If we don't hit our 10,000 ounce goal, we're running out of time. Running out of time real quick. Yeah, it's starting to get pretty cold, huh? Yeah. This, I think, would be the key week if we don't get some good numbers. So, we can throw some gold on the scale and see how we did. Yeah, let's do it. All right. Is he hearing blah nacho? Blah nacho food. He hears food nacho. Oh, yay. Thank you. How are things down at Ken Stewart's?
Uh, it's busy now with all that stripping going on, but we're a lot better with that new D11. I'll tell you that. Thing's sick. Parker needs 1,058 O to hit his 10,000 season target. All right, Chris, you ready? Show us some gold. All right, so this a bridge cut. See how Bob did this week. Yeah. Wash plant Bob is averaging 145 ounces a week. Here we go. Got 40 174.2. Nice. Well, that's nice. That's good. Picked yourself up a bit.
Yeah. Golden Mile tea plant. So, this is goose and big red. Yeah. All righty. Let's see how the two plants did. Last week, the golden mile delivered 330 ounces. 40 80 220. Are we going to break three? 302.25. Nice. Broke 300. That scoot paying itself off. We got good old rock sand, right? All right. Ready? We did a lot of dozing this week and a lot of solution. See what we got. Since being in pit 2 at Kennon Stewarts, rock sand has averaged 141 ounces a week. And we got 30, 70, 100, 120, 150.8.
Nice. Not bad. That is a solid week. Last week we had $548.55. This week 627.25 worth $2.3 million. Wicked. Yeah, that's good week. Our season total 9,569.45. That's nice. Rough. We're roughly four and a half away from our goal, you guys. Another week like that and we'll have her. Yeah. Keep them running. That's a hell of a result. We got this. Oh, yeah. Get out there, you guys. Winter is here and you know, we have very limited time left now and we're really close to the goal. But this time of year, everything's pretty near its breaking point.
31-year-old Parker Schnobble is closing out the busiest season of his life, running 24/7 for 6 months, and it's paying off. He's close to breaking his 10,000 ounce gold, but is barely ahead of neighbor Tony Beats. Mitch is busy running the stripping program in the midst of, you know, trying to keep Roxan running and starting our next pit on the Indian River for next year. And then Tyson is just, you know, fighting to keep um the three plants on Dominion running. To hit his goal this week, Parker's cranking up his four wash plants to run even more pay dirt. Just got to keep these wash plants running.
Parker, got a copy. Parker, that Yeah, go ahead. Got a big problem with Roxan. Got some cracked cross tubes here. All right. Yeah, I'll let Mitch know. He'll come up and have a look at it with you. Stupid B. Hey Mitch, what's happening man? Just trying to figure out the best way to get rid of this water over here. Alex just radioed me and there's bigger problems. There's a bunch of cracks in the screen deck on rock sand. Oh, he's up there having a look at it. And we're only like what 400 change away from hitting our goal. So, we'll just have to keep trying to babysit it
through the season and then figure out a plan. Yeah. On the plus side, gold has another record high today. That's awesome. Nuts. It's totally crazy. But yeah, let's try to keep that thing banging if you don't mind. All right, we'll go have a look. Thanks, man. Only 2 years old, wash plant rock sand already has cracks in its structural tubes. If not fixed, they could break apart and damage the plant. putting it out of action for the rest of the season.
How's it going, buddy? So, this whole cross tube here is compromised. We'd be looking at maybe two days downtime to replace this tube here and that tube there. There's no way Parker's going to let us turn this wash plant off for any length of time. So, probably just pop those screens out, welder up the best you can. Hopefully, it's got enough life left in it to get to the end here. Oh, yeah. If you look at the gold prices right now, every one of these mine bosses has the same mentality, dude. Crank them up as hard as you can. Get as much material
through him to get as much gold. Yeah, for sure. Thanks, buddy. Take care, Mitch. Okay, that's the guy right there. The one I'm after. Let the music begin. I love my job. This is one of the worst cracks that I've seen on a plant that we've actually uh kept running. Damn it. Are you still in there? Hey, Matt. Hey, I've uh hurt my foot pretty bad. I need some medical attention here. He's on his way, man. Coming up to you.
Hey, thank you. You all right up there, buddy? I'm hanging in there, Matt. Let's see that thing. Does that hurt pretty good? It hurts beautifully. Yeah, I thought so. A 4,000 degree piece of molten metal flew into Alex's boot, searing his flesh, causing secondderee burns. All right, I'm going to flush it with this and get this burn dressing on there. Definitely clean that out really well when you get home. He has felted my sock real good. Put like antiseptic gel on it.
We'll just keep working, I guess. Gold star for you, buddy. Yeah, right. Well, I was happy to help. Thanks, Matt. See you. There's no one else here to do this here to help me. So, just suck it up and keep working. Foot patched up, Alec gets back to welding rock sand. And with rock sand back on her feet, the crew have a fighting chance of hitting 10,000 ounces by the end of the week. All the welding's done. I'm just reassembling the top deck and get ready to start slooing here. Fire up, Roxson.
Here we go. Let's How's your foot doing, man? I don't feel it right now. Whatever Matt did is really working good. Well, man, thanks for being a trooper there and just patching it up and buckling down and getting it finished. What do you think, man? Will it last a week? That's a million-dollar question right there. No warranty, no guarantee, but fingers crossed. Great job, buddy. We're washing rocks. I thought we'd have 10,000 ounces by now, but um it's proving to be a bit elusive.
