Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,199
Everybody would have
every right to be a little
down in the dumps right now.
2
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,199
Usually this part
of the season we've got
3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,679
a few hundred ounces
in the bank,
4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,839
and right now
we're sitting at zero.
5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,359
Five weeks
into the season,
6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,959
Rick Ness is fighting
a battle against time.
7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,199
There's a chance
we won't have
water licenses next year,
8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,159
so we have to get
as much gold out
9
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,000
of the ground as we can,
no matter what.
10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,599
With water
license issues looming,
11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,200
this could be
his last year to mine
Duncan Creek.
12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,799
You know, we don't have
weeks to waste up here,
you know.
13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,239
We just wasted a week
and it's uh, it's my fault.
14
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,360
I ordered the wrong
damn pump.
15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,879
Adding insult
to injury,
16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,839
Rick delivered
a self-inflicted
wound last week.
17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,760
It was weeks
getting that one.
18
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,680
Holy
I screwed that up.
19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,559
When he bought
the wrong pump
20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,759
for Wash plant
Monster Red
21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,040
and returned it to recoup
the $150,000 he spent.
22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,599
I-- I don't know how
I made that mistake,
23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,840
but I guarantee you
I'll never
do that again.
24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,039
We've got to get
the dirt through the box.
25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,199
We got to get
the gold out of it.
26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,280
All we can do right now
is keep our heads down.
Keep charging forward.
27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,880
To get
the ball rolling...
28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,519
Hey, guys.
29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,480
...Rick's
cooked up
a risky plan.
30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,359
We're gonna have to move
our eight inch pump
that's in Rally Valley.
31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,359
That's hopefully got the jam
to run this plant.
32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,799
So I think what
we're gonna have to do
33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,359
is we're just gonna have
to pull that one out
and run that right now.
34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,359
Otherwise, we're
sitting around here.
We're not running dirt.
35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,359
Yeah, for sure.
36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,280
All right.
37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,520
On the brink
of bringing in his first
gold this season,
38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,279
Rick decides to gamble.
39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,319
And relocate
the eight inch pump,
40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,559
removing water
from the cut.
41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,599
And use it to run,
pay dirt through wash plants
Monster Red.
42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,159
At the same time,
the crew will continue
to dig, pay dirt,
43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,759
hoping to clean out the cut
44
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,359
before it's flooded
with groundwater.
45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,080
Which would force him
to move the pump back.
46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,599
This pump uh,
has got to work for us.
47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,879
You know,
we're ready to sluice,
48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,319
and you know,
we need to get some gold.
49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,640
in the bank for Rick.
50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,079
We've got
a 30-foot incline
over there,
51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,479
plus 400 ft of hose.
52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,119
If this eight inch
don't put out the pressure
53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,959
for Monster Red,
then we got nothing.
54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,319
Oh, yeah, perfect.
55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,920
I think we're
all sick of waiting.
56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,719
You about
up there, Kyle?
57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,199
Right here. Copy.
58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,600
How does it look
coming out the bypass?
59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,480
We got some
water here.
60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Holy [bleep] Dude,
are we gonna run pay today?
61
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,839
That water's flow good.
We're ready to go.
62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Let's go fire
this thing up.
63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,040
- Are you ready?
- Let's go!
64
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,560
This is our first bucket
of pay going in.
65
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,120
That thing's
looking good.
66
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,440
Hey, stop!
67
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:05,959
Kill it.
68
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,679
When you get up there,
there's that much of the
69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,080
screen deck on that side,
not even being touched.
70
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,400
You see what I mean?
71
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,720
Ryan has spotted
an issue with the spray bars,
72
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,920
For the love of
73
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,919
We need to fix this.
74
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,679
We have to. Yeah
75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,560
I'm gonna do it.
76
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,639
All we're doing
is wasting gold,
77
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,199
and it's just going off
into the tailings
right now with no water
78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,599
touching this side
and washing any
of the rocks, so.
79
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,879
Instead of getting
75% of the mat.
80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,840
We want 100% of the mat.
81
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,439
I'm thinking
if we can connect
82
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,279
all four of these
together on the outside,
83
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,239
and it's a constant flow
that instead of that water
84
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,879
coming at an angle,
now you've got back pressure
85
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,799
and that water will shoot
straight [bleep] down.
86
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,159
So what we'll do
is we're going to go
get two 90's and two T's
87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,559
And we can make that work.
88
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,399
Okay. You're gonna
connect them all together.
89
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,919
Yeah. We're gonna
connect them all together.
90
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,359
So they've
got the same flow.
91
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,760
Monster Red
is fed paydirt by a conveyor
into the pre wash.
