15x13 - Parker's Bombshell

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

[Parker] This season has been
a big learning curve.

We're well behind and fighting
to try to stay in the green.

Dominion,
it's a difficult property.

Some of it's been very rich
like last year,

but there's also a lot
of very lean ground.

[narrator]
Over halfway through
the season,

Parker Schnabel's finally
decoding the ground

on his Dominion Creek claim.

And his Indian River land
is paying out.

Together, they banked


But while turning a corner,
he's still only a fifth

of the way
to his 10,000 ounce goal.

We're walking a bit
of a tightrope.

I think there's still
a lot of ground

that we're going
to get through.

And that puts a lot of
pressure on guys like

Mitch and Tyson.
The number one mandate

is to always be mining
the best ground you can find.

That separates
the successful operators

from unsuccessful operators.

To that end, I'm just meeting
with Mitch and Chris
and Tyson.

Give them an update.

-Hi, guys.
-What's happening?

What's going on, man?

I just wanted to have
a chat with you guys.

Like, this year's been
an absolute just [bleep]
fight, right?

We're fighting the ground,
and we've got our hands full

on Dominion right now.

But we have a neighbor.

He approached me
a few weeks ago

and wanted to sell
his property.

And I've been in discussions
with him about buying him out.

And I just signed
the deal today.

Seriously?

Yeah.

You bought Gold Run?

Three miles of Gold Run
that butts up to our property

and a mile of ground
on Sulphur.

Is there anything
left up there, man?

It's been hammered.

But they've done a lot
of 10-ounce-an-hour
runs there.

-Holy [bleep].
-Jeez.

-That's a lot of gold.
-Yeah.

It's extremely rich.

Did you buy just the dirt or,
like, buy the whole thing out?

The whole company.
Purchase price, $2.5 million.

From a cash basis,
it does put the screws

to us a bit,
but I've embraced the debt.

-You can always go bankrupt.
-I know, Mitch.

I mean, that's a lot of money,
but with our production,

I think that it's gonna pay
for itself.

Do we have the manpower
to pick up all this extra
stuff?

-Um...
-We're stretched pretty thin
as it is.

Yeah, we are stretched thin,
but they have a pit

stripped on Sulphur
that's ready to go.

Gonna run out of ground on
the Indian River, right?

And so that crew that's down
there, they can bounce Bob

over there and sluice
these pits out.

It would have been nice
to have Damien and his crew

back here to help out
with everything at
the long cut

and the bridge cut
and all that.

Right now, it seems
kind of high risk,

but I do feel like a year
from now, we'd be like,
oh, yeah,

of course
we'll do that, right?

How much gold do you think
we need to get off
the property?

I would really hope
to see 1,000 ounces

between the two properties.

Like, we have to produce
this year.

We have to put some
serious gold away.

I wouldn't suggest this
if I didn't think that

we could solve
the money problem.

I really don't like having,
like, neighbors

You could have just built
a fence probably for
a lot cheaper.

[all laughing]

Well, that's not what
I was expecting to hear,
but congratulations.

-Yeah.
-Hey, we got some
more sluicing to do.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll see
if it's a congratulations

or condolences.

-All right, gentlemen.
-To sluicing.

[all laughing]

[groans]

So that was kind
of a bittersweet.

Bitter part is I think I have
to take that boy's checkbook

away from him.

He is spending money
that we don't have.

The sweet part is he bought
Gold Run.

That's like saying I just
signed with the Yankees.

[Tyson] Parker's played
Klondike Monopoly here.

We have three wash plants
running now and to top it off

we have Gold Run and Sulphur.

It's just a lot of work to do
and we're spread out again,

but we got to make it work.

[narrator]
With his latest addition,
Parker now has

an almighty empire.

At Indian River, Parker's crew
is almost done mining
eight acres

of ground leased
from Ken Tatlow
and Stuart Schmidt.

Over on Parker's Dominion
claim, they're mining 20 acres

at the Long Cut and another


Now, next door is Parker's
new 1,100-acre property

at Gold Run.

