00:03Darren's dream here that it's gonna be a family business and I can't see that
00:08happening in the fourth future unless we find something better here on this episode of mine
00:14rescue right now I'm really nervous I'm starting to shake a desperate mind oh and I saw that first
00:22nugget that was it it was I was game over reliant on his aging parents I've spent over 200,000
00:30myself
00:30I really don't like them up on the high stuff he is getting older so why gambles everything they
00:36have on gold fever if we don't hit something this year it's not gonna be feasible I would
00:44really feel like I let them down all right coming in to rescue both of mine and family
00:53I never actually realized that was bedrock like I had no clue it's a race to get them on the
00:58gold
00:59and back in the black wow unreal I just cannot believe that we did that in two hours
01:19you must be Jeff huh yeah one hey Jeff nice to meet you likewise yeah Sophia yeah there's no
01:27replacing Freddie but we'll do we'll do our best Juan arrives solo in central British Columbia after a
01:36distress call from Freddie as he deals with an emergency back home hey Juan got some bad news
01:43I'm not gonna be able to make it up there the flooding at the house just wiped me out I've
01:49got to get this fixed in his place he sends in his trusted father-daughter prospecting team
01:57Jeff and Sophia bond no that's great that you guys were able to come out and give us a hand
02:01let's do it their destination the caribou region and the dirt fish in mind or a gold drought has a
02:11family on the edge of financial crisis from what I understand you know this guy's got 700 acres out
02:18there it's a big claim you know hopefully we'll be able to get in there and do some prospecting yeah
02:23for sure yeah that's our specialty I spent many years with the Yukon geological survey working with
02:30placer miners trying to help them find gold and just really helping them be successful I've had my
02:37eyes on the ground since I could remember I just love finding gold it's just the treasure hunt is
02:42just so exciting it's really nice having Jeff and Sophia here I was a little worried coming out here
02:47without uh without Fred but honestly being able to get them here in such a short notice it was a
02:59lifesaver hey how you doing Darren I am how you doing good to meet you thanks hey Juan Rob Rob
03:05nice to meet you Rob so uh Freddie wasn't able to make it on this one so we got Jeff
03:09and Sophia
03:10they're both geologists okay that's awesome we've been around a lot of mines seen a lot of ground so
03:15we can hopefully get a better sense of where the better ground has been where it's been not so good
03:20oh that's great this is the whole crew huh or do you have other guys um my parents are just
03:23over
03:23there they're cleaning the gold from the last run right now and I love it because me and Robby will
03:28go dig pay my mom and dad will run the plant everything keeps moving nearly two decades ago Darren
03:35and dad Jerry took their first steps into the world of gold back in 2008 me and my dad would
03:43go up on the
03:44Fraser River and we'd do some panning and oh and I saw that first nugget that was it it was
03:48game over
03:48I had to go find my own claim the caribou region has been extensively mined so they spent seven
03:56years prospecting before they finally made their pick there was some workings but not a crazy amount
04:02we did some high banking and just picked a random hole out of nowhere and it turned out pretty good
04:08so
04:09it was just convincing my mom and dad who are in retirement if they wanted to do this Darren's first
04:16born knows it all that's coming from a mother but yes he's a hard worker the story is I have
04:25a son
04:26that decided he would like to try this out I quit my job to do this my last two years
04:32of wages put in
04:33here and we never made any money back never did yeah that's what we run this morning and so there's
04:39about I think he said he did 60 yards oh did I want to come not particularly but they needed
04:47a third
04:48hand I've spent probably over 200,000 myself my mom and dad came up here and didn't make a penny
04:56the
04:56whole time they were here and you know to be honest I need to pay them back if we don't
05:02hit something this
05:03year it's not gonna be feasible I would really feel like I let them down none of this would have
05:09been
05:09even possible without the two of them so at the end of the year I'd love to you know give
05:13them a
05:1310 ounce bar and send them on a vacation to Europe or wherever they want to go what about you
05:20my role
05:21up here is whatever it takes to get the pay to the plant and run it through I run the
05:25rock truck run
05:26the loader run the excavator whatever I can he's absolutely a big part of everything that goes on
05:33here for sure so how long have you guys been mining here this is season 11 we've had it as
05:39good as an
05:39ounce every 40 yards and as bad as an ounce every 400 every piece of ground is different here the
05:45claim
05:45is so big I have no idea how to even understand the geology of it all you had mentioned you
05:50had some
