The story so far
Scientists have discovered high concentrations of gold located in an underwater crater near Japan. This gold is described as "invisible" because it is locked within deposits of what is commonly known as fool's gold.
Coverage from outlets including ScienceAlert, Phys.org, and The Times of India notes that findings were published in the journal Scientific Reports. These reports emphasize that while the deposit is the largest discovered, the physical location presents significant challenges for extraction.
Future developments will depend on the evolution of deep-sea mining technology. Current coverage does not yet specify a timeline for potential recovery efforts or the economic feasibility of the extraction process.
