32,000oz in a ton @ $1800 = $57,600,000....if there's 170,000 tonnes of Au above ground which would be a cube 61ft x 61ft approx

That would come to about $9.8Tril or $10tril ...

(To that $16tril , now add more to that from recent funneling )

that just made me tired thnking about it , time to count some happy "little sheep "
;)

Big numbers. I used to divide big numbers by the number of people affected to put the BP refiners in their place when they came hassling me with big scary numbers. <16 tril is not big, 16 tril is beyond comprehension > 5 billion people = $3,000 per person. That's a lot for an African, a considerable amount for an Indian, a serious cost for a Chinese, an expense for a Greek, a detail for a German and a tip for a roaming Arab oil sheik.

Several years ago, to be the first, when they started using $billions as they used to speak of $millions and the word $trillion started to appear, I went for $quadrillion. A $trillion here, a $trillion there, pretty soon you are talking real money.

When they start wastrelizing $quadrillions, you'll know we have entered the Zimbabwean end game.
