If the gold is placer gold - the kind at the bottom of streams that the old prospectors used to dredge out of the sand - it's usable gold when you get it.
If it's gold that has to be mined, then you need gold ore, a cyanide (either sodium, potassium or calcium can be used), some sodium hydroxide, a little lead nitrate...this is a very nasty process and it's illegal in a lot of places.

∙ 9y agoGold is an element; you can't make it out of other materials (well, YOU can't; nuclear physicists can, but it's kind of a hit-or-miss proposition and it costs orders of magnitude more than the gold is worth).
Gold is fairly inert and is usually found in nature as the metal. There are "gold bearing ores", but unlike ores like taconite (a kind of iron ore) the gold only needs to be mechanically separated from the ore (usually, the ore is crushed and heated; the gold melts and drips out) as opposed to undergoing some kind of chemical reaction.
