16x02 - Eager Beavers

Post by bunniefuu »

[nature sounds]

[rumbling]

[Tony speaking]

[narrator]
In his race to 6,500 ounces,

Klondike kingpin Tony Beets
is off to a quick start.

His early-bird cut
at Indian River

has already delivered


worth one and a half
million dollars.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike over radio]
Go ahead.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] There's a lot
of water coming into the cut.

[Tony speaking]

[water splashing]

[engine stops]

[Tony speaking]

[Tony speaking]

[Mike over radio]
Go ahead, Tony.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike over radio]
OK, copy that.

At Indian River,
the 13-acre Early Bird Cut sits

next to two connected
settling ponds.

These hold
all the dirty sluice water

from washplant Sluice-a-lot

discharged at 3,300
gallons a minute.

But a beaver has plugged
the culvert

connecting the two ponds.

Unable to drain into the second
pond, the first pond is quickly

filled up and burst its banks.

Water is now flooding into
Tony's only gold-producing cut.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] OK.

[Tony speaking]

[whirring]

[Tony speaking]

-[Mike grunts]
-[water sloshing]

[Mike speaking]

[water sloshing]

[suspenseful music plays]

To access and clear
the culvert, Tony will first

need to get rid of the water.

[Tony speaking]

[splashing]

[engine starts]

[Mike] Yeah, move
to Parker or something.

[all laughing]

[Tony speaking]

[engine winds down]

[Kevin]
First nuggie of the year.
That's great.

Well, this is a [bleep]
encouraging cleanup.

Just like his father Tony,
eldest son Kevin Beets

is already turning
dirt into dollars.

[Kevin] Boing, boing, boing.

Only one week into his second
season as mine boss,

he's already banked 57 ounces
of his new 2,000-ounce target.

[Kevin]
We started sluicing so early,

'cause last year
we left ourselves

a good little piggy bank.

Because the gold price being
as high as she is, now there's

extra incentive to have money
coming in from the get-go.

It is unfortunate
that Brennan is gone.

We relied on him quite heavily
for keeping the cut in line,

but we will make it
work somehow.

All right, guys.
We had a very good start,

but as you know, Brennan is not
coming back this year,

so I'll be down here in the cut

a bit more often to provide more
guidance and direction.

So, Kayden, you can be
feeding the plant.

Rick on tailings again.

Chelsea, Ayla, and Tyler will
get the rock trucks going

to get a bit
of stripping happening.

Any comments,
questions, or concerns?

My only concern would be
about wet pay

and our potential jam-up.

Well, we really don't have
the time

to let it dry right now.

Have to try and shove it
through and see what it does.

[Kayden] OK.

[Kevin] So, let us get
to getting and get some gold.

Kayden's concerns
about the wet pay,

weighed against getting going,

I think it is worth rolling
the dice and just dealing

with any issues as they arise.

[Kayden]
I think that Kevin's decision
to run the wet pay is gonna

bite us in the a*s
in the long run.

As spring temperatures begin
to rise, Kevin's thawing

pay pile is becoming sloppy.

[Kayden] [bleep] wet pay
keeps skipping the belt.

And proving problematic
for 23-year-old local mechanic

and operator, Kayden Foote.

[Kayden] The pay is so wet,
the belt slips on it.

It just doesn't pick it up.

I don't know why
he's choosing to do this,

but it's making
my patience run thin.

Poor planning causes
piss-poor production,

which leads
to piss-poor results.

[rumbling stops]

Oh, [bleep], [bleep], [bleep].

This [bleep] wet pay, man.

[ominous music plays]

[engine winds down]

[Kayden] Hey, Kevin.
Got a copy, Kevin?

[Kevin] Go for Kevin.

[Kayden]
The roller on the feeder,

the drive wheel was spinning,
but the belt wasn't.

It's soaking wet.
So I shut everything down.

[Kevin] OK...

[Kayden] See that?
Wet [bleep] mud!

Can't [bleep] run that.

Jams up the feeder,
creates the drive belt

to just spin.

Endless [bleep] problems.

Can't run wet [bleep] soup.

I just dumped a bucket in
when it stopped.

[Kevin] Got ya.

[Kayden]
But it was, like, soaking wet.

[Kevin] Yeah.

[Kayden]
If we spread the material,
it would dry out

within a day or two.

[clicking tongue]

It's better than fighting
constant shutdowns.

