00:00I saw a few bones in the paypal.
00:13Is that a mammoth tusk?
00:17Rib bone, I think.
00:20Right? Rib bone?
00:24I don't know.
00:30Yeah, so things are going really well so far.
00:34You know, we're like coming out of the gate moving and we're over 2,000 ounces,
00:40but I'm waiting for something to go massively wrong because things don't go this smoothly for very long.
00:46Six weeks into the season, 30-year-old Parker Schnabel's plan to mine more than 35 million
00:54dollars in gold is right on schedule.
00:56Tyson is being an animal this year. He's done over 1,500 ounces already here on Dominion.
01:03And then Mitch is doing a really good job over at Sulphur.
01:07Sulphur had over a 350-ounce cleanup last week, so that's crazy.
01:13Parker's plan includes squeezing every ounce he can out of his Sulphur Creek claim,
01:19where foreman Mitch Blaschke has been hunting for gold-rich pockets the old-timers missed.
01:26You know, it's been full throttle since the beginning of the season here in Sulphur,
01:30trying to get all the work done before the water license expires.
01:32Just want to make sure that we get what's ours and don't leave anything behind.
01:38Mitch is down to just three weeks to get it all done.
01:42Making the job harder, his top dirt mover, Brennan Ruhl, was recently sent to open ground at their next claim.
01:51Right now we're threading a bunch of needles with Brennan trying to have the Indian River ready,
01:55Mitch trying to have Sulphur done before the water license expires.
01:58We need to get the whole project done, reclaimed, and be out.
02:02How's it going?
02:12Good.
02:14How are you?
02:14Doing well.
02:15Yeah.
02:16Nice to be getting to the close of this one.
02:17We can start the next project.
02:19Yeah.
02:21Holy, that's a hole.
02:22Wow.
02:24Very muddy hole.
02:32Nobody's done any panning in here, I'm guessing, not on this upper section.
02:37We were trying to get it out as fast as we could, get her to the plant, and...
02:41Right.
02:42Well, I'll pan some of this just out of curiosity.
02:48All right, well, let's see what we've got.
03:02Holy smokes.
03:16That's a hell of a pan.
03:17There must be 100 pieces of gold in there.
03:19Wow.
03:20Yeah.
03:21That's pretty wild.
03:23What do you think?
03:25It's worth staying here a little longer and getting that last little bit of pay.
03:29There's gold there and that's what we're here for.
03:32But we got a lot of sluicing to do already this year, so...
03:34There's a lot of sluicing to do.
03:35It always turns into a lot bigger project than we think, doesn't it?
03:40I want to stand up there and look at it.
03:50How far does that go?
03:52Straight to this tree right here.
03:53That's probably where I would go to.
03:55You know, it's going to be tight.
04:00Could just have, like, Brennan come over here.
04:02That's the best chance that you've got at getting the pay down here in time and getting it ran.
04:07That'd be sweet.
04:08All right, I'll keep you updated.
04:09Over the last six weeks, Mitch has dug out all the pay pockets of the two-acre cut
04:16and is sluicing the last of its stockpiled pay.
04:19But Parker believes the old-timer's dredge missed even more gold and thinks the pay streak extends
04:27up to the road. He wants Mitch to expand the cut by another two acres and sluice all of its pay
04:36before the water license runs out.
04:38If Parker's move pays off, he could bank another 500 ounces worth $1.75 million.
04:51Just when we thought sulfur here was coming to a close in typical Parker fashion,
04:55now he's saying, you know, hey, I want even more dirt out of there.
04:59We're pushing this project all the way to its absolute limit.
05:02So I'm just hoping we can get everything done here in sluice, but it's just messing with our timeline.
05:08Brother!
05:14All right, the cavalry's here. We can certainly use the help.
05:18Woo!
05:21We're here. Happy to help, man.
05:25To give Mitch a fighting chance, Parker has sent in the big guns.
05:31So we've got five trucks, two excavators, and the loader feeding the plant.
