| Description: | One section of Siberia is among the richest gold-producing areas in the world. The Soviet's highly-mechanized, modern mining methods pay off to the tune of a half-billion dollars worth each year. A panoramic shot of the Siberian countryside. A bulldozer pushes earth into a pit. The operator stares straight ahead. A high-pressure hose shots water at a dirt bank. A worker is shown in close-up. Close-up of the water hitting dirt and rock within a collection bin. Muddy water and rock are washed down a toroth. A giant dredge sits in a still pond. A discharge shut spills water into the pond. Massive buckets lift dirt upward. Women work the final gold washing station with brushes. Three women pour gold nuggets into a sac. Close-up of the gold falling. Fingers work to position the gold bag in a wooden box. | |
