## Obtaining

[Ore (Gold)](/wiki/ore-gold) is an [ore](/wiki/ores) that can be mined throughout the surface and underground of a planet or an asteroid using a [Mining Drill](/wiki/mining-drill) or [Pickaxe](/wiki/pickaxe). Gold ore can also be obtained by processing [dirty ore](/wiki/dirty-ore) from a [Deep Miner](/wiki/deep-miner) using a [Centrifuge](/wiki/centrifuge) or [Combustion Centrifuge](/wiki/combustion-centrifuge).

## Processing

Gold ore can be turned into a [gold ingot](/wiki/gold-ingot) by smelting it in an [Arc Furnace](/wiki/arc-furnace), [Furnace](/wiki/furnace), or [Advanced Furnace](/wiki/advanced-furnace). Gold is also an ingredient of [Electrum](/wiki/electrum) and [Inconel](/wiki/inconel).

Smelting in an Arc Furnace requires 2000 Energy. Using a Furnace or Advanced Furnace requires the following conditions:
|  | **Pressure (Pa)** | **Temperature (K)** | **Temperature (°C)** |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Min** | 100 kPa | 600 K | 327 °C |
| **Max** | 100 MPa | 100 kK | 99.7 k°C |


Smelting one gold ore produces the following gases:
| **Amount** | **Gas** |
|---|---|
| 2 mol | [Pollutant](/wiki/pollutant) |
| 0.5 mol | [Nitrogen](/wiki/nitrogen) |
| 0.2 mol | [Carbon Dioxide](/wiki/carbon-dioxide) |
| 0.2 mol | [Oxygen](/wiki/oxygen) |
