I saw a few bones in the PayPal.
Out of a mammoth tusk?
Rib bone, I think.
Right? Rib bone?
I don't know.
Yeah, so things are going really well so far. You know, we're, like, coming out
of the gate, moving, and...
We're over 2 ,000 ounces, but I'm waiting for something to go massively
because things don't go this smoothly for very long.
Six weeks into the season, 30 -year -old Parker Schnabel's plan to mine more
than $35 million in gold is right on schedule.
Tyson is being an animal this year. He's done over 1 ,500 ounces already here on
Dominion. And then Mitch is doing a really good job over at Sulphur.
Hopper had over a 350 -ounce cleanup last week, and that's crazy.
Parker's plan includes squeezing every ounce he can out of his Sulphur Creek
claim, where foreman Mitch Blaschke has been hunting for gold -rich pockets the
old -timers missed.
You know, it's been full throttle since the beginning of the season here in
Sulphur, trying to get all the work done before the water license expires. Just
want to make sure that we get what's ours and don't leave anything behind.
Mitch is down to just three weeks to get it all done.
Making the job harder, his top dirt mover, Brennan Rule, was recently sent
open ground at their next claim.
Right now we're threading a bunch of needles with Brandon trying to have the
Indian River ready, Mitch trying to have sulfur done before the water life
expires. We need to get the whole project done, reclaimed, and be out.
How's it going?
Good.
How are you? Doing well.
Yeah. Nice to be getting to the close of this one. We can start the next
project. Yeah.
Holy, that's a hole.
Wow.
Very muddy hole.
Nobody's done any panning in here, I'm guessing.
Not on this upper section.
We were trying to get it out as fast as we could, get her to the plant.
Right. Well, I'll pan some of this, just out of curiosity.
All right, well, let's see what we've got.
Smoke. That's a hell of a pan. Must be 100 pieces of gold in there.
Wow. Yeah.
That's pretty wild.
What do you think?
It's worth staying here a little longer and getting that last little bit of pay.
There's gold there, and that's what we're here for.
We got a lot of sluicing to do already this year. There's a lot of sluicing to
do. Always turns into a lot bigger project than we think, doesn't it?
I want to stand up there and look at it.
How far does that go?
Straight to this tree right here.
That's probably where I would go to.
You know, it's going to be tight. I could just have, like, Brennan come over
here. That's the best chance that you've got at getting the pay down here in
time and getting it ran.
That'd be sweet.
All right, I'll keep you updated.
Over the last six weeks, Mitch has dug out all the pay pockets of the two -acre
cut and is sluicing the last of its stockpiled pay.
But Parker believes the old -timer's dredge missed even more gold and thinks
pay streak extends up to the road.
He wants Mitch to expand the cut by another two acres and sluice all of its
before... The water license runs out.
If Parker's move pays off, he could bank another 500 ounces worth
$1 .75 million.
just when we thought sulfur here was coming to a close in typical Parker
fashion. Now he's saying, you know, hey, I want even more dirt out of there.
We're pushing this project all the way to its absolute limit.
So I'm just hoping we can get everything done here in sluice, but it's just
messing with our timeline.
Brother!
All right, the cavalry's here. We can certainly use the help. Woo!
We're here, happy to help, man.
To give Mitch a fighting chance, Parker has sent in the big gun.
So we've got five trucks, two excavators, and the loader feeding the
We're on a hot streak right now. Let's stay with it, finish it off, and get
every speck of gold we can get out of here.
You know, everything up here is risk over reward.
And right now, the risk is we got ourselves a lot of dirt to move here and
much time. But Parker thinks it's worth the reward.
First gold weight of the year.
You're always hoping for a good one, right? It can kind of set the pace for
rest of the year.
We had the opposite of that.
A hundred miles away, Rick Ness is still trying to recover from a major setback
after failing to obtain the water license needed to mine his gold -rich
Creek claim.
The diamond cut on his new claim at Lightning Creek delivered just seven
We're always in a race against time, but we start having gold waves like that,
it just becomes even more and more serious.