And 10 miles away at
Sulphur sits another 950 acres

with one cut stripped
and ready to be sluiced.

Parker's kingdom now spans
a colossal 9,550 acres

with hundreds of millions
of dollars of gold
in the ground.

I know Parker wants
to hit that 10,000 ounce goal

no matter what it takes.

But if we look at
the amount of ground
we have opened up,

you got to be really careful
that you don't end up

getting a little
too ambitious.

Normally he's pretty lucky.

Hopefully this year
he doesn't run out of luck.

[Parker] We don't have
the money right now,

but that's never
stopped us before.

Debt's expensive,
but relative to gold price,
it's not.

Sulphur, it's on pay,
ready to go.

Probably the biggest risk
is that it spreads us

more thin than
we already are

and takes a bunch of cash out
of the business at a time

when cash is somewhat hard
to find.

Um...

I've blown up the season plans
yet again.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator]
Tony Beets has been collecting
wins all season,

but now he's taking a big loss
on his Indian River claim

as he waits for the ground
to thaw,

leaving him with
just Paradise Hill.

To keep the family's gold
flowing on the hill,

Tony's looking
to youngest son, Mike.

[Mike]
I'm starting to get in charge
of more things, right?

More responsibility,
more authority.

My dad, he might not always
agree with what I do,

but at the end of the day,
I get the results he wants.

And like normal,
Paradise will be bringing in
the gold.

We're pretty much halfway
through the season,

and whatever we can do
to keep sluicing

is the main goal right now.

[narrator]
In his second season
with the Beats,

excavator operator
Braden Miller feeds

the trommel 350 yards an hour
of super pit pay.

This is pretty much
Mike's operation,
but when Tony's here,

he pretty much takes over,
and it becomes his operation,

essentially.

At the end of the day,
this is still his claim,
right?

Oh, [bleep].

Hey, Mike, copy Mike.

There's a bunch of water
coming out of this gravel
here.

[bleeping]

[bleep]

Water leak is a big issue,
because it creates
a [bleep] of a mess.

And you thought my bank
behind my sluice box

is gonna wash away
the whole thing underneath it.

If I leave that water to go,
it's going to eventually stop

my sluice box from being able
to shake.

So it's got to get fixed now.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] I know.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] I have.

Can I explain before you get
all pissy at me?

-[narrator] Three weeks ago.
-[Mike] Why are
they doing this?

Mike faced the same problem.

Oh, I see why.
I have a rubber to prevent
splash back,

To stop the flow of water.

Get that welder over here.
Weld that on.

Mike quickly installed
a rubber mat.

That's better.
I can live with this.

This is fine.

[narrator]
But Tony doesn't think Mike
has solved the problem.

I actually don't think
it's the baffles.

Okay.

They're cutting off
the last of the baffles.

Hopefully that fixes it.
I doubt that, but you know.

[narrator]
Tony's 35-year-old trommel
has baffles inside that

are angled to pick up pay dirt
and throw it forward.

But some are poorly
positioned,

sending pay dirt and water
back the wrong way,

spilling out towards
the sluice runs,

undermining their foundation.

Tony's solution,
remove the misaligned baffles,

allowing the material to
move down the trammel

in the correct direction.

Let's not put blame where
it's not deserved.

We got all the baffles out.

All right.

Well, it didn't work,
and it got worse.

I [bleep] told them.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator] At Paradise Hill,
the Beats' only
gold-producing plant

is shut down.

Tony's baffle fix has failed,
and he's back to square one.

Well, what I'm going to do
is I'm going to put a pipe
down there.

All these fines,
all this [bleep] goes down
to that chute.

[narrator] Tony's new plan?

Place two sheets of steel
at the entrance of the trommel

so that any water splashing
out is redirected away

from the sluice box.

No, I got a plasma.

I don't see the point.
We're basically doing
the exact same thing.

It's just going to be going
the other direction.

