This from Brian Cox's now, 10 year old remarkable book. All the gold ever found would only fill about 3 Olympic size swimming pools.Not much compared to the size of the world,eh? That rarity extends further out into our milky way galaxy of a billion stars,where the conditions required to produce very rare elements like gold,only happen about 2 minutes in a century.So there won't be much digging for gold on mars,I suppose.
Not getting easier or cheaper to mine it either, peak gold has to be reached some time