92
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,440
The rich gravel then
travel along the shaker
deck screens.
93
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,519
But the spray bars
on one side
94
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,639
don't have enough pressure
to wash the pay properly.
95
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,440
And gold is being lost,
stuck to waste tailings
96
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,599
Ryan will use tea pipes
and new lines
97
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,319
to link all the spray
bars together.
98
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,159
So that the water
pumped in
99
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,359
circulates throughout
the system,
100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,839
builds up pressure
101
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,999
and is forced out
of the spray nozzles.
102
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,639
And a consistent flow
103
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,199
across the full length
of the screen.
104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,199
Cleaning all the pay
completely.
105
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,039
All right, we're gonna
get the
installed real quick.
106
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,920
Cool.
107
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,639
Hand me
the next one T.
108
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,719
That way, all the water
pressure equalizes
109
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,239
instead of it just
coming one direction.
110
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,520
And we are soaking
everything over here.
111
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,799
So, yep.
Got everything connected.
112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,280
Fire it up. Let's see
what she does.
113
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,560
Here it comes.
114
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Yeah!
115
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,440
That looks
so much better.
116
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,360
A hundred times better.
117
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,239
Obviously, the key to the game
here is to wash all the rock,
118
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,680
wash all the dirt
and catch all the gold.
119
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,280
For the first time
this season,
120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Monster Red's washing paydirt
at 250 yards an hour,
121
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,600
and Rick could finally bank
his first gold of the season.
122
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,839
All right,
guys, well...
123
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,759
Like uh-- Like people
like the Christmas ships
124
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,399
when they start sailing,
I was like chuck a beer
at the plant
125
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,839
when we started
going for the year.
126
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:00,920
Here we go.
127
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,639
Bam!
128
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,879
Now, that was
a beer I wasted.
129
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,639
Sorry, Kyle.
130
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Well, let's get some
gold, boys.
131
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,119
Five weeks
into his season,
132
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,319
Tony Beats is ahead
of the game.
133
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,439
He's already mined
one 1105 ounces of gold.
134
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,840
From Indian River
worth $2.7 million dollars.
135
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,399
To hit his
seasoned target,
136
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,999
Tony has divided his family
across his mining empire
137
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
to open up as much
ground as possible.
138
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,799
At Paradise Hill,
139
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,599
Tony's youngest son, Mike,
and daughter, Monica
140
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,519
are extending the 18-acre
super pit by seven acres.
141
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,320
And building a stockpile
ready to sluice.
142
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,639
Tony's nephew
and new protege cousin Mike,
143
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,599
is foreman at Indian River,
144
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,959
where he oversees
Sluicealot.
145
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,240
Currently, Tony only
running wash plants.
146
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Well, that cut
looks done.
147
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,479
All right. Yeah.
148
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,839
Yeah. That's the plan.
149
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,120
See you later.
150
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,359
Cousin Mike
has only been
Foreman for five weeks
151
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,279
but has already
mined out half
152
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,760
of Tony's 10-acre
comeback cut.
153
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,439
Now he's being tasked
with moving Sluicealot
154
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,279
to the other end
of the cut
155
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,080
closer to the last
five acres of pay.
156
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,479
Tony doesn't like
to admit it,
157
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,959
but everybody
is getting older,
158
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,119
running up and down
between two mines.
159
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,079
That's very hard.
160
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,959
And so it's
good for Tony
161
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,759
to have someone
he can trust and rely on
162
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,760
to look after things
when he's not there.
163
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,359
What are we doing?
164
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,039
So we made a new path
close to the dreads
on the airstrip.
165
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,319
And, yeah, I'll hook up
the dozer and drag it over,
166
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,919
so we're going straight
through the cut.
167
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,239
- Perfect.
- We build a ramp
on the end of the cut.
168
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,759
- Yup.
- It's a little steep.
169
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,959
Let's just [bleep] hook
this thing up
and get it over there.
170
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,400
- Yeah, let's do it.
- Okay
171
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,679
Cousin Mike's
taking a risk
172
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:10,759
only Tony
himself would take.
173
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,999
Rather than use
the mile long service road,
174
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,079
he will drag Tony's
$800,000 wash plant
175
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,879
down a shorter
2000 foot route.
176
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,520
Across the comeback cut.
177
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,639
This dicey off road move
should save time
178
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,239
but requires
careful navigation
179
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,239
through difficult terrain.
180
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,679
Then, up an access ramp,
with a 20 degree gradient
181
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,960
until the plant
reaches its final spot.
182
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,360
There's rain
and hail
183
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,840
and it's a
disaster outside.
