00:22Hi.
00:23Hi.
00:24How are you?
00:26Oh.
00:32So, what's happening?
00:35So, Tony, we lost seven good people.
00:39Jacob, too.
00:41I left in the middle of the night,
00:43and they all went to Parker.
00:50I don't give a .
00:54Must be my shining personality.
00:56I guess so.
00:58They're a bunch of weasels.
01:00They can't tough it out.
01:02They did me a favor.
01:03They left all by themselves.
01:06My old Parker has a lot of fun with him.
01:08He can deal with it.
01:10Yeah.
01:12I'm actually happy.
01:13Yeah.
01:15You know, it's not going to stop us.
01:17I mean, the core group of us is still here.
01:21So, I guess no more days off for people.
01:26Okay.
01:27Let's get on with it.
01:28Let's get on with it.
01:28Come on.
01:28Come on.
01:28Let's get on with it.
01:28Let's go.
01:30To the end of the day, all right.
01:34Go on.
01:42Now.
01:43Let's go.
01:46Of course.
01:46You know, the ground is very, very high for some reason this year.
02:02After losing seven crew members, King of the Klondike, Tony Beetz, is forced to get his
02:11hands dirty to keep the gold flowing.
02:14As long as you get gold in the box, that's all that counts.
02:19To date, Tony's put $16 million in gold in the box.
02:25Just last week, he hit his biggest gold weigh of the season, 672 ounces, and he wants another
02:34mega-payday by the end of the week.
02:48Cousin Mike is running two wash plants in the 46-acre corner cut.
02:54At the north end is Tony's heavy hitter, Slusalot.
02:591,500 feet south sits his new million-dollar plant, Find-A-Lot.
03:07Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
03:09You're running right over the cone.
03:11But after the defection, cousin Mike's now left with inexperienced crew.
03:20It's not great.
03:21You've got to train people constantly.
03:25So this means more work for me.
03:32I just got on the excavator, loaded a sea slot.
03:37I'm enjoying myself.
03:41Without a seasoned operator to feed wash plant Slusalot, cousin Mike's given the job to Darian
03:48Dennis, who's been a gold miner for just one year.
03:52I'm from Jamaica originally.
03:54I'm actually taking a pilot course.
03:57Eventually, I want to fly for one of the big airlines.
04:02This is my opinion, the dream team.
04:04In the 350 loader, Megan Roberts clears tailings.
04:10We worked together last season.
04:12Both of us have, like, good attention to detail.
04:15Hard workers.
04:24Being up here is just, you know, a lot of responsibility, but like Spider-Man said, with great responsibility
04:32power or something like that, you know?
04:43Darian, do you copy Darian?
04:46Do you hear that?
04:54Is there something wrong with the plant?
04:59There's a noise that normally isn't there.
05:01It doesn't sound good.
05:03It doesn't sound good.
05:33It doesn't sound good.
05:55Pretty bad.
06:02We've got the feeder here.
06:04It pushes all the material onto the deck.
06:06And there's supposed to be a whole chunk of metal here, an impact bed.
06:10So, not only is this piece broken off, it's rattled through the plant.
06:17So, yeah.
06:18This is .
06:21You didn't hear it, eh?
06:23Yeah, that's what he says.
06:24Yeah.
06:27You can't tell me you didn't hear that.
06:30You're either not paying attention or you're full of .
06:33You're gonna send the operator to his room.
06:36Okay, okay.
06:40Pretty big **** up.
06:41Yeah.
07:08What the ****?
07:10Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:11No ****, no ****.
07:13We got cracks.
07:14Cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks.
07:16Slusalot's impact bed has fallen into the plant, smashing up the whole top shaker deck.
07:23Okay, so, what does the rest look like underneath that ****?
07:28Hey, Dolphin, move the **** forward.
07:30I'm moving.
07:30We'll get **** cozy over there.
07:32Yeah, we can cuddle.
07:33Oh!
07:36Remember, you're gonna be the girl.
07:38That's okay.
07:40Okay, I'm gonna turn around.
07:42Do you know what I like to have?
07:49That's never ending, huh?
07:51Yeah.
07:55Jeff Turnell.
07:57Okay, I'll take a picture and show it to him.
08:01On the call, Slusalot's manufacturer, Jeff Turnell.
