Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,976
Winter is here.
2
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,456
And we have very limited time left now.
3
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,416
And we're really close
to the goal, but this time of
4
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,496
year, everything's pretty
near its breaking point.
5
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,360
31-year-old Parker schnabel is
closing out the busiest season
6
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,376
of his life, running 24/7 for six months.
7
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,760
And it's paying off.
8
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,440
He's close to breaking
his 10,000-ounce goal,
9
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,416
but is barely ahead of
neighbor Tony beets.
10
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,776
Mitch is busy running
the stripping program
11
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,520
in the midst of, you know,
trying to keep Roxanne running
12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,656
and starting our next pit on
the Indian river for next year.
13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,280
And then Tyson is just,
you know, fighting to keep...
14
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,760
The three plants on dominion running.
15
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,536
To hit his goal this week,
Parker's cranking up
16
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,376
his four wash plants to
run even more pay dirt.
17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,816
Just got to keep... keep
these wash plants running.
18
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,576
Parker, got a copy? Parker.
19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,006
Who's that?
20
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:26,616
Yeah, go ahead.
21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,240
We've got a big problem with Roxanne.
22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,656
Got some cracked cross tubes here.
23
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:38,446
All right. Yeah, I'll let Mitch know.
24
00:01:38,470 --> 00:01:40,270
He'll come up and
have a look at it with you.
25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,000
Stupid plant.
26
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,800
- Hey, Mitch.
- What's happening, man?
27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,296
Just trying to figure out the best way
28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,750
to get rid of this water over here.
29
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,576
Alec just radioed me, and
there's bigger problems.
30
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,240
There's a bunch of cracks in
the screen deck on Roxanne.
31
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,360
No good.
32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,800
He's up there having a look at it.
33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,496
And we're only like,
what, 400 and change
34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,880
away from hitting our goal?
35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,136
So we'll just have to keep
trying to babysit it through
36
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,696
the season and then figure out a plan.
37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,536
Yeah.
38
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,296
On the plus side, gold has
another record high today.
39
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,536
- That's awesome.
- It's nuts.
40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,600
It's totally crazy.
41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,416
But yeah, let's try to
keep that thing banging
42
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,416
if you don't mind.
43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,416
All right, we'll go have a look.
44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,440
Thanks, man.
45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Only two years old, wash plant
Roxanne already has cracks in
46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,896
its structural tubes.
47
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,296
If not fixed, they could break
apart and damage the plant,
48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,160
putting it out of action
for the rest of the season.
49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,496
How's it going, buddy?
50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,936
So this whole cross
tube here is compromised.
51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,800
We'd be looking at maybe two
days downtime to replace this
52
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:54,800
tube here and that tube there.
53
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,360
There's no way Parker's
gonna let us turn this wash plant
54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,016
off for any length of time,
so probably just pop those
55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,056
screens out, weld her
up the best you can.
56
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Hopefully it's got enough
life left in it to get to
57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,416
- the end here.
- Yeah.
58
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,840
If you look at the gold prices
right now, every one of these
59
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,256
mine bosses has the
same mentality, dude.
60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,416
Crank them up as hard as
you can, get as much material
61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,880
through them to get as much gold.
62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,496
- Yeah, for sure.
- Thanks, buddy.
63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,640
Take care, Mitch.
64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Ok.
65
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,760
That's the guy right
there. The one I'm after.
66
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,200
Let the music begin.
67
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:33,280
I love my job.
68
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,616
This is one of the worst cracks
that I've seen on a plant that
69
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,720
we've actually kept running.
70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,680
Crack just keeps going.
71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Damn it.
72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Are you still in there?
73
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,640
Hey, Matt?
74
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,776
Hey, I've hurt my foot pretty bad.
75
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,600
I'm gonna need some
medical attention here.
76
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Ok, thank you.
77
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,120
You all right up there, buddy?
78
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,280
I'm hanging in there, Matt.
79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,720
Let's see that thing.
80
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,360
- Does that hurt pretty good?
- It hurts beautifully.
81
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,760
Yeah, I thought so.
82
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,656
A 4,000 degree piece of
molten metal flew into Alec's boot,
83
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,120
searing his flesh, causing
second-degree burns.
84
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:56,536
All right, I'm gonna flush it
with this and get this burn
85
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,120
dressing on there.
86
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,920
Definitely clean that out
really well when you get home.
87
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Yeah, it's melted my sock real good.
88
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,720
Put like antiseptic gel on it.
89
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,176
Well, I'll just keep working, I guess.
90
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,880
- Gold star for you, buddy.
- Yeah, right.
91
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,936
- Well...
- Well, that's... happy to help.
92
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,416
Thanks, Matt.
93
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,776
See ya.
94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,280
There's no one else here
to do this or to help me, so...