05:35We're on a hot streak right now. Let's stay with it, finish it off, and get every speck of gold we can
05:42get out of here.
05:43You know, everything up here is risk over reward. And right now, the risk is we got ourselves a lot
05:50of dirt to move here, not much time. But Parker thinks it's worth the reward.
06:07First gold way of the year, you're always hoping for a good one, right? It can set,
06:12you know, kind of set the pace for the rest of the year. We had the opposite of that.
06:15A hundred miles away, Rick Ness is still trying to recover from a major setback
06:22after failing to obtain the water license needed to mine his gold-rich Duncan Creek claim.
06:30The diamond cut on his new claim at Lightning Creek delivered just seven ounces.
06:36We're always in a race against time, but, you know, we start having gold ways like that,
06:40it just becomes even more and more serious, you know. There's no way we can make money off of that,
06:44but that doesn't mean that we can just, you know, call it quits here.
06:46Rick now finds himself in deep water. He's had to shut down wash plant Rocky,
06:52but has just one week to pay landowner Troy Taylor 100 ounces to complete his purchase of Lightning Creek.
07:02We've got to move on. We've got to strip some new ground. We've already started that.
07:04We've moved up the valley. We've just got to pivot and pivot quick.
07:07We're late to the game this season, so we had to come into this location. It's definitely not as good
07:15ground as Vegas Valley. Hopefully we can get gold out of here to at least pay the bills.
07:22Everyone's getting pretty beat down. When you see low numbers and no gold coming in, it doesn't feel too good.
07:29It's definitely getting a little stressful being a little behind the gun here, so we're going to shift
07:36over here and change the odds. Hopefully start running some pay dirt soon.
07:41This is definitely the beginning of working our way up the valley for sure.
07:46You know, we need as much uncovered as we can, but pretty much it's just going to be trial and error.
07:51We want to make sure that, you know, this is going to be good pay and not garbage.
07:55Rick's going to come down to figure out what he wants me to do moving forward.
08:04Look at this.
08:08What you thinking, Bailey?
08:09It's like the bedrock's right there, and then it goes to sand. Obviously you don't want sand, but...
08:17Interesting. There's no telling what this bedrock might do. You're probably just going to have to follow it.
08:23Yes. Some of that along the banks looks like pay, but there's a spot right there where the bigger rocks.
08:31Look at that big rock right there.
08:33That's what we want to see. Nice.
08:37Do you want that top, gravelly stuff?
08:40I think so.
08:42Yeah, I would say that's the stuff we run.
08:44Bigger rocks should mean bigger deposits of gold.
08:49Over 150,000 years ago, a giant glacier eroded and picked up gold from the Mount Hinton motherlode.
08:58A massive ice sheet bulldozed down the valley, tearing up the landscape.
09:04When the ice melted, the gold settled in scattered pockets with the heavy rocks and boulders.
09:10I like it. Get the plant running. Just start hauling it up to the plant. That'd be great.
09:15Yeah.
09:16You call this the boulder cut?
09:17Cool.
09:18Hopefully it's got gold in it.
09:19Okay. Thanks, man.
09:20Yep.
09:23Bailey's getting on it right here. You know, they're doing a good job of getting this stripped off and
09:27there's a lot more bigger boulders and stuff in that ground. It just looks more promising,
09:30so I've got a good feeling about that.
09:32We're all pretty excited to run this stuff. We'll get this fired up and we'll start pounding dirt through it.
09:50Well, right now we're hauling pay to the plant. This pay layer definitely looks, you know, a lot better than
09:56uh, the diamond cut. You know, there is big rocks in here and I'm hoping it's going to be really good.
10:16Something's going on with the bucket. I'm just not feeling proper. It doesn't have any strength trying to curl right now.
10:21Hey, Ryan. You got a copy, man?
10:25Go ahead, Bailey.
10:26Yeah, something's wrong with the 750 for sure.
10:28Okay. All right, man. Give me the smear and I'll be over.
10:30Hopefully, Ryan can get down here and figure out what's going on because this is our main machine.
