	Description:		Special Investigation: In the heat and dirt of northern Ghana, a Chinese company stands accused of stealing millions in gold from a neighbouring Australian mine in a brazen heist that left dozens of locals dead. For centuries, miners have come from around the world to make their fortune by tapping into the rich veins of gold that run through this ancient terrain. It’s an area of extremes: scorching heat, unbearable humidity and poverty for local Ghanaians… all in stark contrast to the vast riches that lie beneath. Now, a year-long investigation by the Herald and the Age has uncovered a bitter and deadly dispute over claims of trespass, theft and death. North Asia Correspondent Eryk Bagshaw joins Chris Paine to unpack this extraordinary tale.
