Small Scale Gold Mining in The Philippines

: Mill workers move buckets of crushed ore before washing it and adding liquid mercury in order to separate the gold particles from the valueless rock, on April 23, 2014 in Pinut-An, Philippines. Gold mining is the primary source of income for residents of Pinut-An, surpassing fishing as the leading form of employment. An average gold miner earns roughly $180 per month for working seven days a week, while the mine owner can expect to earn up to ten times that amount.
