About 6 miles below the surface, under incredible temperatures and pressures, water carries high concentrations of carbon dioxide, silica and gold.
During an earthquake, faults suddenly open wider.
It's like pulling the lid off a pressure cooker: The water inside the void instantly vaporizes, flashing to steam and forcing silica, which forms the mineral quartz, and gold out of the fluids and onto nearby surfaces.

So does this mean we can create gold in an earthquake mimicked experiment?

The Lost Dutchman found gold but it wasn’t his fault.

in other words the water is not turned into gold, it is vaporized and the mineral deposits are left behind, including gold. The gold already existed and is not actually created in this process.
Hence the headline is garbage

I’ve heard estimates that only 5% of the gold has been discovered, 95% remains to be recovered.
