There is likely a lot of gold in the world's oceans, but estimates vary widely. Here's a breakdown:
- Yes, there's gold in seawater: It's present in very small amounts, measured in parts per trillion.
- Estimated total: Some sources say there could be around 20 million tons of gold dissolved in the oceans.
- Challenges of extraction: Even with that amount, the gold is so spread out and diluted that extracting it is currently not economically feasible.
So, while there might be a lot more gold in the ocean than what's been mined on land, it's not really accessible with current technology.
