Parker Schnabel is heading to Brazil for the new season of Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail. The show, which premieres on May 31 on the Discovery Channel, will follow Schnabel’s journey to the biggest gold frontier on earth.
With his land lease in the Yukon running out, Schnabel is on the hunt for new opportunities. In this season, he ventures into dangerous territory, exploring the most extreme jungle and mountain goldmines on the planet. Schnabel aims to recover millions of dollars in gold hidden in the ground and expand his golden empire.
Brazil is home to the largest gold reserves in the world, and Schnabel’s quest for untapped riches will take him deep into this vast country. Previous seasons of Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail have seen Schnabel travel to New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Australia in search of lucrative claims.
The series provides a behind-the-scenes look at Schnabel’s mining operations and his pioneering spirit. It offers insight into the challenges and risks faced by those in the gold mining industry, as they navigate treacherous terrain and push their equipment to the limit.
Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail is a spin-off of the popular reality television series Gold Rush, which follows various family-run mining companies in their quest for gold. The show has aired for 14 seasons, with the latest season beginning in September 2023, focusing on the mining crews of Schnabel, Tony Beets, Rick Ness, and the McCaughans.
