00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:18,284
I've been nervous
about not being able
to salvage the season
3
00:00:18,284 --> 00:00:20,594
because there's so many
things that could go wrong,
4
00:00:20,594 --> 00:00:21,801
that would impact
my entire life.
5
00:00:22,284 --> 00:00:26,767
[Fred over radio]
6
00:00:26,767 --> 00:00:29,560
[Buzz over radio]
7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,456
[narrator] Deep in
the Yukon wilderness,
8
00:00:32,456 --> 00:00:35,801
mine boss Fred Lewis has
been battling the elements,
9
00:00:35,801 --> 00:00:40,077
equipment failures and wash
plant shutdowns all season.
10
00:00:41,422 --> 00:00:44,043
[over radio]
11
00:00:44,801 --> 00:00:47,008
Stefan quit on us, man.
12
00:00:47,008 --> 00:00:50,801
[narrator] Now, he's a man
down after brother-in-arms,
13
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:53,525
Stefan Generally walked
out on the crew.
14
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:56,905
[over radio]
15
00:00:56,905 --> 00:00:59,698
It's tough for me as a friend,
you know, because I really
respect the guy,
16
00:00:59,698 --> 00:01:01,939
but it's really hard to take.
17
00:01:03,663 --> 00:01:07,456
I can't win, man.
I can't find people that
actually understand hard work
18
00:01:07,456 --> 00:01:10,629
and wanna change their lives
at the same time, you know.
19
00:01:12,525 --> 00:01:14,663
[narrator] More than halfway
through the season,
20
00:01:14,663 --> 00:01:20,456
Fred's only banked 72
ounces of gold, well short
of his 500 ounce goal.
21
00:01:23,008 --> 00:01:26,663
And with winter
fast approaching,
if he's to survive,
22
00:01:26,663 --> 00:01:30,318
Fred needs to start
getting big gold
out of the Freedom Cut.
23
00:01:32,043 --> 00:01:36,422
That 500-ounce goal
is kind of getting
harder and harder.
24
00:01:36,422 --> 00:01:40,353
This has been probably one
of the biggest battles of
my life, my team's life.
25
00:01:46,284 --> 00:01:47,974
Fred, I've got something
you're gonna wanna see.
26
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,491
Some pretty
interesting [bleep].
27
00:01:54,491 --> 00:01:55,732
Hey, Fred, man.
28
00:01:57,215 --> 00:01:59,043
Ooh, what's this?
29
00:01:59,043 --> 00:02:00,215
It's a little freaking course.
30
00:02:03,422 --> 00:02:04,525
[narrator] 11 weeks ago,
31
00:02:05,732 --> 00:02:07,456
Oh, wow.
32
00:02:07,456 --> 00:02:11,905
[narrator] Fred discovered
a gold-rich quartz vein
alongside California Creek.
33
00:02:12,939 --> 00:02:15,974
That tells us there's
a vein carrying gold
34
00:02:15,974 --> 00:02:18,043
running up the middle
of our [bleep] plain.
35
00:02:19,111 --> 00:02:22,077
[narrator] Buzz's discovery
in the Freedom Cut
36
00:02:22,077 --> 00:02:25,180
could be the jolt Fred's
been praying for.
37
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:27,284
Dude, we've been chasing this
quartz all [bleep] season,
38
00:02:27,284 --> 00:02:29,732
and I think this is what
we were looking for
the whole time.
39
00:02:29,732 --> 00:02:31,318
There's gold in this rock,
40
00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:34,077
and if there's gold in
the rock, there's
gold in the ground.
41
00:02:34,077 --> 00:02:35,146
Let's just load it all up,
42
00:02:36,767 --> 00:02:37,560
and keep chasing it.
43
00:02:40,387 --> 00:02:43,939
Right now, the name of
the game is to pull as much
pay to the plant as possible,
44
00:02:43,939 --> 00:02:46,732
while chasing that
freaking quartz payload.
45
00:02:49,215 --> 00:02:52,629
With some luck and some hard
work, we can still do this.
46
00:02:54,318 --> 00:02:57,215
We've got the rock chopper
up and running for
the first time in a long time.
47
00:02:57,215 --> 00:02:58,801
We're firing on all cylinders.
48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,939
Hey guys, I've got
a load of pay I'm
dropping off at the plant,
49
00:03:02,939 --> 00:03:04,077
that should keep
you guys running.
50
00:03:04,077 --> 00:03:06,387
Let's keep get that wash
plant up, and get that gold.
51
00:03:15,215 --> 00:03:17,560
- Christopher, Christopher.
- [Christopher] What?
52
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,629
- All right, you ready
to fire the pump up?
- [Christopher] Yes, sir.
53
00:03:20,629 --> 00:03:23,215
- All right,
so pumps coming on.
- [Christopher] Roger that.
54
00:03:29,284 --> 00:03:30,939
[JB over radio]
55
00:03:46,422 --> 00:03:47,939
Turn it off. It didn't work.
56
00:03:48,629 --> 00:03:49,974
What just happened?
57
00:03:49,974 --> 00:03:51,836
[over radio]
58
00:03:55,387 --> 00:03:57,180
Oh, man, one thing
or another, man.
59
00:04:03,146 --> 00:04:05,456
Any time that plant's down,
is uh, you know,
60
00:04:05,456 --> 00:04:09,387
time we're not finding gold,
so we have to figure it out.
61
00:04:11,974 --> 00:04:13,077
[JB makes disgusted noise]
62
00:04:13,077 --> 00:04:15,146
- Another one broke, eh?
- Yep.
63
00:04:15,146 --> 00:04:18,801
Yeah. They're getting
chewed through.
I'm not sure how.
64
00:04:18,801 --> 00:04:21,836
- Is there, like, any way
we can, like, bush fix this?
- No.
65
00:04:21,836 --> 00:04:26,043
And now what's really bad is
we don't have any more.
That's the last one.
66
00:04:26,043 --> 00:04:28,353
First thing I've gotta do
is find belts.
67
00:04:28,353 --> 00:04:31,318
The auto parts in
Dawson were out.
68
00:04:31,318 --> 00:04:35,008
I bought everything they had,
you know, so we're not
getting them locally.
69
00:04:38,905 --> 00:04:44,491
[narrator] The only available
belts are 350 miles away,
in Fairbanks, Alaska.
70
00:04:45,974 --> 00:04:47,905
[JB] I have to go to Alaska
to get these two belts,
71
00:04:47,905 --> 00:04:50,043
it's something I'm not
real happy about.
72
00:04:50,043 --> 00:04:52,215
I mean, it's a long,
long trip.
73
00:04:52,215 --> 00:04:54,491
Six hours, one direction.
74
00:04:54,491 --> 00:04:56,353
Just to pick up
a couple of belts.
75
00:04:56,353 --> 00:04:58,560
But we've gotta have them
if we wanna keep running.
76
00:05:01,043 --> 00:05:04,698
JB's gonna be at least
two days, maybe even three,
to go get these parts.
77
00:05:04,698 --> 00:05:07,284
And that's two or three
days of sluicing
that we're gonna lose.
78
00:05:07,284 --> 00:05:10,146
That's two or three day's
worth of gold we're not
gonna have in our pan.
79
00:05:10,146 --> 00:05:11,284
We gotta get [beep] moving.
80
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:31,801
This is our last season here,
so we're just really trying to
get as many ounces as we can.
81
00:05:34,043 --> 00:05:36,422
Every grain of dirt
right now counts.
82
00:05:40,836 --> 00:05:42,801
We are out of pay
on the Bear Cut.
83
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:45,353
This is the last scoop.
84
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:50,077
Another cut done.
85
00:05:56,801 --> 00:05:58,353
How's it going, Chris?
86
00:05:58,353 --> 00:06:01,456
Hey, Mitchell. Just waiting
for the thing to run out
and we'll shut her down.
87
00:06:01,456 --> 00:06:05,077
Man, the Bear Cut has been
a huge cut, but we're
to the end of it right here.
88
00:06:05,077 --> 00:06:07,491
Yeah, no kidding.
You got through that
pretty quick, man.
89
00:06:07,491 --> 00:06:11,111
- Yeah, so now we gotta get
that Runway Cut opened up.
- How's that coming along?
90
00:06:11,111 --> 00:06:13,491
Ah, we've still got a lot of
overburden on the Runway,
91
00:06:13,491 --> 00:06:16,629
so we don't have any pay dirt
ready for Big Red right now.
92
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:19,939
- We're looking at least
two weeks downtime, minimum.
- Wow.
93
00:06:21,939 --> 00:06:25,146
- That's not good.
- No, not by any means.
94
00:06:32,353 --> 00:06:35,870
[narrator] 28-year-old
Parker Schnabel
is stretched thin,
95
00:06:35,870 --> 00:06:38,629
running two mines
in different countries.
96
00:06:39,836 --> 00:06:42,801
[Parker] The last two weeks
I've been in Alaska.
97
00:06:42,801 --> 00:06:44,836
You know, we had a rough
ten days start up,
98
00:06:44,836 --> 00:06:46,663
and now it's starting
to smooth out.
99
00:06:46,663 --> 00:06:49,698
We've got a plant
running over there.
There's gold coming in.
100
00:06:51,974 --> 00:06:55,491
[narrator] In the Yukon,
his crew are racing to mine
out the massive
101
00:06:55,491 --> 00:07:00,146
air strip claim before
the water license expires
at the end of the season.
