"Plants Which Might Grow Near Gold
The easiest and most common way of searching for gold is known as placer mining. This refers to finding gold found away from its original underground site and moved over time. Placer mining is most frequently done either at the bottom of streams or where streams used to flow. Cottonwood trees, which grow in wet areas will also grow over top of the areas where streams used to flow. Although an old stream bed may be dry on the surface, there may still be dampness underground. Even though the trees don’t necessarily indicate that gold is there, they (or any type of riparian plant for that matter) may help you to locate a placer gold source if you are in gold country.
One of the plants which often grow in areas over gold deposits is the horsetail plant. Horsetail plants were often used by miners in the past as a guide to where gold might be found. It can tolerate the existence of heavy metals in the soil, which has made people believe gold may be nearby. Ironically, the horsetail plant also had a practical use for prospectors during the gold rush. It was primarily used for washing pots and pans.
Buckwheats, another hint about possible nearby gold, can be found in parts of the Great Basin such as Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. There are several varieties which often grows in near gold and silver deposits. This is another plant that was traditionally used my miners as an indicator of potentially valuable deposits. We now know the reason why buckwheats may be an indicator for gold. It grows in soil that contains volcanic ash, which commonly exists in areas where ancient hydrothermal vents can produce gold.
The DESERT TRUMPET is another indicator that helps prospectors know where to look for gold. They require more mineralization in the soil than most desert plants. The red dirt the Desert Trumpet grows in is likely near heavy metals like gold. The Trumpet is most commonly found in arid parts of the American Southwest.
Big Sagebrush and Four Wing Saltbush have traditionally been used as indicator plants by gold prospectors in the US West. However, there was no proof of this beyond folk tales until the development of modern science. We now know that sagebrush absorbs metal. In particular, small traces of gold can be found in its roots and stems. Although the amount of gold inside of the plants is only microscopic, there is a greater amount the closer the plants are to a gold deposit. So, the old-timers were right, after all.
You have probably heard the old saying “money doesn’t grow on trees.” Well, like all such sayings that is not always exactly true. Scientists have discovered gold in the leaves of Eucalyptus trees in Australia. However, unlike the sagebrush in the US west, where the gold is close to the topsoil, a Eucalyptus tree may be growing more than 100 feet over the buried treasure. "

Lol- is that what 'believe in the trumpet' is in reference to a 'trumpet plant's. The world best discoveries and inventions were copied nature. Take apple for example.
I've been his board over a year and hadn't cottoned on.
XSG climbing in to the 2's.
Future bodes well
Last time Pet headed north it went from 5p to 15p in about a week or so.
I remember on the Monday morning at around 9am it had dropped from 5p to 3.5p then by lunch time was at about 7p.
Similar pattern today... could this be the start of another rise?...
Here it is
"FIRST GOLD AND SILVER POURED
Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM - GWMO, Euronext Growth - 8GW) is pleased to announce that it has poured first gold and silver and produced a doré bar as a pilot exercise using material from test spoil heaps on its Mineral Jackpot property in Mineral County, Nevada. The success of the trial proves the concept of being able to extract gold and silver from up to 12,000 tons of material available from 38 spoil heaps on the property.
This operation was carried out at a facility in Mineral County where an initial load of approximately 4 tonnes of material was crushed and has been processed through a local laboratory. In parallel, analysis of a consignment of the same material is being treated and analysed in a laboratory in the UK to determine the optimum method for producing precious metals on a sustainable commercial basis, first results of which are expected to become available later this month.
In addition to the spoil heaps at Mineral Jackpot (the generic name used for a group of five historic and neighbouring gold mines), recent soil, rock and magnetometer surveys have doubled the known surface area of mineralisation and established previously unknown connectivity between the different mines. Great Western plans to follow the veins with new drilling as soon as an appropriate rig suitable for use in the mountainous terrain becomes available and weather conditions permit.
The Company's claims in Mineral County cover approximately 17,000 acres. A substantial inferred and indicated resource of copper has already been established while numerous gold and silver prospects on the claims include spoil heaps for reprocessing as well as potential new veins to be drilled. Great Western's first drilling targets in 2021 are planned for the Rock House (RH) group and the Olympic Gold project, both of which have been extensively surveyed in 2020.
Great Western's chairman Brian Hall commented: "Pouring first gold and silver is a significant event for your company and we are very pleased to have met our stated objective for 2020. With the knowledge we have gained from this pilot exercise, which is still ongoing, and with first results from laboratory analysis due this month, we will be able to plan for commercial exploitation of precious metals as well as commence a new drill programme. We are well funded for our current requirements."
I've just read the post concerning sharesoc.
Ive resigned myself to my eye watering loss of over a 100k on SXX.
I cant really see them getting very with the claim but might as see what's what. The last share offering of 15p to share holders followed soon after by the 5p deal was a particularly sour pill for shareholders to swallow.
