hit an even bigger score.

If we do this, we're not just risking our gold bonuses

or your gold, but it could be the end of the company as well.

Now, with the little money he has left,

he's back where he started.

[Rick] We've got a bit of an overhang of permafrost

that's hanging over it. I just don't like it.

It's not safe right now.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

I have to clean it up.

If this new plan doesn't pan out, Rick has one final option.

Tony Beets came here and he gave me an offer on this ground

to buy everything and it's a really good offer.

It's starting to look like maybe the smartest thing

I can do.

And I turned it down, but you know,

nothing's off the table forever.

Yeah, you know, I think this is our best plan of action,

just trying to get down to pay as quick as we can.

We know there's pay here.

Pretty sure Rick knows what the [bleep] he's doing.

He could probably show me a few things.

To get to Vegas Valley's exposed pay, Rick needs Bailey

in the 700 to widen the far side of the cut, creating more

space for their trucking crew.

But there's a block of thawing permafrost overhanging

the entrance to the cut, making the wall unstable.

Rick must use the 460 to dig back the overhang and make it

safe enough to mine the cut below.

[Bailey over radio] Can you hear me, Rick?

Yeah, go ahead.

It definitely probably sucks to be in that 460 right now,

not a 700.

[Rick] I don't know how I'm even gonna make this work,

but that's what I'm gonna do.

Walk back and forth a million times.

Harder than [bleep].

You know, we don't have a dozer here

or any kind of ripper machine

to get this permafrost out of here.

All I've got is our 460, and -- with this big old

kind of held-together bucket,

you know, you can't cry about it.

You can't just not do it.

You just have to do it.

[rattling]

[rattling, clanking]

What the [bleep] is that?

Are you [bleep] kidding me?

Oh, dude.

Oh, [bleep] great.

That's a first.

[bleep]!

[ominous music plays]

[Rick] Yeah, this is not what we need right now.

That's the only other excavator, and they've got

no [bleep] bucket now.

[bleep] [bleep]!

Rick Ness has hit a major obstacle

on his return to Vegas Valley.

Ryan, you got a copy?

[Ryan over radio] Yeah, go ahead.

Yeah, I just ripped the [bleep] floor

out of a bucket on that 460.

It's completely gone.

I guess I don't know what you're going to do about it,

but I'm gonna -- I guess I'm gonna get this machine

the [bleep] out of here if I can,

and we're gonna have to look for another bucket.

[brooding music plays]

[scoffs]

What the [bleep]?

Yeah, I knew it was worn out,

but I didn't think it was that [bleep] worn out.

[Ryan laughing]

I mean, I've seen it happen before.

I didn't think this one was there.

I knew it was getting thin.

[Ryan] Looks like it's been patched together before.

So what's gonna be the quickest?

-You better go buy a bucket. -Yeah.

I would get your phone out of your pocket

and start making calls.

Well, you got to figure out who to call first.

Yeah.

Good luck with that.

I'd pretty much do it as soon as that happened,

that we could fix that bucket, but it's gonna take

way too long. We need that machine now,

so I'm gonna have to find a new one

and get it here [bleep] quick.

[truck honking]

[rapid music plays]

Klondike kingpin Tony Beets has been on cruise control,

with two plants sluicing on the Indian River and son Mike's

trommel running 24-7 on Paradise Hill.

But last week, Tony stumbled, spending $4 million

on a property he can't mine.

To bring in even more gold,

Tony wants son Mike to dial up his production.

[Mike] Huh, I wonder who that could be.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike sighs] I've got better days, had worse.

[Mike] Yep.

[Mike] Hm.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] That's from when the dredges

used to come around here.

Five years ago, Tony discovered two old-timer

dredge boilers at the Hester Cut.

[Tony speaking]

From 1913 until the 1960s, the old-timers dredged

the Hunker Valley for gold, and on one legendary day,

they pulled in 800 ounces.

Tony thinks they abandoned the dredge at his Hester Cut,

leaving behind a pocket of rich virgin ground.

