00:05:31I just want to go to work
00:05:34I just want to wash rocks
00:05:36And you know
00:05:39Get sluicy goosey for the tiny shiny
00:05:41That's all I want to do
00:05:42I did not
00:05:45I have not told you how to do your job
00:05:47One time this whole year
00:05:49Just 16 years old
00:05:51When he first became a mind boss
00:05:53I'm pretty young
00:05:54And it's tough to
00:05:55You know
00:05:57I never know if I'm doing the right thing or not
00:06:00Parker struggled
00:06:01I'm spending the money here and I make the calls
00:06:04To manage his crew
00:06:05If you can't handle it then
00:06:07Maybe this isn't the place for you
00:06:09You are making an enemy out of me
00:06:12But as the young miner grew
00:06:14In gold mining you're only as good as the people you have
00:06:17He evolved
00:06:19Oh yeah
00:06:22Look at that
00:06:23Our season starts now
00:06:25I'll stand behind him any day of the week
00:06:27With a vision that spawned
00:06:29A gold mining empire
00:06:31Wow
00:06:32That's the biggest clean out we've ever had
00:06:34And delivered
00:06:36More than 115 million dollars in gold
00:06:40This does not stop here
00:06:42I'm losing faith in you guys
00:06:47But last season
00:06:49It's been one fight after the next
00:06:52We're not making money when we're doing it like this
00:06:55It's frustrating
00:06:56I know what we were doing was wrong
00:06:58Parker crashed and burned
00:07:01Worst cleanup ever
00:07:04I don't like this feeling
00:07:08I don't like being a loser
00:07:11We came up short
00:07:13And it's not going to happen again
00:07:15This winter I have spent all the money I can get my hands on
00:07:20Buying equipment and hiring people
00:07:23It's a challenge
00:07:25This is kind of uncharted territory for me
00:07:28So much going on
00:07:29We just have to hammer down
00:07:32Focus on washing rocks
00:07:36Filling jars
00:07:37And everybody's going to have to step up
00:07:4040 miles southeast of Dawson City
00:07:45Lies Parker's Kingdom
00:07:47An area nearly the size of Manhattan
00:07:50His main operation is Dominion Creek
00:07:54Land he's bought
00:07:56Where he'll run three wash plants
00:07:58To deliver the bulk of his gold
00:08:0025 miles northwest
00:08:03He'll send a satellite crew to Sulphur Creek
00:08:06To hunt for pockets of gold
00:08:08Left behind by the old timers
00:08:10Running the enormous operation
00:08:14Will cost Parker $100,000 each day
00:08:19But if he's successful
00:08:21He could bring in more than
00:08:23$35 million in gold this year
00:08:26What's happening man?
00:08:31How are you guys?
00:08:32Yo yo
00:08:32Doing good, how are you?
00:08:34Not too bad
00:08:35Welcome to my map room
00:08:37Very nice
00:08:38Swear it all happens, eh?
00:08:41How was your winter?
00:08:43It was good
00:08:43I was a bum for the most part
00:08:47To execute his master plan
00:08:51Parker's counting on his trusted lieutenants
00:08:54Mitch Blaschke
00:08:55And Tyson Lee
00:08:57We're going to do 10,000 ounces this year
00:08:59Like, we keep talking about it
00:09:06But we actually have to just do it
00:09:07So, we're going to run four plants this year
00:09:11Wow
00:09:13Trying to run four wash plants
00:09:15It's like
00:09:16We were all over the place last year
00:09:17Trying to cover our bases
00:09:19And like
00:09:20We're going to be spread out
00:09:22You know how it is when that happens
00:09:23Yeah
00:09:24I know
00:09:25I know that there's going to be a lot of challenges
00:09:26I'm not
00:09:28I don't disagree with you
00:09:29Tyson
00:09:31I need you on Dominion
00:09:33Running a whole operation
00:09:34Right
00:09:37So, good luck
00:09:39Thanks
00:09:40I'll need it
00:09:41I don't know what's going to come out of sulfur
00:09:45And it's going to be a difficult project
00:09:47So, I need you to go over there, Mitch
00:09:49And get that sorted out first
00:09:50We only have a partial season on the water license
00:09:55So, we need to get it done in a hurry
00:09:56Parker's sulfur water license
00:10:00A permit to pull water from creeks to wash gold
00:10:04Expires in just 10 weeks
00:10:06After that
00:10:07He can't mine the claim
00:10:10So, what kind of crew do we have to get this done?
00:10:13We've hired a bunch of new people
00:10:15Okay
00:10:16One big thing
00:10:18Is people who can't do their job
00:10:20We need to fire
00:10:21We want to have the best of the best
00:10:23But
00:10:24You guys are the ones
00:10:26That are going to be able to make this happen or not
00:10:28It's brutal, right?
00:10:29It's going to be a stressful year for you two
00:10:36Yeah
00:10:38I know it's a bit of a daunting task
00:10:42But, like, I'm excited
00:10:43It's going to be exhausting
00:10:44Yeah
00:10:44No days off
00:10:45You just had six months off
00:10:47Yeah
00:10:49Thanks for coming back
00:10:53Yeah
00:10:53I appreciate having you guys here
00:10:55Thank you
00:10:55And I'm looking forward to this season
00:10:56Yeah, for sure
00:10:57Thanks, man
00:10:57Alright, let's do it
00:10:58There's a lot of work to do
00:11:03There's a lot of gold to find
00:11:04Now it's up to Mitch and Tyson
00:11:07To get the job done
00:11:08Hopefully
00:11:10The job will get done
00:11:14Hopefully it's the two of them that does it
00:11:16Is what I mean
00:11:17Things are already starting off
00:11:23A little bit different here
00:11:24Parker made it very clear
00:11:26That, you know
00:11:27Everybody's got to pull their weight
00:11:28And then some
00:11:29We've got no room for air
00:11:31Last year Mitch was in charge
00:11:35This year it's going to be on my shoulders
00:11:37Last year I was managing one wash plant
00:11:40This year
00:11:40I'm going to be managing three
00:11:42So no f*** ups
00:11:44We've got to find
00:11:45A f*** ton of gold
00:11:47Tyson's first mission
00:11:52Is to start pulling in gold
00:11:54On Dominion's bridge cut
00:11:55The crew has spent two years
00:11:59Mining this spot
00:12:00With mixed results
00:12:02Now
00:12:03Parker's season rides on it
00:12:06Delivering big
00:12:07But there's a problem
00:12:09Over winter
00:12:10Water flooded the cut
00:12:12And the gold-bearing pay dirt
00:12:15Is buried under three feet
00:12:18Of solid ice
00:12:19I'm in the 250
00:12:39Got Michael in the 390
00:12:42Coming to work for Parker
00:12:46It's kind of the dream come true
00:12:48I like the way he runs his outfit
00:12:50His gear is really nice
00:12:52We've got Amy here
00:12:57First truckload ice
00:12:58Heading out of the cut
00:12:59First of many
00:13:00This is my first time
00:13:04Driving a rock truck
00:13:07Before they can get to pay dirt
00:13:09Tyson's crew needs to shift
00:13:11Over 25,000 tons of ice
00:13:14I think realistically
00:13:26How the hell are we going to do
00:13:28All this in a week
00:13:29Right now I'd like to be
00:13:32Setting up the wash plant
00:13:33And firing it up today
00:13:35But we're a long ways
00:13:36Away from that
00:13:37How are things going?
00:13:48Well man, the ice is a lot
00:13:49Thicker than we thought, eh?
00:13:51Yeah, there's a lot of ice in here
00:13:53And it's really rotten
00:13:54So what's your plan?
00:13:57Just keep building
00:13:59Piles trucking off this ice
00:14:01Right
00:14:02Okay
00:14:04We have extra trucks in the yard, no?
00:14:07You got any more people?
00:14:09Any more iron you can give us?
