deep in North Queensland Parker is at
Eureka Creek a 30 acre stretch of virgin
ground owned by the Fitzgerald family
ground so remote it was never mined by
the old-timers
after running a yard of virgin dirt
Parker is ready to see if the ground at
Eureka Creek is profitable enough to
mine in his offseason there she is
there's the cleanup now we just got to
pan it off hopefully we'll get a bit of
a result out of this proved to do
something here fingers crossed
[Music]
how's that oh look at that that's
probably damn close to a grandma by
comparison we hope for a gram per three
yards yeah Roy so a third of a gram of
yard and that's stripping ten feet of
frozen mud off at a top you guys don't
have the stripping not a true and you
don't have the permafrost in your terms
that's extremely rich ground yeah the
grounds amazing I mean in the Yukon
right now we're looking at ground like
good ground is 20 bucks a yard that's
really good we we averaged about 15 yeah
this is 40 yeah with no stripping
Parker's estimate makes Eureka Creek the
richest ground he's ever mined or
prospected maybe mom and dad should keep
it up it's a really good test we've done
a great job that was an old test night
that was really good good Anya I'm glad
you got us in here Terry if we're
serious about doing something and if you
and your family are serious as well then
I'd be I'd be coming back but at this
point it's up to you and your family
well mom and dad got to make a decision
at the end of the day of God really say
what they're gonna do yet it's really up
to them
