The gold buyer is ripping off the miners big time. He's using coins and matches for counterweights. What a fraud. He's could easily show the weight to 2 decimal places using an inexpensive digital scale for around $25. I doubt these miners have the maths skills to be able to multiply the mass of their gold x spot price in grams. How would they even know the spot price of gold? Do they read the wall street journal ? Do they check the price on their smart phones and laptops through a wifi connection? I bet the whole village does not even have 1 scale. They put their trust 100% in the buyer for the weight of the gold, the spot price of the gold and the currency exchange rate from euros to West African CFA Francs (Burkina Faso currency). The buyer is getting the price in Euros off his phone but is not paying in Euros. If you look closely , one of the bills show a value of 5000 and that isn't euros. That would be 5000 Africian CFA Francs which converts to around $7.50 in euros. I doubt that buyer is paying more than 30% of the true value of the gold. No wonder the miners make 1 euro a day and the buyer make 2500 euros a month. Very sad.

This is such a tough situation. On the one hand, if the mines were more efficient and used western machinery and technology then the miners would be more skilled, have much higher pay, and they'd be able to produce far more gold for better profits. HOWEVER, they wouldn't be able to employ even a fraction of the people mining primitively right now because the machinery would be efficient enough to outmine thousands of pickaxes and shovels. So, it's definitely a tradeoff. They can have about a million people mining inefficiently and making little money or a few people mining a lot of gold but they'd almost definitely need westerners to do the more advanced engineering/chemistry related jobs leaving the locals with a few realtively well paying jobs while everyone else that could have been a miner left out in the cold unemployed.

I agree, it's very sad...but I'd like to say that there might be various reasons for it. Perhaps the boy had run away from home, probably after his family had arranged his marriage or had forced him to work for them without pay. Maybe the family didn't have money for the burial, or for the transportation of the body to his birthplace. These are poor and uneducated communities...where unfortunately, there is no contraception and a full fledged patriarchal society dictates life. Communities were women are mistreated and are only kept as house maids and "producers" of children; Children who grow up badly fed, badly clothed and horribly educated. And they are used for all sorts of unpaid labour by their own families...you saw yourself the children working in the video. And honestly, it's better if they run away and work for themselves instead of being slaves of their own families. I live in Albania myself, a corrupt, developing country; Many communities living in villages, in the northern mountains and especially the Roma community are incredibly undeveloped, both socially and economically. After decades of bad education, violent fathers, abandoned children and so on, you can see how children are used for all sorts of things. They are not allowed to go to school, only because they have to work the land, or sell at the local market. Roma and Gypsy communities in the cities send their children to collect scrap metal and beg for money on the streets. And the parents are often sitting somewhere close, hanging out and guarding their children...mostly to deter them from spending the money on food or candy. In case you ever encounter children begging on the streets when travelling to developing countries, give them food or water! Don't give them money...it will only fuel their parent's disgraceful practices; And they are not poor, not like people in Africa. They have homes, they have televisions and fridges and everything; Begging is a job that pays awfully well, often because people feel pity when confronted by children, or even handicapped and mutilated individuals.

I've been to the Capitol of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, for work several times, to be honest it always surprised me, I've worked in many African countries and Burkina is supposedly one of the poorest, but Ouagadougou always seemed pretty much the most organised and tidy city I've visited. The streets are well maintained and clean, traffic lights that work properly and everybody drives really well and obeys the police and the usual familiar driving rules, and believe me that is rare in African cities traffic is usually total mayhem. You can find some excellent restaurants there, including French cuisine, and the night life is good too, a very interesting place I recommend to anyone going for an adventure look around Africa.

It's important to realize how much gold is used in our consumer grade dispoable electronic devices like cellphones. Miniscule on an individual basis. But it all adds up. These poor kids and folks are toiling away, their sacrifice for our satisfaction.

There are gold shafts near where I live in Otago New Zealand that go straight down like these ones. They are a hazard even over 100 years after the gold rush ended. People and animals still fall down uncovered ones. Some New Zealand miners used a type of covered mercury crucible to evaporate mercury as shown at 12:25 except this guy's just using a metal plate. The covered type has a tube that comes out the top which you put into a jar of water. The vapour goes down the tube and the water cools the mercury down so you get it back. So it saves getting more mercury and you don't breathe as much vapour. Perhaps these miners could be encouraged to use that type to save money. It would also save them from mercury poisoning, but you could sell it to them as a money saving idea which might get their attention more.

So many people have billions and trillions saved up all for nothing but to show off to others their wealth and yet there are people in dire need of help but they’re not being helped! Every living being deserves a better life. It’s heart breaking seeing people suffer like this SubhanAllah 💔

Tout d'abord, je tiens à vous remercier d'avoir exposé de telles atrocités auxquelles les Africains sont confrontés à cause d'un mauvais leadership. Les gouvernements ont avili l'éducation, rendant la population moins consciente de leurs droits et de leur pouvoir. ..au Kenya, nous avons eu une grave famine qui a presque anéanti toute une race du peuple turkana.. Ce sont les vrais problèmes du monde qui doivent être résolus. .nous devrions d'abord essayer d'éradiquer l'extrême pauvreté et la maladie.thank u

Imagine having to choose between helping a kid or producing a more dramatic video.

The heating of mercury to recover gold in the open air is a slow death sentence. If small pipe retorts could be provided to the miners to recover the mercury vapors, then the exposure of the miners to mercury could be greatly reduced. A retort for small amounts of gold could be made by using a 3 foot long piece of pipe with a 90 degree elbow and cap on one end of the pipe. The amalgam would be placed in the cap and then screwed onto the elbow. Wet rags would provide cooling to the pipe while the elbow would be put into a fire. I am not able to pursue this effort, but I would be willing to donate to a fund to place small retorts into the camps. The miners could be educated about the hazard of mercury vapors, and the clincher is that the retort allows the mercury to be reused so that they do not have to buy as much mercury to process the ore. This will save the miners money which is likely the impact that will interest them the most.

Great honest documentary

@@the_unfiltered_truth7181 the difficulty is that everyone is scratching a living when their governments are living opulent lifestyles. If they are going to mine these reserves the only sensible way to do this is with very large mining equipment, but even then, to do this without degrading the environment is so expensive, it's usually not worth doing, unless there is sufficient gold. They probably need to go back to agriculture but not just any agriculture. High quality green house style, high tech and supported by their governments.
