Earth’s core rich with reservoir of gold that could be worth $169.6 sextillion and it’s leaking towards the surface
Scientists have discovered that Earth’s core contains an unimaginable fortune—approximately $169.6 sextillion worth of gold, according to AI calculations. Research from Göttingen University reveals that traces of this precious metal are slowly leaking through the mantle toward the surface. While the core holds enough gold to blanket all land in a 20-inch layer, extracting it remains impossible with current technology.
AI estimates suggest the core holds 1.6 quadrillion tons of gold, but bringing it to market would crash its value. Geochemists note that volcanic activity, like in Hawaii, shows small amounts of core material reaching the surface over millennia. This discovery not only hints at Earth’s hidden riches but also reshapes our understanding of the planet’s deep geological processes.
