Hawaiian Volcanic Rocks Reveal Earth's Core Contains Vast Hidden Gold Reserves

Scientists stunned to find Earth’s core leaking gold and other precious metals

Over 99.99 per cent of Earth’s deposits of gold and other precious metals are locked away in its core

Tapping into the World's largest gold reserves

Earth's largest gold reserves are not kept inside Fort Knox, the United States Bullion Depository. In fact, they are hidden much deeper in the ground than one would expect. More than 99.999% of Earth's stores of gold and other precious metals lie buried under 3,000 km of solid rock, locked away within the Earth's metallic core and far beyond the reaches of humankind. Now, researchers have found traces of the precious metal Ruthenium (Ru) in volc…

Earth's core is leaking gold

Contrary to conspiracy theories, the Earth’s core isn’t hollow. The dense, hot ball instead contains a stew of precious metals including platinum, ruthenium, and pretty much all of the planet’s gold. As lucrative as that sounds, there’s essentially no way humanity will ever access this natural treasure chest buried beneath more than 1,850  feet of solid rock. But according to recent discoveries made at volcanoes in Hawai’i, trace amounts of some…

More than 99.99 % of the world’s gold and other precious metals deposits remain locked in the Earth’s core

Now, researchers at the University of Göttingen have found traces of the precious Ruthenian metal (Ru) on volcanic rocks of the Hawaiian islands, which originally had to come from the Earth's core.The findings were published in Nature.
