2
00:00:18,943 --> 00:00:22,309
We're mining on
the Indian River,
but this license's expiring.

3
00:00:22,309 --> 00:00:25,543
What we don't mine
this year...

4
00:00:25,543 --> 00:00:29,376
I never get a chance to,
so it's going to be
a struggle.

5
00:00:29,376 --> 00:00:31,410
We're definitely going
to fight trying to get
that done.

6
00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:34,410
After a meteoric
rise to the top,

7
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:38,610
28-year-old Parker Schnabel
may have finally bitten off

8
00:00:38,610 --> 00:00:40,777
more than he can chew.

9
00:00:40,777 --> 00:00:43,510
He's torn between
running a new operation

10
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:47,010
in Alaska and helping
his crew run more ground

11
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:49,576
than ever before in the Yukon.

12
00:00:49,576 --> 00:00:52,677
I'm hoping here that
we can, you know,

13
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:56,309
put this place to bed nice
and it would be a real shame

14
00:00:56,309 --> 00:00:57,677
to leave anything behind.

15
00:00:59,109 --> 00:01:01,576
Over two-thirds
into the season,

16
00:01:01,576 --> 00:01:07,043
Parker's mined nearly
5,000 ounces of Klondike Gold,

17
00:01:07,043 --> 00:01:10,343
but he's currently running
at half capacity.

18
00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:14,943
The main thing here
is we've got to get Big Red

19
00:01:14,943 --> 00:01:15,810
up and running.

20
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:17,410
Like it's been down
for two weeks

21
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:21,410
and we've got a lot of
sluicing still to do.

22
00:01:24,376 --> 00:01:28,076
The Klondike crew
just turned a big corner.

23
00:01:28,076 --> 00:01:32,276
After moving two million yards
of dirt over four months,

24
00:01:32,276 --> 00:01:38,143
the final section, the 24-acre
runway cut, is down to pay.

25
00:01:38,143 --> 00:01:41,610
If they can sluice it all
before winter hits,

26
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:47,743
it could net another
$3.5 million in gold.

27
00:01:48,176 --> 00:01:49,843
What's happening?

28
00:01:49,843 --> 00:01:52,276
Liam is flying back
over to Alaska,

29
00:01:52,276 --> 00:01:53,877
so I'm hitching
a ride with him.

30
00:01:53,877 --> 00:01:56,877
I was hoping to stick
around a few more days,
but I shouldn't be gone long.

31
00:01:56,877 --> 00:01:58,476
But I just wanted to make
sure you guys were all good

32
00:01:58,476 --> 00:02:01,143
and didn't have any concerns
or questions.

33
00:02:01,143 --> 00:02:03,677
The biggest concern
I have is just getting Big Red
up and running.

34
00:02:03,677 --> 00:02:05,677
And every day it's sitting
there is one day later

35
00:02:05,677 --> 00:02:08,176
we're going to have to try
and make it sluice
when it's cold.

36
00:02:08,176 --> 00:02:09,810
- Yeah.
- Yeah, hopefully by the time

37
00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:12,309
you're back,
it's up and running.

38
00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:15,043
- All right, man, later.
Thanks, guys.
- Have fun.

39
00:02:16,743 --> 00:02:19,176
He wants to sluice
it all, he doesn't want
to leave anything behind.

40
00:02:19,176 --> 00:02:21,043
We've been here
for a few years.

41
00:02:21,043 --> 00:02:23,576
- That's crazy.
- 50 different
wash plant setups.

42
00:02:23,576 --> 00:02:25,243
We got to get Big Red
back running,

43
00:02:25,243 --> 00:02:27,209
- but looks like that's
on you and me.
- Yeah.

44
00:02:27,209 --> 00:02:28,443
Later, man.

45
00:02:28,443 --> 00:02:31,843
To get Big Red
running before Parker returns,

46
00:02:31,843 --> 00:02:35,343
Mitch and Tyson need
to transport it in sections

47
00:02:35,343 --> 00:02:38,576
from the Bear Cut
to the Runway Cut.

48
00:02:38,576 --> 00:02:42,309
First task, move
the 10-ton hopper feeder.

49
00:02:44,777 --> 00:02:47,176
Come on, come on, come on.

50
00:02:47,176 --> 00:02:48,510
No. No.

51
00:02:51,209 --> 00:02:53,643
This thing's been sitting
for too long, man.

52
00:02:53,643 --> 00:02:55,743
- Yeah.
- Got some roots here now.

53
00:02:55,743 --> 00:02:58,176
It made itself a nice home,
that's for sure.

54
00:03:06,143 --> 00:03:09,109
- Try again.
- It's settled in,

55
00:03:09,109 --> 00:03:11,243
it's making it difficult
to get the truck
underneath it.

56
00:03:17,309 --> 00:03:19,209
Man it was almost there.

57
00:03:19,209 --> 00:03:22,843
With the truck
unable to fit under
the hopper feeder,

58
00:03:22,843 --> 00:03:26,209
Mitch calls in a loader
to raise up the hopper.

59
00:03:28,510 --> 00:03:29,910
Got 'em in.

60
00:03:31,543 --> 00:03:32,710
Hop up.

61
00:03:41,309 --> 00:03:42,543
We're good to go.

62
00:03:44,176 --> 00:03:48,043
Right now we're just adding
some cribbing underneath
the hopper here

63
00:03:48,043 --> 00:03:51,209
to allow us to get the tractor
underneath it.

64
00:04:08,777 --> 00:04:11,476
Got her, had to
knock the dust off it.

65
00:04:11,476 --> 00:04:12,943
Some days you got
to just get after it.

66
00:04:12,943 --> 00:04:14,510
Yeah, get a little ramroddy.

67
00:04:14,510 --> 00:04:17,510
Oh, man, well it
just kept sinking here,
we weren't gaining on it.

68
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:18,410
No.

69
00:04:18,410 --> 00:04:20,076
We got our hopper feeder
hooked up,

70
00:04:20,076 --> 00:04:21,843
now it's just a matter
of getting it down to the cut.

71
00:04:29,943 --> 00:04:32,810
Well we got the feeder in,
now we'll get the radial
stacker in place.

72
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:38,376
Sooner we can get Big Red
up and running,

73
00:04:38,376 --> 00:04:40,576
the better off we'll be.

74
00:04:40,576 --> 00:04:42,309
How'd that go?
Looked pretty smooth?

75
00:04:42,309 --> 00:04:45,543
- Yeah, didn't get hung up,
so that's good.
- Nice.

76
00:04:47,343 --> 00:04:51,276
Now we're going to go back
for the shaker deck.

77
00:04:51,276 --> 00:04:55,710
Big Red
has been sluicing Indian River
pay dirt for nine years,

78
00:04:55,710 --> 00:04:58,610
mining almost 30,000 ounces,

79
00:04:58,610 --> 00:05:02,443
almost 50 million dollars
of gold.

80
00:05:02,443 --> 00:05:04,143
Well, man, this is what
it's all about,

81
00:05:04,143 --> 00:05:06,743
one last ride for Big Red
going down this valley here.

82
00:05:16,443 --> 00:05:17,576
It's looking good, Mitch.

83
00:05:19,309 --> 00:05:21,343
One more big piece
of the puzzle here,

84
00:05:21,343 --> 00:05:22,777
the picture's starting to
come together,

85
00:05:22,777 --> 00:05:26,743
we'll get the sluice
runs next to it
and, uh, we're gaining on it.

86
00:05:33,576 --> 00:05:35,510
Right now we're just flying
these sluice runs

87
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:37,677
like a magic carpet here.

88
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:50,576
The sluice runs around
in the last corner here,

89
00:05:50,576 --> 00:05:52,109
heading to the new
wash plant pad.

90
00:06:00,376 --> 00:06:01,610
Come on, baby.

91
00:06:04,410 --> 00:06:05,710
Don't get crazy now.

92
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:11,076
Yeah, keep on coming,
man, it's looking nice.

93
00:06:26,543 --> 00:06:29,743
Next, the 100 foot
radial stacker

94
00:06:29,743 --> 00:06:31,610
is edged into position.

95
00:06:33,943 --> 00:06:36,810
Well, man, I'd say
we about got her.

96
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:38,777
- Nice work.
- You too, man.

97
00:06:38,777 --> 00:06:41,610
She is in, get these belts rolling.

