"Film on prospectors and gold mines in the Northwest Territories. Shown are: new towns; the buildings and people of Yellowknife; farms and the vegetable harvest; automobiles on dirt roads; a DC-3 airliner landing at a small airport; and and lake freighter in port being unloaded. Sequences show: prospectors blasting for ore samples; the operation of a test rig; a red bush plane being loaded, taking off, arriving at a prospectors' camp, and being unloaded; and molten gold being poured out of a crucible and a gold ingot tumbling out of the mold."
