Rick Ness is currently facing some setbacks in his quest for gold. Despite betting his career on a deep test drilling showing potential for a $5 million gold find, he is falling short by 800 ounces as winter looms ahead.
Unexpectedly, the landowner, Troy Taylor, who owns the claims Rick is leasing, proposes selling the property to him. Troy requests a down payment of 150 ounces, which amounts to a whopping quarter of a million dollars. This offer leaves Rick in a dilemma as he contemplates the financial impact and the timing of such a decision.
To increase their gold production, Rick confers with his crew member, Kyle Lawson, on a plan to operate both wash plants simultaneously. Kyle, a former Yukon iron worker, rises to the challenge to secure the extra 150 ounces needed.
The crew’s hard work pays off as they achieve their biggest gold haul ever, totaling an impressive 315 ounces for the week. This success provides Rick with the necessary funds to make a down payment on the property and proceed with the purchase.
However, Rick’s journey is more than just overcoming obstacles. A twist of fate brings an unexpected opportunity when landowner Troy Taylor proposes selling the land that Rick is currently leasing. Embracing the challenge, Rick and his crew ramp up their efforts and have their most successful gold haul yet. With the newfound gold, Rick is prepared to make a major decision – to invest in owning his own piece of land. While Rick’s pursuit of gold is ongoing, his unwavering commitment and hard work have propelled him into a new phase of his gold mining career in the stunning Yukon mountains.
