Gold is a rare metal Resource. It is always present on the map but cannot be seen until the Metallurgy Knowledge is researched.
Gold ore is mined from gold deposits on the ground by the Mining camp. It can be turned into Gold bars (referred to as Gold in game) in the Foundry, using Wood, Charcoal or Coke as fuel.
Gold can be used to produce Jewelry by the Jewelry Maker.
Gold can be stored in a Warehouse to increase the total Wealth of a city, or sold to Free Traders on the Market for a profit, even if no Civilization Points have been spent on its production. Since the buy and sell prices for Gold are nearly identical, Gold is a good way to store excess Money without lowering porcos' wealth, while still being able to easily turn it back into money at almost no loss when needed.
