Due to the 'laying' of the tree, the company in Australia carries the leaves for analysis
By analyzing the leaves near the Northern Australian region of Coober Pedy, the Marmota exploration company hopes to find gold from the leaves.
The CEO of Marmota, David Wills, said the upcoming tests will help detect gold mines deep in the ground easier than conventional soil samples.
Eucalyptus in Australia has the ability to absorb gold from the ground and transfer it to the leaves.
In 2013, scientists at the Australian Federal Institute of Science and the CSIRO industrial research organization discovered that Australian eucalyptus plants were able to absorb gold from underground and then transfer them to branches and leaves. .
'' Specifically, the roots of this eucalyptus are very strong, they act like hydraulic pumps that can plunge tens of meters deep underground to find water for plants. In this process, they will absorb gold crystals and transfer them to parts of the plant , 'ABC News said.
Australian scientists have been studying this issue for many years, but not many people think about exploiting gold mines by analyzing leaves to assess the possibility of precious metal mines in the land where the species this live. And Marmota is one of them.
"We hope to find more, because sometimes the soil samples taken for analysis cannot give a full view of what lies underground. Leaf samples will be taken to one. specialized laboratory for testing , " said David.
