With all the stuff coming out in the news recently about Turkey finding a bunch of rare earth metals deposits (out of freaking nowhere), and Uganda finding the largest gold deposit in more than a 100 years, I can't help but wonder.
Is it possible there are other resources deposits in say, the USA, Germany, the UK, etc. that are being hidden from us? Supposedly the USA has all but run out of Iron ore since all of the "good quality" ore has long since been mined out of the great lakes region. But what if there's a massive iron ore deposit in say, Arizona? But the cabal has kept it hidden from us so as to make us more dependent on foreign ore and scrap metal.
This isn't that unreasonable. It wasn't until the 50s that the official largest iron ore deposit in the world was found in West Australia. And it was kept under the radar for decades until mining officially began when the guy who found it managed to get his hands on all the land around it for dirt cheap.
And this applies to more than just Iron. Think about it. For all we know, there could be some massive deposit of gold, silver, and platinum, a few hundred feet below the surface in say, Wyoming. But it's being kept under wraps so that the cabal can keep a strangle hold on things.
I'm not saying it's a definitive thing, but it seems plausible to me.
An Olympic pool holds 660,000 gallons, at 37.6479 in2 per gallon= 24,847,614in2 of area.
A 400 troy oz (standard) gold bar is 80.80 in2.
The pool would hold 307,520, 400 troy oz gold bars.
At $1,800 per troy oz
$221,414,400,000 in gold
There is estimated to be around $2,000,000,000,000 in gold in the world
More than enough to fill 9 Olympic pools
Fake news to suppress demand for physical gold. That news article glowed hard
To be fair, that's still probably less than most people imagine when you try to quantify something like all the gold ever officially mined in history. Most people imagine something like out of Indiana Jones, or King Solomon's Mine, or more recently, Smaug's golden horde.
You’re right, it’s an incredibly small amount. Olympic pools are big as far as pools go, but not when you’re using them to illustrate the total of a single element ever mined by humanity.
Another way to frame it is that all the gold in the world could fit into a couple of high school gymnasiums.
I just did the math for fun. There is more mined every year also.
