Kyrgyzstan has some of the world's largest gold deposits.
While the country exports a lot of it, people in rural and underdeveloped parts od Kyrgyzstan reap little benefit.
High unemployment means some have turned to illegal panning for gold, especially during the harsh winter months.

Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from the Kyrgyz town of Naryn.