184
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,959
The crew
attach a winch cable
185
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,239
from the 45-ton
wash plant
186
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,320
to Cousin Mike's
500 hp D10 dozer.
187
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,600
We can have
a track and follow him.
188
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,679
Your truck better
get [bleep] out of the way
189
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,560
unless it wants to get swiped.
190
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:36,360
Get out of the way!
Get out of the way now!
191
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,680
You guys.
192
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,719
Hopefully,
with this rain,
193
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,519
it doesn't create
like the ground
194
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,720
to be compromised
and too soft.
195
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,799
Come gold mining,
they said.
196
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,160
It'll be fun, they said.
197
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,120
That hill
is definitely soft.
198
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,999
He's getting really
close to the edge.
199
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,040
Once he hits that edge,
there's a big [bleep] drop.
200
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,840
He's getting
really close to the edge.
201
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,839
At Indian River,
202
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,639
cousin Mike is battling
torrential rain
203
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,439
and muddy conditions
in the comeback cut
204
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,680
to drag Tony's only
operational wash plant,
to its new pad.
205
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,079
There's a bit of thunder,
there's a bit of rain.
206
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,199
There's a bit of hail.
207
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,880
We've got some
lightning happening
over there.
208
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,439
A good storm
will lead to a rainbow,
209
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,560
and hopefully the rainbow
will lead to lots of gold.
210
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,480
Sluicealot is good to go.
211
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,720
There's your baby.
212
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Yeah, we're working on it.
213
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,160
Yeah, we'll get her level,
hook up the water.
214
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,400
We're all good.
215
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,039
Fire it up.
216
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,919
Tony's always wanted
the kids to take over
217
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,439
the business down the line.
218
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,159
Unfortunately,
every time he's tried
to do something like that
219
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,279
and take a step back,
220
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,280
he really hasn't
and that has killed
a lot of motivation.
221
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,240
But I do
like the mining
222
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,079
kind of enjoy
a bit of the chaos,
223
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,080
a bit of the rush,
you know, the
"Let's [bleep] do it."
224
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,759
Just not at Tony's place.
225
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,160
And well, now I'm putting
my money where my mouth is.
226
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,239
To step out from
his father Tony's shadow.
227
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,280
Kevin Beets has struck out
on his own.
228
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,279
But even with a helping
hand from Tony,
229
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,520
he's had to pour
most of his life savings
into the new operation.
230
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:03,319
Flew further behind
than I would have liked.
231
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,319
But just going to keep on
plugging away,
232
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,959
and hopefully we'll
get it.
233
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,680
Well, not hopefully,
we're gonna [bleep] get it.
234
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,079
By the end of the week,
I'm really hoping to get pay.
235
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,679
Kevin's been
besieged by equipment failures
236
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,319
and groundwater flooding
his links cut.
237
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,320
Now five weeks in,
he still hasn't seen
an ounce of gold
238
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,479
and is determined to get down
to pay by the end of the week.
239
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,840
So he can hit his
1000 ounce season goal.
240
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,719
I don't know
if I want to say that being
a first year mine boss
241
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,479
was more work
than I expected.
242
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,039
I think it's different
than I expected.
243
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,559
I had really hoped
I'd be able to spend
244
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,439
more time in the office
being able to plan ahead.
245
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,999
But Tony's lack
of regular maintenance
246
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,960
is kind of biting me
in the ass right now.
247
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,239
We don't have enough
spare iron and equipment
248
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,760
for situations
when something happens,
249
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,480
Just down in the cut here,
stripping some ground.
250
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,359
Hopefully, Kevin kind
of finds his footing here
251
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,440
and gets into that
mine boss role
a little bit more.
252
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Three miles
from Tony's Indian River mine
253
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,760
sits Kevin's 44-acre claim
at Scribner Creek,
254
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,679
where he's identified
the 11-acre Lynx cut
255
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,760
as the most likely
to yield the best gold.
256
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,479
So far, Brennan's crew
have ripped open
just three acres of the cut.
257
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,079
But still need
to clear the overburden
in that first section,
258
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,880
down to pay to hit Kevin's
end of the week deadline.
259
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,879
I wouldn't say
his morale's low,
260
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,520
but I mean, you can
definitely tell, like...
261
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,199
Kevin and Brennan
262
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,319
well, they're definitely
you know, a little
stressed about things.
263
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,080
What
something's not
feeling right.
264
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,400
That's strange.
265
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:15,919
What's next?
266
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:16,800
Sick of this
267
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,200
What is this?
268
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,239
Bolts obviously
fell off the inside.
