/ˈɡəʊld maɪn//ˈɡəʊld maɪn/

The term "gold mine" originally referred to a location where gold could be found and extracted. As ancient civilizations discovered the value of gold, they began to view its presence as akin to hitting the jackpot or striking it rich. In the 19th century, as the Gold Rush swept across the western United States, the phrase "gold mine" became more widely used to describe a location overflowing with wealth and financial opportunity. Today, the metaphorical use of "gold mine" is applied to any situation or resource that has the potential to generate incredible profits or benefits.
