The image depicts a group of people engaged in what appears to be a small-scale mining operation, possibly for gold or other minerals. Three people stand near inclined, black, corrugated sluice boxes under a corrugated metal roof supported by wooden beams. One person wears a black t-shirt with white writing on the back and green rubber boots while using a green sponge. To his right, one woman wears a long dark jacket over a patterned dress, and another person stands behind her. Another person wearing a red shirt and black rubber boots stands in a muddy, stepped concrete basin. Water flows from a blue pipe into the basin. The foreground is a mix of sand and soil. Bags, likely cement, are stacked behind the sluice boxes. In the background, a river can be seen. The location is Jos, Nigeria. The scene suggests manual labor involved in separating minerals from sediment.