[Tony speaking]

But the spot has been Tony's perennial

end-of-season nemesis.

[Tony speaking]

[machine humming]

[squelching]

Talk about a waste of [bleep] time.

Now, he's determined to conquer the cut.

[Mike] I was just thinking, when we start digging it out,

you start with the wall first, if anything, because then

if anything slumps down, we don't have to worry

about it no more.

Yeah.

Yes.

Before he can pump out the water, Tony needs to remove

the old dredge boilers, then make the hillside safe

from sloughing into the cut by digging it back

and trucking the mud out.

[clanging heavily]

[Mike] Perfect.

Put the other one over there too.

[heavy thuds]

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] He's gonna have to clean it off a bit, level it off

so the trucks can get up to them flat.

[Zach] OK, sounds good.

With a stable ledge,

the trucks can start hauling the mud out.

Hopefully it all goes smooth, and then, yeah, I'll be happy.

But if it is consistent [bleep] [bleep]

then, no, I really ain't gonna be happy.

Job done.

Wall dug back,

now, Mike and his crew can focus on draining the cut.

[Mike] End of the week?

[Tony speaking]

[Colby] Everything on that fuel well is tight, right?

Yeah, OK.

[Mike] Fire in the hole!

[machine rumbles]

[Tony speaking]

We're trying to catch up here.

Having that rock truck go down definitely didn't help us out.

You know, we're behind right now.

Foreman Mitch Blaschke is feeling the pressure,

with Parker relying on him for a good haul this week.

He's been down to one rock truck hauling pay

for the last 24 hours.

[Mitch] How's it going, man?

It's a big cut. We're gaining on it.

[Parker] Yeah, which is good.

What do you -- do you think we're going to get through this?

It'll be close.

-[Parker] You think it'll be close? -Yeah.

I'm a little concerned about it.

We're hauling pay up there

just while I have, like, one truck.

[Parker] All right, yeah, I don't really have anything else.

[Mitch] We're still gonna have to keep the circuit going.

[Parker] There's nothing we can do about it.

Just do as good a job as you can, right?

You know, the truth is, Dominion, that's a priority

right now... -[Mitch] OK.

[Parker] ...which is a little bit problematic for you,

but it won't be for long, I don't think.

[Mitch] OK.

Um...

OK.

-All righty, well... -[Parker] Right.

-[Mitch] We'll keep at it. -[Parker] Thanks, man!

[Mitch] All right. No worries, man.

You know, we've all got

to learn to share our resources up here.

There's a lot going on, but, you know, one truck down

here is 50% out of my fleet at the moment.

For some reason, it's still not here.

Man, it should have been here hours ago.

So just gonna get a hold of Taylor here.

Yeah, hey, Taylor, man.

Uh, just down here at Roxanne.

We're not gonna be able to keep up with this thing.

[Taylor] Um...

Dude, I don't know what to tell you, man.

It's not gonna take us too long.

We can get this thing up and running for you.

OK. Thanks, man.

The rock truck's fix has been delayed due to five broken

bolts inside the A-stay housing.

[Janko] Just finishing up here,

trying to get this last bolt out.

Once I get a hole through it, I should be able to tap

an extractor through it and try to take it out.

Nice.

Cut all the way through it.

I finally got these broken bolts out.

With the final bolt out, Janko and Taylor can now

separate the A-stay and remove the worn parts.

So we need to lift up this front end of the truck here to

split the A-stay from the frame and then get it pounded out

and get new parts put back in.

Just trying to get this thing

right on the tow hooks to lift it.

This A-stay should start separating.

Yeah, there we go.

OK, hopefully this thing will just fly out of here.

Beauty.

We got these and now I'm ready to install them.

Everything's all cleaned up, ready to go.

[rugged music plays]

So this is gonna push this bushing into this housing.

As you can see, it's going up nice and easily now.

[grunting]

Awesome, it's seated.

Should be able to send this thing to work right away.

[Janko over radio] Hey, Mitch, this truck is good to go.

Hey, Billy, go get your truck, man.

We got some pay to haul.