There's no way we can make money off of that, but that doesn't mean that we can
just call it quits here.
Rick now finds himself in deep water.
He's had to shut down wash plant Rocky, but has just one week to pay landowner
Troy Taylor 100 ounces to complete his purchase of Lightning Creek.
We've got to move on. We've got to strip some new ground. We've already started
that. We've moved up the valley. We've just got to pivot and pivot quick.
We're late to the game this season, so we had to come into this location.
It's definitely not as good ground as Vegas Valley.
Hopefully we can get gold out of here to at least pay the bills.
Everyone's getting pretty beat down. When you see low numbers and no gold
in, it doesn't feel too good.
It's definitely getting a little stressful, you know, behind the gun
we're going to shift over here and change the odds.
Hopefully start running some pay dirt soon.
This is definitely the beginning of working our way up the valley for sure.
You know, we need as much uncovered as we can, but pretty much it's just going
to be trial and error.
We want to make sure that, you know, this is going to be good pay and not
garbage. Rick's going to come down and figure out what he wants me to do moving
forward.
Look at it.
What you thinking, Bailey?
It's like bedrock right there.
And then it goes to sand.
Obviously, you don't want sand, but... Interesting.
There's no telling what this bedrock might do. You probably just have to
it. Yes.
Some of that along the bank looks like pay.
Okay. But there's a spot right there with a bigger rock.
Look at that big rock right there.
That's what we want to see.
Nice.
Do you want that top, gravelly stuff?
I think so.
Yeah, I would say that's the stuff we run.
Bigger rocks should mean bigger deposits of gold.
Over 150 ,000 years ago, a giant glacier eroded and picked up gold
from the Mount Hinton Motherlode.
A massive ice sheet bulldozed down the valley.
tearing up the landscape.
When the ice melted, the gold settled in scattered pockets with the heavy rocks
and boulders.
I like it. Get the plant running. That'd be great.
You call this the boulder cut?
Cool. Hopefully it's got gold in it. Thanks, man.
Yep.
Bailey's getting on it right here. Doing a good job of getting it stripped off.
There's a lot more bigger boulders and stuff in that ground. It just looks more
promising, so I've got a good feeling about that.
We're all pretty excited to run this stuff.
We'll get this fired up, and we'll start pounding dirt through it.
pay to the plant let's pay there jeffy looks uh you know a lot better than uh
the diamond cut you know there is big rocks in here i'm hoping it's going to
really good
something
going on with the bucket it's not feeling proper it doesn't have any
trying to curl right now
Hey, Ryan, you got a copy, man?
Go ahead, baby.
Yeah, something's wrong with the 750 for sure.
Okay. All right, man, give me just a minute and I'll be over.
Hopefully, Ryan can get down here and figure out what's going on because this
our main machine. That's the only thing that we got down here that can load rock
trucks quick enough. So right now, we're on a standstill.
We've got issues with 750 right now.
I've probably got a couple more hours worth of pay here.
If there's no pay as is planned, there's no gold in the box. So it's pretty
crucial to have that thing back up and running.
At Lightning Creek, the Neskruz 750 excavator has gone down, preventing them
from digging pay dirt from the new boulder cuts.
I'd zip that plate off. Let's make as much room as we can. I'll get in there
I'll crack it open.
All right.
Way here.
All righty. Okay.
We've got a pilot hose over here that comes from the back main pump and goes
the way up just underneath the cab that's chafing pretty bad.
The 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.
The bucket is then forced to retract when the cylinder is injected with
hydraulic fluid by a second hose.
Ryan has discovered this hose has a leak in the body of the excavator near the
pump.
He plans to disconnect the hose and remove it, then replace it with a new
restoring the hydraulic system's full pressure.
allowing the bucket to once again hold six yards of boulder pay dirt with each
scoop.
Right here? Yeah, go ahead.
Oh yeah, you're good.
Look at this.
Yeah, right there.
So, this will get us going, get us back in the pay, and keep things rolling.