00:14:17I don't know
00:14:18Okay
00:14:20Thanks, dude
00:14:23No worries
00:14:24See ya
00:14:25If by the end of the week
00:14:36I don't have the ice out of this cut
00:14:37And the wash plant going
00:14:39I'll have failed my first task
00:14:41First week of the season
00:14:42Parker just wants the ice out
00:14:45And the wash plant going
00:14:46The long and short of it
00:14:48I don't really want to spend money
00:14:53Trucking ice
00:14:55But we really don't have much
00:14:58Of an alternative
00:14:59So we're just going to have to
00:15:01Suck it up
00:15:02We need to get sleuthing
00:15:04That's going to be what makes
00:15:06Or breaks the season
00:15:07Yeah, here we go
00:15:32I can't believe we're sleuthing
00:15:34As early as we are
00:15:35We started the season early
00:15:38But we want to keep that up
00:15:40Everybody's in their eyes
00:15:42Ten miles south
00:15:44At Indian River
00:15:45King of the Klondon
00:15:47Tony Beetz
00:15:48Is already two weeks
00:15:50Ahead of his rivals
00:15:51Tony's hoping for a quick score
00:16:04From the 13 acre early bird cut
00:16:07If the gold price stays where it is
00:16:11And we sleuthing most of the summer
00:16:13Like we did last year
00:16:14Darn thing
00:16:15F*** me
00:16:16You're going to make enough money
00:16:17To set up three generations
00:16:19When there's opportunities there
00:16:22Grab it
00:16:2340 years ago
00:16:25Tony and wife Minnie
00:16:26Left the Netherlands
00:16:28To seek their fortune
00:16:29In the Yukon
00:16:31All we have was 300 bucks
00:16:32I work 14 hours a day
00:16:34Every f***ing day
00:16:35From nothing
00:16:37Tony grew a 60 million dollar
00:16:40Mining dynasty
00:16:41I'm trying to build a future
00:16:43For my kids
00:16:44They got to take over
00:16:46They're going to have to run
00:16:46The circus all by themselves
00:16:48F***ing piece of s***
00:16:54I've never ever
00:16:56Never ever
00:16:57Had that much horse s*** here before
00:16:59Until two years ago
00:17:01There's six, seven million in the hole
00:17:04When the business
00:17:05Descended into chaos
00:17:07If I've ever seen the f*** up
00:17:08Then I'm looking at it
00:17:09His family fractured
00:17:11He's running it into the f***ing ground
00:17:13He told me
00:17:15This cat was going to be mine
00:17:17Oh really?
00:17:18Yeah
00:17:19Feeling a little shafted
00:17:22I shot down the plant
00:17:23You just quit
00:17:26You gotta be f***ing kidding me
00:17:27Every f***ing time
00:17:29I'll tell you what
00:17:32I won't give up that easy
00:17:34But the Klondike King
00:17:37Pulled his family together
00:17:40Our kids are really stepping up this year
00:17:42Keeping son Mike
00:17:44And daughter Monica
00:17:45Working for him
00:17:46I appreciate everything
00:17:47You're doing to help me
00:17:48Anything for family, Monica
00:17:49But giving eldest son Kevin
00:17:52The chance to set up his own operation
00:17:55How's that sound to you?
00:17:56That sounds very, very nice
00:17:57By the end of last season
00:18:00The more you make
00:18:01The better we like you make
00:18:03The Beats had reeled in a record
00:18:055,777 ounces
00:18:08Worth
00:18:0914.4 million dollars
00:18:13That sure is a hell of a lot better than last year
00:18:15It is not a time to sit back and enjoy
00:18:21It is a time to get your s*** together
00:18:23And get out there in the morning
00:18:25And make things happen
00:18:27You owe that to the next generation
00:18:29People can have money
00:18:31People can have a lot of things
00:18:32But kids and grandkids
00:18:36There's something that if you don't have that
00:18:38You don't have very much
00:18:39Tony believes his claims could deliver
00:18:45A jaw-dropping 6,500 ounces this season
00:18:49Worth more than 22 million dollars
00:18:52Hey guys
00:18:55Hello, sir
00:18:56How's it looking?
00:18:57Well
00:18:57Yellow
00:18:58Got yellow stuff
00:19:00Good thing we started early, Mike, huh?
00:19:02Yeah
00:19:03When the sun is shining
00:19:04You better be ready to make some hay
00:19:06Yeah
00:19:06Right?
00:19:07Especially at this price
00:19:08There you go
00:19:08Not only is Tony already sluicing
00:19:11He's the first to weigh out his gold
00:19:15I can always get more gold
00:19:17I cannot always get this price
00:19:19So let's wait a s*** and have a look at it
00:19:23All right
00:19:24Ready, set, go
00:19:26Let's wait a s*** and have a look at it
00:19:33At Indian River
00:19:34Tony Beetz is gambling on an early season score
00:19:38To cash in on record high gold prices
00:19:42There, ready, set, go
00:19:43Let's go
00:19:44He's already sluiced nearly half of the early bird cut
00:19:4950, 60, 70
00:19:51Which he's counting on to deliver at least 300 ounces
00:19:5590
00:19:56260
00:19:58290
00:19:59300
00:20:00Wow
00:20:02360
00:20:04390
00:20:06417
00:20:09And 56
00:20:10Ain't that a beaut
00:20:12That's pretty amazing
00:20:14In just two weeks
00:20:16The Beetz have pulled in
00:20:18One and a half million dollars
00:20:20I'd say it's a record for us
00:20:22That justifies as to what the f*** we're doing
00:20:24That's a lot of money right there
00:20:26If we can keep this up
00:20:29We go
00:20:30So, how have you planned out this summer?
00:20:35Mike, you're going to be on the hill as usual
00:20:37Monica, it would be nice if you could oversee
00:20:40In the gold room, cleaning the gold
00:20:41Sounds good to me
00:20:44But, because I was thinking
00:20:45You gave Kevin a bunch of help getting him going
00:20:48So, is there anything you're going to help us with?
00:20:54There is some opportunities out there
00:20:56Let's get these two places here going first
00:20:59And then we'll talk
00:21:00Not making any promises
00:21:02Until I have that in place
00:21:04Right?
00:21:06I'm okay with that
00:21:07You?
00:21:09There you go
00:21:09So, all hands on deck
00:21:11We've got to go
00:21:12I'm very interested to see
00:21:16What Tony was talking about
00:21:18In terms of other opportunities
00:21:20I think it's really cool
00:21:22That Kevin has gone out on his own
00:21:24But Michael's been
00:21:27Out here since he was 12
00:21:29Mike's really
00:21:31Chomping the bit to do more things
00:21:33Big picture goals
00:21:35I would like my own mind
00:21:36But right now it's not a priority
00:21:38I have a bunch of other
00:21:39I have to get done
00:21:40We'll see
00:21:40Mike and Monica
00:21:43They'll be acting about
00:21:44Getting started for themselves
00:21:46But right now
00:21:47We're busy other places
00:21:49So they're just going to have to hang in there
00:21:51For a little bit
00:21:51Anyway
00:21:53I never had that much gold
00:21:55That early
00:21:56A great start to the season
00:21:58100 miles away
00:22:18In Keno
00:22:19Rick Ness
00:22:20Yeah, that's a big pile of dirt
00:22:22Is sitting
00:22:22On a pile of gold
00:22:24At his Duncan Creek claim
00:22:26I would say there's probably
00:22:30Pretty damn close to 400 ounces
00:22:32Sitting there
00:22:32And right now
00:22:33That's worth over a million dollars
00:22:34And it's ready to go
00:22:36Our plant's sitting right there
00:22:37The bad news is
00:22:39Is we still don't have a water license
00:22:41And we can't touch this
00:22:42It blows my mind
00:22:44Rick's water license
00:22:46Essential to mining
00:22:48Still hasn't come through
00:22:50Until he gets it
00:22:52He can't mine Duncan Creek
00:22:55I almost don't even know
00:22:57If I should do this
00:22:58I'm thinking it would make me
00:23:01I'm thinking it would satisfy
00:23:02I'm thinking it would probably
00:23:02Just going to make me more mad
00:23:03Oh
00:23:09That's outrageous amount of gold
00:23:15In one pan
00:23:16I don't even know
00:23:18What the emotion is right now
00:23:19Normally I see a pan like that
00:23:21I might hit the f***ing roof
00:23:22This is
00:23:24That's unbelievable
00:23:26And we can't touch it
00:23:30Hit the butt patch
00:23:38Rick Ness
00:23:40I expected growing pains
00:23:41But this is f***ing outrageous
00:23:42Is a fighter
00:23:44Booyah
00:23:45With a small crew of buddies
00:23:48Paying them out
00:23:51Each season
00:23:52From his haul
00:23:53Here's one of those
00:23:54For each of you guys
00:23:54You guys earned it
00:23:55A miner for 13 years
00:23:58What?