269
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,600
Can't keep this old
running for more than days.
270
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,760
You're on there, Kev?
271
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,039
Go for Kevin.
272
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,879
Hey man,
the D10 finally degraded.
273
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,119
Found a bunch of bolts
have broken off
on the ground here, so.
274
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,959
Uh, [sighs] all right,
I'll see what we can
do to tackle that.
275
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,559
Okay, buddy.
I'll see you shortly.
276
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,159
Now this is the
worst [bleep] time.
277
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,920
We need this dozer out there
ripping and producing
278
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,799
What we tried is to keep
everything rolling.
279
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,439
'Cause we need to get
some ground open up.
280
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,919
It's like every time
we get one step ahead,
281
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,479
we're getting
10 steps back.
282
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,800
and we barely even
started the season this year.
283
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:14,079
The 30-year-old D10
is Kevin's only dozer.
284
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,879
Without it, his plan
to get the links
285
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,000
cut down to pay
grinds to a halt.
286
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,800
So
yeah, this ain't
great.
287
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,400
We've got a bit
of an oil leak,
288
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,839
I need to take out
the engine
289
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,719
so I can get
to the transmission,
290
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,039
so it's essentially
looking like it's going to be
down for a [bleep] while,
291
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,640
and it's pretty
frustrating.
292
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,919
I think D10 is pretty much
dead in the water right now.
293
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,919
Kevin doesn't
have the equipment
to remove the engine,
294
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,760
and a full transmission fix
would cost $60,000.
295
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:03,600
Money he doesn't have
296
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,000
I don't have
another dozer
297
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,439
I can just go grab
and walk over,
298
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,600
so I'm definitely
going to be talking to Tony.
299
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,439
Today is a good day.
300
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,120
Monster Red's running perfect.
301
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,120
For the first time
this season,
302
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,440
Rick's washing
Rally Valley pay dirt
303
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,560
through Monster Red.
304
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,319
We've got 1500 ounces
trying to get this season.
305
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,519
But as long as we stay
steady from here on out,
306
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,840
we're-- we're gonna be
looking real good.
307
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:47,039
At the end
of the day,
308
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,759
we're going to get
as much pay as we can out
309
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,679
and, you know,
not leave anything behind.
310
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,639
Obviously all this water
in this hole
311
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,319
is not going to get
pumped out.
312
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,600
Rick's only pump
313
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,320
is being used to supply
Monster Red with water,
314
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,239
Meanwhile, operator
Bailey Carten
315
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,599
is 200 feet down
in Rally Valley
316
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,480
racing to dig out pay
before it floods
with groundwater.
317
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,280
That's a lot of water.
318
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,400
- The water is not
going to stop.
- No.
319
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,759
All the stuff
that I'm digging out
of this hole right now.
320
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,599
It slightly looks like
bedrock a little bit.
321
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,840
Rick did say there should be
at least another 20 feet down.
322
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,120
It's hard to tell when there
ten feet of water.
323
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:41,360
Rick, can you hear me?
324
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,119
Yeah, I'm right down
the rare bottom
325
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,559
of Rally Valley right now
and right near the Sun Pole.
326
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,319
And it looks like
it's all bedrock now.
327
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Can you come
take a look and figure out
what to do next here?
328
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Rick's been
digging at Rally Valley
for three years.
329
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,559
If Bailey finally
hit bedrock,
330
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,920
he could be on
the richest pay yet.
331
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,440
No,
that's bedrock rim.
332
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,760
It's gotta be.
333
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:12,800
I'm gonna get out
and talk to these guys
about it.
334
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,800
Oh, Boy.
335
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,920
Look at all that
fine gravel.
336
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,319
We're definitely
onto something here.
337
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,280
We found our rim.
338
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,999
I'm very excited.
What I see right there.
339
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,279
I've been waiting
to see bedrock
in this hole.
340
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,039
We've got it right here.
341
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,159
Um, you know,
this is where
the good stuff is.
342
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,599
We're either on
the best gold in this hole
343
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,720
or we're very
close to it.
344
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,720
So that's exciting.
345
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,039
We've got a lot planned
for this season.
346
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,719
But the number one priority
above all else,
347
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,880
was getting to the
bottom of rally.
348
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,719
We're just about there.
349
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,240
We're finally
finding the rim.
350
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,679
Now that
they've hit bedrock,
351
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,639
they need to chase
this layer
352
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,439
along the rest of the cut,
353
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,039
pulling out what could be
354
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,520
the richest pay dirt
they've ever mined.
355
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,399
We've just got to now
follow that bedrock,
356
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,320
and it should show us
the path to the best gold.