All right, got it all zip -tied up.
Gonna get our bottom plates on, get our top plate mounted back, and Bailey will
be back at it.
Oh, baby.
All right, bottom side good.
There you go. Perfect.
Hey, Bailey, 756.
We've got the 750 up and running again, which is awesome.
We've got three trucks.
We've got to hurry up here and get that pay to the plant.
I really need this to work out. We all need this to work out. This is our spot
for the summer, and we need to get some gold out of it. I'm not going to sleep
well until I get a whole run out of this ground. If it doesn't start showing us
gold, well, what good is it?
I'm not full panic mode.
But I definitely got my hand over the panic button.
So far the season went pretty good.
So I'm happy, happy as they say.
A month and a half into his season, King of the Klondike, Tony Beef, is cashing
in on his early bird cut.
He's already banked over 1 ,800 ounces of his
6 ,500 -ounce target and is now opening the corner cut.
to get down to play.
But we should have plenty of time to get it all set up and do some serious
listening. The minute we'll figure it out, voila.
But Mike, when he has his trommel going, well, then we'll just see what we can
pull off.
Forty miles away, on Paradise Hill.
Pretty busy right now.
Here at Mike's shipping department.
Turn my way a bit.
So we got the next one.
I'm told to get this organized. I'm told to get this ready. I'm told to get this
going. This is all Indians River.
I'm just a delivery boy.
Problem's not going to happen anytime soon at this rate.
You want the gold? My dad's going to have to leave me alone and let me do it.
At the start of the season, you gave Kevin a bunch of help getting him going.
So is there anything you're going to help us with?
Tony's youngest son, Mike, made a case.
for his own claim.
There's some opportunities out there. Let's get these two places here going
first, and then we'll talk.
Tony tasked Mike with getting their Paradise Hill operation running.
But two weeks ago... I don't know what the f*** is going on. Tony stole half of
his equipment and crew.
If you don't like it, I guess that sucks to be him.
You try to take all my people and then expect me to still run the hill?
Now. Mike's Paradise Hill trommel still fits idle, and he has no gold coming
in.
Hey, what's going on?
What's the problem?
Right now I'm at equipment I can do one project at a time. I can loose, I can
strip. I do not have enough to do both, which means I'm going to be able to run
the trommel here.
You will not.
You know Tony's train of thought, right?
The Indian is the only thing that's producing right now, so that's what he
to focus on.
There's a little bit of worry that he takes your equipment.
Why can't I start taking it back?
That would go over really well. You and I both know that, so that's not going to
happen.
So what are you going to do now? Do you have a plan B?
We have a Harold, a nice plant to send down in Hester.
Basically stupid proof.
Just got to refuse some pipe, hook it up to the pump, test the pump.
And then I just got to get an excavator and a loader down there, and I could be
sleuthing. That's great.
How would you feel to just have your own claim, just your stuff, no interference
with your father, like Kevin?
I would like it. It would be fun.
You think that's going to happen?
No. He's too busy out there.
Want to have a little wager?
Ten bucks, I say it will.
We can also take 20 bucks.
You're scared?
20 bucks.
With that being said, I do think you have to go back to work.
I'll see you later.
Mike got a little bit rough end of the deal here because he doesn't have all
people and all the equipment.
But it's just the way Tony is.
He focuses on what's right in front of him.
not what's 60 miles down the road.
Mike plans to use what little equipment Tony left behind to make a quick score
by sluicing a pile of old -timer tailings that he believes are rich in
But first, he has to connect the water supply to wash plant Harold.
So I'm going to be testing out our new fusing machine here. Without no water,
you ain't sluicing at all.
If Mike can fit through, the pipe will fit.
Spread your wings and fly, Mike.
It works.
Right now we lift up the pipe so I can line it up.
My way.
Stop. I just lined them up. I'm tightening them up now.
I'm waiting for the heating pad to warm up.
Put it in there? Yep. Okay.
That melts the pipe, so that when I push it together, it fuses.
Get ready.
There you go.
It's working.
