- Season 5

(2019)

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.

Robin's surprise shopping spree stresses Claudia out when his purchasing blunders delay their mining season. Scrappy Larry shares some unexpected news of his own.

Claudia tries to keep the peace when Robin and her Dad butt heads, while the crew struggle to fix one problem after another on their mine truck.

Gary and Josh are frustrated by a series of breakdowns, while Claudia makes a shocking announcement that derails Robin's plans and causes conflict between the couple.

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.

Claudia gets stressed out trying to get their best jade ready for buyers, while her crew's morale is tested as they battle the cold to finally start cutting the 90-tonne boulder.

Claudia pulls out all the stops to try and make a big sale to jade buyers, while up at the mine Guy and Gary struggle through the first snowstorm of the season.

Claudia pushes her crew to keep mining despite freezing temperatures and deteriorating road conditions, but her biggest obstacle could be Robin who wants to pack up before it's too late.
