00:00I saw a few bones in the paypal out of a mammoth tusk rib bone I think right rib bone
00:26yeah so things are going really well so far you know we're like coming out of the gate moving
00:42and we're over 2,000 ounces but I'm waiting for something to go massively wrong because
00:48they things don't go this smoothly for very long six weeks into the season 30 year old Parker
00:55Schnabel's plan to mine more than 35 million dollars in gold is right on schedule Tyson is
01:04being an animal this year he's done over 1,500 ounces already here on Dominion and then Mitch
01:08is doing a really good job over at sulfur sulfur had over a 350 ounce cleanup last week so that's
01:15crazy Parker's plan includes squeezing every ounce he can out of his sulfur Creek claim where foreman
01:25Mitch Blaschke has been hunting for gold rich pockets the old-timers missed you know it's been full
01:32throttle since the beginning of the season here in sulfur trying to get all the work done before the
01:36water license expires just want to make sure that we get what's ours and don't leave anything behind
01:41Mitch is down to just three weeks to get it all done making the job harder his top dirt mover Brennan
01:51rule was recently sent to open ground at their next claim great now we're threading a bunch of
01:57needles with Brennan trying to have the Indian River ready Mitch trying to have sulfur done before the
02:02water license expires we need to get the whole project done reclaimed and be out how's it going
02:17good how are you doing well yeah nice to be getting to the close of this one we can start the next
02:23project yeah holy that's a hole Wow very muddy hole nobody's done any panning in here I'm guessing not
02:41on this upper section we were trying to get it out as fast as we could get her to the plant and right
02:46well I'll pan some of this just out of curiosity all right well let's see what we've got
02:55holy smokes that's a hell of a pan there must be a hundred pieces of gold in there wow
03:24yeah that's pretty wild what do you think it's worth staying here a little longer and getting
03:33that last little bit of pay there's gold there and that's what we're here for but we got a lot of
03:37solution to do already this year there's a lot of solution to do always turns into a lot bigger
03:41project than we think doesn't it I want to stand up there and look at it
03:46how far does that go straight to this tree right here that's probably where I would go to
04:03you know it's gonna be tight could just have like Brennan come over here that's the best chance that
04:08you've got at getting the pay down here in time and getting it ran that'd be sweet all right I'll keep
04:13you updated over the last six weeks Mitch has dug out all the pay pockets of the two acre cut and is
04:21sluicing the last of its stockpiled pay but Parker believes the old-timers dredge missed even more gold
04:29and thinks the pastry extends up to the road he wants Mitch to expand the cut by another two acres and
04:38sluice all of its pay before the water license runs out if Parker's move pays off he could bank
04:49another 500 ounces worth one and three-quarter million dollars just when we thought sulfur here
04:57was coming to a close in typical Parker fashion now he said you know hey I want even more dirt out of
05:03there we're pushing this project all the way to its absolute limit so I just hoping we can get
05:08everything done here and sluice but it's just messing with our timeline all right the cavalry's here we
05:22can certainly use the help we're here happy to help man to give Mitch a fighting chance Parker has sent in
05:34the big guns so we've got five trucks two excavators and the loader feeding the plant we're on a hot streak
05:42right now let's stay with it finish it off and get every speck of gold we can get out of here you know
05:49everything up here is risk over reward and right now the risk is we got ourselves a lot of dirt to
05:56move here not much time but Parker thinks it's worth the reward
05:59first gold way of the year you're always hoping for a good one right it could it can set you know
06:17kind of set the pace for the rest of the year we had the opposite of that a hundred miles away Rick Ness is
06:23still trying to recover from a major setback after failing to obtain the water license needed to mine
06:31his gold rich Duncan Creek claim the diamond cut on his new claim at Lightning Creek delivered just seven
06:40ounces we're always in a race against time but you know we start having gold ways like that it just
06:46becomes even more and more serious you know there's no way we can make money off of that but that doesn't
06:49mean that we can just you don't call it quits here Rick now finds himself in deep water he's had to
06:55shut down wash plant Rocky but has just one week to pay landowner Troy Taylor 100 ounces to complete his
07:04purchase of Lightning Creek we got to move on we got to strip some new ground we've already started that
07:10we've moved up the valley we just got to pivot and pivot quick we're late to the game this season so