95
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,640
Just suck it up and keep working.
96
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,416
Foot patched up, Alec gets
back to welding Roxanne,
97
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,760
and with Roxanne back on her feet,
98
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,920
the crew have a fighting chance
99
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,520
of hitting 10,000 ounces
by the end of the week.
100
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,336
All the welding's done.
101
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,280
I'm just reassembling the top deck
102
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:44,800
and get ready to start sluicing here.
103
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Firing up, Roxanne. Here we go.
104
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,640
Let's get sluicing.
105
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,040
How's your foot doing, man?
106
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,376
I don't feel it right now.
107
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,616
Whatever Matt did is really working good.
108
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,616
Well, man, thanks for
being a trooper there and just
109
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,200
patching it up and buckling
down and getting it finished.
110
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,816
What do you think,
man? Will it last a week?
111
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:35,456
That's the million-dollar
question right there.
112
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,360
No warranty, no guarantee,
but fingers crossed.
113
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:41,880
Great job, buddy. We're washing rocks.
114
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,976
Well, here we go.
115
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800
Last bucket of pay of Vegas valley.
116
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,800
We're finally right to the very end here.
117
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,096
We got the last pay out of Vegas valley.
118
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,160
It's not really a good thing.
119
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,256
This is our last chance,
and we got to treat it that way.
120
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,160
It'll be our last chance,
you know, in the Yukon ever.
121
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,136
While Parker chases down
10,000 ounces, Rick ness has
122
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,800
only just edged past 1,000.
123
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,336
His roller coaster ride of a
season has seen him expand
124
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,576
his ground and become
flush with claims.
125
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,816
But red tape and bad luck
have backed him into a corner,
126
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,816
and his weary crew are battling
to reach 1,800 ounces to earn
127
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,880
their bonuses and secure their future.
128
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,096
This has been the coldest
morning we've had so far.
129
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Had to thaw out the runs real
quick before we could fire up.
130
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,150
Once you see that, you
know that winter's coming.
131
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,416
Now, Rick's new Vegas
valley cut has run out of pay
132
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,536
much quicker than he expected.
133
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,376
Not only is the weather
starting to creep in,
134
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,600
but, I mean, our pay pile's dwindling fast,
135
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,280
and it's only a matter of time.
136
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,440
I mean, we're down
to days and weeks now.
137
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,680
With just two weeks left to
get over 700 ounces, Rick is
138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,536
hoping for a massive final
payday from Vegas valley to
139
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,360
take the stress off his
new cut, the last chance.
140
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,920
The easy option right
now would be to pack it up,
141
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,936
you know, lick our wounds, go home,
142
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,040
but now we've got to pivot.
143
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,526
We have to move on.
144
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:35,000
That's why I made the
decision to, you know, open up
145
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,976
this new last chance cut.
146
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,006
I don't think anybody's that
excited about opening up
147
00:08:39,030 --> 00:08:40,416
a new cut this late in the season,
148
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,030
but we need more gold and
that's where it's going to be.
149
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,856
At Duncan creek, Rick wants to
keep following the Vegas valley
150
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,120
pay streak upstream
and plans to move north,
151
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,600
opening the one-acre last chance cut.
152
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,600
Before stripping can begin,
the area must first be drained
153
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,800
by digging a channel to release
the water into the mined-out
154
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,416
Vegas valley.
155
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,056
While it's draining, Rick
will clear a Ridge of trees
156
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,176
and loose rocks to make
the cuts safe to work in.
157
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,320
Finally, Rick's crew must then
dig down 40 feet to hit the top
158
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,280
of the gold-rich pay layer he's
praying will save his season.
159
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,920
And he wants it all done before
160
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,120
the last of his stockpiled pay runs out.
161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,696
- You got a copy there, Bailey?
- Yeah, go ahead, Ricky.
162
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,936
What do you figure there?
163
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,560
Are you ready to cut this water through?
164
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,240
Yeah, I think we should be good to go.
165
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
All right, well, just make
sure you take it easy.
166
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,440
Sounds good.
167
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,816
The water over there,
168
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,256
we got to cut it through
the bank over here.
169
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,976
We're going to slowly
just crack it down there
170
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,936
and let it... Let that water run out
171
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,000
and dry out our new cut.
172
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:08,800
There it goes.
173
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,216
How's she looking, bud?
174
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,720
Looks nice and slow to me. I like it.
175
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,456
All right, well, yeah,
we'll just let it drain for
176
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,160
a bit, and then we'll get back to digging.
177
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:24,560
Sounds good, man.
178
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,320
Vegas valley's done, and it's very late in
179
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,800
the season, but we got another
cut to open up, and we wanna
180
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,080
hit 1,800 ounces, and
this is the first step.
