What is the abundance and extraction of gold?
Well, gold is in almost everything, especially in electronics. I know one way to extract gold. Grind whatever contains gold to tiny bits (a good blender will do) and use liquid mercury. Mix well and after a while remove all left over solids (use gloves). I know it is very dangerous, so take all precations. Gold sticks to mercury like glue. Once the mercury becomes rich with gold, simply evaporate it using a blowtourch. Be careful not to inheale the fumes because that can kill you. Once the mercury evaporates all you will have left is gold.
