Before taking them to the pulverising machine to make them into a powder ready for washing, Tabiani is crushing the rocks manually at his shack at Djuga mines.
Suleyman (51) at his mine near Gangaol shows off his peace of gold on a broken hand, ready to be legally sold to a government approved dealer at an official price.
Gold digger’s home. Gold seekers from all over Burkina Faso come to work at sites like Djuga, where they live in straw boxes and without any infrastructure at all.
Omaru and his team are resting after lunch. After a short break the digging continues until dark when the night shift comes. “In the night it is a bit cooler in the hole” says Omaru, the oldest member of the team.
Nobila (18) grew up in a village in Yalgo, only 26 km from the Djuga mines. He has been working here for three years. When he gets some money he always takes it home to his family.
Suleyman (51) is getting in to his mine to load the ore he had dug before. For the last five years he has been working at a site near Gangaol.
Isa (26) and his team are panning for gold on a site near Gangaol.
Nuru (13) cannot recall how long he has worked here. He has never been to school and does not know how to read or write. He is upset because his brother, who works along his side, is angry at him for not processing enough material through a machine that they have to pay for daily. However, he quickly says that mining is still better than working in the fields back home: “you farm the land, but don’t earn anything,” he says, adding that he is not afraid of working in the mines.