181
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,720
So we're moving on.
182
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,960
To help him on his quest to
open the last chance, Rick hops
183
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,016
into the rebuilt 700.
184
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,440
The 700's been down, you know,
185
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,240
the bulk of the season here.
186
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,856
It was our second biggest excavator.
187
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,576
To have it back now is a
big deal, so we'll be getting
188
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,280
the last chance cut
opened up in no time.
189
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,496
After the 700 broke down
earlier in the year, Rick spent
190
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,696
50 grand on a complete engine
rebuild and can finally put it
191
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,656
to work for the first time this season.
192
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:10,056
These trees are really close to the edge,
193
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,776
right at the top of the last chance cut.
194
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,096
And once I get these trees,
you know, moved back, I'll be
195
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,936
feeling a hell of a lot better
about Bailey being underneath,
196
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,200
that's where the pay is, than
moving closer to the bank.
197
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,160
There they go, wrong way.
198
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,360
I enjoyed that one.
Sent her over the edge.
199
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,696
You feel pretty tough with a
chainsaw knocking trees down,
200
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,696
but that's nothing compared to
201
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,680
knocking trees down
with a 70-ton excavator.
202
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,656
I can't have them falling
down while he's trying
203
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,656
to get some down there.
204
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,200
Hooked a tree.
205
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,720
Damn it. I saw oil squirt, too.
206
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,360
Yeah.
207
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,920
It definitely got a hydraulic leak.
208
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,680
Hey, Ryan. Hey, man.
209
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Can you meet me up by the 700? I...
210
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,320
I hooked a tree with the hydraulic line.
211
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,640
All right, thanks.
212
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:14,760
Damn it.
213
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,200
Just got this thing back running.
214
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,136
Hey, man.
215
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,976
What's up?
216
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,920
It looks like a seal. I
hooked it on a tree line,
217
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,656
and I heard something
hiss, and then I saw some
218
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:35,216
- spray, so...
- At least it's not the hose.
219
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,600
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that needs to be fixed.
220
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Let me grab my glasses.
221
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,880
That's why I hate this.
222
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,160
Just let loose like that.
223
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Stupid bull.
224
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,600
Mechanic Ryan Kent has
been hit in the face with hydraulic
225
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,080
fluid while fixing Rick's 700 excavator.
226
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,176
Sorry, you got hit in the face, man.
227
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,680
That's fine. Let's just get it done.
228
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,160
Yeah, it spit that seal right out.
229
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,760
Yeah, you can see that it's damaged.
230
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,600
It's taking the coupler off
that holds the hydraulic lines
231
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,976
right now.
232
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,496
You can see where the
o-ring actually pushed out.
233
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,176
Might have already
been loose, who knows?
234
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,440
But I know me hitting it
on the tree didn't help it, so.
235
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,240
All right, slide it.
236
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:58,016
So there's your two different seals.
237
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,456
This one's just seen her days.
Pull it out and then we'll just
238
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,320
slide it in.
239
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,656
Just tighten these bolts down
and should be able to get it
240
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,296
right back in action.
241
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,320
Start it up.
242
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,616
Yeah, make sure we're not gonna leak.
243
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,680
Ok.
244
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,400
If it doesn't leak, we're in business.
245
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Looks good.
246
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,256
- Good to go?
- Yeah.
247
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,280
Nice, man.
248
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,480
Got no leaks.
249
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,960
Everything seems back to normal.
250
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,400
We got lucky with this one.
We are back in business.
251
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,456
Tony, do you copy, Tony?
252
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,096
Could you come have a
look at the corner cut with me?
253
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:27,000
Tony beets has already
banked more than $35 million,
254
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,936
and after his bumper 1,000
ounce gold haul last week,
255
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,056
the king of the klondike
is in striking distance
256
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,496
of 10,000 ounces and
edging in front of Parker.
257
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,400
But there's a problem...
258
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,560
This corner cut is almost done.
259
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,336
So we got to figure something out
260
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,600
because we don't want to run out of pay.
261
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,720
Doesn't look like it.
262
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Yeah, well, ok.
263
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,136
On the Indian river, Tony
has opened up more ground
264
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,480
than ever before, and
he's reaped the rewards.
265
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,936
His twin wash plants,
running in the massive
266
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,880
corner cut, have consistently
delivered huge gold weighs.
267
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,520
But now its pay is running out,
and he has to go in search of
268
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,696
another rich spot.
269
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,320
Tony will start his treasure
hunt next to some of
270
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,936
his richest ground of the
year, the early bird cut,
271
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,600
where he's praying the
gold-rich pay continues.
272
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,880
Gravels, a light brown
dirt with small rocks,
273
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,840
are a strong indication
there's good gold here.
