Our planet's core is rich in gold that can leak out into the mantle, and in some cases, end up in volcanos on the surface, according to a new study.

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

Unlike the core, the mantle is mostly solid, and makes up most of the planet (84 percent of the Earth’s volume to be exact). Comparatively, the mantle also has less of a platinum-group-metal ...

Imagine if the Earth beneath our feet was not the solid, unchanging rock we thought it was. A recent groundbreaking study has revealed something truly surprising: Earth’s core may be leaking ...

Scientists from Caltech and WHOI have found evidence that Earth’s core is leaking. High levels of a particular isotope of helium were found in lava flows in Canada, which the team proposes ...

Earth’s core formed over 4 billion years ago and contains more than 99.999% of the planet’s gold supply.

(CNN) – Most of the earth’s gold lies trapped in the planet’s molten core. However, it’s starting to make its way to the surface, according to experts.

Helium leaking from Earth’s core doesn’t affect our planet or have any negative implications, he said. The noble gas does not chemically react with matter, so it won’t have an impact on ...
