Local residents pan for gold in a creek bed near Dinkidi Hill in Didipio town, the site of a future large scale gold and copper mine, 270km (168 miles) north of Manila September 19, 2007. The sector's poor environmental record and its failure to share out profits during the local industry's heyday in the 1960s and 1970s have left people deeply distrustful of large-scale miners and has tripped up government efforts to attract billions of dollars in mining investments.
