That's a good size hole, mate. 510 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,880 We're going to cut the bad section of pipe out. 511 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,080 All right.Rejoin it on the good part and we'll get it back up and running. 512 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,360 I'll grab some tools. I'll get this one done. 513 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,040 Dad's the experienced one here. He's the boss, so... 514 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:46,200 He's got his work cut out for him, guiding us and training us. 515 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:50,520 Jayden's back there self-loading so he can bring another load to us. 516 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,240 And I want to be back there because we're actually running 517 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,200 out of dirt more quickly than I thought. 518 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Well, let's get to it, eh? 519 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,320 Really, we don't need these kind of setbacks, 520 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,080 but this is why the old man brought Brenton in. 521 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,000 You know, the experience. We need the experience there to be able to run this stuff. 522 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,840 The last bucket I'm going to put in. 523 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,640 So we're ready to rock and roll. 524 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,280 Let's get this up there and hopefully we've got it up and running 525 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:15,920 and we can get back into washing some dirt. 526 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,040 Let's go. 527 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600 I'm just sinking.

Yeah, something's not right. 536 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,080 It's not one thing. It's a bloody another. 537 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,720 Yeah, it's not moving. 538 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,680 Ah! That's not good.

We've brought this Beast out here to this new lease, 543 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,320 and if we can't use it, what's the point?I have got a fix. 544 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,680 We pulled that screen off we put a new one on. 545 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,440 With a bigger mesh size so that dirt can just fall straight through and not hold up. 546 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,800 The downside is going to eat a few hours of work. 547 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,240 Yeah.Let's shut it down, change the mesh and start again. 548 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,600 I'll climb up there and do the bolts.Yep. 549 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,760 Ready? 550 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,080 Going. 551 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,760 Awesome. 552 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,640 It's the end of the season. It's just getting so hot. 553 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,040 It doesn't look it, but it's pushing at least 40 degrees. 554 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,240 And we haven't reached our target yet, so... 555 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,440 I'm hoping everything goes okay, But you just never know out here. 556 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,360 The holes on this screen are a little bit bigger. 557 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,440 It should just let the material through a little bit faster. 558 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,720 When the material starts building up on the screen, 559 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,880 the vibration motors, they can't keep ahead of it. 560 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,000 Once you lose vibration no material is going through at all. 561 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,360 Okay, lifting.Here we go. 562 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,920 All in all this should be the fix. 563 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,840 All right, we're down. Well done.We're in. 564 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,920 All right, Well, let's start getting some gold. 565 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,920 Fire up the beast. Let's see if it works. 566 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,200 Action stations. 567 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,520 Time to get some dirt through. 568 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,760 The screen is fixed. This dirt should now fly through. 569 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640 We just need gold in this dirt. And we're well away. 570 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,440 Yep. It's not backing up. 571 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,560 All right, the screen is doing exactly what it should now. We're finally running. 572 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,240 All right, that's the first bucket down. So far, so good. 573 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,960 Now it's just about running the tonnes. Next bucket. 574 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,560 You know, we're kind of running out of time to get those seven ounces. 575 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,480 It'd be a shame not to reach our target when we're so close. 576 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,520 And if we do reach our targets, a million dollars. 577 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,640 We've had a lot of highs and lows this season. 578 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,120 It hasn't been easy, but you know, it's been exciting as well. 579 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,320 You take the good with the bad, and we've had both of that this season. 580 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,720 I'm absolutely exhausted, 581 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,640 literally in the off-season we've built the Beast. 582 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,160 So there's been no downtime now for two seasons. 583 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,720 And I'm feeling it. I need some rest, relaxation, a proper holiday. 584 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,560 I'd like to get a good few hundred tonnes of crack and dirt through the machine. 585 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,760 Hopefully, that's going to prove if this is next season's project 586 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,960 or if we're pulling the pin and finding something else. 587 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,840 After all the effort to move here pretty much all our eggs are in one basket. 588 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,240 But we've got to finish strong, so that means running right until the very end. 589 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,640 2 Hey, man, I've just got a couple of more scrapes to do, 590 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,440 and I'm going to come and join you on the pad. 591 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,640 Yeah, No worries, mate. Let's just play it smart, man. It's pretty hot today. 592 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,920 Let's make the most of it so we can chill out. 593 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,200 We've been at it all night. 594 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,120 We're just going hot because we've only got a few days left of the season now. 595 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,120 We're working around the clock to get as much gold as we possibly can. 596 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,960 Levi is out there. He's on the Nuggets. It's sick at the moment. 597 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,800 You know, it's nuggets everywhere. 598 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440 Getting the most out of what we've got on this ground 599 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,000 before the summer really kicks in and shuts down is super important. 600 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,200 Kyle and I have been battling on 601 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,000 for well over 24 hours now, maybe 30 hours. 602 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,840 I don't know the gold's still here, so we're still going for some reason. 603 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,360 I feel a little bit delirious. Back little bit in this department. 604 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,920 The gold's not stopping, but that also means that we're not stopping 605 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,360 and it's definitely starting to take a toll. 606 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,520 This place is absolutely loaded with gold. 607 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,240 It's such a shame that we're calling it the end of the season. 608 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,120 Just want to keep going. But we're sort of finding it hard to locate nuggets now. 609 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,680 A bit tired. Oh, yeah. 610 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,320 Oh yeah, baby.