I heard thunder.
Pull the tongue, bring it over here.
Now it's raining pretty good.
Hold it up!
Try to cover it so it doesn't get pissed on rain.
If rain gets into the melted junction, air bubbles will form, and the fuse will
burst under high water pressure.
If we don't get this fuse together, I ain't getting no water to Harold.
Yeah, it'll be good.
The rain seems to be stopping. You guys can take it off.
Before Mike can test if the fuses will hold, he needs to connect the pipe to
pump across the creek.
Lift it up in the air.
Yeah, looking good.
Excellent. That's good, Zach.
Pull it in.
Cut! Next step is to put the suction in.
Chain this up. Try not to get hit in the face with a bucket because it's not on
my bucket list to do.
Pipes are all hooked up, fused together.
All I have to do is test fire the pump, make sure everything's working good.
Enough water. That's good.
Lovely. I love it.
I'm firing up.
Everything's working.
First scoop into Harold. Here we go.
For the first time this season, Mike is on the go.
Nice to finally get this thing going.
Got it there.
It was brutal. There's no way we would have made this happen without the trucks
and the extra help up here.
But we are finally down to pay, and we're going to load that in the trucks
haul it down to Roxanne.
At Sulphur Creek, Mitch Blaschke has hit pay in the first section of the new two
-acre extension.
Now, his crew is in a race to sloop it all before the water license runs out in
less than three weeks.
Holy...
Loader operator Sean Holcroft is feeding the new pay through wash plant Roxanne.
Parker, he's got some deadlines going, so we really got to bust our balls here
and get moving. I got this old 220 loader, things a little ancient.
Still able to wash rocks with the plant, but she's a bit of a rough ride.
I 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.
It's pretty awesome to have this opportunity.
I really love it.
I don't know what's going on with this thing.
Looks like it's got brakes locking up.
Let's take half load.
Oh.
Gainful, man.
Getting a little hydraulic oil born in here.
Yeah, Mitch, it's 220 here. It's up real bad. I guess they got no power, barely
making it up this ramp.
There's no way I'm going to be able to keep up with this, even at 100 yards an
hour.
This is not what we need right now.
Unfortunately, with 220 being down right now, we're going to shut Roxanne down.
Shutting down Roxanne could mean losing.
Over $8 ,000 an hour.
Parker has all these ambitions and things he wants us to do this season,
got one old loader out here, and right now we're not sleuthing.
To fix the loader, Mitch calls in mechanic Taylor Matejka.
I've got an alarm for low hydraulic oil. You can see there's nothing in the
sight glass.
With the machine running, the transmission oil was way high.
It should be at the bottom of the sight glass here.
We're way over full.
So what caused this is the parking brake.
And it's got a piston inside with seals that release the parking brake. These
seals have failed and the parking brake is dragging and it's filling the
transmission with hydraulic oil.
I'm just going to pull the drain plug on the transmission here and we'll let her
box.
Hopefully it's just the seals, but if a piece got between the piston and the
housing, we might have a piston, and that's going to be a huge problem.
The 220 loader's parking brake is spring -loaded and controlled by hydraulic
pressure.
To access the brake, Taylor refers cages by using three bolts that compress the
spring, releasing the brake and securing the piston to the brake cover.
We will then remove the 16 bolts that hold the cover in place and lift off the
caged parking brake piston.
Taylor can then remove and replace the damaged seals before reinstalling the
brake, uncaging the springs, and refilling the hydraulic oil, allowing
parking brake to function properly.
We're just buzzing the parking brake out here. We've got it caged with these
three bolts.
there 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 down loader you can see here there's no
real damage to the piston but the parking brake seal is completely we need
replace it sean was right to give me a shout right away we'll swap the seals
and put this thing back together let's get started we'll peel these seals off
We're at the assembly stage now, just putting these seals in.
Hey, Taylor, you got a copy, Taylor?
Yeah, go ahead.
How's it going over there, man?
We're putting new seals in the parking brake right now. Thank God it was just
the seals and we had them in stock. Give us about an hour and a half, two hours,
and this thing will be up and running.
