Gold mining in Uganda: Gold miners are seen extracting sandy soil from a gold mining pit in Bugiri 348km (216miles) east of Kampala, Uganda’s capital on February 5, 2013. The miners pound the excavated soils, dissolve it in water and mix the content with mercury to attract gold. It’s later heated to separate the gold. The gold is sold to local brokers who in turn market it to the international market. (via Echwalu Edward)

I wonder how much they get paid for this….
