Mr. Jean Louis prospecting on the open pit

I was teaching miners how to use “Testio” which is Swahili word from Tanzania for the small black metallic gold pan that Tanzanian artisanal miners use to prospect for gold in rocks. Sadly that technology is not known in this part of Uganda. Miners did learn something, and need more training to start implementing the methods properly.

They were advised to use the mortar and pestle and frequently check for gold in various rocks and the soil excavated.