98
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:43,610
- Start throwing
some dirt at her.
- Yeah.

99
00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:53,043
Final task, fire up
Big Red's pump and deliver

100
00:06:53,043 --> 00:06:56,877
1500 gallons of water
a minute to the plant.

101
00:06:57,843 --> 00:06:59,276
Waiting on the water.

102
00:07:13,677 --> 00:07:15,209
We'll have to figure
out what's going on

103
00:07:15,209 --> 00:07:17,043
with Big Red's
water pump here.

104
00:07:17,043 --> 00:07:20,810
A lot of old components,
that water pump is...

105
00:07:20,810 --> 00:07:24,209
it's called Franken-pump
'cause it's a bunch
of different parts.

106
00:07:24,209 --> 00:07:26,109
No, it doesn't want
to play ball.

107
00:07:28,109 --> 00:07:30,643
Oh, I just heard some
air leaking.

108
00:07:30,643 --> 00:07:32,576
You can hear it, yeah.

109
00:07:32,576 --> 00:07:35,677
You can see we've got
a connection
in our suction hose,

110
00:07:35,677 --> 00:07:37,276
everything is taking
a beating here.

111
00:07:37,276 --> 00:07:38,910
We've got duct tape
on the suction hose

112
00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:41,576
and it's, uh, getting
pretty weathered.

113
00:07:41,576 --> 00:07:43,109
Yeah, that's a big guy here.

114
00:07:46,010 --> 00:07:49,343
We're going to need
to take a look at this.
We've got definite air leak.

115
00:07:57,910 --> 00:08:00,910
- What do we got?
- We've got an O-ring.

116
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:04,743
A faulty O-ring,
worth just a couple of bucks,

117
00:08:04,743 --> 00:08:07,010
is causing a loss of pressure,

118
00:08:07,010 --> 00:08:10,309
stopping the pump sending
water to the wash plant.

119
00:08:12,443 --> 00:08:14,943
Do we give her the flip
and try it?

120
00:08:14,943 --> 00:08:16,543
It's like when all
your laundry is dirty

121
00:08:16,543 --> 00:08:17,877
and you've got to make it
one more day.

122
00:08:17,877 --> 00:08:20,677
Just do the, turn the socks
inside out, right?

123
00:08:20,677 --> 00:08:22,243
Clean the side out.

124
00:08:22,243 --> 00:08:25,710
The O-ring
is damaged on just one side.

125
00:08:25,710 --> 00:08:27,777
We'll put the bad spot
at the bottom.

126
00:08:27,777 --> 00:08:30,410
Mitch hopes simply
turning it around

127
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:34,910
will create the airtight
seal the pump needs
to function.

128
00:08:34,910 --> 00:08:37,343
Once it gets water in
there, hopefully it'll, uh...

129
00:08:37,343 --> 00:08:39,109
- Fill it with grease?
- Yeah.

130
00:08:50,410 --> 00:08:53,076
We've got our water pump fired
up here for Big Red.

131
00:08:54,576 --> 00:08:55,743
Yes.

132
00:08:58,309 --> 00:09:00,877
Well, here we go,
the shaker deck's shaking,

133
00:09:00,877 --> 00:09:03,343
the conveyors are spinning,
time to throw some dirt at it.

134
00:09:05,576 --> 00:09:08,777
First bucket of pay on
the last cut for Big Red.

135
00:09:08,777 --> 00:09:09,943
Yeah, buddy.

136
00:09:32,610 --> 00:09:35,309
Right now,
we are in a war for gold.

137
00:09:35,309 --> 00:09:37,243
I set a massive goal
this season,

138
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,910
five times what
we got last season.

139
00:09:38,910 --> 00:09:41,043
That's what we need
to strive for.

140
00:09:41,043 --> 00:09:43,343
Third year
mine boss, Fred Lewis,

141
00:09:43,343 --> 00:09:46,476
has pulled in 93 ounces
of gold.

142
00:09:46,476 --> 00:09:50,143
And while he's well short
of his 500 ounce goal,

143
00:09:50,143 --> 00:09:52,910
he is closing in on
last season's total

144
00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:54,710
of 110 ounces.

145
00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:58,176
We've got pretty decent gold
right here in the Freedom Cut,

146
00:09:58,176 --> 00:10:01,010
but gold this season
has not been as good
as we had hoped.

147
00:10:04,510 --> 00:10:08,643
After hauling in
21 ounces,
their best gold weigh,

148
00:10:08,643 --> 00:10:13,643
Fred's crew believe
they have a shot at saving
their season.

149
00:10:13,643 --> 00:10:16,010
Last week we definitely hit
a pay streak 'cause

150
00:10:16,010 --> 00:10:17,877
that's the best gold weigh
we've had as a team.

151
00:10:17,877 --> 00:10:21,476
That is a great achievement
and our guys definitely got

152
00:10:21,476 --> 00:10:22,843
a boost in morale.

153
00:10:24,977 --> 00:10:27,143
You know, I've got everything
on the line right now.

154
00:10:27,143 --> 00:10:29,643
Just get every flake
of gold through that
wash plant

155
00:10:29,643 --> 00:10:32,309
and hopefully at the end
of the season,
pad my guys' pockets

156
00:10:32,309 --> 00:10:34,610
and get the [bleep] out
of here.

157
00:10:44,877 --> 00:10:47,276
Hey, Fred, what's up?

158
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:52,410
I'm coming to the mercy
of you.

159
00:10:53,510 --> 00:10:55,309
You know my door's just down.

160
00:10:55,309 --> 00:10:59,109
- So I'm coming to you to see
if you can help me out.
- Yeah.

161
00:10:59,109 --> 00:11:02,943
Last week,
23-year-old
Brandon Clayton suffered

162
00:11:02,943 --> 00:11:06,443
a major setback when
his D8 dozer died.

163
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:11,209
We need to get it fixed
or we're [bleep].

164
00:11:13,176 --> 00:11:18,410
Earlier
in the season, Brandon lent
his dozer to Fred.

165
00:11:19,843 --> 00:11:22,276
If you can let me borrow that,
I'll let you use my dozer

166
00:11:22,276 --> 00:11:23,877
once it gets here,
kind of desperate.

167
00:11:23,877 --> 00:11:26,309
Right. Yeah. Okay.

168
00:11:26,309 --> 00:11:27,843
- I really appreciate it.
- Sure.

169
00:11:29,877 --> 00:11:33,109
Now, Brandon's
cashing in the favor.

170
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:36,510
I think right now we can
let you use it for a day.

171
00:11:36,510 --> 00:11:37,977
- Okay.
- We owe you that one time.

172
00:11:37,977 --> 00:11:39,510
I'm going to give it
to you for free.

173
00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:41,743
- Just understand we've got
to be super careful with it.
- Yeah.

174
00:11:41,743 --> 00:11:43,576
Got to take care
of that puppy.

175
00:11:48,943 --> 00:11:51,176
We waited so long
to get this thing

176
00:11:51,176 --> 00:11:54,743
and to loan it out,
it should be used

177
00:11:54,743 --> 00:11:57,877
on our cut, not someone
else's cut right now.

178
00:11:57,877 --> 00:12:01,043
I'm making a decision to honor
our deal with the Claytons.

179
00:12:01,043 --> 00:12:03,777
I know they're our rivals
and we do have a bet going,

180
00:12:03,777 --> 00:12:05,209
but, you know, we make deals.

181
00:12:05,209 --> 00:12:06,710
You've got to live up to them.

182
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:08,376
This is about being
a man of my word.

183
00:12:08,376 --> 00:12:11,910
Whether or not my guys agree
this is a good idea,

184
00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:14,076
it could help us later
on down the road.

185
00:12:19,710 --> 00:12:21,576
I can't wait to start
stripping Golden Acres.

186
00:12:21,576 --> 00:12:23,343
We're ready to [bleep] go.

187
00:12:23,343 --> 00:12:26,710
This dozer is definitely
a bit bigger than ours,

188
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:30,777
but it's quite the unit, man.

189
00:12:30,777 --> 00:12:32,443
It's definitely an antique.

190
00:12:32,443 --> 00:12:36,977
It's basically a museum
on track, so you've got
to be pretty careful with it.

191
00:12:37,476 --> 00:12:38,777
We'll try her out

192
00:12:39,743 --> 00:12:41,376
and we'll hope for the best.

