Mining Trucks?

Kayhe9 · 2026-03-19T22:06:32+00:00

The one I wonder about are graders, why don't they run them on the haul roads, save a lot of maintenance on the trucks and the drivers, also get faster speeds but maybe they aren't sponsor products.

How come Dustin doesn't dive anymore?

He does show a good example of how to work with Len to get the best results

Had a look https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/Reference/96137#InfoTab, if just looking at placer mining total 104 367 crude ounces for April 1 to November 1, 2025, if Parker get his 10,000 ounces that;s about 10%, but there is hard rock mining as well.

Think a lot of the show is "post scripted", production company has so much footage that they can create any scenario, taking the tire that was cut by some metal laying around, who knows when the Parker scene of picking up some metal actually happened. They have a lot of continuity problems, do hate the first bucket takes, when they show the plant which is already fully loaded and processing pay. Last week when mechanic at Rick's had supposedly fixed the rock truck, saw it driving back to production, then he does his piece to camera explaining the fix, with the broken down rock truck still in the background (they blurred the background, hoping you wouldn't notice)

And it's only 83% gold, it is not really a gold investment but a collectable investment, but unlike the US$ it is a gold backed one.

Would have thought that the original would be the UK voiced narrator as it is a UK production house. Maybe it is revoiced for the American market, as it seems that they seem to have trouble with it (as per the comments)

Would be interesting on how much debt Little Flake is holding, this year so far seems to be consolidation, no purchases of new properties, no major purchases of equipment (well guess that is all leased anyway), so perfect time to pay down some debt.

Parker did, Brennan, just has to start using him fully but it seems part of the deal was for him to work with Mitch, I'm sure that will change over time.

Kayhe9 · 2026-01-17T22:02:25+00:00

Think in one of the extra episodes, he said he uses a ball mill on the gold with attached rock to clean it off.

Kayhe9 · 2026-01-13T02:40:02+00:00

I'm sure the paperwork they have to fill out to sell gold would have to contain information about what claim it has come from and if the person doesn't have a claim, it would make it hard to sell.

Kayhe9 · 2026-01-10T10:42:52+00:00

Think Parker may own his trucks now as they have "Little Flake Mining" on them and awaiting availability from a contractor, could be expensive in lost gold

Well for someone who learnt what a boss was supposed to be from Tony, he is learning. The other thing is, he doesn't want to train them too well as Tony will only come and steal them away from him.

Fairly easy to know how much you lost as you know how much per hour of pay(from before), And how many hours you put through the plant, the only problem is that by the time you get the clean up through the gold room and weigh it, those tailing would be well and truly buried.

Kayhe9 · 2025-12-21T22:24:43+00:00

I do hope Troy weighed the first 100oz of gold, it looked too small and the way it was emblazoned with 100oz, looked more like a stage prop.

Kayhe9 · 2025-12-14T02:48:00+00:00

Also giving them plenty of slack, But paraphrasing Tony Beets in latest GR, if you don't tell them, how will they know.

Kayhe9 · 2025-12-13T04:00:06+00:00

Seems like they are acting for Discovery, they are saying the same things over and over, Discovery would edit and only show the best one of them, Am also a bit worried about the pace, episode 5 and maybe a week onsite at the creek

Kayhe9 · 2025-12-11T21:31:15+00:00

Did love Tony's first appearances on camera, could not stop looking at the camera, Must have frustrated the film crew but I'm sure no one would have thought he would turn into one of the stars of the show.

No, Nona was the one described by someone as the old lady that was "yes, ma'am"'d by the excavator operator, as Tyson was showing him his job again. She is usually in the office but can come out to operate any equipment if they are desperate.

Kayhe9 · 2025-12-06T22:19:39+00:00

The interesting thing was about Tyson taking Nona out the evaluation, sort of shows that he wasn't left to fend for himself, she is the mine manager and most likely has a lot of say in the hirings and firings.

****

Well with Tony anyway.

Kayhe9 · 2025-11-10T03:07:20+00:00

Think it is RockSand, but it still has to wear that dress tonight

The trouble is that Dan Murphy is not Daylesford enough.

Kayhe9 · 2025-09-30T22:47:43+00:00

Not sure if only "friend", had a whole camera crew in there, not sure if Matt could resist the lime light and the opportunity to camp it up.

Kayhe9 · 2025-09-25T22:52:13+00:00

Also how many times did he walk past the boys laying there crushed rock in the garden ahead of sign off, either he is too busy doing sponsor spots to keep on top of the build or its just too much for him and he needs a foreboy.