10:36That's the only thing that we got down here that can load rock trucks quick enough, so right now we're on a standstill.
10:51We got, uh, issued with the 750 right now. I've probably got a couple more hours worth of pay here. If there's no pay at this plant, there's no gold in the box. So, um, it's pretty crucial to have that thing back up and running.
11:07At Lightning Creek, the Nescrew 750 excavator has gone down, preventing them from digging pay dirt from the new boulder cut.
11:17I'd zip that plate off. Let's make as much room as we can. I'll get in there and I'll crack it open.
11:28All right. Where is she at?
11:34All righty. Okay. We've got a pilot hose over here that comes from the back main pump and goes all the way up just underneath the cab that's chafing pretty bad.
11:44The 750 excavator's bucket moves forward when hydraulic fluid is pumped through a hose into a cylinder with a piston at 5,000 pounds per square inch.
11:57The bucket is then forced to retract when the cylinder is injected with hydraulic fluid by a second hose.
12:06Ryan has discovered this hose has a leak in the body of the excavator near the pump.
12:11He plans to disconnect the hose and remove it, then replace it with a new one, restoring the hydraulic
12:25system's full pressure, allowing the bucket to once again haul six yards of boulder pay dirt with each scoop.
12:33Right here? Yeah, go ahead. Oh yeah, you're good.
12:48Look at this. Yeah, right there.
12:49All right. So this will get us going, get us back in the pay and keep things rolling.
12:58All right, I got it all zip tied up. We're going to get our bottom plates on, get our top plate mounted
13:02back and Bailey will be back at it. Oh, baby.
13:06All right. All right, bottom side's good. There you go. Perfect.
13:17Hey, Bailey, 750's fixed. Thanks, Ryan.
13:25We got the 750 up and running again, which is awesome. We got three trucks. We got to hurry up here
13:30and get that pay to the plant. I really need this to work out. We all need this to work out.
13:39This is our spot for the summer and we need to get started getting some gold out of it. I'm not
13:44going to sleep well until we get a whole run out of this ground. And if it doesn't start showing us
13:49gold, well, you know, what good is it? You know, I'm not full panic mode, but I am definitely got my
13:57hand over the panic button.
14:15So far, the season went pretty good. So happy happy, as they say.
14:20A month and a half into his season, King of the Klondike, Tony Beetz, is cashing in on his early
14:28bird cut. Right now, we just lose a lot going. If it runs, don't with it. Get it going.
14:36He's already banked over 1,800 ounces of his 6,500-ounce target and is now opening the corner cut.
14:44The corner cut is so big that it's going to take us a while to get down the pay. But we should have
14:55plenty of time to get it all set up and do some serious losing. The minute we'll figure it out,
15:02voila. With Mike, when he has his crommel going, well, then we'll just see what we can pull off.
15:0940 miles away on Paradise Hill. Pretty busy right now, here at Mike's shipping department.
15:21Turn my way a bit. We've got the next one. I'm told to get this organized. I'm told to get this
15:27ready. I'm told to get this going. This is all Indian River . I'm just a delivery boy.
15:34Trouble is not going to happen anytime soon at this rate.
15:36If he wants to see gold, my dad's going to have to leave me alone and let me do it.
15:42At the start of the season...
15:44You gave Kevin a bunch of help getting him going. So is there anything you're going to help us with?
15:48Tony's youngest son, Mike, made a case for his own claim.
15:54There's some opportunities out there. Let's get these two places here going first and then we'll talk.
15:58Tony tasked Mike with getting their Paradise Hill operation running.
16:04But two weeks ago... I don't know what the is going on.
16:08Tony stole half of his equipment and crew. If he don't like it, I guess that sucks to be him.
16:15You try to take all my people and then all my and then expect me to still run at the hill.
16:20Now, Mike's Paradise Hill trommel still sits idle and he has no gold coming in.
16:28Hey, what's going on?
16:36What's the problem?