00:23:59He's had highs
00:24:00That's like an ounce right there
00:24:01F*** them
00:24:02F*** everybody
00:24:03F*** yourselves
00:24:04And loads
00:24:05No
00:24:06No no no
00:24:07I don't know what else to do right now
00:24:09It's getting out of control
00:24:11Always
00:24:11On the brink
00:24:13Of losing it all
00:24:14That's one last farewell
00:24:15Kicking the balls
00:24:16But last season
00:24:19This is it
00:24:19Now this is all mine
00:24:21He bought his own ground
00:24:24Let's go
00:24:25Vegas Valley
00:24:26Here we go
00:24:27Woo
00:24:27Yeah
00:24:28Hit the jackpot
00:24:30And reeled in
00:24:314.5 million dollars
00:24:33In gold
00:24:34That's it
00:24:35I did it
00:24:36I've got some bad news
00:24:37Only
00:24:38To be gut punched
00:24:40We've got a big problem
00:24:41With the water license
00:24:42That's being approved
00:24:43And I can't guarantee
00:24:45You'll have the license
00:24:47Next year
00:24:47Without the water license
00:24:50You can't mind
00:24:50Now
00:24:59Rick must find a way
00:25:01To pull a rabbit
00:25:02Out of the hat
00:25:03Again
00:25:04What's up dudes
00:25:06Nice crutches
00:25:08Yeah you like Jose
00:25:09Good start
00:25:10With nowhere to mind
00:25:12Only half Rick's crew
00:25:15Has made it back
00:25:16For now
00:25:17Well
00:25:18You guys have seen it all
00:25:19You've seen the good
00:25:21You've seen the bad
00:25:22You've seen the
00:25:22Opportunity
00:25:24You've seen the setbacks
00:25:25It's a mess right now
00:25:27It's not just us
00:25:29I mean there's a lot of people
00:25:30Getting screwed
00:25:31There's no one
00:25:33Shutting the door
00:25:33Right now
00:25:33Saying that
00:25:34You know
00:25:34Your water license
00:25:35Is never coming in
00:25:35It's just tied up
00:25:37So what are we doing here
00:25:40With no water license
00:25:41It's not the only pile of gold
00:25:43Out here
00:25:44And that's why you're here
00:25:45We just have to find another one
00:25:46But it's not going to be
00:25:48On this ground
00:25:49And you know what
00:25:54Gold prices are
00:25:55A thousand dollars more an ounce
00:25:56Than when we left here
00:25:57Last year
00:25:58I mean that's
00:25:58Insanity
00:25:59This is not the year to quit
00:26:01No
00:26:01We need 1,800 ounces this year
00:26:04Yeah I know that
00:26:07Things seem down
00:26:08But you know what
00:26:09We are here
00:26:10And I am going to find us a spot
00:26:12At the end of the day
00:26:14That's what we're going to do
00:26:14But if this water license
00:26:16Comes through at any point
00:26:17This summer
00:26:18You bet your ass
00:26:18I want to move us back here
00:26:19I mean you haven't
00:26:21Let us down yet
00:26:22All right
00:26:23Hopefully Rick understands
00:26:29What he's doing here
00:26:29And hopefully wherever we're going
00:26:31Is going to be good
00:26:32I want to start moving some dirt
00:26:34These guys have stuck with me
00:26:36Through a lot
00:26:36And glad to see
00:26:37They're sticking with me
00:26:37Through this
00:26:38We will find a place to mine
00:26:39And we're going to make it work
00:26:41Okay
00:26:54Chelsea you ready?
00:26:56Ready
00:26:57Kaden you ready?
00:27:00Yep
00:27:00Ready
00:27:01All right then folks
00:27:02Screen Jack is turning on
00:27:03First time for the season
00:27:04Let's go
00:27:05First scoop of pay going in
00:27:17For the season
00:27:18Beauty
00:27:22At Scribner Creek
00:27:28Just like his father Tony
00:27:31Second year mine boss
00:27:33Kevin Beetz
00:27:34Is ahead of the pack
00:27:35Feels really good
00:27:36To sluice this early
00:27:37Especially after
00:27:38Last year
00:27:39It's nice to see it running
00:27:42So you want to look at some iron
00:27:48Do you?
00:27:48Can we have this one?
00:27:50Last season
00:27:50With a little help from dad
00:27:52Three, two, one
00:27:54Kevin plunged his life savings
00:28:00Into his own operation
00:28:02This is a big gamble
00:28:03So me and Faith
00:28:04Have to make this work
00:28:05That's looking really nice
00:28:07Kev
00:28:08So excited bud
00:28:09Overall I think
00:28:10It's a pretty good day
00:28:11But almost from the get go
00:28:14I'm trying to help you here
00:28:16And you're talking over me
00:28:17Tempers flared
00:28:19You can stop being an a**
00:28:20It's not fun to work with
00:28:23Until foreman Brennan Ruo
00:28:25took control of the crew
00:28:27You don't want to f***ing hear it
00:28:29I want this to be squash
00:28:30I just f***ing help
00:28:31And the cuts
00:28:33Yes, finally
00:28:36That's f***ing better
00:28:38So nice work
00:28:39Keep it going
00:28:40Helping them score
00:28:43That's a big old
00:28:44You're f***ing beautiful
00:28:46A big payday
00:28:47Pay money
00:28:48It's nice to be in the upswing
00:28:50Honestly
00:28:51We made the right call
00:28:56Getting away from Tony's
00:28:57I'm feeling really good
00:28:59About this year
00:28:59I think we're off
00:29:00To a strong start
00:29:01Which is good
00:29:03Because we have a big gold this year
00:29:052,000 ounces
00:29:06Figure may as well go double
00:29:08What we did last year
00:29:09Aim big
00:29:09And with gold prices
00:29:11Being as high as they are
00:29:12If there's any time
00:29:13To have a good
00:29:14Big year for gold totals
00:29:16It is this f***ing year
00:29:17Kevin's mission this year
00:29:19Is to double his gold target
00:29:21And cement his place
00:29:23As a mine boss
00:29:25In his own right
00:29:26So our mining plan
00:29:27We left ourselves a P-bank last year
00:29:29That way we have money coming in
00:29:31From day one
00:29:32So day one sluicing
00:29:38This is gonna hopefully continue on well
00:29:42Last year
00:29:44I was pretty frustrated out here
00:29:46With how much we're shutting down
00:29:49But Brennan
00:29:50He knows what he's doing
00:29:51It's nice that I'm getting back
00:29:55It's always good to have returners
00:29:57To know how things run
00:29:58And you know
00:29:59You can rely on
00:30:00And Brennan should be showing up soon
00:30:02Oh feels good to be back
00:30:08In the Yukon
00:30:09This feels like my second home
00:30:11Howdy stranger
00:30:21How's it going guys
00:30:22Not too f***ing bad
00:30:24Right on
00:30:24We're wondering where the f*** you're at
00:30:26Nice to see you pal
00:30:27So what's up
00:30:31We're starting to wonder
00:30:32We haven't heard from you in a bit
00:30:33So yeah
00:30:34I ended up getting a phone call there
00:30:42That I wasn't expecting to get
00:30:45Of another job offer
00:30:49And it was a pretty good job offer
00:30:57So I've leaned towards taking that position
00:31:01Who offered you the job?
00:31:12Well Parker ended up calling me there
00:31:14Which I was completely not expecting
00:31:16Same
00:31:18Yeah
00:31:21Really?
00:31:23Back with Parker?
00:31:24It was not
00:31:27You know
00:31:27There's just a few things in the offer
00:31:28That really align to what
00:31:30My future
00:31:31Where I kind of see myself
00:31:32Being in some goals
00:31:33That I have set
00:31:34You know what I mean?
00:31:35No
00:31:35I wish you at least told us earlier
00:31:40So that we can plan
00:31:41If I had have known
00:31:44A lot sooner
00:31:45I would have said it
00:31:46A lot sooner
00:31:47Right
00:31:47There's not really much
00:31:51We can offer you
00:31:51To get you back here
00:31:52This year I guess
00:31:53I've kind of already
00:31:54Agreed to it
00:31:55Well thank you for stopping by
00:32:04Telling us
00:32:04Okay guys
00:32:05You guys have a wicked season
00:32:07We'll see ya
00:32:08See ya
00:32:09Well then
00:32:142,000 ounces without the foreman
00:32:18Is going to be
00:32:19A bit more of a project then
00:32:22Isn't it?
00:32:23It is kind of hard
00:32:23To find someone
00:32:24With Brennan's experience
00:32:25That you can rely on
00:32:26If they're good
00:32:27They've got a job
00:32:28Maybe we should go poaching too
00:32:31Hmm
00:32:34We're down to the last bit of ice here
00:32:52In the bridge
00:32:52Once we get that out of here
00:32:54That means I can start
00:32:56Getting Bob ready to sluice
00:32:58Three days
00:33:01Into his ice moving marathon
00:33:03Tyson's under the gun
00:33:05Parker's given me
00:33:08And I've taken on
00:33:09More than I've ever taken on
00:33:12Working here before
00:33:13Can I do it?
00:33:14I don't know
00:33:15But
00:33:16Am I willing to find out?
