Unlike Diamonds (for example), Gold is a element or noble metal. Changing the element requires changing the atomic (proton) number. The number of protons cannot be altered by any chemical means. However, physics may be used to add or remove protons and thereby change one element into another. Because lead is stable, forcing it to release three protons requires a vast input of energy, such that the cost of transmuting it greatly surpasses the value of the resulting gold.
however, plants for example can be used to extract gold from it's growing medium (you have gold particles in your body) , and a chemical process to extract the gold nano-particles. which because of their size, promise to be very useful for future micro-electronics, as well as some medical uses. is other chemical processes for extracting gold from other sources as well, but it's not making gold so much as extracting it.
if your counting on gold to remain as valuable/rare as it is today, i wouldn't. with the rise of organic tech, cheaper ways of extracting it from other sources like the ocean will emerge. and with the rise of the space age, will come space mining.
