So there’s a man who drilled up gold to prove to these children that the ground is loaded with the stuff and says there’s 15mil/year worth to be dug up… he owns equipment needed to dig up this 15mil/year gold… But instead wants to sell his equipment to these lost lil lambs for 10% of the projected year 1 profits. These summer children ought’a go back home to their mommies n milk n cookies

They don’t need $5 million. Having four claims myself (Elsa/Mayo area), there probably is in fact Gold present on that property. But… very very highly unlikely that there would be enough fleck/flake/nuggets to keep them feed and fuelled (everything needs petrol/diesel). Great summer experiences though. Btw. Gold (placer) claims are literally free (stake unregistered land + registration fees ($100?)). But you could make enough to make it a fun (albeit short) Summer. They should just go up and do it with no outside investment.

There's even a store up in Dawson City where one could buy all the placer equipment which would probably require a $1000-2500 investment, plus camping gear, grub. Most of the annual guys up there got or lease their own heavy equipment. Selling the gold is another issue, If I were in those guys shoes I'd be asking for 5 million and give the Dragons an 80% return.
Pretty sure there's lots of gold on Zutron.
Technically they had offers that valued their company at £20M 😂
Please tell me someone knows what happened to these guys? If I find out they did actually were successful with this...I'm going to have to re-think my whole worldview

Ah, young naivete! "The claim owner did the drilling." Sounds like he dusted it. A claim owner who absolutely knows there's gold, is going to mine it himself, you fools.
Lmfao what a great last few words of the video
This is my kind of entertainment lololololololol
I would have given these two kings all my savings V__V
The Dragons had a few teachings in this one, but they didn't go quite far enough, instead making fools out of the pair. This offer is a bad investment, even if they were experienced miners. The venture is likely a lousy life commitment for the participants that would damage families. You need three whole binders full of geology surveys, construction plans, reports, and information to get a deal like that after leadership has spent a couple years working on it.

That was a more realistic proposition that some I have seen on this programme. And the big joke will be if they genuinely do strike gold. In any case, there could be one person who does strike gold and that is the claimholder if he gets his CAD1.5m!