08:06We'll do a video call.
08:08We'll do a video call.
08:08Here you go.
08:09Hey.
08:11How the **** do you do that?
08:12This is the speaker.
08:15How the **** do you turn the camera off?
08:17Okay, anyway, whatever.
08:19We'll send you a picture and I will call you right back.
08:21How's that?
08:22Here we go.
08:23That sounds great.
08:24Okay, bye.
08:27And a quack.
08:29And another.
08:31And another.
08:34There we go.
08:36Bing!
08:42Oh, hey, there you are.
08:44Did you get the pictures?
08:45I did, yes.
08:50To me, I think your best action is going to be taking that talk.
08:54The top deck out and replacing it.
08:56Holy ****.
08:58Making the hub deck ready to ship and ride it.
09:01Talk to you in a bit.
09:02Okay, bye.
09:03Yeah.
09:03Bye.
09:05Oh ****.
09:08We'd have to take the whole top off, right?
09:11Strip the **** apart.
09:13Maybe next time we'll hire somebody.
09:15We should give them a hearing test, I guess.
09:20Gentlemen, later.
09:22Okay.
09:27It's, uh, the main part of your plant really here.
09:30So it's basically like rebuilding the whole **** plant.
09:35It's, uh, it's going to be a big job.
09:38With the people leaving.
09:40And now downtime's losing.
09:42We don't have time for that ****.
09:45Ensure the thing is ****.
09:48Tony has been punched in the gut.
09:50They'll have to dismantle and rebuild the entire $21,000 top deck.
09:56With the downtime costing Tony over $190,000 a day in lost production.
10:04What a **** mess.
10:29I've been a lot more hands off this year.
10:32We've got four wash plants running, which is crazy.
10:35But we have a long ways to go.
10:3831-year-old Parker Schnabel's season is in danger of coming off track.
10:4414 weeks in, he's banked over $22 million in gold.
10:50But his numbers are slipping.
10:53Last week, he had his worst gold way yet.
10:57It's a little disheartening.
10:59It's a bit scary.
11:04Parker's spending $100,000 a day running four wash plants in an ever-expanding operation.
11:12At Kennan Stewart's, Roxanne has nearly mined out pit one.
11:17Now, Parker wants a second pit, twice the size, done by the end of the season.
11:23At Dominion, wash plant Bob has half the massive bridge cut still to mine.
11:29While Slucifer and Big Red are only a third of the way through the Golden Mile.
11:38Priority now is just keeping those wash plants running at all costs.
11:41So we always need a lot more people.
11:43We've been getting a lot of crew coming over from Tony's, which is nice and helpful for us.
11:48We treat them as good as we can. We pay them as well as we can.
11:55It wasn't very much fun working at Tony's.
11:58Always worried about what to do, what to say, all that.
12:01Whether you're going to get yelled at or whether Tony was in a good mood or not.
12:07Everyone's always in a good mood here.
12:09Way better place to work.
12:12The partners, it's more relaxed, stress-free.
12:15You know what you're doing.
12:19It's a little weird to hear please and thank yous all the time.
12:21Rather than somebody that's just been called a at 7.30 in the morning.
12:26When you compare to Tony Beetz, it's like he's on a very, very far, far end of a spectrum.
12:32In terms of how you treat people.
12:35That's fine. That's Tony's style. It's none of my business.
12:39But, you know, early years, I was terrible.
12:43I was a dick. But you live and learn, right?
12:53It definitely annoys me hiring all these new people.
12:56And they just come and get to run whatever piece of equipment they want.
13:02But the people that have been here a while are just kind of stuck where they are.
13:08It definitely, like, upsets people.
13:10Like, poor Evan has been working here for years.
13:14And he knows how to run a hoe, but yet they keep him still running a plant.
13:18Trying to think is bull .
13:20The new people come in and just get to do whatever they want, really.
13:27We've hired on quite a few new guys, and they used to work for Tony.
13:32The more help, the better over here.
13:34I'm not too sure what's going on over there.
13:37Foreman Tyson now has to get the new crew up to speed.
13:42Just got hired on at Parker Schnabel's mine site three days ago.
13:48It's way better here. It's awesome.
13:51Food's better. Camp's better. People are nice.
13:54You actually get appreciated for the work that you do.
