Scientists believe that gold and other precious metals are slowly leaking to the surface from Earth's core through Hawaiian ...

A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than ...

Scientists discover hidden "ghost plume" beneath Oman using earthquake data, revealing Earth's secret heat pathways.

Gold, hidden deep within the Earth’s core, is making its way to the surface of our planet, leaking through the mantle and into the crust, scientists have found. A new study out of Germany ...

Now, new research from Göttingen University in Germany suggests that some gold might be leaking from the core into the mantle and the crust, bringing it another step closer in the long ...

“Precious metals such as ruthenium are highly concentrated in the metallic core but extremely depleted in the silicate mantle,” researchers said in the analysis published on Wednesday in the ...

In contrast, the mantle, which lies between the planet’s outer crust and the molten core, is 1,800 miles of mostly solid rock. To determine whether the extracted ruthenium was originally from ...

“Traditionally, the core and outer layers of our planet (mantle and crust) were presumed to be geochemically isolated (i.e., material does not transfer back and forth). Increasingly, scientists ...

followed by the solid outer core, the rocky mantle and the thin crust towards the surface. New research from the University of Göttingen demonstrates that some precious metal-rich material from the ...

This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers who found evidence that metals are leaking from Earth's core into the mantle, before being erupted at the surface. "When the results ...
