Want to read about a tough gold mining regime consider the Andes - and Peru.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/photography/2019/06/21/mining-gold-worlds-highest-permanent-human-settlement/?utm_term=.ee3cd33c944d

The mining in La Rinconada District is about as difficult as can be imagined - fist the altitude- 17,700 feet above sea level - well above the altitude where oxygen is required for aviators -then the squalid conditions in the towns that supplies the housing but no running water or sewers. Then they pay - there is none - workers spend 30 days working for the mining company and are given one day to mine for themselves.

Read the article and it'll make our exploration activity in Finland sound like a Caribbean resort. Oh, yeah, the mercury -workers in Peru live with it, breathe and and ingest it.