Same thing.

I'll be sluicing now.

Same thing.

We might as well not do
anything.

This is the same [bleep]
Mickey Mouse.

Just switching the sides
for the problem.

So now I'm going to have
two sides of the mess.

Okay.

Okay.

[Tony speaking]

[narrator]
It's time to see if Tony's
water diversion is a success.

[Tony speaking]

Well, the plan for today
is to [bleep] sluice.

-You ready, spaghetti?
-[woman] I'm ready, spaghetti.

Everyone's clear?

Yeah? Okay.

Conveyors are going.

One, two, three, four, five.

[narrator] 40 miles south,
Tony's eldest son
and new mine boss,

Kevin Beets, is finally
sluicing on his claim,

leased from his parents.

This is a very huge milestone.
There is no denying that.

All the work leading up
to this was a lot of stress.

I'm mostly feeling a sense
of [bleep] relief at
this point.

But this is the first time
that it's all my [bleep].

my ground, and at
the end of the day,

it's going to be my
and Faith's gold.

I'm hoping that this week,
if we can get 100 ounces,

it's still just the beginning.

We still have 1,000 ounces
to get out of the ground.

[narrator]
Kevin and his partner, Faith,

have invested nearly
$2 million so far,

but still have zero gold
and have paid Tony

zero royalties.

So it feels real good
to actually have it run

and look like it's going good.

-About [bleep] time.
-I know.

It's [bleep] nice.

We are getting some decent
sized rocks though.

Mmm.

One thing I've been looking
forward to more than anything

is seeing that first gold
come in.

It's super [bleep] exciting.

[Hunter] It's go, go, go.

We only have limited time
now until things freeze over.

[narrator] Operator Hunter
Canning feeds Kevin
$700,000 washblend,



We ended up getting
a couple of new guys.

I think Kayden has
a little bit of mechanic
background,

which is great.
I'm not quite sure about John.

Hopefully they stay.
We need people.

[narrator]
Kevin trains up new recruit,
Kayden Foote,

to clear the plant's
waste tailings.

[Kevin]
On tailings here,
there's no benefit

to being fancy and clean,
because there's not really

any time saving.

You'll end up losing that time
in fuel burnt.

-Do you know what I'm saying?
-Yeah, yeah.

You're the boss.

[John] This is my first time
being a gold miner,

and so this is quite
a new experience for me.

Honestly this is a little bit
of a dream come true.

[narrator] New hire John Bell
trucks the tailings
to a waste site.

I have a background
in landscaping

so I had quite a bit
of experience with
smaller equipment.

I'm here to get myself off
of the treadmill

because that's what, you know,


their jobs are.

It feels like
you're handcuffed
to a treadmill.

That is freaking massive.

No, no, no. Get in the water.
Get in the water.

[bleep]

No, no, no. Get in the water.
Get in the water.

Hey, Hunter, that big rock
is kind of stuck in there.

I'm going to need you
to shut off the heater,
please.

[Hunter] All right.

[narrator] At Scribner Creek,
Kevin Beets' pre-wash

is blocked by a rock
shutting down his plant.

[Kevin] I got to politely
encourage this rock
the [bleep] out of my way.

AKA, I'm going to beat
the [bleep] out of it

with a sledgehammer
till it moves.

Watch your eyes.

Oops.

[Faith] Oh.

Is there any way that we could
push it back through

and angle it a different way
to get through that?

Possibly.

May want to send John up here
to try to give it a lift,

because he's a little
[bleep] heavy.

[John] What can I do for you,
brother?

Oh, we need someone
with better leverage
than what we got.

-All right.
-I think we can lift
the bottom of this rock.

-[John] You can pull it
back now.
-[Hunter] Yeah, pull it back.

[John] Here.

-[John grunts]
-[Hunter] Hulk smash!

Okay, this is going to go.

[John]
I can just throw it off
the edge, brother.

You think you can do it?

-Absolutely.
-Holy [bleep].

