Best Answer

It does conduct fairly well, but it's not among the very best conductors. One reason that connectors are sometimes plated with gold is that while gold isn't as good a conductor as, say, copper or silver, unlike those metals gold doesn't tarnish, and gold is a much better conductor than copper or silver oxide.
