In our mission to to uncover the truth behind the curse of Slumach’s gold mine, a major piece to the puzzle lies with Volcanic Brown. Although some things have been lost to history, one thing we know for sure he had been on the hunt for Slumach’s gold, for over a decade. Did their paths ever meet? How did Volcanic Brown become a prospecting legend?

In this episode, we retrace Brown's journey from the gold fields of the Maritimes, to the labour disputes in Ontario, and to finally, landing in the wild west of British Columbia where our tale begins to take shape.
