El Salvador: buried treasure or fool's gold?

An estimated 43 percent of the country is underemployed, and some 20 percent of gross domestic product is made up of remittances sent from families and friends abroad. Galindo says having a job and then losing it was tough for him and others. But does he want the mine to open?
"It's complicated," he says. Like many here, he expresses a fear of the unknown – damage to land, water, and potentially, people's health.
Ultimately his answer is yes: He'd work for the mine "because I need work, but I'd do it knowing there'd be consequences tomorrow," he says, citing deforestation and water contamination already present from other industries.