If you're thinking
you're that [bleep] froggy,

Okay, he's going to try
and hit it.

Everyone on this side,
see if he'll flip.

Perfect.

-Okay, you got that?
-Yep.

-[grunts]
-[Hunter] Think light
as a feather.

-Ready?
-[Kevin] Yep.

[grunting]

Beautiful.

-[Hunter] Yay!
-There you go.

-Muscles.
-[Hunter] Yeah, buddy.

-You saved the day.
-You're going to
make me blush.

Yeah, man.

[narrator]
The 300-pound rock hulked out
of the pre-wash.

There we go.

[narrator]
Kevin and his crew can get
back on the gold.

[Kevin]
Well, I didn't know he was
that big when we hired him.

Good thing, because that rock
was a little heavy for me.

Now it's time to get back
into the equipment,

'cause it is a long way
to 100 ounces for the week.

So back to it.

When we bought Gold Run,
it came with some property
on Sulphur.

And a lot of gold came out
of that creek.

Like, it's been mined top
to bottom for a very
long time.

[narrator]
Parker's new claims on
Gold Run and Sulphur Creek

are some of the richest
in Klondike history.

First mined in the 1896
gold rush by hand

and then with dredges,
the two creeks combined

have yielded more than
$1.5 billion in gold.

And ground along their banks
is still sought after

by modern-day prospectors.

[Parker] I knew down the road
I would kick myself
for not doing it,

even though we're having some
short-term money issues.

There is a stripped cut
over there.

Actually, there's a pay pile
ready for a wash plant,

so Tyson has a lot of work
to do to get Bob moved

and get them sorted out.

Nailing that transition
is a...

really important thing.

[Tatiana]
This is our last cleanup
on Kennan-Stewards.

We've done Indian River
for the season.

[narrator]
With the ground that
Kennan-Stewards mined out

for the season
and the Sulphur Creek ground
ready to go,

Parker wants wash plant Bob
moved and sluicing

within 10 hours.

My job's done here.

It's now up to Tyson
and the rest of the crew

to move everything
and get it all started
at Sulphur.

You guys ready?

[man] Hell yeah, buddy.

Move that wash plant.

Parker wants this wash plant
moved from Cairns

over to Sulphur by the end
of the day and up and running,

so we're gonna do our best
to make that happen
for him here.

Hopefully the gold's worth it
over at Sulphur.

[Jordan]
Quite frankly, I just think
we're doing too much.

It all sounds good.

"Oh, we only need to do
a little bit over here."

Well, then you go [bleep]
do it 12 hours a day
every [bleep] day.

[narrator] Pitching in
with the plant move,
mechanic Jordan Sands.

A plant move doesn't consist
of from [bleep] there
over to there now.

It's [bleep] 40k one way.
What does that consist of?

All these trucks,
all these people,
a whole [bleep] day.

It's not a couple hours.

What gets done? [bleep] all.
If the dirt doesn't produce
money, we're [bleep].

That's it.

Money stops coming,
so do I. I'll tell you that.

Got the plant tore apart.

Got all the pieces
on trailers.

Let's start this convoy.

Try and make it there
in one piece.

[Parker on radio]
Just focus on you, okay?

Whoo! Let's go!

[narrator] The 25 miles
to Sulphur Creek
is Parker's longest ever

plant move.

[Tyson]
We don't have any replacements
for any of this stuff.

If we damaged one part
of this wash plant,

the whole day was a bust.

Sulphur is a bust.
The whole plan is done.

We're in the dust
and the heat.

Trying to make some money.

Or go broke trying, right?

Well, we're officially
on Sulphur here.

See the wash plant
still on the truck.

Take that as a win.

Parker wants this wash plant
set up as quick as possible,

'cause right now we're not
getting any gold out of Bob,

and we definitely need to be.

It's time to go put
a wash plant together.

That's good there, guys.

Give me a hand
with this feeder.

You need to be in my eyes
while I lift it up,
back her in.

[man] Let's do it.

