Great. But where does this money go? Fines like this should go to support small businesses or causes like that. Of course they don’t and just go to more bureaucracy

Damn. That’s crazy. I know that it’s comes up through magma and volcanic activity. But had no idea how much was in the core. And also how much that is i. the crust that will never be mined. Makes you think that the future for mining rare elements may really be in asteroids.

“mined” is the key term here. there’s been tons of river gold and in areas like australia when they were first colonized, there were nuggets in some areas just laying on the ground.