193
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:57,376
Oh, [bleep]. What the
going on there?

194
00:13:05,610 --> 00:13:07,209
Oh, well, that's not good.

195
00:13:08,743 --> 00:13:11,076
Well, I'm going to have
to walk it back to the plant,

196
00:13:11,076 --> 00:13:13,576
this carrier roller
has swamped.

197
00:13:13,576 --> 00:13:15,510
And I can't run it like that.

198
00:13:15,510 --> 00:13:16,977
Fred's probably not
going to be happy,

199
00:13:16,977 --> 00:13:19,743
but we'll see what
he has to say, I guess.

200
00:13:19,743 --> 00:13:22,543
Hopefully they're not too mad.
I know it's their baby.

201
00:13:35,510 --> 00:13:39,376
I don't want to say I told you
so to Fred, but I told you so.

202
00:13:39,376 --> 00:13:41,743
I mean, I'm mad
that it's broke.

203
00:13:41,743 --> 00:13:43,510
I'm not a happy camper at all.

204
00:13:44,977 --> 00:13:48,443
Less than
three hours after
Fred's crew loaned

205
00:13:48,443 --> 00:13:51,576
their only dozer
to neighbor Brandon Clayton,

206
00:13:51,576 --> 00:13:54,610
it's been returned, busted.

207
00:14:05,209 --> 00:14:09,276
Carrier rollers
smoothly guide
the dozer's tracks,

208
00:14:09,276 --> 00:14:12,076
but the pedestal
that supports one
of the rollers

209
00:14:12,076 --> 00:14:13,943
is cracked,

210
00:14:13,943 --> 00:14:17,376
causing the carrier roller
to fall out of position

211
00:14:17,376 --> 00:14:21,010
and the track to become
dangerously loose.

212
00:14:21,010 --> 00:14:23,877
If we had to call a mechanic
to come in and fix this,

213
00:14:23,877 --> 00:14:25,943
as you're looking at
probably here in the Yukon.

214
00:14:25,943 --> 00:14:29,410
Probably right around
like 165 bucks an hour,

215
00:14:30,810 --> 00:14:33,677
which would be a pretty
big cost.

216
00:14:33,677 --> 00:14:35,476
It'll be a few grand
to fix this up.

217
00:14:43,743 --> 00:14:46,843
Buzz will have to
source a replacement pedestal

218
00:14:46,843 --> 00:14:49,376
to get the dozer back
up and running.

219
00:14:51,043 --> 00:14:52,543
Come here and look here.

220
00:14:55,376 --> 00:14:56,943
See that pan?

221
00:14:56,943 --> 00:14:58,309
- Yeah.
- Right?

222
00:14:59,376 --> 00:15:00,743
How's it going, guys?

223
00:15:00,743 --> 00:15:04,476
- Well, slowly.
- Holy [bleep].

224
00:15:04,476 --> 00:15:06,610
- The, uh...
- Isn't there supposed
to be something here?

225
00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:08,410
So this wasn't
a little fix, was it?

226
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:10,443
Not really.

227
00:15:10,443 --> 00:15:12,376
This is at the worst case
scenario for us.

228
00:15:12,376 --> 00:15:14,010
This is our moneymaker.

229
00:15:14,010 --> 00:15:16,209
Without this, we're [bleep].

230
00:15:16,209 --> 00:15:18,276
A lot of ground ahead
that needs to be stripped

231
00:15:18,276 --> 00:15:20,276
and torn and ripped up, and...

232
00:15:21,943 --> 00:15:25,510
I just... we can't afford
having this dozer down.

233
00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:28,943
- Yeah.
- With the broken
dozer taking Buzz and JB out

234
00:15:28,943 --> 00:15:31,677
of the cut, the crew
can't deliver fresh pay

235
00:15:31,677 --> 00:15:33,543
to the plant.

236
00:15:33,543 --> 00:15:37,610
We've got to have
to bite the hard bullet here
and shut the plant down.

237
00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:40,010
This is my finances.
This is my home.

238
00:15:40,010 --> 00:15:41,777
This is everything
my family's put into it.

239
00:15:41,777 --> 00:15:43,076
But right now we're [bleep].

240
00:15:43,076 --> 00:15:44,243
Shut it down.

241
00:15:52,543 --> 00:15:54,476
- Hey, Stuart.
- Yo.

242
00:15:54,476 --> 00:15:56,843
- I need your assistance.
- What are we doing?

243
00:15:56,843 --> 00:16:01,209
Ah, I guess a little
good cop, bad cop.

244
00:16:01,209 --> 00:16:03,810
- Okay.
- I just talked to Buzz
about the dozer.

245
00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:05,176
Oh, yeah, what is
going on with it?

246
00:16:05,176 --> 00:16:09,343
It's still not fixed.
We're analyzing this
whole transaction

247
00:16:09,343 --> 00:16:12,043
with Brandon, and, uh...

248
00:16:12,043 --> 00:16:13,910
we're going to have to go tell
him he can't use it anymore.

249
00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:17,176
To me this is really tricky
because we're still trying
to build a relationship

250
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:19,777
with Brandon.
We're still trying to be
the better neighbors here.

251
00:16:19,777 --> 00:16:21,276
Oh, yeah.
I fully agree with it.

252
00:16:21,276 --> 00:16:23,943
You know, I mean,
we were kind of just being
the good neighbor,

253
00:16:23,943 --> 00:16:26,610
and he was in a really,
really bad spot where

254
00:16:26,610 --> 00:16:29,643
his season was actually at
the point where it might
be over,

255
00:16:29,643 --> 00:16:31,777
and we lent our helping hand,

256
00:16:31,777 --> 00:16:33,276
and we kind of got
for it.

257
00:16:33,276 --> 00:16:36,109
- Let me lead.
We'll play it soft.
- Mm-hmm.

258
00:16:36,109 --> 00:16:38,677
- If he gives us any tension,
we'll just bring up the facts
- Yeah.

259
00:16:38,677 --> 00:16:40,410
and be like, look,
this isn't personal.

260
00:16:40,410 --> 00:16:42,209
- Yeah.
- This is a business decision.

261
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:44,209
- Uh-huh.
- We're still here to
help when we can,

262
00:16:44,209 --> 00:16:46,143
- Yeah.
- but we can't help you
with the dozer anymore.

263
00:16:46,143 --> 00:16:48,176
- Yeah, absolutely.
- All right?
All right, let's do it.

264
00:17:06,443 --> 00:17:09,777
I started this season,
came up here
to shut down the mine,

265
00:17:09,777 --> 00:17:11,343
sell these claims,

266
00:17:12,010 --> 00:17:15,677
and now we're mining again.

267
00:17:15,677 --> 00:17:19,443
Veteran miner
Dave Turin is throwing
the dice

268
00:17:19,443 --> 00:17:22,376
one more time before
he hangs up

269
00:17:22,376 --> 00:17:24,209
his gold mining boots.

270
00:17:25,610 --> 00:17:28,743
He wants to prove his claim
has 10 years' worth

271
00:17:28,743 --> 00:17:34,376
of mining with the potential
to produce $10 million
worth of gold.

272
00:17:38,309 --> 00:17:41,877
So I have to prove
that this place is not a dud,

273
00:17:41,877 --> 00:17:44,209
and I got to prove it
to Nathan and Jason that

274
00:17:44,209 --> 00:17:47,143
there's virgin ground
with gold on it.

275
00:17:47,143 --> 00:17:51,043
Dave hopes
to sell it to his most
loyal crew members,

276
00:17:51,043 --> 00:17:55,877
operator Jason Sanchez
and mechanic Nathan Clark,

277
00:17:55,877 --> 00:17:57,977
for $1 million.

278
00:17:57,977 --> 00:18:00,476
You know, I've always wanted
to run my own operation.

279
00:18:00,476 --> 00:18:03,543
It's a risk, but we can pull
a good gold right here,

280
00:18:03,543 --> 00:18:04,910
and it can be life-changing.

281
00:18:10,843 --> 00:18:14,943
Team Turin wants 30 ounces
from the Three Amigos

282
00:18:14,943 --> 00:18:18,643
cut to prove the ground,
cover costs,

283
00:18:18,643 --> 00:18:20,743
and pocket some gold,

284
00:18:20,743 --> 00:18:25,443
but so far they've banked
less than six ounces.

