GOLD ERODED OUT OF THE SOURCE, THE DRUMLUMMON LODE.

Dave: SO, WE'RE GONNA CALL THIS "HOWIE'S CUT"

BECAUSE HOWIE TOOK ALL THE TOP ROCK OUT OF HERE.

THEY CRUSHED IT, PUT IT ON A ROAD.

HE LEFT THE BOTTOM 18 INCHES TO 24 INCHES.

I WANT TO START HERE.

IT WAS THE LEAST VALUABLE GROUND THAT WE TESTED,

SO I WANT TO DIAL IN THE PLANT HERE, AND AS WE GET BETTER

AND WE GET THINGS DIALED IN, EVERYTHING'S WORKING,

WE MOVE UPSTREAM TO THE GOOD GOLD.

Narrator: DAVE'S FIRST CUT WILL BE

DIRECTLY BENEATH LANDOWNER HOWIE'S OLD GRAVEL YARD.

I THINK HOWIE'S CUT WILL BE ABOUT 3 ACRES,

A LITTLE MORE THAN 10 BUCKS A YARD,

AND THAT SHOULD GIVE US 90 OUNCES.

DUDE, THAT'S A GREAT START.

I MEAN, 90 OUNCES RIGHT OUT THE GATE?

-ALL RIGHT. -OKAY.

SEEING HOW THINGS LOOK.

SO IT'LL BE KIND OF INTERESTING TO SEE HERE.
