Yukon Gold is a Canadian reality television series produced by Paperny Entertainment that airs on History Television. The series follows four or five placer mining crews as they search for gold over the four-month Yukon mining season. In the first season, miners Ken Foy, Al McGregor, Bernie Kreft, and Karl Knutson each led one of the crews. Cam Johnson’s group replaced Bernie Kreft’s crew in the second season. Nika Guilbault & Chris St. Jean’s group replaced "Big Al" McGregor’s crew in the third season.