We need to push those wash plants a hell of a lot harder. In a herculean effort to get 430 O and hit 10,000 by the end of the week, Parker is pushing his crew and wash plants hard. with Parker's decision to run the absolute piss out of the wash plants so we can hit our gold total. I got Big Red running a little hot. So, it's definitely putting a lot of stress on the plants and whatnot, but you know, it's not my call. I'm just here to do my job and keep Parker happy. Oh, don't stop. Liam, Alec, do you got a copy? Yeah, go for Liam. Hey, man. Uh, I'm going to need you to come up to uh Big Red.
John, what happened? Radio stacker quit on me, buddy. Oh, it looks like we got a super slimy belt here. So, it gives no friction to the belt. So, when it makes its way up to the head drum, the head drum will just spin there. why we're getting so much mud on the inside of the conveyor. Maybe it's just not coming in far enough. Yeah, we need a bit more overlap like from this head drum into this rock box so the material doesn't stack up here. This hopper is buried in material left and right. So, what do you think? We got to move the radial stacker back. Yeah, we have hydraulics on this. I can just run the hydraulics a bit and sort of like inchworm it back a bit. How do
you inchworm a radial stacker? The stacker is going to have to be up in the air. And then as long as the axle end, which is usually planted with those power wheels, was free to come towards this plate, the radio stack would effectively move backwards. And now it's topheavy and unsettled. If it wants to roll away with a conveyor up like that, like who's to say it's not going to fall over, too? It's definitely risky. Pay dirt from Big Red's hopper conveyor is getting under the wash plant's radial stacker and coating the inside of its belt, which is then traveling up to the drive pulley's head drum, making it slip, stopping pay from being fed into
the plant. Moving the hopper feeder conveyor forward would solve the problem, but it would require time and an excavator they don't have. Alex's quick but risky fix is to inch the 120 ft radial stacker back by 3 in so it sits further underneath the feeder conveyor stopping the pay getting under the belt. First, he'll raise the top end of the radial stacker up and use its weight to generate downforce onto the axle. Then by lifting the axle's gullwing brake wheels off the ground, he hopes to inch the stacker back towards the feeder conveyor. But if he loses control, it could topple over and cause a disaster.
Have you ever done this before? This is completely experimental. Seems like the only option we got. Let's give it a go. See what happens. All right. So, let's call that our line in the sand there. Yeah. If goes south, well, it was nice hoing you. Yeah, you too, buddy. All righty. I'm pulling up the wheels here, so maybe stand back a little bit. It's a little nerve-wracking. Soon as he lifts those glove wings up, there could be a possibility where it tips completely over. So, we're putting our prayers to the gods right now.
Okay, that's off. Other side's also off. Okay, now the exciting part. I'm raising up the radio stacker now with the G wings off the ground and these wheels are moving slowly which is letting me know that we are indeed checking our progress. My heart's in my throat right now watching this thing move back and forth knowing that it could top over. Got like half an inch. All right, we got our height. Then I'm going to lower the stacker, which should increase the distance. That's good. the golf wings back on the ground here. As for level side to side, you figure we're pretty good.
It looks pretty good to me. Okay. Yeah, we're we got the weight back on the uh stabilizer legs. I can roll these dies. So, I'm just going to go say hi to brother John and see if we've uh moved the amount we need to. What do we end up getting, John? Yeah. Three, three and a half. As long as the material doesn't pile up here, it shouldn't get into the belt. Shouldn't with stuff up there. Yep. So, let's fire up. Great job, guys. Great job, It's looking a lot better for where the material's landing. The plan has helped a lot. Are we winning? Looks like it's running really good. Nice.
We got Big Red running again. Everything's running smooth. And now the main focus is to keep the wash plants running and hit our 10,000 ounce goal. Not saying it was a rough day, but that's our second cup. Parker and his crew have produced more than 9,500 ounces of gold this season and need just over 430 to hit his 10,000 ounce goal. Man, we've thrown a lot of rocks at those plants this year. They're It's getting rough out there trying to keep those plants going. We found some big cracks in Roxanne this week.
It shows down here when you guys have problems out there. It's a week is what you're saying. If we don't hit our 10,000 ounce goal is because the plant breakdowns and I know you guys have put a lot of dirt through them. So, there is going to be wear and tear. Just got to keep them going. We're running out of time. Running out of time real quick. Yeah, it's starting to get pretty cold, huh? Yeah. This, I think, would be the key week if we don't get some good numbers. So, we can throw some gold on the scale and see how we did.
Yeah, let's do it. All right, we got the bridge cut. Here we go. Wash plant Bob has been averaging 147 ounces a week in the bridge cut. 120 127.35. Not bad. Okay, Mitchell, see what Roxan can add to it. We got 40. Roxan has been slooing pay from pit two at Parker's Indian River claim. Come on, keep going. 120 133.9. Nice. There you go. So, what are we looking for here? We need a little over what? 200 to hit our target.
200. Yeah. So, this is the golden mile. We got a couple of them here. Ready? Yeah. See how Goose and Big Red did. Got 40, 80, 120, 130, 140. Don't slow down, doom it. There we go. 200. Sick. 220. 258.15. Yeah, that's awesome. Good job, GUYS. FOR THE FIRST time ever, Parker has hit 10,000 ounces in a season worth an incredible 38,341,000. Good job, T. Thank you. One more. I was rinsing the tank from the Golden Goose. I found the weirdest thing. The goose laid its first egg, you guys.
Exactly 1 ounce. There you go. We got our golden egg for 259.15. That's cool. It's actually hilarious. Last week we had 627.25 ounces. This week 520.4 for a season total of 10,89.85 O. Sick. We did it. Good job, guys. And um you know, we've got a little bit of time left in the season, so I think we should just uh keep slooing and um you know, we had a 10,000 ounce goal last year, too, and didn't hit it, so let's make up for a little lost time.
