00:00In a great start to the season.
00:29In his race to 6,500 ounces, Klondike kingpin Tony Beetz is off to a quick start.
00:52His early bird cut at Indian River has already delivered 417 ounces worth one and a half million dollars.
01:04I want to have two sides running.
01:10Mike is tripping Paradise Hill.
01:12So as long as Mike is boosting someone in June I'll be happy.
01:15And then cousin Mike is running Indian River.
01:19But there's more pressure on it to keep the plant rolling.
01:22Keep that gold flowing in.
01:24We're going to go get together with cousin Mike.
01:26Let's see what we're going to do this year.
01:30.
01:32Look at this commotion.
01:35The high water and everything.
01:39Hey cousin Mike, do you copy?
01:41Go ahead.
01:42I see nothing but the water.
01:45There's a lot of water coming into the cut.
01:48I do not, do not want the flutter cut.
01:51Shut off the plant.
01:52Shut off the plant.
01:53Shut off the plant.
01:55With this gold price, anytime you shut down, you're going to loads of money.
02:03Let's see what the is happening.
02:13Hey, hey, hey.
02:16You see that beaver there in the water?
02:18That's the culprit.
02:19That little .
02:20We better check around there where we let the water out in the pond.
02:25You see what's happening on that side of the pipe?
02:30The beaver overnight, he plugged that culvert up.
02:35So, we'll have to fix it.
02:37Cousin Mike, do you copy?
02:39Go ahead, Tony.
02:41Can you move the river excavator, please?
02:43We got a beaver plugged that culvert.
02:46Okay, copy.
02:49At Indian River, the 13-acre early bird cut sits next to two connected settling ponds.
02:56These hold all the dirty sluice water from Wash Plant Sluicealot, discharged at 3,300 gallons a minute.
03:06But a beaver has plugged the culvert, connecting the two ponds.
03:12Unable to drain into the second pond, the first pond is quickly filled up and burst its banks.
03:19Water is now flooding into Tony's only gold-producing cut.
03:28Be damned if we're going to get that beaver to f*** me around.
03:36What we're doing, we'll take the excavator, you're going to stand in the bucket, see if you can poke it out.
03:40Okay.
03:41Okay, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
03:51Cousin Mike is going to try with a stick, but they're plenty smart, them things.
04:02That beaver knows what he's doing.
04:04He plugged up the culvert pretty good.
04:06F***ing beaver.
04:07F***ing beaver.
04:08Hurry the f*** up, get that water under control.
04:09It ain't never going to f***ing work.
04:10To access and clear the culvert, Tony will first need to get rid of the water.
04:36So what we're going to do is we're going to block this, hold it off.
04:42Then what I'll do is I'll bend the water out and then we're going to see what the problem is.
04:51Now I'm just scooping out some water just to speed things up a little bit.
04:58And then we'll see what kind of sticks are in there and whatever.
05:05Okay, good enough.
05:11We're lucky because sometimes they got logs in there, they got all kinds of crap in there.
05:18Let's scoop this up, get them sticks out.
05:21Okay, I'm going to open it up.
05:26Okay, I'm going to open it up.
05:40There it is.
05:42Okay, fire up the plants.
05:51Bingo, we're back in business.
05:54There he goes.
05:56He just may move to a different pond.
05:58Yeah, move to Parker or something.
06:03Anyway, for now we have that cured.
06:05All we got to do is keep running.
06:07That's what makes them running.
06:08That's what makes them running.
06:09That's what makes them running.
06:10First, Maggie, up to here.
06:11That's great.
06:12This is a , a courage you can clean up.
06:13Just like his father, Tony.
