“I have been associated with copper ore and gold mining in the Philippines since 2012. During the course of my work, I was working closely with the local residents there. On May 5, 2015, the labour supervisor summoned me to the mining site after finding something unusual,” Hussain said. He said that he was shown two articles that were found on the mining spot and the same were taken out from the ground and cleaned with water.