102
00:07:02,491 --> 00:07:04,594
[Parker] We have to get
all of this mined this year.
103
00:07:04,594 --> 00:07:07,836
So it's basically
use it or lose it.
104
00:07:07,836 --> 00:07:10,249
And it's important that
we get everything
105
00:07:10,249 --> 00:07:14,836
that we have left to mine
this year stripped and on pay.
106
00:07:14,836 --> 00:07:19,043
Half a million of square feet
of what we have left
is not stripped.
107
00:07:19,043 --> 00:07:22,043
And this is pretty late
in the year to be stripping.
108
00:07:23,387 --> 00:07:25,732
[narrator] Parker's crew
have already mined out
109
00:07:25,732 --> 00:07:29,318
forty eight of his 90 acres
at the airstrip.
110
00:07:29,318 --> 00:07:33,560
The Keyhole, Easy Street,
and Bear Cuts.
111
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,663
Now they're running paydirt
through Sluicifer from
the 18 acre Payback Cut,
112
00:07:38,663 --> 00:07:45,422
and continue to strip the last
and largest of them all.
The 24 acre Runway Cut.
113
00:07:45,422 --> 00:07:49,456
They need to get
at least five acres
down to pay this week,
114
00:07:49,456 --> 00:07:52,043
before they can fire
Big Red back up.
115
00:07:55,456 --> 00:07:58,732
[Parker] So Big Red
will sit until all
the stripping's done.
116
00:07:59,939 --> 00:08:03,560
We really can't afford
the time, but, um,
117
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,801
it's just gonna mean sluicing
later in the year.
118
00:08:07,698 --> 00:08:09,801
[narrator] Down to just
one wash plant,
119
00:08:09,801 --> 00:08:15,215
it's all hands on deck
at the Runway Cut, until
it's completely stripped.
120
00:08:15,215 --> 00:08:17,939
Except for one crew member.
121
00:08:19,353 --> 00:08:21,284
[Tyson] So right now
I'm in the Payback Cut.
122
00:08:21,284 --> 00:08:22,801
You know, there's a lot to do.
123
00:08:22,801 --> 00:08:25,215
And I'm pretty much
over here on my own.
124
00:08:25,215 --> 00:08:28,456
So, trying to keep
the wash plant going.
125
00:08:28,456 --> 00:08:30,939
[narrator] While Sluicifer
plant boss Tyson Lee
126
00:08:30,939 --> 00:08:35,008
digs out Payback Cut pay dirt
in the 750 excavator...
127
00:08:35,008 --> 00:08:37,836
You know, it's just a struggle
trying to keep ahead.
128
00:08:37,836 --> 00:08:43,146
[narrator] Parker in the D-11,
and foreman Mitch Blaschke
in the 700,
129
00:08:43,146 --> 00:08:45,732
strip overburden
in the Runway Cut.
130
00:08:48,905 --> 00:08:51,422
This is probably the most
behind we've ever been,
131
00:08:51,422 --> 00:08:55,077
in opening a cut
and having things ready.
132
00:08:55,077 --> 00:09:00,318
We've got so much on our plate
and you know, here we are just
trying to get through it all,
133
00:09:00,318 --> 00:09:02,077
and trying to do it
before the snow flies.
134
00:09:02,077 --> 00:09:04,353
[hissing noise]
135
00:09:04,353 --> 00:09:08,284
And... what the? Holy [bleep].
136
00:09:10,387 --> 00:09:13,387
Whoa! Whoa! [bleep]
137
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:16,387
There's only one thing
that smells like that,
and that is coolant.
138
00:09:16,387 --> 00:09:18,836
[hissing from engine]
139
00:09:18,836 --> 00:09:20,284
That is not good.
140
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:25,215
Looks like we just blew
our radiator here,
141
00:09:25,215 --> 00:09:27,077
and it's blown right on
the exhaust manifold.
142
00:09:28,663 --> 00:09:29,939
Not what we need right now.
143
00:09:33,111 --> 00:09:34,560
Yo, Taylor,
you got a copy, man?
144
00:09:35,077 --> 00:09:36,456
[over radio]
145
00:09:36,456 --> 00:09:39,767
Hey buddy, you wanna
make your way over to
the seven-hundy here?
146
00:09:39,767 --> 00:09:41,663
It looks like
it lost the radiator.
147
00:09:41,663 --> 00:09:44,318
We've got a whole bunch
of coolant spewing out
right on the exhaust.
148
00:09:44,974 --> 00:09:46,422
[over radio]
149
00:09:46,422 --> 00:09:49,077
I mean, the biggest thing
here is just the lead time
on getting parts.
150
00:09:49,077 --> 00:09:51,180
[over radio]
151
00:09:52,491 --> 00:09:54,939
To lose something like
the radiator in this 700,
152
00:09:54,939 --> 00:09:56,525
when we've got
all this dirt to move,
153
00:09:56,525 --> 00:09:58,767
I need another big
excavator over here.
154
00:09:58,767 --> 00:10:01,215
Um, I'm not sure where
I'm gonna get one of those
from right now.
155
00:10:16,629 --> 00:10:17,456
Hey!
156
00:10:19,767 --> 00:10:23,629
- How's it going, Mitch?
- Oh, we've had better days.
157
00:10:23,629 --> 00:10:26,491
- What's going on?
- Oh, the 700
just blew the rad.
158
00:10:26,491 --> 00:10:28,111
- Oh, really?
- Yeah, like, bad.
159
00:10:28,111 --> 00:10:31,146
The problem is,
we're in the middle of
all that mud right now.
160
00:10:31,146 --> 00:10:33,284
- Yeah.
- And without a big excavator,
161
00:10:33,284 --> 00:10:35,594
there's no way we've got
a fighting chance
of getting through it.
162
00:10:35,594 --> 00:10:38,801
I know you're doing
everything you can
to keep up with Sluicifer,
163
00:10:38,801 --> 00:10:41,146
but, man, we really
need the 750.
164
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:48,698
Well, it sucks, 'cause,
you know, we have, like,
no payout right now.
165
00:10:48,698 --> 00:10:52,387
So, the 750 is kind of key
to this operation right now.
166
00:10:52,387 --> 00:10:54,525
I know, and that's gonna
leave you with a 480.
167
00:10:54,525 --> 00:10:56,905
As soon as Taylor gets
the 700 back up and going,
168
00:10:56,905 --> 00:10:58,905
- you can have this thing back.
- Right.
169
00:10:58,905 --> 00:11:01,146
But, man, for right now,
I hate to do it,
170
00:11:01,146 --> 00:11:04,974
but we've really got no other
option down there but to
repo the old 750 from you.
171
00:11:04,974 --> 00:11:06,077
Right.
172
00:11:09,491 --> 00:11:11,525
I'll get it back to you
as soon as I can.
173
00:11:19,698 --> 00:11:24,180
[narrator] Losing
the 750 leaves Tyson
with just the 480,
174
00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:27,284
reducing the amount of pay
he can send to Sluicifer.
175
00:11:29,905 --> 00:11:32,008
Sadly, I'm gonna have to
turn Sluicifer down.
176
00:11:32,008 --> 00:11:34,905
You know, with only
the 480 digging pay,
177
00:11:34,905 --> 00:11:36,767
we're gonna get to the point
where we're out of pay,
178
00:11:36,767 --> 00:11:38,008
we have nothing to run.
179
00:11:38,008 --> 00:11:41,629
You know, a lower feed rate
means less gold coming in,
180
00:11:41,629 --> 00:11:44,629
but it's better than having
no gold coming in and having
to shut the plant down.
181
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:49,870
[narrator] With Sluicifer
dialed down and Big Red
shut down,
182
00:11:49,870 --> 00:11:54,008
the chances of mining out
all 90 acres are
slimmer than ever.
183
00:11:56,732 --> 00:11:59,422
You've gotta pick your battles
and well, we lost this one.
184
00:12:11,663 --> 00:12:14,594
[Dave Turin] There's
some big changes
ahead for this season.
185
00:12:14,594 --> 00:12:19,146
I'm officially retiring from
mining and um, I'm gonna
try and sell these claims.
186
00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:24,767
[narrator] At Glacier Creek,
Dave Turin is on a mission
187
00:12:24,767 --> 00:12:29,732
to sell his one million dollar
turnkey mining operation.
188
00:12:29,732 --> 00:12:33,111
[Dave] I can't do this
forever. I've been
doing it a long time.
189
00:12:33,111 --> 00:12:36,732
I want to enjoy my grandkids,
my kids, hang out,
190
00:12:36,732 --> 00:12:38,353
do whatever, go camping,
and hunting,
191
00:12:38,353 --> 00:12:39,836
and fishing and stuff.
192
00:12:39,836 --> 00:12:42,422
Hopefully it all works out.
193
00:12:42,422 --> 00:12:47,939
[narrator] Dave hopes to prove
to potential buyers Nathan
Clarke and Jason Sanchez
194
00:12:47,939 --> 00:12:54,146
there's years of mining
and a possible $10 million
of gold in the ground.
195
00:12:54,146 --> 00:12:59,215
Nathan and Jason, myself,
we did a prospect with
The Beatles, found $20 a yard.
196
00:12:59,215 --> 00:13:00,318
That's good ground.
197
00:13:00,318 --> 00:13:02,663
Hopefully it's good enough
for those guys to buy it.