274
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,640
And Tony's found some
just six feet below the surface.
275
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,536
To strip the early bird
extension quicker and avoid
276
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,936
shutting down a plant,
Tony brings in his monster
277
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,440
950 excavator, capable
of moving 10 tons of dirt
278
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,160
with every bucket.
279
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,736
And to shift all that dirt
fast, an a40 rock truck
280
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,520
and his new toy, the a50,
with its seven-ton increase
281
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,800
in payload.
282
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,536
Today, Tony got me in
the a50 for the first time.
283
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,736
It's awesome, man.
284
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Like, it just looks so futuristic, you know?
285
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,000
He wants us cut down to
pay by the end of the week.
286
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,576
There's a lot of dirt in
the back of the truck,
287
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,600
like, it's crazy.
288
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,776
Tony's so keen to get the dirt out of here,
289
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,120
he's overloading me.
290
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,760
It's too heavy, like, it was at 66 tons.
291
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:02,480
So, it couldn't dump.
292
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,280
I can't dump. It's too heavy.
293
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,456
Rushing to get his new cut down to pay,
294
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,360
Tony has overfilled
Darian's 50-ton rock truck.
295
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,200
It's too heavy to dump. I can't dump it.
296
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Ok.
297
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,936
He's a smart guy, you
see. He knows all the tricks.
298
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,760
If Tony can get his new cut
stripped and down to pay by
299
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,120
the end of the week,
300
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,560
he'll be back on track
to hit 10,000 ounces.
301
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:42,120
I thought we'd have
10,000 ounces by now.
302
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,520
But...
303
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,480
It's proving to be a bit elusive.
304
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,040
We need to press those wash
plants a hell of a lot harder.
305
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,000
In a herculean effort to get 430 ounces
306
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:00,800
and hit 10,000 by the end of the week,
307
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240
Parker is pushing his
crew and wash plants hard.
308
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,640
With Parker's decision to
309
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,360
run the absolute piss
out of the wash plants
310
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,296
so we can hit our gold total,
311
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,280
I got big red running a little hot.
312
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,760
So it's definitely putting a
lot of stress on the plants
313
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,320
and whatnot, but, you
know, it's not my call.
314
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,760
I'm just here to do my job
and keep Parker happy.
315
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,200
Belt's stuck.
316
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,840
Liam, Alec, you got a copy?
317
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,640
Yeah, go for Liam.
318
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,360
Hey man I'm gonna need
you to come up to big red.
319
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,880
John, what happened?
320
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,720
Radial stacker quit on me, buddy.
321
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,920
It looks like we got a
super slimy belt here.
322
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,760
It gives no friction to
the belt, so when it makes
323
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,000
its way up to the head drum,
324
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:29,920
the head drum will just spin there.
325
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,080
Why we're getting so much
mud on the inside of the conveyor?
326
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,176
Maybe it's just not coming in far enough.
327
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,456
Yeah.
328
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,840
We need a bit more overlap,
like, from this head drum into
329
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,772
this rock box so the material
doesn't stack up here.
330
00:23:44,796 --> 00:23:45,216
Yeah.
331
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,016
This hopper is buried
in material left and right.
332
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,056
So, what do you think?
333
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,920
We gotta move the radial stacker back?
334
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,680
Yeah, we have hydraulics on this.
335
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,920
I can just run the hydraulics
a bit and sort of like
336
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,256
inchworm it back a bit.
337
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,000
How do you inchworm a radial stacker?
338
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:03,096
The stacker is gonna have
to be up in the air and then,
339
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:06,216
as long as the axle end which
is usually planted with those
340
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,133
power wheels, was free
to come towards this plate...
341
00:24:11,157 --> 00:24:11,976
Right.
342
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,376
The radial stacker would
effectively move backwards.
343
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,456
And now it's top-heavy and unsettled.
344
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,336
If he wants to roll away
with the conveyor up like that,
345
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,336
like, who's to say it's
not going to fall over, too?
346
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,440
It's definitely risky.
347
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,480
Paydirt from big red's hopper
conveyor is getting under
348
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,920
the wash plant's radial stacker
349
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,080
and coating the inside of its belt,
350
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,896
which is then traveling up to
the drive pulley's head drum,
351
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,680
making it slip, stopping pay
from being fed into the plant.
352
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,176
Moving the hopper feeder's
conveyor forward would solve
353
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,040
the problem, but it would
require time and an excavator
354
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,840
they don't have.
355
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:57,056
Alec's quick but risky fix
is to inch the 120-foot radial
356
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,336
stacker back by three inches
so it sits further underneath
357
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:04,560
the feeder conveyor,
stopping the pay getting
358
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,296
under the belt.
359
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,736
First, he'll raise the top
end of the radial stacker up
360
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,960
and use its weight to generate
down force onto the axle.
