Magma would likely contains trace amounts of gold, not nearly enough to be worth trying to extract. However, in areas of magmatic activity, gold is sometimes deposited in veins by the resulting hydrothermal processes.

How does a volcano gets its shape?

Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
