00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:03,900


2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,800


3
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:13,700
Hello guys, welcome back to my channel.

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,600
This is one of the most important place in 
Africa. Gold mines.

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:23,500
We'll see how they are retrieving gold from 
the mines. I have bought Michael

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,400
and florence with me. Two kids are collecting 
gold now.

7
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:33,300
We'll see how they are doing it.

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,200


9
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:43,100


10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,000
After collecting the soil they put it into 
that. Do they have anything now?

11
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:52,900
Just show me. Is it inside?

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,800


13
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:02,700
You can see they have taken some gold.

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,600
They have put it in a box.

15
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:12,500


16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,400
Nice. It is very small.

17
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:22,300
This is the procedure which you see. Her 
name is florence.

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,200
She is a female guide in Kalthunga tours. 
You know michael already.

19
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:32,100
We are with them today to visit gold mines.

20
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,000
They finished and are taking taking rest 
so we are heading to a next place.

21
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:41,900


22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,800


23
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:51,700


24
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,600


25
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:01,500


26
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,400
See, from here they take gold from the sand.

27
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:11,300
Michael has gone inside. I don't know what 
he is going to do.

28
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Michael come out.

29
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:21,100


30
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Take this light inside.

31
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:30,900


32
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,800


33
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:40,700


34
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,600


35
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:50,500


36
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,400


37
00:02:55,500 --> 00:03:00,300


38
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,200


39
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:10,100


40
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Did you see anything? It is very long.

41
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:19,900
Got any gold? No gold but I saw underneath.

42
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,800


43
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:29,700
It is really deep. They dig holes here to 
collect gold.

44
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,600
The tunnels go till there underground. They 
go through it

45
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:39,500
collect sand, wash it and then separate gold.

46
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,400
Sometimes they get struck inside itseems. 
Many have died too.

47
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:49,300
Michael have gone this much inside.

48
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,200
He couldn't go further, it was long itseems.

49
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:59,100


50
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,000


51
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:08,900
It is very hard to take the video here.

52
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,800
They have taken the mud from inside and rinsing 
it now using water

53
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:18,700
They have to go a long way to bring water 
from the river.

54
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,600


55
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:28,500
How much do they get per person?

56
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,400
It is not like that.

57
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:38,300
Sometimes they get very little

58
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,200
and this is the procedure to do it

59
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:48,100
Ask her how much she gets

60
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,000
They don't get very much

61
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:57,900
Just asking how much she got before

62
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,800


63
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:07,700


64
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,600


65
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:17,500


66
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,400


67
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:27,300
They are dissolving all the mud and sand 
in the water

68
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,200


69
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:37,100


70
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,000


71
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:46,900


72
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,800
How long will it take this process?

73
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:56,700
It depends actually.

74
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,600


75
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:06,500
They don't make much by doing this.

76
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,400
The highest money they get

77
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:16,300
May be around 150 to 300

78
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,200


79
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:26,100


80
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,000


81
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:35,900
Will they throw it away? No they won't

82
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,800
This one. Yes it is wasted.

83
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,700


84
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,600


85
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:55,500
How will they know there is not any gold 
in it?

86
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,400
Because the gold is already mixed in the 
water

87
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:05,300
and over time it will sink down.

88
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,200
They mix all the mud in water and the gold 
will settle down slowly.

89
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:15,100
So they throw away these stones on the top.

90
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,000


91
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:24,900


92
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,800


93
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:34,700


94
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,600


95
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:44,500


96
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,400


97
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:54,300


98
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,200


99
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:04,100


100
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,000


101
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:13,900


102
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,800


103
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:23,700


104
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,600


105
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:33,500


106
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,400


107
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:43,300


108
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,200


109
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:53,100


110
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,000
If you see here,

111
00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:02,900
the gold must have settled in the bottom 
from the mud collected.

112
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,800


113
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:12,700


114
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,600


115
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:22,500


116
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,400


117
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:32,300


118
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,200


119
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:42,100
They wash even the last bit thoroughly.

120
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,000
There will be pieces.

121
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:51,900


122
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,800


123
00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:01,700
If you see here, this area is completely

124
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,600
for gold mining. You can see more boxes everywhere.

125
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:11,500
This where they take the mud.

126
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,400
It is difficult to film here.

127
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:21,300
By hearing the sound you'll know.

128
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,200


129
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:31,100
They have dug a big tunnel.

130
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,000
There are steps. They just go down to collect 
the mud.

131
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:40,900


132
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,800


133
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:50,700


134
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,600
This is where they pull the mud up from down.

135
00:10:55,700 --> 00:11:00,500


136
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,400


137
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:10,300


138
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,200


139
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:20,100
They have bought the mud from below and mixing 
it with the water here.

140
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,000
After mixing it, they strain it down in search 
of the gold.

141
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:29,900
They mix it well to remove the stones.

142
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,800


143
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:39,700


144
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,600
They do it with ease.

145
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:49,500


146
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,400


147
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:59,300
There is no gold in this.

