The Israeli-Iran war has led to a huge jump in the price of gold and has reached close to the highest level. Whenever there is a disaster in the world, the glow of gold increases. This is because people consider gold to be a safe means of investment. Governments also keep more and more gold in their treasures. America has the highest stock of gold in the world. Central banks of countries like India, China, Türkiye and Poland have also recently increased the amount of gold in their reserves. One reason for this is to reduce dollar dependence.
The glow of gold has fascinated man in every era. Since ancient times, gold has been used as a means of jewelery and exchange. According to an estimate, only 208,874 tonnes of gold has been mined in the world so far. But about 20 million tonnes of gold is still hidden in the sea. According to a Forbes report, it can priced at 771 trillion tonnes. This is about seven times the total GDP of the world and about 25 times the US GDP.
How much gold is there in the sea?
According to an estimate, the size of the world economy is $ 100 trillion and the US GDP size is 30.50 trillion dollars. According to the US National Ocean Service, there is one gram of gold in every 100 million metric tons of water in the North Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The question is that when so much gold is hidden in the sea, why is it not being removed? This work is not so easy. The reason for this is that extracting gold from the sea is very expensive.
Actually, one liter seawater contains 13 billionth part of one gram. But currently there is no cheap way to extract gold from seawater and earn profit. However, it is not that efforts have not been made to extract gold from seawater. Many inventors and investors have tried this.
Attempt to extract gold
According to media reports, in the 1890s, Pastor Ford Jernigan planned to extract gold from the Long Island Sound and lightning. For this, he formed electrolytic Marine Salts Company and also raised $ 1 million from investors. But soon Jernigan disappeared with all the money. Even after that, many people and organizations tried to separate gold from sea water but they failed.