[Kevin] Uh, no.

A lot of that is just
feeding it in less quickly,

and there will be less [bleep].

We just have to make it work.

Clean out the wheel.

And after that, we'll get
back to sluicing.

[Kayden] Your call, boss.

[scoffs]

The wet pay is slopping over
the side of the hopper feeder's

first conveyor belt

onto its drive wheel below,

making it too slippery to grip
and push the heavy dirt

up the conveyor belt...

stopping it from feeding pay
onto the second conveyor

and into the washplant.

Kevin's quick fix?

Use 4,000 pounds per square
inch of high-pressure hot water

to blast away the mud.

Then fire up the plant and feed
the pay at a slower rate.

[engine starts]

[Kayden] I really miss working
with Brennan.

He's my friend.
He was super nice, supportive.

And with Kevin, I feel
like I'm disrespected.

Whenever I bring something
to his attention,

nothing ever happens.

He hired me on as a mechanic,

and now I'm stuck
doing this [bleep].

[water gushing]

Like, why are we [bleep]
struggling like this?

It's really pissing me off.

[moose groaning]

[Rick] It's been a tough start
to the season,

with the whole Duncan Creek
water license thing,

it's like beating a dead horse.

Gold prices are great right now,
and I have to make a move

on this Lightning Creek option.

It's either, you know,
move on, or, you know,

sit here and cry about it,
which we're not gonna do.



Rick Ness,
is in survival mode.

With red tape preventing him
from running a stockpile

of gold on his own claim,
he has just one choice,

go back to leasing ground
from his old landlord.

It's Troy Taylor's ground,
so I'm gonna talk to Troy

right now and see if we can
come up with a deal.

Quite honestly, I need it.

I can't afford
to not get gold this year.

If Rick can cut a deal for
the ground at Lightning Creek,

he'll once again pay Troy
a percentage

on any gold he mines.

-[Rick] Troy.
-[Troy] Hey, Rick.

[Rick] How you doing, man?

[Troy] Come on in.

What's happening out there?

[Rick] Oh, no, no.

-I'm here to make a deal.
-Yeah, let's talk.

What are you thinking?

I mean, I guess we're gonna talk
about royalties.

I'm looking for 10%.

Yeah, well...

Things have changed.

[Rick]
Uh, so what were you thinking?

[Troy]
The royalty is 20%, Rick.

[somber music plays]

[Rick] Holy [bleep], Troy,
I mean, that's a lot of money.

I'd be taking
all the risk from you,

and you'd be making more.

What if -- what if we said 15?

[Troy] I get that,
but it's less royalty.

You know how it is with water
licenses in demand.

There is a lot of people more
than ever showing interest

right now.
-Yeah.

[Troy] So...

Yeah, you're right about that,
but how many of these people

have you worked with?

These people can
promise you 20%.

Well, what are they gonna
actually put in your hand?

We've been working together
for, you know,

six years now, and if I say I
can put good gold in your hand,

that's what
you're gonna get.

[Troy] I don't know.

Yeah, I know what you can do.

So I'm OK with 15%.

[Rick]
I think we got a good deal.

[Rick] All right, Troy.

Rick must pay Troy 5% more
royalties than he used to

and owes him $350,000

no matter what kind
of gold he finds.

But he finally has ground
for this season.

We got a spot to go mining.

I didn't get the 20%,
but I've got a minimum


involved on a regular basis

up there, so it's good.

At the end of the day, is this
the deal that I wanted to make?

No, of course I wanted to be
mining my own ground,

but you know what?

We've got the deal made
to be able to mine

on Lightning Creek,
so time to get on some gold.



[Parker] Your timing is perfect,
because I'm in the middle

of going through
hiring right now.

And having people that have
some experience up here

is a huge benefit.

Like, I have a spot
for you 100%.

All right, well...

-Welcome aboard.
-[Kayden] Thank you very much.

Look forward to working
with you.

[Parker]
Yeah, no, it'll be good.

When you get here,
we'll take you on a tour

and wash some rocks.
-[Kayden] Awesome.

All right.
Thanks, man.

-[Kayden] Have a great day.
-See you soon.

Awesome!

Hired [chuckles].

Parker Schnabel
is at it again.

Having already poached
Kevin's foreman, Brennan Rualt,

he's now hiring Kevin's key
operator and mechanic,

Kayden Foote.

[Parker]
Kayden's gonna be a great
addition to the place.