Ready to go, buddy. 689 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,840 Ready to rock and roll.Yeah. Let's get some gold.Done deal. 690 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,160 Right now, we've got enough dirt there on the wash plant for Cayden to keep him busy 691 00:36:56,240 --> 00:37:00,840 for a while. Jayden and I are going to be what we call excavating, detecting. 692 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,280 So we're just going to scrape off, say six inches at a time. 693 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,800 Detect that all the way down to bedrock. 694 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:12,080 (BLEEP) 695 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,160 That's not a bad target. Hey, Brent. 696 00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:17,800 Yeah, mate? That's screaming. 697 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,880 (BLEEP)That sounds like a good bit. I'm coming down for that one, mate. 698 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,120 What would the old man say, "Hopefully, that's a chunk?" 699 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,040 I bet that's a chunk. 700 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,120 That's screaming its head off. 701 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,680 All right she's out. 702 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,000 You do the honours, mate. 703 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,400 There it is. There it is, right there, mate. 704 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,840 Go and grab it. That's a bloody chunk, mate, ey? 705 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,160 Twenty grammes? 706 00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,280 About 2600 bucks worth of there. Bloody oath. 707 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,120 It's pretty bloody good there, mate. You picked a few of them up a day. 708 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,600 It ain't going too bad, is it? We're making money. 709 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,520 Good job, mate. We're looking up. 710 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,480 You know, Dad left us this place. It's his legacy. 711 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,160 Now we're starting to get chunked, and his dream is really coming to life. 712 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,880 It is actually so good to be back on the coast. 713 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,880 Beautiful, cool day. Nice sea breeze. 714 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,760 What a beautiful season, guys. 715 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,920 It's all a bit surreal, isn't it? I can't believe this moment has finally come along, you know. 716 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,200 If we didn't call it a day because of the heat, we'd still be out there mining gold every day. 717 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,640 But it's just too hot now. You've got to pull the pin at some point. 718 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,880 You can't just keep going all year round. 719 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,520 I reckon we've deserved a break and that gold's going to be there for us to slay next season. 720 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,240 Are you ready to weigh up some gold, Sunny? 721 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,200 Put the scales on? I want to weigh up here. 722 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,480 You want to weigh up here? We're going to do our last weigh up. 723 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,400 Did you find lots of gold this year? Yeah. 724 00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:50,600 All right, let's do this. Final weigh up. 725 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,280 Let's see what the scale says. 726 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,880 Wow look at that. 7.1 ounces. 727 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,800 That's probably 20-30 grand worth of gold there. 728 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,880 Wow... Wow what an effort. 729 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,800 That's crazy. That's so good. That's epic. 730 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,960 Seven point one ounces, cracked, 50 ounces for the season. 731 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,000 That's crazy. It's like 170 thousand dollars.That's unreal. 732 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,440 Even though we haven't hit our target, I think we've done pretty bloody well, 733 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,480 considering we've managed to pay our digger off. 734 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,320 We've got our own ground and we're viable. 735 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,920 We've set ourselves up to move into another season. 736 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,720 Yeah, I guess the main target is to find gold every day. 737 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,080 And we've achieved that. Absolutely. And we've only just started on this lease. 738 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,440 This is the beginning. We've picked an area to work. 739 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,280 You know, who knows what else this lease has to offer? 740 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,280 We wandered. We found. We conquered. We conquered. 741 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,400 (ALL LAUGHING) 742 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,320 Good job.

And then it rained, and then it kept raining. 794 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,960 Yeah.But we finally got it dialled in, got it working. 795 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,800 And that sale of Fair Lady. 796 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,800 I mean, that came in at the perfect time. 797 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,040 We've flipped that lease. We've made money on it. 798 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,040 Well, let's just hope that we've made our target. 799 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,240 We've definitely got gold from the Kraken, but how much? 800 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,000 Yeah.

So, all up. 803 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,040 We're well over one million dollars for the season. 804 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,640 So we've done it.We have. Season finished. 805 00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:43,680 We've got a future here.Yeah.

Let's learn from our mistakes. 810 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,680 When the rain came in and it literally rained and rained, 811 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,520 for those times we need a wet plant. 812 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,120 Absolutely. I mean, that could have been the end of us. 813 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,040 And if that happens next season, we don't want as much downtime. 814 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,720 I'd like to put some of our gold back into building a big, wet plant. Yup. 815 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,800 So next season, whatever weather we can be running. Yup, it sounds like a plan. 816 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,920 Next season, we're going to be cracking?Yeah. 817 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,680 But for now, I think we just...