07:16we had to come into this location it's definitely not as good ground as Vegas Valley hopefully we can
07:23get gold out of here to at least pay the bills everyone's getting pretty beat down when you see
07:30low numbers and no gold coming in it doesn't feel too good it's definitely got a little stressful
07:37you know behind the gun here so we're gonna shift over here and change the odds hopefully start running
07:44some pay dirt soon this is definitely the beginning of working our way up the valley for sure you know
07:51we need as much uncovered as we can but pretty much it's just gonna be trial and error we want to make
07:57sure that you know this is gonna be good pay not garbage Rick's gonna come down to figure out what
08:02he wants me to do moving forward look at this what's thinking Bailey it's like the bedrock's right
08:15there and then it goes to sand obviously you don't want sand but interesting there's no telling what
08:25this bedrock might do you probably just have to follow it yes some of that was along the banks
08:31looks like pay okay but there's a spot right there where the bigger rocks look at that big rock right
08:37there that's what we want to see nice do you want that top gravelly stuff I think so yeah I would say
08:48that's the stuff we run bigger rocks should mean bigger deposits of gold over a hundred and fifty
08:55thousand years ago a giant glacier eroded and picked up gold from the Mount Hinton motherlode a massive ice
09:04sheet bulldozed down the valley tearing up the landscape when the ice melted the gold settled in
09:12scattered pockets with the heavy rocks and boulders I like it get the plant running to start hauling
09:19that to plant be great yeah you call this the boulder cut cool hopefully it's got gold in it okay thanks
09:25man yep Bailey's getting on it right here you know they're doing a good job of getting this stripped
09:31off and there's a lot more bigger boulders and stuff in that ground it just looks more promising so I've
09:35got a good feeling about that we're all pretty excited to run this stuff we'll get this fired up
09:43and we'll start pounding dirt through it well right now we're hauling pay to the plant this pay layer
09:59definitely looks you know a lot better than the diamond cut you know there is big rocks in here and
10:05I'm hoping it's gonna be really good something's going on with the bucket I just not feel improper
10:23it doesn't have any strength trying to curl right now hey Ryan got a copy man yeah something's wrong
10:32with the 750 for sure okay all right man give me just a minute and I'll be over hopefully Brian can
10:37get down here and figure out what's going on because this is our main machine that's the only
10:41thing that we got down here that can load rock trucks quick enough so right now we're on a standstill
10:46we got a issued with 750 right now I probably got a couple more hours worth of pay here if there's no
11:05pay at this plant there's no gold in the box so it's pretty crucial to have that thing back up and
11:11drop it at lightning creek the nest crew 750 excavator has gone down preventing them from digging pay dirt
11:20from the new boulder cut I'd zip that plate off let's make as much room as we can I'll get in there
11:26and I'll crack it open all right where is she at all righty okay we've got a pilot hose over here that
11:44comes from the back main pump and goes all the way up just underneath the cab that's chafing pretty bad
11:49the 750 excavators bucket moves forward when hydraulic fluid is pumped through a hose into a cylinder with a
11:58piston at 5,000 pounds per square inch the bucket is then forced to retract when the cylinder is injected
12:06with hydraulic fluid by a second hose Ryan has discovered this hose has a leak in the body of the excavator near the
12:16pump he plans to disconnect the hose and remove it then replace it with a new one restoring the hydraulic
12:30system's full pressure allowing the bucket to once again pull six yards of boulder pay dirt with each scoop
12:46right here yeah go ahead oh yeah you're good look at this yeah right there so this will get us going get us
12:58back in the pay and keep things rolling all right I got it all zip tied up gonna get our bottom plates on
13:06and get our top plate mounted back and uh Bailey will be back at it oh baby
13:11all right bottom side's good
13:18hey Bailey 750's fixed
13:24thanks Ryan
13:25we got the 750 up and running again which is awesome we got three trucks uh we got to hurry up here and uh
13:36get that pay to the plant
13:42I really need this to work out we all need this to work out this is our spot for the summer and uh
13:46we need to see we need to get started getting some gold out of it I'm not gonna sleep well until I get a
13:50whole run out of this ground and if it doesn't start showing us gold well you know what good is it you
13:57know I'm not full panic mode but I am definitely got my hand over the the panic button
14:06so far the season went pretty good so happy happy as they say a month and a half into his season
