Not a shareholder just watching MMG and Parker doing his thing, should be interesting to see the results on Gold Rush TV. Metallic Minerals (TSXV: MMG) is tapping Gold Rush TV star Parker Schnabel to mine the unexploited Australia Creek in the heart of the Klondike 125 years after hordes descended on Canada’s Yukon Territory.
The 28-year-old Schnabel has been the most successful miner on the reality show for the past 10 of its 13 seasons. Metallic signed a royalty agreement this year with Schnabel’s Little Flake mining company to mine 9 km of placer gold claims on the 36.4-sq.-km Australia Creek project. Production is due to start next month.
“This is a guy who really knows his equipment, knows how to scale and operate efficiently,” Metallic CEO Greg Johnson said in an interview on the site. “He’s a real operator and he’s got real expertise. He just happens to be on TV at the same time.”
