00:18The Golden Goose is here, washed by number five, right on.
00:24New toys, man, new toys.
00:27Hopefully it lives up to its name.
00:33I ordered a brand new plant, the Golden Goose.
00:37It's going to do more yardage than any of the plants we have here.
00:41It's going to have a good recovery rate, and it's brand new, so it should have really good
00:44uptime.
00:45It's coming a very good time because we have a lot of sluicing to do, and this plant, I'm
00:50sure it's going to get the job done.
00:51Parker Schnabel is trying to claw back lost time.
00:56After pulling the plug on his biggest producing cut, the Golden Mile, his gold numbers have
01:03plummeted.
01:04Now, to get back to full capacity, he spent a million dollars on a new wash plant, the
01:11Golden Goose.
01:12I'm looking forward to getting that thing built and fired up, get the ATM back up and
01:18rolling.
01:21As far as firing a fourth plant up goes, the slucifer's ready to fire back up, but we're
01:25actually not going to.
01:26We're going to park it for the season.
01:28We'll finish up on Dominion with the Golden Goose plus Big Red in the Golden Mile.
01:35At his main property, Dominion, Parker is finally coming to the end of a three-week mission to
01:42mine out the Golden Mile.
01:44They're just about done hauling all the pay out of the Golden Mile, put it in big piles,
01:49sluice the pile, super simple.
01:51So what's the worst that can happen?
01:56Parker's crew are removing the final bit of pay left in the Golden Mile and building
02:02two giant pay mountains 4,000 feet apart.
02:07Parker has already got Big Red sluicing one mountain.
02:12Now he wants to clean out the cut, fire up the Golden Goose and hit full tilt by the end
02:19of the week.
02:24Every rock truck is being used to try and get every single last bit of pay out of the
02:29Golden Mile.
02:30We're going to need to move really fast here, that's for sure.
02:34We've got a lot of pay still in the Golden Mile, so we've just got to focus on getting that
02:38out so we can start sluicing with Goose.
02:41You know, it's a lot of work setting up a new wash plant, and Parker wants this new plant
02:46sluicing yesterday.
02:50Well guys, what do you say we put her together?
02:53Once this thing's good to go, I think we've got a job for her.
02:56The Golden Goose will come to the rescue.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Helping build the Golden Goose, wash plant expert Jeff Turnell.
03:04This plant's got to run a lot of material.
03:07There's a few upgrades that we've done.
03:09We got the sluice run extensions, that was an add-on that Parker wanted.
03:13We've done some modifications to the deck to make it better, to make it more efficient,
03:17so it's faster in the field.
03:20Hey guys, my plan right now is to lift the main plant up, we'll put the skids underneath it,
03:26and slam in the pins.
03:27Throw the hopper on, and the bear, and then it's just a bunch of little pieces to turn it into
03:31a plant.
03:32Sounds good.
03:33Get this thing shaking.
03:36First, attach the hydraulic skids, the foundation for the 45-ton wash plant.
03:44You can go up, Jordy.
03:47Going up.
03:51Okay, we're in the air, guys.
03:55This is one of the most stressful parts of the whole process.
03:58We got a 45,000-pound plant here.
04:03Everything's hanging on cables, bouncing off to different lifting devices.
04:08The crane and the loader here.
04:11Trying to get these pontoons lined up.
04:13You're talking less than a millimeter.
04:15I'll be some happy when these pins are in and this thing is sitting on its own feet.
04:20It's drifting, so let's get her done.
04:24I've had max weight for this crane to pick one end of this plant.
04:28Boom drifts when it's at max.
04:32Okay, let's just not mess around and let's just put it under now.
04:36Okay.
04:40There.
04:40That's good?
04:41Damn, it's right there.
04:42Where's that pin?
04:46Jordan, down just a smidge?
04:48Yeah, a little more.
04:54It's creeping quick.
04:55Oh, yeah.
04:58Oh, .
04:59It's kind of a trying to line the pins up when it's drifting.
05:05Get ready.
05:06Okay, guys, we're lined up.
05:08Yeah.
05:10Hit it, hit it.
05:13Okay.
05:14Okay.
05:15Let's get this one in.
05:17Hit it.
05:22There it is.
05:23That's outside.
05:25But we're getting her.