06:14First muggy of beer that's great this is a good courage you clean up just like his father Tony
06:38eldest son Kevin beats is already turning dirt into dollars
06:44only one week into his second season as mine boss he's already banked 57 ounces of his new
06:562,000 ounce target we started slicing so early because last year we left ourselves a good little
07:03piggy bank because the gold price being as high as she is now there's extra incentive to have money
07:08coming in from the get-go it is unfortunate that Brennan is gone we relied on him quite heavily
07:14for keeping the cut in line but we will make it work somehow
07:16all right guys we had a very good start but as you know Brennan is not coming back this year so
07:28I'll be down here in the cut a bit more often to provide more guidance and direction
07:33so Caden you can be feeding the plant Rick on tailings again Chelsea Aila and Tyler would get
07:40the rock trucks going to get a bit of stripping happening any comments questions or concerns
07:44my only concern would be about what paid and our potential jam up well we really don't have the
07:52time to let it dry right now have to try and shove it through and see what it does
07:55okay so let us get to getting and get some gold Caden's concerns about the wet pay weight against
08:03getting going I think it is worth rolling the dice and just dealing with any issues as they arise
08:08I think that Kevin's decision to run the wet pay is going to bite us in the ass in the long run
08:17as spring temperatures begin to rise Kevin's thawing pay pile is becoming sloppy
08:25wet pay skipping belt and proving problematic for 23 year old local mechanic and operator Caden's foot
08:35the pay is still wet the belt slips on it that just doesn't pick it up I don't know why he's choosing
08:44to do this but it's making my patients run fit poor planning causes piss poor production which leads to piss poor results
08:54oh
08:57oh
09:01wet pay man
09:02hey kevin got a copy kevin go for kevin the roller on the feeder the drive wheel was spinning
09:29but the belt wasn't it's soaking wet so i shut everything down
09:37see that wet mud can't run that jams up the feeder creates the drive belt to just spin
09:45endless problems can't run wet soup
10:00i just dumped a bucket in when installed gotcha but it was like soaking wet yeah if we spread the
10:09material it would dry out within a day or two is better than fighting constant shutdowns
10:17uh no a lot of that is just feeding it in less quickly and there will be less
10:25we just have to make it work clean out the wheel
10:29and after that we'll get back to sluicing your call boss
10:33the wet pay is slopping over the side of the hopper feeder's first conveyor belt
10:45onto its drive wheel below making it too slippery to grip and push the heavy dirt up the conveyor belt
10:55stopping it from feeding pay onto the second conveyor and into the wash plan kevin's quick fix
11:02use 4 000 pounds per square inch of high pressure hot water to blast away the mud
11:10then fire up the plant and feed the pay at a slower rate
11:14i really miss working with brennan he's my friend he was super nice supportive and with kevin
11:32i feel like i'm disrespected whenever i bring something to his attention nothing ever happens
11:38he hired me on as a mechanic and now i'm stuck doing this
11:45like why are we struggling like this it's really pissing me off
11:57it's been a tough start to the season with the whole duncan creek water licensing it's like beating a
12:10dead horse gold prices are great right now and i have to make a move on this lightning creek option
12:28it's either you know gone or you know sit here and cry about it which we're not going to do
12:3344 year old mind boss rick ness is in survival mode with red tape preventing him from running a
12:41stockpile of gold on his own claim he has just one choice go back to leasing ground from his old landlord
12:50it's troy taylor's ground so i'm going to talk to troy right now and see if we can come up with a deal
12:55quite honestly i need it can't afford to not get gold this year if rick can cut a deal for the
13:00ground at lightning creek he'll once again pay troy a percentage on any gold he mines
13:09hey rick how you doing man come on in
13:15what's happening out there oh no no i'm here to make a deal yeah let's
13:20talk what uh what are you thinking well i guess we're going to talk about uh royalties i'm looking
13:25for 10 percent yeah well things have changed uh so what were you thinking the royalty is uh 20 rick
13:44holy i mean that's uh that's a lot of money i'd be taking all the risk from you and you'd be making
13:49more what if what if what if we said 15. i get that but there's less royalty you know how it is with
14:00water licenses in demand there's a lot of people more than ever showing interest right now yeah so
14:09yeah you're right about that but like how many of these people have you worked with
14:12these people can promise you 20 percent well what are they going to actually put in your hand
