TVTranscript
00:26This time of season right now, I mean, I can tell summer's gone.
00:29We're well into the fall, and we have no time for delays anymore.
00:33Four months into the season, Rick Ness is deep in the hole.
00:40I mean, at the moment, we're not even at 500 ounces yet, so we can't afford to be wasting any
00:45more time.
00:46If we don't see some gold soon, there's no way we're going to hit our 1,800 ounces.
00:51Just seven weeks remain in the mining season.
00:55Rick's now spent a million dollars moving a mountain in his Valhalla cut, and he's finally close to hitting the
01:03pay layer.
01:04This whole Valhalla cut here, you know, it's huge.
01:07It's probably the biggest project I've ever taken on up here, and, you know, it's really starting to eat at
01:11me a bit.
01:12If things don't go exactly as they have to go, then I'm broken.
01:16I'm done.
01:17Bailey's got a lot done in the cut.
01:19I mean, he's doing a hell of a job down there.
01:20It's looking like any day we're going to be a town to pay, and we need to get Slewson quick.
01:25We need to see some gold.
01:26The guys are with me on it.
01:28I know that, and they've been working their asses off, and that's just what we're going to stick with,
01:31because if Valhalla pays off, it could be the best decision I've ever made.
01:39Hey, Ricky, you got a copy?
01:41Go for Ricky.
01:42You can come down to the cut.
01:55Oh, boy.
01:56Well, buddy, I've got some honest opinions.
02:00From there, you can see how it dives right there.
02:03That's the slope, and then it continues there.
02:05But everything from, like, that edge, I dug 25 more feet down, as far as that thing can go down,
02:13and it was just still pure clay.
02:15What do you mean?
02:17No pay.
02:21Rick believes an ancient dried-out riverbed filled with coarse gold
02:27runs across four miles of his Duncan Creek claims.
02:31The 50-foot pay street is proven to run under Raleigh Valley
02:36and then downstream to Vegas Valley.
02:40Rick assumed this pay layer would be at the same 150-foot depth in Valhalla.
02:46But after digging down for over a month, instead of hitting pay dirt,
02:52Bentley has run into a 25-foot clay layer with no gold.
03:04Dude.
03:05It's all this clay.
03:06Like, where the f*** do we take it?
03:0725 more feet down, that's...
03:09That's too much.
03:10Too much for this year.
03:12There might be rich pay farther down, but you think about it, we don't know what's down there.
03:17Yeah.
03:21I dug a test hole pretty much just across from that elbow right there.
03:25Yeah.
03:25So, like, the edge of that over there.
03:27But it's just clay.
03:28Oh, it's clay all the way to the next cut, man.
03:33It doesn't make any f***ing sense.
03:38Sorry that I got to tell you, but, like, the ground don't lie.
03:42It's all dead zone.
03:47It's a smack to the face, man.
03:49I know we did all this work, but...
03:50Yeah.
03:52It isn't worth it.
03:54All right.
03:54Give me a minute.
03:55Yep.
03:57Yep.
04:08We have no clue what's underneath this clay, and we've got to figure out something quick
04:12because time's running out.
04:17Quite a bit going on today.
04:19You know, Rick's doing some soul searching right now, looking for what he wants to do.
04:23So, a lot of thoughts going through his head.
04:32You know, I really thought that this whole Valhalla cut was going to be huge for us.
04:35Bailey gets on this clay layer.
04:37We just have no way to deal with that this year.
04:39It's just not going to work.
04:43I'm out here with seven people trying to move a mountain, right, to get down to a little
04:47spot in the bottom that's got a bunch of gold in it.
04:52When I wanted to make these big decisions, that would leave me, you know, by the time I
04:56was done with this was something that I could hold in that cell and be able to do what I
05:00want after that.
05:01That's the whole reason I'm out here, right?
05:03It's, you know, I want to be mining until I'm 100 years old.
05:06I want to learn this.
05:07I want to do it.
05:08I want to do it right.
05:09And I want to be happy after this.
05:11And, you know, now I'll walk away with nothing, you know?
05:17And that's the opposite of the plan.
05:20And I wanted to walk away from this with everything and, uh, yeah.
05:32Is this, this whole endeavor could be the thing that makes my entire life great or it
05:41could be the thing that ruins it.
