The Egyptians got their gold from Nubia. They often traded for it, and sometimes they would find it near Egypt.

How long would it take to mine one metric ton of gold as in Exodus 38?

There is nothing in Exodus 38 about mining gold, and I am not sure how you came up with the calculation there was a metric ton of gold, but it sounds about right maybe more like two tons I think - Exodus 38:24 "All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary." But as far as mining gold isconcerned, there was no need to mine gold as the Israelites had plenty of gold that they carried out of Egypt - Exodus 12:35-36 "And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians."In terms of actually mining the gold, that process would undoubtedly have taken decades. How long exactly depends on the quantity of workers and the productivity of the mine (did it have a lot of gold and was that gold accessible).