05:26Let's try that.
05:28There it is.
05:30Okay.
05:32Give that a hit.
05:38Perfect.
05:40Hard part done.
05:42As Jeff and the mechanics bolt on the remaining wash plant pieces.
05:48We are really up against it right now.
05:51Parker's mining crew hustles pay a third of a mile to the giant pay mountain.
05:57If we don't get all this payout on time, then, you know, I'm sure Parker's not going to be a
06:02very happy man.
06:06Oh, .
06:08It looks like the guys are moving Golden Goose already.
06:13We are under a lot of pressure here.
06:16The race is on.
06:17We've got to get this payout as soon as possible.
06:22We've got to get this new plant together in record time.
06:25We're dragging Goose into place, into its pad.
06:29They're still working on getting the payout of the Golden Mile.
06:32Can't have that brand new wash plant sitting there doing nothing,
06:35and we really need to get it catching some gold for us.
06:37So we've got to get the payout of the hole.
06:41Start turning towards the front of the pad.
06:45Okay. Thanks, John.
06:48That's good.
06:49Keep going a bit more.
06:50You've got two feet on the other side.
06:56That'll be good.
06:58Yeah.
07:00Well, thanks, dude.
07:01Good work, Tyson.
07:03Now we have a lot of pay stockpiled here for Golden Goose.
07:06Hopefully we can get it fired up here.
07:08We're down a quarter of our sluicing capacity.
07:11So we have no time to waste.
07:37So we have no time to waste.
07:40Quantipenslee is living high on the hog.
07:43Last week, he blew past his sixty-five hundred ounce gold,
07:48amassing 23 million dollars worth of gold.
07:53And with over a month left in season, he's still got big plans.
07:58Mike is losing from Paradise Hill and the Indian River in the corner cut here.
08:05Two plants losing away day and night. It doesn't take much to make a fortune right now.
08:11The most important thing you do in life is think of what comes next.
08:18So Peter's acquired a whole bunch of new property. It's called Wounded Mouse.
08:23I paid four million bucks for it.
08:25All total there is 213 flames that could set up two, three generations.
08:32There's nothing better than owning ground.
08:36Happy days, as they say. Happy days.
08:43We have arrived at Wounded Mouse. I'm super excited.
08:52So I did this one cut these people did.
08:55But I mean, you can see there is virgin ground over there.
09:01In all reality, I never thought it was going to happen.
09:04We paid a pile of money for it, and I never even bothered testing it.
09:08But, for instance, the thing is your neighbor only sells once, so this can go by. Quick.
09:16Wounded Moose is four miles east from Tony's Indian River claims.
09:22And just one mile south of the land he leases to his son Kevin.
09:28The 2,400 acres of partially mined ground is a turnkey operation coming with a trommel, excavators, and a camp.
09:39Tony believes his new purchase could deliver up to $200 million in gold.
09:47But he hasn't tested it.
09:50Without no risk, there is no gain either.
09:52I mean, if you don't do something stupid, well, you're never going to win now, are you?
09:56Right? So let's do some panning. I'll see if we can find something.
10:01So there's some junk laying around. We'll send the crew in there to pick it all up.
10:09Yeah, see? Bingo. Bedrock.
10:13See that? The fractured bedrock. See that?
10:17And there is the gravel, right above it.
10:20Well, I'm just going to take a pan.
10:22That's where the good stuff is supposed to hide.
10:24I just want to see, did I screw up? Did I do it right?
10:31You know what would even be a better show?
10:34Now, finally . Now, wouldn't that be a bummer, huh?
10:43Oh, .
10:53It'll be very interesting to see as to what we're going to get out of this pan.
10:57Tony Beetz has taken one of the biggest gambles of his life.
11:02Spending $4 million on new ground.
11:07Wounded moose without testing it.
11:10Proof is in the pudding, isn't that what they say?
11:13So we'll see.
11:19I mean, hello. Look at this. Look how fine that crap is. Look how much it's there. It is all
11:27over. You see then?
11:29I think if this was in Las Vegas, that's why you call hitting a jackpot.
11:34So it's very, very exciting to take your first pan out of a piece of property like that and come
11:40up with that kind of gold.
11:42Yes, sir. It could turn out very well.
