The Dirt Dogs: Overcoming Challenges to Transport and Install a Heat Bleach Laboratory

TLDRThe Dirt Dogs face challenges in transporting and installing a mobile laboratory for heat bleach. They use a 10-ton forklift to lift the lab onto a truck but encounter difficulties. After a 240-kilometer journey on rugged dirt roads, they successfully deliver the lab. They lay a plastic ground sheet for collecting the gold-rich cyanide solution and ensure no leaks. They demonstrate the process of dissolving gold in low concentration cyanide solution. Finally, they achieve a successful haul of gold and await the completion of their heat bleach setup.
