Season 10 of the main series aired earlier this year, and, in addition to Lost Mine, the show has spawned four spinoffs, which have featured members of the main cast heading off to locations such as Guyana, Peru, Chile, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Alaska, Arizona, and Montana to mine.
Gold Rush follows several family-run mining companies, mostly in the Klondike region of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada, and those companies’ efforts at placer mining, which focuses on the mining of stream beds to find mineral deposits, along with the use of new machines and other technology or techniques which become common in the profession.
