depends on how easy that gold is to extract and collect.
If gold does exist in coal, why have no coal plants been seeing it so far? There are coal plants all over the eastern US that have been in operation for over a century. They burn way more than 10,000 tons per year, and nobody has seen a pile of slag gold in the ash heaps?
What is 10 kilos of gold worth? at today's rate, just over $550k. LMAO. That is like an hour of operation. They have to wait a year with this new technology to get $550k??
Not worth it. Especially when most of these plants will make ten to a thousand times more than that for a year.

1 gram of gold per ton.
Yeah, that will work out for them.
Search for how much gold is dissolved in 1 km^3 of the ocean - that's a mind boggling number.
Get gold from seawater instead.

yeah but if your already using the coal for something like the nazi war machine...why not get some gold while you are at it...

Well a ton of gold is between 20-40$ depending on many variables. Burning 10,000 tons of coal at 30$/ton is 300,000$ which produces 550$ in gold.
Their math is optimistic.