285
00:18:25,443 --> 00:18:30,677
You know, for three guys,
5.58 ounces, it's not bad.

286
00:18:30,677 --> 00:18:33,309
In the end, I want everybody
to walk out of here with gold

287
00:18:33,309 --> 00:18:36,143
in their pockets to help cover
the costs and the costs

288
00:18:36,143 --> 00:18:38,043
of coming up here to shut
the claims down,

289
00:18:38,043 --> 00:18:40,576
but I need the gold
to keep coming.

290
00:18:43,743 --> 00:18:47,576
Dave's convinced
there's much larger
gold deposits

291
00:18:47,576 --> 00:18:49,376
still to be discovered.

292
00:18:49,376 --> 00:18:51,777
We go deep. We're starting
to hit those big rocks.

293
00:18:51,777 --> 00:18:53,109
That's where
the gold's living.

294
00:19:00,510 --> 00:19:03,843
To help convince
Jason and Nathan to buy,

295
00:19:03,843 --> 00:19:06,677
Dave is also throwing
into the deal

296
00:19:06,677 --> 00:19:10,410
his half a million-dollar
wash plant, the Eagle.

297
00:19:12,677 --> 00:19:16,010
Remote-controlled
with tank-like tracks,

298
00:19:16,010 --> 00:19:19,943
it's capable of sluicing
180 yards an hour,

299
00:19:19,943 --> 00:19:23,910
making it a mean, lean,
all-terrain,

300
00:19:23,910 --> 00:19:26,710
money-making machine.

301
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:30,677
I do know what
it takes to come into
a mine empty-handed,

302
00:19:30,677 --> 00:19:32,076
and that's not the case here.

303
00:19:32,076 --> 00:19:37,410
We would buy the wash plant,
pumps, excavators, loader.

304
00:19:37,410 --> 00:19:40,109
Basically, this is
a turnkey operation.

305
00:19:43,376 --> 00:19:45,977
Jason digs pay
in the excavator.

306
00:19:49,777 --> 00:19:52,810
Dave and Nathan haul
the pay to the wash plant.

307
00:19:54,143 --> 00:19:58,209
This is the first time
I've ever mined
with this few a guys,

308
00:19:58,209 --> 00:20:01,576
so, you know, it kind of goes
to show

309
00:20:01,576 --> 00:20:04,643
if you got some competent,
really good people,

310
00:20:04,643 --> 00:20:06,643
you can do it with
a small crew.

311
00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:10,610
It kind of proves
to those guys, too,

312
00:20:10,610 --> 00:20:12,843
that if they want to buy
this, they could,

313
00:20:12,843 --> 00:20:16,677
you know, work on this
with a small crew.

314
00:20:16,677 --> 00:20:19,443
It's really cheap.
We'll pull some decent
numbers out of here.

315
00:20:19,443 --> 00:20:22,443
As long as the ground
pays out, we'll do all right.

316
00:20:22,443 --> 00:20:25,043
I'm a happy, happy, happy boy
right now.

317
00:20:27,576 --> 00:20:30,677
Jason's getting into
some big rocks right now.

318
00:20:33,376 --> 00:20:36,677
Okie-dokie, here comes
the big rocks.

319
00:20:36,677 --> 00:20:39,343
I hope we find a lot of gold
with all that big rocks.

320
00:20:40,176 --> 00:20:42,843
Me, too.
I'm hoping, hoping, hoping.

321
00:20:42,843 --> 00:20:44,410
This is going to be
so exciting.

322
00:20:48,610 --> 00:20:50,443
You hate to throw those
kind of rocks

323
00:20:50,443 --> 00:20:52,343
on your wash plant,
but there should be

324
00:20:52,343 --> 00:20:54,376
a lot of big gold around
those big rocks,

325
00:20:54,376 --> 00:20:55,877
so that's what
we're hoping for.

326
00:21:16,643 --> 00:21:19,610
This conveyor quit, Nate.
I'm not sure what's up.

327
00:21:22,443 --> 00:21:24,209
The belt conveyor stopped.

328
00:21:24,209 --> 00:21:27,476
- Did he just say
the belt stopped?
- Aw, [bleep].

329
00:21:34,677 --> 00:21:35,977
Just one big one?

330
00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:41,643
Looks like we got a rock
in the tail pulley.

331
00:21:44,109 --> 00:21:47,877
is in there,
something fierce, y'all.

332
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:54,010
The coarse
tailing's conveyor is jammed.

333
00:21:55,810 --> 00:21:58,343
A rock is wedged
between the belt

334
00:21:58,343 --> 00:22:00,677
and the pulley that
rotates the conveyor.

335
00:22:05,410 --> 00:22:06,576
There you are.

336
00:22:10,410 --> 00:22:12,076
She's got to be almost out.

337
00:22:12,076 --> 00:22:13,610
- Keep prying?
- No, hold--

338
00:22:13,610 --> 00:22:14,643
Okay.

339
00:22:14,643 --> 00:22:17,109
We're going to have
to loosen the belt,

340
00:22:17,109 --> 00:22:19,943
try to spin that tail pulley
in the belt,

341
00:22:19,943 --> 00:22:21,510
so it'll kick that rock out.

342
00:22:28,243 --> 00:22:32,109
Dave has to spin
the tail pulley by hand.

343
00:22:37,176 --> 00:22:39,143
- Keep loosening?
- Yeah, no you're good.

344
00:22:39,143 --> 00:22:40,810
- Good?
- She's moving.

345
00:22:46,010 --> 00:22:47,309
Ah, got her.

346
00:22:49,677 --> 00:22:50,777
Man.

347
00:22:54,209 --> 00:22:55,410
Okay.

348
00:22:55,410 --> 00:22:57,443
So this is the rock
that was wedged in there,

349
00:22:57,443 --> 00:23:00,843
but the way it was wedged
was bound into that belt

350
00:23:00,843 --> 00:23:03,276
so much that we couldn't
get it to roll

351
00:23:03,276 --> 00:23:06,543
or flip to the flat point
to get it to come out.

352
00:23:12,209 --> 00:23:13,777
- Hey, Jason.
- Yes, sir?

353
00:23:13,777 --> 00:23:17,010
- Come here.
- There's some
little pieces in there.

354
00:23:17,010 --> 00:23:18,710
It sure looks like it,
doesn't it?

355
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:20,243
I'll bet that's gold.

356
00:23:22,376 --> 00:23:25,309
- Now that's gold.
- Without a doubt, 100%.

357
00:23:25,309 --> 00:23:29,410
This rock broke open

358
00:23:29,410 --> 00:23:31,143
and there's a little bit
of gold in it.

359
00:23:31,143 --> 00:23:33,010
So we're going to hang on
to that one.

360
00:23:33,010 --> 00:23:34,610
Fire the plant up.

361
00:23:35,610 --> 00:23:36,810
Eagle coming on.

362
00:24:00,543 --> 00:24:03,443
It's kind of frustrating,
we are really limited

363
00:24:03,443 --> 00:24:05,243
on the amount of time
that we're going to be here.

364
00:24:05,243 --> 00:24:07,343
I need to get gold right now.

365
00:24:18,109 --> 00:24:22,143
I knew that loaning out
the dozer was probably
a risk,

366
00:24:22,143 --> 00:24:24,209
but it's caused us
to lose some gold

367
00:24:24,209 --> 00:24:26,543
at this point
and some sluicing.

368
00:24:26,543 --> 00:24:29,777
Fred Lewis'
wash plant has been shut down

369
00:24:29,777 --> 00:24:33,843
for 24 hours after
Brandon Clayton damaged

370
00:24:33,843 --> 00:24:35,209
his dozer,

371
00:24:35,209 --> 00:24:38,209
leaving Fred unable to strip ground

372
00:24:38,209 --> 00:24:41,677
and access new pay
to feed the plant.

373
00:24:55,843 --> 00:24:57,109
Brandon.

374
00:24:59,977 --> 00:25:02,043
I wanted to come over
and talk about the dozer.

375
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:03,376
Yeah, sorry
about that.

376
00:25:05,276 --> 00:25:07,309
But I don't think we can let
you guys borrow it anymore.

377
00:25:08,643 --> 00:25:11,109
- And it's not personal.
- Right.