05:48I can handle it, I can handle it, I can handle it, I've been handling it, but like just some
05:52days, man, it's just too much.
05:54And I don't talk about it with my guys, I don't talk about it with anybody, because if
05:57I talk about it, it makes it real, and then I can't control it.
06:02It's just not where I thought it would be when I made the decision.
06:06And it's frustrating.
06:08And I don't, at this time, I'm wondering if it ever is going to be.
06:14Yeah, I've been struggling more than I thought I would.
06:17Damn it.
06:41There's no reason to slow down for me.
06:44If you've ever seen these retired people, I mean, the biggest thing they have to look
06:49forward with is to walk behind the wife, go f***ing shopping, talking about things
06:54they could have done, they should have done.
06:56They're dead already, they just don't know it.
06:58Not me.
07:00Back that f***ing thing up.
07:02Let's go.
07:03King of the Klondike, Tony Beetz, is on the verge of breaking records.
07:08There's still almost two months of the season to go, and Tony is already closing in on a
07:15massive milestone.
07:17We're only, what, 500 ounces away from the target.
07:20Right now we've got three boxes banging away, you know, six, 700 yards an hour.
07:25So if anything goes well, we should hit our 6,500 ounce goal this week.
07:32That is exciting.
07:34Tony has three wash plants running, sluice-a-lot and find-a-lot on the Indian River, and the
07:42trommel on Paradise Hill.
07:44To hit his target, Tony needs his entire arsenal of wash plants running full bore this week.
07:52Okay, back that thing up quicker.
07:54Let's go, go, go, go, go, go.
07:59At the corner cut, sluice-a-lot accounts for half the Indian River's weekly gold production.
08:09My responsibility is while I run this land, we've got to watch the fines and the forest
08:15tailings that build up, you know.
08:19There he is, I'm going to go.
08:22We got a shutdown.
08:24We got a joint.
08:26If the drum was the conveyor pulley, you can follow up under the stall.
08:30They know that it's up there.
08:39Oh, .
08:41You see the metal separating from the edge of the drum?
08:45And that's not good.
08:46You can blow up that end pulley, and then you get a major jam up, and then your runs get
08:52filled,
08:53and you end up blowing gold out of the boxes because your runs will get full of rocks eh
08:57we got to do something about it a broken drum pulley on the course tailings conveyor
09:04has jammed taking sluice a lot out of action
09:12you can start digging down there you know the drill right start to the day though didn't think
09:20i'd be doing this a little bit of a project we can't just take the drum out we gotta take
09:27the
09:28whole conveyor off in charge of getting sluice a lot back on the gold indian river foreman cousin mike
09:35we're just gonna move the whole wash plan to a new spot where it's level
09:43sluice a lot's tailings conveyor removes coarse waste rocks from the shaker decks
09:48but four months of wear and tear has sheared its drum pulley from its shaft and the belt no longer
09:56turns to replace it cousin mike needs to raise the plant with its built-in hydraulic rams then
10:05drag it out with a dozer until it's free from the dirt next he must remove the conveyor and belt
10:13to access the broken drum pulley then install a replacement reattach the belt and finally fire the plant back up
10:27i can lift up the plant hydraulically every little bit helps as we can get it out of the dirt
10:34there it goes
10:39this is just so that when i start dragging we don't wreck anything
11:05you guys get the away from that cable
11:11and that cable snaps it'll cut you right in half stay away from it
11:23and that cable everyone's clear tony beats wants to smash his 6 500 ounce season target
11:33this week and needs to get his wash plant sluice a lot back in action all right out we go
11:54i already know it is now it's heavy cooling
12:05i'll have a look at it the plant free from the dirt tony can now inspect the broken tailings
12:12of his conveyor
12:14how's it going gentlemen see you got it out of the dirt
12:18you know make an old guy crawl underneath this
12:20what the hi if he can't do that anymore he shouldn't be here oh
12:26what the are you finding over there the tail pulled his toast i found a new one let's see if
12:33it fits
12:33on each side we got a plate so we have to disconnect that plate take it off
12:40no just rip the out it's built for it but i wouldn't want to screw around in the back here
12:45hurry up
12:49okay i'll loosen this one up land yeah
12:56i'll do some lifting and then we can swing it out
13:07i'll land can you walk ahead a little bit walk forward
13:17you're free
13:20okay maybe walk another four feet
13:24now lift it up till it's free and try and keep it on the top that i don't hit anything
