Karl?s running Last Chance on his own this year and gunning for 1000 oz but the ground is difficult - instead of following gold channels he?s cleaning up after a massive dredge which has left the gold in hard to predict spots. Karl analyzes dredge maps, tests the ground and wins big but not without being challenged by weather, spotty ground and managing a mine full time. ??(photo credit: Paperny Entertainment)

Dennis Poirier at 10 Mile Creek. Miner and Alberta farm boy, Cam Johnson, loves the thrill of chasing gold. Cam mines on the remote 10 Mile Creek, several hours upriver from Dawson City and only accessible by boat or plane—a huge obstacle when a part breaks or groceries run low. Cam runs two operations on his mine. A dry plant with partner Kevin is Cam’s biggest hope for pulling in a lot of gold. And after two seasons battling machines and poor returns, Cam can’t afford to go home broke again. Cam’s second operation is a wet plant shared with brother-in-law and business partner Dennis. It’s a lean crew searching for fine gold. Running two operations at once means double the problems, and Cam is fighting to keep the mine alive. Family is Cam’s top priority, and he keeps his close. His wife and children help out at the mine in any way possible, from operating machines to gold cleaning to cooking dinner. Mining life is hard, but this family loves it. When the going gets tough, they rely on each other to see it through. (photo credit: Paperny Entertainment)