357
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,360
Now. That is pretty
cool, though.
358
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,639
There's still
days of digging left
359
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,239
to get all the payout,
360
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,000
and the water
keeps pouring in.
361
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,839
Yeah,
it's definitely stressful
down here a little bit.
362
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,519
You know, we got to deal
with all this water,
363
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,799
but I'm obviously
really excited to see
364
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,159
you know, when we finally
clean out Monster Red
365
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,239
and see what--
What the hell
is in those mats?
366
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,520
You know, I feel like it's--
367
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,640
It's gonna look
really good.
368
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,039
Boss says it's going
pretty good.
369
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,919
So I'm just gonna
go check it out
370
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,960
and see
what it looks like.
371
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,919
What do you say, guys?
Want shut it down?
372
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,919
Rick makes
a quick spot check
of the sluice runs
373
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,000
to see if the pay
has started
to deliver big gold.
374
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,799
I know that there's
good gold down there,
375
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,959
but, you know,
until you see it in the box,
376
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,519
it's always-- it's always
you're always tentative.
377
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,239
You're always nervous.
378
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,399
I'm expecting
to see good things.
379
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,039
But really right now.
I just want to get my eyes on.
380
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,360
It's gonna take
a lot of pressure off.
381
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,039
Find anything yet?
382
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,400
Not yet. I just
walked up here.
383
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Look, here's one guys.
384
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,280
Look at that.
That's a beauty.
385
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,039
Here's another big one.
386
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,279
- Yeah
- Holy,
that's a thick one.
387
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,800
These are easily
some of the biggest
ones we found.
388
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,240
That's the biggest one yet.
389
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,479
Well, that's neat.
390
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,720
That is just neat.
391
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,479
I don't know
about you guys,
392
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,439
but it took this long
to get running.
393
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,879
I knew-- I know that
the gold is in there,
394
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,600
but until you see it,
it solves a lot of problems.
395
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,599
Catch up real quick
on the season.
396
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,999
- Good job. Good job.
- Good job, boys.
397
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:08,880
Good job.
398
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,120
Rick has hit
the jackpot.
399
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,719
Now he is in a race
to get all the gold out
of the ground
400
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,360
before Rallye Valley
floods with water.
401
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,679
That's a hell
of a thing to find.
402
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,599
That's amazing, you know,
that just goes to show you.
403
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,159
We're definitely
in the [bleep] Rally Valley.
404
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,120
All we gotta do
is run the rest of it.
405
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,559
I'm happy
with the wash plant move.
406
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Plus plant is in one piece,
good to wash.
407
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,399
We do want to keep sluicing
because right now
408
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,160
there's only one
plan going out of three.
409
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,679
At the comeback
cousin Mike has successfully
moved
410
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,159
and fired up Tony's only
functioning wash plant
411
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,600
sluicealot and is back
on the gold.
412
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,600
I like
working for Tony.
413
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,159
You know what you get?
414
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,759
You know what you have
and those last 40 years.
415
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,999
He did a lot of hard work,
416
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,519
and he built up this
whole mine from nothing.
417
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,280
So, yeah, that's
pretty impressive.
418
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,159
There's lots
of advantages to moving.
419
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,559
sluicealot you know,
it's a shorter distance
for the rock tracks,
420
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,879
where just trying to be
as efficient as possible.
421
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,199
I'm sitting in the back here
with an excavator
422
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,480
trying to feed the plants
and hopefully she's
nice and rich for us.
423
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,839
This thing
sounds like
424
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,559
Oh, what the
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
425
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,839
Why the Michael running?
426
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,039
Shut it up.
427
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,279
The screen
made a terrible noise.
428
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,920
You can't run it like this.
or it will destroy itself.
429
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:14,880
So?
430
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,279
We got a big piece
of metal here
431
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,239
that's supposed
to be in here.
432
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Now we've got
a huge gap instead.
433
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,359
So it looks like it started
wearing here in the middle.
434
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,879
And then because
of the vibration,
435
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:32,960
it just broke
the whole impact plate.
436
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,039
We can't run without it.
437
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,679
'Cause, uh, it's gonna just
destroy the bottom deck.
438
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,639
You can see there, actually,
439
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,080
there's huge rocks
on the bottom screens.
440
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,479
And those bottom screens
are only made for the rocks
441
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,359
that fit through
these little holes
442
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,199
that are, what,
two by two inch.
443
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,160
Now, there's a big rock
like this on those
bottom screens.
444
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,480
So, it's not good.
445
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,879
A large rock
has smashed the impact plate
on the first screen deck.