14:12king of the clandard tony beats is cashing in on his early bird cut right now we just lose a lot going
14:26if it runs don't get it going
14:40he's already banked over 1800 ounces of his 6500 ounce target and is now opening the corner cut
14:48the corner cut
14:54the corner cut is so big that it's gonna take us a while to get down the pay but we should have plenty
15:01of time to get it all set up and do some serious losing the minute we'll figure it out voila
15:08with mike when he has his crommel going well then we'll just see what we can pull off
15:1840 miles away on paradise hill pretty busy right now here at mike's shipping department
15:26turn my way a bit go to get the next one i'm told to get this organized i'm told to get this ready i'm
15:33told to get this going this is all indian river i'm just a delivery boy
15:38trouble is not going to happen anytime soon at this rate
15:42if he wants to see gold my dad's gonna have to leave me alone and let me do it
15:47at the start of the season you give kevin a bunch of help getting him going so is there anything you're
15:52going to help us with tony's youngest son mike made a case for his own claim there's some opportunities
16:00out there let's get these two places here going first and then we'll talk
16:05tony tasked mike with getting their paradise hill operation running
16:10but two weeks ago i don't know what the going on tony stole half of his equipment and crew if
16:16you don't like it i guess that sucks to be him you try to take all my people and then all my and then
16:23expect me to still run the hill now mike's paradise hill trommel still sits idle and he has no gold
16:33coming in hey what's going on
16:41what's the problem right now i'm at equipment i can do one project at a time i can sluice i can strip
16:47i do not have enough to do both which means i'm going to be able to run the trauma here you will not
16:58you know tony's train of thought right the indian is the only thing that's producing right now
17:04so that's what he wants to focus on it's a little bit worrisome that he takes your equipment
17:11why can't i start taking back that would go over really well you and i both know that so that's
17:17not going to happen so what are you going to do now do you have a plan b we have harold a nice plant
17:24sitting down in hester it's basically stupid proof just got a few some pipe hook it up to the pump test
17:31the pump and then i just got to get an excavator and a loader down there and i could be solution that's
17:36great how would you feel to just have your own claim just your stuff no interference with your
17:44father like kevin i would like it it'd be fun you think that's going to happen no he's too busy out
17:51there i want to have a little wager 10 bucks i say it will we can also say 20 bucks you're scared 20 bucks
18:06with that being said i do think you have to go back to work i'll see you later
18:16mike got a little bit of a rough end of the deal here because he doesn't have all the people and
18:20all the equipment but it's it's just the way tony is it it's he focuses on what's right in front of
18:27him not what's 60 miles down the road mike plans to use what little equipment tony left
18:35behind to make a quick score by sluicing a pile of old-timer tailings that he believes are rich in
18:43gold but first he has to connect the water supply to wash plant harold so i'm going to be testing
18:52out our new fusion machine here without no water you ain't sluicing at all
18:58if mike can fit through the pipe will fit
19:02spread your wings and fly mike
19:11it works
19:14right now we lift up the pipe so i can line it up
19:17up my way stop i just lined them up i'm tightening them up now i'm waiting for the heating pad to warm
19:26up put it in there yeah okay that melts the pipe so that when i push it together it fuses get ready
19:35it's working
19:49i heard thunder pull the tongue bring it over here
19:55now it's raining pretty good hold it up try to cover it so it doesn't get pissed on rain
20:00if rain gets into the melted junction air bubbles will form and the fuse will burst under high water pressure
20:14we don't get this fuse together i ain't getting no water to herald
20:17yeah that's gonna be good the rain seems to be stopping you guys can take it off
20:31before mike can test if the fuses will hold he needs to connect the pipe to the pump across the creek
20:41lift it up into the air
20:42yeah it's looking good excellent that's good zach pull it in
20:57cut
20:59next step is to put the suction in chain this up trying not to get hit in the face with a bucket
21:04because it's not on my bucket list to do
21:12the pipes are all hooked up fused together all i have to do is test fire the pump make sure everything's
21:25good enough water that's good that's lovely i love it i'm firing up
21:56everything's working
21:59first scoop into herald here we go
22:07for the first time this season mike is on the gold
22:14nice finally get this thing going got it there