00:33:18Yeah
00:33:18It could have cost me my job
00:33:19100%
00:33:20But I hope it doesn't
00:33:23If it does
00:33:26I'll be flipping burgers
00:33:27Come visit me at the drive-thru
00:33:28And yes
00:33:31I will be spitting in them
00:33:32A 25 mile drive
00:33:38Northwest
00:33:39I'm down here at Sulphur
00:33:41Just trying to get this cut
00:33:42Opened up
00:33:43This cut's 2,000 feet long
00:33:46They got probably big enough
00:33:48To land a small airplane on
00:33:50For a lot of miners
00:33:56This would be their whole season
00:33:57With multiple people working on it
00:33:59And right now I'm down here
00:34:00Jumping from the dozer
00:34:02To the excavator
00:34:03Back and forth ripping
00:34:04Mitch has a 2-acre strip
00:34:07To mine out
00:34:08In just 10 weeks
00:34:09Before Parker's water license
00:34:12Runs out
00:34:12If he fails
00:34:14He'll be forced
00:34:15To leave gold behind
00:34:17The time frame down here
00:34:18Is definitely my biggest concern
00:34:20This water license
00:34:21Is getting closer
00:34:23To expire by the minute
00:34:24And yet
00:34:25I'm the only one down here
00:34:27Who do we got here?
00:34:44Oh hey man
00:34:46What's up?
00:34:47Not much my friend
00:34:48How are you?
00:34:49Oh
00:34:50Busy
00:34:51Good to see you pal
00:34:53Come on
00:34:53I'll give you one
00:34:54Oh just don't let nobody
00:34:59Don't tell anybody that
00:34:59Yeah keep that
00:35:00Off their radio
00:35:01What's your plans?
00:35:05Well Parker poached me
00:35:06He sent me up here
00:35:08To come to work with you
00:35:08No way man
00:35:11Yeah buddy
00:35:12All right
00:35:14He said to me specifically
00:35:15You and Mitch
00:35:16Work so good together
00:35:17I want to get that band
00:35:18Back together
00:35:19That's the exact words
00:35:20Out of his mouth
00:35:21Dude that's awesome
00:35:21Yeah
00:35:22I can't believe
00:35:23You didn't tell me
00:35:23Brennan and Mitch
00:35:28That's the last scoop
00:35:29Yeah
00:35:30Were mining buddies
00:35:32On Parker's
00:35:33Scribner Creek claim
00:35:35Yeah buddy
00:35:36Yeah
00:35:37Nice work
00:35:38Yeah you too man
00:35:39They became co-foremen
00:35:41That is perfect
00:35:42And a bromance blossomed
00:35:44Are we good
00:35:45What a nice feeling
00:35:47Brennan hurry up
00:35:48You've had five days
00:35:50To get this done
00:35:51Sakes
00:35:52You're in charge
00:35:54Or are you not in charge
00:35:55Until five years ago
00:35:56When Brennan quit
00:35:58After falling out
00:36:00With Parker
00:36:01So over this
00:36:02Man
00:36:03Dude we've moved
00:36:05A lot of dirt
00:36:06And this year
00:36:07Let me tell you what
00:36:07We got more than ever
00:36:09I could certainly
00:36:10Use some help
00:36:11Well that's what I'm here for
00:36:12You can jump in the dozer
00:36:14We just gotta rip this edge
00:36:15I'm gonna start
00:36:15Throwing everything back
00:36:16Okay well I'm excited buddy
00:36:18Time to boost the dirt
00:36:27Dude it's unreal
00:36:33To have you back here
00:36:34Christmas came early
00:36:35In all the years
00:36:38I've been gone
00:36:39I've missed working
00:36:40With you every
00:36:40Day of it buddy
00:36:42Oh you're probably back
00:36:43Cause you heard
00:36:44We got taco
00:36:44Tuesday
00:36:45You did mention
00:36:47You guys got
00:36:48A really good cook
00:36:49So that was
00:36:49A big plus for me
00:36:50Oh that looks like Parker
00:36:59How's it going
00:37:08Hey welcome back
00:37:10Thanks pal
00:37:11Okay
00:37:13The whole sulfur project
00:37:14Is kind of an interesting
00:37:15One because it's
00:37:16Really hard to see
00:37:17What is pay
00:37:19And what is waste
00:37:20What you're really
00:37:21Looking for is
00:37:22Virgin banks
00:37:23Or like virgin
00:37:24Sections
00:37:27This to me
00:37:29Looks like virgin
00:37:30Still
00:37:30Right
00:37:31So you're forced
00:37:34To pan
00:37:35Your way through it
00:37:36And see what's going on
00:37:38This is a totally
00:37:40Different type of mine
00:37:41Than this
00:37:41See
00:37:41Three quarters of a century ago
00:37:46Old timers used a dredge
00:37:48To mine sulfur creek
00:37:50Pulling out
00:37:51More than
00:37:511.2 billion dollars
00:37:54In gold
00:37:55But in its wake
00:37:56It left a mystery
00:37:58Floating in a self-made pond
00:38:01The dredge
00:38:02Traveled its way
00:38:03Down the valley
00:38:04Sluicing from one side
00:38:06To the other
00:38:07But above the waterline
00:38:09The high banks
00:38:10Were out of reach
00:38:11So gold
00:38:13Was left untouched
00:38:14And where the dredge
00:38:17Turned
00:38:17It covered up pockets
00:38:19Of gold rich
00:38:20Virgin ground
00:38:21With worthless tailings
00:38:23Making sulfur
00:38:24A potential treasure trove
00:38:27Of hidden gold
00:38:28If
00:38:31They can find it
00:38:32It's just going to take
00:38:34Some time to figure out
00:38:35Like I would be
00:38:36Panning pretty constantly
00:38:37Perfect
00:38:39Sounds good to me
00:38:40Okay
00:38:42We got so much water
00:38:49Coming through here
00:38:49We got all this material
00:38:51We need to start
00:38:52Moving it over
00:38:52We need it dry
00:38:53If we start just
00:38:54Working this
00:38:55It's just going to get
00:38:56Wetter and wetter
00:38:57We're not dredging
00:38:59So I want to just
00:39:01Focus on the ditch here
00:39:02Yeah okay
00:39:04I mean I agree with you
00:39:05But I just
00:39:05What about Parker
00:39:07You know
00:39:07Yeah but
00:39:08I mean if we just
00:39:10Start digging in here
00:39:10We're going to be
00:39:11Working underwater
00:39:12Despite Parker's rush
00:39:14To find the gold
00:39:16Mitch ignores his
00:39:17Orders to pan
00:39:18And decides to dig a
00:39:20Ditch to drain the water
00:39:22The first thing
00:39:23We got to do
00:39:23And we're going to do
00:39:24Is get rid of this water
00:39:25Alright
00:39:25It's going really good
00:39:34I've got the ditch
00:39:37You know all the way
00:39:38To the top end of this cut
00:39:39Which was 2,000 feet long
00:39:41And the cut's starting
00:39:43To drain out
00:39:43At Sulphur Creek
00:39:46Mitch has defied
00:39:49Parker's orders
00:39:50To hunt for virgin
00:39:51Hotspots
00:39:52And is ditching
00:39:53Instead
00:39:54Parker's plan on
00:39:56Coming down today
00:39:56And doing some
00:39:57Panning here
00:39:58But we got a lot
00:40:00Of material
00:40:00That's still got to
00:40:01Be moved here
00:40:01Before it's ready
00:40:02To help Parker
00:40:02Have a look at this
00:40:04And see what he
00:40:04Wants to do
00:40:05I was hoping to have
00:40:16All this ready
00:40:16By now
00:40:17What the
00:40:21Are you doing
00:40:22Well
00:40:24This is not good
00:40:25What's happening
00:40:28Thought you might
00:40:31Need some panning
00:40:32But I take it
00:40:34Not right now
00:40:35Yeah
00:40:36Most important thing
00:40:38Just trying to get
00:40:39Rid of the water
00:40:39Here
00:40:40So we can actually
00:40:40Move the dirt
00:40:41We got a pretty
00:40:42Good system down
00:40:43We're just trying
00:40:45To get that corner
00:40:45Cleaned out
00:40:46And then we'll be
00:40:46Ready for it
00:40:48There's a lot of
00:40:52Work to do here
00:40:53I mean
00:40:54I just got
00:40:55Brendan yesterday
00:40:56So
00:40:56There are two options
00:41:04Find some virgin ground
00:41:06Or else
00:41:08You can leave
00:41:09That's a waste of
00:41:15Off him
00:41:16Yeah
00:41:19Ah
00:41:21You know gold can buy a lot of things but it can't buy patience and the higher the prices go
00:41:36You know the less of that there seems to be around here
00:41:39Parker wants things done in a certain way and order and I get that it's his business
00:41:44It's his company
00:41:45You know I've moved a lot of dirt up here and you know I'm confident in what I'm doing
00:41:50Got the ditches down
00:41:52We got the cut drain in
00:41:53And you know
00:41:55In my opinion that's the right move
00:41:57I just wasted
00:41:59Two hours
00:42:00We just need to get panning
00:42:04It's my first week back on the job
00:42:10Haven't worked for Parker for over five years now
00:42:12And you know he's already pissed off
00:42:14This is the type of
00:42:16That made me leave the last time
00:42:17A hundred miles east
00:42:32We're going to have to pull the trigger on something otherwise we're going to miss this whole season
00:42:35Still waiting for his water license
00:42:38And desperate for somewhere to mine
00:42:40Rick's on his way to prospect new ground at a nearby claim
00:42:44Lightning Creek
00:42:46You can go to any mine out here and listen to the guy tell you how much gold's on the property
00:42:50But which one's telling the truth
00:42:51Not a single f***ing one of them
00:42:53So if we're going to get any answers up there it's going to be our own
00:42:56Rick's mining in the Keno Mountains has been boom or bust
00:43:01The unpredictable ground almost bankrupted him six years ago
00:43:06Until he hit the honey hole at Duncan Creek
00:43:09We do our own testing and see what we find and we know we can trust that
00:43:13Rick's found gold on his Duncan Creek claim in two spots
00:43:19Now he's hoping the pay streak extends to the Lightning Creek claim
00:43:25Eight miles upstream
00:43:27Near the gold motherlode at Mount Hinton
00:43:30Lightning Creek is owned by Rick's old landlord
00:43:35Troy Taylor
00:43:36There he is
00:43:38Hey guys
00:43:43Hey Troy
00:43:43How's it going?