All right, man. We'll be ready for it.
Mitch is chomping at the bit to get this thing up and running, and it's just,
you know, race against time to get this thing back together.
It's all good.
Fill it with transmission oil.
We can be back to making money.
Transmission's full.
Parking brake's reassembled, refilled.
Everything's hooked up.
Lay down.
Good boy.
We're going to take it down to Sean so they can go fire up rock done.
Yeah, buddy.
Thanks, man. Five hours after shutting down and $40 ,000 of gold production
lost, Roxanne is back in the game.
Washing rocks, Roxanne shaking, getting that gold.
We got Roxanne on a good clip here. It's loosening along very nicely. We're
pushing this project here at Sulphur all the way to its absolute limit.
We're getting through it, but...
We're not out of the woods yet.
We understand we're not mining Vegas Valley. It's different. It's up for us
prove that there is something here.
It's going to be nonstop.
It's not going to be an easy season.
I think this will be our toughest season with Rick.
Rick's crew is loosing pay dirt from the new boulder cut, which they hope will
finally deliver some gold.
We're going to probably work our way up this valley probably all season.
Hopefully, the farther we go or the more that we run, the better it looks.
What's going on?
I got some news.
What's going on?
I got some news.
We got a water license on Lord Duncan.
Really? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's actually really good news.
Got something for you guys.
We got the news today from the attorney. They granted an extension until
November 2025.
We can go break ground in Vegas Valley, start draining it. We can get gold from
Vegas Valley this year. Was that a verified email?
A verified email, yes. We 100 % have a water license, a land use permit, and
everything at Lower Duncan.
In just four years, Rick's claim on Lower Duncan paid out nearly 6 ,000
But after losing the water license, he had to abandon it.
including a pay pile that could contain more than $1 .4 million in gold.
We already got a pile up there ready to run, and, you know, we can actually run
that now. So what does that mean for this deal?
Well, that's a good point because we can't just walk away from this. I
Troy another 100 ounces to buy Lightning Creek.
I'm not just going to pull 100 ounces out of here and give it to Troy and walk
the f*** away.
You know, we've got to pull some serious gold out of here.
But this is really good news.
I don't even think you've seen the best out of Vegas Valley yet. No, and I'm
hoping we haven't seen the best out of this. You know, I think our future is
really bright.
I've got a lot to figure out, but we've got a water license that we are going
back to Vegas Valley.
This is cause for celebration.
Yeah. All right, guys.
All right.
You know, in my head right now, I'm very happy. There's a lot going on right
now. It's like one extreme to the other, right? We had no water license. Now
we've got a water license in two spots, you know.
I want to just run to Vegas Valley. I know the gold's there, but I've got
obligations on Lightning Creek. You know, I owe Troy 100 ounces. You know,
that's a quarter million dollars. So there's a lot to figure out, but at the
of the day, this is good news.
It's nice to be finally solution.
It's been a long time coming.
At Paradise Hill, despite a lack of equipment, Mike is determined to prove
his dad that he can bring in the gold.
Be careful not to overload it.
It's nice to get this going. It's exactly what I wanted. Closer and closer
time.
Hold the bypass.
Ugh.
This is going to be a pain in the ass.
Yeah, but that's got to get fixed before we can keep going.
I'm going to lift this up, take these off so I can get this little orange
here, and I can check the rubber.
If you open the excavator, I'll wrap it around. We'll just lift it.
Yeah, because these are coming off like butter.
My gas gets ripped completely.
Yeah, she ripped right apart.
My only two rubbers I got are too small or even too big.
You can make that work, though. You know what I mean?
Cut holes.
We're going to have to around with it.
What we're going to do is mark out all the holes, and then we'll just push the
bolt holes through.
Then I'm going to cut, and yeah, the bolt will fit through it.
Yeah, there should be 12.
A little scabby, but it'll work.
For the bush pick gasket to work, it must form a tight seal between the two
metal flanges.
