Image description

Malaysian Chee Meng, 47, holds pieces of tantalum after digging it up in Butterworth, in the northern Malaysian island state of Penang, on April 18, 2001. The diggers are playing hide-and-seek with police for a chance to unearth tantalum, a mineral dumped as mining waste decades ago but today considered valuable enough to risk a life. Two men and a young mother died earlier in April when a floor caved in as they dug for the mineral, which used mainly to make capacitors.
