How Much Gold Is Left on Earth?
Humans have extracted over 200,000 tons of gold, primarily for jewelry and wealth storage. Despite this significant amount, substantial reserves remain untouched underground. Countries like Russia, Australia, and South Africa hold some of the largest untapped gold deposits. Meanwhile, China stands out as the leader in current gold production.
However, the majority of Earth’s gold lies deep within its core, making it impossible to get an accurate measurement of the gold that remains in the crust. This hidden treasure presents a fascinating aspect of our planet’s geology and wealth.
