Great news guys.Much progress has been made in extracting gold from seawater.About an average of 10ppb.
http://chiefio.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/golden-bacterial-do/   bacteria are tiny little plants.Now the USA can go back on a gold standard as predicted by forbes.Now we can go to Europa too the oceans there are estimated to be nearly double the volume of water on the earth.Most likely it too has gold in solution?


Conclusion:
Even at the conservative estimates of 10 ppb of gold in seawater, there is a great deal of gold in solution in the oceans. Humankind has unearthed perhaps a total of 3.3 billion ounces of gold over the course of history, an amount equivalent To a cube of gold 55 feet on a side (Dworetzky 1988), but the sea water of the Earth’s oceans contain about 25 billion ounces of gold (Burk 1989). If the ability of some of these bacteria to concentrate gold around their cell membranes to the degree that they form massively dense agglomerations of hollow gold microtubuals, as the evidence suggests, then perhaps a similar bacterium may find a practical application in sea water.
So the economy gets saved and earth can now get 100 space elevators.triffid

Silver from the Sea

Written by Glyn Ford and Jonathan Simnett

In the Red Sea three years ago, Saudi Arabia and The Sudan jointly launched an experiment that, in the Middle Ages, might have been called alchemy: the transmutation of a common, worthless substance â€" mud â€" into a rare and valuable substance: silver. In the Red Sea, however, the process depends on technology rather than magic, and is extraction rather than transmutation.
[...]
What the commission is investigating are thick layers of mud â€" up to 30 meters (98 feet) â€" that have been collecting over the last 10,000 years in the deep depressions along the center of the Red Sea 90 kilometers from land (56 miles). Found beneath pools of dense, extremely hot brines-60°C (140°F)-that have formed in depressions two kilometers deep, these muds are rich in zinc and copper, smaller amounts of other metals, including gold, and â€" the main target-silver.

Since the 1880s, oceanographers have suspected that the Red Sea had hidden secrets. It was not until 1948, however, as the post-war boom in ocean research got underway, that the strange, high-temperature brines were found and recorded by the Swedish vessel Albatross. And it was not until about 1963 that scientists, in a burst of exploratory activity, obtained samples of the metalliferous muds.

Since then, 18 brine pools and associated mud deposits have been discovered. But from a commercial viewpoint only one of these is important: the Atlantis II Deep. The largest found so far, the Atlantis II Deep, named after the survey ship which discovered it, has a surface area of 60 square kilometers (23 square miles) and vast deposits of multi-colored muds, the consistency of soft toothpaste, containing, in the southwest basin, six percent zinc, one percent copper and 100 parts per million of silver.

Technical optimism aside, Saudi Arabia and The Sudan must also consider the economics â€" and they are as tricky as the technology. To be sure, the latest estimates of Atlantis II Deep suggest a tremendous potential: 1.95 million metric tons of zinc, 400,000 metric tons of copper, 4,000 metric tons of silver and 60 tons of gold worth some $4 billion at current prices. But metal markets are highly volatile. At today’s prices, for example, almost half the revenue would come from zinc â€" which has recently been steadily rising in price â€" while copper revenues would be much smaller.

As for silver, the target metal, commission experts have to keep in mind such upsets as the 1980 fiasco when prices gyrated wildly during an attempt to corner the market â€" and then crashed. On the other hand, the silver market is usually less vulnerable than other metals and now seems assured of a long-term upward trend.

@triffid,

The system is broke. It has been broken for a very long time and not all the gold in the world is going to save it. We are in unchartered waters and must think out of the box other wise the bastards with the moto "ordo ab cao" will try to implement their dastardly plan.

Food for thought:
