Artisanal gold mine in Tonoir, southern Burkina Faso, West Africa - 2009
GOLD MINING IN BURKINO FASO
With international demand for gold having risen over the past year, this has seen a new explosion of artisanal (small-scale) mining taking place in the impoverished West African nation of Burkino Faso.
With a high number of people in the country, which sits between Ghana and Mali, struggling to get by gold mining is seen as a vital lifeline to many.
The gold mine at Tonoir is just one that has seemingly sprung up overnight as thousands of workers and their families join the gold rush.
With its haphazard and dangerous construction Tonoir is now home to an estimated 50,000 people.
The 'mine' is made up of numerous different shafts; some extend 20m under the surface, propped up with tree branches, as part of an elaborate tunnel system.
Each day workers descend into these shafts for up to four hours at a time, using primitive tools to hack out large rocks that are then hauled to the surface.
These rocks are broken down and then filtered through water troughs in order to obtain the tiny specs of gold.
Mercury is added to bind the gold together and the results are shipped off to be sold in markets in the capital city or further a field in Ghana or the Ivory Coast.
Generally, the same person owns all the mining sites in one region, with a licence to mine being granted by local authorities.
With no centralised control, conditions in the mines can vary widely, with little regulation and no real safety precautions making them a dangerous place for the miners and their families.
There is little or no protective clothing, either down the mine shaft, where chocking dust rules, or above ground where the mercury that is added to the gold can have harmful side effects.
Dynamite is also regular...