When it comes
to poaching people,

everybody's trying
to do it.

So I just don't know,
am I the worst offender

or am I just the most
successful at it?

Right?

[Kayden] Got the job.

Feels great.

In my eyes, he's the king
of the Klondike.

But the most nerve-wracking
part is gonna be when I tell

Kevin and Faith I'm leaving.

That's the one thing I'm
dreading, is that conversation.

[tense music plays]

[Kayden] I want to talk
to you and Faith.

[Kevin] OK.

Really quick,
because I do have to run.

What's up?

[Kayden] So, I just...

it's a sad, hard thing for me.

I mean, it's -- I'm just trying
to do what I think is right.

And so, I got a job offer
from Parker

that I couldn't turn down.

But it's a [bleep] thing,

it really is.
-Mm-hmm.

[Kayden] But I just...
I have to...

move over.
-Yeah, yeah.

Uh...

[Kayden]
It was definitely a tense
and stressful conversation.

I'm feeling a little upset,
but I'm also excited

for my future.

Ugh, [bleep].

It's a bit of a shock.

I did not really expect
him to...vamoose.

Between Brennan
and Kayden, like,

it's gonna make
the 2,000-ounce goal

a lot more [bleep] work.

[sighs sharply]

Things are going all right.

Gold prices are up
a thousand bucks an ounce.

Dominion has a lot of sluicing
that needs to get done.

It's time to make hay
while the sun shines.

Gold mining mogul
Parker Schnabel

is gunning for
a record-breaking season.

To cash in
on the sky-high gold price,

he's chasing
a massive 10,000 ounce,

$35 million prize.

A big key to hitting our goal
this year is gonna be just

getting plants running
early as we can

and keeping them running.

People need to understand
what the...

responsibilities and
expectations are.

And, you know,
they need to be met.

To hit his ambitious target,
Parker's tasked

his two lieutenants

with sluicing more paydirt
than ever before.

At Sulphur Creek,
Mitch Blaschke is stripping

a two-acre cut, hunting pockets
of gold left behind

by old-timers.

You know, this cut is almost
half a mile long.

It's just a lot
on everybody's plate each day.

But we're making good progress
here at Sulphur.

At Parker's main operation
on Dominion,

Tyson Lee is in charge
of two enormous cuts...

the 114-acre Bridge Cut,

where washplant Bob
is already sluicing,

and the new 52-acre
Golden Mile,

where drill results to indicate
the cut could hold

up to $12 million in gold.

[Parker] We're gonna run
four plants this year.

There's a lot of work to do
to get to that point.

Last week, Tyson got Bob
fired up in the Bridge Cut.

Now it's a matter of getting
Sluicifer set up

in Golden Mile.

Alec and Liam have done
the complete rebuild

on the plant, so we'll see
if we can resurrect her.

Right now, I'm getting
pulled in polar opposite

directions with
Bob and Sluicifer.

Parker wants Sluicifer running
by the end of the week.

There's a lot going on
and not much time to do it in.

To help Tyson
get Sluicifer running,

Parker's throwing him
the newest recruit...

-[Tyson] Hello.
-[Kayden] Hello.

...Kevin Beet's former
operator, Kayden.

-[Tyson] How's it going?
-[Kayden] I'm good.

[Tyson]
So we gotta get Sluicifer's
water recirculation

system going.
-[Kayden] OK.

[Tyson]
So we need to have these
culverts in, road activated

by the end of the day, so we can
get Sluicifer in, have two

washplants running on Dominion,
and keep Parker happy.

Absolutely.
Sounds like a plan.

Thanks, Tyson.

In the Bridge Cut,

washplant Bob has been
running for a week,

bringing in


Now, one and a half miles
north, Tyson must get

the Golden Mile
producing too.

First, Tyson needs Kayden
to dig up the only access road

to the cut and install a set
of culverts for sluice water

to pass through.

Once complete, Tyson will move
Sluicifer from Parker's yard

three miles to the Golden Mile
Cut and fire up the plant

for the first time
in two years.

[rumbling]

[Kayden] Today's my first day
working for Parker.

That's a pretty big
responsibility that Tyson

has given me.
I just can't [bleep] up.

I'm working in this really fine
wet material

that's just like quicksand.

So you just gotta be very
cautious or that will sink you.

Just a little love tap,
get her level.

Gentle, gentle.