05:51of the gold that you got your last cleanup yeah we see it yeah you bet all right there's not
05:57a lot
05:57of fine in there now how much have you gotten so far we're sitting around 12 ounces now okay
06:02now what's your goal for this year my target is going to be 150 ounces Wow okay in the few
06:13months
06:13remaining of Darren's season he needs close to two ounces per day to hit his target I really need to
06:20get
06:20150 ounces so that I can make everything viable I've got all my money invested in this then my
06:27mom and dad's as well so that that's where the stress is it's a big deal very big deal okay
06:32well
06:33you know what we want to do is uh we want to fire up we want to do a two
06:36-hour test run okay you guys
06:38want to get your things together and start taking a look at the cut come on baby show me the
07:07gold
07:09Rob loads pay into the eight-foot hopper where it funnels into a 24-foot long trauma a spray bar
07:18washes
07:19the rocks in the drum pushing finer material into a 20-foot sluice where gold should be caught
07:31now this pay looks pretty good hope there's some gold in it the way that he's feeding the plant right
07:38now he has to go so slow because all those bigger rocks right now so that way he doesn't drop
07:43them
07:43into that hopper and fog it up test underway this must be where Darren's getting his pay from up here
07:52Jeff and daughter Sophia sneak a look at Darren's cut to assess the quality of dirt it's not a bad
08:00looking gravel there yeah good amount of clay what I noticed though just coming down here this is what
08:07the gravel sitting on it's a full fed rock and what concerns me about this is this is likely a
08:16glacial
08:18lake laid down by melting ice sediment from a glacial lake forms into a hard surface known as false bedrock
08:27gold may rest on this layer but far less than on true bedrock where water has had millions of years
08:35to re-concentrate the deposit on a glacial lake surface like this it's probably just one event that's
08:43happened so we're looking for something potentially accumulated gold over a longer period of time okay
08:50so where do you think we should take our pants we'll take one from the false bedrock contact yeah being
08:57able to find bedrock for Darren is just incredibly valuable for him so it will definitely provide some
09:03higher grades and some more knowledge for him back at the plant Irene takes up loading duties
09:13to get as much pay as they can through the plant oh great this can't be good Juan's looking at
09:21the plant
09:24you can tell that they're screening really big look how big that is the problem with that is you start
09:30screening that big you start losing a lot of your fine gold
09:42so you can see a couple pieces in here there's there's quite a few so that's more than what's
09:47acceptable we're gonna have to figure out what we can do there to be able to help them with that
09:50fine
09:51gold recovery
09:59more guys okay it's a two-hour run yep you want to tell your mom to cut it off yeah
10:04you
10:04shut it down guys thank you last bucket you know Irene you're actually a pretty decent operator uh if
10:25you want you know I can offer you a job in Reno running you know what I might take it
10:30be careful what you ask if you guys want to clean it up and uh I'll be back in the
10:34morning we'll do a
10:35gold way sounds good all right sounds great thank you thank you thanks one one thing's for sure you
10:39know I know they're losing gold the plant needs a lot of repair you know between the hopper the
10:44sluice box and also the spray bars there's a ton of work that needs to be done I feel for
10:48Darren
10:48and I want to help him pay his parents back coming up this has to be the good pay it
10:55has to be all
10:56hands are going to be on deck okay we're going to try to get as much done as we can
11:02how's it going
11:03now we found a spot the test didn't turn out at all right now I'm really nervous I really want
11:07this to work let's wait huh you ready what it is holy there she is at the champ mine in
11:25British
11:25Columbia it's the moment of truth from the two-hour test run well let's weigh it up okay
11:33to hit his goal by the end of the season this test must produce over a third of an ounce
11:44there it is a tenth of an ounce
11:50there's at least gold there but you know the the one thing that I really am worried about is I
11:55think
11:56we're losing a lot of that fine gold oh wow but also one of the concerns they have is I
12:01think
12:01we're sending the wrong material to the plant okay I want to be ambitious with what we do here so
12:08give me a few minutes we're gonna talk and see what we can come up with and we'll go from
12:11there
12:11okay all right I'll see you in a bit yeah the gold way didn't go well at all point one
12:17of an ounce
12:17I think a lot of it you know has to do with the ground that we were running we need
12:22to understand
12:23where the gold actually is deposited that's the hardest thing to figure out
12:30what are your thoughts on the prospecting so it's a false bedrock but he's running right now what we
12:35want to find is a gravel underneath that lake sediment something better at the bottom it's got more gold in