198
00:13:02,663 --> 00:13:05,284
We've set a goal of 30 ounces.
199
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:08,905
If we pull 30 ounces
out of here, it will prove
there's a lot of gold here.
200
00:13:08,905 --> 00:13:10,870
And everybody's
walking out of here
201
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:12,801
with gold in their pockets,
which is a good thing.
202
00:13:13,836 --> 00:13:16,491
So, it's one last hurrah
for Team Turin.
203
00:13:19,629 --> 00:13:22,387
I still can't believe
we're actually gonna
make a run at it.
204
00:13:22,387 --> 00:13:23,801
- I'm excited.
- I'm excited too.
205
00:13:25,146 --> 00:13:27,249
[narrator] Since
the early 1900s,
206
00:13:27,249 --> 00:13:30,491
miners have been flocking to
the area around Glacier Creek
207
00:13:31,491 --> 00:13:34,663
with the dream
of striking it rich.
208
00:13:34,663 --> 00:13:38,318
Over the years, the ground's
delivered a fortune...
209
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:41,732
nearly 150,000 ounces of gold.
210
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:46,698
Today, worth around
250 million dollars.
211
00:13:49,077 --> 00:13:50,525
- [Dave] Morning, guys.
- [Nate] Morning!
212
00:13:50,525 --> 00:13:51,974
[Dave] So here's
what I'm thinking.
213
00:13:51,974 --> 00:13:54,801
Because we don't
have a rock truck,
there's just three of us,
214
00:13:54,801 --> 00:14:00,180
if we, uh, we need to
move this plant, this sluice
closer to the pay.
215
00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:01,077
Yeah, I agree.
216
00:14:01,905 --> 00:14:03,767
[narrator] Last week,
217
00:14:03,767 --> 00:14:05,629
I'll pick the spot, landowner.
218
00:14:05,629 --> 00:14:08,456
Okay. Mine boss.
219
00:14:08,456 --> 00:14:10,732
[laughs]
220
00:14:10,732 --> 00:14:14,146
[narrator] Team Turin punched
three test holes downstream
221
00:14:14,146 --> 00:14:16,111
from last season's
Sunlight Cut.
222
00:14:17,767 --> 00:14:19,077
Twenty dollars,
eighty cents a yard.
223
00:14:20,146 --> 00:14:22,077
I really think we should
fire The Eagle up.
224
00:14:24,491 --> 00:14:31,491
[narrator] Now they plan
to move Dave's $500,000
mobile wash plant, The Eagle,
225
00:14:31,491 --> 00:14:37,422
half a mile downstream
to the best test hole where
they will open up a new cut.
226
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:42,456
[Dave] We're calling it
The Three Amigos Cut.
227
00:14:42,456 --> 00:14:46,353
So why don't you guys
grab the excavator,
start lifting this sluice.
228
00:14:46,353 --> 00:14:49,422
I'll start on all the tailings
so that we can get
this thing up and out of here.
229
00:14:50,318 --> 00:14:51,939
- You good?
- Let's get to it.
230
00:14:58,836 --> 00:15:03,284
What I will miss, for real,
is missing mining
with the guys.
231
00:15:03,284 --> 00:15:04,353
That's the hard part.
232
00:15:05,318 --> 00:15:07,008
See what that'll do.
233
00:15:07,008 --> 00:15:09,801
[Dave] We all want to be
a part of a really good team.
234
00:15:09,801 --> 00:15:10,905
Swinging right.
235
00:15:10,905 --> 00:15:13,663
[Dave] You know, this is
my top team right here.
236
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:17,353
And when you think
about it ending, that's hard.
237
00:15:19,146 --> 00:15:20,905
We all built this together.
238
00:15:21,939 --> 00:15:23,387
Yeah, it's sentimental.
239
00:15:32,180 --> 00:15:34,663
- All right, you're
done with me.
- I'm ready to walk.
240
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:39,180
All right. Let's, uh,
get this over there.
241
00:15:39,180 --> 00:15:41,974
- I'm gonna start
finishing up the pad.
- Okay.
242
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:47,422
[narrator] The 34-ton Eagle
rides on tracks and is driven
by remote control,
243
00:15:47,422 --> 00:15:51,594
making it faster and easier
to move than most wash plants.
244
00:15:52,456 --> 00:15:53,456
Okay, we ready?
245
00:15:54,249 --> 00:15:56,353
[over radio]
246
00:15:57,698 --> 00:15:59,077
Get her walked out of here.
247
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,387
Here we go!
248
00:16:05,353 --> 00:16:08,284
[Jason] Looking good, Nate.
Looking good, buddy.
249
00:16:08,284 --> 00:16:10,215
Man, you act like
you've done this before!
250
00:16:12,939 --> 00:16:18,870
So I gotta make sure to get
the pad ready for The Eagle,
and it's gotta be level.
251
00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:23,525
Hopefully they get that thing
over here, 'cause I'm gonna
be ready here in a little bit.
252
00:16:27,767 --> 00:16:29,801
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, Nate. Whoa. Whoa.
253
00:16:29,801 --> 00:16:33,974
You keep going,
that tube's gonna end up
smacking the ground.
254
00:16:33,974 --> 00:16:35,594
We're only inches above.
255
00:16:38,180 --> 00:16:41,629
Well, the clear problem is,
the blue tube hangs
down too low.
256
00:16:41,629 --> 00:16:44,801
We can't raise it up anymore.
It's raised up all the way.
257
00:16:44,801 --> 00:16:45,939
It's just how the hill is.
258
00:16:48,491 --> 00:16:52,146
All of our material goes
down that pipe, so we
can't damage it at all.
259
00:16:52,146 --> 00:16:53,801
It's the only tube we've got,
260
00:16:53,801 --> 00:16:58,215
so we can't bend it,
damage it, it might
damage the whole Eagle.
261
00:16:58,215 --> 00:17:00,974
[narrator] The vital
10-foot-long tube
262
00:17:00,974 --> 00:17:06,008
feeds screened pay dirt
from the shaker decks
into the sluice runs.
263
00:17:06,008 --> 00:17:09,732
You wanna get some material,
and just add up to the tracks,
so the tracks are going up?
264
00:17:09,732 --> 00:17:13,043
Make it less of a slope,
get the tracks on it,
get the front end up.
265
00:17:13,043 --> 00:17:14,008
We'll be okay.
266
00:17:14,008 --> 00:17:16,215
Dude, do you just
wanna back her up?
267
00:17:16,215 --> 00:17:19,870
I'll get that 980,
and grab us some tails.
268
00:17:25,491 --> 00:17:27,215
[Jason] So what we're
trying to do is
269
00:17:27,215 --> 00:17:30,663
build up a pad here,
that will elevate the tracks
270
00:17:32,111 --> 00:17:33,939
in a manner that will
bring that tube up.
271
00:17:43,353 --> 00:17:45,939
Well, we'll give her a shot
and see what she does.
272
00:17:49,629 --> 00:17:51,974
- You ready?
- All right. Come on, Nate.
273
00:17:58,870 --> 00:18:00,594
Easy. Easy now.
274
00:18:01,905 --> 00:18:03,249
Go ahead and kick her
to the right.
275
00:18:05,043 --> 00:18:07,077
Straight ahead. Let me get
up ahead of you again.
276
00:18:13,836 --> 00:18:17,456
Seems to be going
actually pretty smooth
after we did that material.
277
00:18:20,180 --> 00:18:22,491
Straighten her out.
We're smooth sailing,
now, my man.
278
00:18:27,353 --> 00:18:34,284
The pad looks pretty level.
And I've got a pretty good
slope for the sluice box.
279
00:18:34,284 --> 00:18:36,077
So now it's time
to move The Eagle in.
280
00:18:38,525 --> 00:18:41,491
- [Nate] Try that right there.
- [Jason] That looks
pretty good.
281
00:18:49,111 --> 00:18:52,629
- Do you love it?
- [Nate] Yeah, I like it. Good.
282
00:18:53,629 --> 00:18:56,629
Eagle's set. Sluice box's set.
283
00:18:56,629 --> 00:18:58,836
All we've got left is
to start getting some dirt!
284
00:18:59,629 --> 00:19:01,215
All right, here we go.
285
00:19:03,456 --> 00:19:04,939
[Jason] He started
right back at it.
286
00:19:04,939 --> 00:19:07,870
We're digging, we're
throwing dirt. Pullin' gold.
287
00:19:11,905 --> 00:19:14,180
- [Nate] All right, Dave,
I'm gonna turn it on.
- Okay, turn it on.
288
00:19:16,249 --> 00:19:21,146
[engine starts up]
289
00:19:21,146 --> 00:19:23,353
He's alive, Dave. He's alive!
290
00:19:23,353 --> 00:19:25,422
Let's turn some water on
and run some dirt.
291
00:19:31,077 --> 00:19:35,939
[narrator] Team Turin
are once again running
Alaskan gold-rich pay dirt.
292
00:19:39,318 --> 00:19:43,249
[Dave] I think those
two guys, out of all the guys
I've ever mined with,
293
00:19:43,249 --> 00:19:45,525
they get it. And that's
why they're here.
294
00:19:46,732 --> 00:19:50,111
I've given them an offer
that I don't think they'll get
295
00:19:50,111 --> 00:19:51,939
anywhere else
in their lifetime.
296
00:19:51,939 --> 00:19:54,180
Both of them are ready
for that challenge.