Oh, no, [bleep]!

I think I'm sinking.

[rattling heavily]

No.

She's in there.

I can't get out of this.

[sighs] [bleep].

Hey, Tyson, got a copy?
Tyson?

[Tyson over radio]
Yeah, go ahead.

[Kayden] Yeah, I [bleep] up.

I sunk the 480.

I'm gonna need your help
with another hoe

to get this thing out.

It's buried in there,
like top of the track frames.

I'll be there as soon
as possible.

Hopefully, this excavator
isn't very stuck,

because I got better [bleep]
to be doing.

Never sunk a hoe before.

I'm sorry.

It's the first hoe
I've ever sunk.

Let me just get in here
for a sec and...

see what we can do.

Without this road
being reactivated,

we can't get Sluicifer
up and running.

So I've got to get
this thing out.

[rattling]

Sure did a number
on that one.

I hope this isn't
what gets me fired.

Right now, we're just seeing
if it can lift itself.

It seems to be able to.
That's a good sign.

[rumbling]

[Kayden]
Looks like he got her.

[Tyson]
Everyone has first-day nerves,
but, you know, hopefully,

this is a lesson learned
for Kayden, you know?

-All good.
-[Kayden] Thank you so much.

-I'll get that culvert in.
-[Tyson] No worries, dude.

[Kayden]
Tyson's a really great guy.

I'm happy that he got it out,

but at the same time,
I'm annoyed that he was able

to do it, and I couldn't.

That definitely
makes me feel like

I always have more to learn.

I'm about to throw
our culvert in.

-[heavy thud]
-And, pow!

Just like that, baby!

Now, time to do a little bit
of backfilling.

Clean up the road.

Good enough.

Tyson can now move Sluicifer
into the Golden Mile

and will soon find out how much
his new cut will pay out.

[Tyson] One step
in the right direction.

Now let's take her home.

Let's try and get some dirt
going through her by the end

of the week for Parker.

[birds chirping]

[Rick] We've got a deal
on Lightning Creek.

Troy drove a hard bargain.

Is it a risk?
Absolutely.

But with the gold
prices right now,

now's the time to strike.

Time is of the essence.

In the mountains above Keno,
Rick Ness is back in the game,

having secured a lease
on Lightning Creek.

[Rick] Now we just gotta
get the gold.

Today, we're gonna start
moving the gear down there,

get our excavators down there,
our trucks, and hopefully,

by the end of the day,
we're breaking dirt

at Lightning Creek,
and that's all that matters.

Going on here?

Who we got here?

Who's that?

Rick's best friend...

Oh, Zee!

...Zee Zaremba and a new
recruit have arrived.

[Rick] Good to see you, buddy.

-Ahh!
-[dog barking]

-How you doing? I'm Rick.
-Hey, I'm Kai.

[Rick] Kai.

[Zee] This is the one I was
telling you about.

To bolster Rick's skeleton
crew, Zee has brought along

new recruit, Kai Shallcross.

Have you ever run
a six-wheel-drive

off-road truck?
-No, I haven't.

I think the biggest piece
of equipment I've driven

is probably like
a mini-excavator.

[Rick] Uh...Let's start.

Good kid?

[Zee] Yeah, good kid.

[Rick] I say let's get
to Lightning Creek

and get to mining.

-All right, I'm ready.
-Sick.

[Zee] All right, let's go.

-[Rick] Let's go!
-[Kai] Copy that.

To get on the gold, Rick needs
to move his fleet of big iron

from Duncan Creek,
eight miles northwest,

to his new, leased 1,600-acre
claim at Lightning Creek,

where he hopes to pick up
the trail of gold

near its source
at Mount Hinton.

[epic music plays]

Finally gonna be able to go
move some dirt, eh?

Yeah, we got some gold
in the box.



[Zee] It's good to see Rick
going gung-h* as always.

I mean, every season, it seems
like there's a new hurdle

for him, but he overcomes it.

Either he's really good
at what he does, or luck,

or a little bit of both.

Four hours later...

Hey, Rick, are we there yet?

[Rick] Yeah, we're here.

[Kai] Awesome.

[Rick] Well,
we're at Lightning Creek.

Let's talk about a plan here.

So we've got, yeah, a lot
to figure out, but I don't think

it's gonna be that
technically difficult.

It's supposed to be


-For five feet.
-...with five feet of overburden
on top of it.

-But I think
that we're up for it.
-Yeah.