14:15in your hand we've been working together for you know six years now and if i say i can put good
14:20gold in your hand that's what you're going to get i don't know
14:26yeah i know what you can do
14:29so i'm okay with 15 percent i think we got a good deal all right try rick must pay troy five percent
14:41more royalties than he used to and owes him 350 000 no matter what kind of gold he finds
14:49he finally has ground for this season we got a spot to go mining i didn't get the 20 percent but
14:58i've got a minimum 100 ounces and i'm going to be involved on a regular basis up there so it's good
15:04at the end of the day is this the deal that i wanted to make no of course i want to be mining my own
15:08ground but you know what we've got the deal made to be able to mine on lightning creek so time to get on
15:13some gold 100 miles away your timing is perfect because i'm in the middle of going through hiring
15:30right now and um having people that have some experience up here is a huge benefit like i have
15:37a spot for you 100 all right well welcome aboard thank you very much look forward to working with
15:48you yeah no it'll be good when you get here we'll take you on a tour and um wash some rocks awesome
15:53all right thanks man have a great day see you soon
15:58awesome tired parker schnabel is at it again
16:05having already poached kevin's foreman brennan rule he's now hiring kevin's key operator and mechanic
16:13caden foote caden's going to be a great addition to the place when it comes to poaching people
16:18everybody's trying to do it so i just don't know am i the worst offender or am i just the most successful
16:25at it right
16:27you got the job feels great in my eyes he's the king of the klondike
16:39but the most nerve-wracking part is gonna be when i tell kevin and faith i'm leaving that's the one
16:47thing i'm dreading is that conversation
16:59i want to talk to you in faith okay really quick because i do have to run
17:12what's up so i just it's a sad hard thing for me i mean it's i'm just trying to do what i think is
17:29right and so i got a job offer from parker that i couldn't turn down
17:36it's a thing it really is but i just i have to move over
17:53it was definitely a tense and stressful conversation
18:05i'm feeling a little upset but i'm also excited for my future
18:12ah it's a bit of a shock i did not really expect him to
18:18have the moose between brendan and kate and like it's gonna make the 2 000 ounce goal
18:26a lot more work
18:42things are going all right gold prices are up a thousand bucks an ounce
18:47dominion has a lot of sluicing that needs to get done it's time to make hay while the sun shines
18:52gold mining mogul parker schnabel is gunning for a record-breaking season
18:58to cash in on the sky-high gold price he's chasing a massive 10 000 ounce 35 million dollar prize
19:08you know a big key to hitting our goal this year is going to be just getting plants running
19:13early as we can and keeping them running people need to understand what the responsibilities and
19:20expectations are and you know they need to be met
19:27to hit his ambitious target parker's tasked his two lieutenants with sluicing more pater than ever before
19:35at sulfur creek mitch blasky is stripping a two-acre cut hunting pockets of gold left behind by old timers
19:48you know this guy is almost half a mile long and it's just a lot on everybody's played each day
19:53but we're making good progress here at sulfur
20:00at parker's main operation on dominion tyson lee is in charge of two enormous cuts
20:08the 114 acre bridge cut where wash plant bob is already sluicing and the new 52 acre golden mile
20:17where drill results indicate the cut could hold up to 12 million dollars in gold
20:26we're going to run four plants this year there's a lot of work to do to get to that point last week
20:32tyson got bob fired up in the bridge cut now it's a matter of getting sluice for set up in golden mile
20:38alec and liam have done the complete rebuild on the plant so we'll see if we can resurrect her
20:47right now i'm getting pulled in polar opposite directions with bob and sluice for parker wants
20:54lucifer running by the end of the week there's a lot going on and not much time to do with it
21:00to help tyson get sluice for running parker's throwing him the newest recruit
21:08hello hello kevin beats former operator caden how's it going i'm good so we got to get
21:16slucifer's water recirculation system going okay so we need to have these culverts in road activated
21:22by the end of the day so we can get sluice for in have two wash plants running on dominion and keep
21:27parker happy absolutely sounds like a plan thanks tyson in the bridge cut wash plant bob has been running
21:36for a week bringing in 126 ounces in gold now one and a half miles north tyson must get the golden mile
21:47producing two first tyson needs caden to dig up the only access road to the cut and install a set of
21:56culverts for sluice water to pass through once complete tyson will move sluice of her from parker's yard
