ten meters forty five degrees. for the time being we haven't reached the vein but getting closer to us by then production will be twenty grams a load. they were rich it will have a good yield. we can provide for our families as well as for many people here in our neighborhood. but we know in which places there are gold lanes. we go there and it worked i'm going to on title and land which isn't out belongs to the multinationals. illegal mind sprout up everywhere each week. the citizens who have succumbed to gold rush fever quickly try to exploit the high prices.

here no one has titles to the land. the entire region belongs to grand columbia gold recently bought from tino gold mines which went bankrupt. all the large mines of the area and the processing facilities were sold by the government to the canadian multinational for just two hundred million dollars. you know what i mean frontino gold mines here in sit go via has proven gold reserves of over nine hundred thousand ounces of supply nine hundred thousand ounces by today's price of gold at the let's say add one thousand five hundred dollars to me going to that would be an astronomical amount you know because i can't get this multiplication out of my mind. and then along comes the government of alviro you or e bay velez who donates the mines at the humiliating price of two hundred million

dollars this is truly scandalous. look i will explain it to you sometimes my wife buys shoes which she thinks are cheap and i think are expensive. so you must give numbers and explain what is cheap in comparison to other mines globally. how much they were bought for with how many reserves etc one. thing you know they don't produce anything only opinions not facts nor. the union says that the sale was illegal it claims that all the property of frontino was conceded in writing to the thousands of workers of the company by the former bosses who in this way paid salaries pensions and insurance in kind. to the state is selling something it doesn't own in colombia we call this villainy

and overt. get big but if they can say that elvis presley lives that charlemagne was a jew whatever they like but i have a title and that's the difference. the government supports foreign investment of bob so much so that the canadian multinational made a former colombian minister of foreign affairs the company's president. is this something bad is there some gap in the colombian legal system which doesn't allow a member of government to work. she might have inside information. that's not certain that the president of the company was minister of foreign affairs she doesn't have any knowledge of mental energy of course she is learning a lot quickly because she is smart when she left the government. in another meter where the same to her.

fellow. guerrillas are active. so are ago. group of former paramilitaries was. finally the envy ghetto office is also in operation here it is a drug cartel funded after the death of popular escobar by his men it is a war of all against all for territorial control the more territory controlled the more mines exploited this is the seventeen gang members of the restaurant hearst's were killed today in the battle with foreign insulter in calcutta province up there thirty to set the battle was to claim areas in the mountains owner of the aren't you a municipality when i meant that you're also i really see feel that he. with

gold is not evidence substance that it's legal. is that attracts illegal groups a loss which he got his. leg out of the new one during money through gold is easy it has got you riskless. the illegals buy gold or all minus a door to you if you want to and then they take it to the municipality and get it legalized the number of as legal merchandise but it brings profits to the local authorities which will be divided among the politicians who are doing this and thus there will be support from the municipality. all the ordinary gold miners must pay protection to the armed groups active here in order to work. fear keeps everyone silent in suburbia they have a saying flies don't enter into closed mouth. i've heard that regular miners must pay protection to all the armed groups active fear is that correct. they will

meant that you know at the moment i don't know anything about that no one has come to me and i don't know. nor to. those munitions we give two million a month to fark he says then there is also the envy got office. rojas and organized crime i restored the restaurant near the end we got office celia going up or pay protection with a percentage of the gold you know to get on board one panel he or she would own shores as if they were also partners in the mine is anything left over i will clear something is left him not much erin but something this is how we've come to operate . because otherwise it would be impossible to work. because either they will make you leave the poor in a city not almighty you or your family one kid or whoever they want.

still i mean a step forward if the mind is poor they don't care that much as you remain a study custom but if the man is rich with good production this embassy kind of when they visit you all the time did you know and get involved in your business if you. don't need a for their own profit at least as well as their organizations national mostly because in this area enormous amounts of money are really are exchanged intentionally going to deploy economic power leads things to greece. system has come to establish themselves permanently in the area. the government accuses the small town miners are fueling the bloody civil war. president santos is another serious reason to eliminate them so that the. it would

be every day that the secret services of the state that you have along with the ministry of mines and energy as you know i doubt that. this activity doesn't fuel the conflict. but when you know nothing of what is going back to you that in order to prevent it's going to go on as we have done up to now. a special police unit is in charge of hunting down the illegal gold miners. per peasants watch helicopters landing in the middle of nowhere. noise going up if it's not then we the small miners fund the illegal groups as the government says you know in order to protect our lives our families and to work in peace. almost we are forced to pay protection to illegal groups. because the state doesn't protect us you know the police and security forces did their job we wouldn't be obliged to pay for protection. so those.

that live here they do the opposite they fight as they search for us you merely aid us and throw us off our own land so they can surrender it all to the in multi-nationals. that. they. were ben takes three or which comes out of the mind to. the mills to get a pulverized. the cylinders contain metals fierce. cyanide is added to the earth as this helps extract the gold. cyanide is especially toxic and in large concentrations lethal. it was used in the nancy gas chambers. peddler gerbils and eva brown all committed suicide with the

substance during the cold war period both the us and the u.s.s.r. stockpiled it in their chemical arsenals. the solution ends up on this mechanical table which with its slope and movement separates the gold from the earth. but at the moment the yellow is gold right now it's still going down covered in dirt i'm excited because this is what we search for to live. closer is that so much of the taxpayers' money maintains a shiny new people at the rise of civilizations for over a century they've been predictions of western decline given the global financial

crisis that started in two thousand and. still. experience before theories with the. model to fall short of. the force sponsorship. relations the foreign policy. they are all here to make. a chimp and the client.