11:46My grandson, Egan, Mike and Minnie are going to come here and have a look.
11:51It's pretty exciting.
11:54Hi, young lady.
11:56Hey, guys.
12:01There is plenty of opportunity here, I think.
12:08So what do you think, Mike?
12:10Oh, yeah. There's lots to do here.
12:12I'd like to get started here quick.
12:13The previous owner stripped this already. So I think what we're going to do is we're going to get Herald.
12:18We quit sluicing with that on the hill. And then we'll bring it over here. Do a little bit of
12:24sluicing down there. See what kind of gold we're going to get out of there. Bingo.
12:28Cool. That works out perfect.
12:32So you're going to be stuck here for a little while, young fella.
12:35Am I?
12:37Well, you're up for running this one?
12:42Yes.
12:42Okay. See, on half of it. We'll mine at 50-50.
12:50If my dad were to croak, I'd be the one to take over operations here.
12:54After years yearning to have his own mine.
12:58You gave Kevin a bunch of help getting him going. So is there anything you're going to help us with?
13:01This season, Mike pushed for a chance to prove he could cut it as a mine boss.
13:08Let's get these two places here going first and then we'll talk.
13:11But not making any promises until I have that in place. Right?
13:15Two weeks ago, Mike delivered.
13:19121.56.
13:24I've ran on the hill for 20 years.
13:28Now, this is my chance to run my own mine.
13:31This is coming out of my pocket and more of it going back into my pocket.
13:37I think Mike will be happy with it.
13:39Well, since Kevin is all set up, why not set up Mike too?
14:01Easy on the turns, please. Don't need to do that sharp.
14:06When we went away from Tony, we really wanted to show that we can run a gold mine on our
14:10own.
14:10We did it for one year. Now we've got to make sure it's not just luck.
14:16There is a chance we could have it all collapse on us, you know?
14:19A mile northwest, Tony's eldest son, Kevin Beetz, is under pressure.
14:25He's mined over $2.5 million in gold.
14:29But with the season running out, he needs more than double that to hit his 2,000-ounce gold.
14:36The main thing is that we keep the plant going 24-7, because this is what keeps us afloat.
14:41But it is getting to the end of the season, so we've just got to do one last big push.
14:47This is where it really counts.
14:50Obviously, it's quite stressful at the moment, but we're all doing our best. Some more than others.
14:57Hell yeah!
15:00Taven was constantly whipping around like a headless chicken, which is really hard on the equipment.
15:05He kind of needs to learn that there's repercussions for some of his actions.
15:10It's not good.
15:12Kevin, do you copy Kevin?
15:14Go for Kevin.
15:16Taven's going too fast.
15:18In the loader.
15:19Seems to be a bit of a reoccurring problem.
15:21Rock truck driver Ayla Mitchell hauls gold-rich pay from the seven-acre Sphinx Cutting,
15:291,200 feet to the pay pile, where loader operator Taven Peterson feeds it into the plant.
15:36I'm really enjoying it here at Kevin's.
15:40Working hard.
15:41Running the loader as fast as I possibly can.
15:44It's crunch time.
15:45We've got to get as much done as we can.
15:58I keep getting messed up.
16:01That's not great.
16:03Why is it going so fast?
16:04The pile is right there.
16:08Hey Taven, Taven, got a copy?
16:10What's up?
16:10You're going to have to slow it down quite a bit, okay?
16:13You're going way too fast.
16:16Okay, copy that.
16:18Thank you, thank you.
16:20Uh...
16:22I didn't think I was going too fast.
16:25We're going to have to fix this, because we really don't have the margin and error
16:29for like, someone beating the crap out of the loader.
16:32I mean, if that loader goes down, the plant will be down for some time.
16:36You can't have that.
16:41Uh...
16:41It really bums me out, I was told, to slow down.
16:44I mean, I can barely even keep up to the plant.
16:47I don't want to get fired again for something stupid like going too fast.
16:54Unfortunately, we're going to have to let you go, Taven.
16:56You just have a really **** attitude.
16:59Six weeks ago, Taven was fired from Parker's operation.
17:03I've given you ample opportunity to do what is asked of you, and you still do it Taven's way.
17:10For not following instructions, and running his loader too fast.
17:15You boast about how many loads you can get in an hour.
