How much gold is found on earth?
It is estimated that there are about 197,576 metric tons of gold that has been mined and is above ground, with the total amount of gold mined throughout history being around 190,000 metric tons. It is difficult to estimate the total amount of gold still in the earth's crust, but it is believed to be significantly more than what has been mined.

Was gold found in central otago?
Yes, much gold was found in the broad Central Otago region. Most of this was alluvial, with the parent source being the rich ores of Shotover and Arrow during earlier eras when the landscapes were vastly different. There was some ore gold won however, notably from the Bendigo field, and in modern times, from Macraes. There was a minor ore field near Oturehua.
How is gold formed in rock?
Gold is not "formed" in rock so much as it will tend to concentrate under certain geologic conditions. We see evidence of gold grains in some rivers, and nuggets in some rock formations. There are also veins of gold that are frequently associated with quartz in some rock strata. This native gold has a good amount of silver in with it. There are massive quantities of gold floating around in sea water, but on the atomic level, and, as such, are not recoverable. Remember that gold is an element, and it isn't "made" or "formed" in nature so much as it is a part of the "mix" of the things that make up the earth's structure. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia post on gold. Check it out and pay particular attention to the section on Occurance.
