Gold Rush

The GOLD RUSH miners are back with a vengeance for another mining season, with new gear, bigger machines, and more miners. Inspired by his father Jack, Todd Hoffman leads the miners – now with one season under their belts – to finish what they started and go for gold at Porcupine Creek.

Todd and Jack Hoffman have raised the cash and convinced their old crew to roll the dice again, to strike gold and make their fortunes. They are heading north to Porcupine Creek to settle unfinished business and they have also found a new claim – an area within which gold (or metal ores and minerals) is found – even further north in the frozen Klondike where rich gold nuggets are supposedly just below the surface. The only problem will be ripping through the iron-hard permafrost to get to it. Also, there’s serious competition for the Hoffmans this season – their arch rival, Dakota Fred, has been busy over the winter. He thinks the Hoffmans have it all wrong so he’s been buying new specialised equipment and making deals that will definitely upset them. To turn up the heat further, there is a new kid on the block who has something to prove that could put them all to shame.

Last season, the Hoffmans and their crew battled Mother Nature – and each other – to mine their way out of financially hard times. The Hoffmans sold everything they owned that wasn’t nailed down to fund their dream of striking it rich in Alaska, leasing the Porcupine Creek claim. But after sinking USD$250,000 into the project, they found only USD$20,000 worth of gold by the end of their long, hard rookie season – a dismal end to a summer fraught with injuries, broken machinery, constant fighting and an unhappy claim owner.

But with the skyrocketing price of gold, the Hoffmans decide to keep their dream alive. With a case of gold fever, once again, they sell all their worldly possessions and even leverage their small airport in Oregon – to fund a second mining season. But as things finally start to go their way, unforeseen circumstances threaten to jeopardise their dream. With the mining season slipping away, the Hoffman crew is forced to come up with a new plan in order to salvage what could be their last mining season.