13:58Tyson's handed the crucial role of feeding slucifer,
14:02one of two wash plants running side by side in the Golden Mile,
14:07to beat's defector, Rick Raymond.
14:11I wouldn't say I'm a pro or anything, but I know a certain amount.
14:16Enough to get stuff done.
14:19Rick loads pay into the hopper,
14:23which travels up the 120-foot super stacker
14:29into the wash plant.
14:34As long as you're doing your job and not screwing up,
14:37I think you're pretty good.
14:41Rick, you got a copy, Rick?
14:45Yeah, go ahead.
14:47Try and aim for the scent of the hopper,
14:48because a lot of the material is spilling over the back.
14:53Okay, sorry about that.
14:55You're all good, man.
15:19Oh, hey, I'm f***ing smoking.
15:25Super stacker's f***ing jammed up.
15:28Whoa.
15:51Holy f***.
15:54Stacker f***ed up.
15:55Started pouring dirt over.
15:57I just seen it over there.
15:58At Dominion Creek,
16:00slucifer's super stacker has jammed,
16:02causing the generator to surge and smoke,
16:06shutting down the plant on the watch of new hire, Rick.
16:10Rick, I guess he wasn't paying attention.
16:13It looks like it was running for a while,
16:14and the kid didn't notice.
16:18So now we got to go do a whole s*** pile of shoveling,
16:21trying to get this thing back up and washing rocks.
16:26We don't have time to be f***ing around
16:28and wasting on, you know, stupid s*** like this.
16:36I didn't see it happen.
16:38I just happened to look up, and it was plugged.
16:44Oh, f***.
16:45It looks like her super stacker quit.
16:47There was smoke coming out of this fox.
16:50Parker bought the super stacker earlier this season,
16:53with 20,000 hours already on the clock.
16:57She's got some electric gremlins for sure.
17:02She's going to be down for an hour.
17:04Just shoveling is a huge pain in the ass.
17:08That's a good thing Sean spotted the pile over when he did,
17:12because if he didn't, we'd be here for way longer than an hour.
17:18I'm sorry, I'm just f***ing talking out.
17:25Rick just isn't cutting it.
17:26He's, uh, I don't know what they did over at Beats there,
17:30but, uh, yeah, he's not really getting the program here with Sleucin,
17:34so I'm going to have to come up with something else.
17:38If you think you're good?
17:39Yeah.
17:41All right.
17:46Good for a test?
17:51Well, it looks like it's all there mechanically.
17:54Our power supplies are working, and everything's moving as it should.
18:00I think we're just going to fire up.
18:11Hey, Sean, how's it going, man?
18:12Good, buddy.
18:13Going to need to find something else for Rick to do.
18:15So do you mind jumping in a loader for us and feeding Sleucifer?
18:18Yeah, yeah, no problem, man.
18:36It looks like our super stacker's stacking for now.
18:40So this Sleucin is online, and that means we're making money.
18:44I'm really lucky I was here to see that and catch it at the right time.
18:48This isn't a little show that Tony's got going over there.
18:52This is where the big boys play.
19:17All right, let's take that steel out.
19:26Where is it jammed?
19:28Cousin Mike has the weight of Tony's operation on his shoulders.
19:33Short-handed after a load of crew defected to Parker's.
19:38He's battling to get Sleucelot back washing rocks for Tony after the catastrophic break of the top deck.
19:47Okay, one more like that.
20:02Yeah.
20:03Yeah.
20:05Piece of .
20:06A lot heavier than you think.
20:15On the other side of the cut, find-a-lot is now Tony's only working wash play.
20:30We're running some play dirt and we have some bedrock mixed up all together.
20:36So it's kind of a calculator resting.
20:39But we're all good.
20:41.
20:46Over millennia, gold sinks through gravel until it hits solid bedrock.
20:52Often, the richest pay streaks are found right above this impenetrable surface.
20:59But water can seep into hairline cracks and over time freeze and expand, causing fractures that fill with gold.
21:08Tony believes there's a bumper payday in the jagged bedrock.
21:16And is willing to risk the sharp rocks damaging his wash plan to get more ounces.
21:24We have a lot of bedrock pay dirt.
21:26So a lot of big rocks.
21:29Overseeing find-a-lot are BEATS veterans Eric Morel and his girlfriend Agnes Vijay.
