This photo taken on July 17, 2012 shows a small-scale miner standing inside a newly-opened mine tunnel at a site in the village of Mt. Diwata, in the town of Monkayo in the Compostela Valley, on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. Mt. Diwata or "Diwalwal" as it is commonly known, lies 70 kilometers north of the trading city of Davao, and accessible only via motorcycle. In the 1980's it was a logging area, but the discovery of gold by a tribesman turned it into a gold rush site, which drew labourers, farm workers, ex-soldiers and former guerrillas from all over the country, all seeking to get rich. The Philippines is believed to have some of the biggest mineral reserves in the world -- the government estimates the country has at least 840 billion USD in gold, copper, nickel, chromite, manganese, silver and iron ore deposits, but the minerals have been largely untapped, partly because of a strong anti-mining movement led by the influential Catholic Church.
