So Iran just dropped a bombshell claim—they've supposedly stumbled upon 60 million tons of gold buried in Eastern Khorasan province. Wait, what?

Before you start picturing Fort Knox on steroids, let's pump the brakes. The headline's technically accurate, but the devil's in the details. We're talking about a deposit discovery here, not refined gold bars stacked to the ceiling. The actual story involves ore deposits, geological surveys, and extraction feasibility—classic stuff that gets lost when numbers this massive hit the newswire.

Still, even accounting for ore grades and processing realities, this is a geological headline that could ripple through commodities markets. Whether it's economically viable to extract? That's the billion-dollar question nobody's answering yet.

Another clickbait headline. "60 million tons of gold mine" sounds impressive, but how much can actually be extracted is what really matters...

Here we go again with this trap, 60 million tons of gold mine? Just hearing about it is enough, actually digging it out would take forever.

It's this trap again, exaggeration with just a puff of numbers. 60 million tons of minerals ≠ 60 million tons of gold, the media really knows how to play.

It's the same old trick again, 60 million tons sounds impressive, but the actual amount that can be mined is probably less than a tenth...