[Billy] We're the A-team out here, baby.

Mitch and his skeleton crew are back to full strength

and must now play catch-up to deliver a big haul this week.

It's so nice having that rock truck here now.

It's making a huge difference.

We're getting caught up,

and it is putting a dent in this material.

I know it took a little bit to get it here,

but it's certainly worth the wait.

[whimsical music plays]

Well, today I'm in Dawson City.

I don't get over here too often anymore, but I need a bucket

for my 460 excavator.

Hoping to get a good deal on one.

This is where the Gold Rush happened.

This is where everybody came to, and they were in

the gold fields just outside of this town

trying to make their fortune.

There was a lot of gold out there.

I mean, there is still good ground here, but it's real hard

to come by, you know.

People have had it locked in for a long time,

and Parker and Tony probably have the bulk of it.

If I'm being honest, I mean, they both have tons of ground,

and they're making a fortune.

I've seen a lot of people come and go since I've been here,

and not a whole lot of people stay.

Somehow I've managed to stay for 13 years.

Rick is heading to the Hunker Creek turnoff,

which leads to some of the biggest gold mines

in the Klondike.

I've only been to this spot once before.

It's, uh...

Look at this stuff.

Look at that. Money to burn.

brand-new D11.

There's a sign that says "Office" on it.

It's gotta be it.

All right.

Hopefully he's around.

Puppy dog. Wet dog.

-[Parker] What's up? -[Rick] What's going on, man?

-Who's the wet dog? -It's Bosco.

-Have you met Bosco? -[Rick] No, I haven't.

How's it going?

[Rick] Good, man. Good to see you.

-[Parker] It's a pleasure. -[Rick] You good?

-[Parker] Oh, yeah. -[Rick] All right.

[Parker] No, I'm having a blast still.

[Rick] That's good.

I mean, there's a brand-new D11 sitting there.

-That's [bleep] cool. -[Rick] Fresh off the truck.

-How many of them? -That's number five.

-Elevens? -[Parker] Yeah.

Holy [bleep], man.

I've heard rumblings. How many wash plants?

-Four. -Holy [bleep], man.

[Parker] Yeah.

This is, especially with gold prices up, this has become

a much bigger sluicing project.

So you just have to have the wash plants going.

[Rick] Yeah. Slammed.

-Hence four plants. -Yeah.

What else is new?

[Rick] I need to find a bucket.

[Parker] Let's go have a look around.

Cool.

[grunting]

What's your season been like?

Mm...

-Chasing a girl, you know. -[Rick] Sure.

Same as you, probably.

I don't know, I'm not chasing any single one anymore, ever.

[laughing]

Do you have any pin on 460 buckets?

I -- we might.

Oh, right there.

There's these guys.

[Rick] I remember that bucket.

[Parker] I don't think that fits, because this we used

for the coupler, right?

-Because we had a coupler. -[Rick] Yeah, yeah.

[Parker] I'm pretty sure this is a Hitachi bucket.

Yeah, that's the wrong one.

Um...

-There's a real peach for you. -That's a beauty.

[Parker] I think this might be your only bet.

-Not in terrible shape. -[Rick] No, not too bad.

What do you want for it, a handshake?

[Parker] I'm not saying I'm going to give it to you for free.

[Rick] So maybe you could help us out?

I mean, I would normally say like, 10 grand,

but that's just because I don't like...

dealing with things like this. I don't know.

Five grand?

Yeah, why not? Five grand?

Yeah. Perfect.

-Appreciate it. -[Parker] No worries.

What else do you need?

-Half my life back. -[Parker] Yeah.

-Can't help you there. -[Rick laughs]

[Parker] Do you think about getting out?

I mean, I...

less think about getting out

and just wonder when the out is.

-Sell the place. -[Rick] Eh...

I'll buy it from you.

Sell the place.

I'll buy it from you.

[dramatic tones play]

[Rick] The only other competition is Tony.

He keeps coming down there.

Yeah, he won't pay you what it's worth.

[Rick] No.

It'd be a bad time to sell, I think.

