Gold mining is seeing a surge in popularity in Burkina Faso as thousands
head to the mines prompted by the rising price for the precious metal.

fields, and are risking their health working near dangerous chemicals
such as mercury. The toxic chemical is
an environmental and health hazard, but continues to be used to extract
gold from the earth.