A little bit more on my way. There we go.
If we do this and it works, it should last and hold forever.
Hey, that's my butt.
Let her down.
That's tight.
This should all work.
Finally getting this done.
My dad would be happy to get any gold. So I'm going to grab every ounce of gold
I can out of that dirt.
Between me and Colby, we should be able to get this thing going.
This will be running for the rest of the season.
Mike Beetz may be dreaming of his own Klondike kingdom.
But there is already a crown.
He wears proud.
According to everyone, I'm the king of crowns, and this should be nothing new.
Go chase the beaver.
You make me... I leave you guys alone for, what,
two minutes, and then you're crowned again?
Let's go.
Ah, it's...
Thanks, man.
How are you? No fire?
No, too hot for that.
It's hot.
Summer finally got here. Yeah, it came fast.
It was a smart move to pivot from a diamond cut. There's no way we can make
living off it.
I like the spot that we moved to.
It's definitely looking better in every way. There's boulders there. Yeah, it is
nicer material compared to that stuff that we just dug at the start of the
diamond cut.
So we're on the right track. Yeah.
Well, I guess maybe we should weigh up the gold.
Rick's previous spot, the diamond cut, produced just 7 .35 ounces.
Now, he's hoping the new boulder cut will deliver at least 30 ounces for its
time. All right, count it out.
1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12.
18, 20, 22, 22 .35.
Worth $78 ,000.
Definitely an improvement.
You've got to look at it that way.
Three times better.
Yeah.
I mean, obviously, that water license coming in is huge.
But a lot of decisions come with that, you know.
There's a lot of pieces that have to fall into place.
What's going through your head?
Tough it out here?
I mean, we're going to have to go back to Vegas Valley. I mean, I want to.
And maybe at the end of the day, this is just not the happening spot right here.
We can't abandon this place. I did buy it, but the one thing that I can say is
that we can't afford to just shut this down while we're, you know.
We've got to take advantage of all the solution hours we can get. How many gold
ways do we say there can be improvement before we finally say we need to get our
assets back to Vegas Valley?
At the end of the day, I owe Troy, you know, 100 ounces on this ground. So we
can't just walk away from it right now. It's the only spot we're getting gold
from. Does he care where the 100 ounces comes from? Because I'm telling you now,
you're going to get 100 ounces a lot quicker. You do the math, it doesn't
sense to hit 1 ,800 ounces by the end of the season. You know, it's going to
take a while to get Vegas Valley ready. So the minute we're able to swoosh down
there, we will go there. That's a promise. I think we should go there now.
Well, that's too bad.
I think there's gold here.
I hope you're... All right.
Definitely the pressure's going to be on, man.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.
Yeah, this gold wave is better than last week, but it's not as good as what
lower Duncan could be. There could be 400 ounces in that pay pile.
So, you know, for us to try to reach 1 ,800 ounces, we need to be down there
right away.
Well, the gold total for the week, 22 .3 ounces. Yeah, three times as good. But
the exciting thing is we got the water life extension back on Duncan Creek, so
we go back to Vegas Valley.
Huge news.
Now everybody's just arguing on when.
They want to go there immediately, but the timing's just not right. It's going
to take a few days to get that ready, and I'm not willing to stop getting gold
from Lightning Creek until it is ready. So we're going to stick it out here, and
we'll be back in Vegas Valley soon.
Hello. Hey, guys. Hey, guys. How are you? Here. How are you? Good.
Good, good, good.
Have a seat.
I've been here pretty much all week, sluicing away on the early bird cut
Doing very well, actually, I think.
Busy stripping the corner cut.
So I've been doing actually quite well. How about you guys?
Yeah, I set up Harold.
Yeah. We did some old -time entailings, didn't we? Might as well sluice it
sitting there.
Oh, really?
Perfect. Anything you get is bonus.
I mean, if the prize is off the day, rather than throw one of the way, that
don't make no sense. Did it show anything?
No, there's a little bit.
I better count it quick, I guess, huh? I'll pour slow.
There we go. One, two, three, four.