[Alec] We're getting a lot
closer to sluicing.

We might have her going
for night shift.

I think we do have
a night shift lined up.

Let me just hop up
in the plant and see

where we're lined up
to our feed bin.

Oh, no.

Oh [bleep].

That's really bad.

This bar, it's shattered.

It's the front lip
of the plant.

Keeps the dirt on the shaker.

If we were running this,
the crack would continue.

This whole chute
would be blown out

of the plant,
and we'd have a pileup.

That's quite a big job to get
something proper in there.

Might not be sluicing
tonight after all.

Our plant's down.
This is the last thing
we need.

We need Bob up and running,
and it's down because
of a [bleep] feed lip.

How are you?

I was just coming to see
if you need an operator

tonight for night shift.

So Bob has some issues.
The feed lip's broken.

We got to get this fixed
before we can fire Bob up.

[bleep]. That's not good.

You'll get this thing
going tomorrow.

It cost us a shift.

I was hoping to fire up
tonight and try to make up

for some of those ounces
on Dominion,

but looks like that's probably
not gonna happen.

Bob is priority one for
the whole sluice crew
right now.

We got a lot of pay
and a lot of investment
on that property.

[narrator]
At Parker's new claim
on Sulphur Creek,

mechanics Alec Kelly
and Liam Pukila

are racing to fix a broken
feed lip on wash plant Bob.

[Alec] We're gonna
reinforce it.

The whole chute is held
quite strongly on the sides,

and there's no support here.

And the whole time
the shaker's running,

this oscillates a little bit
to the point where it shatters

and disassembles itself
violently from the wash plant.

The success of this day is now
solely dependent on us.

[Tyson] Sulphur, there's pay,
it's ready to go.

He'll be a lot happier
once gold's coming in

and get to see what Sulphur
is really all about.

I actually thought
we would have been sluicing

easily by now.

[narrator]
While the mechanics
reinforce Bob's feedlet,

Tyson and Damien Brown
stockpile more pay

from Sulphur's
pre-stripped cut.

We're already stretched
so bloody thin right now.

What Parker's idea was going
to buy another

piece of property,
I really don't know.

We got the new chute
all welded up.

Now the real fun begins
to see how

we're actually gonna get
the new one in and how
it's even gonna fit.

I'm clear.

Bitchin'.

This makes it easy.

Yeah, now we're just
unbolting.

[man] Lifting up.

Crane's taking weight off
the chute right now

while they're taking out
the last bolts.

Coming down.

Whoa.

Yeah, keep it coming.

Whoa.

Right now, we're getting
ready to mock it into place

and see if any modifications
need to be made.

Good, Alec.

Whoa.

This is looking pretty
good here.

So we got our chute up
in place,

line up our holes,
throw some bolts in,

and we're out of here.

Perfect.

Well, nice work, guys.
Got her back together.

We'll be ready to fire up.
I'll go let Damien know.

-Sounds good.
-You want to grab
the pump, Alec?

-I'll do it.
-Thanks.

[narrator]
Just two days after Parker's
sudden purchase of Sulphur.

Here we go.

Wash plant Bob fires up
for the first time

on his new ground.

[Tyson] First bucket of pay.

You know, if you asked me
at the beginning of the season

if we'd be here on Sulphur
sluicing,
I'd say you're crazy,

but it's just the cards
we've been dealt.

Hopefully there's a big pile
of gold at the end of the week
for us here.

I'm in the nice AC.

I'm loading the hopper.
Things are running.

Kevin Beets crew are
playing catch-up,

chasing a 1,000-ounce goal
for the freshman year
mine boss.

It's so nice to finally
get going.

We started with nothing.

And to see an actual plant
set up, it's finally
coming along.

I got a new hire.
His name's Kayden.

He makes me feel really old
because he looks like

he should be still
in high school.

[Kayden]
I've been gold mining
for about five years.

When I was a teenager
my family had a gold mine

and ever since that I've just
sort of felt like

it was a bit of a calling.

