#Brazil #GoldMining #GoldRush #SocialMedia #Influencers: "Brazilian creators on TikTok and YouTube are documenting a modern-day gold rush. Among them is Garimpeiro Solitário, who has become somewhat of a mining influencer. His point-of-view (POV) videos show him using metal detectors and going river-diving for gold, giving viewers a glimpse into the garimpeiro (prospector) lifestyle. Several are chock-full of close-ups of rubies, garnets, and gold. In one post, the unnamed creator claims he once earned roughly $40,000 in just three weeks of mining — the Brazilian monthly wage is $560.
“I’m making more than $5,000 a day in nature,” he says in the YouTube video. “The amount of gold in these rivers is still unknown. To get it, you need to be brave.”
Garimpeiro Solitário launched his YouTube channel in 2015, and now has over 200,000 subscribers. But it’s his TikTok account, launched years later in June 2021, that has quickly blown up, recently surpassing 600,000 followers. The most popular of his POV videos on TikTok has over 10.6 million views."

This is a good deal, if it goes through.
There is an ill-considered profit-motive proposal for a massive gold exploration project just north of Pactola dam in the Black Hills of South Dakota that could be disastrous for public recreation, household wells, and endangered wildlife.

@cabinguy Still going strong today. Debris and open pits left behind, waste, ponds, unsightly and abandoned over and over.

A MINING LAWSUIT IN GUATEMALA SHOWS HOW TRADE COURTS PUT LOCALS LAST
The state relied on affected communities to mount a legal defense, but now it’s trying to bypass them to open the mine.
By Ana Sandoval
A Nevada-based mining firm is suing Guatemala for more than $400 million, the first suit of its kind for the impoverished Central American country.