And a five.
And a six. And a seven. Eight.
Nine. Ten.
Eleven. Twelve.
Thirteen.
Fourteen.
Fourteen point two eight. Worth.
Nearly $50 ,000.
It all adds up. It all adds up.
I'm proud of you.
That is a good little venture.
So you want a few counts from the Indian?
Okay, what do we got? So far, the early bird cut is averaging 270 ounces a week.
Michael, ready to count?
10, 30, 40, 50, 100, 110, 120, 170.
190, 200, 210, 250, 260,
270, 280, 290, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 390.
Making the four?
No. No?
398 .18. Worth almost $1 .4 million.
But, I mean, you didn't make four.
Oh, my.
Bringing the beat season total.
to over 2 ,300 ounces.
So that's not bad.
You said at the beginning of the season that there were maybe some opportunities
for Mike as soon as he started getting gold out of the hill.
So what's happening with that?
No. No, no, no, no. We've got to get the thrombo growing.
That's where the real gold is going to come from.
That's all that's good. Just go bring me some more.
Okay, see you later, guys.
Yep. Bye.
I do hope Tony will honor what he said to Mike because he's been working very
hard to get this all sorted out, so he should get them set up.
Honestly, Mike really deserves it.
The frustrating part is I think I have a better chance of learning to breathe
through my ass than I have of going out on my own.
Whatever.
What's up?
Yo, yo.
Well, how did we do this week, Chris?
Brock Dan just chugging away.
Man, that was an unreal pan down there at Sulphur. That pan was probably one of
the best ones we've ever seen.
It's up there. Top ten.
I hate saying anything. I don't want to jinx anything, you know. Yeah, I'm
pretty good at that.
How's your juggling act going?
You know, it's keeping me busy, that's for sure.
We're going to start out with you with Bob. How's that? Sure.
Let's see how Bob did this week.
Big Bob. At Dominion Creek, Tyson's been running wash plant Bob in the bridge
cut, where it's averaging 170 ounces a week.
Here we go. We got 20, 40, 60, 80,
100, 120, 160, 180, 188
.4.
Nice. Not bad. That's a good weight.
So, Bob's chugging along.
Brendan, you want to do a slucifer here?
Go for it. All right.
Lucifer, in the Golden Mile, is pacing 200 ounces a week.
20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150,
180, 200.
Holy.
232 .1.
Wow. Holy.
Yeah. Nice. That's pretty cool, isn't it? Beautiful.
That's a good wig for Dominion.
420 ounces or something?
That's a good number.
And then there's Roxanne Mitchell.
She looks heavy.
Let's see what we got here.
Ready to rip.
Ready? Yep. Now it's time to find out if Parker's move to extend the cut at
Sulfur will pay out.
50, 100, 150, 200.
Oh, yeah. Keep going.
250. A little bit more.
300 right on the dot.
Plus this.
We have another one.
It looks like it's got a load in there.
Ready? All right. We're going to keep adding to her.
There's another 40, 80, 100,
106 .5.
406 .5 ounces.
Okay, yeah.
Mitch,
go ahead and take everything up there.
With just one plant. Mitch.
has nearly matched Tyson's two -plant run.
Dude, that's a lot for one week.
Yeah, so this week, our total is 827 ounces.
Sick. Is that crazy or what?
I was not expecting that.
827 ounces at record prices is worth $2 .89 million,
the most cash.
Parker's ever banked in one week.
That's Parker's happy face.
There we go.
800 ounces, dude. You've got to be happy about that in a week.
Yeah. I just hope we can keep it up. There's still so much season left.
Good way to start it, though. That's a good way to start it.
Thank you, guys. Cool. I'll bag this stuff up. We've all got to do.
After several years of just moving from the Indian River and getting set up and
a lot deeper ground on Dominion, it's taken a long time of stripping and prep.
And finally this season, I don't want to jinx it, but it's looking really good.
We're coming out of the gates running, so hopefully we can just keep that up,
right?
And then sulfur is just killing it.
