Victoria 3 Gold Map
Gold is a valuable resource in Victoria 3 that's used for the production of different luxury goods, meaning more wealthy nations will want gold as the richer members of the population begin to demand it. Obviously, gold doesn't just spawn out of thin air, and you will need to either secure a gold resource or set up trade routes with nations that have their own source. There are gold fields and gold mines, with the latter offering far more gold. Gold mines take longer to discover in-game, and gold fields can often convert into gold mines if they are stripped of their resources.
A user on the official Victoria 3 subreddit called u/boredman2 shared some maps which highlight the provinces that contain gold fields and gold mines. You can see both maps below.
We also have a table that displays the provinces with gold resources, along with the amount available there.