[narrator]
has been clearing tailings

since he started two days ago.

It's stressful and I just hope
that I please Kevin and Faith

enough to bring me back
next season.

Oh, [bleep].
That doesn't look good.

I'm shutting her down,
shutting her down.

Hey, Kev, hey, Kev,
you need to get down here.

[bleep] I'll be down
in a sec to have a look.

[narrator] Kevin needs
two ounces of gold
an hour to have

any chance of hitting
his seasoned target.

[man] Holy [bleep].

One's there, there, there,
there, there, there, there.

Oh, yeah. [bleep] broken off.

[Kevin] I was up in the yard
doing some work, and Kayden
gave us a call.

He saw water spraying
everywhere,

came up and checked,
and found one of these busted,

another one.

This whole bar is dead
at this point.

[narrator]
The broken spray bars
won't wash pay dirt properly,

losing gold in the tailings.

I figure this happens
from rocks.

They come down off
a conveyor. You can see
exactly where they hit.

That's center of platen
right there.

Bounce, bounce.

And if they hit the deck
when it's on an upward swing,

they fly up, they go whack,
and these get [bleep].

So to make sure we get
a decent spread on our spray,

we're just gonna quickly
replace these ones.

We'll probably go
a little shallower.

Because clearly these are,
they're in the danger zone.
They're too long.

Oh, I see, I see.

I'm going to make more
of these from these.

They're going to be a lot
shorter because they don't

really need to be this long.

I'm just hoping that
it doesn't take too long

and we can get the show
back on the road

because I just want to be
sluicing right now.

[Kevin] That's all done.

I have to pop out the old ones
and pop in the new ones.

Okay.

So we have the ones I made up.

Much shorter,
so they shouldn't be able

to be hit by rocks.

And if they are,
they should be much
harder to break.

Bada bing.

Quick fix.

Spray bar should be good.

And we're going to fire
back up.

Off you [bleep] go.

Nozzles are in.

They're moving the material in
an easter, which is perfect.

That means we can get back
to sluicing.

Still a long way
to 1,000 ounces.

[narrator] Kevin is back
on track for his first gold
weigh of the season.

[Kevin]
I'm excited about the first
gold weigh

and actually having money
coming in because

the piggy bank's getting
[bleep] low.

[Hunter] I've been here
for months and we're only
just starting to sluice.

I'll point them up here
to find the gold

and take it home to my family
so we can have a better life.

Being a mom up here is
an eye opener and it sucks.

I haven't seen my 10 year old
girl in months now.

And I know when I go back,
she's gonna be a foot taller.

I've been there
every single day,

every step of the way for her.

And now her mommy's
gone up north.

Everybody makes sacrifices.
This is mine.

I'm showing my little girl
that it's possible for women

to come up here
and do badass stuff.

[Tony speaking]

Well, at least we get gold.

After a week of Mike and Tony
arguing,

the family gathers to see
what Paradise Hill brought in.

There's a reason we say
he's a Ton-ado.

I'm not gonna lie,
you do get things done,

but sometimes not the way
I like them.

[Tony speaking]

Well, I will admit,
sometimes it's a bit annoying

when you're micromanaging me.

All that did was
redirect water.

Yeah, but when all you can
think of is run, run, run,

run, you sometimes can't look
past that.

You tunnel vision.

[narrator]
To get to his 5,000-ounce
goal,

Tony needs over 160 ounces
a week.







[narrator]
Worth almost $320,000.

Who would that guy be? You?

You guys should go back
to work.

-We'll see you guys later.
-Yeah.

[Mike]
My dad wasn't giving me
a solution.

He was giving me a quick fix
that doesn't do nothing.

And I'm willing to take
the time and be patient

to get something done right.

If he's in a bad mood,
he doesn't care.
Get it going.

He's been having
a very hard year this year.

He's stressed, frankly.
He's stressed.

Things are not going the way
he wants out in the Indian.

So now he feels he has to do
everything himself.