12:40it older gravel okay that's a great time to be able to bring Darren down there to teach him how
12:45to read the
12:46ground because really at the end of the day what we teach him now he'll have forever well sounds like
12:52a plan we definitely got our work cut out for us all right Sophia and Jeff are gonna spend as
13:01much
13:01time as they can for you know prospecting to try to help you guys find areas and target zones to
13:06go
13:06after but as part of that you know Jeff wants you there also so you can kind of start teaching
13:12you
13:12what to look for you know and how to read the ground perfect as far as the plant goes what
13:17I
13:17want to do is build a completely new hopper we're gonna build a new set of Grizzlies as well and
13:21then
13:22for your fine gold recovery I'm gonna actually cut perforations in your trommel drum build a new 24
13:27inch sluice box that's 20 foot long that sounds awesome that's nice in a major rebuild to increase
13:35productivity one will fabricate a brand new two-ton steel hopper topped with six inch thick Grizzly bars
13:45to separate out large boulders fine gold will pass through 60 engineered slits cut around the trommel
13:53and will feed into a new 20 foot sluice specifically for fine gold Jeff and Sophia's mission give Darren
14:04invaluable prospecting know-how and redirect him to gold rich ground we're kind of in the realm of
14:11about $15,000 for material and then we're thinking about an ounce of peace at the end of the season
14:22um what do you think I don't think we have a choice I don't think we either no let's do
14:28it let's do it
14:29okay well let's do it all right well we'll get to work we've been fighting up here for quite a
14:34while
14:35it's becoming more and more difficult to keep pushing forward so hopefully his fixes catch all
14:43that gold that I'm missing not only for myself but my mom and dad as well
14:54so what I'm working on right now is getting the hopper design Juan's first challenge build a monster
15:01new six by four foot steel hopper that will feed pay into the trommel I got some measurements on the
15:09framework that we have existing on the plant what we have to do is we have to custom build a
15:13hopper
15:14to go inside that honestly we're stretched really thin right now hey Trav calling because I need you
15:21and Alex to head this way yeah leave as soon as you can we definitely got our plate pool here
15:28at one's cut
15:30trailer a 40,000 degree plasma beam cuts his designs out of half-inch thick steel that hopper right now
15:38the bottom consists of about five pieces the top is another six or seven pieces and then the Grizzlies
15:44are going to be another you know 150 pieces so really it's like a jigsaw puzzle you know we got
15:48to get
15:48everything cut out and then we can start slapping it together and get it all welded out
15:58okay here we go to make way for one's hopper fix Darren Jerry Rob and operator Davey must first
16:07remove the old one yeah he's gonna burn a hole so we can put chain hooks in on all four
16:13corners so we
16:15can lift us straight up I love my work that's why I'm still doing it at 75 I really don't
16:24like him up
16:24on the high stuff oh he is getting older so am I so there you go
16:36I was age six my dad was a heavy-duty mechanic and my job was to watch everything he did
16:44and handle the right tool for the job and if I didn't look out
16:49that's the way it was Darren's my stepson but he's still my son we talked about mining when he was
16:56growing up as a kid and always kind of was a passion you're always on a treasure hunt so Darren's
17:03dream here
17:04that it's gonna be a family business and I can't see that happening in the fourth future unless we find
17:09something better here tough nut to crack we'll move the crane over here in a minute we're all done all
17:15done
17:23there we go nice almost there it was welded in more than we thought I just wanted to make sure
17:30that they're doing okay see how far along we've gotten how we doing gentlemen hey guy how's it going
17:35good it's coming along so what are you gonna do just uh cut it and then yet lift it out
17:40the top
17:41give her a rip and see what happens then we'll know where it's attached just yank it just pull
17:47as hard as you can just keep on yanking until it sounds expensive huh yeah that's usually what I get
17:54told too that's exactly how it goes most of the times Darren's idea to wrap a chain on it and
18:02pull
18:03until she breaks free well I don't think it'll let go I think there's too much weld still holding it
18:08in
18:10place operator Rob Benjamin has been mining with Darren for 11 years but takes other work to keep
18:17his head above water at the moment we're just scraping by if this were to succeed that would give me
18:23the
18:24opportunity to move up here work full-time and support my family give her a shot try it yeah nice
18:37and easy
18:45yeah it's coming give it a jerk hey what is it attached to still it's like it's stuck on something
19:04there it is yeah we got it oh my god beautiful
19:23let's try over here old hopper removed Darren joins Jeff and Sophia half a mile up the creek let's