I don't know what
you guys think.

Yeah, absolutely.

You got a name
picked out for this spot yet?

Well, from above, it actually
looks a bit like a diamond,

so I was thinking of
"Diamond Cut."

There's some stuff to figure
out yet, I'm not gonna lie,

but this is the year
to swing for the fences.

So I'd say, let's get down here
and start slinging dirt.

-Great.
-All right, sounds good.

Rick's first targeting
a two-acre area

Troy began stripping
last season.

Everyone's been sitting
around, and this is what

they've been waiting for.
Time to go.

And he'll have to navigate
Keno's notoriously spotty

ground on a new claim.

We don't have the best
situation to deal with here.

We got a short season to kind
of figure out where the gold is.

We need to get
over 100 ounces a week.

Can we pull it
from this valley?

It could be spotty,
and if we dig the wrong spot,

we may not find gold at all.

And if we dig the right spot,
we might hit it, you know?

So it's exciting and nauseating
at the same time.

[Alec] It's a monumental day
out here.

We're gonna get Sluicifer
set up on Dominion

for the first time.

[Tyson] It's about time
we knock the rust off her

and get her back to work.

At Parker's Schnabel's...

[Tyson] Wanna jump in the loader
and line up?

...Tyson and his crew are ready
to move washplant Sluicifer

to the Golden Mile.

This plant
was the plant I learned on,

and it's the plant that's gonna

make us a lot
of money this year.

Yo, Alec!
Is everyone clear?

[Alec] Yeah.

[machines creaking, rumbling]

You know,
Sluicifer is my baby girl,

and I'm dragging her home.

Let's go!

We've got some work
to do, girl!

[Alec] Good there.

Tailings conveyor...

[Alec]
Yeah, Tyson, walk forwards.

...and sluice runs mounted...

[Alec] There we go.

All right, we're gonna pull
Sluicifer up the hill.

...Tyson pulls
the fully-assembled




I just got to spin Sluicifer
into place.

Come on!
Let's go!

[Alec]
You got about five feet now.

[Tyson]
That's pretty much there.

Guys, we really k*lled it here.

We got Sluicifer
up to the Golden Mile.

-Let's get her done.
-[Alec] Yeah, definitely.

Nice work!

[energetic music plays]

[Liam] And stop there.

Two years since she last
washed rocks, Sluicifer is

ready to catch an estimated


in the Golden Mile.

This is the first time
that Sluicifer's fired up

on Dominion, so that's cool.

Some of that ground
is looking really good.

Let's hope it mines that way.

Who wants to do the honors?

You press the conveyor,
you press the shaker.

Ready?

Let's go!

[machinery roaring]

Hey, Sandy, start feeding.
Make this one count.

[Sandy] Whoo!

[thrilling music plays]

This is a moment I never
thought would happen.

Sluicifer's firing back up
on Dominion.

First time of the season.

-How's she running?
-Pretty darn smooth.

[Parker] Well, hopefully
it stays that way.

-Good job with the setup, dude.
-[Tyson] Thanks, man.

I got to go.
See you guys.

-Good job!
-[Alec] Thank you.

-You guys are
[bleep] k*lling it!
-Whoo!

[Tyson] Nice work, guys.

Yay!

Washplant number two
up and running.

Two down, two to go.

We got the two main
ones running,

that's what matters.

Hopefully we find some gold.

[Tatiana] So I just arrived
here at Sluicifer,

so we're doing
the first cleanup since 2023.

I heard there might be a lot
of gold in the runs,

but we're about to find out.

Parker's trusted washplant,
Sluicifer, has been running

Golden Mile pay for 24 hours.

[Chris] Hey there, young man.

-[Parker] Hey, Chris.
-[Chris] How's it going?

I've got a lot of good
memories right here.

[Chris] Yeah, when we had
that 400-ouncer in here,

that was awesome.

That was so fun.

[Parker] I was talking
to my dad yesterday,

I was telling him everything
that we've got going on,

and he's like,
"My, is Chris gonna be able
to keep up

in that gold room of his?"

And I'm like, "I hope not."

[Chris laughs] Yeah.

No, I'm gonna
fight you tooth-and-nail.

I'm gonna
push you guys hard.

[lively music plays]

-[Minnie] Hi, guys.
-[Mike and Monica] Hello.

So how are you doing
on the Hill, Mike?