22:23it was brutal there's no way we would have made this happen without uh the trucks and the extra help
22:44up here but we are finally down to pay and uh we're going to load that in the trucks and haul it down to
22:49rock sand at sulfur creek mitch blasky has hit pay in the first section of the new two acre extension
22:58now his crew is in a race to sluice it all before the water license runs out in less than three weeks
23:06oh
23:07oh
23:11loader operator sean holcroft is feeding the new pay through wash plant roxanne
23:18parker he's got some deadlines going so we really got to bust our balls here and get moving
23:23i got this old 220 loader this thing's a little ancient still able to wash rocks with the plant but
23:29she's a bit of a rough ride yeah my second year down here now the big step up for me a little bit
23:34more responsibilities they're letting me do a lot more it's pretty awesome to have this opportunity
23:39i really love it
23:46i don't know what the going on with this thing
23:51it looks like you got the brakes are locking up
23:55let's take half low
24:01painful man
24:05getting a low hydraulic oil board in here
24:09okay mitch this uh it's 220 here it's up real bad i guess they got no power barely making it up
24:19this ramp there's no way i'm gonna be able to keep up with this even at 100 yards an hour
24:24this is not what we need right now
24:31unfortunately you know 220 being down right now we're gonna shut roxanne down shutting down
24:37rock sand could mean losing over eight thousand dollars an hour parker has all these ambitions
24:44the things he wants us to do this season but we got one old loader out here and right now we're not
24:49sleucing
24:52to fix the loader mitch calls in mechanic taylor mateika
24:56i've got an alarm for low hydraulic oil you can see there's nothing on the sight glass
25:04with the machine running um the transmission oil was way high it should be at the bottom of the
25:10sight glass here we're way over full uh so what caused this is the parking brake and it's got a
25:17piston inside with seals that that release the parking brake these seals have failed and the parking
25:22brake is dragging and it's filling the transmission with hydraulic oil
25:29i'm just gonna pull the drain plug on the transmission here and we'll uh we'll let her buck
25:39hopefully it's just the seals but if it's uh if a piece got between the piston and the housing
25:44we might have a piston and uh that's gonna that's gonna be a huge problem
25:48the 220 loader's parking brake is spring loaded and controlled by hydraulic pressure
25:57to access the brake taylor will first cage it by using three bolts that compress the springs
26:03releasing the brake and securing the piston to the brake cover he will then remove the 16
26:10bolts that hold the cover in place and lift off the caged parking brake piston
26:16taylor can then remove and replace the damaged seals before reinstalling the brake uncaging the springs
26:23and refilling the hydraulic oil allowing the parking brake to function properly
26:30we're just buzzing the parking brake out here we've got it caged with these three bolts
26:38there we go we'll take it out put it on the back of my truck hopefully this thing is not
26:42because we can't afford a downloader you can see here there's no real damage of the piston but the
26:50parking brake seal is completely we need to replace it sean was right to give me a shout right away
26:57we'll swap the seals out and put this thing back together let's get started we'll peel these seals off
27:04we're at the assembly stage now just putting these seals in hey taylor you got a copy taylor
27:13yeah go ahead how's it going over there man um we're putting new seals in the parking brake right
27:18now thank god it was just the seals and we had them in stock give us about an hour and a half two
27:22hours and this thing will be up and running all right man we'll uh be ready for it mitch is chomping
27:27at the bit to get this thing up and running and it's just you know race against time to get this thing back
27:31together it's all good
27:46fill it with transmission oil we can be back to making money
27:52transmission's full parking brakes reassembled resealed everything's hooked up
27:57up lay down good boy
28:11i'm going to take it down to sean so they can go fire up roxanne
28:21oh yeah buddy thanks man five hours after shutting down
28:26and forty thousand dollars of gold production lost
28:30roxanne is back in the game washing rocks roxanne shaking getting that gold
28:38we got roxanne on a good clip here it's loosen along very nicely we're pushing this project here at
28:45sulfur all the way to its absolute limit we're getting through it but we're not out of the woods yet
28:55we understand we're not mining vegas valley it's different it's up for us to prove that there is
29:23something here it's going to be non-stop it's not going to be uh it's not going to be an easy season
29:29i think this will be our toughest season with rick rick's crew is sluicing pay dirt from the new
