According to the latest information reported by the U.S. Money Reserve magazine, there are currently about 57,000 tons of gold left to be mined. While this number may seem quite high at its face value, just consider the fact that there is also more than a quadrillion tons of diamonds left under the Earth’s surface. Thus, 57,000 tons is a rather immaterial amount that is one of the main factors that play a role when it comes to classifying gold as a scarce resource.