00:43:45Good to see you
00:43:45Good to see you
00:43:46Hey Troy
00:43:46Welcome to Lightning Creek
00:43:48We're ready to hit the ground running
00:43:51Get some gold out of the ground
00:43:52Six seasons ago
00:43:54Our deal is 10%
00:43:56Yep
00:43:57For 100 ounce minimum
00:43:59Rick leased Duncan Creek from landowner Troy Taylor
00:44:03Oh that's nice looking gold there Rick
00:44:05Then cut a handshake deal to buy the claim
00:44:09Thanks Rick
00:44:10Appreciate that
00:44:11Gambling millions of dollars
00:44:13I'm sure you're happy to see that
00:44:15On the promise of a gold bonanza
00:44:18Holy
00:44:19This is your last chance
00:44:23It was a rocky ride
00:44:26But finally the deal was done
00:44:29Bar one crucial detail
00:44:31I have to trust that that water license is going to come through
00:44:35Yeah
00:44:35You're all in
00:44:37Yeah
00:44:37All in
00:44:39It was on Troy to get the water license for Rick
00:44:44But now that it hasn't come through
00:44:47He might have other ground for Rick to kick the tires on
00:44:50Looks like you've done a little bit of work here
00:44:52Right?
00:44:53A little bit yeah
00:44:54Dad and I did some sluice in last september
00:44:57So yeah
00:44:58Just you and your dad pretty much
00:44:59Yeah just dad and I
00:45:00But what was the gold like
00:45:01I mean is it decent or
00:45:03Yeah it was decent
00:45:04The gold is good here
00:45:05We had some good results last fall
00:45:07Dad and I did some testing and we're pleased
00:45:10Lightning is just like Upper Duncan
00:45:12In the sense that it's flowing through a canyon
00:45:15Hopefully gold has been flushed out of those canyons
00:45:19Like Upper Duncan into this main valley
00:45:21How much overburden is on top of like
00:45:23It's not bad it's just so it's about five feet of muck and sand
00:45:28And right to pay then
00:45:29Yeah
00:45:30Well that's it eh?
00:45:31Yeah
00:45:32And I would just take about 15 feet and then we get into another
00:45:36It's kind of like a false bedrock and that's where I would stop for now
00:45:39So the pay layer was 15 feet?
00:45:41Yeah
00:45:42That's more than I expected
00:45:44I know that we're not the only ones fighting this water license stuff this year
00:45:48What's the deal with this one here?
00:45:49How many more years are on it?
00:45:50Yeah that's a good question
00:45:52This is good till 2028
00:45:54So you got a few more years here and we do
00:45:57Why give us the option?
00:45:59I mean it's just you know
00:46:01Why aren't you doing it?
00:46:03Well I feel bad about this whole water license thing so I want to give you a shot here
00:46:09Dad and I can step aside for a year if you want to go here so
00:46:19There's no cost on the royalty
00:46:21Yeah there's no a lot less risk for us
00:46:24Yeah
00:46:25And I don't sound like a salesman but there is other people that have been calling me over the winter so
00:46:30But I've been holding on to this for you so I'm hoping that we can work something out
00:46:38Yeah
00:46:39Yeah
00:46:41You know I mean I
00:46:43Can I trust you on this?
00:46:46Yeah
00:46:47We've been what six years now together so
00:46:51Yeah
00:46:52I think uh
00:46:53I mean I just
00:46:54There's been no shortage of surprises out here
00:46:58I can't wait too much longer
00:47:00Dad and I are going to keep mining or get somebody else in here so
00:47:04No I understand that
00:47:06We got the trommel here today so
00:47:08We get some testing done and
00:47:10Try to make a decision as quick as we can so
00:47:13Let's do it
00:47:15It's definitely getting harder to trust people out here you know gold's at a premium water
00:47:21Licenses are rare as can be
00:47:23The vultures are circling
00:47:25Troy he always seems to have the answer when I don't
00:47:28So it's uh you know it's a win-win for Troy
00:47:31We need this to work out because we need to get somewhere to go mining and we need to quit
00:47:46Still waiting for his water license
00:47:53Rick Ness has to move his operation and is hoping new ground at Lightning Creek will be worth it
00:48:05We've already done a couple of test holes but I want to do one more here
00:48:08There's a lot of big bullies out of this
00:48:12Could be nice stuff
00:48:14Troy Taylor has already stripped a section down to pay dirt
00:48:18So Rick's making spot checks on the stripped ground
00:48:22He'll run two square yards of pay and is looking for at least a gram from the run
00:48:28By the sounds of Troy that you know it's looking pretty good here
00:48:31But I have kind of some doubts here but at the same time I really hope this is going to turn out for us
00:48:48That should be a good enough speed
00:48:50Yeah for sure
00:48:51Ok I'll go get the water going
00:48:53Ok
00:48:58Hey Ricky
00:49:00Are you ready for you to throw some in if you want?
00:49:02I'll give her a shot
00:49:03This bucket's kind of big I'll probably make a mess
00:49:15It's flush on the rocks really nice so hopefully it gives us good breeding
00:49:24That's the last of the dirt
00:49:25That's how we got our tests done
00:49:26Yeah
00:49:27Go out there and clean it up and then get the hell out of here and weigh it and see what we got
00:49:33Shut her down and clean her up
00:49:34Yeah man
00:49:35Ok let's do it
00:49:38It doesn't have to be hot but it's got to be hot enough for us to buy
00:49:41Back at camp the fate of Rick's season rests on the results of the lightning creek test
00:49:56Some nice pickers in there
00:49:57Yeah
00:49:58If the gold is good it could be the lifeline he needs
00:50:03What's the ground like down there?
00:50:04It's pretty shallow
00:50:05Seems like only about an average of about 5 feet overburden
00:50:07Maybe a little bit more and then a solid 15 foot thick pay layer
00:50:08Well that's pretty good
00:50:09That's a really good you know ratio
00:50:11I don't expect it to pay out like Vegas Valley but who knows
00:50:12Shall we see if it's even worth it?
00:50:14We shall
00:50:15Wait some gold
00:50:16All right
00:50:17I don't think I've ever weighed up this small amount of gold but let's get it all in there
00:50:22Rick wants at least a gram from his 2 yard run
00:50:52We got .525 on there
00:50:59Just half what Rick was hoping for
00:51:06So is it worth it?
00:51:09No
00:51:13We're going to be sitting here with our hands out no place to buy it
00:51:20We're screwed
00:51:23We had a super fast start to the season
00:51:38We have cleanups and a couple bucks in the bank
00:51:40A hundred miles away Tony Beats has already banked 1.5 million dollars in gold
00:51:48So there is more pressure on Mike this year
00:51:51I mean Mike has been running Paradise Hill like it's his but it's not his it's still mine
00:51:55So maybe we'll have to do something with him
00:51:58He wants a piece of the action too
00:52:01Once he has the hill up running well then we'll just see what we can pull off
00:52:06Tony's mining operation is split between two claims
00:52:13Indian River where he's already sluicing pay from the early bird cut
00:52:18And 40 miles away Paradise Hill the core of the family business for over 30 years
00:52:25Hey Mike, how are you?
00:52:35Ah, good yourself?
00:52:36No complaints
00:52:40Last year I was back and forth a bit
00:52:42But this year you won't see very much of me
00:52:44You got lots to do here
00:52:46I know
00:52:47But I got quite a pile going on in the Indian too
00:52:50But this gold price if we don't get on it boy I tell you
00:52:55Let's get it on the go
00:52:57Get down the pay door this week
00:52:59That seems a little excessive
00:53:01Oh really?
