Tin Mining on Bangka Island as Vampire Miners Hamper Indonesia's Efforts to Curb Tin Slump

Workers operate a wooden raft to dredge for tin ore off the coast of Bangka Island, Indonesia, on Thursday, July 30, 2015. The islands of Bangka and Belitung produce more than 90 percent of the tin in Indonesia, which is the world's biggest exporter of the metal. Most of that production comes from mining companies but pits those operators abandon and more marginal deposits are worked illegally by men and children.
