In this April 10, 2012 photo, Daniel Hachey, president resources MAJESCOR, left, and geologist Francisque Pierre, right, examine samples of stone for minerals and metals at a drill site in the department of Trou Du Nord, Haiti. Haiti's land may yet hold the solution to centuries of poverty: there is gold hidden in its hills, and silver and copper too. Now, two mining companies are drilling around the clock to determine how to get those metals out, and how much it might cost. (AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery)
