Mitä tarkoittaa

Placer tarkoittaa maantieteellistä aluetta, jossa on kerätty resursseja, erityisesti mineraaleja, kuten kultaa. Placer-keräys on erityisesti kultakaivostoiminnassa käytetty menetelmä, jossa kultaa etsitään ja kerätään vesistöjen läheisyydestä, kuten jokien ja purojen pohjasta, hiekasta ja muista sedimenttiaineksista. Tämä menetelmä hyödyntää veden virtausta kultahippujen erottamiseksi raskaammista mineraaleista. Placer-kultaa voi löytyä myös muista luonnollisista lähteistä, ja se on usein helpommin saavutettavissa kuin syvemmällä maaperässä oleva kulta.

This is a “placer” sheep, as it is called. The prerequisites to this condition are that the young sheep must be still nursing, but must have begun to nibble grass. It must be the young of a mother that has been somewhat isolated, away from the corral and away from the herd, by herself out on the prairie. Now, when the mother dies, the lamb remains close to the mother′s body(..).