19:32have a look here for his first prospecting master class man it's hard yeah I think that's bedrock yeah
19:39this is a good spot Darren it's really quite a consolidated gravel down here and then you get
19:44into this more of a sandy layer I can go show the contact if you'd like so just up here
19:54quite loose
19:57at this surface it's actually quite flat right here that contact is quite even quite flat bedrock is much
20:05much older and it's harder and so that change in hardness is really what we're looking for yeah
20:12yeah that's that's super obvious here that'll be where you get your best gold and then this is
20:18still quite soft but that that's your bedrock over time the weight of gold makes it sink through the
20:26ground but once it reaches bedrock it can't fall any further this is exactly what we're looking for
20:33this is your bedrock and the good news is it's outcropping here it's exposed and it's really not far
20:40below the surface I never actually realized that was bedrock yeah until you guys were here like I
20:45had no clue like I just thought it was just more gravel just dig it up and keep going there
20:49so yeah
20:49one of my biggest things of struggling is trying to identify where all the gold is and understanding
20:55the geology of the process yeah you're looking for a lot of volume to make it pay but we can't
21:02mind this
21:02close to the stream despite the promising bedrock fine environmental laws prevent any mining within 33
21:11feet of the river so we've identified bedrock here we know what it looks like so we need to go
21:18identify
21:18something like this elsewhere on your property it's very unfortunate that I can't mine it because it's too
21:26close to the creek but they explained everything so very well that I can actually understand what I'm
21:31actually looking at now looks like it oh yeah in British Columbia at Darren champs dirt fish in mine
21:53one's rescue reinforcements Alex and Travis arrived good thing you guys are here we got three weeks
22:01worth of work that we got to cram into just a few days so let's get going guys their first
22:06task
22:08help join the two pieces together for the new hopper good good good good good that will help Darren and
22:14his family up their production hit it that closed it up
22:26well we got this on its side now what we're gonna do is we're gonna put the ribs that go
22:29across here
22:29that way it supports the side so when we get material they don't bulge out
22:36that's good right there
22:40ah look at that now we're talking
22:48now this looks interesting Darren we got boulders here that's a good sign though
22:55we should sample this we're gonna see what's in the bottom of this hole hopefully something testable
23:18it's not looking too good really not much better what they're getting up there no based on our initial
23:24findings the gravel it does not carrying a lot of gold and what gold is showing up in our pans
23:31he's
23:31probably losing in a sluice box so those two things are discouraging poor results and short
23:39on time Jeff makes a call hey Freddie how are you doing we found a spot that looked really good
23:48it had
23:50all the elements of of having good gold but turned out to be a bust I thought we'd give you
23:56a shout and
23:57see if you could give us some pointers I've done quite a bit of work in that area but you
24:02know as
24:02well as I do every Creek's different right yeah is there any Chinese workings in there usually where
24:07they were at there was gold I haven't seen any yet but we can certainly go look for some
24:15most of the Chinese miners who made their way to the caribou gold fields came from the Pearl River
24:22Delta region of Guangdong province they quickly became invaluable developing simple but innovative
24:30techniques to extract fine gold but working mostly by hand they struggled to reach bedrock on deposits
24:39containing large boulders yeah just look for Chinese workings okay yeah well we'll keep you posted on
24:46what we find so talk to you later sir yeah take care bye-bye well here she comes look at
24:57that Robbie
24:58oh that's beautiful can't wait to chuck rocks at it at the wash plant the next question is if the
25:08refabricated two-ton hopper will fit into place it's the moment of truth we're going to try to see
25:16if that fits in there the way we had it planned honestly you never know until it actually goes in
25:23hold it hold it what are we catching on have them lift it back up you got to go up
25:34it's caught in the bottom
25:35there you go there she is boom out stick out slowly down Dave
25:55there you go right there I like it that's perfect look at that eh the first piece of the puzzle
26:04is it's
26:05perfect it's hard not to smile when you see something like that we're exactly where I wanted
26:10to be today I wanted to get that hopper in place to make sure it fit and it fits perfectly
26:14so that's a
26:15big relief tomorrow's gonna be a bunch more work but at least we kind of see a little light at
26:19the end
26:29of the tunnel let's try over here that was an old cabin look at that yeah they were here following
26:40Freddy's hunch Jeff and Sophia are on the hunt for evidence of methodical Chinese mining looks like an old
