Welcome to the Daily MineCrawl Challenge!

Every day, a new mysterious mineral deposit is discovered. All operators are given exactly the same layout to mine. Can you top today's leaderboard?

How to Operate:

• Click on grid blocks to mine and excavate them.
• Avoid mining unnecessary waste blocks (blue blocks with negative values).
• You earn profit when you mine high-grade gold blocks (gold-yellow blocks).
• Time is money: block values continuously depreciate! Excavate high-grade sections as early as possible.
• Note: Clicks are throttled to a maximum of 3 times per second.

No underground mining allowed.

Open-pit rules apply: To excavate a block, the block directly above it and both diagonal blocks above (left and right) must be completely mined first.

Blocks with a check (✓) can be mined because the three blocks above them are empty.
You have 90 seconds to maximize value. Good luck, Operator.