[Parker] Well, no, when gold prices are high, is the time to do it.

-[Rick] Yeah. -[Parker] OK.

Think about it.

All right, well, I'm sure you need to get back to the grind.

I have a few things I need to get wrapped up.

[grunts]

All right.

[Rick] Good to see you as always, man.

-For real. -[Parker] Good to see you, too.

[Rick] Well, it's always good to visit Parker,

see what he's got going on out here.

I mean, it's astonishing.

The amount of work that they get done here,

it's just crazy. It's cool to see.

And I got a 460 bucket out of it,

and, you know, got to catch up,

and it's a good trip.

Time to get back to the mine.

[intriguing music plays]

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] Yeah.

[Monica] This is as far as you're going?

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] It does.

Mike has drained the Hester Cut

ahead of schedule and has already started

hauling pay out of the cut.

It does.

[Mike] Yes.

[Mike] Yeah, I agree.

Well, this is why I said, "You don't come in here unless

you're going to come in here full [bleep] force."

Because otherwise...

if we stop for a week, it'd look like that again.

Yeah.

[Tony speaking]

Yeah.

Fearing that the cut could flood again, Tony wants to get

all gold-rich pay dirt out as quickly as possible,

so he sends in a fleet of machines.

[rugged music plays]

[operator over radio] It's to the floor, Tony.

Rock truck driver. Rock truck [bleep] driver.

Oi! [bleep] moron in the truck!

That's not where my bucket is.

[Tony speaking]

I need him over here so he can get out.

Otherwise, he's gonna be in the way

of the other trucks, too.

[Tony speaking]

[honking]

Oh, no. Where are we going?

Where are we going?

Oh, no!

Will we get up this hill?

Well, we've got no choice but to.

[Tony speaking]

It doesn't want me to go up the hill.

I just got to come at it from a different angle.

[Tony speaking]

Monica Beets.

She got stuck.

Come on, little truckie, you can do it.

Good.

Two hours later, the operators have found

their stride in the chaos

and are starting to build a pay pile.

[Tony speaking]

-That looks pretty good, Mike. -Thank you, Monica.

Cut now under control, Monica heads back to Indian River

to clean more gold.

Tony tells you he's proud of you by...

not telling you he's proud of you.

And that's just how that is.

That's how it'll always be.

If he calls you a [bleep], it's probably better

than if he says, "You've done a great job."

So, yeah, back up with the 460. Finally got a bucket on it.

You know, I went all the way to Parker's, and he was nice

enough to sell me one.

You know, getting this permafrost out of here

so we can get back into Vegas Valley.

After five days of work, Rick has nearly dug back

the overhanging permafrost

while Bailey has widened the bottom pit,

ready for his rock trucks to start hauling.

[Rick] Ah, that should do it right there.

I feel a hell of a lot better about that.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, Bailey, you got a copy?

Yeah, go ahead, Rick.

Yeah, I feel a hell of a lot better about this overhang.

I got it all pulled back, and I think that you continue

the way you're going now, and we'll be in business.

Just get after it.

[Bailey] [bleep] great, man.

Thanks.

Rick's crew can finally get to work digging for gold

at the bottom of Vegas Valley.

[Rick] You know, Tony made me this big offer on the ground,

and I really didn't even think about it

because I liked the direction we were heading.

But now, you know, Parker's offer, who knows?

That might be the answer for the future.

There's a lot to think about.

It's really [bleep] with my head.

-[Mike] Hello. -[Minnie] Hi, guys.

Long time, no see.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] Yes.

So do I.

The Beets family already have a record gold haul this season.

[Monica] Should we weigh it up?

With the two wash plants in the Indian River averaging

over 450 ounces a week, the only question is,

how much more can they get this year?

So, this is Sluice-A-Lot.

[Minnie] 20, 40, 60...

100, 150...

180, 200...

230, 240, 250, 260...

267.9.

Yeah, Sluice-A-Lot has been down a little bit,

but it's up again now.

[Mike speaking]

[Minnie] Find-A-Lot.