16:38Right now, I'm at equipment. I can do one project at a time. I can sluice, I can strip.
16:42I do not have enough to do both. Which means I ain't going to be able to run the trauma here.
16:46No, you will not.
16:53You know Tony's train of thought, right? The Indian is the only thing that's producing right now.
16:59So that's what he wants to focus on.
17:03It's a little bit worrisome that he takes your equipment.
17:06Why can't I start taking it back?
17:09That would go over really well. You and I both know that. So that's not going to happen.
17:14So what are you going to do now? Do you have a plan B?
17:18We have Harold. A nice plant sitting down in Hester. It's basically stupid proof.
17:23Just got to fuse some pipe, hook it up to the pump, test the pump.
17:27And then I just got to get an excavator and a loader down there and I could be sluicing.
17:30That's great.
17:31How would you feel to just have your own claim? Just your stuff? No interference with your father?
17:39Like Kevin?
17:40I would like it. It'd be fun.
17:42You think that's going to happen?
17:44No. He's too busy out there.
17:46Want to have a little wager?
17:5110 bucks I say it will. We can also say 20 bucks. You're scared? 20 bucks.
18:01With that being said, I do think you have to go back to work.
18:06I'll see you later.
18:11Mike got a little bit of a rough end of the deal here because he doesn't have all the people and
18:15all the equipment. But it's just the way Tony is. He focuses on what's right in front of him,
18:23not what's 60 miles down the road. Mike plans to use what little
18:29equipment Tony left behind to make a quick score by sluicing a pile of old-timer tailings that he
18:36believes are rich in gold. But first, he has to connect the water supply to wash plant Harold.
18:44So I'm going to be testing out our new fusing machine here without no water. You ain't sluicing at all.
18:53If Mike can fit through, the pipe will fit.
18:57Spread your wings and fly, Mike.
18:59It works.
19:09Right now, we lift up the pipe so I can line it up.
19:14My way. Stop. I just lined them up. I'm tightening them up now. I'm waiting for the heating pad to warm up.
19:21Put it in there? Yep. Okay.
19:24That melts the pipe so that when I push it again, it fuses. Get ready.
19:37It's working.
19:37I heard thunder. Pull the tongue, bring it over here.
19:50Now it's raining pretty good. Hold it up. Try to cover it so it doesn't get pissed on rain.
19:55If rain gets into the melted junction, air bubbles will form and the fuse will burst under high water pressure.
20:03If we don't get this fuse together, I ain't getting no water to Harold.
20:20Yeah, it's going to be good. The rain seems to be stopping.
20:24You guys can take it off.
20:26Before Mike can test if the fuses will hold,
20:29he needs to connect the pipe to the pump across the creek.
20:36Lift it up in the air.
20:41Yeah, it's looking good.
20:45Excellent. That's good, Zach.
20:48Pull it in.
20:52Good.
20:54Next step is to put the suction in.
20:57Chain this up. Try not to get hit in the face with a bucket because it's not on my bucket list to do.
21:14Pipes are all hooked up, fused together. All I have to do is test fire the pump. Make sure everything's working good.
21:20I have enough water. That's good. That's lovely. I love it. I'm firing up.
21:48Everything's working.
21:54First scoop into Harold. Here we go.
22:02For the first time this season, Mike is on the gold.
22:07Nice to finally get this thing going. Got it there.
22:11Man, it was brutal. There's no way we would have made this happen without the trucks and the extra help up here.
22:25But we are finally down to pay. And we're going to load that in the trucks and haul it down to Roxanne.
22:32At Sulphur Creek, Mitch Blaschke has hit pay in the first section of the new two-acre extension.
22:38Now, his crew is in a race to sluice it all before the water license runs out in less than three weeks.
22:44Loader operator Sean Holcroft is feeding the new pay through wash plant Roxanne.
22:54Parker, he's got some deadlines going, so we really got to bust our balls here and get moving.
23:00I got this little 220 loader. This thing's a little ancient. Still able to wash Roxanne with the plant, but she's a bit of a rough ride.