21:37It's a bit stressful to be responsible.
21:40I'm not the only wash plan running right now.
21:42But, I mean, Tony trust us on it, so...
21:45I'm going to hire you.
21:52We've got a little tiny.
21:58For some people who are going to fill the water.
22:00In the beginning, there are a lot of boats here.
22:02I love this.
22:04I can still hold one.
22:04I can still hold the other boat ramping.
22:04I'm not the only wash planing in the house anymore.
22:05There's an open sewer pool I walking into the house.
22:05I don't know.
22:06I can still throw a little water on it.
22:06Even then, there's a long window, I'm not the help from the house.
22:10I'm not the only wash plan to get the whole field.
22:11So a lot of people who are going to wear the wash plan to get the ocean.
22:17There is, we need to shut down right now.
22:54At Indian River, Tony's only working wash plant, Find-A-Lot, is jammed with jagged bedrock.
23:03This is what happens when you wash bedrock.
23:07As you can see, it's sharp.
23:09If it doesn't roll, when two big pieces meet each other, they don't slide past each other, so that's what
23:16you get.
23:17Then the other rocks come in and it'll spill all over the place.
23:25Blue's a lot's not running, and now Find-A-Lot is down as well.
23:29So at the moment, the company is making no money.
23:32Both plants down means Tony's losing $16,000 an hour.
23:39We better get these rocks out of here and get at least these plants on the go.
23:45Good thing our operator was paying attention.
23:48The girl on the tailings paid attention.
23:50They shot the plant off quick.
23:52It could have been really bad.
23:54We really got to get her going.
24:02I'd say that's alright or what?
24:05Yeah, good enough.
24:07Looking good.
24:08Rocks are gone.
24:09Let's fire it back up.
24:10Commence that's yeah.
24:28Because the crew spotted the gem quickly, Find-A-Lot was down less than an hour.
24:34And Tony will soon find out if his gambler to run bedrock will deliver him a big payday.
24:42Washing rocks again, making some money again, at least with this plan.
24:49We'll move on, we'll go to sluice a lot and start getting that thing on the go too.
25:13Well Chris, how's the last run looking here?
25:16Oh, chunky.
25:17Nice.
25:19At Parker's Indian River Claim, Foreman Mitch Blaschke is making a pit stop as he transitions from pit one to
25:28pit two.
25:30We're just running out of days here, so my big concern is, is there actually any gold in it?
25:35There might be more, but that just, that one just stuck out to me.
25:39A nugget for good luck.
25:41Pit one has delivered just 500 ounces in four weeks.
25:46Now Mitch is in a race to get sluicing at pit two and increase Parker's weekly gold total.
25:54This wash plant move needs to be the fastest one that we've done this season.
26:05All righty, time for moving Roxanne.
26:09So Sean, you can have that road done and ready by the time we get there with the wash plant
26:13parts.
26:14We need to have this thing back up and running by the end of the day for night shift.
26:17So it's a lot to do, but I think we can make her happen.
26:20All right, let's do it.
26:24At the Indian River, Mitch and his crew spent four weeks mining out the eight acre pit one.
26:31Now Mitch needs to break up Roxanne, ready to move to a new pad three quarters of a mile away
26:38in the new 15 acre pit two.
26:41But first, Sean needs to finish building the road that connects the two pads.
26:49Once he's done, Mitch can haul Roxanne to its new home and get sluicing by the end of the day.
27:04Normally this is all stuff we'd have done, have it ready and prepped.
27:08Just being shorthanded, this is kind of a pain in the ass.
27:16So just try and pull it out and towards me a little bit here.
27:26First time I've ever done anything like this.
27:32I feel like it's putting some trust on me to be able to do this.
27:38It's nice to see.
27:39After four years running truck and loader,
27:43Parker's trialing Evan Kurtz on excavator.
27:46His first task?
27:48Drag Slucifer's twin sluice runs onto the low boy.
27:52I kind of know what I'm doing, but I also don't really know what the **** I'm doing.
27:57Ooh, that's close.
27:58So I'm a little nervous.
28:00That's real easy.
28:03We couldn't have cut that any tighter.
28:06Yeah, buddy, nice and easy.