378
00:25:11,109 --> 00:25:12,910
I don't want to be
a bad neighbor,

379
00:25:12,910 --> 00:25:15,376
- Yeah.
- but at the same time,
I've got to run the business

380
00:25:15,376 --> 00:25:17,843
and I just don't see us
having time to let you
borrow it again.

381
00:25:17,843 --> 00:25:20,343
- Right.
- It's just I can't afford
to be down again.

382
00:25:20,343 --> 00:25:21,943
Do you guys need help
fixing it? Or...

383
00:25:21,943 --> 00:25:23,677
Right now we've got
the part.

384
00:25:23,677 --> 00:25:25,543
- Buzz is going to get it up
and running today,
- All right.

385
00:25:25,543 --> 00:25:26,476
so we're good.

386
00:25:26,476 --> 00:25:27,777
Yeah, yeah, that's cool.

387
00:25:27,777 --> 00:25:29,743
I mean, we didn't mean
to make it break either.

388
00:25:29,743 --> 00:25:31,010
No, no.

389
00:25:31,010 --> 00:25:32,343
Water under the bridge, bro.

390
00:25:34,410 --> 00:25:36,076
All right, I'll get out
of your hair.

391
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:37,243
- See you later.
- Later, brother.

392
00:25:37,243 --> 00:25:38,777
See you, dude.
See you, Stuart.

393
00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:50,710
This carrier roller
pedestal, it got busted off
all twisted up,

394
00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:53,443
so I had to drive to the other
side of the territory.

395
00:25:53,443 --> 00:25:56,710
This took me all
freaking day to get it.

396
00:25:56,710 --> 00:26:01,309
And now we're... I'll be in
the process of getting it
back on.

397
00:26:01,309 --> 00:26:03,209
To get the dozer up
and running,

398
00:26:03,209 --> 00:26:05,810
Buzz sourced
a replacement pedestal

399
00:26:05,810 --> 00:26:09,010
150 miles away in Keno.

400
00:26:09,010 --> 00:26:10,677
Unfortunately, when
this happened,

401
00:26:10,677 --> 00:26:11,843
three bolts broke.

402
00:26:11,843 --> 00:26:15,943
The convenience of normal life
isn't really here.

403
00:26:15,943 --> 00:26:19,443
You end up doing
a lot of bush fixes.

404
00:26:19,443 --> 00:26:21,910
We don't really have
time to [bleep] around.

405
00:26:25,243 --> 00:26:29,710
First, he needs
to place the new pedestal
back on the frame.

406
00:26:37,410 --> 00:26:39,176
Oh, it looks good.

407
00:26:39,743 --> 00:26:41,576
This is a pedestal.

408
00:26:41,576 --> 00:26:45,410
Then secure
the carrier roller
onto the pedestal.

409
00:26:48,010 --> 00:26:50,109
Everybody watch your toes.

410
00:26:56,510 --> 00:26:57,943
It's heavy.

411
00:26:59,877 --> 00:27:01,510
We're just going
to lock her down.

412
00:27:06,643 --> 00:27:10,109
Bolt down
the pedestal with
the one remaining bolt.

413
00:27:10,109 --> 00:27:13,777
So I'll just get the one bolt
that I can put in, in,

414
00:27:13,777 --> 00:27:16,643
weld it down, and get to work.

415
00:27:16,643 --> 00:27:18,877
And weld it
to the frame.

416
00:27:23,443 --> 00:27:25,910
After I weld it,
things should be good to go.

417
00:27:31,043 --> 00:27:32,443
Buzz...

418
00:27:33,276 --> 00:27:35,810
- how's it going?
- Don't slam it around.

419
00:27:35,810 --> 00:27:37,243
Everything should be fine.

420
00:27:37,243 --> 00:27:39,109
That's why you're the only one
driving it.

421
00:27:39,109 --> 00:27:40,309
That's right.

422
00:27:40,309 --> 00:27:42,643
So what are you looking at
for time now to get her going?

423
00:27:42,643 --> 00:27:43,877
What time is it?

424
00:27:43,877 --> 00:27:45,710
Like, six o'clock.

425
00:27:46,376 --> 00:27:47,710
6:15.

426
00:27:47,710 --> 00:27:49,977
Oh, I like that. Okay. Good.

427
00:27:49,977 --> 00:27:51,910
'Cause we've got to get going.
We're running out of time.

428
00:27:51,910 --> 00:27:54,410
You know, it's going
to start freezing at night
before we know it here.

429
00:27:54,410 --> 00:27:55,677
- Yeah.
- Love it.

430
00:27:57,810 --> 00:27:58,977
All good.

431
00:28:00,176 --> 00:28:02,677
Hey, now I've got this puppy
all welded up.

432
00:28:03,910 --> 00:28:06,109
Is it going to start?

433
00:28:21,243 --> 00:28:23,810
That's the shiznit
right there.

434
00:28:26,443 --> 00:28:27,877
There we go.

435
00:28:36,510 --> 00:28:37,777
Fire it up.

436
00:28:43,209 --> 00:28:45,543
Sluice is back up
and running again.

437
00:28:48,476 --> 00:28:49,643
We got water.

438
00:29:01,343 --> 00:29:03,443
Seeing that wash plant up
and running right now means

439
00:29:03,443 --> 00:29:04,610
the world to us.

440
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:06,443
Without somebody like Buzz,
who is always willing

441
00:29:06,443 --> 00:29:09,977
to fix problems and go
the extra mile to make happen,

442
00:29:09,977 --> 00:29:11,343
it wouldn't be possible.

443
00:29:11,343 --> 00:29:14,843
So right now, the heartbeat
of our operation's up
and running.

444
00:29:14,843 --> 00:29:17,576
Got to keep it running
if we're going to achieve
that goal we have.

445
00:29:17,576 --> 00:29:18,843
It's on.

446
00:29:29,209 --> 00:29:31,576
We've been running these
wash plants hard all year,

447
00:29:31,576 --> 00:29:33,843
but we're going to run them
the hardest right now,

448
00:29:33,843 --> 00:29:35,777
right to the finish line.
That's it down there.

449
00:29:35,777 --> 00:29:37,877
Hopefully there's a little
gold in this ground here.

450
00:29:39,877 --> 00:29:42,376
At Parker's
Indian River claim,

451
00:29:42,376 --> 00:29:45,610
foreman Mitch Blaschke
is trying to sluice a mountain

452
00:29:45,610 --> 00:29:49,276
of pay dirt before
the end of the season.

453
00:29:49,276 --> 00:29:54,710
With wash plants Big Red
and Sluicifer both
running 24/7.

454
00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:57,710
To keep the plants fed,
Mitch has elevated

455
00:29:57,710 --> 00:29:59,710
one of his green crew members

456
00:29:59,710 --> 00:30:02,543
from a rock truck to a loader.

457
00:30:02,543 --> 00:30:04,977
We got Evan, trying to train
him up because

458
00:30:04,977 --> 00:30:07,743
he's a young guy
that's really enthusiastic,

459
00:30:07,743 --> 00:30:09,576
wants to be out here learning
the machines

460
00:30:09,576 --> 00:30:12,877
and how to do things,
and he's got a great attitude.

461
00:30:23,176 --> 00:30:25,677
Mitch asked if I wanted
to do some loader today

462
00:30:25,677 --> 00:30:26,943
and I was like...

463
00:30:26,943 --> 00:30:30,710
yeah I do,
that's great.

464
00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:35,076
19-year-old
Evan Kurtz came to
the Klondike Goldfields

465
00:30:35,076 --> 00:30:37,877
in the hope of rising
in the ranks.

466
00:30:37,877 --> 00:30:41,343
When I'm learning new things
I get kind of nervous

467
00:30:41,343 --> 00:30:44,576
and stressful just because
I don't want to
up anything,

468
00:30:44,576 --> 00:30:48,610
but, yeah, there's a lot more
responsibility in a loader.

469
00:30:48,610 --> 00:30:52,243
You've got to be mindful
of everyone around you.

470
00:30:52,243 --> 00:30:56,043
Evan on a loader, I think
he was born for that.

471
00:30:56,043 --> 00:31:00,309
A loader is probably
the hardest thing
to drive

472
00:31:00,309 --> 00:31:04,343
because it's a constant
feeling it.

473
00:31:04,343 --> 00:31:06,910
We'll make a miner out
of him, that's for sure.

474
00:31:14,943 --> 00:31:17,209
Oh [bleep].

475
00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:20,610
What the [bleep] is going on?

