GOld at 1 ppm in the core. Once you take the size of the core into account, that's a lot of gold. But if this estimate is based on meteorite content, it would be a lot easier to mine asteroids for gold that to go to the core to find it.

Yes, if it's distributed at 1 ppm among several sextillion tons of molten rock, there's no way to extract it anyway.