00:53:04Step up to the plate
00:53:06Yeah
00:53:07Make some money so I can spend some more
00:53:09How's that?
00:53:10Don't worry dad I'll help you with that
00:53:12Okay, anyway Mike
00:53:14I can't shoot the shit and sit around there like you do
00:53:17I gotta go to work
00:53:18Well if you did your job better you'd have more time
00:53:20Oh yeah
00:53:21off Mike
00:53:22I'm leaving
00:53:23See you later
00:53:24Catch you later dad
00:53:25Yeah, love you too
00:53:30My gold
00:53:31Do my job well
00:53:33And get the results my dad wants
00:53:35So I'm gonna get as much gold as I can this year
00:53:38Because with the prices as they are
00:53:40You're a moron
00:53:42If you don't take advantage of that
00:53:44While Tony's based at Indian River
00:53:47He's giving Mike sole charge of Paradise Hill
00:53:51Entrusting him with a nine-man crew
00:53:54To supersize the super pit
00:53:56More responsibility more authority
00:53:58But I want to focus on stripping before I get sluicing
00:54:02So that I can just when I get sluicing I don't stop
00:54:05Over the last three years the Beats family has cleared out nearly 4 million tons of worthless overburden
00:54:19Creating an 18 acre super pit
00:54:22The cut is home to the Klondike's fabled white channel pay
00:54:27Concentrated gold washed down directly from hard rock deposits
00:54:32So far it's produced over 4,000 ounces of gold worth 15 million dollars
00:54:40This year Mike plans to extend the cut by nearly 50%
00:54:45Opening up eight more acres of ground
00:54:49Tony wants the first acre down to pay by the end of the week
00:55:01We're gonna have a whole whack load of stuff opened up
00:55:04So we have a lot of work ahead of us
00:55:06My dad bought six new trucks
00:55:11We're gonna strip strip strip strip strip strip strip
00:55:16Another year at Paradise is glad to be back
00:55:18We got brand new rock trucks
00:55:20Just hauling overburden from the cut
00:55:22We're trying to expand
00:55:24To get down to the gold-bearing Pele
00:55:28A D11 dozer rips and pushes the worthless waste dirt
00:55:32Called overburden to two excavators
00:55:36Which load it into rock trucks
00:55:38Haul it 2,000 feet away
00:55:41And dump it on the waste pile
00:55:46Hopefully get sluice in here in Paradise soon
00:55:49Get that gold coming in
00:56:02Guys, guys, guys
00:56:04We got a problem
00:56:05We got a problem
00:56:06The cat truck has flipped
00:56:07The cab of the cat truck has flipped
00:56:11Oh
00:56:12I...
00:56:13I'm stuck in here
00:56:16You're right on the edge
00:56:25Oh
00:56:29I'm stuck in here
00:56:32Oh
00:56:35My
00:56:36I honestly don't want to touch it
00:56:37You're right on the edge
00:56:39At Paradise Hill
00:56:41A brand new
00:56:42$750,000 rock truck
00:56:45Has flipped
00:56:46With driver Graham trapped inside the cab
00:56:49Hanging on the edge
00:56:50Of a 200-foot drop
00:56:52This side is just
00:56:54I wish Mike could hurry up
00:56:57Cause if the bang starts to go
00:56:59This is not the circus I signed up for
00:57:05Do I still have all my windows?
00:57:06Do you still have all your windows?
00:57:08Yes
00:57:09.
00:57:10.
00:57:11Ah
00:57:16Ooh, the exhaust
00:57:17And hoses are pretty
00:57:19.
00:57:20Pulled too
00:57:21Oh my hood
00:57:22.
00:57:23Breaking our new truck right away
00:57:24Here it's slowly dropping more and more
00:57:27Which is a little nerve wracking
00:57:29Ah
00:57:30As long as you get me pulled out of here before I flip
00:57:34Okay
00:57:35Well you can't get out
00:57:36Too big
00:57:37Well you can't get out
00:57:39Too big
00:57:48Hey Mike
00:57:52Well what the
00:57:53Is he still in there?
00:57:54Yeah
00:57:55.
00:57:56.
00:57:57He won't fit through that window
00:57:58If you could double its size
00:57:59He wouldn't fit
00:58:00Rescue him for sake
00:58:01He was supposed to be paying charge
00:58:04Kick out the window
00:58:08Make him stand on the steering wheel
00:58:09Stick his head out the window
00:58:11Kick the thing in
00:58:13That way his eyes and ears and everything
00:58:15Be fine
00:58:16Get his fat ass out
00:58:18Okay, you ready Graham?
00:58:19I guess so
00:58:20I guess so
00:58:37Holy crap
00:58:46Okay
00:58:47You can try climbing up the seat there
00:58:50Well
00:58:59Feels good to be out
00:59:00But still a little
00:59:01A little shaky
00:59:03Yeah
00:59:04Whew
00:59:05Glad it didn't go over the edge fully
00:59:07That's
00:59:09Wow
00:59:10Could be fired
00:59:11Could not be
00:59:12Depending on the mood
00:59:13Hey Mike
00:59:14Put it on the grass
00:59:16To set the 36 ton truck back on its wheel
00:59:19Tony and Mike
00:59:21Use the 520 horsepower D10 dozer
00:59:27While the 480 excavator
00:59:29Holds the box in place
00:59:31To stop it dropping over the edge
00:59:33Perfect, pull the
00:59:34Pull it
00:59:39Pull it
00:59:41Keep it going
00:59:42Keep it going
00:59:43Keep it going
00:59:46Perfect
00:59:47I'm very sorry Sony
00:59:53I know
00:59:54I'm not really thinking anything to do about it
00:59:56Because it's on the frost
00:59:57And it's slippery
00:59:59I still feel bad since it's a brand new truck
01:00:01Well that doesn't
01:00:02That happens my man
01:00:03I was expecting it to be a little bit more aggravated
01:00:08I flipped one of the new ones
01:00:10There's no use firing people at his neck
01:00:13Because when you fire somebody
01:00:15There's two people that lose
01:00:16I lose an employee
01:00:17He loses his job
01:00:18It's too bad we had to break the window
01:00:23But that's how it is I guess
01:00:24Right?
01:00:25Yeah
01:00:26I mean the hood be fended
01:00:28I'll be f***ed
01:00:29The railing all be f***ed
01:00:30Nobody hurt
01:00:31That's always a big thing
01:00:32Yeah
01:00:33For Mike
01:00:34It's now a fight
01:00:36To hit pay dirt by the end of the week
01:00:38With one less truck
01:00:40And show Tony he can run Paradise Hill
01:00:43On his own
01:00:45Enough h***
01:00:46If you want to prove yourself
01:00:48I suggest you get rid of it
01:01:02Brennan and I are trying to get as much ground up and up down here at Sulphur as possible
01:01:06At Sulphur Creek
01:01:07Mitch and Brennan have finally drained the cut
01:01:11And exposed what could be
01:01:13Their first hidden pay pocket
01:01:16How far did the dredge get over here
01:01:18Figure out what's left for us
01:01:21Now
01:01:22They're ready for Parker to pan
01:01:25Hopefully we got something for him to look at
01:01:27Old Parker likes to see the gold
01:01:29And you know he wants it now
01:01:32Like this to me looks virgin
01:01:36I really don't know what to expect
01:01:43I really don't know what to expect
01:01:45I'm just gonna show Mitch
01:01:59One pan out of the downstream edge of your ditch
01:02:06Holy smoke
01:02:09That's why we're doing this
01:02:12Wow
01:02:14And that's pretty exciting
01:02:16Find it again
01:02:19Yeah hopefully there's more of that
01:02:21That was a really good pan
01:02:24I just need to get a wash plant in here
01:02:26And find out if it mines like it pans
01:02:3025 miles southeast at Dominion Creek
01:02:34We got the ice out of the bridge cut
01:02:37We got pay stacked up
01:02:39Now it's time we get sluicing
01:02:41Tyson is on the clock
01:02:44Parker wants wash plant Bob's sluicing
01:02:47By the end of the day
01:02:49I haven't talked to Alec and Liam yet
01:02:51There will be no waiting
01:02:53Parker has made that abundantly clear
01:03:01How's it going guys?
01:03:03We're ready to run dirt
01:03:05Um
01:03:06The hopper's
01:03:09Gonna be the main hold up for Bob starting
01:03:12The pre-wash hopper feeder?
01:03:14Yeah
01:03:15This feed chain system is
01:03:17This plant couldn't run without it
01:03:19Man
01:03:21It would have been nice if you told me that
01:03:23The feed chain system
01:03:25Which drives the wash plant's pre-wash conveyor
01:03:28Is broken
01:03:29And the mechanics want to install a new one
01:03:33Parker
01:03:34He wants Bob running today
01:03:38There's no getting around to this right now
01:03:40Yeah
01:03:41Yeah
01:03:42F*** me
01:03:43Let's get at it
01:03:44We got a lot of work to do
01:04:00Mr. Justin
01:04:01Hey boys
01:04:02Mr. Bill
01:04:03What's going on?
