How much gold is there in the world?
SMRTR summary
Gold, formed when neutron stars collide, is rare on Earth. Humans have mined about 206,000-238,000 tons of gold, with 70,550 tons still in economically viable deposits. Most gold is in Earth's core, enough to coat the planet in a 1.6-foot layer. The crust contains about 441 million tons of gold particles, but 99% remains locked in the core, unreachable by current mining methods.