297
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,456
I think right now,
I wanna say we're really,
like, paving the way through.
298
00:20:11,456 --> 00:20:16,353
[narrator] Fred Lewis's
wash plant Sergeant Sluice
is at a standstill,
299
00:20:16,353 --> 00:20:20,594
waiting on a replacement belt
for the shaker deck's motor.
300
00:20:20,594 --> 00:20:25,215
It almost feels like
mowing the lawn
with a pair of scissors.
301
00:20:26,905 --> 00:20:28,456
[Stuart] I know we've had,
kind of, a ton of problems,
302
00:20:28,456 --> 00:20:31,284
but, I mean, every piece
of equipment we get,
303
00:20:31,284 --> 00:20:36,043
you know, we have to put
massive TLC into it
to get it up and running.
304
00:20:38,491 --> 00:20:39,491
[over radio] Hey Fred,
where are you at?
305
00:20:43,111 --> 00:20:43,974
JB, is that you?
306
00:20:45,008 --> 00:20:47,836
Yeah man, I'm back.
I'm coming in hot.
307
00:20:47,836 --> 00:20:49,974
That's freaking record time,
man. Did you get the belts?
308
00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:53,870
[over radio]
309
00:21:00,284 --> 00:21:03,525
[JB] We basically just
get a hold of her right there,
and I'll spin the wheel.
310
00:21:03,525 --> 00:21:05,077
[wheel squeals as turned]
311
00:21:05,077 --> 00:21:06,560
Here we go. Come on, man.
312
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,387
[high pitched squeal]
313
00:21:08,387 --> 00:21:11,077
There we go. Yep, Yep.
There it goes. There it goes.
314
00:21:11,077 --> 00:21:14,146
All right, let it go.
Oh, yeah, there's one.
315
00:21:14,146 --> 00:21:15,974
Now we've gotta...
316
00:21:15,974 --> 00:21:18,249
You're gonna have to
spin it down there again.
317
00:21:18,249 --> 00:21:21,353
There we go, there we go.
We got it.
318
00:21:22,974 --> 00:21:27,387
Okay. We're on.
Straight. Tight.
319
00:21:28,456 --> 00:21:29,836
[chuckles]
320
00:21:29,836 --> 00:21:32,043
- You ready to fire it up
and see what it does?
- Yeah.
321
00:21:33,111 --> 00:21:37,663
[engine starts]
322
00:21:59,249 --> 00:22:01,318
[Fred] Old Sarge
is running smooth.
323
00:22:01,318 --> 00:22:03,974
We've got Buzz up clearing
and stripping land.
324
00:22:03,974 --> 00:22:07,905
I'm gonna maintain tailings
and pull in more pay
to keep the plant feeding.
325
00:22:08,732 --> 00:22:09,594
We're on the gold now.
326
00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:27,560
[JB] [beep]! What is going on?
327
00:22:28,767 --> 00:22:30,353
Doggone belt came off again.
328
00:22:31,353 --> 00:22:32,491
Why now?
329
00:22:34,525 --> 00:22:37,560
[Fred] The amount
of breakdowns that we've had,
I mean it goes on and on.
330
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,974
[over radio]
331
00:22:39,974 --> 00:22:41,629
Oh man, it's unbelievable.
332
00:22:43,525 --> 00:22:45,284
[JB] Something's
obviously wrong.
333
00:22:45,284 --> 00:22:48,077
I gotta get up there,
and see what's going on
with these pulleys
334
00:22:48,077 --> 00:22:51,939
Try to use my detective work
and see what's going on.
335
00:22:56,249 --> 00:22:59,215
My best guess is that it's
gotta be this pulley system.
336
00:22:59,215 --> 00:23:01,663
The small pulley up here
on the electric motor
337
00:23:01,663 --> 00:23:03,732
runs the larger pulley
on the bottom.
338
00:23:03,732 --> 00:23:09,663
My guess is they're,
uh, either not aligned,
or they've got misaligned.
339
00:23:19,422 --> 00:23:21,801
I think I found the culprit.
340
00:23:21,801 --> 00:23:26,629
The, uh, the top pulley
has been moving back
and forth on this shaft,
341
00:23:27,939 --> 00:23:30,801
causing it to walk out
and walk back in slightly.
342
00:23:30,801 --> 00:23:34,387
I can see the marks
on the shaft here.
343
00:23:34,387 --> 00:23:39,284
And that would definitely
cause our, uh, our
belt-breaking issues.
344
00:23:39,284 --> 00:23:42,525
Man, I can't believe it,
such an easy fix.
345
00:23:42,525 --> 00:23:48,318
I, I'll put a new, uh,
cone in there and a spacer,
and, uh, tighten it down and
346
00:23:48,318 --> 00:23:49,836
this, this thing
should be fixed.
347
00:23:51,870 --> 00:23:55,525
[narrator] Sergeant Sluice's
shaker deck is powered
by an electric motor
348
00:23:55,525 --> 00:23:57,698
that drives a rubber belt.
349
00:23:57,698 --> 00:24:00,939
JB thinks the motor's
pulley wheel is misaligned
350
00:24:00,939 --> 00:24:04,732
with the shaker's bigger wheel
and is moving in and out,
351
00:24:04,732 --> 00:24:06,801
causing the belt to snap...
352
00:24:06,801 --> 00:24:08,594
- [snapping]
- ...and the deck to stop.
353
00:24:09,043 --> 00:24:10,836
JB's plan?
354
00:24:10,836 --> 00:24:13,456
Add a spacer
to the motor's drive shaft
355
00:24:13,456 --> 00:24:16,491
to prevent the lateral
movement of the belt.
356
00:24:16,491 --> 00:24:19,629
He hopes this will stop
the wear and tear on the belt
357
00:24:19,629 --> 00:24:22,456
and get Sergeant Spruce
up and running again.
358
00:24:27,974 --> 00:24:32,491
The true test is going to be,
will this belt hold up?
359
00:24:35,008 --> 00:24:36,422
[engine starts]
360
00:24:47,215 --> 00:24:48,594
That's what we wanted!
361
00:25:06,422 --> 00:25:10,077
[Fred] That wash plant's the
heartbeat of this operation.
If it's not shaking,
362
00:25:10,077 --> 00:25:11,629
we're never gonna
reach our goal.
363
00:25:11,629 --> 00:25:13,249
We've got so much
on the line right now
364
00:25:13,249 --> 00:25:15,077
and that American Dream
is never gonna happen
365
00:25:15,077 --> 00:25:18,387
without a guy like JB
to fix this [bleep]
so, now we're up and running.
366
00:25:35,215 --> 00:25:38,491
[Parker] Um, right now,
we're just stripping
the runway.
367
00:25:39,663 --> 00:25:41,698
Seems like pretty deep mud.
368
00:25:41,698 --> 00:25:45,146
You know, I think
that's probably a good 20 feet
of mud in here and,
369
00:25:45,146 --> 00:25:46,939
it's a bit late in the year
to be opening up
370
00:25:46,939 --> 00:25:48,939
a ground that has
20 feet of mud.
371
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,629
Smooth loadin' that out,
372
00:25:51,629 --> 00:25:55,180
and we have nowhere
to push it to, so it's
all getting loaded out.
373
00:25:55,180 --> 00:25:58,043
I won't say going fine
but it's going.
374
00:25:58,043 --> 00:25:59,663
[narrator]
Parker Schnabel's crew
375
00:25:59,663 --> 00:26:04,594
is rushing to strip the 24
acre Runway Cut down to pay
376
00:26:04,594 --> 00:26:08,594
so they can start feeding
wash plant Big Red.
377
00:26:08,594 --> 00:26:11,560
I've got Big Red
sitting on that
hillside over there,
378
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,836
waiting to wash rocks.
379
00:26:12,836 --> 00:26:16,629
If we had pay dirt right now,
it'd be up and running.
380
00:26:16,629 --> 00:26:20,594
I know it's really put Tyson
in a tough spot here
taking the 750,
381
00:26:20,594 --> 00:26:23,594
but it's so important
that we get this ground
opened up.
382
00:26:23,594 --> 00:26:26,905
If not, we're gonna leave
a lot of gold in the ground.
383
00:26:26,905 --> 00:26:30,663
[narrator] With Mitch's 700
Excavator still in for repair,
384
00:26:31,525 --> 00:26:34,663
Tyson is stuck
in the smaller 480.
385
00:26:34,663 --> 00:26:38,318
Struggling to dig enough pay
to feed Sluicifer.
386
00:26:38,318 --> 00:26:41,077
[Tyson] Had to dial down
Sluicifer's feed rate
a little.
387
00:26:41,077 --> 00:26:42,974
And hopefully I don't have to
dial it down any more.
388
00:26:42,974 --> 00:26:45,560
But at the rate things
are going, I might have to
make that adjustment.
389
00:26:47,146 --> 00:26:49,387
And, you know,
sadly, getting
Big Red going,
390
00:26:49,387 --> 00:26:52,008
it's taken priority
over keeping Sluicifer fed.
391
00:26:54,456 --> 00:26:57,249
Taylor, I hope you got
some good news for me, man.
392
00:26:57,249 --> 00:26:58,456
[Taylor] Hey, buddy.
393
00:26:58,456 --> 00:27:01,456
- How's it going?
- [Mitch] Oh, well you tell me.
394
00:27:01,456 --> 00:27:04,146
- I see we got some parts here.