148
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,200


149
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:09,100
After finding small pieces of gold, they 
pure it in separate container.

150
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,000
They keep it here in this.

151
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:18,900
They work whole day and by evening they segregate 
whatever they collect.

152
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,800
This one is going very big down there.

153
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:28,700


154
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,600
How is the experience?

155
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:38,500


156
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,400
He has married three times itseems.

157
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:48,300
Three times.

158
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,200
First wife has 6 children, second one with 
3 children.

159
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:58,100
She has one children.

160
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,000
So how many more he is planning actually?

161
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:07,900


162
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,800


163
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:17,700
He says his woman is reaching to the limit

164
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,600
near menopause, so that's it. Enough.

165
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:27,500


166
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,400


167
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:37,300


168
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,200
So can i know their age?

169
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:47,100


170
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,000
He is 42 years old. The woman?

171
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:56,900


172
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,800
She is 23. You michael?

173
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:06,700
I am 25. You?

174
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,600
I am 24 but almost entering 25 by June.

175
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:16,500
I am 26.

176
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,400
How old is she?

177
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:26,300


178
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,200


179
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:36,100
She is almost 9 years.

180
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,000
You can see it is hollow everywhere. They 
are joined underground.

181
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:45,900
They dig from the deep.

182
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,800
From there only they get the gold.

183
00:14:50,900 --> 00:14:55,700
It is everywhere around here. They do it 
here a lot.

184
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,600
There also they are doing it.

185
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:05,500
Here also you can see. They divide in groups 
and do it.

186
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,400
This how they get the gold.

187
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:15,300
They get only in small pieces not huge like 
we see in movies.

188
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,200
Like a small dot they get. When they collect 
more grams.

189
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:25,100
after 10 days or more they give to some agents 
here

190
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,000
They sell to them and the agents then sell 
to some factories.

191
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:34,900
The people in this community can only mine 
gold. Not others.

192
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,800
Even if you want to take, you are not allowed. 
Only these people can.

193
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:44,700
From here there are lot of places like this. 
We are in the kenya border.

194
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,600
I went there. But due to dry season they 
are not taking there.

195
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:54,500
So we came here to film the process.

196
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,400
Taking video here is very risky. Without 
the guide it is very difficult.

197
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:04,300


198
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,200
Water is available only if you go for 2 kms. 
They bring it carrying upon their heads.

199
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:14,100
They use that water for finding gold.

200
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,000
They need to get it from there daily. This 
is their job.

201
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:23,900
Whoever from their community can do this. 
The government doesn't care.

202
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,800
That is how they do it here.

203
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:33,700
They need not get any approval from the government.

204
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,600
Like agriculture, they do it as their occupation.

205
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:43,500
This is their routine.

206
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,400
I hope you found this video useful, if any 
doubts

207
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:53,300
feel free to comment below, I'll clarify.

208
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,200
This is actually made out of millet

209
00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:03,100


210
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,000
You get it in a straw.

211
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:12,900
How are you?

212
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,800
This is lady Jenifer, my aunty.

213
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:22,700
These are the straws.

214
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,600
It also has filters.

215
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:32,500
They keep this and drink from this.

216
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,400


217
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:42,300


218
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:47,200
This is Mahowa.

219
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:52,100
This is made of millet,

220
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,000
corn and yeast.

221
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:01,900
Like corn bread and then add yeast to it.

222
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,800


223
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:11,700
They do all these with millet, corn and yeast.

224
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,600


225
00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:21,500


226
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,400
Like in the last video we saw the beer of 
Karamojong,

227
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:31,300
this one wasn't so drowsy. But they said 
it will be.

228
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,200
I drank very little. It was like powder. 
They use this filter straw to drink it.

229
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:41,100
It is a natural straw.

230
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,000
It is very good for health they say.

231
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:50,900
They drink this every morning and evening 
here. I saw myself.

232
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,800
It tastes like water.

233
00:18:55,900 --> 00:19:00,700
It is hot and nice

234
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,600
They pour hot water so it is warm.

235
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:10,500
Can you show the filter?

236
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,400
What kind of filter is this?

237
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:20,300


238
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,200


239
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:30,100
It is good.

240
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,000


241
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:39,900


242
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,800


243
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:49,700
It looks like a straw. I don't know what 
plant it is.

244
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,600
I don't know whether we can find any in our 
country. How long can we keep this?

245
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:59,500
This has been there for one year.

246
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,400


247
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:09,300
You wash it and use. Yes. actually it can 
be for more than 6 months.

248
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,200


249
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:19,100
They recycle and use itseems.

250
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,000
If you know the name of this, tell me in 
the comments below.

251
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:28,900


252
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,800
If you like this video, please like and comment.

253
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:38,700
If you come here by Kalthunga tours, you 
can see this. You can't see all this if you 
come solo.

254
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,600
This is the most cheapest tour package.

255
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:48,500
I will tell the price in the last video.

256
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:48,900
