Overview of mining activity for the Guyana Territoryĥ9☂2’49.1″N 136☁4’47.4″W Cahoon Creek Mine, located in Haines County, Alaska. USGS record for Paul’s Workings (within 2.13 miles). USGS record for Noitgedacht Creek (within 1.47 miles). USGS record for Bobb’s Workings (within 1.27 miles). USGS record for Kingston’s Workings (within 0.74 miles). USGS record for Shorey’s Workings (within 0.59 miles). The cost of importing and operating heavy machinery in the jungle undid all the gains from last season, leaving Hoffman near bankruptcy and unsure of next season’s prospects. All told, the Guyana expedition was deeply traumatic to the Hoffman expedition. Even so, the $1,350 worth in diamonds collected by the crew was worth even less than the two ounces of gold. In an act of desperation, the Hoffman crew pivot to diamond mining. Yet, by the end of the season, the Hoffman crew had mined only 2 ounces of gold. Throughout the season the team pursues gold in multiple parts of the site: Maple Creek Cut, Patience Creek Cut, Redemption Creek Cut, and the Hope Creek Cut. The region is billed as hosting five times more gold than the Klondike yet is far more dangerous than efforts in Alaska or Canada. With information gathered in this trip, the Hoffman crew relocates from the frozen north to the Q.O.D. In Gold Rush: South America-a miniseries that aired between seasons 3 and 4-the Hoffman crew scout out potential mining opportunities in Peru, Chile, and Guyana. The Parker Schnabel crew left the nearly played out Big Nugget Mine in Alaska and leased a site along Scribner Creek in the Yukon. The Dakota boys split their risk between the new, mountainous Cahoon Creek mine, and their long standing claim on Porcupine Creek. The Hoffman crew pulled up their stakes and took a swing at mining in South America at the Q.O.D. Season 4 of Gold Rush took familiar faces but shuffled locations. We suggest starting from the beginning of this series. 
This is part four of a series about the mines featured in the Gold Rush TV show.
