BBC - Gold Town Series 1 (2021) 1080p HDTV x265 AAC MVGroup

Buried deep in the spectacular landscape of Scotland's Highlands, there is gold. This series follows the fortunes of a band of miners, many of whom are new to the job, as they attempt to extract it. If the mining company can make it work, this will be Scotland's very first commercial gold mine. Filmed in the Scottish Highlands over a year and a half, the series follows the constant challenges at the mine and the life in the local community, a busy hub that up until now has relied mainly on tourism.

Chapter 1
Eighty-three-year-old farmer John Burton and his wife Deirdre have known about the gold on their land for almost 40 years. A quartz vein, hidden inside Beinn Chuirn, contains gold estimated to be worth ?200 million. However, several companies have already tried and failed to extract it, and establishing a new mine is not easy.

Chapter 2
It's November 2019, and the delays in building the processing plant for the gold mine continue. Shifting 185,000 tons of mountain terrain to level the ground should have taken six weeks, but it has now been three months and they are nowhere near finished.

Chapter 3
It's February 2020, and the mine is six months behind schedule, with no sign of the processing plant. Despite the efforts of the redeployed miners, winter conditions mean they haven't been able to finish creating a flat platform on the hillside for building to start.