28:09The 20 foot runs must be dead center on the trailer bed, or they risk tipping off the sign.
28:16Yeah, going pretty smoothly here.
28:20Keep going, keep going.
28:24Yep, missed it.
28:27One more then.
28:30Perfect stop.
28:32Nice job, man.
28:35Look at you go.
28:37That's so much just anxiety.
28:46All righty, let's get it rolling.
28:50So we got everything loaded up, chained down.
29:17Oh, man.
29:21That's not good.
29:29We're not going to be making it down.
29:40So you can see here just how soft this is.
29:43We get this truck on here with all the weight of the wash plant.
29:45I think we're going to get ourselves hung up.
29:48So I got a giant roadblock from where I'm at to where I got to be.
30:03Oh, man.
30:04Yeah.
30:05At Ken and Stewart's, Sean's unfinished road has thrown a curve ball at Mitch's plan to be up and running
30:13by night shift.
30:15I was hoping it would be a bit further along than this.
30:19Just under the other end there, I just had to give it a quick back drag back, smooth it out.
30:24After you get over 100,000 pounds up on this, then we're just going to be sinking right up to
30:30the axles.
30:31We got to try and get this compacted, like, not just do we need it flat, but it's got to
30:35be firm, you know?
30:36Yeah.
30:39Yeah, we got to do something about this.
30:41We're just burning time.
30:47Trying my best to get her done as soon as I could, but obviously it wasn't quick enough.
30:56Let's go get them.
31:04There is no way that semi would make it through this road right now.
31:10Alongside Sean's D10 dozer, Mitch brings in the loader, rock truck, and 480 excavator, using the weight of the machines
31:20to compact the top layer of sand.
31:23We got all hands on deck trying to get this road finished so we can get this plant where it
31:27needs to go and assembled.
31:29It's all about getting that plant shaking and getting that gold.
31:34So you can see here from running the trucks on it, just the difference this has made, how much compaction
31:39there is now.
31:40So we should be good to go here. We're going to try and roll across it.
31:47All right, here we go. We're going to take it right down the middle here.
31:54Come on, baby. We got some sluicing to do.
32:02Yeah, buddy. All right, buddy. Go for it.
32:08We're going to go all the way to the edge.
32:10Keep going. Keep going.
32:13That'll do it.
32:14We got our sluice runs where we want them. It's time to grab the shaker deck.
32:24We can run out of real estate.
32:29I might be good there.
32:32Right on, buddy.
32:35We're going to go back, get the feeder, hook up the water line, and this baby should be running by
32:39the end of the day.
32:49Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. You're good there.
32:54Yeah, there we go.
32:59Nice job, buddy.
33:00Thank you, sir.
33:01You know, you're really, really stepping up.
33:04Sweet.
33:07We got a pile of pay over there. It's time to turn into some gold.
33:11All right, here we go.
33:14There we go.
33:18Okay, Sean, send me some water, buddy.
33:26What do you think, Evan? You ready to put some dirt in this thing?
33:31Here we go.
33:39We are back sluicing.
33:44Just in time for night shift, Mitch and the crew are sluicing pit two with all eyes on the new
33:51pit to pay out.
33:53How's it going, man?
33:54Good. How are you?
33:55Not too bad.
33:58You guys got her moved in a hurry. Mainly just the two of you and Sean?
34:02Yeah, pretty much.
34:03Dude, you guys are smashing it.
34:27Tony's plans for another monster week on the gold.
34:29Yeah.
34:31Tony's plans for another monster week on the gold.
34:35The gold are falling apart.
34:36He's lost crew to Parker.
34:39His main plant at Indian River is down.
34:42Now, he's checking in with son Mike, who's been trying to get the trommel running all season.
34:49Now, where the is the arrow on this thing?
34:52It's right over there.
34:53Last week, Mike dug a feeder pond and installed a pump.
34:58But despite his best efforts, the trommel still isn't turning.
35:03He's got problems with his water pipes.
35:06Go quickly build a pipe. It don't take much, okay?
35:09Steal it.
35:10Whatever it takes.
35:10Get on it.
35:11I want it done.
35:12Make some money for .
35:15Okay?
35:17Yeah.
35:17Okay.
35:21One way or another, the things are going to have to run.
35:31Forty miles away, Sluicealot's been out of action for five days.