- Uh... We do indeed.
395
00:27:04,146 --> 00:27:06,180
The rad's dropped in,
she's ready to go.
396
00:27:06,180 --> 00:27:08,387
- All right, sounds good,
buddy, appreciate it, thanks!
- All right, catch you later.
397
00:27:11,939 --> 00:27:14,180
Hey, Tyson, Tyson,
you got a copy?
398
00:27:15,111 --> 00:27:16,767
[Tyson over radio]
399
00:27:16,767 --> 00:27:20,801
Hey, buddy, I got a present
for you if you wanna meet me,
uh, over by Sluicifer.
400
00:27:20,801 --> 00:27:23,215
[over radio]
Sound's good, man.
I'm on my way.
401
00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:32,525
When you said you had
a present for me,
I'm glad it's not the EC20.
402
00:27:32,525 --> 00:27:34,870
Nah, man.
We treated her good.
It moved a lot of mud,
403
00:27:34,870 --> 00:27:37,629
it really helped out.
So now we can get
some pay up here
404
00:27:37,629 --> 00:27:39,215
and crank this baby back up.
405
00:27:39,215 --> 00:27:42,560
Well, I'll go turn it up
and then light the fire
under Froggy and my own ass.
406
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,663
All right, buddy. Now you
at least got some muscle
down here for digging this.
407
00:27:45,663 --> 00:27:47,939
- Sounds good, thanks, Mitch.
- Yeah, no worries,
man, thanks.
408
00:27:50,284 --> 00:27:53,008
[Tyson] So you know,
I just got the 750 back,
which is,
409
00:27:53,008 --> 00:27:57,008
the best news I've had
all week. That means I can
turn this wash plant back up.
410
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:59,732
And we can get back
to running 220 yards an hour.
411
00:27:59,732 --> 00:28:01,560
So it's time I get us back
412
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,905
to getting some serious pay
through this plant and getting
some serious gold.
413
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,629
[narrator] Parker's only
working wash plant is
finally back sluicing
414
00:28:10,629 --> 00:28:12,180
at max capacity.
415
00:28:19,594 --> 00:28:21,146
[engine shutting off]
416
00:28:24,353 --> 00:28:26,353
It looks like
the Super Stacker's off.
417
00:28:28,629 --> 00:28:31,146
Last year it was
playing these games,
418
00:28:31,146 --> 00:28:32,560
and it seemed to have
just stopped.
419
00:28:39,663 --> 00:28:41,043
Oh, "Feeder Fault."
420
00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:42,870
RPM 0.
421
00:28:43,663 --> 00:28:44,456
And now our...
422
00:28:46,663 --> 00:28:48,111
feeder doesn't wanna start.
423
00:28:49,387 --> 00:28:51,008
It's got some gremlins in it.
424
00:28:56,353 --> 00:28:58,767
- [engine turns on]
- Oh, here we go, it's fixed.
425
00:28:58,767 --> 00:29:03,698
Didn't do [bleep] at all
but it's working now,
so we'll roll with it.
426
00:29:03,698 --> 00:29:07,077
It's something we're gonna
have to keep an eye on
is that Super Stacker.
427
00:29:07,077 --> 00:29:09,111
Yeah, Alec,
you got a copy, Alec?
428
00:29:10,525 --> 00:29:11,870
[Alec over radio]
429
00:29:11,870 --> 00:29:13,525
[thumping and clanking]
430
00:29:15,146 --> 00:29:17,525
[engine shutting down]
431
00:29:17,525 --> 00:29:22,111
This, uh, conveyor system
is playing some pretty intense
games right now.
432
00:29:23,249 --> 00:29:25,215
At first it was
the Super Stacker
433
00:29:25,215 --> 00:29:27,146
then our belt feeder
wouldn't start for us.
434
00:29:28,215 --> 00:29:30,663
And now the end delivery
conveyor is shutting down.
435
00:29:33,456 --> 00:29:36,008
We gotta get to
the bottom of these
electrical demons here.
436
00:29:46,974 --> 00:29:48,698
Uh, just got a radio call
that we're having
437
00:29:48,698 --> 00:29:50,491
some issues here
with the conveyors.
438
00:29:50,491 --> 00:29:51,974
They're wanting to shut off
on their own.
439
00:29:51,974 --> 00:29:54,180
So we gotta take a look at it,
see what's going on.
440
00:29:55,456 --> 00:29:57,594
[narrator]
At Parker's Yukon claim,
441
00:29:57,594 --> 00:30:02,353
electrical gremlins
are plaguing Sluicifer's
Super Stacker.
442
00:30:02,353 --> 00:30:05,456
- What went on at first?
Did this stop? Or...
- Just this belt
443
00:30:05,456 --> 00:30:07,387
- right here stopped.
- But the top kept going?
444
00:30:07,387 --> 00:30:10,525
Oh, yeah. It's had
a couple times
where you hit "Go,"
445
00:30:10,525 --> 00:30:13,353
and then it'll run for four
seconds or something
and then turn off.
446
00:30:14,215 --> 00:30:16,905
And it's also
cutting out randomly.
447
00:30:19,180 --> 00:30:21,525
It's got no noise or anything
coming from the gearbox.
448
00:30:21,525 --> 00:30:24,215
You know, looking over
all the rollers here,
449
00:30:24,215 --> 00:30:25,456
don't see anything jammed up.
450
00:30:26,629 --> 00:30:27,974
If the problem's consistent,
451
00:30:27,974 --> 00:30:30,767
you could isolate the problem.
452
00:30:30,767 --> 00:30:32,905
But when it quits working
and then it starts back up
453
00:30:32,905 --> 00:30:34,905
and everything looks good
and checks out good,
454
00:30:34,905 --> 00:30:36,008
it makes it real tough.
455
00:30:37,767 --> 00:30:40,146
[narrator] Every hour
Sluicifer's down...
456
00:30:40,146 --> 00:30:44,146
costs Parker almost $4,000
in lost gold production.
457
00:30:46,422 --> 00:30:49,077
And with Big Red
also out of action,
458
00:30:49,077 --> 00:30:52,146
he's making no money.
459
00:30:52,146 --> 00:30:53,560
[Alec] I'm wonderin'
if maybe there's some
460
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,629
tired contactors
in the panel there.
461
00:30:58,043 --> 00:31:02,663
It certainly could be that
the contactors are getting
shot in it.
462
00:31:02,663 --> 00:31:04,836
[narrator] Contactors are
heavy-duty switches
463
00:31:04,836 --> 00:31:07,560
that prevent surges
frying the electrics.
464
00:31:10,801 --> 00:31:13,525
[Alec] So we're looking to see
if we've got some of the right
goodies here.
465
00:31:14,387 --> 00:31:16,663
It's heavy enough.
Feels expensive.
466
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:20,284
Could be this guy, right here.
467
00:31:25,836 --> 00:31:28,525
Visually, the face plates
look a little bit different.
468
00:31:28,525 --> 00:31:31,732
But this is not
a direct replacement part
469
00:31:31,732 --> 00:31:34,284
to that old contactor there.
470
00:31:34,284 --> 00:31:37,836
Like, physically it will fit,
and we can join up
some of the wires
471
00:31:37,836 --> 00:31:40,077
and it might go,
but it'd be nice to have
472
00:31:40,077 --> 00:31:42,456
the exact unit
that came out of it,
473
00:31:42,456 --> 00:31:44,422
which that new one is not.
474
00:31:44,422 --> 00:31:46,111
[Mitch] It looks like we have
part of what we need,
475
00:31:46,111 --> 00:31:47,629
but, unfortunately,
not all of it.
476
00:31:48,698 --> 00:31:49,836
So, in the meantime,
477
00:31:50,456 --> 00:31:52,353
let's just, uh,
478
00:31:52,353 --> 00:31:54,560
try and kind of...
Maybe we can
blow this thing out.
479
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:55,974
I mean, all the dust,
all the dirt,
480
00:31:55,974 --> 00:31:57,629
you look at all that sand
and everything in there.
481
00:31:57,629 --> 00:31:58,905
Oh, yeah, we've got a bit.
482
00:31:58,905 --> 00:32:01,456
[Mitch] It doesn't take much
in there for those contactors
483
00:32:01,456 --> 00:32:05,180
to get some contamination.
They're not gonna wanna
bite in good.
484
00:32:05,180 --> 00:32:07,663
- [air hissing]
- [Mitch] Oh, yeah, you see
that dust coming out of there?
485
00:32:09,491 --> 00:32:12,422
See, Alec, back in my day,
when you had, like,
a video game that
486
00:32:12,422 --> 00:32:14,180
- didn't wanna work,
you just had to go like...
- Okay.
487
00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:16,870
- [blows air] ...and then
it's good to go, you know.
- [air hissing]
488
00:32:27,732 --> 00:32:29,905
Well...
489
00:32:29,905 --> 00:32:33,387
- looks a lot better
than it did.
- [Alec] Yeah, it's all right.
490
00:32:33,387 --> 00:32:36,870
- [Mitch] Give that a try, buddy.
- Fire up the video game again.
491
00:32:36,870 --> 00:32:40,077
Obviously, we're out here
in the sand and the dirt
and the elements so,
492
00:32:40,077 --> 00:32:41,801
uh, not the best thing for it.
493
00:32:41,801 --> 00:32:44,249
And, you know, all it takes,
494
00:32:44,249 --> 00:32:46,594
little bit of junk here
for things to not start
working right.
