January 24, 1848 was when James Wilson Marshall found flakes of gold near Coloma, California. That immediately started a gold rush,…

However I am going to focus on just a single problem that is afflicting the Congo. This problem is mining. Mining itself if not the problem, but it is what the people are doing in order to reach these minerals that is the problem. Entire villages are wiped out in order to get to what they need. Murder, rape, and forced labor are not strangers in this…

Mine was the largest gold mine in the western hemisphere, and it was the United States’ longest continuously operating mine until it closed in 2002.

I believe with the help of the World Bank investing in new mining techniques this would be beneficial to both the country as well as for the farmers.…