[Mike] I have a ton
I gotta strip,

so I've got a lot to do.

How's it going out here?

[Mike] Pretty good.

[Ruby] I hear you guys are
having a little bit of trouble

with the beavers.
-[Mike] Well, yeah.

-[Mike] Yeah.
-So what do you think?

Should we weigh some gold?

-[Tony speaking]
-Cool.

Despite the beavers shutting
down their only working

washplant for half a day,
Tony expects the Indian River's

Early Bird Cut to deliver
around 250 ounces.

[Ruby] 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50...





[tapping softly]



It's below target,

but still worth almost

three quarters
of a million dollars,

And brings the Beets total
to 632 ounces,

nearly a tenth
of Tony's season goal.

That's not bad.

[Tony speaking]

Keep it up.
I kind of like that.

Don't come back
with anything less.

[Minnie] Not bad at all.

[Tony speaking]

[Minnie] OK, you guys
all should go back to work.

-[Ruby] See you.
-[Monica] See you later.

At Scribner,
Kevin Beets has visitors

for his second gold weigh
of the season.

-[Faith] Hi, family.
-[Ruby] How are you?

How's your season going
so far, guys?

[Kevin] Long, tired.

Having lost two key crew
members in two weeks,

Kevin's about to find out
if it's damaged his chances

of hitting
his 2,000-ounce target.

[Ruby] Well, we drove by
and you guys are sluicing.

[Kevin and Faith] Yeah.

[Faith]
We unfortunately lost Kayden.

-[Kevin] Yeah.
-Really?

That kind of sucks.

I thought he was
quite happy here.

Some things didn't
quite work out,

so he moved over
to Parker's.

[Tony chuckles]

-Such a caring man.
-[all laugh]

[Kevin]
At least on the bright side,

we have some gold
to weigh up.

[Tony speaking]

Kevin spent a week
sluicing wet pay

from his stockpiled piggy bank.

To stay on target,

he needs 88 ounces a week...

[Kevin] One, five, ten...





...worth $170,000.

Just over 100 ounces
for the season so far.

I mean, obviously, we'd like
to see some bigger numbers,

so we'll do what we can.

Anyways, we should all
get back to work.

[Tony speaking]

You know what, Faith?
It works really well.

[Ruby] Bye, guys.
See you.

[Tony speaking]

[Faith]
It was lovely to see everyone.

It was great.

It'd be nice to have a bit
more on the scale next time,

but it'll come with time.
We'll get there.

[bird chirping]

[Mitch] Oh, yeah.

[Parker]
Are you gonna behave?

Looks like he's
in a behaving mood.

What's up, buddy?

After getting Sluicifer
up and running,

Parker's hoping
for a big uptick in gold.

You had quite a week,
it sounds like.

[Tyson] Yeah.

Yeah, well, you hired
on Kayden.

Yeah.

One of Kevin's
old employees, right?

[Parker] Yeah.

So is Kevin even gonna have
a crew left by the time

when we're done here?

[Brennan] I worked with him
last year.

He's a good kid.
Like, he's a hard worker.

So we got two plants going.

-You want to see
how we're doing?
-[Parker] Yeah,

[Chris] You wanna read
this one out?

[Tyson] Here we go.
This one's Bob.

Last week, Bob delivered


Parker's hoping
it's picked up the pace.

[Tyson] We got...






You're not really racing out
of the [bleep] starting gate.

But it puts us
a lot better shape

than where we were
last year.

I got Sluice.

Finally got Sluice
up and running.

[Tyson]
Yeah, first time on Dominion.
Let's see how it did.

Running the Golden Mile
for three days,

this is Parker's first chance

to see how the new cut
will pay out.

So there's definitely
some rich ground over there.

[Brennan] I'm excited for that.

[Tyson] Here we go!







-[Brennan] Nice!
-Not bad.

[Brennan] Not bad at all.

For the week,
we got 273.9 ounces...

...worth just under
a million dollars.

For the season, it's 399.7.

[Parker]
Still a long ways to go.

And you guys will have a third
one fired up this week,

probably, huh?
-Uh, maybe two weeks.

We better get on and find
some more gold, Tyson,

to keep us rolling.
-[all laugh]

Yeah, you guys better start

pulling your [bleep] weight
around here.

[Tyson] You know, it's great
to have two washplants running

on Dominion, but we really
need a third.

Then we can really start

getting some good numbers
coming in.