13:29okay good there
13:34yeah yeah we're good there well that was pretty successful
13:48uh watch your toes watch your toes
13:52he's out yeah so we finally got this bastard out as you can see it's ripped here all the way
14:00around
14:00so we'll first try to put the new pulley in getting back to sluicing as soon as possible
14:06if the shaft is wide enough and everything and hopefully that all works out
14:12but the other one is 56 and this one is 68
14:18uh-oh the one i brought is a little bit smaller
14:23uh-oh
14:26that's not gonna work
14:29so we need a new plan we like to hit the season goal so that plan's got to be up
14:34and running in
14:35order to achieve that until we come up with something else sluice a lot ain't gonna be running
14:59the gold in the ground is the gold in the ground but it's a lot of dirt to get through
15:06it's just extremely frustrating heading into the home stretch of the season
15:12parker schnabel's 10 000 ounce gold target is in danger of slipping from his grasp
15:20we just need to keep the sluicing hours up we're gonna be hard pressed to get through that pit this
15:24year if we don't have wash plants running so we just hit 10 000 ounces we've got to sluice all
15:30of it
15:33last week we shut down both sluice for and big red parker shut down two wash plants to dig out
15:39the
15:40last of the pay dirt from the golden mile we have a major problem the dirt can't be in the
15:45hole
15:46anymore we could just start making pay piles while the crew continues to dig out pay parker wants to
15:56get one of the plants back up and sluicing so we've built two big pay piles big red's ready to
16:03move next
16:04to one of the big piles that we've got of pay but now tyson's taken some time off timing's not
16:10great
16:11so that's a wrap for me right now drive to the airport and fly out to my sister's wedding while
16:17i'm gone one of the major things that really have to happen is moving big red
16:23with hyphen being gone brennan's filling in for him and brennan's going to get that plant moved
16:29this is the first kind of major wash plant thing that brennan's been in charge of so
16:37we'll see how badly he can screw it up it's on brennan now shouldn't take more than a chef
16:46hopefully i remember how all the pieces go together here despite being a seasoned dirt mover brennan
16:53ruo hasn't moved big red in five years moving a plant's always a big responsibility and it doesn't
17:00always give me a bit of anxiety if i was to be honest with you we have two pay piles
17:05that are the size of
17:05mount everest here to get through so it's all the massive race against the clock right now every
17:13minute that the plant shut down it's that many ounces of gold not getting washed parker wanted this
17:19thing solution tonight and i want to make that happen but i do want to prove myself here
17:35you guys are good with all this yeah i was hoping to have it moved and set up today and
17:40washing rocks
17:40for night shifts so is your pad ready yeah better be
17:50don't break my wash plant he looked at you not me i should be looking at you first don't break
17:57my
17:58wash plant i can't promise you that hopefully these guys can get a wash plant moved hey paul we're
18:08ready to move this plant here mechanic alec kelly helps brennan move big red one mile to the far end
18:16of
18:16the golden mile oh this thing doesn't corner like a passenger car the main body of big red weighs 50
18:26tons
18:27and clocks in at 21 feet high
18:41come on
18:58plant off the low boy brennan must drag it into place on its new pad
19:07and make sure the plant comes up sort of square enough so we're not twisting like your pad here
19:17favor that side of the bank and then sort of like walk sideways out to leave enough room for big
19:22red's
19:23massive feeder belts brennan must maneuver the plant to the edge of the pad by dangling his 58 ton excavator
19:32over the 50 foot drop feeling better about that yeah now just walk your far track down into it
19:39how close am i ah like two feet am i gonna drop hard
19:47should be okay just lower your boom down as you go
19:54you just push yourself back too if you want it'll dig in there you go
20:01it sure sucks having tyson gone here right in the middle of a plant move like this
20:08yeah it's definitely feeling a little steeper than i thought it was
20:18you're coming and stop there
20:25that does look a little gnarly eh yeah not bad you guys better make sure you remind parker because
20:30he looked at me said are you sure you finished your pad yeah dude a lot of prep saves a
20:35lot of time
20:35you've still got a little ways to go here but i think you got her lined up pretty good
20:40next step bring in the feed conveyor that delivers the gold rich pay dirt to the plant
20:46we can start folding up our radio stacker just cross things are looking good