29:35boulder cut which they hope will finally deliver some gold we're going to probably work our way up
29:41this valley probably all season hopefully uh you know the farther we go or the more that we run the
29:46better it looks guys i need you all to come meet me at the lay down yard i want all of you there
30:02what's going on i got some news
30:32what's going on i got some news
30:47we got a water license on lower duncan really yes
30:52yeah yeah that's actually really good news got something for you guys
31:00we got the news today from the attorney they granted an extension until november 2025
31:16we can go break ground vegas valley start draining it we can get gold from vegas valley this year was
31:21that a verified email the verified email okay good yes yes yeah we 100 have a water license a land use
31:28permit and everything at lower duncan in just four years rick's claim on lower duncan paid out nearly
31:356 000 ounces but after losing the water license he had to abandon it including a pay pile that could
31:43contain more than 1.4 million dollars in gold already got a pile up there ready to run and you know
31:52we can actually run that now so what does that mean for this deal
31:57well that's a good point because we can't just walk away from this i promised troy another 100
32:01ounces to buy lightning creek i'm not just going to pull 100 outside of here and give it to troy and walk
32:06away you know we've got to pull some serious gold out of here but this is really good news i don't even
32:11think you've seen the best out of vegas valley yet no and i'm hoping we haven't seen the best out of
32:15this yeah you know i think our future is really bright i've got a lot to figure out but we've got
32:20a water license and we are going back to vegas valley this is cause for celebration yeah guys all
32:27right
32:32you know in my head right now i'm very happy there's a lot going on right now it's like one extreme to
32:36the other right we had no water license now we've got a water license in two spots you know i want to
32:41just run to vegas valley i know the gold's there but i've got obligations on lightning creek you know i owe
32:44troy 100 ounces you know that's that's a quarter million dollars so there's a lot to figure out
32:48but at the end of the day this is good news
33:08that's nice to be finally solution it's been a long time coming
33:11at paradise hill despite a lack of equipment mike is determined to prove to his dad that he can
33:20bring in the gold just careful not to overload it
33:25it's nice to get this going it's exactly what i wanted closer and closer every time
33:29oh
33:34uh we got a gasket blowing out on this pump shut it down
33:40close the bypass
33:43i'm going to lift this up take these off so i can get this little orange piece here and i can check the
34:03rubber
34:08if you hop in the excavator i'll wrap it around we'll just lift it
34:11yeah because these are coming off like butter
34:27my gasket's ripped completely yeah she ripped straight apart
34:31my only two rubbers i got too small or weave it too big
34:40we can make that work though you know what i mean cut holes
34:43we're gonna have to around with this
34:51what we're gonna do is mark out all the holes and then we'll just push the bolt holes through
34:55then i'm gonna cut and yeah that bolt will fit through it
35:08yeah there should be 12.
35:12a little scabby but it'll work
35:15for the bush fix gasket to work it must form a tight seal between the two metal flanges
35:21uh a little bit more my weight there we go if we do this and it works it should last until forever
35:34hey that's my butt
35:38let her down
35:45that's tight it should all work
35:51uh
36:11let's get going
36:13finally uh getting this done without us we happen to get any gold so i'm gonna grab every ounce of
36:18some gold they can out of that dirt.
36:20Between me and Colby, we should be able to get this thing
36:22going.
36:24This will be running for the rest of the season.
36:35Mike Beetz may be dreaming of his own Klondike kingdom,
36:39but there is already a crown he wears proudly.
36:44According to everyone, I'm a king of around,
36:46so this should be nothing new.
36:50Go chase the beaver.
36:52Go, go, go!
36:54You make me do it.
36:58So I leave you guys alone for, what, two minutes,
37:01and then you're around again?
37:03Let's go!
37:04Nah, just around.
37:16Oh, yeah!
37:17Nice glasses.
37:18Thanks, man.
37:19How are you?
37:20No fire?
37:21No.
37:22It's too hot for that.
37:23It's hot.
37:24Summer finally got here.
37:25Yeah, it came fast.
37:26It was a smart move to pivot from a diamond cut.
37:27There's no way we can make a limit off it.
37:29And, you know, I like the spot that we moved to.
37:31Um, it's definitely looking better, um, in every way there's boulders there.
37:45It was nicer material compared to that stuff that we just dug at the start of the diamond
37:50cut.
37:51So we're on the right track.
37:52Yeah.
37:53Well, I guess maybe we should weigh up the gold.
37:56Rick's previous spot, the diamond cut, produced just 7.35 ounces.
