Gold ore is very different from gold. My neighbor probably has a ton of gold ore in her driveway. Rendered for gold, there might be a half ounce. Worth more as paving material. What kind of ore are we talking about?

"They were armed with catapults, stones, machetes, axes, knives, clubs and iron bars," the paper quoted a police source saying.Catapults? "Achmed, grab the catapults. You never know if we might need to breech some ramparts."

I was about to say that 4 tonnes of gold is the whole Zimbabwe treasury, probably worth about a gazillion Zimbabwe dollars. But then I saw that it was 4 tonnes of gold ore. The value would depend upon the concentration of gold in the ore. If, for example, the ore was 1/2% gold, the value would be about $300,000,000.
(Did I mention that those are Zimbabwe dollars? It would be less than a million in U.S. dollars.)

Four tons of gold ore = how much gold?

Four tonnes of ore does not produce four tonnes of gold. Not even close. Bad headline writing (yet again).

Hey, I was supposed to get 30% of that gold by helping this guy from Zimbabwe to transfer it to my account so that his fortune was safe from his recently overthrown government...At least thats what the email said...still waiting to hear back from him with my 30%...
