Jungle Gold
''Jungle Gold'' is an American reality television series on the Discovery Channel that debuted on October 26, 2012.
==Synopsis==
The series follows George Wright and Scott Lomu as they join the lucrative African gold rush in an attempted high-risk financial recovery from having lost everything in the real estate crash of 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/jungle-gold/about-the-show/about-the-show.htm )〕 It focuses on the duo as they encounter the task of gold placer mining in the Ashanti Belt along the Birim River in Ghana of West Africa. Aside from manpower from local villages, the pair use excavators, trommels and water pumps to mine. In the first season, the nearest town is Romaso. In the second season, the nearest town is Fahiakobo, both close to each other, with the nearest city being Dunkwa-On-Offin. Filming for the second season started on March 6, 2013,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://twitter.com/JungleGeorgeVI/status/309408286900367360 )〕 with the season premiering on August 11, 2013.
The return expedition to Ghana in the second season was cut short following an attack on a site nearby, by armed militia. The attack led to the injury of associate Allen Reece, and prompted the crew to leave the area in fear of their own safety. In the safety of the TV production compound in town, Scott and George learned that the Ghanaian Minister for Lands and Natural Resources issued an arrest warrant for them, along with the entire Discovery Channel film crew, in reaction to their exploits shown in the first season (which had just aired in Ghana), which he perceived to depict illegal mining activity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vibeghana.com/2013/05/10/ghana-govt-orders-arrest-of-two-americans-from-utah/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=273569 )〕 George and Scott maintain that they have always operated in compliance with Ghanaian law〔(REDDIT: We are Scott & George from Discovery Channel's Jungle Gold )〕 but fled from Ghana with the assistance of the Discovery Channel production crew rather than risking up to 5 years in a Ghanaian prison awaiting trial. The evacuation and drama surrounding it is shown in the final episode of the season. Since the incident, Scott & George have quietly made it known that they have worked with the Ghanaian government to clear their names, and have returned to the country at least once.