20:58hmm that definitely won't last the rest of the year that's for sure
21:03this clip here that clip there and that one down there our toast
21:10and all it takes is one bad clip to rip and then the whole belt could be garbage
21:17the metal clips that hold the 200 foot long belt together are nearly destroyed
21:27and we've got four seams in pretty condition so what is that what are you trying to tell me here
21:31i'm really wanting to hang a belt on this guy are you serious we have one one seam we'll have
21:37more uptime for later through the throughout the cold season well how long is this going to take if
21:43i can get it to the yard probably six eight hours have it buttoned up sucks man i told parker
21:48i'd have this thing moved in sluice and by night shift it's really your night shift the next day
21:55already near the end of the shift replacing the belt crushes brennan's timeline
22:03is that pissed me off you know that's a lot of sluice time loss that'll be a 24-hour period
22:09of no
22:10rocks getting run those piles are just too big to have a minute of downtime let alone 24 hours of
22:15it
22:26right now sluice lot is down so i gotta figure out something improvise something if there's anything
22:33to get that sluice box back up and going on the brink of breaking through his season goal
22:40one of tony's top money makers sluice a lot has been shut down by a broken tail pulley
22:47we tried ordering one but now we're talking about a week or two you cannot be down for two weeks
22:53we have to come up with something certainly with all the crap we have
22:57we can beg steal borrow some thing in order to keep on going
23:08let's have a peek this one there i was looking at that one here this one
23:17nice and thick is the inside 17 and a half oh that might be but even if it's not quite
23:25that'd be
23:25fine there 17 that'd be this perfect that would never break again i don't think so
23:34yeah what do you think i think it's a nice pipe oh boy okay you're out i think she'll do
23:42perfect
23:43shim it gentlemen well it's against it yeah yeah perfect perfect we should have this plan going
23:50before the end of the day after finding a pipe approximately the same diameter as the busted drum
23:58cousin mike and lynn need to cut it to size knock this out weld it on bingo have a boost
24:05fix a couple
24:06hours they'll have the thing welded up already i like it i think it'd be good you gotta do a
24:12boost fix today
24:17all right over there
24:21first what we're going to do is remove the side plate from the drum
24:38so i just got to clean that up so that we got a clean service to weld on that will
24:44make a more solid
24:45well too for the new drum all right
25:04now we have to line it up a little bit
25:14so everything looks just nice and straight it's gonna be a heavy pull
25:22double the weight of the old drum cousin mike must now install the new pulley on the conveyor
25:28to find out if it will work
25:33so if we can slide it in we can drop one side in try it yeah beautiful
25:40okay now lift the other end up
25:51can we put a chain on that yeah i'll put a chain on this one too
25:57yeah i'll uh slide it your way
26:03okay okay that drum looks good i'm very happy with how that looks oh yeah
26:14we are pretty much ready conveyor belt's done hanging back in the plant and uh
26:19then we're getting pretty close to uh it looking like a wash plant again
26:30there it is no one move no one move no one moves we're in all right we're in there now
26:36right on
26:37so uh all we're gonna do now is just get it bolted up we're in business
26:49perfect we won't get old enough to wear that out hopefully we're getting enough to get our season
26:54and roll in this week but we'll see it looks pretty good we'll be there for years and years
27:22back to full capacity tony's in the hunt for his 6 500 ounce gold target
27:29so what do you think i'll give you a warranty of 10 years how about that okay now i'll be
27:34back in 10 years
27:41there
28:02well plant's set up water lines in and we're just waiting on alec to get the radial stacker down here
28:07massive pay pile that the trucks keep adding to daily so we need to get through that
28:11after moving the bulk of big red in one shift stand-in foreman brennan ruo is itching to get back
28:19sluicing golden mile pain just keep buttoning a few things up here keep busy until he shows up with
28:26that so i want to be washing rocks here as fast as possible stopping brennan from firing up a busted
28:36200
28:37foot conveyor belt i know brennan was really hoping to get big red moved in one day but i've already
28:44slowed that timeline down to get it figured out looks like it's still me myself and i here for this
28:51project there's no spare hands to help come on so alec will need to think outside the box this is