i. i. i. i go via all the gold miners use mercury to make the process faster and easier. in every mill we throw in this amount of mercury look around move on to some of this will gather the gold we only put this much in each mill come and see how i will do this i. think a book about. mercury is especially toxic to the environment and to humans. damages the brain and central nervous system. i.

gather is what's left of the process in a small container. mercury has the property of dissolving and amalgamating with gold. was stopped by the owner when the mercury captures the gold to the monoplane the only thing left for to do is now to gather it up into a cloth and strain it was wonder how much is this gold worth i don't mind the evil look why don't i mean this is worth twelve million or four thousand seven hundred fifty euros i was.

every friday rabanne gathers the sediment from the whole week and cleans a carefully for hours. was. this is the result. only needs to now is to drive.

two hundred grams. how much earth does it take to produce this amount. thought about it but i estimate fifty tons. the only thing left to do is to get to the gold shop of donya myra down in town. today the two hundred grams were sold for ten million pesos or about three thousand nine hundred euros nowadays ruben and his thirty eight partners are earning more than ever. in order to sell the gold z. kill needs to first get rid of the mercury which is stuck to the precious metal.

they must burn it off and there are dozens of little shops in the center of town which do that i . mercury is released into the atmosphere when burned and when it rains it falls on to homes fields rivers and lakes i said is the town most polluted by mercury in the world according to the world health organization with measurements up to one thousand times above acceptable levels. but it's a very dangerous job. that men everyone who works with mercury must get treatment but that you know because you have mercury in your system and my brother has it and must keep on getting

treatment. it's the easiest process for getting the gold out of that into. them but everything else is much more difficult. yet you don't know if there's another method you won't find it here here mercury is used by the ton of other women that. want. there's already an ecological catastrophe. which was triggered by small scale metallurgy. also. we have the greatest concentrations of your accurate nor what is not at all logical. is the alternative proposed by this government.

and generally by the governments of latin america to have large organized responsible mining companies which are on the stock market that there is no such thing to be already has large scale metallurgy and our analyses all show that an enormous like a responsibility. columbia pollute the environment. no gran colombia pollutes the environment twenty to thirty times less than the average illegal miner. meaning. you know a little bit in the middle we have some pollution like all companies you know which however is within the parameters of colombian laws and international ones is. there a year they will be. put on it and.

the effluent from the gram columbia gold factory along with the waste of the small binders falls into a small ravine which is so toxic that it is acquired name everyone calls it cyanide ravine. on its banks gold diggers process to waste one more time trying to find gold in the poison waters nor in the dangers of all. that i mean if the mine works we make money with your vandals. this work has always taken place here. and a lot of people live off this one to detain extracting gold i could i would win a fight. and is there gold there. naturally if there

wasn't we wouldn't work the fell and if they work it again and again and there's always gold left even what we throw away contains gold. so what happens in the cyanide ravine isn't pollution from. this pollution risk. since cyanide falls into her veins it's bullish. but it's profit to have a profitable. because my we know it damaging the environment but this is how we end our bread. or as.

despite the reactions of the citizens of mar matto the government is planning to relocate them in order to open the way form a doro new open pit mine. the justification for this used by the government is a landslide which took place in two thousand and six it claims of the population is in a high danger zone which means they must be moved to a safer area. despite the fact that state services confirmed of the situation is reversible if interventions are made to the mountain in nearby el johnno the government is already building a hospital modern school compound and houses for the new residents. madore has stated that it will help fund the building programme. if we must talk to the women and tell them that in your new house you have a washer and dryer and you will need to go to the ravine to wash the clothes so

they can have roads a good hospital get a place to study. it over and the work the work is crucial we will create many jobs there. but it not everyone will have ork no but will give work to many people. when spanish conquistadores arrived in colombia in the sixteenth century they thought they had found the mythical el dorado. in amazement they bore

witness to a ritual at play quite heavy to near modern day bogota in which the leader of the movie sky was naked and covered with gold dust through enormous amounts of gold into the water as an offering to the gods. the hunt for the new eldorado is in full swing. well you know this year someone once said to us in a knowing way that we had sin but having such a rich land weeks and days in the past or the north it was the colonizers who wanted to take our first our land i leave our book with the even a little land we still have less than the american as it is a target of the multinational his vocal is by this or this tiny piece of land we have that what if with irvin that we have prepared to defend with our lives some of them and on this we are very clear.

the mushers that so much about the taxpayers' money lending it is a shame it has a lot of people at area the rise and fall of civilizations for over a century they've been predicted as of western decline given the global financial crisis that started in two thousand and. two we speak your language any time of the wall another day of. school music programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angola's kidneys stories. you hear. then sure i'll teach spanish find out more visit actuality all tito is calm.