495
00:32:46,594 --> 00:32:49,491
This'll be like taking your
laptop outside and, uh,
496
00:32:49,491 --> 00:32:51,594
you know, leaving it out
in the weather
for a few weeks.
497
00:32:51,594 --> 00:32:54,318
Rain, dirt, crud, everything.
498
00:32:54,318 --> 00:32:58,767
Well, that old piece
is reinstalled.
We've blown out, uh,
499
00:32:58,767 --> 00:33:01,560
the dust and hopefully
the gremlins along with it.
500
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,560
Wanna go fire up the generator
and see what she says?
501
00:33:08,043 --> 00:33:09,043
[Sluicifer turning on]
502
00:33:10,008 --> 00:33:11,008
Oh!
503
00:33:11,008 --> 00:33:12,663
Things are workin' again.
504
00:33:12,663 --> 00:33:13,732
[Sluicifer whirring]
505
00:33:20,422 --> 00:33:22,663
Uh, you know, I think
there's definitely probably
still some gremlins
506
00:33:22,663 --> 00:33:25,801
in this thing but it's, uh,
firing up. It's working.
507
00:33:25,801 --> 00:33:27,491
And as long as
these belts keep spinning,
508
00:33:27,491 --> 00:33:28,767
that's all we can ask for
right now.
509
00:33:46,732 --> 00:33:48,387
[Dave]
We're back in the saddle.
510
00:33:48,387 --> 00:33:49,422
Team Turin all in.
511
00:33:53,801 --> 00:33:55,215
[narrator] At Glacier Creek,
512
00:33:55,215 --> 00:33:58,284
Dave Turin is running nearly
two hundred yards an hour
513
00:33:58,284 --> 00:34:00,111
through his wash plant,
the Eagle.
514
00:34:02,180 --> 00:34:03,905
[Dave] This could be
the best run of my life.
515
00:34:05,111 --> 00:34:06,870
Couldn't have done it
with a better group of guys.
516
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:10,043
[narrator]
In the Three Amigos Cut,
517
00:34:10,043 --> 00:34:12,111
Jason stockpiles pay dirt.
518
00:34:13,180 --> 00:34:15,594
I'm very, very happy
to be back at it.
519
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:17,905
Wingin' and singin'!
520
00:34:17,905 --> 00:34:21,043
Gonna be diggin'
and washing here in a minute.
521
00:34:21,043 --> 00:34:25,008
[narrator] Ready for Nathan
to haul it to the wash plant
in the loader.
522
00:34:26,146 --> 00:34:29,215
- [engine clicking]
- [Nate] Better than nothing.
523
00:34:29,215 --> 00:34:32,043
- Come on, baby.
Don't fail me now.
- [loader beeps]
524
00:34:40,732 --> 00:34:42,422
She don't, don't
wanna turn over.
525
00:34:44,594 --> 00:34:47,318
Hey, Dave, I'll probably
need you to come
over here in a second,
526
00:34:47,318 --> 00:34:49,318
uh, ol' Betty don't wanna
start up.
527
00:34:49,318 --> 00:34:52,456
[Dave cursing over radio]
528
00:34:54,663 --> 00:34:56,008
What's up, Nate?
529
00:34:56,008 --> 00:34:58,422
- She is clicking, that's it.
- [Dave] Oh, no.
530
00:34:58,422 --> 00:35:00,456
- Yeah.
- [Dave] Have you checked
the batteries?
531
00:35:00,456 --> 00:35:02,111
No, I haven't checked
the batteries yet.
532
00:35:02,111 --> 00:35:04,180
- You want me try to
turn it over then?
- [Nate] If you don't mind.
533
00:35:04,180 --> 00:35:05,146
Okay.
534
00:35:05,146 --> 00:35:06,939
- [Nate] Go ahead.
- [Dave] All, right, clear!
535
00:35:06,939 --> 00:35:07,767
[Nate] Yeah.
536
00:35:08,836 --> 00:35:10,732
[engine clicking and beeping]
537
00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:15,215
I got just clicking.
538
00:35:16,387 --> 00:35:17,974
But it ain't,
ain't driving at all.
539
00:35:17,974 --> 00:35:20,077
- [loader beeps]
- [Dave curses]
540
00:35:21,732 --> 00:35:24,456
No good. [bleep]
No good at all.
541
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:26,870
It's either batteries,
or it's the starter.
542
00:35:28,353 --> 00:35:31,525
[Nate] So we got 26 volts, 25.
543
00:35:31,525 --> 00:35:34,353
- So the batteries are okay.
- But that's exactly
where it should be.
544
00:35:34,353 --> 00:35:37,146
Yeah. [indistinct] [bleep]
545
00:35:37,146 --> 00:35:39,387
I mean, I don't mind
putting money out
for a starter.
546
00:35:39,387 --> 00:35:42,077
We're gonna have to
put a starter in it anyway
to move it, so...
547
00:35:42,077 --> 00:35:44,180
[Nate] I don't wanna
tell you... I mean, yeah,
we could probably
548
00:35:44,180 --> 00:35:45,974
get a starter
by the time frame.
549
00:35:45,974 --> 00:35:48,180
[Dave] See how long it's
gonna take to get a starter.
550
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:50,387
And without this machine
hauling pay,
551
00:35:50,387 --> 00:35:53,180
we get nothing.
We might as well
just pack it up and go home.
552
00:35:57,836 --> 00:36:01,387
I'm, uh, looking for a starter
for a 980G, uh, CAT.
553
00:36:01,387 --> 00:36:03,905
[man on phone] All right,
let me, uh, look that up
in our inventory.
554
00:36:03,905 --> 00:36:05,905
Okay.
555
00:36:05,905 --> 00:36:08,043
- [man clicks tongue]
I got one in Juneau.
- Oh, [bleep].
556
00:36:08,043 --> 00:36:09,905
How long until we get that?
557
00:36:09,905 --> 00:36:12,836
[man] I could probably get you
something in a week.
Maybe two.
558
00:36:13,422 --> 00:36:15,008
Okay, um...
559
00:36:15,008 --> 00:36:16,732
- Nothing sooner?
- [man] No,
560
00:36:16,732 --> 00:36:19,180
I'm afraid.
That's the only one
around anyway.
561
00:36:19,180 --> 00:36:22,939
Okay. That's fine.
Alright, yeah, let's go ahead
and get it rolling this way.
562
00:36:22,939 --> 00:36:25,905
Um, we gotta, we gotta
get on there one way
or another.
563
00:36:25,905 --> 00:36:27,387
- [man clicks tongue]
All right.
- All right, thanks, Chad.
564
00:36:29,836 --> 00:36:30,905
[sighs and curses]
565
00:36:33,146 --> 00:36:34,318
Hi, Dave.
566
00:36:34,318 --> 00:36:35,111
Got bad news.
567
00:36:35,594 --> 00:36:36,456
That starter,
568
00:36:37,422 --> 00:36:38,318
no bueno.
569
00:36:39,077 --> 00:36:40,249
What?
570
00:36:40,249 --> 00:36:42,870
[Nate] They said it's
over a week out.
It's in Juneau.
571
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:45,905
Well, week's way too long.
I don't wanna sit around
and do nothing for a week.
572
00:36:46,422 --> 00:36:49,698
Um... [bleep]
573
00:36:49,698 --> 00:36:52,525
If we can't find a starter,
I gotta find a loader
or somethin'.
574
00:36:52,525 --> 00:36:54,008
Let me talk to Shelly.
575
00:36:54,008 --> 00:36:55,560
- We'll see if she can come up something.
- [Nate] Cool.
576
00:36:59,318 --> 00:37:03,836
And that goes to show you,
it doesn't matter if it's
three guys, eight guys,
577
00:37:03,836 --> 00:37:05,870
when a piece of equipment
goes down...
578
00:37:07,732 --> 00:37:09,732
it shuts
an entire operation down.
579
00:37:21,836 --> 00:37:22,939
[Shelly over radio]
Shelly to Dave.
580
00:37:24,663 --> 00:37:26,111
[Dave over radio]
Go ahead, Shelly.
581
00:37:26,111 --> 00:37:27,905
[Shelly] Hey, Dave, would you
meet me by the bridge?
582
00:37:27,905 --> 00:37:29,318
I have something
I wanna show you.
583
00:37:31,043 --> 00:37:32,870
- [Dave] Okay,
I'll be right there.
- Okay.
584
00:37:34,801 --> 00:37:36,974
[Nate] I just wanna get going.
I just wanna fire up and go.
585
00:37:36,974 --> 00:37:39,111
We got some of this
maintenance crap
taken care of.
586
00:37:39,111 --> 00:37:41,387
- Without a loader, Nate,
we aint' doin' [bleep].
- [Nate] Nope.
587
00:37:43,491 --> 00:37:45,905
[horn honking]
588
00:37:45,905 --> 00:37:49,456
- [Nate] Well, well.
- [Jason] Where in the world
did he come up with that?
589
00:37:50,249 --> 00:37:52,180
[Dave] Check it out, boys.
590
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:54,284
[Jason] You never cease
to amaze me, Dave.
591
00:37:54,284 --> 00:37:55,594
[Nate] That's awesome.
592
00:37:55,594 --> 00:37:59,008
Shelly found it, you know.
