If this is true, it would mean the value of gold would go to nothing almost instantly. And the value of mercury to soar.

No, because it is driven by a fusion reaction. There are no functioning fusion reactors at this time.

The reaction theoretically reduces the cost of operating a fusion reactor because it produces gold from mercury as part of the reaction process. It would help hold down the price of gold, but probably would not reduce it to zero.
