Yukon Gold follows four gold mining crews who have only four short months in Canada’s wild Yukon to earn one BIG payday.

With the price of gold hovering at record-breaking levels, a modern-day gold rush is underway. One good strike makes a man rich – one bad season takes him down for good. Battling mechanical breakdowns, the elements and 18-hour days under the midnight sun, these competitive diehards have gold fever – and it keeps them coming back year after year for another chance to wager it all.

Fortune seekers chase their golden dreams under the midnight sun in Canada’s far north.
