They were millionaires till the economic downturn made them paupers. Jungle Gold Monday to Friday at 10 p.m. on Discovery Channel revolves around George Wright and Scott Lomu, who are desperate to reclaim their lives after the crash of 2008. They see their chance when someone tells them there are millions of dollars of gold buried in Ghana, Africa’s second largest gold producing country. They borrow $150,000 from an investor and head to Ghana’s dense jungles to join thousands of determined gold miners from around the world who go there to seek their fortunes. It sounds like a perfect get-rich-quick opportunity, but in Ghana, mining is the easy part. With everything on the line, the two rookie American gold miners know the pressure is on them from the very start to find gold to pay back this loan, as well as their other debts. Their stakes have never been higher. But they soon realise while getting the gold out of the ground is a challenge, the real test comes once they find it. Armed thieves, illegal miners and escaping with the precious metal (and their lives) are among their biggest challenges. Watch this hair-raising series where one wrong move will mean not just end of their mission but their lives as well. — NF
