The Life of a Miner In Colombia | Mine Hunters

meanwhile outside fred is using his
experience in large commercial gold
mines to build a system that can protect
the area around the mine so basically
what’s happening here is we’ve got a lot
of water drainage out of the mine and
with the water’s coming heavy metals
specifically iron so you can see how
orange this is and reddish color and
that’s the iron in iron can carry some
bad things with it and cause the water
to be acidic so basically we don’t want
this water to directly flow into the
river which is right over there so we
want to do is build a set pond a
sediment pond is a still pool created to
slow down the movement of heavy metals
and toxins carried in running water from
here all the way around to meet up with
these that’s the first step local minor
denial is lending his muscle to the task
what we’re trying to do is slow the
water down so that the iron which you
can see the red on the rocks stays in
the pond and then the clean water goes
to the river
how long you been a miner as a pair of
taking funny did you ever get unlucky
enough to get caught up in the the wars
and the violence en mi vida mi narrow
yeah esto no problema ko samui terribles
gravis y de Sol acordarme pays me a coma
esta la frio pero puedo respirar
tranquilo aqui le pont a invite a poor
siente mal dad pero la gente por Cinco
pagina de Henares yeah yo Banda sea
thanks for having us we gotta bring
needs a today see
I can’t imagine mining in a time where
you know it’s kind of like the wild wild
west where you don’t know what you’re
gonna show up to every day at the mine
is there gonna be someone there wanting
to take it from you are you gonna have
to run for your life but times are
changing here Devore’s is turning a page
so it’s it’s cool to be on the forefront
of that
