The problem with a gold rush is by the time you hear about it, so has everyone else and all the gold is gone once you get there.

That's assuming it takes longer for you to hear about it than for everyone else to extract all the gold. Now suppose there is a data center boom and a massive housing shortage and a transition from fossil fuels to electric cars and heating systems and at least two of those things are likely to continue for a good while.
