In the world there are currently somewhere between 120,000 and 140,000 tonnes of gold ‘above ground’. To visualise this imagine a single solid gold cube with edges of about 19 metres (about three metres short of the length of a tennis court). That's all that has ever been produced.

#13 that depends on how and at what temperature you define "soft". Caesium is softer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium
however, neither are malleable at room temperature. every metal is pretty malleable at one temperature or another

Gold certainly is not the softest metal- cesium is, and sodium is soft enough to squeeze into shape by hand- been there, done it, wear gloves! This video is really annoying, what does she mean by "flue rite"- fluorite? And the furnace, "whose temperature is..." I didn't know the furnace was a who. Nice video, needs polish, perhaps a professional company could do this properly.

LiquiDnB - That is how it is mined today because all the "easy to get at" surface gold has been found. In the past it was possible to find it on or near the surface in lumps (where erosion had exposed it).

Everyone kind of missed my point...
Gold is not the softest metal.
Sure, mercury is not maleable at room temperature(as it is liquid), but it is a softer metal than gold. And its not the only one.
Im not part of the mercury fan club, I was pointing out that this woman just made up her own facts.