28:59to help feed the new conveyor belt into the frame of the unit just like that
29:07string this guy out we'll cut the old one off rip the old belt out this way the rope gets
29:12caught in
29:12the frame tie the new belt onto the rope going through that snatch block pull on the rope new
29:17conveyor belt goes in that's how we get it get it assembled we'll cut this in half and rip it
29:25off
29:26that's in half start pulling
29:42the long belt
30:01so we've got the old belt pulled out of the conveyor frame worked really nicely
30:07get my rope back here and then uh pretty well reverse the procedure tie the new belt onto
30:13this rope end and drag it through again with the truck get this roll freed up lay it out next
30:19to the
30:19a mighty zoom boom next alec unspools the 5 500 pound roll of fresh belt
30:35this is perfect
30:43brand new belt so i have to make sure that i don't cut the belt too short i don't cut
30:49it too long
30:52i hope this is the right place
31:02you can't tie knots tie two
31:06done hook the other end of that rope up to mr truck and sort of drive out that way and
31:11this guy should
31:12feed in nicely to pull the new belt onto the conveyor and avoid snagging or ripping the new rubber
31:20alec has devised a unique solution
31:24so we've got a snatch block here just to direct the rope travel somewhere away from the path that our
31:32new
31:32belt will be taking to get into the conveyor so we're not driving over top of ourselves got everything
31:37rigged up there we go
32:17well we got our belt together i'm really satisfied the guys are itching for it and he's going to take
32:22the white kenworth there and hook it up to this guy here take it to brennan
32:27a day behind schedule brennan finally has the radial stacker back and is ready to test alec's belt fix
32:38this is the moment of truth here we go
32:48this is the moment of truth
32:52testing
33:00should we hit the shaker and get some dirt thrown at it i think so
33:06well i'm super happy to see the dirt going through big red again and i just hope parker's
33:11isn't happy 24 hours behind schedule big red is back sluicing golden mile pay dirt
33:25you're washing rocks day late and a dollar short brennan that's normal i'm more than a dollar short
33:34what do you mean you've got 80 000 yards of top gravel sitting there thank you guys for getting this
33:40thing rolling yeah you bet no problem it's a nice setup super clean i'm very happy right now
33:47we're going to have a hope in hell and getting through this pile and all the rest is going to
34:19come this way
34:20the road is reeling from a gut punch after spending a month and a million dollars he's
34:27hit a dead end at valhalla now he's expecting a visit from an old friend
34:35oh my god
34:35hey rick look at this how's it going man good buddy how you doing pretty good living the dream oh
34:40yeah
34:40good to see you how you doing i'm good how are you i'm great we were in the area i
34:46had to pick
34:46a rock truck had to look at the rock truck this morning yeah rock trucks i need some of those
34:50i got 30 of them and i need more yeah price of gold is good everything is running good the
34:55price of gold is good i see what you and you and parker are doing and i'm just like man
34:59am i
34:59missing something depths that we're going though i don't know that's uh that's getting a little out
35:03of hand for such a small crew but every now and then we'll hit some clay band and that mess
35:06you need
35:07a lot of trucks rick yeah we need a lot of drugs yeah and for that you need some of
35:11that gold stuff
35:11funny how that is that's right we should just go look at it there you go let's try the race
35:16car
35:16how's that it's got no brakes right now well who cares oh
35:33holy that's a hell of a hole pal yeah
35:46that's pretty scary young man see this bedrock we're staying on right here yeah and uh and it
35:53it goes down like that i'll have to come up with a new plan for that but and how many
35:57feet just

36:05with that yeah
36:05for the plus side for us yeah three to one three to one ratio yes yes any drill holes no
36:11vegas valley
36:13we opened up last year and you know that this is where the channel went down and we got all
36:17that out
36:17of there is there still a chunk in there yeah that's a chunk in there if you attack something like
36:22this
36:22yeah 10 15 trucks if not 20 yeah go like hell to really yeah to really open it up yeah
36:28it'd be something that'd be something i can't afford that so nice project yeah i like it it won't be
36:36until you get to the bottom right that's pretty much it yeah
36:46how did it go you learn anything new well you got a hole going down there
36:52but it is 150 down to 50 pay so that's not bad in order to do this you know you
36:59should go in big
37:01a lot of equipment as we talked about put a pile of in there yeah but it takes lots of
