Don't get me wrong... it's still a bunch of gold.... but we should be pulling 1/3 to 1/2 ounce a day on average.

I decided to clean up what we call our "crap cons". Lower grade concentrates that we don't sell.
This was from the week we were "running and gunning" punching holes and testing a new property.
Running the 5" with just bare mats.

Ended up at about 1.2 ounces.
Still need to clean it up a bit, but it's pretty in the pan.

I thought you guys weren't cleaning up the cons so it would be a surprise to the buyers

We do a small (handful) test pan on every run. They have to be rated a "B" or higher to make the sellable grade.
Below that, C+ and below, get trashed for either testing or worked down for gold.
