Gold Mining in Kenya: Supporting Local Miners & Reducing Mercury Use with Shaker Tables & Sluices

Рет қаралды 666,681

Жыл бұрын

Join us on two trips to western Kenya in 2018 and 2019, where we visit small hand-dug gold mines and work with local miners to improve their practices. We donate sluices and set up a shaker table to increase gold recovery while reducing the use of mercury, a toxic substance commonly used in small-scale mining. See the dangers and challenges faced by women and children involved in mining and learn about the risks associated with working underground. This video provides an educational and eye-opening look into the world of small-scale gold mining in Kenya.

Nice compilation of your former work Jason. I spent about 5 years mining in equatorial Africa in several different countries and always found the locals at the mine site to be wonderful human beings. Bandits on the road or shysters in the cities were a different thing. One alluvial diamond mine I worked at had an issue with artisans who were 'Grandfathered' on the licence. I drilled off the river to the south of us and proved that the placer went well west of our boundary so I took a few of the senior village gents out and showed them exactly where the survey line was. I waved my arm and said that 'all of this is open to you.' They dug a crater the size of three football fields in about six months and brought me most of those diamonds to buy from them.

I enjoyed exploring all of adventure until one day I was working in the Forrest surrounding Perth's south Western Australia we were called for a RED ACTION meaning a Forrest wild fire 🔥 34 hours later on a 4X4 Tanker working the bottom flank with a Dozer putting in a fire break when the wind changed direction and now we were directly in front of the wild fire completely out of control. We hunker down in the truck spreading woollen blankets over us,I remember having my life playing out and every emotion being revisited how I wished I had said I love you to my parents more and this lump in my throat that I couldn't quite swallow, as the fire burned over our truck I was at peace. Our mirrors were burnt off and everything got scolded but we lived. I definitely made the changes in my life that were more important to me. Some things turned out great Some didn't sa la vi

Either way, thank you for sharing your shaker table and sluices with the miners. Just think about how much gold they have lost through the years. This equipment will help them tremendously and bring some ease to back-breaking tasks. Don't even get me started on the mercury use!!! As an RN for 30 years, there has been a case in which a patient almost died by mercury poisoning. The BP meter was broken... no one knew. Every time the patient had her BP checked, tiny balls of mercury ran out the top and onto her bed. The point is that mercury = increased chance of poisoning every time it touches your skin.

This was truly a great video. I like all your stuff because it's entertaining and educational, but this was even more--a big part of that is the humanity present, and kudos on trying to help people get away from using mercury! Some of that was hard to watch, speaking empathetically, and hopefully the people will see that they don't need the mercury (and have some understanding of just how toxic it is). I can only imagine how hard that was to be around those kids while some of this stuff was going on (let alone just people in general being around it) but also can appreciate that you can't just come in and start telling people "No, you're doing it wrong"--especially as an outsider. All you can do is show them, and hope they see. This was a fascinating look into not just gold mining in Africa, but another culture and how they live their lives, as far as supporting themselves and their families. Also, the one man who said his company only takes 2 bags of the 4 that that miner produced and lets him keep 2 , because it wouldn't be right to take most of it, as he has a family and has to live too, could teach many US companies something about being humane and not strictly ruled by greed. Finally, that gold market at the end was Insane, ha! Thanks again--it was over too soon for me. Peace.

Very insightful, and entertaining too. I hope the Kenyans managed to fund a lot of the basic sluices - hopefully having seen the potential they will move over to a mercury free system, and that others will see and do so too. I understand that you're looking at this venture with one eye on the commercial aspects, but even if they produce their own kit your time was very well spent. Great all round.

Thank you for sharing that, Jason! It was fun to watch with my morning coffee, and the people are so amazing! They're so ingenious and were soaking up everything you could teach - and I think you may have learned a thing or two as well 🤯 I look forward to seeing more of your adventures, wherever you go...

Awesome video Jason. I really like it when we can see how things are done in undeveloped countries. I wonder about their surprise when they see how well the newer equipment works. I’m sure there are holdouts who like the old lol. I’ve seen that here. Please keep bringing us along with you to see more of this stuff. Thank you.