446
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,639
Cousin Mike needs
to replace it quickly
447
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,400
to get up and running again.
448
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:40,999
Those big rocks,
449
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,120
they, uh, did some,
uh, damage.
450
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,039
Broke the whole impact blade.
451
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,400
And there is big rocks
on those bottom screens.
452
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,839
Figure something out
453
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,400
and get it going
as soon as we can.
454
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,199
At Indian River,
455
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,000
a rock has broken
Sluice-A-Lot's screen deck
impact plate...
456
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,320
shutting down Tony's
only working wash plant.
457
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:40,560
All right.
458
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,999
So, we just gotta take
the whole thing out,
459
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,959
just build a new one
a little bit stronger.
460
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,040
Put that back in,
and then be back to sluicing.
461
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,000
The screen deck's
old, busted impact plate
is removed.
462
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,719
Mike then welds two pieces
of inch-thick steel together
463
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,879
to create a new,
stronger plate
464
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,320
that can cope
with the large rocks.
465
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,439
This year is big for me.
466
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,879
This is the first year
I'm in this position.
467
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,559
And I always like
to do a good job.
468
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,599
But especially now,
469
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,040
because I wanna show Tony
that I can do the job.
470
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,119
After just
two hours' downtime,
471
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Sluice-A-Lot
is fired back up again.
472
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,519
So, if Tony's happy,
I'm happy,
473
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,760
and, uh, let's get
some gold...
474
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,680
and make it
to our 5,000-ounce gold.
475
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,479
I gotta go
and talk to Tony
about that D10,
476
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,479
see if we can swap it
477
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,200
or if there's anything else
we can use.
478
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,519
It's super frustrating
that even when I'm away
479
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,959
from working for Tony,
I still have to deal
480
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,080
with his
poorly-maintained equipment.
481
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,839
Three miles away,
at Scribner Creek,
482
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,280
Kevin Beets' season
is falling apart.
483
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,919
The dozer he borrowed
from dad, Tony,
484
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,479
to rip ground is down.
485
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,120
And he needs to replace it
to hit his target of getting
to pay this week.
486
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,119
Hey, Tony.
487
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:39,439
Ugh. Well, I need
to talk about that D10.
488
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,599
Uh-huh.
489
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,280
She kind of, uh, grenaded.
490
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,399
Uh, something in
the transmission.
491
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,280
Pretty much
dead in the water.
492
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:01,840
I need to have
a spare from you.
493
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,159
Back at the Lynx cut...
494
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,079
The dozers are the most
important lifeline out here.
495
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,719
I mean,
we're in frozen ground,
496
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:38,279
and if you're gonna try
and mine gold in the Yukon,
497
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,439
you need a big dozer
498
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,800
to get through this permafrost
as quick as possible.
499
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,360
Oh!
500
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:51,039
No dozer
leaves Brennan no choice
but to try to strip and remove
501
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,120
overburden down to pay
with an excavator.
502
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,119
I'm gonna end up
having to come up
503
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,399
with some sort of idea
to get through this.
504
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,039
Whatever we gotta do
to get by
505
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,079
is what we gotta do
to get by this year.
506
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:03,960
And that's, uh...
507
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,880
I'm feeling the pressure,
let me tell you.
508
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,000
That's brutal.
509
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,040
This is not gonna work out.
510
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,640
I'm gonna have
to come up with a plan.
511
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,839
We are gonna just try
to help out with this,
512
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,519
so we can keep
production in full swing,
513
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,559
'cause otherwise, we're not
gonna get that 1,000 ounce.
514
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,720
Brennan fits
a Devil's Finger to his 460.
515
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,079
A ripper attachment
516
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,560
designed for digging
drainage ditches.
517
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,319
The excavator will need
to do the work of a dozer
518
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,799
if Kevin's crew
is to have any hope
519
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,840
of getting to pay this week.
520
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,039
There it is.
521
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,039
Hey, uh,
Brennan, I think I got
an electrical fire over here.
522
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,999
Got an emergency over there?
What's going on?
523
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,519
Hot electrical smells
and, uh, some smoke.
524
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,520
Are you kidding me?
525
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,439
Nobody, buddy.
526
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,039
Okay,
I'm on my way.
527
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,400
Holy [bleep].
528
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:17,799
Matt Kiefer
is operating Kevin's
529
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,600
biggest dirt mover on-site,
the 700 excavator.
530
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,519
Smelled
some hot wires
531
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,159
and saw some smoke coming out
of this back corner here.
532
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,439
Right on.
533
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,759
So, I reached
over and shut
the master switch off,
534
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,719
and it quit making noises
and quit smoking, so...