476
00:31:21,276 --> 00:31:23,209
Tyson, you got a copy, Tyson?

477
00:31:23,209 --> 00:31:26,309
There's a bunch of rocks
in the sluice runs.

478
00:31:26,309 --> 00:31:28,010
We're going to go ahead
and shut her down.

479
00:31:30,943 --> 00:31:31,943
Hit it!

480
00:31:40,576 --> 00:31:43,877
Parker's due back from Alaska,

481
00:31:43,877 --> 00:31:46,309
Big Red's down, we have
no gold coming in,

482
00:31:46,309 --> 00:31:48,943
no money coming in,
but a lot going out.

483
00:31:48,943 --> 00:31:50,810
We really need to try
and hammer this out

484
00:31:50,810 --> 00:31:53,576
and get it done.
Get this fired back up.

485
00:32:08,410 --> 00:32:10,643
Oh, we got Big Red down
this morning,

486
00:32:10,643 --> 00:32:14,176
it's got a lot of large
material going down
the sluice rung.

487
00:32:15,643 --> 00:32:18,677
At Parker Schnabel's
Airstrip claim,

488
00:32:18,677 --> 00:32:21,943
Mitch and Tyson have had
to shut down Big Red

489
00:32:21,943 --> 00:32:25,610
after Evan spotted rocks
in the sluice runs.

490
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:27,643
I'm just going to take
a look at it.

491
00:32:27,643 --> 00:32:30,343
You know, you see all
these here?

492
00:32:30,343 --> 00:32:32,010
That means we have
a blown out screen

493
00:32:32,010 --> 00:32:34,276
and it's got to be a pretty
big hole for rocks this size

494
00:32:34,276 --> 00:32:36,710
to be coming in and when
the rocks land in spots

495
00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:38,376
like this, it'll create
dead spots where

496
00:32:38,376 --> 00:32:40,476
the gold isn't being caught, so...

497
00:32:40,476 --> 00:32:42,076
As you can tell the runs
are littered in rocks,

498
00:32:42,076 --> 00:32:44,343
so I'm going to have
to go and hand pick
all these out

499
00:32:44,343 --> 00:32:46,777
and get up in the screen deck
and change that screen.

500
00:32:50,576 --> 00:32:52,209
You know the material
that we're running right now,

501
00:32:52,209 --> 00:32:54,376
as you can see
from the tailings here

502
00:32:54,376 --> 00:32:56,610
is really sharp,
aggressive rock,

503
00:32:56,610 --> 00:32:59,343
so you think about
all that material working

504
00:32:59,343 --> 00:33:02,276
its way across this wash plant
hours and hours a day

505
00:33:02,276 --> 00:33:05,510
and, you know, these screens
are pretty thin to begin with

506
00:33:05,510 --> 00:33:08,410
and then when you go
and work that material
over the top,

507
00:33:08,410 --> 00:33:10,677
eventually it cuts
through 'em, so we're going
to remove

508
00:33:10,677 --> 00:33:11,810
the old screen,

509
00:33:11,810 --> 00:33:14,777
bring the new one in,
get her bolted back up.

510
00:33:17,109 --> 00:33:20,476
The screen deck
meshing separates large rocks

511
00:33:20,476 --> 00:33:24,343
from the finer pay dirt
allowing the gold rich material

512
00:33:24,343 --> 00:33:26,076
to drop through the screens.

513
00:33:27,677 --> 00:33:32,743
But if the screen breaks,
the large rocks fall through
as well.

514
00:33:32,743 --> 00:33:35,810
Once in the sluices,
the rocks block the flow

515
00:33:35,810 --> 00:33:39,510
of water, stopping the riffles
from catching the gold

516
00:33:39,510 --> 00:33:42,076
and washing it out of the end
of the box.

517
00:33:46,910 --> 00:33:48,243
You see it?

518
00:33:48,243 --> 00:33:51,243
Yeah we've got
a bad screen here.
Check that one out the bottom.

519
00:33:54,576 --> 00:33:56,276
Yeah just like that.

520
00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:04,977
It's looking good.

521
00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:12,910
So this is our screen
that we just pulled out

522
00:34:12,910 --> 00:34:16,010
and as you can see,
it's supposed to just have
half inch size holes here,

523
00:34:16,010 --> 00:34:18,243
but once these break,
real big rocks.

524
00:34:18,243 --> 00:34:19,977
They make their way
into the sluice box.

525
00:34:22,209 --> 00:34:24,109
It's been a fight getting
Big Red set up,

526
00:34:24,109 --> 00:34:27,209
but, hopefully,
the fight is over.

527
00:34:27,209 --> 00:34:29,309
- She's fixed.
- Time to fire it up.

528
00:34:29,309 --> 00:34:30,376
It's a good feeling.

529
00:34:41,610 --> 00:34:43,610
You know if Evan hadn't
have spotted this,

530
00:34:43,610 --> 00:34:45,209
more and more material
would have built up

531
00:34:45,209 --> 00:34:47,910
in the sluice runs until
we're doing all this work.

532
00:34:47,910 --> 00:34:50,343
We're washing all
these rocks, but we're not
catching any gold.

533
00:34:51,877 --> 00:34:54,910
Running the plant
by myself knowing that

534
00:34:54,910 --> 00:34:57,276
they trust me to do so.

535
00:34:57,276 --> 00:35:01,209
It's a big step up
and I'm really happy
to be taking it right now.

536
00:35:09,877 --> 00:35:11,443
Just need to keep working
everything on that--

537
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:13,510
- Hello, guys.
- What up baby?

538
00:35:13,510 --> 00:35:15,777
You got our baby back
in action?

539
00:35:15,777 --> 00:35:17,010
Back up and rolling.

540
00:35:17,010 --> 00:35:18,877
Well, it looks like
you got her turned up.

541
00:35:18,877 --> 00:35:20,877
She's cranking through
the dirt right now

542
00:35:20,877 --> 00:35:23,276
But, man, it just feels
good to have Big Red
back up and running.

543
00:35:23,276 --> 00:35:25,209
Yeah, but you guys got
that done in a hurry.

544
00:35:25,209 --> 00:35:26,543
So that's the final stretch,

545
00:35:26,543 --> 00:35:29,343
we just gotta hunker in
and keep feeding it, huh?

546
00:35:29,343 --> 00:35:32,510
I mean it's pretty wild,
you look down there
and that's the property line.

547
00:35:32,510 --> 00:35:35,276
Definitely a pretty
ambitious season

548
00:35:35,276 --> 00:35:37,943
and thank you, guys,
for making it happen.

549
00:35:48,510 --> 00:35:50,543
We're getting gold,
so that's a good thing.

550
00:35:50,543 --> 00:35:54,043
We got bigger rocks
which means bigger gold

551
00:35:54,043 --> 00:35:55,843
and things are working well.

552
00:35:55,843 --> 00:35:59,643
It's the three amigos,
you just got three
guys working.

553
00:36:02,443 --> 00:36:06,810
Dave Turin is on
a mission to prove
his Glacier Creek claim

554
00:36:06,810 --> 00:36:09,443
is worth its million
dollar price tag

555
00:36:09,443 --> 00:36:12,576
to potential buyers,
Jason and Nathan.

556
00:36:13,643 --> 00:36:15,877
Now if it's profitable,
I don't know,

557
00:36:15,877 --> 00:36:18,410
so you get the gold
on the scale,

558
00:36:18,410 --> 00:36:20,276
it'll make a big decision
on what we're gonna do

559
00:36:20,276 --> 00:36:22,076
if we're gonna buy
this property.

560
00:36:32,276 --> 00:36:34,643
You know, it's going really,
really smooth right now

561
00:36:34,643 --> 00:36:37,510
and that's the scary part,
nothing ever goes smooth
in mining.

562
00:36:38,209 --> 00:36:39,977
Yeah, bring me some pay, Nate.

563
00:36:47,076 --> 00:36:48,743
Oh,

564
00:36:48,743 --> 00:36:52,543
- Nate...
- I, uh, conveyor quit again.

565
00:36:52,543 --> 00:36:54,309
- Kill it, kill it,
kill it, kill it, kill it.
- What?

566
00:36:55,010 --> 00:36:56,276
Kill it, kill it, Jason.

567
00:36:58,376 --> 00:37:01,710
piece of

568
00:37:04,810 --> 00:37:07,576
The coarse tailings
belt has jammed...

