Most of the worlds miners are artisanal, millions still do this for a living present day.

Often you can pay a nominal amount to go down into their (illegal) mine. I did get stuck because my western legs were to long to climb out the 10m shaft, I'd go to step into the leghold dug in the red earth but my knee would hit the side.

The reporter who shut down Kala is a pretty awful person (from their past work). Everyone following knew Kala wasn't going to have the paperwork. The reporter enjoyed going about it in a nasty way, which is sad, but that's a lot of todays media.

There are other tunneling TikToks out there.