535
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,520
- So hard not to even laugh
at this anymore.
- Oh.
536
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,720
Let's go
have a gander.
537
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,639
Oh, yeah. There we go.
538
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,800
The bottom of this
solenoid caught fire.
539
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,360
Hiya.
540
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,199
Yeah, that's interesting.
Must have shorted a hole
in the
541
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,799
plastic housing there.
542
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,439
And then spot
she was on fire
was right here,
543
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,599
where you can see
that the housing has been
544
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,480
a little bit burnt
and/or cracked.
545
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,399
The 700's
starter motor solenoid,
546
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,439
which provides
the initial spark
547
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,199
for firing up the engine,
has blown.
548
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,320
Without it,
the machine won't start.
549
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,039
Kevin's biggest excavator
is now also down.
550
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:24,199
He has no dozer
and no chance of hitting pay.
551
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,439
Ugh! Sadness,
sadness, cry, cry, cry.
552
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,320
Ugh!
553
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,040
Yeah, that's a new one.
554
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,520
Let's see if we got
a spare solenoid.
555
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,799
This is frustrating.
556
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,360
Because, well, this is just
more fuel for the fire.
557
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:56,879
We're making
money right now.
558
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,199
I think Tony will be happy.
559
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,880
With Cousin Mike
running Indian River...
560
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,040
...Tony has more time
to appreciate life.
561
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,199
I've been worried
about that 700, though.
562
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,160
This is definitely
an unexpected problem.
563
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,599
Kevin Beets is struggling
to get down to pay,
564
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,759
and needs to get his 700 fixed
565
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,880
after an electrical fire
knocked it out of action.
566
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,359
Oh, it's been pretty
nonstop, "Oh, fix this thing
so we can run,
567
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,759
fix that thing
so we can run,
568
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,120
fix this thing
so we can run."
569
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:30,879
Starter and solenoid.
570
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,559
Replacement found,
571
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,719
Kevin gets to installing
the new solenoid.
572
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:36,960
And back down we go.
573
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,560
Every time we get
ahead a little bit...
574
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,439
something happens,
and we gotta
redo, redo, redo,
575
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,759
replan, replan, replan.
576
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:57,120
This is the, uh,
replacement solenoid.
577
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,880
Huzzzah.
578
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,720
That locked in.
579
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,079
Okay, man.
580
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,240
And I'm just re-hooking
up everything.
581
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,520
Turn the key
and see what sparks.
582
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,640
I mean,
there's no smoke yet,
so that's a good start.
583
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,719
Thank [bleep].
584
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:22,519
We're good. Huh!
585
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,080
All right,
much [bleep] better.
586
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,959
Definitely did not need
that kind of extra stress
587
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,359
in our life right now.
588
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,600
So, one heart attack down,
let's see how many
more I get today.
589
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,080
Back throwing dirt
with the big girl here.
590
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,039
The, uh, the original plan
is not gonna happen.
591
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,039
It's... We're not even close.
592
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,119
I think
we're gonna end up
missing our deadline
593
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,479
to get through
that cut's pay.
594
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,839
So, yeah, a little bummed out
about that.
595
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,159
Kevin has spent
the week working
596
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,039
more as a mechanic
than a mine boss,
597
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,279
and his mission to hit pay
by the end of the week
598
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,120
has ended in failure.
599
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,079
That 1,000-ounce gold
is pretty important for me.
600
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,599
That is kind of where
we're gonna break even.
601
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,039
So, we really do want
to hit that this year.
602
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,679
And it's really been hard
603
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,839
with all the breakdowns
we've had.
604
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,399
It sucks
'cause as a mine boss,
605
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,359
there are certain things
you just can't control.
606
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,200
And it makes it a lot harder
than it has to be.
607
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,000
Hey, guys,
how are ya?
608
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,800
Whoa!
609
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,239
At Indian River,
610
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:42,599
the Beets family
gather to weigh up
611
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,119
their only working
wash plant's gold.
612
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,559
I'll go sit
over by my mummy.
613
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,319
Yeah, it just...
614
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,720
I got it all lined up,
just putting things in place.
615
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,079
No. He wants
616
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,119
- his favorite cousin.
- Or your
favorite cousin?
617
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,439
Yeah.
618
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,799
He's... he's just
as skillful and a lot
more quiet.
619
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,199
How are you guys doing
in the Indian?
620
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,239
- Well, we're sluicing.
- I don't--
621
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:08,879
Yeah.
622
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,279
We're the only ones
making the money.
623
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,079
I think we should see
how much Sluice-A-Lot
did this time.
624
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,319
- Um--
- How much did
Sluice-A-Lot sluice?