569
00:37:08,010 --> 00:37:09,309
once again.

570
00:37:15,476 --> 00:37:20,476
Well, we thought we fixed it,
but we didn't fix it.

571
00:37:20,476 --> 00:37:24,877
Once again, we got
a bunch of [bleep] rocks
in the tail port.

572
00:37:26,677 --> 00:37:29,476
Dave must now clear
the rocks by hand.

573
00:37:38,243 --> 00:37:40,977
Rocks coming off conveyor,
is everybody clear?

574
00:37:45,176 --> 00:37:47,010
That moved a [bleep] ton.

575
00:37:51,576 --> 00:37:53,276
Let me clear the belt out, Dave.

576
00:37:54,376 --> 00:37:55,610
Clear.

577
00:38:00,710 --> 00:38:04,109
It's just a piece of rubber
that keeps flopping open

578
00:38:04,109 --> 00:38:07,276
and the rocks get down
and then they fall into
the tail place.

579
00:38:08,376 --> 00:38:10,043
Yeah it's just wear on
the machine,

580
00:38:10,043 --> 00:38:12,043
it wears the rubber out
and then what happens

581
00:38:12,043 --> 00:38:14,977
is you create a little hole
and the little rocks
get in there.

582
00:38:14,977 --> 00:38:17,943
Pretty soon it grows,
now you got a problem.

583
00:38:17,943 --> 00:38:21,977
When you run a million rocks
over rubber,

584
00:38:21,977 --> 00:38:24,309
the rock will always win.

585
00:38:24,309 --> 00:38:26,443
So right now,
we're patching that hole.

586
00:38:29,076 --> 00:38:32,643
A rubber flap
on the edge of the belt
has worn out.

587
00:38:32,643 --> 00:38:35,309
Instead of steering rocks
up the conveyor,

588
00:38:35,309 --> 00:38:39,010
the flaps ripped open,
allowing rocks
to fall through,

589
00:38:39,010 --> 00:38:40,910
jamming the tail pulling.

590
00:38:43,076 --> 00:38:46,643
To get the Eagle back up
and running as fast
as possible,

591
00:38:46,643 --> 00:38:49,710
the team fix a rubber patch
across the gap.

592
00:38:58,943 --> 00:39:01,910
We're fixed, see if
runs that way.

593
00:39:01,910 --> 00:39:04,010
Yeah, you want to turn it on.
Make sure everything's good?

594
00:39:04,010 --> 00:39:04,910
Yeah.

595
00:39:17,376 --> 00:39:19,610
Dave's back
in the game,

596
00:39:19,610 --> 00:39:22,476
but the shutdowns
have cost him eight hours

597
00:39:22,476 --> 00:39:24,543
in vital sluicing time.

598
00:39:24,543 --> 00:39:29,010
Now all he can do is hope
this spot pays out.

599
00:39:29,010 --> 00:39:31,209
You know, Jason and Nathan
want to see some gold.

600
00:39:31,209 --> 00:39:32,643
We're going to try
to find that.

601
00:39:43,843 --> 00:39:46,043
I've been cleaning gold
all day.

602
00:39:46,043 --> 00:39:47,510
About time to take a break.

603
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:51,076
Chris Doumitt
celebrates his 71st birthday

604
00:39:51,076 --> 00:39:53,843
working on his golf handicap.

605
00:39:56,743 --> 00:39:58,076
Too far.

606
00:40:03,977 --> 00:40:05,610
Oh, just short.

607
00:40:06,343 --> 00:40:07,343
Ah...

608
00:40:17,209 --> 00:40:20,209
Yeah, hole in one, baby.

609
00:40:20,209 --> 00:40:22,410
Don't touch that, it's hot.

610
00:40:25,443 --> 00:40:26,543
Nailed it.

611
00:40:36,677 --> 00:40:38,343
- Hey, Shell.
- Hi, guys.

612
00:40:41,176 --> 00:40:43,043
Tell me it looks great.

613
00:40:43,043 --> 00:40:45,410
I was thinking
it was going to be
a bit more than that.

614
00:40:45,410 --> 00:40:47,943
So what do we got on
in the box, Nate?

615
00:40:47,943 --> 00:40:49,209
About 20 hours on it.

616
00:40:49,209 --> 00:40:51,576
100 yards an hour,
there's 2,000 yards

617
00:40:52,443 --> 00:40:53,710
right there.

618
00:40:53,710 --> 00:40:57,977
Last week,
Team Turin ran 1,400 yards

619
00:40:57,977 --> 00:41:01,343
delivering 5.58 ounces.

620
00:41:01,343 --> 00:41:03,677
This week they've mined deeper,

621
00:41:03,677 --> 00:41:07,510
hitting bigger rocks and Dave
thinks they should pull in

622
00:41:07,510 --> 00:41:10,877
significantly more than
their last weigh.

623
00:41:10,877 --> 00:41:12,143
Now, let's weigh it up.

624
00:41:13,943 --> 00:41:18,176
One, two, three...

625
00:41:18,943 --> 00:41:21,443
four, five, there's six...

626
00:41:23,243 --> 00:41:25,610
6.86 ounces.

627
00:41:27,910 --> 00:41:30,843
Worth $11,000.

628
00:41:32,443 --> 00:41:33,510
Shoot.

629
00:41:34,010 --> 00:41:35,243
For fudge sakes.

630
00:41:35,243 --> 00:41:38,309
- Explain that.
- Just not a lot of gold.

631
00:41:38,309 --> 00:41:40,877
I was hoping
for double figures.

632
00:41:44,309 --> 00:41:46,510
The way I understand it
and what all the old timers

633
00:41:46,510 --> 00:41:49,376
have told me, every time
there's a storm,

634
00:41:49,376 --> 00:41:53,010
it's depositing gold
and this river
is flushing it down.

635
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:56,076
The river continually
is depositing gold.

636
00:41:56,076 --> 00:41:58,143
I believe that, Dave,
but I hate to say it,

637
00:41:58,143 --> 00:42:01,643
it's not financially feasible
for us to try and wait for it

638
00:42:01,643 --> 00:42:04,243
to deposit enough for us
to make money off of it.

639
00:42:04,243 --> 00:42:06,343
Really if you look at
everything that we have

640
00:42:06,343 --> 00:42:09,076
in front of us, you might
not be able to sell this
for 20 years, Dave.

641
00:42:11,810 --> 00:42:15,476
I just don't know this
is where I want to be.

642
00:42:16,743 --> 00:42:18,076
I really don't.

643
00:42:18,076 --> 00:42:22,143
I had said I'd follow Dave
to the end.

644
00:42:22,143 --> 00:42:24,443
Well, that could be the end.

645
00:42:24,443 --> 00:42:26,410
I hate to say it,
it's somewhat embarrassing.

646
00:42:26,410 --> 00:42:30,043
I do believe there's
virgin ground under there.

647
00:42:30,043 --> 00:42:32,010
I think we're going to get
a lot better gold

648
00:42:32,010 --> 00:42:36,877
down deeper and we're only at,
what, 12 or 15 feet?

649
00:42:36,877 --> 00:42:38,877
So that's what
we're going to do.

650
00:42:38,877 --> 00:42:42,276
I mean it's one last push,
try to prove to Jason

651
00:42:42,276 --> 00:42:44,877
and Nathan that
there's good gold
down deeper.

652
00:42:57,276 --> 00:42:59,777
You know, guys, this week's
been a little bit tough.

653
00:42:59,777 --> 00:43:03,643
- Oh.
- I'm kind of happy to see gold
in the bottle here.

654
00:43:03,643 --> 00:43:05,076
Um...

655
00:43:05,076 --> 00:43:07,777
I'm going to apologize
to you two, JB and Buzz,

656
00:43:07,777 --> 00:43:08,977
about the dozer.

657
00:43:08,977 --> 00:43:11,076
I'm going to leave you and JB
in charge of who uses that

658
00:43:11,076 --> 00:43:13,443
and when they use it
from now on, I'm not going
to have any say.

659
00:43:17,710 --> 00:43:19,143
Problem solved.

660
00:43:19,943 --> 00:43:21,443
Oh, Buzz.

661
00:43:21,443 --> 00:43:23,109
Obviously I still think
it was a good idea

662
00:43:23,109 --> 00:43:25,810
to let Brandon borrow it,
but we learned our lesson.