361
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,600
Then, by lifting the axle's
362
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,616
gull wing brake wheels off the ground,
363
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,080
he hopes to inch the
stacker back towards
364
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,880
the feeder conveyor.
365
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,280
But if he loses control,
it could topple over
366
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,880
and cause a disaster.
367
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,520
Have you ever done this before?
368
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,280
This is completely experimental.
369
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Seems like the only option we got.
370
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,096
- Let's give it a go.
- See what happens.
371
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:40,120
All right.
372
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,416
Let's call that our line
in the sand there, yeah.
373
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,536
If goes south, well, it
was nice knowing you.
374
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,040
- Yeah, you too, buddy.
- All righty.
375
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,216
I'm pulling up the wheels here, so maybe
376
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,320
stand back a little bit.
377
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,656
It's a little nerve-racking
as soon as he lifts those
378
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,120
gull wings up,
379
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,696
there could be a possibility
where it tips completely over,
380
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,880
so we're putting our
prayers to the gods right now.
381
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,280
Ok, that's off.
382
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,720
Other side's also off.
383
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Ok, now the exciting part.
384
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,440
My god. It's moving so much.
385
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,416
I'm raising up the radial
stacker now with the gull wings
386
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,080
off the ground.
387
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,496
And these wheels are moving
slowly, which is letting me
388
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,080
know that we are indeed
tracking our progress.
389
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,976
My heart's in my throat right
now, watching this thing move
390
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,840
back and forth, knowing
that it could topple over.
391
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Got like half an inch.
392
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,216
All right, we've got our height.
393
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,816
Then I'm going to lower
the stacker, which should
394
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,880
increase the distance.
395
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,800
That's good.
396
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,920
Gull wings back on the ground here.
397
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,680
As for a level side to side,
you figure we're pretty good?
398
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,936
It looks pretty good to me.
399
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,336
Ok, yeah, we got the weight
back on the stabilizer legs.
400
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:25,640
I can roll these duallys, so
I'm just gonna go say hi to
401
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,760
brother John and see if we've
moved the amount we need to.
402
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,360
What did we end up getting, John?
403
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,520
Yeah, three, three and a half.
404
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,296
As long as the material
doesn't pile up here,
405
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,560
it shouldn't get into the belt,
406
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,056
shouldn't with stuff up there.
407
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,216
- Yep.
- So let's fire up.
408
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,080
- Nice job, guys.
- Great job.
409
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,200
Whoo!
410
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,040
Throw the stacker.
411
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,520
Let's get it.
412
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,760
Whoo!
413
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,080
It's looking a lot better for
where the material's landing.
414
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,040
- The plan has helped a lot.
- Are we winning?
415
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,856
It looks like it's running really good.
416
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:17,920
Nice.
417
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,280
We got big red running again.
418
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,496
Everything's running smooth,
and now the main focus is to
419
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,320
keep the wash plants running
and hit our 10,000-ounce goal.
420
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,320
That's a lot of water, isn't it?
421
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,656
Determined to reach
10,000 ounces this week,
422
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,080
Tony is racing to get down to pay
423
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,760
in an extension to the early bird cut.
424
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,296
But his stripping crew have
hit groundwater, flooding the cut
425
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,840
and making it unmineable.
426
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,736
Well, do we pump it, or ditch it there?
427
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,600
Ok.
428
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,920
To drain the flooded cut,
Tony will dig a ditch through
429
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,080
the road, which lies
between his new extension
430
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,360
and an already mined-out
section of the early bird cut.
431
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Then, install a culvert
and pump that will drain
432
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,560
flood water from the
new cut into the old cut.
433
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,016
Finally, rebuild the road
and get his plan to hit pay dirt
434
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440
by the end of the week back on track.
435
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,840
So, what our man
Shawn is doing here now
436
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,320
is just a little bit of water
maintenance that we got going
437
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,720
on over here. You
know how new guys are.
438
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,880
You got to test them out.
439
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,680
He looks to be doing just fine to me.
440
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,496
It's my first day working for Tony beets
441
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,600
out in the Yukon,
442
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,400
and very first time ever gold mining.
443
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,760
Still a bit nervous,
but we're getting there.
444
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,976
If you don't have tough
skin, you're not ready
445
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,040
for this industry.
446
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,360
Shawn, Shawn, Shawn, Shawn, stop.
447
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:47,880
Look at me.
448
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,040
Shut her down for a minute.
449
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Holy, what a mess.
450
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,560
Full of dirt.
451
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,136
You got to be careful
digging it out of here.
452
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,720
You don't rip your electrical apart.
453
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,760
It's not good.
454
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,080
Shawn, you just leave this here.
