The crew finally hits it big, but with winter descending, Claudia worries that the big find may have come too late.
Claudia is desperate to start mining, but brutal road conditions have her questioning whether the crew will even make it into their claim.
While Guy and Gary race to fix the torn-up road into the claim, Claudia's hoping a new crew member will be the lucky ticket she desperately needs to turn this make-or-break mining season into a success.

Tensions boil over between Robin, Josh and Steve about how to mine and when Claudia steps in, things get downright explosive.
Plagued with truck troubles, Robin and his crew race to get a fuel run done before the equipment runs dry. Claudia hires Scrappy Larry to clean up the Jade City yard but he makes a bigger mess.
Robin clashes with Claudia and Josh over the quality of jade coming out of their pit, while Larry's attempt to help get the crew bunkhouse to camp goes sideways.
Bad brakes, frazzled nerves and a rough road have Claudia doubting her crew can haul their huge bunkhouse to camp in one piece.
Claudia and crew are determined to keep mining despite wildfires burning around their claim, until things take a turn for the worse and they have to race to get out.
After losing two weeks of mining to the wildfires, Claudia and Robin take the risk of returning to Two Mile and gamble on the opening of a new pit. Scrappy Larry heads into the burned area in hopes of rescuing his abandoned skidder.
