== Discovery ==
This website was posted by a new ETS member named p.l.a.n.t on Probably intended to be found through [http://www.echoingthesoundthemailstrom.org/phpbbxcom/viewtopicusurp_397W4P.php?t=23059 thishtm the Mailstrom shard Usurp] thread. The users name is , Mining For Life was indexed by Google and found through a practical joke referencing the fact that 42 Entertainment doesn't use planted forum members to further their gameGoogle search. Full details about the discovery are forthcomming. However, at the time of discovery the website shows only a characteristic YZ website background and the following text:
Pilgrim Stream: 24.22 Data in transit -== Content ==
== Background text ==This site is for Anglo-Johnson (A-J), a company "54% controlled by [[Cedocore]]"[http://www.miningforlife.com/invest.htm]. A-J offers "life-saving options for families in South Africa" by providing a secure place to stay and the possibility of employment if donating healthy tissue. Corneas, kidneys, blood, bone marrow, and skin are requested.
The background text is from Shawshank Redemption:Tissue donation, what's referred to as "conversion" on the site, earns donors "free snacks and beverages." Payment also includes "A-J certificates," all offered in pounds and only "good on company property."
Both employees and non-employees are welcome to donate. Employees are warned: "Brooks Hatlen knew itpayment will be withheld if employee is suspended or released from employment during the payment period. Knew it all too well" [http://www.miningforlife. All I want is to be back where things make sensecom/employees. Where I won't have to be afraid all the timehtm] Non-employees, if giving more than blood, are promised: "preferential consideration for donor or any member of immediate family for employment byAnglo-Johnson."[http://www.miningforlife.com/live.htm]
The [[Exterminal]]However, [[Free Rebel Art]] and [[Viability Index]] websites have the same text in home pages states the background, however following:"Currently we are running at full employment with a long waiting list of fully qualified applicants. We do not expect to be accepting applications for the words and letters used are differentnext 18 months."
== CD Release ==The home pages also hints at another interpretation of the name of the site: "Platinum Mining, providing the world with platinum for beauty, palladium for manufacturing and electronics." This site indicates plans to not only mine for organs, but for certain elements as well. Further information, a possible purpose for mining palladium, is found in[http://www.themailstrom.com/usurp_397W4P.htm the Mailstrom shard Usurp]
It is possible that because this site is mentioned in the CD booklet, that it will not be live until the CD is released in the United States.