17:18Who does that?
17:20See, right now, you're still telling me that you're right.
17:22Get out of here. Go. Get out of here.
17:28This is sad.
17:36Very frustrating.
17:38It's not sinking in.
17:40Just unnecessary wear and tear on the engines, and completely shred my transmission.
17:47Might have to **** switch them out.
17:53We really can't have a goal total jeopardized just by one guy going too **** fast.
18:03All right.
18:04Hello, ma'am.
18:05Hi, Kev.
18:08We've got a bit of a problem.
18:09Taven, our loader operator, has been speeding, and he's been told many times to not.
18:15It's not great.
18:18We'll have to take him off.
18:20Take him off the loader, put him on a truck?
18:22Yeah.
18:23But who are we going to send to replace him?
18:26We could train up Ayla?
18:30Kinda hesitant on Ayla.
18:32The fact that we have to train someone up is cutting into our time for sluicing.
18:39If Taven wrecks one of the machines, well, we'd be down for even longer, so it's a **** choice.
18:45It just sucks.
18:48Are you going to spearhead this one?
18:50Yeah, I'll take the lead.
18:52And you train Ayla.
18:54I think I can do that, yeah.
18:56Well, good luck, ma'ams.
18:58Taven, can I see you by the office, please?
19:03Yeah, I'll be right there.
19:06Let's go talk to the kid.
19:13Hey.
19:14How's it going?
19:15Not great.
19:18Heard you've been speeding in the loader.
19:21I feel like I've been slowing down quite a bit, though, lately, or...
19:26You're going to talk about it.
19:28You have to learn from your **** ups.
19:30Sorry, it was just an adjustment coming from Parker's where Tyson trained us, like, to run the loaders as fast
19:36as possible, so...
19:38Yep.
19:38Yeah, but we're not at Parker's.
19:40I know.
19:40We're here like Kevin Beats' claim.
19:43And that's how we set it up, so that you can go slow and easy.
19:46Okay.
19:49So, we're going to throw you on the rock truck.
19:51Give you another chance.
19:53Well, I appreciate the second chance.
19:56Don't **** up.
19:58Okay.
20:00She can be a bit scary, but this is a new mind that I'm working for, so I'm going to
20:06have to fit in or **** off.
20:08I don't know.
20:25Here we go.
20:29Hey, Tyson, have you got a coffee, Tyson?
20:31Yep, go ahead, India.
20:33Yep, that is the last of the pay out of the Golden Mile.
20:37Now I've just handed it over.
20:39Right on.
20:40Nice work.
20:40You killed it.
20:42Sluice, baby.
20:43Sluice.
20:44Parker's crew has finally mined out Dominion's Golden Mile.
20:49Wash plant Big Red is already sluicing one giant pay pile from the cut.
20:57Just **** put it in there.
20:58Just put it down.
20:59Now, Parker's eager to make up for lost time.
21:03Just fling that ****, man.
21:05And get the fastest wash plant in his arsenal, the Golden Goose, running the newly finished second pay pile.
21:17There's a lot going on up here right now at the old Golden Mile.
21:23We're digging a ditch up the valley so that the new plant can get water, and we're trying to get
21:28the water to come like several thousand feet upstream, which is a pretty big feat.
21:33It's like we're compensating for probably 15 feet of just, like, elevation in the valley.
21:39The other problem is that plant setup is very high, so I don't know how much water pressure we're going
21:45to be able to push that far up there.
21:49To supply water to the Golden Goose, Parker and his crew face two obstacles.
21:56First, he needs to finish a 100-foot-deep ditch from an old pond to link it to the goose's
22:04new intake pond and fill it.
22:07Second, install a hose from a pump up to the wash plant's 160-foot-high pad.
22:14If all goes to plan and the water pressure is sufficient, Parker's new million-dollar plant will fire up for
22:23the first time.
22:29All right, I think that looks pretty good.
22:35Hey, Caden, go ahead and let that water rip and see if we've got enough drop here and we can
22:41get this plant fired up.
22:44I'm just getting ready to let some water in to the pond area.
23:09It looks like this is working.
23:18It looks like this is working.
23:20Next, mechanics Alec Kelly and Liam Pukola press on with the last stage of the new plant setup.