01:04:06We brought a rush rush project
01:04:09At Dominion Creek
01:04:12Parker's mechanics are hustling to fix the feed chain system
01:04:15On Bob's pre-wash conveyor
01:04:18All right
01:04:19Well
01:04:20Let's get this thing unloaded
01:04:21And get at it
01:04:22Because it ain't going to fix itself
01:04:24The pre-wash conveyor
01:04:27Moves paydirt into the shaker to be washed
01:04:30The motor which turns the conveyor's front drive shaft
01:04:34Is connected via a small chain and sprocket
01:04:38But over time the chain tightened
01:04:41Pulling the shaft inwards
01:04:43Breaking apart the sprocket and bearings
01:04:47To fix this design fault
01:04:49The mechanics will remove the small chain and sprocket
01:04:53Fit a new front drive shaft
01:04:56And align the motor
01:04:58So it sends power directly to the shaft
01:05:01Chain is up
01:05:06There we go
01:05:10Let motor come out of there nice and easy
01:05:12Okay
01:05:13We're laughing
01:05:14This is the final fit
01:05:19There we go
01:05:28Perfect
01:05:29Right
01:05:33So that
01:05:34That is it
01:05:36Copy Alec
01:05:38Go for Alec
01:05:40You are ready to roll my friend
01:05:44Sweet
01:05:45We'll come grab it
01:05:51Wide load coming through
01:06:00Well look at this
01:06:01You guys pulled it off
01:06:02What do you say we can get Bob running
01:06:10Keep it coming
01:06:15Keep it coming
01:06:18Lift it up a little bit
01:06:21Whoa there buddy
01:06:23There it goes
01:06:24You're in
01:06:30Beautiful
01:06:31Sweet
01:06:33Everything's in place
01:06:35Okay you guys ready?
01:06:36Yep
01:06:37Yep
01:06:38Yep
01:06:39Well here we go
01:06:40Let's fire bomb up
01:06:44Take your necks on
01:06:46Here goes the pre-wash offer
01:06:54It's spin
01:07:01Here goes the first scoop of the season
01:07:03The pre-wash conveyer delivers pay dirt to the plant
01:07:13Water jets blast the gold and fine dirt off the rocks
01:07:18A shaker deck vibrates a set of screens to separate out the larger rocks
01:07:25While the smaller gold bearing material washes down into two 14 by 10 foot sluices where the riffles and mats catch the gold
01:07:39Beautiful sight right there Liam
01:07:42First wash plank going on Dominion
01:07:44That is a beautiful sight
01:07:46With three days sluice time before the end of the week
01:07:49Tyson's on the gold
01:07:52Parker's big push for 10,000 ounces
01:07:55Is on
01:07:57Bob's got a lot of ground to get through this here
01:07:58Miners across the Yukon are gathering at Dawson City for the Klondike-Klasta Mining Association meeting
01:08:04The KTMA warn a glut of unprocessed water licenses is putting livelihoods at risk
01:08:10What a joke
01:08:11Desperate to start his season
01:08:13Rick is in Dawson to meet the Klondike-Klasta Mining Association
01:08:16The KTMA warn a glut of unprocessed water licenses is putting livelihoods at risk
01:08:20What a joke
01:08:22Desperate to start his season
01:08:24Rick is in Dawson to meet the Klondike-Klasta Mining Association
01:08:28The local union working with miners with no water licenses
01:08:30Rick is in Dawson to meet the Klondike-Klasta Mining Association
01:08:35The local union working with miners with no water licenses
01:08:40My back's against the wall
01:08:42I've been up to my elbows in this, you know, in this whole water license stuff
01:08:46It sucks man, it really sucks
01:08:48The state of the industry is not too great
01:08:50A lot of people in the exact same boat as me with the water license and all that
01:08:54I'm hoping that the KTMA, maybe they know when these are going to get approved
01:08:57Give me some kind of reason to stick with Duncan Creek
01:09:00You know, without it I don't know what the hell we're going to do
01:09:02Hey!
01:09:04That's somebody I know
01:09:06What's going on buddy?
01:09:07How you doing?
01:09:08I'm okay, how you been?
01:09:09I'm alright
01:09:10Better than you
01:09:11Yeah?
01:09:12I've heard what's going on
01:09:13Oh man
01:09:14There's a lot of people that are pretty screwed up by it
01:09:17And the thing is, the forces that are against the mining
01:09:22Have so many tactics to stall things and it's death by delay
01:09:25Yeah
01:09:26This is absolutely right
01:09:27Right?
01:09:28Just shoot me in the head, don't give me a slow dab
01:09:30Yeah
01:09:31But let's see what they do in the meeting and then why don't I buy you a beer afterwards
01:09:35I appreciate that man
01:09:36Alright
01:09:38Let's just go in this meeting and see what they say and go from there
01:09:50Something's got to give
01:09:51Yeah, I've had enough of that
01:10:09Big waste of time
01:10:11It gets us nowhere
01:10:12It's just a bull you know
01:10:13Like who's ass do I put my fist up to get some results here?
01:10:16And maybe I'll be done
01:10:18Who knows?
01:10:19Who knows at this point?
01:10:20Probably gonna have a beer
01:10:21Maybe ten
01:10:23In Dawson
01:10:24With no breakthrough on his water license
01:10:27Rick's hopes of mining this season
01:10:29Best seat in the house
01:10:30Panged by a thread
01:10:32Whoa, whoa, whoa
01:10:33What's up?
01:10:34Good to see you again, buddy
01:10:35Good to see you
01:10:36You know the last time we were together was 14 years ago
01:10:43Really?
01:10:44You think that was the last time I was still young?
01:10:47That's a long time ago
01:10:48I
01:10:51I remember I was like I think Tony Beetz is like the coolest guy in the world
01:10:55And I want to be like Tony
01:10:57Thank you
01:10:58Thank you
01:10:59It'll be a long time but you know what been good years
01:11:02Right?
01:11:03Yeah
01:11:04Every year I have more fun
01:11:05Good for you
01:11:06It takes a lot to get me jealous
01:11:08But when I roll by you have so much equipment running
01:11:14So, how's Rick?
01:11:16You having fun?
01:11:18No
01:11:19The KP Bay has gotten us nowhere
01:11:21Basically we can't touch Duncan Creek
01:11:23Oh, that's not very good
01:11:24No, it's kind of a slap in the face
01:11:26Do you have that other block of ground?
01:11:28Lightning Creek?
01:11:30Yeah
01:11:31Um
01:11:32Well, I don't have it
01:11:34It's Troy's
01:11:35So, it's a lease
01:11:36But he's like a pretty reasonable landlord
01:11:38He is
01:11:39And
01:11:40You know
01:11:41They're not like me
01:11:42Yeah
01:11:43I wasn't gonna say that but yeah
01:11:45And you've done like one test or a bunch of tests?
01:11:48We did a few tests there
01:11:49Not very happy about it
01:11:51But
01:11:52There's a license there for three years
01:11:54That's pretty good
01:11:56But
01:11:57I'm not sure if there's a lot of gold in it
01:12:00But I mean you have one thing going for you
01:12:02And that is like gold price is so good
01:12:05Yeah
01:12:06No, I hear you
01:12:07But this is uh
01:12:08This is definitely a gamble
01:12:09Oh
01:12:10Gold price is excellent
01:12:12If you're lucky enough to have a license
01:12:14Hurry the up, mine the out of it
01:12:16And leave, that's it
01:12:18That's it
01:12:19You just gotta get out there and wash as many rocks as you can
01:12:23Get the f*** over that and make it work, Rick
01:12:28You're right
01:12:30Make some money
01:12:31Oh yeah
01:12:32Hope it goes well
01:12:34Well, I've gotta run
01:12:37I've got a dog that needs a walk
01:12:39Ha ha ha
01:12:40Park and it was fun
01:12:41Rick
01:12:42It's great to see you guys
01:12:43Me too, for sure
01:12:44There you go
01:12:45Yeah, let's not wait another 14 years, huh?
