Leagold Mining Photography Project | Erich Saide
Leagold Mining - Los Filos Mining, Mexico
In earlier 2017, the Erich Saide photography team took a trip down to southern Mexico to capture and document the inner workings of the Mina Los Filos in Guerrero (one of the largest gold mines in the world!).
We were tasked with creating promotional and marketing material for the new owners - Leagold Mining Corporation - and to highlight some of the industry leading processes that occur there.
After a taxi-plane-car-private plane trip into the mountain tops near the mine (Indiana Jones style), we got straight to work capturing daily activities of the project.
It was an interesting adventure and we learned a whole lot about the inner workings of gold mining. The site has both open pits as well as an underground mines and we left no stone unturned.
From underground blasting to pouring the gold and everything in-between, we embedded ourselves into life on the mine and captured very interesting images that not just anybody has seen before.