22:05three miles to the golden mile cut and fire up the plant for the first time in two years
22:17today's my first day working for parker that's a pretty big responsibility that tyson has given me
22:32i i i just can't up i'm working in this really fine wet material that's just like quicksand
22:40so you just got to be very cautious or that will sink you just a little love tap get her level
22:48gentle gentle gentle
22:58oh no i think i'm sinking
23:02no she's in there i can't get out of this
23:13hey tyson got a coffee tyson
23:24yeah go ahead yeah i up i sunk the 480 i'm gonna need your help with another hoe to get this thing
23:31out it's buried in there like top of the track frames i'll be there as soon as possible
23:40hopefully this excavator isn't very stuck because i got better to be doing
23:45i'm sorry it's the first hoe i've ever sunk
24:05let me just get in here for a second see what we can do
24:17without this road being reactivated
24:20we can't get slucifer up and running so i've got to get this thing out
24:27sure did a number on that one i hope this isn't what gets me fired
24:36right now we're just seeing if it can lift itself it seems to be able to it's a good sign
24:49it looks like he got her
24:58everyone has first day nerves but you know hopefully this is a lesson learned for kaden you know
25:06all good thank you so much i'll get that culvert in no worries dude
25:11tyson's a really great guy i'm happy that he got it out but at the same time i'm annoyed that he was
25:22able to do it and i couldn't that definitely makes me feel like i always have more to learn
25:30i'm about to throw our culvert in
25:34wow just like that baby
25:41now time to do a little bit of backfilling
25:47clean up the road good enough
25:55tyson can now move slucifer into the golden mile and we'll soon find out how much his new cut will pay
26:03out one step in the right direction now let's take her home let's try and get some dirt going
26:08through by the end of the week for parker
26:22we've got a deal on lightning creek troy drove a hard bargain um is it a risk absolutely but with
26:28the gold prices right now now's the time to strike time is of the essence in the mountains
26:34above keno rick ness is back in the game having secured a lease on lightning creek now we just got
26:41to get the gold today we're going to start moving the gear down there get our excavators
26:45down there our trucks and hopefully by the end of the day we're breaking dirt at lightning creek and
26:49that's all that matters
26:56come on rick what we got here who's that rick's best friend
27:01oh zi zi zaremba and a new recruit have arrived
27:12how you doing rick hey i'm guy guy this is the one i was telling you about
27:16to bolster rick's skeleton crew z has brought along new recruit kai shallcross
27:23have you ever run a six-wheel drive off-road truck no i haven't
27:26done um i think the biggest piece of equipment i've driven is probably like a mini excavator
27:35uh let's start good kid yeah good kid
27:43i say let's get to lightning creek and get to mining all right i'm ready sick all right let's go
27:48let's go copy that to get on the gold rick needs to move his fleet of big iron from duncan creek
28:05eight miles northwest to his new least 1600 acre claim at lightning creek where he hopes to pick up
28:13the trail of gold near its source at mount hinton
28:29finally going to be able to go move some dirt eh yeah we got some gold in the box
28:35it's good to see rick going gung-ho as always i mean every season there's it seems like there's a
28:44new hurdle for him but he overcomes it either he's really good at what he does or a lock or a little bit
28:49of vault four hours later hey rick are we there yet yeah we're here awesome
29:11well we're at lightning creek
29:12let's talk about a plan here so we've got yeah a lot to figure out but i don't think it's going
29:20to be that technically difficult it's supposed to be 12 to 15 feet of pay for five um with five
29:26feet of overburden on top of it but i i think that we're up for it yeah i don't know what you guys
29:29think yeah absolutely you got a name picked out for this uh spot yet well from above it actually
29:36looks a bit like a diamond so i was looking at the diamond cut there's some stuff to figure out
29:39yet i'm not going to lie but this is the year to swing for the fences so i'd say
29:44let's get down here and start slinging dirt great all right sounds good
29:53rick's first targeting a two acre area troy began stripping last season
30:01everyone's been sitting around and this is what they've been waiting for time to go
30:04out and he'll have to navigate kino's notoriously spotty ground on a new plane we don't have the
30:14best uh situation to deal with here we've got a short season to kind of figure out where the gold is
30:18we need to get over 100 ounces a week can we pull it from this valley it could be spotty and you know if
30:24we dig in the wrong spot we may not find gold at all and you dig the right spot we might hit it you know
30:29so it's it's it's it's exciting and nauseating at the same time
