Gold

Gold is not the same as Money!
 Gold is a Tier 4 Mined Resource found mainly on Zaheria and Amarino. It can be turned into Money through the Gold Mine.
== Obtaining ==
 Gold can be obtained through Resource Discovery items, through cards and through the Resource Exchange.
=== Resource Discovery Items ===
 Gold can be obtained naturally using t4 Geologists. Gold has a good chance (i.e. green) of being found on Zaheria and Amarino, and a fair chance (i.e. yellow) of being found on Westberg, San Sebastian, and Tind, making it one of the most widely found resources in the game (like Iron and Silver)
=== Cards ===
 Gold can be granted from three cards within the Overseas Exploration card pack. The Gold does not get added straight to your stockpile but instead gets added to your potential resources - that is, you'll have to use a t4 Geologist to find the Gold.
==== Plotting the Trade Lanes ====
This uncommon card grants 2t Silver and 3t Gold, which isn't actually that great but if exhausted in bulk they can be okay.
==== Coast of a New Continent ====
This epic card grants 250t Gold when you exhaust the card. This makes it one of the best cards in the game (if you're not on Amarino) as it also grants 5km2 of Rubber Trees and 100km2 of Jungles as well.
==== A Gift From the Continents ====
This legendary card is generally considered to be the worst legendary in the game because of the low amounts of each resource it grants. It's generally considered that Coast of a New Continent should be legendary and this card epic. In terms of resources, this card grants 25t Gold (along with 2km2 of Kingwood, 25t Saltpeter, 10t Uraninite, and 25 Barrels of Petroleum).
=== Resource Exchange ===
Similar to Silver, Gold sells for little, but is bought for a lot. It sells for less than what you could get converting it into Money through a Gold Mine, but it isn't worth buying to put through a Gold Mine as you'd be making a loss, if that makes sense. Generally speaking, don't buy or sell Gold on the Resource Exchange. 
== Uses ==
 Gold can only be used to be converted into Money through the Gold Mine. Gold Mines aren't recommended as a primary source of Money but if you have a bunch of Gold lying around that you don't need it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to convert it into Money.