23:12I have my second year down here now. A big step up for me. A little bit more responsibility.
23:19I've got this little 220 loader. This thing's a little ancient. Still able to wash Roxanne with the plant, but she's a bit of a rough ride.
23:24I have my second year down here now. A big step up for me. A little bit more responsibilities. They're letting me do a lot more.
23:31It's pretty awesome to have this opportunity. I really love it.
23:41I don't know what the going on with this thing.
23:45Looks like you've got the brakes locking up.
23:50Let's take half load.
23:51Oh, my .
23:55painful, man.
23:59Getting a low hydraulic oil board in here.
24:06Okay, Mitch. It's 220 here. It's up real bad. I guess they got no power. Barely making it up this ramp.
24:13There's no way I'm going to be able to keep up with this, even at 100 yards an hour.
24:18This is not what we need right now.
24:25Unfortunately, you know, with 220 being down right now, we're going to shut Roxanne down.
24:31Shutting down Roxanne could mean losing over $8,000 an hour.
24:36Parker has all these ambitions and things he wants us to do this season.
24:40But we got one old loader out here. And right now, we're not sleucing.
24:45To fix the loader, Mitch calls in mechanic Taylor Matika.
24:53I've got an alarm for low hydraulic oil. You can see there's nothing on the sight glass.
24:59With the machine running, the transmission oil was way high.
25:03It should be at the bottom of the sight glass here. We're way over full.
25:08So, what caused this is the parking brake.
25:11And it's got a piston inside with seals that release the parking brake.
25:15These seals have failed and the parking brake is dragging and it's filling the transmission with hydraulic oil.
25:24I'm just going to pull the drain plug on the transmission here and we'll let her buck.
25:28Hopefully, it's just the seals, but if a piece of got between the piston and the housing, we might have a piston and that's going to be a huge problem.
25:43The 220 loader's parking brake is spring-loaded and controlled by hydraulic pressure.
25:49To access the brake, Taylor will first cage it by using three bolts that compress the springs, releasing the brake and securing the piston to the brake cover.
26:02He will then remove the 16 bolts that hold the cover in place and lift off the caged parking brake piston.
26:09Taylor can then remove and replace the damaged seals before reinstalling the brake, uncaging the springs and refilling the hydraulic oil, allowing the parking brake to function properly.
26:24We're just buzzing the parking brake out here. We've got it caged with these three bolts.
26:29There we go. We'll take it out, put it on the back of my truck. Hopefully, this thing is not because we can't afford a downloader.
26:41You can see here there's no real damage to the piston, but the parking brake seal is completely . We need to replace it.
26:48Sean was right to give me a shout right away. We'll swap the seals out and put this thing back together. Let's get started.
26:55We'll peel these seals off.
27:01We're at the assembly stage now, just putting these seals in.
27:05Hey, Taylor. You got a copy, Taylor?
27:07Yeah, go ahead.
27:08How's it going over there, man?
27:10We're putting new seals in the parking brake right now.
27:12Thank God it was just the seals and we had them in stock.
27:15Give us about an hour and a half, two hours, and this thing will be up and running.
27:18All right, man. We'll be ready for it.
27:21Mitch is chomping at the bit to get this thing up and running.
27:23Then it's just, you know, race against time to get this thing back together.
27:28It's all good.
27:40Fill it with transmission oil. We can be back to making money.
27:43Transmission's full. Parking brakes reassembled, resealed. Everything's hooked up.
27:52Lay down.
27:55Good boy.
27:56I'm going to take it down to Sean so they can go fire up Roxanne.
28:09Oh, yeah, buddy. Thanks, man.
28:10Five hours after shutting down and $40,000 of gold production lost, Roxanne is back in the game.
28:27Washing rocks. Roxanne's shaking. Getting that gold.
28:32We got Roxanne on a good clip here. It's sluicing along very nicely.
28:37We're pushing this project here at Sulphur all the way to its absolute limit.
28:42We're getting through it, but we're not out of the woods yet.