There's a guy in town,
local guy,
593
00:37:59,008 --> 00:38:02,008
said we could, you know,
rent it for a while.
594
00:38:02,008 --> 00:38:05,008
But we gotta get sluicing.
That's gonna cost us
some money.
595
00:38:05,008 --> 00:38:06,491
It's not free.
596
00:38:06,491 --> 00:38:09,663
So you run that,
I'll bring the little
excavator up here
597
00:38:09,663 --> 00:38:10,836
and we're off and going.
598
00:38:10,836 --> 00:38:12,215
- [Nate] That'll work.
- All right, let's do it, guys.
599
00:38:13,663 --> 00:38:15,284
[engine turning over]
600
00:38:28,353 --> 00:38:30,905
So, here we go.
We're back in business.
601
00:38:41,043 --> 00:38:42,491
I like it. Here we go.
602
00:38:46,043 --> 00:38:48,663
You know, who knows
how this is gonna end.
603
00:38:48,663 --> 00:38:50,594
But as long as we can
prove this ground,
604
00:38:50,594 --> 00:38:53,008
then Jason and Nathan,
you never know.
605
00:38:53,008 --> 00:38:54,698
They might be the new owners.
606
00:39:05,732 --> 00:39:09,077
- Not bad for first run.
- No, sir.
607
00:39:09,077 --> 00:39:11,215
[Dave] Nice little
chunk there.
608
00:39:11,215 --> 00:39:13,939
We got gold in the box.
It's always a good thing
to see.
609
00:39:14,732 --> 00:39:16,663
[narrator] At Glacier Creek,
610
00:39:16,663 --> 00:39:18,318
Team Turin pulls the mats...
611
00:39:19,043 --> 00:39:19,905
Getting up.
612
00:39:19,905 --> 00:39:22,111
...after nearly
three days running.
613
00:39:29,422 --> 00:39:33,905
The Three Amigos Cut,
three days, three guys,
and we got gold.
614
00:39:33,905 --> 00:39:35,836
Let's just hope
it isn't three ounces.
615
00:39:35,836 --> 00:39:37,560
[all laughing]
616
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,594
I'm enjoying myself.
This is the most fun
I've had mining.
617
00:39:40,594 --> 00:39:42,939
All I gotta do is sit there
and run that plant,
618
00:39:42,939 --> 00:39:45,180
you guys are digging pay,
hauling it up.
619
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:49,318
- And I think we just found
an employee.
- [all laughing]
620
00:39:49,318 --> 00:39:52,974
- No stress, no responsibility,
just run that son [bleeping].
- On it.
621
00:39:52,974 --> 00:39:54,008
[all continue laughing]
622
00:39:55,767 --> 00:39:57,284
[Nate] I love it. I love it.
623
00:40:06,077 --> 00:40:09,008
- You're ready to retire?
All right.
- I'm ready to retire. Yes.
624
00:40:09,008 --> 00:40:10,249
Hey, guys, come on in.
625
00:40:11,663 --> 00:40:12,905
Let's weigh it up.
626
00:40:12,905 --> 00:40:15,146
[narrator] Dave Turin
gathers his crew
627
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:17,146
for the first gold weigh
of the season.
628
00:40:18,077 --> 00:40:20,491
Well, Shelly,
can you do the honors?
629
00:40:20,491 --> 00:40:23,180
- [Shelly] Okay.
- The first gold weigh
of the year
630
00:40:23,180 --> 00:40:25,491
and let's see
how many ounces we get.
631
00:40:25,491 --> 00:40:28,560
We've set a goal of 30 ounces.
632
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,629
I was hopin' for 10 ounces
today. I'll count.
633
00:40:32,215 --> 00:40:33,180
All right, here we go.
634
00:40:35,387 --> 00:40:36,387
[Dave] There's a half.
635
00:40:37,146 --> 00:40:38,077
There's one.
636
00:40:39,043 --> 00:40:39,836
Two.
637
00:40:41,180 --> 00:40:42,043
There's three.
638
00:40:43,767 --> 00:40:44,525
There's four.
639
00:40:44,939 --> 00:40:45,732
Come on.
640
00:40:47,215 --> 00:40:48,249
We got five.
641
00:40:49,008 --> 00:40:49,801
Come on.
642
00:40:50,905 --> 00:40:53,146
Five point five eight.
643
00:40:53,146 --> 00:40:55,698
[narrator]
Worth nearly $10,000.
644
00:40:59,422 --> 00:41:02,249
We ran about 1,400 yards.
That's not the best,
645
00:41:02,249 --> 00:41:05,008
but we know top gravels
aren't the best.
646
00:41:05,008 --> 00:41:06,284
- [Jason] You're right.
- We know that.
647
00:41:06,284 --> 00:41:09,180
But we didn't have time
to do a lot of strippin'
either.
648
00:41:09,180 --> 00:41:10,732
- Right.
- [Dave] So we're just, like,
649
00:41:10,732 --> 00:41:12,422
- we gotta move it and run it.
- [Jason] Run it.
650
00:41:12,422 --> 00:41:14,663
Hey, the good news is...
651
00:41:14,663 --> 00:41:16,318
- we're down to deeper gravels.
- [Nate] Yup.
652
00:41:16,318 --> 00:41:18,111
I mean at the end there,
653
00:41:18,111 --> 00:41:19,905
you were startin' to
hit those big rocks.
654
00:41:19,905 --> 00:41:21,629
- That's where
the gold's livin'.
- Yeah.
655
00:41:21,629 --> 00:41:23,422
[Dave] So the next one
will be better.
656
00:41:23,422 --> 00:41:26,767
Oh, I'm sorry, you guys,
that's $10,000 top gravels.
657
00:41:26,767 --> 00:41:28,456
- For two and a half
[bleep] days.
- [Shelly] Yeah.
658
00:41:28,456 --> 00:41:29,767
- I'll take it.
- [Shelly] Yup.
659
00:41:29,767 --> 00:41:31,008
- Yeah.
- [Shelly] Yeah, it works.
660
00:41:31,318 --> 00:41:33,146
It works.
661
00:41:33,146 --> 00:41:37,008
We're just getting down
to actually see
where the good pay is.
662
00:41:37,008 --> 00:41:38,422
- Let's do it.
- [Dave] Good job, guys.
663
00:41:38,422 --> 00:41:39,594
Let's get some more gold.
664
00:41:39,594 --> 00:41:41,767
[Jason] You know,
Nate's crazy idea to,
665
00:41:41,767 --> 00:41:44,974
"Let's fire her up and run,
three guys and a gal..."
666
00:41:46,215 --> 00:41:47,284
it paid off.
667
00:41:47,284 --> 00:41:49,939
It's gonna give us some
results to really base our
668
00:41:49,939 --> 00:41:52,215
buying or not buying
decision now.
669
00:41:52,215 --> 00:41:53,491
[Dave] All right,
let's do it. All in?
670
00:41:54,353 --> 00:41:56,422
Three amigos, all in.
One, two, three.
671
00:41:56,422 --> 00:41:57,249
[all] All in!
672
00:41:59,456 --> 00:42:01,146
[Dave] And we're
having fun with it.
673
00:42:01,146 --> 00:42:02,594
I just love these guys.
674
00:42:02,594 --> 00:42:05,387
I love the opportunity
to mine with 'em
one last time.
675
00:42:06,629 --> 00:42:08,525
Thirty ounces is the goal
676
00:42:08,525 --> 00:42:10,974
and we're gonna do it
in the Three Amigos Cut.
677
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:28,939
[JB] What a week, eh?
678
00:42:28,939 --> 00:42:30,491
- Oh.
- All the time.
679
00:42:31,732 --> 00:42:33,525
If it's not one thing,
it's the other.
680
00:42:36,767 --> 00:42:38,525
What are you guys guessin'?
681
00:42:38,525 --> 00:42:41,422
I've been disappointed
so many times,
I'm just gonna go for,
682
00:42:42,146 --> 00:42:43,353
twelve, 11 ounces.
683
00:42:43,974 --> 00:42:44,870
What's up, guys?
684
00:42:46,284 --> 00:42:48,732
Um, I guess
it was a tough week.
685
00:42:48,732 --> 00:42:50,767
I mean, we had
the trip to Alaska,
which was, like,
686
00:42:50,767 --> 00:42:52,249
basically two days
we weren't doing anything
687
00:42:52,249 --> 00:42:54,008
'cause we
couldn't have our belts.
688
00:42:54,008 --> 00:42:57,180
And, uh, then we had to fix
the plant, so it's been
hindering us a little bit.
689
00:42:57,180 --> 00:42:59,594
But i feel like the wash plant
right now is ready.
690
00:42:59,594 --> 00:43:01,284
We just have to keep that
yardage going.
691
00:43:01,284 --> 00:43:02,870
[JB] Uh, half-week running?
Right?
692
00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:05,215
- Yeah. Pretty much.
- Yeah, there's also...
We lost some days.
693
00:43:05,215 --> 00:43:06,767
And what do we need
to pay the bills?
694
00:43:06,767 --> 00:43:09,008
- We need 11 ounces.
- 11 ounces
to pay the bills, okay.
695
00:43:09,008 --> 00:43:10,146
11 ounces to pay the bills.
696
00:43:10,146 --> 00:43:11,939
I don't know. I'm not gonna
give you guys any clues.
697
00:43:11,939 --> 00:43:13,663
I am gonna tell you
the gold is getting chunkier.