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60...

100, 130...

160, 180...

200, 220...

247.5.

In just one week, Tony's two plants

have delivered nearly $2 million.

-[Mike] Yeah. -True.

[Tony speaking]

-[Monica] Ready to weigh it up? -Yes.

10, 20, 30, 40, 50...

As well as opening the Hester, Mike's crew have run

Paradise Hill's trommel,

averaging 215 ounces a week.

[Mike] 310, 320...

340, 380, 400...

408.46.

All-in, a massive 924 ounces,

worth over $3.2 million,

the Beets' best-ever gold weigh.

[Tony speaking]

Yeah.

The Beets' season total, 8,257 ounces.

Nearly $28.9 million in gold.

You guys should clean this up.

-Put it away. -[Tony speaking]

[Monica] Bye!

[Mike] Sounds like a plan.

Bye.

[intriguing music plays]

-Yo, yo. -[Tyson] Hey, man.

After Tony's monster gold weigh,

Parker is now 470 ounces behind.

We're swamped down here, back to four plants again.

-Yeah, finally. -[Doumitt] Oh.

Were you able to keep Roxanne going all week?

-We were, yeah. -[Tyson] That's good.

[Doumitt] I know Mitch and Tyson butted heads a little bit,

but no punches were thrown, huh?

I'm disappointed in you guys.

[laughing]

I didn't raise you right.

Last week, Parker's three wash plants brought in

just over 421 ounces.

Let's start with Big Bob.

Now he has four wash plants running at full capacity

and wants at least 600.

[Doumitt] Come on, Brennan!

-Ready? -[Brennan] Yep.

Bob has been running in the Bridge Cut,

where it's averaging 150 ounces a week.

[Tyson] 20, 40...

60, 100, 130...

152.55.

-[Parker] Nice. -[Doumitt] Not bad.

-[Brennan] Yeah, that's good. -They've been consistent.

Gotta give them that.

[Doumitt] OK, Tyson, ready?

For the first time, Parker has two plants sluicing

the huge Golden Mile pay pile.

First up, his oldest wash plant.

[Tyson] Big Red, here we go!

20, 40...

100, 110, 130...

133.15.

[Mitch] Yeah!

Parker, do you want to do the Goose?

Sure.

[Doumitt] Here's your brand-new baby.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...

[laughing]

40, 50...

uh... 70, 90...

Keep going.

160...

177.05.

Nearly $620,000.

-[Brennan] Nice. -[Parker] Hell yeah.

-[Doumitt] Yeah. -Good purchase.

-Sick. -[Tyson] [bleep] yeah.

That pretty much almost paid it off.

To hit Parker's goal this week,

Mitch's plant, Roxanne, needs to deliver

over 137 ounces.

The old Ken and Stuart's operation, eh?

-Yeah. -[Mitch] All right.

Let's see what we got here.

We got 20...

60, 80...

100, 120, 130...

143.8

-[Parker] Nice. -[Doumitt] Yeah.

-[Parker] This was solid. -Yeah!

Last week we had 421.3 ounces.

This week...

it's 606.55.

So, we broke 600 ounces in a week.

-[Parker] Wicked. -[Tyson] Back on track.

That fourth plant makes the world of difference,

it really does.

[Parker] So, where does that put us?

[Doumitt] So our season total...

is 8,393.65.

Worth nearly $29.4 million,

the most ounces of gold Parker was ever mined

in a season,

putting him back in a pole position,

with over 136 ounces more than Tony.

There has never been a better time to be gold mining, ever.

We just need to keep these things going.

[Tyson] Mm-hmm.

I know it's been a hell of a year, and at this time of

year, things get so difficult, but I appreciate you guys just

sticking with it and, you know, keeping everything running.

[Tyson] That's what we're here for, man.

[Doumitt] All right, gents.

[Mitch] Such a good week,

having four wash plants back running,

and, you know, now we're over 8,000 ounces.

It's in shot to hit 10,000.

If this weather holds, we can keep these plants going.

Just got to try and make it happen.
