35:11 told me that uh they're actually using

35:11 told me that uh they're actually using much bigger trucks than these now. So

35:13 much bigger trucks than these now. So

35:13 much bigger trucks than these now. So they have trucks that are upwards of 30

35:15 they have trucks that are upwards of 30

35:19 driven a truck that big? >> No. So we've been working for a while on

35:21 >> No. So we've been working for a while on

35:22 >> No. So we've been working for a while on getting permission to maybe go down in

35:23 getting permission to maybe go down in

35:24 getting permission to maybe go down in the pit. That might be something that's

35:25 the pit. That might be something that's

35:25 the pit. That might be something that's impossible. But uh hopefully we'll be

35:27 impossible. But uh hopefully we'll be

35:27 impossible. But uh hopefully we'll be able to come back one day and we'll go

35:29 able to come back one day and we'll go

35:29 able to come back one day and we'll go down into the pit.

35:31 down into the pit.

35:31 down into the pit. And uh look at this. They're all these

35:32 And uh look at this. They're all these

35:32 And uh look at this. They're all these minerals here. Colemanite. What do we

35:34 minerals here. Colemanite. What do we

35:34 minerals here. Colemanite. What do we got? We got borax. So here's

35:36 got? We got borax. So here's

35:36 got? We got borax. So here's just pure borax, undiluted, very soapy

35:38 just pure borax, undiluted, very soapy