30:51it's a monumental day out here we're gonna get selucifer set up on dominion for the first time
30:56it's about time we knock the rust off her and get her back to work at parker's schnabels want to
31:03jump in the loader and i'll eye up tyson and his crew are ready to move wash plants lucifer to the golden
31:10mile this plant was the plant i learned on and it's the plant it's going to make us a lot of money this
31:18here
31:25yo alec is everyone clear yeah
31:29hey those lucifer is my baby girl and i'm dragging her home
31:42let's go we've got some work to do girl good there
31:49tailings conveyor yeah tyson walk forwards
31:53and sluice runs mounted there we go all right we're gonna pull slucifer up the hill
32:01tyson pulls the fully assembled 45 ton beast 100 feet onto the pad
32:10i've just got to spin slucifer into place
32:13come on let's go we got about five feet now
32:23that's pretty much there
32:27guys we really killed it here we got slucifer up to the golden mile let's get her done definitely nice work
32:33and stop there two years since she last washed rocks slucifer is ready to catch an estimated
32:503 500 ounces buried in the golden mile this is the first time that slucifer is fired up on dominion so
32:58that's cool some of that ground is looking really good let's hope it mines that way
33:04who wants to do the honors you press the compare you press the shaker ready
33:11let's go
33:12hey sandy start feeding make this one count
33:27this is a moment i never thought would happen slucifer's firing back up
33:44on dominion first time of the season
33:46how's she running pretty darn smooth hopefully it stays that way good job with the setup dude thanks man
33:59i gotta go see you guys good job thank you guys you're killing it
34:06nice work guys
34:09watch plant number two up and running two down two to go we got the two main ones running that's what matters
34:16so hopefully we find some gold
34:30so i just arrived here at slucifer so we're doing the first clean up since 2023 i heard there might
34:37be a lot of gold in the runs but uh we're about to find out parker's trusted wash plant slucifer
34:44has been running golden mile pay for 24 hours hey there young man hey chris how's it going
34:52a lot of good memories right here yeah when we had that 400-ouncer in here that was awesome
34:58that was so fun i was talking to my dad yesterday i was telling him everything that we've got going on
35:03and he's like hi is chris gonna be able to keep up in that gold room of his and i'm like i hope not
35:09yeah no i'm gonna fight you tooth and nail i'm gonna push you guys hard
35:23hi guys hello so how are you doing on the hill mike i have a ton i got a strip
35:30so i've got a lot to do how's it going out here pretty good i hear you guys are having a little bit
35:36of trouble with the beavers well yeah beaver cured water cured so yeah it's good yeah so what do you
35:43think should we weigh some gold sure let's weigh it out despite the beavers shutting down their only
35:51working wash plant for half a day tony expects the indian river's early bird cut to deliver around 250
36:00ounces 5 10 15 20 30 50 80 120 150 180 190 200
36:18214.6 it's below target but still worth almost three quarters of a million dollars
36:27and brings the beets total to 632 ounces nearly a tenth of tony's season goal that's not bad
36:38keep it up i kind of like that don't come back with anything less not bad holidays really in the
36:44season right not bad at all and at this price i mean what does it take to make a million bucks nothing
36:50okay okay you guys all should go back to work see you see you later
37:05at scribner kevin beats has visitors for his second gold way of the season hi family hi
37:12how's your season going so far guys it's long tired having lost two key crew members in two weeks
37:24kevin's about to find out if it's damaged his chances of hitting his 2 000 ounce target
37:30well we drove by and you guys are susan yeah yeah we unfortunately lost kaden yeah really that kind
37:36of sucks i thought he was quite happy here some things didn't quite work out so he moved over to
37:41parker's you know how i look at that right there's always other people nobody cares get the next one
37:47right such a caring man well i thought so
37:51at least on the bright side we have some gold two way up let's weigh it up let's find out kevin spent
38:00a week sluicing wet pay from his stockpiled piggy bank to stay on target he needs 88 ounces a week
38:08one five ten 24 34 44 46 48.46 worth 170 000 just over 100 ounces for the season so far i mean
38:30obviously we'd like to see some bigger numbers so we'll do what we can plenty time left to make up
38:34yeah so uh yes siree anyways we should all get back to work you sound like my wife for
38:40sake she does that all the time too you know what fate it works really well bye guys see you later
38:47it was lovely to see everyone it was great she needs to have a bit more on the scale next time but
38:52it'll come with time we'll get there
39:04oh yeah