35:37But the new top deck has finally arrived.
35:41Now, cousin Mike must remove the old one before installing the new frame.
35:47An epic task, which will cost him another whole day of sluicing.
35:54Keith is going to cut the deck in half.
35:57Then we'll give it a pull with a crane.
35:59Yank it out.
36:02Yeah.
36:11The longer we take, the more money it costs.
36:15So we better hurry up.
36:28Oh, yeah.
36:30There's a lot of torque.
36:36Woo!
36:39Nice.
36:49Oh, yeah.
36:50That's what we were looking for.
36:53Hopefully, our new deck goes in as easy as this one come out.
37:00We'll take these side plates out, and then we'll put the new deck in from the top.
37:09You almost broke it out.
37:11You should do a little more gentle.
37:18Let's all hold it.
37:19Yeah.
37:20Whoa!
37:23Okay.
37:28Right there?
37:29A little bit more.
37:32It's going to be close.
37:35Yeah, I think more my way.
37:37Okay, we're on the frame over here.
37:40Oh, .
37:43Yeah.
37:45I didn't think of that one.
37:49Okay, come-alongs.
37:50Come-alongs.
37:54If it doesn't fit, we got the manifold in the way.
37:58So now we got to let one side down to get underneath the frame there.
38:04But at the same time, we got to get underneath the spray bars on the side.
38:07So we're going to have to have one corner up and three corners down.
38:12So that's where the come-alongs come in.
38:14Cousin Mike uses hand-operated winches, or come-alongs, positioned to allow the crew to precisely raise or lower each
38:25corner.
38:27Whoo!
38:32Oh, yeah.
38:34Okay.
38:35Okay.
38:35There we go.
38:37We're in there now.
38:39Feels good, doesn't it?
38:41Yeah, it does.
38:44Okay, so it's going to come my way and down.
38:49Okay, whoa.
38:52That's it.
38:53Looks good.
38:54Whoo!
38:56Whoo!
38:57Yay!
38:59Last job, secure the deck and put new screens in.
39:05There we go.
39:08The new shaker deck is in, so we better get this plant fired up and back to sluicing.
39:17It's cost them six days of sluicing and over a million dollars in lost gold production.
39:24Okay, off we go.
39:26But Tony's Indian River wash plants are back on the gold.
39:32I'm glad I'm still in the excavator feeding this plant because people have been fired for less, you know?
39:38Let's get that gold, man.
39:41Finally, we're losing.
39:43Whoo!
39:48Awesome.
39:48That went all right.
39:50This should be good to the end of the season now.
39:52I would say so.
39:54Well, that's slick, man.
39:55Nice to see the ball run.
39:56Thanks.
39:57That's awesome.
39:57No problem.
39:58Perfect.
39:59Well, we lost some people.
40:01You know, it's gonna work out just nice.
40:23Hi, guys.
40:24Hello.
40:26Hello.
40:27Hi.
40:30He didn't bring a big tray.
40:32Oh, there it is.
40:33You guys need a fly light in here because holy .
40:35Yeah, it's pretty bad.
40:37Yeah, look at that.
40:39Maybe he says I was yelling.
40:40Yeah, they don't bother us.
40:48So, I hear you need new employees.
40:50We wear them out, Mike.
40:52Yeah.
40:52Some last an hour, some last a day, some last a week.
40:55Some actually last a little longer, which is kind of nice because it's a lot less paperwork.
40:59But now we at least know where the rejects go, right?
41:02Yeah.
41:02The parkers.
41:04But they come and they go.
41:06Yeah, anyways, it's all good.
41:07I don't give a rat's ass.
41:08Next.
41:10I heard Slusselot was down for a big part of the week.
41:13Yeah.
41:14A big chunk out of the top deck broke off.
41:17It's not too bad.
41:18Got it fixed, right?
41:19How's the trommel doing?
41:23Okay.
41:24Anyways, you guys only ran for about 24 hours after you fixed it?
41:2824 hours for this week.
41:30Yeah.
41:31Okay.
41:31Let's see what we got.
41:33From its seven-day run last week, Slusselot scored over 330 ounces.
41:39But this week, the plant ran for just 24 hours.
41:465, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.
42:0245.48.
42:05Worth $159,000.
42:08That kind of hurts a little.
