Is this the last truckload to do?
See at the Wash plant.
Parker and Diego have spent the day running paydirt from the deep hole.
Time is it now?
23. Yeah. They're going to start washing the mats.
See?
Ask him if he's nervous.
Nervioso na nervioso Ansioso.
Anxious. More than nervous.
Anxious. But in the past, they already had the experience of watching a new load and
that it was empty. No load.
Me to.
Hola. Hola.
Where have you guys been?
Went in the water trucks.
Oh. Oh.
Found out a lot about the water situation.
Okay.
You know, they're. They're not that expensive to to hire, like, 110 bolivianos per trip.
That's not too bad.
So that's good.
When was the last time you were this interested in a clean up, Parker?
Years ago. Yeah, I'm kind of nervous, actually, for them.
They've put a lot of money into that pit, you know?
Not cheap for the first.
Oh, yeah. Cool.
Oh, no way.
Look at that. Oh.
This isn't a winner. See?
See, See?
That's a big boy.
Nicotine.
They did hit some bedrock in the hole.
That test looked good.
There were some gold in it, but it's so hard to tell at that stage.
There's definitely a lot to think about for me.
Can you ask if we can if they'll keep this separate?
Ito para ver si, si.
Yes. Yes, they can.
They can.
I'm really curious to see how this how this ground works out.
We're going to get the treadmill set up, which is exciting.
Could you imagine if this place was actually another Yukon?
That's what's exciting about it.
It could be.
On his last day to explore the Kempsey mine before they weigh the gold from the deep
hole.
Can we set our trauma up down on that road?
Parker plans to use his mini trommel to check the efficiency of Canseco's wash plant.
We want to run some of his tailings.
Okay.
Testing the paydirt that's already been processed to see if any gold was missed.
Well, tell him what his recovery rate is and then see if we need to make some changes.
Okay.
Parker's actually considering investing in this place.
But before you start thinking about investing, you really need to do your due
diligence, and we need to do it ourselves.
So after we've done the test and the recovery rates, it's going to give us such a
better picture of how their wash plant is running before we think about putting money
on this place.
Right there is good. Perfecto.
Perfecto.
Military mejorar el sistema trabajo trata de si es posible el otro.
Can you ask him what he thinks his recovery rate is then?
60, 70.
Nobody wants to lose 30%.
In the Yukon, we have it down to less than 5% losses.
Con La pala you want you want them to bring it with the.
No, we have to get it right off the end of the sluice box because the gold can
concentrate up in that chute and where the loader is scooping you might not get the gold
that's there losing.
We have to get it right off the sluice box, which we have to do by hand.
No.
Finding gold in the tailings would mean canciones literally throwing money down the
drain.
I'm about to get soaked.
How many of those do we need to collect?
20. Oh, this is not.
Going to be fun.
That's not going to work.
You have to get it right off the sluice box.
But this is like.
War zone in there.
What we'll do is we'll hang buckets off of the sluice box and just fill them halfway.
If two people are holding the bucket, we can get it up over the edge.
Kujawa.
Loony bin.
I got it. Yeah, that's better.
Oh, boy. Okay.
Oh. Come.
Oh.
See.
He likes to see Parker working like this.
Yeah, but is he worried?
Is he excited?
Preocupado por las Expectativas.
Parker.
He is worried not to cover the whole expectation.
Parker and all the team has about him and the mind.
I knew it was going to be a pain in the ass, but not this bad.
We'll do it this way. This is definitely a hardcore trip, just going from elevation to
jungle and to different countries and dozens of mine sites.
And you know, the clock is ticking to make that investment decision.
Yeah, it's perfect.
Perfecto.
Like a real man.
I don't feel like a real man.
He told me that. You said that it's over.
Okay.
That was terrible.
That whole process sucked.
In the Yukon, when we do this, we just walk an excavator up to the plant, hold it under
the sluice runs. Catch an excavator bucket full of dirt.
Walk it over to where you're sluicing it.
Bob was not our uncle today.
Some jackass was our uncle and he kicked our ass.
With a yard of tailings from the wash plant, collected more and more.
And more and more and more right there.
Memento. We got to start everything up.
The team run the material through the test trommel.
Our troubles about 95 100% recovery rate.
So this will give us a really good test.
I'm just going to run the tailings and test that and see how much they're losing.
Why don't we get the loader closer?
So it's right there.
Up and closer.
That's better.
There we go. There we go.
Number one. Number one at the Daily.
I think the.
Biggest thing I've learned on this trip is that you don't grow in your comfort zone.
South America pushed me so far out of that comfort zone in so many ways, and I think I'm
a better person for it and a better miner for it.
That was bucket two.
All right. Bucket three.
Nice.
We're cranking.
I knew it was going to be tough and it was going to be hard.
But on the adventure front, this has been one of the best trips I've ever been on.
The fact that we're here now, I think, is actually quite incredible.
This step we have to feed a little slower because there's a lot of fines in it.
I know. I know.
I think mining is really interesting.
It's exciting.
The whole trip has been way more than I was expecting.
I don't know if I could call it a gold fever because I feel like if it was a gold fever, I
would quit being a doctor and start mining.
And that's something I'm not willing to do.
But I think it was a really fulfilling trip.
Not one.
The loaders can go.
Yes, we're done.
All right, That's good. That's good.
I think. Here it is.
Juicy. Concentrate.
Two. Casio.
Casio.
I'm parched.
I need a water. Can you take this to Casio?
I'll be right behind you.
Oh, water's coming.
Look at my timing.
I don't have the confidence level that I would normally have, but it should be a
fairly good representation.
I hope we're going to find out that they're not losing much gold Gancio.
In Minera también trabajar con parker para tener ciertas experiencias de
aprender mas.
This is a cool panning technique.
Swish. Swish out.
Where did he learn to pan?
Look at all of us.
Here every day.
Now. Ora ora una una sola.
Even at my mind. It's like you'd find more than that.
It's a good thing.
No, it's good.
Like finding gold in tailings is not a good thing.
No, no, no.
So it's good that we didn't find anything.
