Welcome - A team of scientists in Perth, Western Australia, has discovered gold particles on the leaves, twigs and tree bark of eucalyptus, which they claim would have a major impact on gold mining.

Gold is a precious metals whose value is worth gold for this one can only be obtained from mining, however, what would happen if there was a tree that could be producing gold? Australia scientists managed to find a tree that produces gold in the leaves of trees that scientists found this is a type of eucalyptus tree. The tree itself is found scientists at Western Australia.
Scientists who do research on this tree were surprised because on this tree foliage turns out to contain gold, any scientists feel wonder and do some research.
Eucalyptus is known to absorb water containing particles of gold from the Earth through the roots and store them in the leaves and stems. Team of researchers the CSIRO (Australia's science agency) suspect, trees, which grow above the gold reserves far below ground, gold sucking while searching for moisture during the dry season.

Dr. Lintern says, even 500 trees that grow above a gold reserves would only produce enough for a wedding ring.
Although the amount found is small, their presence can indicate the gold ore deposits buried up to tens of meters under the ground. In addition, this plant can also indicate the presence of buried gold ores with age up to 60 million years old.
Mel Lintern research leaders say some types of Eucalypt have roots that can penetrate the ground to a depth of 30 metres up to the sedimentary rocks containing gold. The tree grows to a height of more than 10 meters such as hydraulic pump, sucking water containing gold.
The discovery, which is the first in the world and the first time the gold particles found in living things, clear fishing interest among major gold mining and exploration sector. A former geochemist from Newmont Mining, Nigel Radford, said the implications for gold exploration is huge. According to him, gold exploration is likely to be much faster and cheaper.
