If an island was formed from a volcanic hot spot would you be able to mine gold on it?

Most likely not. Gold is usually associated with granitic intrusions. Volcanic islands produce basaltic lava, which is not conducive to gold deposits. You are more likely to find gold at a location where there is or has been a continental volcanic arc.

Yes, a sea mount can become a volcanic island because they are individual mountains of volcanic material. They form where magma pushes its way through or between tectonic plates. If a sea mount builds up above sea level, it becomes a volcanic island.
What is a volcanic type of mountain?
A volcanic mountain is a mountain formed by volcanic action. It is usually cone-shaped with a depression on top, which is where the crater is, or was, in the case of extinct volcanoes. Volcanic mountains rise up as a result of movement of the tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust, which allow the magma to rise up from the mantle underneath.Ancient volcanic mountains may have misshapen and craggy-looking upper portions. These are the volcanic plugs left behind after centuries of erosion have worn away the soil from around the plug.a volcanic mountain is a mountain that is able to erupt.

Does Volcanic Ash Help Plants Grow Faster?
No. Ash would get into the soil and "choke" the plants. They may not be able to live with ash all around them. The pH of the soil would also be affected.