28:45We're not out of the woods yet.
28:46No, no, no.
29:06we understand we're not mining vegas valley it's different it's up for us to prove that
29:17there is something here it's going to be non-stop it's not going to be uh it's not going to be an
29:23easy season i think this will be our toughest season with rick rick's crew is sluicing pay
29:29dirt from the new boulder cut which they hope will finally deliver some gold we're going to
29:35probably work our way up this valley probably all season hopefully uh you know the farther we go or
29:41the more that we run the better it looks guys i need you all to come meet me at the lay down here
29:48i want all of you there
30:05what's going on i got some news
30:17what's going on
30:37i got some news
30:39we got a water license on lower duncan really yes
30:46yeah yeah that's actually really good news got something for you guys
30:51we got the news today from the attorney they granted an extension until november 2025 we can go
31:12break ground vegas valley start draining it we can get gold from vegas valley this year was that a
31:16verified email the verified email yes yes yes we 100 percent have a water license a land use permit and
31:24everything at lower duncan in just four years rick's claim on lower duncan paid out nearly 6 000 ounces
31:32but after losing the water license he had to abandon it including a pay pile that could contain more than 1.4 million dollars in gold
31:43we've already got a pile up there ready to run and you know we can actually run that now
31:48so what does that mean for this deal
31:50well that's a good point because we can't just walk away from this
31:55i promised troy another 100 ounces to buy lightning creek
31:57i'm not just going to pull 100 ounces out of here and give it to troy and walk the away
32:01you know we've got to pull some serious gold out of here
32:03but this is really good news
32:06i don't even think you've seen the best out of vegas valley yet
32:09no and i'm hoping we haven't seen the best out of this
32:11yeah you know i think our future's really bright i've got a lot to figure out but we've got a water
32:15license and we are going back to vegas valley
32:17this is cause for celebration
32:19yeah guys all right
32:22you know in my head right now i'm very happy there's a lot going on right now it's like one
32:31extreme to the other right we had no water license now we've got a water license in two spots
32:35you know i want to just run to vegas valley i know the gold's there but i've got obligations on
32:39lightning creek you know i owe troy a hundred ounces you know that's that's a quarter million dollars so
32:42there's a lot to figure out but at the end of the day this is good news
32:45that's nice to be finally solution it's been a long time coming
33:06at paradise hill despite a lack of equipment mike is determined to prove to his dad that he can
33:15bring in the gold just careful not to overload it
33:20it's nice to get this going it's exactly what i wanted closer and closer every time
33:26oh
33:35close the bypass
33:45ah this is going to be a pain in the ass you know but that's got to get fixed before we can
33:51keep going
33:53i'm gonna lift this up take these off so i can get this little orange piece here and i can check the
33:58rubber
34:03if you hop in the excavator i'll wrap it around we'll just lift it
34:13yeah because these are coming off like butter
34:22my gasket's ripped completely yeah she ripped right apart my only two rubbers i got too small or
34:30weave it too big
34:35you can make that work though you know what i mean cut holes we're gonna have to around with this
34:46what we're gonna do is mark out all the holes and then we'll just push the bolt holes through
34:50then i'm gonna cut and yeah that ball will fit through it
35:03yeah there should be 12
35:04it's a little scabby but it'll work for the bush fix gasket to work it must form a tight seal
35:15between the two metal flanges a little bit more my weight there we go
35:19if we do this and it works it should last until forever
35:29hey that's my butt
35:34let her down
35:34that's tight this should all work
35:48okay
36:04hey colby hop on the wall let's get going
36:08finally uh getting this done but i'll be happy to get any gold so i'm gonna grab every ounce of gold i
36:13can out that dirt between me and colby we should be able to get this thing going
36:18this will be running for the rest of the season
36:30mike beats may be dreaming of his own klondike kingdom but there is already a crown he wears proud
36:39according to everyone i'm a king around so this should be nothing new
36:43so go chase the beaver
36:48you make me good
36:53so you guys leave you guys alone for what two minutes and then you're around again let's go
36:58nah it's around
