The Archaeus is said to push metal upward through a hidden passage, while thin metallic leaves adhering to rock like talc provide another favourable mining sign. Cuniculus names the passage and folia the leaf-like form, not a botanical plant growing in the mine. The examples extend signature through material emergence and visible attachment, within the source’s historical prospecting claims.
