Gold is a 1955 Canadian short documentary film, directed by Colin Low for the National Film Board of Canada.[1]

The film documents the process of placer gold mining near Dawson City, Yukon and shows how gold is trapped and hand-sorted before becoming gold brick.

Low followed up with his 1957 film City of Gold, which centred on the history of Dawson City during the Klondike Gold Rush.