455
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,800
Go get that 349, and you
can just keep ditching with that,
456
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,640
and then we can get this machine fixed.
457
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:15,920
Sounds good.
458
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,616
Operator error right there.
459
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,936
You should have been able
to see it in the mirror here.
460
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,096
Idiot.
461
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,096
Every minute of downtime is
no good because it all equates
462
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,480
to lost gold.
463
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,400
This gonna drop.
464
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,160
There she goes.
465
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,616
Shawn's in the 349.
466
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,080
Hopefully he doesn't that up at all.
467
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,280
Here's Tony.
468
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,160
That panel's off the 700.
469
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,680
I'll get out and talk to you.
470
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,400
So that panel's off the 700.
471
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,536
That Shawn guy.
472
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:13,760
Yeah.
473
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,880
Yeah.
474
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,376
Yes, sir.
475
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,720
Beep-beep!
476
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:28,496
After sending rookie operator
Shawn home, Tony takes over
477
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,080
in the 349 to finish the
ditch and install the culvert.
478
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,560
Do you want me to grab that pump?
479
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:14,920
Ok.
480
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:26,080
In just 90 minutes, Tony
has got his new cut drying out,
481
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,080
and he's back in the
chase to catch Parker.
482
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,376
Well, it's definitely a big
race here, trying to get down
483
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,200
to that pay as quick as we
can, keep that plant running.
484
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,720
When the plant shuts down,
you know, completely freeze,
485
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,080
and we won't be able
to fire up the plant again.
486
00:34:08,190 --> 00:34:11,710
Rick and his crew are battling
to hit pay in their new cut,
487
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,336
the last chance,
before the stockpile from
488
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,686
Vegas valley runs out, and
they are forced to shut down
489
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:19,296
monster red.
490
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,280
Yeah, looks like we got
a scoop or two left here.
491
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,960
It's not good.
492
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,416
The pay pile dwindling pretty quick here.
493
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,150
I don't even know if it's a pile anymore.
494
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,120
Bailey, you got a copy?
495
00:34:36,230 --> 00:34:38,296
Go ahead for Bailey.
496
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,080
Hey, we're almost, -
497
00:34:40,190 --> 00:34:41,496
we're getting pretty low on pay here.
498
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,056
You got any kind of
time frame when you think
499
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,680
you're going to get any up to the plant?
500
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,320
Well, I don't know how
low it is, but it's gonna be
501
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,800
a couple of days on my end
before I can send anything.
502
00:34:54,670 --> 00:34:55,840
We don't got a couple of days
503
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,040
left up here... we'll end
up having to shut it down.
504
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:01,056
Yeah, if that's it,
505
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,600
you know, nothing that we can do here.
506
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,760
Here we go. Last bucket of
pay going to the plant now.
507
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,720
That's it. That's all we got.
508
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,360
You shut it down now,
there's nothing else to run.
509
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,256
Shut it down today
and hopefully it's not for
510
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,056
the last time this season.
511
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,240
If freezing winter
temperatures arrive before
512
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,616
they hit pay in the last chance,
513
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,896
monster red will be too frozen to fire up,
514
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,160
putting even more pressure
on this week's gold weigh.
515
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,296
It's always impossible to tell
just when we're pulling mats,
516
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,960
how good it's gonna be.
We need it to be great.
517
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,320
So fingers crossed, we...
518
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,680
We can find greatness
to save this season.
519
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,056
Well, Bailey's still a
couple days away from pay.
520
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,376
If the weather decides to
change and then freeze up,
521
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,440
we're gonna be in trouble.
522
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,440
We get a couple more
good cleanups, and we're set.
523
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,880
I mean, the gold is really good right now.
524
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,416
We'll hit 1,800 to get out of
here with these guys getting
525
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,656
what they earned, and
us coming back next year.
526
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,936
Hopefully, we get a few more
good days and we get to run
527
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:28,960
again, but who knows?
528
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,760
- Hi.
- Hey, Rick, buddy.
529
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,760
- Yo.
- Hey.
530
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,000
Holy, Rick, that looks like a lot of gold.
531
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,936
Yeah, so that's the last of the gold
532
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,816
from Vegas valley, though.
533
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,016
It's a shame we don't have any more,
534
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,816
but that's where we're at.
535
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,080
It'd be easy to go home, but, you know,
536
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,656
we'd be next year.
537
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,696
Your bonuses and the future
of this company, that's basically
538
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:08,616
what we're fighting for right now.
539
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,656
All right, let's weigh some gold.
540
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,320
- Find out how we did.
- Let's do it.
541
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:18,760
Last week, Rick and his
crew pulled 430 ounces of gold,
542
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,296
their biggest haul ever.
543
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,600
But they are still more than
700 ounces short of the 1,800
544
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:31,056
Rick needs to pay their bonus
and secure his mining future.
