With the pressure mounting from the landowner, Rick must ramp up his production to secure the land.

Rick Ness is currently facing a tough time in his quest for gold. He has put everything on the line for a deep test drilling that suggested a potential $5 million worth of gold, but he finds himself 800 ounces short with winter closing in.
Out of the blue, the landowner Troy Taylor, who owns the claims Rick is leasing, presents him with an unexpected proposition to purchase the property. Troy is willing to sell and asks for a down payment of 150 ounces, which amounts to a hefty quarter of a million dollars.
Feeling uncertain about the offer, Rick needs some time to weigh the financial implications and the timing of the opportunity. To boost their gold production, Rick and his crew member Kyle Lawson, a former iron worker from Yukon, come up with a plan to run both wash plants simultaneously. Kyle eagerly takes up the challenge to secure the extra 150 ounces needed.
Their hard work pays off as they manage to achieve their largest gold haul to date, totaling an impressive 315 ounces for the week. This success not only provides Rick with the funds for the down payment on the property but also allows him to move forward with the purchase.
However, Rick’s journey is more than just facing obstacles. A twist of fate brings a golden opportunity when the landowner, Troy Taylor, suggests selling the land Rick is currently leasing. Embracing the challenge, Rick and his team ramp up their efforts and manage to secure their biggest gold haul yet. With this newfound success, Rick is now contemplating a major decision – a firm decision to become the owner of his own piece of land. Despite the ongoing gold race, Rick Ness has proven that with perseverance and hard work, he is forging a new path in his gold mining career on the picturesque Yukon mountains.
