Do the worlds oceans contain nearly 20 million tons of gold?

Answer 1

people from Spain in the 1400's brought gold and silver back from the Bah-amen islands and they got in shipwrecks and sometimes their ships would sink and all the riches would go to the bottom of the ocean .

Answer 2

No - this number being circulated is based upon a flawed methodology that was utilized pre 1989. At 10 parts per quadrillion tons, approximately 15,000 tons are in the oceans waters.

Use a range of 14,000 to 16,000 tons and you will definitely be in the right area

Answer 3

The world oceans are said to contain 20 million tons of gold. A German scientist named Friz Haber made a study in 1918 if you would like to Google his results.

Answer 4

yes, gold deposits can be found at the bottom of the ocean but we do not have a economical way of retrieving it.