545
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,800
Ready?
546
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,456
Well, 200.
547
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,240
- Yeah.
- Nice.
548
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,440
And we'll see what we add to that.
549
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,896
Here she comes. Ready?
550
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:43,920
Ok.
551
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:54,720
10, 20, 30, 35, 50, 58,
59, 69, 80, 90, 97, 98,
552
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,760
102.27.
553
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,016
Nice.
554
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,216
- Awesome.
- 302.27.
555
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:06,216
302.27. Yep.
556
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:07,240
Nice.
557
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,176
- Nice number.
- Sweet.
558
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,120
Worth $1,148,000.
559
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:18,720
So what's that? That
puts us at 1,379.65.
560
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,896
- Making up ground quick.
- Yeah.
561
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,936
Rick needs 420 more
ounces to hit 1,800
562
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,936
and send everyone home with gold.
563
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,600
But he still hasn't hit
pay in the last chance cut.
564
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:33,816
I mean, weather's changing.
565
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:34,936
Yeah.
566
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,936
We're down right now, not running.
567
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,536
You shut it down, you
might never start it back up.
568
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,240
- Yeah.
- Next week, this could be snow.
569
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:40,574
Yeah.
570
00:38:40,598 --> 00:38:42,336
It's the challenges at
the end of the year, man.
571
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,480
Yeah.
572
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,016
Honestly, all we need is a
little luck with the weather,
573
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,696
because I know you can
get to the bottom of that cut.
574
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:48,216
- I know we can get that pay run.
- Yeah.
575
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,040
We just need a bit of time.
576
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,480
Well, I say we cheers to Bailey.
577
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,096
- Hell yeah.
- To Bailey, yeah...
578
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,720
- It's all on you.
- Thanks, guys.
579
00:38:58,840 --> 00:38:59,840
Thanks, guys.
580
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,216
Well, that's another good gold weigh.
581
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:05,560
I mean, when we get the
plant running, we make up
582
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,400
ground quick. You
know, it's good ground.
583
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,960
We just have to fight hard
to get to it, and right now
584
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,400
it's all in the last chance cut.
585
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,320
Hello.
586
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,536
- Hi.
- Hello.
587
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,096
How are you guys?
588
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:34,840
That's a huge ass coffee cup.
589
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,176
The corner cut's getting
pretty big, but it's looking
590
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,216
- a little empty.
- Yeah, it does.
591
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:43,720
We are scratching the last bit out of it.
592
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,056
How's things going on the hill?
593
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,520
Harald literally is, like, no headache.
594
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,920
When I go through that
thing, it's like, you lift up
595
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,456
the hydraulic riffle, and you just see
596
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,976
- gold everywhere.
- Nothing wrong with that.
597
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,976
Trommel's been
running 24/7. That plant...
598
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,720
- Just eats through it?
- Eats it.
599
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,440
It's called the trom-nom-nom-nel.
600
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,336
Hey, Monica, should
we weigh some gold?
601
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,280
Yes. Who wants to start counting?
602
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,656
The beets family need
more than 700 ounces
603
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,616
to reach 10,000.
604
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,816
So, this is sluice-a-lot.
605
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:27,840
Ok.
606
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,536
Sluice-a-lot has been
running the last of the pay
607
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:35,680
in the corner cut.
608
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:43,800
100, 130, 140, 150, 180, 190, 192.42.
609
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,376
It's a little bit less than the last time.
610
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,560
How come?
611
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,840
So this is for find-a-lot.
612
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,496
All right.
613
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,736
Find-a-lot has also been
churning through the remaining
614
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,256
corner cut pay.
615
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:14,280
70, 80, 90, 110, 120,
140, 160, 180, 182.06.
616
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:24,840
Same stuff, same cut.
617
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,040
Tony's twin plants at
Indian river bring his total
618
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,840
to just over 9,640 ounces.
619
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,096
Well, that was all the Indian river gold.
620
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,240
It's time for hill gold.
621
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,496
10, 20, 30...
622
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,000
Harald has been running
pay from the hester cut.
623
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,960
100, 120, 132.6.
624
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,776
Less gold than last time.
625
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,656
We might have just ran into a patch.
626
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,616
It might end up just getting
diluted because we're running
627
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,216
through whatever is there.
628
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:08,080
With three of his wash
plants delivering less gold
629
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,096
than last week, Tony is still
630
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,560
more than 200 ounces short of 10,000.
631
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,520
- This is from the trommel?
- Yep.
632
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,360
Nice.
633
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,336
All right, Mike, can you see?
634
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,360
Yeah, go for it.
635
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:38,240
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,
636
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:45,360
150, 160, 200, 220,
230, 240, 250, 260...