38:02Now, he's hoping the new boulder cut will deliver at least 30 ounces for its run time.
38:09Alright, count it out.
38:141, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22, 22.35.
38:29Worth?
38:30$78,000.
38:31Definitely an improvement.
38:32We gotta look at it that way.
38:33Three times better.
38:34Yeah.
38:35I mean, obviously, that water license coming in is huge, um, but a lot of decisions come
38:44with that, you know.
38:46There's a lot of pieces that have to fall in, you know, fall into place.
38:49What's going through your head?
38:50Tough it out here?
38:51I mean, we're gonna have to go back to Vegas Valley.
38:54I mean, I want to.
38:56And maybe at the end of the day, this is just not the happening spot right here.
39:01We can't abandon this place.
39:03I did buy it.
39:04But the one thing that I can say is that we can't afford to just shut this down while
39:09we're, you know.
39:10We gotta take advantage of all the sluicing hours we can get.
39:12How many gold ways do we say there can be improvement before we finally say we need
39:16to get our asses back to Vegas Valley?
39:17At the end of the day, I owe Troy, you know, 100 ounces on this ground.
39:21So we can't just walk away from it right now.
39:23It's the only spot we're getting gold from.
39:25Does he care where the 100 ounces comes from?
39:27Because I'm telling you now, you're gonna get 100 ounces a lot quicker.
39:30You do the math, it doesn't make sense to hit 1,800 ounces by the end of the season.
39:33You know, it's gonna take a while to get Vegas Valley ready, so.
39:36The minute we're able to sluice down there, we will go there.
39:38That's a promise.
39:39I think we should go there now.
39:41Well, that's too bad.
39:43I think there's gold here.
39:46I hope you're right.
39:48Definitely the pressure's gonna be on, man.
39:54Thanks, guys.
39:55I appreciate it.
39:56Yeah, this gold way was better than last week, but it's not as good as what lower Duncan could be.
40:00There could be 400 ounces in that pay pile.
40:03So, you know, for us to try to reach 1,800 ounces, we need to be down there right away.
40:08Well, the gold total for the week, 22.3 ounces.
40:10Yeah, three times as good.
40:11But the exciting thing is we got the water license extension back on Duncan Creek,
40:14so we go back to Vegas Valley, which is huge news.
40:17Now, everybody's just arguing on when.
40:19They want to go there immediately, but the timing's just not right.
40:21You know, it's gonna take a few days to get that ready,
40:23and I'm not willing to stop getting gold from Lightning Creek until it is ready.
40:27So, we're gonna stick it out here, and we'll be back in Vegas Valley soon.
40:40Hello.
40:41Hey, guys.
40:42Hey, guys.
40:43Here.
40:44How are you?
40:45Good.
40:46Yes.
40:47Good, good, good.
40:48Have a seat.
40:51I've been here pretty much all week.
40:53Sluicing away in the early bird cut there.
40:55Doing very well, actually, I think.
40:57Busy stripping.
40:58Corner cut.
40:59So, been going after quite well.
41:01How about you guys?
41:02Yeah, I said apparel.
41:04Yeah, I said apparel.
41:05Yeah.
41:06We, uh...
41:07Did some old-time entailings, didn't we?
41:09Might as well sluice it sitting there.
41:10Oh, really?
41:11Perfect.
41:12Anything you get is bonus.
41:14I mean, if the price is off today, rather than throwing it away, that don't make no sense.
41:18Did it show anything?
41:19Oh, there's a little bit.
41:21Could have better count it quick, I guess, huh?
41:23I'll pour slow.
41:24There were one, two, three, four, and a five, and a six, and a seven, eight, nine, ten,
41:36eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fourteen point two eight.
41:42Worth nearly fifty thousand dollars.
41:45It all adds up.
41:46It all adds up.
41:47I'm proud of you.
41:49That is a good little venture.
41:51So you want to see what comes from the Indian?
41:54Okay, what have we got?
41:55So far, the early bird cut is averaging 270 ounces a week.
42:01Michael, ready to count?
42:0410, 30, 40, 50, 100, 110, 120, 170, 190,
42:16200, 210, 250, 260, 270, 280, 290, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 390.
42:26Making the four?
42:27No.
42:28No?
42:29It's 398.18.
42:31Worth almost 1.4 million dollars.
42:35But I mean, you didn't make four.
42:37Oh my .
