‘Gold Rush’: Tyson Lee Gets Emotional Amid Ex-Crew Member’s Leukemia Battle

Parker Schnabel's foreman, Tyson, faced a critical equipment failure on the Bob wash plant at the Golden Mile while struggling with news that his longtime mentor, Mike Tupper, has leukemia.
Tyson has known Mike since he was 13, viewing his mentor as a secret weapon during professional challenges; with his mentor currently undergoing chemotherapy, the foreman felt the weight deeply.
Reaching out to his mentor for support, Tyson received motivation to push forward as Mike Tupper used his resources to expedite the screen deck shipment from Vancouver Island to Dominion Creek.
With the replacement part traveling 1,800 miles to arrive, the crew restored the wash plant, meeting Parker's demand to have the unit back in the pit by week's end.
Parker continues pushing for his 10,000-ounce target as gold prices soar, with the team aiming to keep all four wash plants operational to maintain seasonal momentum.