First, it shows a massive
disrespect towards me,

because you're not [bleep]
taking my word serious.

That pisses me off.

-Hey, guys.
-Hey, guys.

-Hey.
-Hola.

[narrator]
Three and a half months
into the season,

and Kevin Beets is finally
weighing his first gold.

-So, how's things been going?
-Oh, we're finally sluicing.

That is good to finally get
that going.

Yeah, things kept getting
pushed back,
breakdowns and people.

[man]
The big thing was setting
the plant up.

Definitely a couple of little
teething things going on.

[Tony speaking]

I think we're very fortunate
to have you guys help us out.

Yeah. You're still my kids.

It'll never change.

It's a big thing to do 1,000
your first year.

I know the growing pains.

So I'm going to see these two
succeed as well, right?

Oh, trust me, I know.

I think we put two million
so far.

It's getting scary at
one point as well.

It was just watching the bills
come in and I was like, okay,

where do I get the money now?
[laughs]

So, I see you have some gold.

We do.

Are we ready, folks?

[narrator]
To achieve his


Kevin must average roughly


One, two, three, five,



-Damn, 33 ounces.
-Nice.

-Right on the dot.
-Worth $82,500.

We do get the royalties,
right?

Well, get running,
keep running.
That's the biggest thing.

Yeah.

Next, I hope it'll be
a little bit more gold.

-Yeah, we do.
-[Faith] I hope so, too.

Me as well.

Good to see you guys.

-Bye.
-See ya.

[Faith]
We could have done better.
I always want more.

It doesn't seem like
we have much time left.

Do you think we're gonna hit
our 1,000 ounce?

Honestly, I don't know yet.

-Hi, Chris.
-Hey, Parker.

Beer me.

I think we have to have a talk
about your spending practices.

Oh, I know.

How much have you spent
on property the last two
years, right?

Yeah, too much.
I don't want to think
about it.

Well, hopefully it'll pay off.

[narrator]
Parker has gold coming
from four spots this week.

[Chris] That's a busy week
for you, Dumit.

Roxanne keeps chugging along.

We were plugging away while
everything else was happening.

[narrator]
First up is the gold from
the long cut on Dominion,

which has been averaging


This is a long cut.





Nice. That's solid.

[man] Not bad.

Okay.

There's big red.

[narrator] So far, the bridge
cut is yet to hit 100 ounces
in a week.

[Chris] Here we go.
Big red bridge cut.

Five, 10, 25,





Consistently poor.

[Chris]
Last cleanup down at Ken's,
five.

[narrator] Kenan Stewart's has
been their best performing cut
this season,

delivering two ounces of gold
an hour.



[narrator] Over 2.5 ounces
an hour on its last run
of the season.

But for the hours it ran,
I think it did well.

Well, it's a good thing
you got Sulphur,

because without that,
where would have Bob gone?

What do you think?
You liking your new purchase?

I don't know, Chris.
Do we like our new purchase?

[narrator]
For Sulphur to pick up
the slack, Parker's looking

for it to deliver at least


two days of running.

-Bob's Sulphur.
-All righty, let's see

how Parker's new purchase
panned out.

How did it go?

Here we go. 20, 40, 60,







[narrator]
Sulphur has made nearly double
the gold the bridge cut

has all week.

So far so good.
It's a good week for Bob

with a move in the middle.

[Parker] Well, at least
there's some gold over
at Sulphur.

And you guys keep doubting me.

Halfway through some gold
down there.

Got them all up.
That's a pretty good week.

So for the week,
we have 535.2 ounces.

[narrator]
Worth $1.3 million,
more than half

the purchase price
of his new ground.

-Better than a kick
in the a*s.
-Yeah.

We broke 500.

It gives us a season total
of 2880.5.

Keep that going.

-Yeah.
-Be all right.

We're getting there.
The numbers are jumping
much quicker

than they have the last
few weeks, so.

On that note.
All right, gentlemen.

All right, thanks, Chris.