37:13oh yeah nice glasses thanks man how are you no fire no it's too hot for that it's hot summer finally
37:27got here yeah it came fast it was a smart move to pivot from the diamond cut there's no way we can
37:32make a living off it and uh you know i like the spot that we moved to um it's definitely looking
37:37better um in every way there's boulders there yeah it is nicer material compared to that stuff that we
37:43just dug at the start of the diamond cut so we're on the right track yeah well i guess maybe we should uh weigh up the gold
37:49rick's rick's previous spot the diamond cut produced just 7.35 ounces now he's hoping the
37:59new boulder cut will deliver at least 30 ounces for its run time there count it out
38:05one two five seven eight nine ten twelve eighteen twenty twenty two twenty two point three five
38:24worth seventy eight thousand dollars definitely an improvement we gotta look at it that way three times better
38:33yeah i mean i obviously what that water license coming is huge um but a lot of decisions come with
38:40that you know there's a lot of pieces that have to fall in you know fall into place what's going
38:44through your head tough it out here i mean we're gonna have to go back to vegas valley i mean
38:51i want to and maybe at the end of the day this is just not the happening spot right here
38:55we can't abandon this place i did buy it but the one thing that i can say is that we can't afford to
39:03just shut this down while we're you know we got to take advantage of all the sluicing hours we can
39:07get how many gold ways do we say there can be improvement before we finally say we need to get
39:11our asses back to vegas valley at the end of the day i owe troy you know 100 ounces on this ground so
39:17we can't just walk away from it right now it's the only spot we're getting gold from does he care where
39:20the 100 ounces comes from because i'm telling you now you're going to get 100 ounces a lot quicker you do
39:25the math it doesn't make sense to hit 1800 ounces by the end of the season you know it's going to
39:29take a while to get vegas valley ready so the minute we're able to sluice down there we will go there
39:33that's a promise i think i think we should go there now well that's too bad i think there's gold here
39:42i hope you're right definitely the pressure's gonna be on man
39:49thanks guys i appreciate it yeah this gold way was better than last week but it's not as good as what
39:55lower duncan could be there could be 400 ounces in that pay pile so you know for us to try to
40:00reach 1800 ounces uh we need to be down there right away well the gold total for the week 22.3 ounces
40:06yeah three times is good but the exciting thing is we got the water license extension back on duncan
40:09creek so we go back to vegas valley which is huge news now everybody's just arguing on when they want
40:15to go there immediately but the timing's just not right you know it's going to take a few days to get
40:18that ready and i'm not willing to stop getting gold from lightning creek until until it is ready so we're
40:23gonna stick it out here and we'll be back in vegas valley soon
40:35hello hey guys hey guys how are you here how are you good yes good good have a seat
40:43i've been here pretty much all week sluicing around the early bird cut there doing very well
40:51actually i think busy stripping the corner cut so bingo actually quite well how about you guys
40:59yeah i said apparel yeah we uh did some old time entailings didn't we might as well sluice it sitting
41:05there oh really perfect anything you get is bonus i mean if the price is off the day rather than
41:11throwing it away that don't make no sense did it show anything well there's a little bit could
41:17i better count it quick i guess huh i'll pour slow there we're one two three four
41:25and a five and six and a seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fourteen point two eight
41:37worth nearly fifty thousand dollars it all adds up it all adds up i'm proud of you that is a good
41:45little venture so you want to see what comes from the indian okay what do we got so far the early bird cut

42:34bringing the beat season total to over 2300 ounces so that's not bad you said at the beginning of the
42:42season that there were some maybe some opportunities for mike as soon as you started getting gold out of
42:46the hill so what's happening with that no no no no no you gotta get the thrommel going that's where
42:53the real gold is going to come from that's all there's to it just go bring me some more
42:58okay see you later guys yep bye i do hope tony will honor what he said to mike because he's been
43:09working very hard to get this all sorted out so he should get them set up honestly mike really deserves