23:30We're dragging Golden Goose's water line in place here.
23:38It is a long run up to the plant.
23:43The main concern we're going to be having is if we can't get enough water going to goose, then we're
23:48not using it to its max potential and we're not going to be able to run the yardage Parker wants.
23:53This might have just been all for nothing.
23:56We've just got the suction basket into place and we'll be pumping water to the plant shortly.
24:02We'll see if she pumps water.
24:04I hope it does.
24:12Hopefully nothing goes wrong because we've got to get this thing fired up.
24:15Yeah, I'll send water on your call.
24:17Okay.
24:19A lot of our season is riding on this right here.
24:21Is the plant going to be able to do what we need it to?
24:24Ready when you are, buttercup.
24:29Okay, water pump is loading up.
24:34You nervous?
24:35I'm nervous.
24:36Do you see the air coming out of it?
24:38See the dust?
24:38Come on, you thing.
24:40Come on.
24:42Oh, oh.
24:44Yeah!
25:04All righty, India.
25:06Want to start feeding?
25:07Here we go.
25:08First scoop in the goose.
25:09Hell yeah.
25:10It's exciting.
25:33Good job, guys.
25:35Congratulations on your new purchase.
25:37I mean, I'm just glad it worked.
25:40Yeah.
25:40Me too.
25:44So what?
25:45Did you want to go for yardage on this?
25:48Like 220 yards an hour?
25:5130.
25:52230?
25:53Okay.
25:54I just want to smash through that pile.
26:05What?
26:06I just put it up a little more.
26:08It's 270 yards an hour.
26:10What's the point of having a brand new plant if you're not going to, like, thunder it?
26:15That wasn't what I was going to say, but yeah.
26:17Yeah.
26:18Yeah.
26:21Something sounds weird.
26:25Oh, .
26:28Oh, the belt's dry.
26:30.
26:31Okay, there's obviously a problem here.
26:43Oh, boy.
26:46Alex!
26:47Oh, no.
26:49Stop running around.
26:51You got a bar?
26:53One right there.
26:57He's got a big monster here.
26:59It's a frozen ball of some sort.
27:06There you go.
27:07From that side.
27:10Yeah.
27:11Oh, yeah.
27:12There you go.
27:23Parker's Golden Mile operation is back running two wash plants.
27:29And with the Golden Goose running full throttle, he's got a shot at hitting his 10,000-ounce target.
27:38This new plant's really nice.
27:40We've got a mountain of pay back there to run.
27:43That is close to 1,000 hours of sluicing.
27:46And there's not much more than 1,000 hours left in the season.
27:49So now it's time to sprint to the finish line.
28:13We're gonna pull out Harold.
28:14Take hold, and lift up your rippers.
28:19We're gonna pull out Harold.
28:21Take hold, and lift up your rippers.
28:22Take it up, and put it on a truck.
28:24Mike Beetz is finally in the driver's seat.
28:28Having earned Father Tony's trust on Paradise Hill, he joins older brother Kevin in being given a piece of the
28:36Beetz Empire, the sprawling Indian River property, Wounded Moose.
28:41Yeah, it's good enough, gentlemen.
28:44Aye, aye, Captain.
28:46Mike's first mission?
28:48Safely transport Wash Plant Harold 40 miles from Paradise Hill to his new claim.
28:55It's just gotta come up the ground, and then I drive the truck underneath it.
28:59I'd be laughing.
29:00That's it.
29:00Nothing super complicated.
29:04Colby, can you hop on the forklift, please?
29:06And then, get in on the other side.
29:11Wind your forks all the way.
29:14Many things can go wrong.
29:16I don't plan for what's wrong.
29:18I plan for getting it done right.
29:21Up.
29:23Go.
29:27Full throttle.
29:29Full throttle, pull it.
29:34That's all I got.
29:37The loader, for some reason, won't lift beyond a certain point.
29:41That doesn't make any sense, even slightly.
29:44Because that thing has more power than that thing.
29:48Len, do you copy Len?
29:50I don't know what's wrong.
29:51Yeah, and the worst part is, it's not even a lifting issue.
29:54Something is locking it out.
29:55It stops at the exact same spot every time.
29:58Not power at all, eh?
30:00The math don't math, right?
30:02Change of plan, and I don't have time to around with it.