698
00:43:13,663 --> 00:43:15,836
And it's starting to get me
a little excited.
699
00:43:15,836 --> 00:43:17,249
Who wants to count it?
700
00:43:17,249 --> 00:43:18,974
- I think I am today.
- [Fred] You're doing it?
701
00:43:18,974 --> 00:43:20,077
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Fred] All right, JB.
702
00:43:20,077 --> 00:43:21,836
- I get the honors.
- All right. You ready?
703
00:43:21,836 --> 00:43:23,215
Yeah, I'm ready.
704
00:43:23,215 --> 00:43:25,318
[Fred] All right, JB.
Here we go, here we go.
705
00:43:25,318 --> 00:43:27,215
[JB] There's one, two
706
00:43:27,215 --> 00:43:29,836
three, four, five, six,
707
00:43:29,836 --> 00:43:32,353
seven, eight, nine, ten,
708
00:43:32,353 --> 00:43:35,905
eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
709
00:43:35,905 --> 00:43:38,767
- fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...
- [bleeping]
710
00:43:38,767 --> 00:43:40,249
...eighteen, come on, twenty!
711
00:43:40,249 --> 00:43:42,456
No way! Twenty-freaking-one!
712
00:43:42,456 --> 00:43:44,387
- [all cheering]
- Holy [bleep].
713
00:43:44,387 --> 00:43:46,043
- Are you kidding me!
- [bleeping]
714
00:43:47,146 --> 00:43:48,939
- Finally.
- Holy [bleep]!
715
00:43:49,836 --> 00:43:53,284
[narrator] Worth over $35,000.
716
00:43:53,284 --> 00:43:57,663
This week's weigh in
is the most they've ever
mined as a solo crew
717
00:43:57,663 --> 00:44:01,387
and proof the Freedom Cut
can pay out.
718
00:44:01,387 --> 00:44:04,939
You know, this right here
represents the best [bleep]
clean up we've ever had
719
00:44:04,939 --> 00:44:06,767
as a, as a mine team.
720
00:44:06,767 --> 00:44:09,318
So what that tells me
is we're on the path.
721
00:44:09,318 --> 00:44:11,560
Can't even imagine.
Think about how much
gold we would be getting
722
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,594
if we hit that seam
and we keep following it
723
00:44:13,594 --> 00:44:15,318
and we can get our yardage.
724
00:44:15,318 --> 00:44:17,732
I, uh, you know I...
It was looking like
it was gonna be
725
00:44:17,732 --> 00:44:21,180
another bad clean up but,
I mean, our hard work, dedication,
726
00:44:21,180 --> 00:44:23,974
it is finally
coming to fruition
and you can see it.
727
00:44:23,974 --> 00:44:25,353
[Fred] To me, the gold
is in the ground.
728
00:44:25,353 --> 00:44:27,594
We're gonna, we're gonna
work as hard as we
possibly can.
729
00:44:27,594 --> 00:44:30,249
The rest of the season
we're gonna [bleep] push
knowing that it's there.
730
00:44:30,905 --> 00:44:32,284
[Fred] Put the hours in.
731
00:44:32,284 --> 00:44:33,905
- Put that [bleep]
through the plant...
- Easily.
732
00:44:33,905 --> 00:44:36,387
- ...and we're gonna go home
with actual bonus this year.
- It's crazy.
733
00:44:36,387 --> 00:44:38,939
I put a lot of equity
into this season.
734
00:44:38,939 --> 00:44:41,077
From my house,
from my [bleep] everything.
735
00:44:41,077 --> 00:44:43,939
Before this gold weigh,
I was freaking
the [bleep] out.
736
00:44:43,939 --> 00:44:46,663
- Yeah. Yeah.
- This gives me confidence
that we can do that.
737
00:44:46,663 --> 00:44:47,974
We need to hit
that 500 ounces.
738
00:44:47,974 --> 00:44:49,801
But I think
we can do that now.
739
00:44:49,801 --> 00:44:51,698
I know we can do that,
if we get workin'.
740
00:44:51,698 --> 00:44:52,698
Yup.
741
00:44:52,698 --> 00:44:54,215
- So...
- So, why are we
sitting around?
742
00:44:54,215 --> 00:44:55,974
- Yeah.
- It's a good [bleep] question,
Buzz.
743
00:44:55,974 --> 00:44:57,284
That's a good
[bleep] question.
744
00:44:57,284 --> 00:44:58,525
- Get back to work.
- You guys get back to work.
745
00:44:58,525 --> 00:45:00,146
[all chuckling]
746
00:45:00,146 --> 00:45:02,629
Love you guys, but, uh,
don't wanna see you
the rest of the day.
747
00:45:02,629 --> 00:45:04,111
- Yup.
- Yes.
748
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:18,939
- [Chris] Hey, Mitchell.
- [Mitch] What's happenin', man?
749
00:45:18,939 --> 00:45:19,974
How you doing, buddy?
750
00:45:19,974 --> 00:45:21,387
Hope you don't mind me
not standing up.
751
00:45:21,387 --> 00:45:23,008
But it's nice and warm
right here.
752
00:45:23,663 --> 00:45:25,180
[narrator] At Indian River,
753
00:45:25,180 --> 00:45:30,008
wash plant Big Red
barely ran half a day
before running out of pay.
754
00:45:30,008 --> 00:45:33,043
So it's down to Sluicifer
to keep the Schnabel Crew
755
00:45:33,043 --> 00:45:36,008
in the game and on the gold.
756
00:45:36,008 --> 00:45:37,284
- How's it going, guys?
- Hey, chief.
757
00:45:37,284 --> 00:45:39,732
- Oh, she's going, man!
- [Tyson] Oh, it's been
a week, man.
758
00:45:42,353 --> 00:45:44,560
You know how the coolest thing
having turned Sluicifer down,
759
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,353
but definitely we weren't
gonna get through that mud
with, uh, 480, no way.
760
00:45:48,353 --> 00:45:51,663
- Yeah, no...
- [Chris] I'm glad you guys
didn't get in a punchin'...
761
00:45:51,663 --> 00:45:54,870
pushing, fighting,
arguing mode over
who gets what, it--
762
00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:57,180
- It just got repossessed.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
763
00:45:57,180 --> 00:45:59,698
Temporarily. Well I'm glad
it helped you out.
764
00:46:03,836 --> 00:46:05,422
- [Parker] Hey there, youngster.
- [Tyson] Hi.
765
00:46:05,422 --> 00:46:06,939
- How you doin'?
- Good.
766
00:46:06,939 --> 00:46:11,249
- How are you guys?
- Uh, 700 blew the rod,
but we got her back together.
767
00:46:11,249 --> 00:46:14,663
Well, you know when
the 750 left, I had to turn
the plant down a little bit
768
00:46:14,663 --> 00:46:17,146
just to, kinda, keep up
'cause the 480
isn't able to dig.
769
00:46:17,146 --> 00:46:18,663
Oh, to get enough pay up.
770
00:46:18,663 --> 00:46:22,146
Yeah, it was a struggle.
Hopefully we don't notice it
too much right now.
771
00:46:22,146 --> 00:46:23,801
We definitely lost some
772
00:46:23,801 --> 00:46:25,905
some, uh, yardage for sure
this week.
773
00:46:25,905 --> 00:46:29,077
- Yeah.
- You are holding it
like it has some weight to it.
774
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:30,801
- Well, I'm old.
- He's tryna trick 'ya!
775
00:46:30,801 --> 00:46:33,560
- I'm old and weak.
- Five ounces.
776
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,594
[narrator] Last week,
running two wash plants,
777
00:46:36,594 --> 00:46:41,387
delivered a combined total
of 457 ounces.
778
00:46:41,387 --> 00:46:43,077
- You ready, T?
- Okay, I see zero.
779
00:46:43,077 --> 00:46:45,456
- That's a good place to start.
- [Tyson chuckles] Yeah.
780
00:46:45,456 --> 00:46:46,905
Hopefully that's not
where it finishes.
781
00:46:47,422 --> 00:46:48,215
Twenty.
782
00:46:48,594 --> 00:46:49,387
Forty.
783
00:46:50,215 --> 00:46:51,318
Sixty.
784
00:46:51,318 --> 00:46:52,870
- We get a lot of tip
on that thing.
- [Tyson] Eighty.
785
00:46:53,318 --> 00:46:54,629
A hundred.
786
00:46:54,629 --> 00:46:58,974
One twenty, 140, 150, 170,
787
00:46:59,456 --> 00:47:00,767
oh, 200,
788
00:47:01,249 --> 00:47:02,767
209.5.
789
00:47:03,594 --> 00:47:07,284
[narrator]
Worth over $350,000.
790
00:47:07,284 --> 00:47:09,284
- [Tyson] It's not bad.
- That's not bad.
791
00:47:09,284 --> 00:47:11,663
If we run comparisons...
792
00:47:11,663 --> 00:47:16,008
last season at this time
we had 4,251 ounces.
793
00:47:16,008 --> 00:47:21,491
- This season,
we have 4,984 ounces.
- [Mitch] That ain't bad.
794
00:47:21,491 --> 00:47:24,284
We're just a hair shy
of 5,000.
795
00:47:25,939 --> 00:47:28,905
We'll work all week.
Try and, uh, get rid
of that overburden.
796
00:47:28,905 --> 00:47:30,560
Maybe we'll have
two plants running but
797
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,594