637
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:51,800
280, 290, 3, 310, 330,
340, 350, 370, 380, 390,
638
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,520
400, 410, 420, 430.
639
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,440
Prr-sch!
640
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:08,040
The beets family passed 10,000
ounces for the first time ever,
641
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:16,160
with a total of 10,212,
worth over $38,800,000.
642
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,896
Yeah, that's a pretty big thing.
643
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,056
That's a lot of money.
644
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,560
Yeah, I've been running 24/7, man.
645
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:39,840
So, we did over 10,000 ounces.
646
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,016
We've never done so much in a season.
647
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,240
Yeah.
648
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,320
Ok.
649
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,640
I'ts not a bad summer?
650
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:09,560
What up?
651
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,216
I'm not saying it was a rough day,
652
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:13,560
but that's her second cup.
653
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,056
Parker and his crew have
produced more than 9,500 ounces
654
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:25,256
of gold this season
and need just over 430
655
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,160
to hit his 10,000-ounce goal.
656
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,496
Man, we've thrown a lot of
rocks at those plants this year.
657
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,776
It's getting rough out there
658
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,160
trying to keep those plants going.
659
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,960
We found some big cracks
in Roxanne this week.
660
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,416
It shows down here when
661
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,176
you guys have problems out there.
662
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:41,960
It's a week, is what you're saying?
663
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,056
If we don't hit our 10,000-ounce goal,
664
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,416
it's because the plant breakdowns.
665
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,240
I know you guys have put a
lot of dirt through them, so there
666
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,720
is going to be wear and tear.
Just got to keep them going.
667
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,096
We're running out of time.
668
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,816
We're running out of time real quick.
669
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,736
Yeah, it's starting to get pretty cold?
670
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,936
Yeah.
671
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,496
This, I think, would be
the key week if we don't get
672
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:06,800
some good numbers.
673
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,520
So we can throw some gold
on the scale and see how we did.
674
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,960
- Yeah, let's do it.
- All right.
675
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,160
We got the bridge cut.
676
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:16,600
Here we go.
677
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,680
Wash plant Bob has been
averaging 147 ounces a week
678
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,216
in the bridge cut.
679
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:30,656
120, 127.35.
680
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,136
Not bad. Ok, Mitchell.
681
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,656
Let's see what Roxanne can add to it.
682
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,560
We got 40... Roxanne has
been sluicing pay from pit 2
683
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,136
at Parker's Indian river claim.
684
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,816
Come on, keep going.
685
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:49,376
120, 133.9.
686
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,056
- Nice.
- There you go.
687
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,376
So what are we looking for here?
688
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,880
We need a little over,
what, 200 to hit our target?
689
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,256
- 200, yeah.
- Yeah.
690
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,856
So this is the golden mile.
We got a couple of them here.
691
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,120
- Ready?
- Yeah.
692
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:04,880
See how goose and big red did.
693
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:11,096
Got 40, 80, 120, 130, 140.
694
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,720
Don't slow down, doumitt.
695
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,160
There we go, 200!
696
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,736
Sick.
697
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,416
220, 258.15.
698
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,760
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
699
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,176
That's awesome.
700
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,920
- Yeah.
- Good job, guys.
701
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:32,056
For the first time ever,
702
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:36,320
Parker has hit 10,000
ounces in a season,
703
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:43,536
worth an incredible $38,341,000.
704
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,376
- Good job, tat.
- Thank you.
705
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,896
Yeah, big.
706
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,320
I was rinsing the tank
from the golden goose,
707
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,376
I found the weirdest thing.
708
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,616
The goose laid its first egg, you guys.
709
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,376
Exactly one ounce.
710
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,416
There we go.
711
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,616
We got our golden egg.
712
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,016
We're at 259.15.
713
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,496
That's cool. That's actually hilarious.
714
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,016
Nice.
715
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:14,296
Last week we had 627.25 ounces.
716
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,056
This week, 520.4.
717
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,200
For a season total of...
718
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,576
10,089.85 ounces.
719
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:26,800
- Sick.
- Whoo!
720
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,640
- We did it.
- Good job, guys.
721
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,160
And, you know, we've
got a little bit of time left in
722
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,816
the season, so I think we
should just keep sluicing.
723
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,256
And, you know, we had a
10,000-ounce goal last year,
724
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,056
too, and didn't hit it, so
let's make up for a little
725
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,840
lost time. Keep at her.
726
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,880
- But thank you, guys.
- Yeah.
727
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,120
Thank you, man.
728
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:50,760
With just one week to
go, Parker now trails Tony
729
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,400
by 120 ounces.
730
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,000
I do like smashing through
goals, and it's a very cool
731
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,120
milestone for us.
732
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:03,080
So, we'll just keep going
and see what happens.
