British Craig Notman has been a miner all his life and currently works in mine rescue. Now he's heading off to Mongolia to join the gold rush! As Mongolia becomes one of the fastest growing economies in the world thanks to its abundance of minerals, a large percentage of its population live in poverty. Desperate for a living, thousands of people head out into the wilderness to claim their stake in the country's gold deposits. Digging dangerous shafts into the often frozen earth, they risk death or serious injury every day for a few pounds worth of gold.