42:10Whining about it don't make it any better.
42:13Well, this one's very full.
42:16Who wants to count?
42:18It's Michael, Miguel, brother mine.
42:20I don't have my glasses with me.
42:21Keep forgetting that you have glasses now.
42:23You have glasses?
42:24He's looking very sophisticated.
42:27Are you ready?
42:3110, 20.
42:33All week, Wash Plant Find-A-Lot ran bedrock,
42:37which Tony's gambling will deliver over 200 ounces.
42:42140, 150, 160, 170, 180.
42:54237.68.
42:58Worth over $830,000.
43:03Perfect.
43:04I'm happy with that.
43:05All I know is that this price, we're not going to leave anything behind.
43:08That's all stood.
43:09It's true, Dad.
43:12This week's gold takes Tony to a season total of 4,894 ounces,
43:19worth over $17 million.
43:24Why don't you guys bring all this stuff away, and then you and I can go back to the hill.
43:30Yeah, why don't you get out?
43:31Are you talking to me?
43:33No.
43:34Bye, children.
43:35Bye.
43:36Goodbye.
43:54Hi.
43:56What?
43:59Any single person, like not even on this mine site, anybody, could like give him a treat, let him in
44:06their vehicle,
44:07and he would just become their dog.
44:08You got food?
44:09Okay.
44:09Yeah.
44:12Let's do it.
44:14Come on.
44:15Lay down.
44:17He's like, I don't want to do that.
44:20Got to be on his timeline.
44:21Yeah.
44:23So you've got a bunch of like new Tony guys.
44:26Yeah.
44:27Some of them are hella nervous.
44:29They are like beaten dogs.
44:31They're all doing really good.
44:33But we had Rick running Sluisifer there and he didn't notice a pileup in Sluisifer
44:37and luckily Sean was there and jumped into action.
44:40Who's Rick?
44:41He's gone.
44:43You don't work here no more.
44:46No.
44:48Well, Dumit, shall we see what we did?
44:50Yeah, we could do that.
44:52Recent gold waves from all four plants totaled in the 400s.
44:58Now, Parker's looking to get back to 550 ounces or more.
45:04Mitch, we're going to start with Roxanne because you guys had a plant move.
45:07Last of the old cut.
45:09All right, let's see what Roxanne did here.
45:12We got 20.
45:13Last week, Ken and Stewart's pit one got 100 ounces.
45:1870.
45:2276.3.
45:24Worth over $260,000.
45:29That's the last of cut one.
45:31That's the end of it.
45:33Okay, Tyson, we got big Bob here.
45:35All righty, let's see how Bob did in the bridge cut.
45:4010.
45:41This season, in Dominion Creek's bridge cut, Bob has averaged nearly 160 ounces a week.
45:49100, 110, 120.7.
45:57Worth $422,000.
46:01It's not bad.
46:02Not bad.
46:03Not bad.
46:03You're in three digits.
46:04Can't argue.
46:05Yeah.
46:07And then the golden mile.
46:09All righty.
46:10Let's see how two wash plants did together.
46:12Last week, Slucifer and Big Red delivered 247 ounces.
46:2020, 40, 80, 160, 200, 236.4.
46:35Worth over $820,000.
46:41Nice.
46:42Yeah.
46:42It's not bad.
46:44Last week, we had 453 ounces on the nose.
46:49This week, it's 433.4.
46:55Parker's numbers have dropped now for the second week in a row.
46:59And with Parker spending close to a million dollars a week, he can't afford for it to slide anymore.
47:06Oh.
47:07Things have definitely slowed down since the beginning of the season.
47:11We started really good, and we're kind of going downhill.
47:16We need somehow to pick that back up and get back on schedule.
47:21He's telling you guys to find better ground.
47:24Well, I'm trying to do it nicely.
47:27It's too late for that.
47:30Okay.
47:31Our season total, 6,742.3.
47:41All right.
47:42Thanks, Matt.
47:43All right, gentlemen.
47:43Later.
47:43Have a good look.
47:44Thanks, Chris.
47:45You bet.
47:45Come on, Bosco.
47:47It's dinner time.
47:50This week, numbers have gone down again, and we really need to step it up.
47:55Good plants, good people, hopefully some good ground.
47:59Then we'll make it.
