Fun to imagine on geophysical length scales that each dot of gold-sulfur rich complex in the diagram could represent like several orders of magnitude more gold than has ever been mined out of the Earth to date. (No idea whether that is the right sizing, but I could totally imagine it being the case) edit: "...The estimated amount of gold ever mined is around 212,582 tonnes, according to the World Gold Council. This is roughly equivalent to a cube of gold that's about 22 meters on each side..." https://www.gold.org/goldhub/data/how-much-gold https://www.gold.org/goldhub/data/how-much-gold https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-much-gold-has-been-found-world https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-much-gold-has-been-found-world
