This week Mike Collier talks to academic and researcher Mark Gamsa about an extraordinary subject that has never been seriously studied until now – an incredible gold rush on the borders of Russia and China reminiscent of the Klondike and Yukon gold rushes, but with its own specific Eurasian characteristics.
