There was a year in which I had the curiosity to go in too, to see what was inside [and] how they extracted [the mineral]. The people who go out with a cart, taking out the mineral, they said, “Cathy, get in the cart here and you're going to see how we work.” I went in, inside the cart. It's all dark and we were in there with the tunnels, the alleys. It’s like that all the time. They come in and they drill. And there is a kind of mailbox, where they throw all the mineral and the ore, and they take it to the cart. I saw everything myself. They told me, “It starts like this, the thread starts to grow ‘betas’…” And they told me, “These are ‘betas’, look how they grow.” I saw and it’s like threads all over, and then thicker, so thick. And I said, “How can this be?” – Cathy