30:05Get another forklift over here, and we're gonna lift it with that.
30:08We'll get this done.
30:16That's good.
30:17Up.
30:26Go, go, go!
30:30Keep it coming!
30:31Just back it up!
30:32Back it up!
30:36Good!
30:41A little bit of trouble getting her on, but she'll be going to Wounded Moose here soon.
30:45Good to see her go, or she'll be useful at least.
30:52I think I'm good to go, so let's see if we can get it out of here.
30:56Driving Harold to its new home, experienced trucker Len Hoekstra.
31:10Leave in paradise.
31:12Excited to set up a new mine.
31:15Let's see how everything goes.
31:21Really?
31:23I thought we were good for a couple years.
31:27Okay?
31:29It kind of really sucks, but yeah, thanks for the news, I guess.
31:33Okay.
31:34Bye.
31:35Len, do you copy?
31:37Len, do you copy?
31:38Yes, I do.
31:39We got some bad news.
31:42It's okay.
31:43You need to turn around with the truck.
31:46All right, ma'am.
31:48Mike?
31:48Monica?
31:49Tony?
31:50Come to the cook check right now.
31:52I need to talk to you about something.
31:54You're not going to like it.
32:09Hey.
32:10Hey.
32:11Hey guys.
32:12Hello.
32:13What was your panic, lady?
32:15Well, it's not good news.
32:18After taking a phone call, Minnie Beetz has called an emergency family meeting.
32:25So, you were going to sluice on one of the moose?
32:28Well, we're going that f***ing direction, yeah?
32:32I was talking to the guy that does the licensing for us, and she told me,
32:39we have no water license on that one?
32:41Mm-hmm.
32:44Serious?
32:45Yeah.
32:45I thought we did.
32:46Nope.
32:48This is so f***ing stupid.
32:49Why are we just finding this out now?
32:51Like, what happened?
32:52Mm-hmm.
32:52I honestly was under the impression there was a three, four-year license on it.
32:56Mm-hmm.
32:56And you were as well.
32:58Was I?
32:58Yeah.
32:58I really didn't realize it.
33:01Wounded moose has a water license under the previous owner's name until 2027.
33:08But the official paperwork has not yet been transferred to the Beetz family.
33:14Without it, all mining is off limits.
33:19No use crying over spilled milk, they say.
33:21It is what it is, man.
33:23It wouldn't be nice to sluice that just to see what was in there and see whatever we bought.
33:27But that is not going to f***ing happen.
33:30No.
33:30We got no license.
33:30In the meantime, we might as well go make some money.
33:33What do you think?
33:34Yeah.
33:35Okay.
33:36Bye.
33:36See you later.
33:37Bye, guys.
33:38F*** this s***.
33:41Mike's dream of striking out on his own has hit a major roadblock until the family gets
33:49a new water license.
33:56I f***ed up.
33:57But on the end of the day, there's more gold here.
34:01So let's go get that.
34:02So get it.
34:06Every time I try to do something to get my own place, it always, always comes to a dead
34:12stop.
34:15Ah.
34:31Mike's dream of running his own mine might be wrecked.
34:36But 40 miles away...
34:38It's a f***ing painful experience.
34:40...his big brother Kevin is determined to stop Taven from torpedoing his.
34:48Rock truck.
34:49Rock truck.
34:49Rock truck.
34:50Rock truck.
34:51Rock truck.
34:54I don't want to seem like a complainer.
34:56I mean, I just feel like the most useful place for me is not in a rock truck.
35:02I was doing really good on the plant.
35:04And then they put Ayla on the plant.
35:06That's not fair.
35:08At all.
35:11I'm happy for my own opportunity.
35:13Just trying not to pick up bad habits from Taven.
35:15Ayla has now been promoted to loader operator duties and is responsible for feeding the plant
35:23with pay.
35:24I feel a little bit blessed to be trusted by Kevin and Faith to learn, one, this piece of
35:30equipment, and two, being trusted to feed the plant.
35:38Demoted Taven can only look on as he holds dirt to the wash plant's pay pile.
35:46It's Taven.
35:47How do you feel about being disciplined like that?
35:52Yeah, it definitely sucks.
35:54I mean, we're not allowed to go fast, which I think is absurd.