37:07money
37:07that takes lots of gold
37:12it's worked it's worked so far you know we've uh we've definitely stayed alive but it's uh this
37:17got me worried right a few bucks going in there before you get it right yeah yep kind of tough
37:24that's what's got me worried the most is you know i was hoping to be at this point pay this
37:29off and
37:29start really putting the money away and now it's turned into can i survive until i can start putting
37:33money away yeah hey you don't want to become a seller do i or joe yeah i don't know sometimes
37:41i'm
37:42wondering well well put a price on the table
37:48but me put a price right me put a price on the table yeah put a price on the table
37:52then you know
37:55take it all no worries
38:16what'd you sell this at duncan creek rick's just had a bombshell buyout offer dropped by the
38:24king of the klondike i would be serious interesting because i like these kind of projects
38:32if you want to discuss that i don't want these guys around
38:40at current prices rick's four miles of duncan creek claims could contain over 50 million dollars of gold
38:54you got the door i appreciate you stopping by hey it's always good nice to see you
39:06rick good luck catch you later man yep
39:28it's a weird situation to be in right now just uh with what tony said i just uh
39:34kind of i mean kind of hit me in a way i mean obviously i i know what i got
39:39here i know the value of it
39:44it just seems like at this point taking the money and running is just
39:52is it really smart or is it contrary to what i set up here to do you know it's
39:58a number with seven zeros on it gets thrown in your face like it's hard to
40:04it's hard to say no to that too
40:08i've never really been one to get pushed out of something when i wasn't ready for it but
40:13maybe i shouldn't be looking at it that way i don't know ah
40:19every time i think that you know i'm getting ahead i just get pushed backwards again and like you know
40:23that's it's whatever i'm not crying about it i'm here to take it i'm here to do it but like
40:27when is
40:28enough enough when there's a when there's a when there's a guarantee put in front of you when do you
40:32just say it i'll take that and i'll quit fighting um i've been saying like you know i was 30
40:40years
40:40old when i came up here 14 years ago and now i'm 70 but i don't know if that's a
40:43joke anymore
40:48you know yeah i'm not gonna have an answer today either so i got a lot to think about
41:16you know
41:17at the end of the week tyson has returned from his sister's wedding was there any good drama at your
41:27wedding no no boring no one pretty good man it's not a real wedding without at least one fist fight
41:35how did big reds move go brennan i wish you were there with us but we got it all set
41:40up
41:40had a delay though with that belt the radial stacker there and he's like i need to change the belt
41:45and i
41:45tried arguing with him you don't want to be the guy that goes to them at midnight and be like
41:49hey
41:50remember that belt and it's like minus 10 out the one you wanted to change like two weeks ago when
41:57it was still kind of warm and we told you not to
42:00but yeah other than not it went really smooth thanks for filling in while tyson was gone nice
42:05work man yeah thanks just hoping to make you proud there yeah tyson you want to see what bob did
42:10sure
42:11i think that says bob on there doesn't it oh yeah let's see how the bridge cut did first up
42:16parker's
42:17wash plant bob over the last two months it's been consistently averaging 150 ounces 40
42:27180 100 130 142.7 yeah bob's been pretty boring next up roxanne running pay dirt from ken and stewart's
42:47where last week it pulled in 123 ounces all right roxanne 60 100 120 130 134.3
43:05that's not bad finally big red sluicing the first pay dirt from the golden mile in two weeks

43:29week right you're just
43:30getting started so it's a start yeah no for sure last week we had 306.25 ounces this week it's
43:37317.25 worth
43:401.1 million dollars so we picked up 11 ounces and season total 7365.8 ounces this crawling towards
43:5410 000 ounces is painful at this pace parker will fall short of his 10 000 ounce goal we were
44:03racing
44:03earlier this season well i don't know how much i told you guys but there is a new plant showing
44:07up
44:08so we should be able to slam through some yardage and so hopefully that makes a difference hopefully
44:13you're ready for a good push we'll see
44:26so we went and visited rick i told him but if for some reason or another he wanted to partner
44:32up
44:32but he wanted to sell the joint yeah we could go over there dig a hole i suppose maybe we'll
44:39send you
44:40the key now mike yeah yeah so you're going to weigh some gold up or what we're almost at 6
44:50000
