Linacre, “Cultivation on Naturally Enriched Areas”, in Ecological Risks of Novel Environmental Crop Technologies Using Phytoremediation as an Example (EPT Discussion Paper; 133), Washington, D.C.: Environment and Production Technology Division, International Food Policy Research Institute, →OCLC, page 14:

     Cultivation of hyperaccumulators on naturally enriched areas offers the greatest promise for use in phytomining. Phytomining is a more specific form of phytoremediation where the purpose of metal removal from soil is economic gain.

     The three metals, nickel, thallium and gold were reported as candidates for phytomining in 1999 owing to the relatively high price that each metal commands on international commodity markets.

     Added value to the phytoextraction process could be obtained by combining the biomass produced as an energy source, resulting in an ore after incinerating the residual biomass. This would be possible in the case of phytomining, a particular example of phytoextraction. Phytomining involves the exploitation of subeconomic ore bodies using hyperaccumulating plants.
