A raw and riveting video posted by Instagram creator @miningempireblack has sparked curiosity online, showcasing the harsh realities and hidden treasures of hand-dug coal mining tunnels in South Asia. The clip, which features the discovery of gold, diamonds, and gemstones beneath the earth’s surface, is gaining traction among viewers fascinated by underground exploration.

In many parts of Asia, coal mining is still done manually due to limited access to expensive machinery. The process is gruelling, with miners working in narrow, unstable tunnels carved by hand. The coal extracted is often of low grade, fetching only around $70 per ton—a stark contrast to global market rates.

Coal mining by hand is very hard process in most of asian country is mined by hand due to lack of resources where machinery is very costly .the coal mined here is not of good quality the price per ton of the coal is only 70 dollers per ton which is very less.
