PadangA hillside collapse killed four illegal gold miners on 6 October.

Walhi counts 52 miner deaths in West Sumatra in 15 years and says the true toll is higher.

Gold peaked above $5,600 an ounce in January, and a village head says that draws young men.

Police raided forests and seized excavators, but some mines resumed once inspectors left.

Authorities in Indonesia are pursuing special licences to bring informal mines into the formal sector.
