Extreme gold mining in the Congo

The so-called hydraulic mining of gold, which brings great environmental damage, was captured in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Crowds of gold miners occupied the sandy hills to try their luck in search of the precious metal.

Several people, having climbed into an impromptu mine, left it with the help of colleagues outside, who assisted the gold miners so that they would not be overwhelmed by the rock that had fallen from above.

Judging by the cries of joy, one of the participants in the extreme mining was lucky and became the owner of the golden trophy.