42:39Bringing the beat's season total to over 2,300 ounces.
42:44So that's not bad.
42:45You said at the beginning of the season that there were maybe some opportunities for Mike
42:49as soon as he started getting gold out of the hill.
42:52So what's happening with that?
42:54No.
42:55No, no, no, no.
42:56You got to get the thrommel going.
42:58That's where the real gold is going to come from.
43:00That's all there's to it.
43:01Just go bring me some more.
43:03Okay, see you later, guys.
43:07Yep.
43:08Bye.
43:09I do hope Tony will honor what he said to Mike because he's been working very hard
43:15to get this all sorted out.
43:16So he should get him set up.
43:19Honestly, Mike really deserves it.
43:22The frustrating part is I think I have a better chance of learning to breathe through my ass
43:26and I have him going out on my own.
43:28Whatever.
43:37What's up?
43:38Yo, yo.
43:39Well, how'd we do this week, Chris?
43:41Roxanne's just chugging away.
43:43Man, that was an unreal pan down there at Sulphur.
43:46That pan was probably one of the best ones we've ever seen.
43:49It's up there.
43:50Top ten.
43:51I hate saying anything.
43:52I don't want to jinx anything, you know?
43:54Yeah.
43:55I'm pretty good at that.
43:59How's your juggling act going?
44:01You know, it's keeping me busy, that's for sure.
44:04We're going to start out with you with Bob.
44:06How's that?
44:07Sure.
44:08Let's see how Bob did this week.
44:09Big Bob.
44:10At Dominion Creek, Tyson's been running wash plant Bob in the bridge cut,
44:16where it's averaging 170 ounces a week.
44:20Here we go.
44:21We got 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 160, 180, 188.4.
44:36Nice.
44:37Not bad.
44:38That's a good weight.
44:39So Bob's chugging along.
44:41Brendan, you want to do a slucifer here?
44:43Go for it.
44:44All right.
44:45Slucifer, in the Golden Mile, is pacing 200 ounces a week.
44:5020, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 200.
45:02Holy .
45:03232.1.
45:07Wow.
45:08Holy .
45:09Yeah.
45:10Nice.
45:11That's pretty cool, isn't it?
45:12Beautiful.
45:13For Dominion.
45:14420 ounces or something?
45:16That's a good number.
45:21And then there's Roxanne Mitchell.
45:23Whew.
45:24She looks heavy.
45:25Let's see what we got here.
45:27All right.
45:28Ready to rip.
45:29Ready?
45:30Yep.
45:31Now it's time to find out if Parker's move to extend the cut at sulfur will pay out.
45:3850.
45:39100.
45:40150.
45:41200.
45:42Oh yeah.
45:43Keep going.
45:44250.
45:45A little bit more.
45:46300.
45:47Right on the dot.
45:48Plus this.
45:49We have another one.
45:50Ooh.
45:51It looks like it's got a little in there.
45:52Ready?
45:53All right.
45:54We're going to keep adding to her.
45:55There's another 40, 80, 100, 106.5.
46:00406.
46:07406.5 ounces.
46:15106.5.
46:23406.5 ounces.
46:25Okay, yeah.
46:27Mitch, go ahead and take everything up there.
46:31With just one plant, Mitch has nearly
46:35matched Tyson's two-plant run.
46:39Dude, that's a lot for one week.
46:43Alright, so this week our total is 827
46:47ounces. Sick.
46:51Is that crazy or what? I was not expecting that.
46:55827 ounces at record prices
46:59is worth 2.89 million dollars.
47:03The most cash Parker's ever banked in one week.
47:07That's Parker's happy face.
47:11There we go.
47:13800 ounces, dude, you gotta be happy
47:15about that in a week.
47:17Hell yeah.
47:19I just hope we can keep it up. There's still so much
47:21season left. Good way to start it though.
47:23That's a good way to start it.
47:25Thank you guys. Cool, I'll bag this stuff up.
47:27We've all got to do.
47:29After several years of just moving from the
47:33Indian River and getting set up and a lot
47:35deeper ground on Dominion, it's taken a long time
47:37of like stripping and prep.
47:39And finally this season, I don't want to jinx it,
47:43but it's looking really good.
47:45We're coming out of the gates running.
47:47So hopefully we can just keep that up, right?
47:49And then sulfur is just killing it.
