Gold Above Ground
Byzantium,
How much gold is above ground? The commonly accepted numbers seem low to me.
World Gold Council says 171K tonnes (end of 2010) (3) The US Geological Survey says 124K tonnes were ADDED to above-ground supply from 1900 through 2010. (1) and (2)
To me, this says that all of the mining in the whole world for thousands of years up until 1900, including the gold rushes accumulated less than 171-124 = 47K tonnes!
Lowest gold above ground number I see is 120K Tonnes (8)galmarley and the highest is 2000K Tonnes (11)Fulford's Asian secret society
I believe the vatican and others have significant gold mined before 1900.
