Congo's Gold Mountain

Congo's Gold Mountain


Mountain With 60-90% Gold Soil Discovered In Congo, Villagers Flock With Shovels. n a bizarre discovery, villagers in Congo’s Luhihi, which is located in the country's South Kivu province, discovered gold in the soil of a mountain located in the area. Freelance journalist Ahmad Algobary shared a video on his Twitter account that shows several villagers flocking the mountain with shovels and tools to dig out the gold. Some of them can be seen using bare hands to dig the ground in order to extract gold. The villagers took the soil back home to extract gold after washing it.

They are all going to be missing a hand shortly. The Chinese backed warlords don't play that.

That gold pan is insane. Gold Rush ain’t got shite on this show.
I definitely laughed. One guy was hand digging on the ledge and I was thinking that’s a good way to lose a finger watching people shovel from below...sure enough didn’t lose it but pretty sure the kid hit the guys hand because he swatted at him.

They'll be vastly underpaid for what they find.

Per National Geographic:
When Mansa Musa went on a pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca in 1324 C.E., his journey through Egypt caused quite a stir. The kingdom of Mali was relatively unknown outside of West Africa until this event. Arab writers from the time said that he travelled with an entourage of tens of thousands of people and dozens of camels, each carrying 136 kilograms (300 pounds) of gold. While in Cairo, Mansa Musa met with the Sultan of Egypt, and his caravan spent and gave away so much gold that the overall value of gold decreased in Egypt for the next 12 years.

Different region, but still, Africa is swimming in gold.