625
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,120
I'm not counting.
626
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,039
- Oh, well--
- Yeah!
627
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,319
Okay. All right.
628
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,879
- Ruby is gonna pour.
- Uh, Ruby is pouring.
629
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,399
Are you ready?
630
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,880
- I am ready.
- Okay.
631
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,519
Tony needs
over 200 ounces a week
632
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,600
to keep on track for his
5,000-ounce season target.
633
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,080
15, 20, 40...
634
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,720
60, 100...
635
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,320
110, 120, 130...
636
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,680
146.10.
637
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,760
Worth over $365,000.
638
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,720
That's not too bad
with the plant being down.
639
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,000
That wasn't
a bad goal today, Tony.
640
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:21,639
Tony's season total
is now 1,250 ounces,
641
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,760
banking him $3.1 million.
642
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,399
So, get the hell out.
643
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,479
See you later.
644
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,880
- Bye.
- Yeah.
645
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,639
โช Four little ducks
are in a room โช
646
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,199
- What's up?
- Jason, Heather.
647
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,039
Rick's brought
his whole crew together
648
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,639
for the first gold weigh
of the season,
649
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,359
including husband
and wife duo,
650
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,079
mine manager, Jason,
and gold recovery specialist,
651
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,480
Heather Folster.
652
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:13,360
Fellas.
653
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,320
What's going on, sir?
654
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,679
Last season,
Rick pulled out 251 ounces
655
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,600
from Rally Valley
in his final gold weigh.
656
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,720
Now, he hopes the bedrock pay
is even richer.
657
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,159
Well, should we weigh up
some gold?
658
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,279
- All right.
- I'm excited.
659
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:35,520
I'm gonna go get it.
660
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,879
Got the old trusty scale.
661
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,880
She's been through a war.
She's been through a war.
662
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,919
Bailey, you gonna count it?
663
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,079
- Yeah.
- Get up there, buddy.
664
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,919
- Get it, Bailey.
- Mmm.
665
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,519
- Ready?
- I'm ready.
666
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,520
Here we go.
667
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,520
10, 20...
668
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,199
60, 70, 80, 90,
669
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:06,720
110, 113, 114, 115.
670
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,320
115.71.
671
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,560
- Yeah.
- It's good for one jar.
672
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,279
There's for sure more.
673
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,559
I don't even know
what you're talking about.
674
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:16,879
'Cause there was nuggets.
675
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:17,879
There's more.
676
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,439
You know,
I like to sandbag you guys.
677
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,760
I do have more.
678
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,359
So, I actually already
weighed this up.
679
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,440
Ooh.
680
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,720
It's beautiful.
You ready?
681
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,239
And it just keeps going.
682
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:43,519
Get up, Buzz. Go look!
683
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:44,439
You haven't even seen it.
684
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,000
Now, that's a pour.
685
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,840
That right there brings us
to 315.71 ounces.
686
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:57,039
Worth over
three-quarters
of a million dollars.
687
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,639
Rick and his crew
have smashed it
out of the park
688
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,120
with one of their best
gold hauls ever.
689
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:04,999
I'll take that all day.
690
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,079
That's [bleep] huge.
That's huge.
691
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,879
That's the biggest
we've ever done.
692
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,439
Can you imagine this
sending through one of
the bank teller boxes and...
693
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,559
Deposit that
in my checking account.
694
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:16,920
Thank you, good sir.
695
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,719
That's just a start,
696
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:22,079
you know what I mean?
That's the first [bleep] gold
weigh out of Rally Valley,
697
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,079
and, uh, we know
there's more down there.
698
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,640
And, uh, I've never put
that much gold
on the table at once.
699
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:30,719
And if we can keep 'em
like this,
700
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:34,079
then 1,500 ounces
is gonna happen [bleep] quick.
701
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,399
- Cheers!
- Yeah, right on.
702
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,359
Cheers. Cheers.
703
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,439
This is the biggest gold...
gold weigh I've ever seen,
704
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,039
so that makes one excited,
705
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,319
and, uh, [bleep] hopefully,
there's a lot more
706
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,239
to come out of Rally Valley.
707
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:49,119
This is seven people
working their balls off
708
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,639
and, uh, and believing that,
709
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,639
you know, things
were gonna turn around,
710
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,359
'cause we had a tough
start to the season.
711
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,799
There's no doubt about that.
712
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,799
But right here, I'm holding on
to almost three-quarters
713
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,159
of a million dollars' worth
of gold.
714
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,039
It's the blood, sweat
and tears of all these guys,
715
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,440
and it's the start
to our season.