35:58Sometimes I'll be going 10 and I'll be told to go a little bit faster.
36:02And then sometimes I go 15 and I get told to slow the down and that I'm going way too
36:07fast.
36:10Sucks being a little guy on the totem pole, all right?
36:13Ugh.
36:16I thought I was going to get to learn a lot working here, but I haven't really learned
36:22anything.
36:23I mean, I've learned what not to do in the cut.
36:27Lots of what not to do in the cut.
36:30In my mind, it doesn't feel like we have a mine plan.
36:32They come every day and it's like, what are we doing?
36:35I don't know.
36:35We'll figure it out.
36:37We're gold mining.
36:37We're not just digging holes and making rock quarries.
36:40Well, fortunately, it's not an operation, so just run with it.
36:48Yeah, it's just hard.
36:49I really enjoy Kevin.
36:51He's a great guy, but she'll just like glare at me, but everybody says that that's just
36:57how she is.
36:57Sure.
36:59So, Javyn, come up to the staging yard immediately.
37:12These are not really fun conversations to have.
37:20you
37:33Am I getting fired? So you'll be reprimanded this week. Yeah
37:41So like, I heard you kicking us on the radio. Sorry
37:54If this is a strike two, strike three, you're out. Yeah
38:00This is the last month almost. I just need you to like basically man up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank
38:09you
38:19I really hope that message got through them because otherwise he's gonna be gone
38:25Well, that was intense I definitely thought I was getting fired. That was a terrible feeling. That's for sure
38:35Any more cups and I'm getting canned
38:43Hey Kev, just reprimanded Taven. This is the second violation in one week. Told him to basically smarten up or
38:52tear out pretty much
38:54Ugh
38:56Already behind the eight ball
38:58Kevin and Faith can't afford any more hiccups with crew if they are to hit their 2,000 ounce goal
39:05We are near the end of the season and we don't have much time. You f**k those f**ks sideways
39:10We want to make sure that this operation is going somewhere this week. We're gonna need a big a gold
39:16total fingers f**king cracked
39:35How is you? How are you? Not too bad
39:37Ah
39:41There's some yellow
39:42There's some yellow s**t there, yeah
39:43Kevin and Faith are running out of time to hit their 2,000 ounce season target
39:50It is kind of a shame that we had to deal with all this Taven s**t this week
39:54Yeah, he seemed apologetic
39:56He said he will do better
39:57So, we'll see how it goes
40:00Yeah, well, it's gonna be his catchphrase. Oops, sorry
40:04Yeah
40:05A lot of stuff going in the office
40:07I assume our goal is to come in
40:09Hopefully a little bit faster than the bills are taking it out
40:11Um, not really, no
40:14It's not an encouraging face
40:18Things are getting pretty bad
40:20Let's see what we get
40:21All right
40:24Kevin has three weeks of gold to weigh up and needs 400 ounces if he has any hope of reaching
40:33his goal
40:3370, 80, 90, 95, 110, 160, 170, 90, 200, 220, 223.85
40:51Worth nearly $800,000
40:58It's not great
40:5872 ounces a week
41:00That is a little bit lower than expected
41:05What does that bring our total to?
41:07Just under a thousand ounces
41:11I wonder if 2,000 ounces was a bit much
41:14I think maybe we bit off a bit more than we could chew
41:16I'll have to go look at our books
41:20See where we're at
41:21Hopefully it's not too bad
41:26See where we can get
41:28Radio, I'll clean up
41:39Hello
41:43Hi guys
41:45Long time no see
41:48So Mike
41:49So Mike, I thought we were gonna be neighbors
41:50Yeah, I thought that too
41:52But there's no water license on the ground
41:55So I can't do anything there
41:57That sucks, huh?
42:00You didn't realize that
42:03Next year
42:05Despite the setback at Wounded Moose
42:08And being $4 million down
42:11Tony still has a full week's gold haul
42:14From his Indian River and Paradise Hill claims
42:17How are your cleanups looking?
42:20Not too bad
42:21I got some nice nuggies
42:24Yeah
42:25Which is rare for the hill
42:27So should we weigh it all up then?
42:29Sure
42:29Alright
42:30We got
42:31Find a lot
42:33We got
42:35Sluice a lot
42:36A lot of sluicing, eh?
