西澳大利亚州Perth Mint制造了一根重达521.2公斤的金条，成功创造吉尼斯世界纪录[1]。这根金条的纯度达到99.999%，超越了现有99.99%的世界标准[1]，打破了迪拜造币厂两年前创造的300公斤纪录[1]。Perth Mint首席执行官Paul Graham表示："要达到五个九的纯度，99.999，没有多少人能做到，这简直是个奇迹。"[1]
该项目由35名以上专家耗时三天完成[1]，使用澳大利亚黄金精炼而成[1]。这根金条预计价值超过1亿美元[1]，将在Perth Mint展出，以展示澳大利亚冶炼和黄金产业的能力[1]。
Perth Mint in Western Australia has created a massive gold bar weighing 521.2 kilograms, setting a new Guinness World Record [1]. The bar surpasses the previous record of 300 kilograms, which was established by the Dubai Mint two years prior [1]. Crafted from Australian gold and refined to a purity of 99.999 percent, the bar exceeds the existing international standard of 99.99 percent [1].
The ambitious project required three days of work and involved more than 35 experts [1]. Perth Mint Chief Executive Officer Paul Graham emphasized the achievement, stating that "to get to five-nines gold, 99.999, not many can do that. It's nothing short of a miracle" [1]. The gold bar is valued at more than 100 million dollars and will be displayed at Perth Mint to showcase the capabilities of Australia's smelting and gold refining industries [1]. With spot gold prices at approximately 4,079 dollars per ounce, Australia's gold sector remains robust, with export revenues projected to reach 60 billion dollars in the 2025-26 fiscal year, up from 47 billion dollars in 2024-25 [1].
