'The eight individuals in the group produced on average three sacks of washed heterogenite ore per day...an income of roughly $1.05 per team member per day.'
The Copper Belt in the Congo —a 250-mile crescent from Kolwezi to northern Zambia—is the source of 10 percent of the world's copper as well as about half of the world's cobalt reserves.
The group was digging inside a 16-foot-deep pit about 20 feet wide. The younger boys dug with small shovels closer to the surface, while the men dug deeper into the claylike sediment. The bottom of the pit was submerged in about a foot of copper-colored water. The oldest member of the group was Faustin. He was lean and hardened, with a face compressed toward the center. He wore plastic slippers, olive trousers, a light tan T-shirt and a baseball cap.
I asked what kind of permit was required. Faustin was not sure of the details, only that it was too expensive for most artisanal miners. Philippe filled in the details."There are three different permits required for trans- porting ore. The price depends on how much ore is being transported and the distance it is transported."
