Eastern DRC, South Kivu. Villagers has discovered a treasure mountain. The soil is 90% gold, the whole mountain is gold! Its like Eldorado the land of gold! People are digging and just taking the soil to their homes, the gold to be washed and then smelted into dory.
Amazing! This will help lift a lot of people out of poverty, if they can keep their government's hands off of it.
All praise to the most high God, the possessor of the heavens and the earth! THIS DISCOVERY CHANGES EVERYTHING! What will this do to the world's economy? What will this do to the price of Gold? Will the United States invade the Congo and seize their Gold? Think not, consider Libya.
Get Silver! This find makes Gold less valuable than it was 3 weeks ago. No wonder the price of Gold has been falling lately. Knowledge is power. Act accordingly.

KINSHASA, Congo - More than 50 people are dead after landslides caused the collapse of three artisanal gold mines near the city of Kamituga in eastern Congo’s South Kivu province on Friday, officials said.
Heavy rains for days led to the disaster.
“The diggers and the transporters of the stones were swallowed up by the waters,” said the Kamituga mayor, Alexandre Bundya. “A team of rescuers with motor pumps came to recover the bodies of the victims.”
Diwa Honoré, who survived the tragedy, said more than 50 people had been in the three mines, which are about 50 meters (54 yards) deep.
"Kamituga is in mourning,” wrote Dieudonné Bazika, sharing a video on social media showing the aftermath. Hundreds of people gathered to observe and help in rescue efforts.
Most of the dead were young people, according to a statement from the office of the governor of South Kivu, Theo Ngwabidje Kasi, who offered condolences to families.
“Investigations continue to identify our deceased compatriots, to provide assistance and to take measures to prevent the recurrence of such tragedies,” the statement said.
Artisanal mining quarries are often unsafe in eastern Congo and the Kasai region. Women and children also work in the mines to make ends meet. Deadly collapses occurred earlier this year in Maniema and in Katanga, killing at least 18 people.
