Narrator: AFTER 2 DAYS OF RUNNING IN THE CLUSTER CUT,

PARKER SHUTS DOWN FOR HIS FIRST GOLD WEIGH.

BEFORE WE GET A RESULT ON THIS, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS.

IT'S A TOUGH TIME WITH ALL THESE PERMITTING ISSUES

AND GROUND ISSUES AND LOSING DEAN.

THE REAL BUMMER OF IT IS JUST,

THERE WAS A LOT OF ADDED EXPENSE THIS SPRING.

I REALLY JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BUCKLING DOWN

AND GETTING THINGS GOING AND TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS.

ALRIGHT. DOUMITT!

I'M READY TO ROCK AND ROLL.

GET THIS STUFF ON THE SCALE AND SEE HOW WE DID.

Narrator: AFTER HIS FOREMAN QUIT,

PARKER DOUBLED DOWN WITH A WHOLE NEW MINING PLAN.

LAST YEAR, PARKER AVERAGED 50 OUNCES A DAY.

FOR 2 DAYS' WORK, HE HOPES TO HIT 100 OUNCES.

Chris: 60, 80...

NO WAY.

...90, A HUNDO, 110, 115...

WHAT?

124.3

[ LAUGHTER ]

[BLEEP] UNREAL!

-NO [BLEEP] WAY! -YEAH!

Narrator: WORTH $174,000, PARKER'S GAMBLE

TO START WITH THE CLUSTER CUT HAS PAID OFF BIG.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO TELL ME, LIKE, 65 OR 70.

Chris: YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE, YOU GUYS.

I -- HONESTLY, I'M EXTREMELY SURPRISED BY THIS.

YOU GUYS REALLY STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE.

I GOT TO AGREE WITH PARKER.

YOU GUYS DID A SMASHING JOB OF TAKING OVER LIKE THAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CHEERS, GUYS. YOU GUYS, GREAT JOB.

LET'S KEEP IT UP. MM-HMM.

Parker: REALLY, I'M JUST RELIEVED

BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE NEEDED WAS A REALLY BAD FIRST CLEANUP.

LIKE, WITH THE AMOUNT OF [BLEEP] THAT'S GONE ON,

JUST SO MANY DELAYS AND SO MANY ISSUES,

AND IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE EASY.

BUDDY, THAT'S WHAT I'M [BLEEP].

OVER 100? [BLEEP]

IF IT WERE EASY, EVERYBODY WOULD BE DOING IT.

[ LAUGHS ] YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

OKAY! WHAT!

LET'S GO FIND SOME MORE GOLD, BROTHER.
