GOLD DIGGER

A TRADITIONAL miner carves the walls of a gold-containing pit in Anggai village, South Halmahera Regency, North Maluku, Saturday, February 3. Miners in the area still rely on makeshift tools to extract material in the form of rep stones from pits as deep as 50 meters. Over two days, the miners managed to collect 170 sacks of material, which will be processed into raw gold. ANTARA/Andri Saputra
