The World's Biggest Mining Scam

Available for over a year

Twenty years ago the mining sector suffered its biggest ever fraud. Millions were lost when investors financed development of a non-existent gold mine. Could it happen again? The story has now been released as a Hollywood film called 'Gold'. Presenter Manuela Saragosa speaks to John McBeth, formerly of the Far Eastern Economic Review, and Jay Solomon of the Wall Street Journal, about how they broke the story and uncovered the fraud, and asks whether it could happen again.