663
00:43:25,810 --> 00:43:29,209
1800 yards is all we really
ran this week because of it.

664
00:43:29,209 --> 00:43:31,010
It is what it is, right?

665
00:43:31,010 --> 00:43:32,476
You want to count
this one out?

666
00:43:32,476 --> 00:43:37,309
Despite all
the setbacks, Fred is just
17 ounces short

667
00:43:37,309 --> 00:43:40,843
of his last season total
of 110 ounces.

668
00:43:40,843 --> 00:43:45,910
One, three, four, five, six, seven...

669
00:43:47,476 --> 00:43:55,243
ten, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18.02.

670
00:43:55,243 --> 00:44:00,376
Worth over $30,000
bringing their season haul

671
00:44:00,376 --> 00:44:02,543
to 111 ounces,

672
00:44:02,543 --> 00:44:05,410
surpassing last year's total.

673
00:44:05,410 --> 00:44:08,810
If they can just keep running,
they still have a shot

674
00:44:08,810 --> 00:44:12,843
of hitting
their 500 ounce season goal.

675
00:44:12,843 --> 00:44:14,877
At this point,
we're paying the bills.

676
00:44:14,877 --> 00:44:18,209
We're paying back debt
and I think if we hadn't
have [bleep] up

677
00:44:18,209 --> 00:44:21,476
with letting our dozer go down
and had that down time,

678
00:44:21,476 --> 00:44:22,910
imagine how much more
we'd have.

679
00:44:22,910 --> 00:44:24,309
We might have beaten
our personal best.

680
00:44:24,309 --> 00:44:25,476
Yeah.

681
00:44:25,476 --> 00:44:28,476
So, keep this gold coming in.

682
00:44:43,443 --> 00:44:44,410
How's your week been?

683
00:44:44,410 --> 00:44:46,543
Nice to have two plants up
and running again.

684
00:44:46,543 --> 00:44:48,743
Yeah, definitely.
It's been a long time coming

685
00:44:48,743 --> 00:44:50,543
- getting Big Red going.
- Yeah, really.

686
00:44:50,543 --> 00:44:52,810
We got two of them
running again.
How good is that?

687
00:44:52,810 --> 00:44:54,010
Hopefully we can
keep it running.

688
00:44:54,010 --> 00:44:55,610
Hey, Parker.

689
00:44:55,610 --> 00:44:57,810
- Hey, man.
- Happy birthday.

690
00:44:57,810 --> 00:44:59,877
Oh, my gosh.
For me? Thanks.

691
00:45:02,443 --> 00:45:04,376
It's an ashtray.

692
00:45:04,376 --> 00:45:07,343
- Oh. Is it real gold?
- It's our gold.

693
00:45:07,343 --> 00:45:10,143
- Are you kidding me?
- No.

694
00:45:11,176 --> 00:45:13,343
Holy cow.

695
00:45:13,343 --> 00:45:15,543
- Oh, my gosh.
- Happy birthday.

696
00:45:15,543 --> 00:45:16,777
Thank you.

697
00:45:16,777 --> 00:45:19,877
So, everything's made
out of gold from here.

698
00:45:20,476 --> 00:45:22,309
A golden ashtray.

699
00:45:22,710 --> 00:45:24,877
Holy cow.

700
00:45:24,877 --> 00:45:27,810
You guys can expect something
similar in 30 years,

701
00:45:27,810 --> 00:45:31,043
40 years.

702
00:45:31,043 --> 00:45:33,109
- 695.
- Yeah.

703
00:45:33,109 --> 00:45:36,109
Worth $12,000.

704
00:45:36,109 --> 00:45:37,943
Seems like saying thank you
is not enough.

705
00:45:37,943 --> 00:45:40,209
You're everybody's friend
out here, you know?

706
00:45:40,209 --> 00:45:42,076
- Yeah.
- And we all really
appreciate that.

707
00:45:42,076 --> 00:45:43,777
- Thank you.
- And that's from the crew.

708
00:45:43,777 --> 00:45:45,043
Oh, thank you.

709
00:45:45,043 --> 00:45:47,243
Got Big Red set up

710
00:45:47,243 --> 00:45:49,910
and just got it up and going.

711
00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:51,877
So, Big Red didn't get
a whole lot of run time?

712
00:45:51,877 --> 00:45:53,209
Day and a half.

713
00:45:53,209 --> 00:45:54,376
Oh. Oh, yeah.

714
00:45:54,376 --> 00:45:56,176
- Want to see?
- Sure.

715
00:45:56,176 --> 00:46:00,576
Now, it's time
for the first gold
from the Runway cut.

716
00:46:04,376 --> 00:46:05,977
Ten. There we go.

717
00:46:05,977 --> 00:46:07,143
Twenty.

718
00:46:09,343 --> 00:46:14,209
Thirty, 40, 51.6.

719
00:46:15,076 --> 00:46:18,810
Worth
nearly $90,000.

720
00:46:18,810 --> 00:46:22,410
But if they can run
Big Red for a full week,

721
00:46:22,410 --> 00:46:25,276
it could deliver half
a million.

722
00:46:26,510 --> 00:46:29,309
And Sluicifer's been purring
right along, too.

723
00:46:29,309 --> 00:46:31,743
There's been no majors
on that, so...

724
00:46:31,743 --> 00:46:33,743
we got a good number here, T.

725
00:46:33,743 --> 00:46:37,576
Sluicifer has been
running dirt from
the payback cut.

726
00:46:37,576 --> 00:46:41,143
The last clean-up produced
210 ounces.

727
00:46:41,143 --> 00:46:42,643
We're ready. Let's do it.

728
00:46:42,643 --> 00:46:45,109
Twenty, 40...

729
00:46:46,743 --> 00:46:49,376
150, 200,

730
00:46:51,777 --> 00:46:54,476
300, 330,

731
00:46:56,209 --> 00:46:58,943
336.05.

732
00:46:58,943 --> 00:47:00,843
- It's not bad.
- Not at all.

733
00:47:01,977 --> 00:47:06,510
Worth
nearly $600,000.

734
00:47:06,510 --> 00:47:08,076
Now you get Big Red
to do that too,

735
00:47:08,076 --> 00:47:09,710
and we'll have some
pretty nice weeks.

736
00:47:09,710 --> 00:47:11,977
Well, are
you guys happy to be done
moving wash plants?

737
00:47:11,977 --> 00:47:13,910
- Yeah.
- It's a lot of work,
that's for sure,

738
00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:16,076
but you know,
to have Big Red there,

739
00:47:16,076 --> 00:47:18,309
and, I mean, you look at
the property lines,

740
00:47:18,309 --> 00:47:19,710
right there, we're at it.

741
00:47:19,710 --> 00:47:22,343
So now it's a matter of just
getting all that dirt through

742
00:47:22,343 --> 00:47:24,576
these plants,
and pretty crazy,

743
00:47:24,576 --> 00:47:26,677
like, you look at how many
miles of ground
we've gotten through

744
00:47:26,677 --> 00:47:27,810
over the years,

745
00:47:27,810 --> 00:47:30,376
and to be at the last
little bit of it.

746
00:47:30,376 --> 00:47:31,910
Sluice it or lose it.

747
00:47:31,910 --> 00:47:33,276
Okay. Thanks, fellas.

748
00:47:33,276 --> 00:47:35,376
- No problem,
see you guys later.
- Thank you.

749
00:47:35,376 --> 00:47:37,209
That is totally...
he hammered all of that.

750
00:47:37,209 --> 00:47:38,510
Don't take it to Vegas.

751
00:47:38,510 --> 00:47:41,643
No. Thanks, Parker.

752
00:47:41,643 --> 00:47:43,710
It's good to have two plants
back up and running.

753
00:47:43,710 --> 00:47:46,109
Um...

754
00:47:46,109 --> 00:47:48,309
You know, we've still got
a lot of ground
to get through,

755
00:47:48,309 --> 00:47:50,677
and not a lot of season left
to do it in, so...

756
00:47:50,677 --> 00:47:51,710
Come on.

757
00:47:53,576 --> 00:47:56,109
So, hopefully we can
just keep them going,

758
00:47:56,109 --> 00:47:59,010
but that gets more
and more difficult

759
00:47:59,010 --> 00:48:00,710
as the year drags on.
