Gold mining

Sagada Province is rich in minerals, including gold. A few photos of the booty. Gold ore is transported on trolleys from the mine, the entrance to which is located in the middle of the height of the hill. Ore is dumped from the trolleys and all workers begin to disassemble the lumps of soil with their hands. I think they are trying to find nuggets.
After that, the ore is packed in bags and lifted onto a hill, where motor vehicles can already reach.
The skeleton of an old truck is used as an engine for the lift.
Gold bags are awaiting shipment.