01:12:46Yeah
01:12:47I've known Rick for 15 years
01:12:51He was there for all the years where I was just like scared to death of going broke
01:12:55I was scared to death of people taking advantage of me
01:12:58I was scared to death of Tony kicking me off the ground
01:13:01This business f*** eats you alive if you're not ready for it
01:13:06With Rick, I could definitely see him losing everything and leaving the gold fields broke
01:13:15But I could also see him building an empire
01:13:19And I really hope that he's successful
01:13:22I do
01:13:24I cut my teeth out here with Parker
01:13:26I've known Tony since the day I walked into the Klondike
01:13:28And they've always had good advice and I'd be foolish not to take it
01:13:33I've got Lightning Creek as an option right now
01:13:35And we're gonna take that option and we're gonna run with it
01:13:45I'd like to remind all rock truck drivers and the hoe operator working in the cut
01:13:52Keep going, keep skimming her off
01:13:54Strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip
01:13:56After a disastrous start managing Tony's Paradise Hill claim
01:14:02Mike Beetz is racing to get down to pay
01:14:06Mike's doing the best with what he's got
01:14:08But we need to move this dirt
01:14:09Get to the gold, get to the pay
01:14:13Our guys are doing real good
01:14:14We're moving a lot of dirt
01:14:17There's some of this s*** like right here
01:14:18This is not very far from the pay
01:14:20There's so many rocks
01:14:21That's usually a good indicator that's good stuff
01:14:23If you want to drive in, I can grab my Kubota because it makes its way in
01:14:30Ah s*** it, let's walk
01:14:32Looks like you need it
01:14:38Mike, do you copy Mike?
01:14:40Yeah, go ahead
01:14:41We're down to pay here, do you want to come check it out?
01:14:45I'll be there in a minute
01:14:49A little bit clay in it, but it's got the rocks
01:14:51It'll be a fat chunk, huh?
01:14:56Let's grab a pan
01:15:03Now what if I forgot how to pan?
01:15:06It'll be a s***
01:15:07Give me a rock
01:15:12Where would you like it?
01:15:13Right there
01:15:15Thank you, sir
01:15:21Look at that
01:15:35Look at that
01:15:40A good pan
01:15:41Nice fine stuff
01:15:42Yeah
01:15:43As fine as frog hair as they say
01:15:44But that's on the top anyway, right?
01:15:46But we can sluice that, Mike, eh?
01:15:47Oh yeah
01:15:48Without a s*** question
01:15:52We hit pay in Paradise Hill
01:15:53The Indian sluice lot is doing a good job
01:15:55So everything is looking up
01:15:56Everything is looking pretty good
01:15:57Be hot in business
01:15:58Perfect
01:15:59We're back
01:16:14Hold on
01:16:16Before Tyson cleared all the ice, Parker turned the bridge cut into a race track
01:16:22Just push on the front a little bit
01:16:39Come on, get in there
01:16:40Cody, get in there
01:16:44Cody, get in there
01:16:45Cody, get in there
01:16:46Cody, get in there
01:16:47Cody, get in there
01:16:48Cody, get in there
01:16:49Cody, get in there
01:17:02Every light on the dash is on
01:17:03You know any good mechanics?
01:17:05Dude, they're gonna kill me if they find out why this happened
01:17:08Don't tell anybody
01:17:10We're down a foreman
01:17:20But I think being as set up as we are now
01:17:23It is f***ing doable
01:17:24And well, we are gonna f***ing try
01:17:27Tony's eldest son, Kevin
01:17:29Has been running his Scribner Creek mine for a week
01:17:33Relying more on operator Caden Foote
01:17:36This is the earliest I've started sluicing in a season
01:17:39But I feel like it's gonna be a bit of a struggle without Brennan
01:17:44He was an all-around great foreman
01:17:48We've really got to, as a team, come together
01:17:52So we can get as much out as we can
01:18:00Hey, man, got some yellow s***
01:18:03Oh, cool
01:18:04Hi, guys
01:18:05Hey, Marie
01:18:06Hey, guys
01:18:07How's it going, pal?
01:18:08How are you?
01:18:09Good
01:18:10Kevin leases the ground from Tony
01:18:13And pays a 10% royalty on any gold he finds
01:18:19So, your second year on your own
01:18:21How are you feeling about that?
01:18:23You gonna crush it?
01:18:25Honestly, I'm feeling pretty f***ing good
01:18:28Ready to roll this year
01:18:29You don't have to buy this, buy every f***ing thing, right?
01:18:32Yeah
01:18:33Yeah
01:18:34So that's gotta make a lot easier start this year
01:18:36It definitely is a lot nicer to hit the ground running
01:18:39What's happening with Brennan?
01:18:41Well, we didn't know he was showing up
01:18:43And then he finally came and talked to us
01:18:46And told us that he wasn't coming back
01:18:48It would've been nice if we would've let you know that in the winter
01:18:52It would've been nice, for sure
01:18:53That's people for you again
01:18:54That's people for you
01:18:55That's people for you
01:18:56Oh, yeah
01:18:57So who gives a f***?
01:18:58Next
01:18:59That's how it goes next
01:19:03Uh, Tay, you had a nice early start
01:19:05And have some gold coming out of the ground right away
01:19:08Yeah
01:19:09What's your goal?
01:19:10My goal is $2,000
01:19:12And we already have a little bit of chunk of gold at the start of the season
01:19:15So that's nice
01:19:16Oh, that's nice
01:19:17Do you maybe think we can weigh it up?
01:19:20All right
01:19:21Are we ready?
01:19:22Kevin ran his stockpiled pay for one week at Scribner Creek
01:19:2715
01:19:2820
01:19:2930
01:19:3140
01:19:3350
01:19:4157.04
01:19:43$200,000 in gold
01:19:47$60,000 more than the same amount was worth last season
01:19:52And that's how many hours?
01:19:5470
01:19:5570 hours
01:19:56So it's a little bit less than
01:19:57So I have an ounce now
01:19:58Yeah
01:19:59That's still nice
01:20:00Oh, f*** yeah, that's better than zero
01:20:02Oh
01:20:03This year cash in, so you may as well get with it, right?
01:20:06Yeah
01:20:07You know?
01:20:08Okay, woman, let's get the f*** out of here, let's go
01:20:10Yeah
01:20:11We have to work, so we'll talk to you guys later
01:20:13Okay
01:20:14Ladies and gentlemen, don't work too hard
01:20:16Bye
01:20:17Catch you later
01:20:18Bye
01:20:19Hey dog
01:20:20Come on
01:20:21That was a decent go away
01:20:22Eh, not too bad
01:20:24It's kind of nice to see this yellow stuff this early in the season
01:20:28I'm sure the folks would be happy for us too
01:20:30But the big thing we're looking for right now is the foreman
01:20:34We'll get hiring and something will f***ing show up
01:20:37Nice little haul, I mean, it's a good start
01:20:42It's a couple bucks, huh?
01:20:44Royalty-wise
01:20:45Royalty-wise, yeah
01:20:46It's all right
01:20:47It's all right
01:20:48There's nothing like making money off your kids, is there?
01:20:57What's happening?
01:20:58How's it going, man?
01:20:59Going good
01:21:00Good
01:21:01Been a while since we've done one of these
01:21:03Yeah
01:21:06Pig cat
01:21:07Hey
01:21:08He is back
01:21:10How's it going?
01:21:11Welcome back
01:21:12Yeah, thank you
01:21:13It's good having you back
01:21:14Yeah
01:21:15And there's a lot to do this year, so we need all the help we can get
01:21:17Definitely
01:21:18It's the end of the first week of what could be a game-changing season for Parker
01:21:25This is the year, huh?
01:21:26Yeah
01:21:27We need to just f***ing shove dirt down those wash plants' throats, huh?
01:21:34It's a long road to 10,000
01:21:38Tyson's got Bob running right now in the bridge cut
01:21:42Sulphur's drying out a little bit
01:21:45We've got the trucks upstream, they're stripping
01:21:47Now it's going all right
01:21:48Yep
01:21:51Are you ready, T?
01:21:52Let's check it out, Dumit
01:21:53This is Mr. Bob, this is your first plant
01:21:56Well, here we go
01:21:58All eyes are on Tyson's first run from the bridge cut
01:22:02Last season's payouts were unpredictable
01:22:05Parker's looking for at least 100 ounces from three days' sluicing
01:22:1210, 20, 40, 60, 80
01:22:20We're going to break to 100
01:22:23There we go, 100, 120
01:22:31125.8
01:22:34Nice
01:22:35Very nice
01:22:37Worth over $440,000
01:22:42Looks like it was worth getting that ice off
01:22:44Yeah
01:22:46We're on the board
01:22:47Yeah
01:22:49That's definitely a good start, but we have a long ways to go
01:22:52So, I hope everybody's ready to buckle in
01:22:58All right, thank you guys
01:23:00Thank you
01:23:01Do it again next week
01:23:03Big cat is back
01:23:04Meow
01:23:05This season we're really going to be hopping
01:23:10Hopes are high
01:23:12And I think we've got a good shot at making our 10,000 ounces this year
01:23:16I think this year we've got the right recipe
01:23:18You know, we've got really good people here
01:23:21It's probably the best chance we'll have at doing the five figures
01:23:25It's going to be a ball buster of a season for the boys though
01:23:27This season되 James