26:48dam you're right that is a dam that could very well be Chinese workings they would have impounded the
26:57water behind the dam and then likely just let it go catastrophically as a ground sluice look at the
27:04size of the tree coming out of it that is huge 1800s yeah so really good evidence of Chinese workings
27:12it
27:13looks like we're in the right place here yeah let's get Darren in here with the excavator and dig a
27:19test
27:19pit and see what we can find okay
27:29this is how I'm going to learn yeah yeah we hit a boulder layer right on bedrock that's a great
27:36sign
27:36that's good oh yeah there's some big boulders
27:44but we like to see boy Didi
27:51I think it's a boulder layer right on bedrock okay the boulders are sticking on bedrock there's a good
27:57chance the boulders definitely yeah you think about that placer effect yeah and the reworking and the
28:04erosion of material yeah you're always putting your heaviest stuff on the bottom okay oh yeah
28:10that's a big one there huge wow can you imagine the Chinese moving that stuff around no you're not
28:17moving that let's hope there's a lot of yellow down there with it yeah I got a color change down
28:22there it's changing into a more blue color down there is that bedrock down there well that looks
28:29good that looks that looks really good so the color change is obviously from just different minerals
28:34and stuff like that right so that bedrock was an old gravel and it's coming from a different source
28:39rock in general and so I'm I'm encouraged by that plus look at the size of the rock that's come
28:45out of
28:45here that's fantastic some really big rock how much gold is through the whole thing really so we need
28:50to take a representative sample so what we're gonna do here yeah is is we're gonna take four or five
28:56gallon pails that's that's about a tenth of a loose cubic yard okay and just so we're always sampling
29:04volume testing for five gallon pails of material taken from multiple spots in the test hole should
29:13give a better understanding of how much gold is at bedrock this could be a game-changer that gravel if
29:19it's got a lot of gold and it is definitely going to change things around here today's the big day
29:38it's going to be a long day we got a lot to do at darren champs caribou mine 24 hours
29:44remain before the
29:45final test run all hands are going to be on deck I got all the guys here we're going to
29:50try to get
29:50as much done as we can hopefully by the end of the night we'll be ready to run first order
29:57of the
29:57day start the new fine gold recovery circuit by adding these slits in the trommel what we're going
30:03to do is we're going to allow that material that smaller material to drop out so it has a chance
30:07to
30:07get washed properly instead of going down with the big sluice and fighting with that bigger material
30:12cutting a series of footlong slits in the trommel will allow smaller gold rich material to pass into
30:20the new sluice all that fine material is going to go down this box and be able to get recovered
30:26where it's not competing with the bigger material watch your eyes all we have left to do is put this
30:37little back piece and then a ramp and then it's ready to go we're going to load it up and
30:41get it up
30:42to the plant and get it installed
30:46all right so these are the samples from the test pit we did today looks like really good gravel and
30:56five feet to bedrock and yeah we'll see what's in it all right thanks irene irene cleans up the pay
31:04dirt
31:04from the 20 gallon sample jeff sofia and darren took from the cut we've got high hopes yes we do
31:12and this is a slow process as well definitely we want to be as meticulous as we can which i
31:18know you
31:18are well what are we doing here this is the test pit sample this is uh hopefully got the money
31:26in it jerry
31:27okay okay i'm guess hey just give me a shot i gotta get some welding rod up the other job
31:31okay sounds
31:32good hey buddy so i noticed that uh jerry hasn't stopped uh working for a few days now he loves
31:41to
31:41work he's only got one gear yeah and that's work keep going if there's something to do i gotta get
31:46it done
31:48but a lifetime of hard work and the stress of a failing mind has taken its toll on jerry

33:33we've got something to show you what you got check out these two pans irene's 20 gallon sample run
33:41complete jeff and sophia take the results to jerry and darren this will be really easy to catch in your
33:49sluice this material is going to fall out like right away that's heavy enough that it'll catch it and
33:54hopefully we'll be running this material in the plant hey we'll be in the money now hey wouldn't
34:00that be something oh that'll pay bills yeah well that's awesome the results are promising but it's
34:09the test run tomorrow that will tell them if the new material and juan's plant fixes have turned their
34:16fortunes around there's hope there's actually hope now in mining there's so many highs and so many
34:24lows you hope that around the next corner the next hole is going to give you the riches and the
34:29rewards