42:39Bring it on, as they say
42:40What do we got for sluice a lot?
42:45First, the Indian River's corner cut
42:4960, 70, 80
42:50Last week, Tony pulled in 625 ounces from his two mine sites
42:56To cruise past his 6500-ounce season goal
43:02200
43:04200 and
43:08218.74
43:10It's a good week
43:12It's all good
43:13Let's see what the final lot found
43:1740
43:1980
43:2080
43:2090
43:20100
43:21120
43:22130
43:23170
43:24180
43:24200
43:26210
43:27220
43:28230
43:31237.58
43:33That's awesome
43:37We still have some more left
43:40Let's see how much the hill weighs in
43:43Okay, fry your chuck, let's go
43:4880
43:4990
43:49100
43:50110
43:50120
43:51130
43:51170
43:53180
43:56230
43:57240
43:58250
44:01250
44:02258.98
44:03That's pretty good, huh?
44:07A 715-ounce
44:08Two and a half million dollar week
44:11Takes his season total
44:13To 7,333 ounces
44:18Worth
44:18Nearly 26 million dollars
44:21Nice load
44:22See how far we're gonna get with it this year
44:24That came out pretty nice though, Mike, huh?
44:26Yes.
44:26I think so.
44:28Hopefully everything keeps running
44:30Who knows where it's gonna go?
44:31Bye.
44:41Hey, hey.
44:42Howdy, howdy.
44:44Yo, yo.
44:46What up?
44:47Hey, how's it going?
44:49Well, hopefully there's a lot of gold in there and it's going really good.
44:52Little does Parker know, the king of the Klondike is hot on his heels.
44:57Just 33 ounces behind him.
45:00But with four wash plants running, Parker has a chance to pull clear again.
45:06We got the goose going, huh?
45:08That new wash plant's pretty sweet looking.
45:10Yeah.
45:10And it's like fired up real smooth.
45:13I hope it's a good plant because, you know, the goose, that's not a name that really demands authority or...
45:21You bring a loaf of bread every time you go do a clean up?
45:29A buddy of mine suggested the name.
45:31I don't really like the name.
45:33So it's Gigi.
45:34The supermodel.
45:36Yeah.
45:37Well, you want to see how we did?
45:39Yeah.
45:40Alright.
45:40I'm curious.
45:41Start with Gigi.
45:42Start with...
45:43We don't have Gigi yet.
45:44She hasn't been running long enough.
45:47Fine.
45:48Stay tuned.
45:48But we got the Golden Mile.
45:50Big Red Golden Mile.
45:52To hit his 10,000 ounce target, Parker needs to average 440 ounces a week.
46:0220, 40, 80, 100, 130, 140.7.
46:11Nice.
46:11That's alright.
46:12That's good for Big Red.
46:13Yeah.
46:14Alrighty.
46:15Let's see how Bob did in the bridge cut.
46:17For the last month, Wash Plant Bob's Gold Haul has been hovering above 100 ounces a week.
46:25Got 20, 40, 80, 100, 120, 127.4.
46:39Bob's still boring.
46:41Yeah.
46:41I think it's the name, man.
46:43Eh.
46:44Could be worse.
46:45Alright.
46:47Alright.
46:47Roxanne.
46:48Roxanne sluiced all week at Kennen Stewart's and needs to deliver 172 ounces to keep Parker
46:57on track.
46:58We got 40, 50, 60, 90, 110, 130.
47:11We got 153.2.
47:15Sick.
47:16Once Gigi gets back into the mix, it'll be good.
47:19Yeah.
47:20Throw that in there.
47:21We're back in the big numbers again.
47:23Well, last week it was 317.25 ounces.
47:27And this week is 421.3.
47:32Yeah.
47:33So we're going up.
47:34Worth one and a half million dollars.
47:37Our season total, 7,787.1.
47:41We've got to break eight next week.
47:43Yes.
47:44Let's hope for a warm fall.
47:46Yeah.
47:46No doubt.
47:47Alright.
47:48Thanks, guys.
47:49Thank you, Chris.
47:53I'm really happy with four plants back up and running.
47:56You know, things are looking up.
47:58I think that, um, I do think we've got a real shot at making this happen.
48:02For more information, thank you.
