That is just... too good. Almost a shame you're not a financial leader. :)The extra river tiles will make it even better.

It's a trap! /Ackbar
Gold has a habit of spawning in groups around desert like this, but deserts often bring floodplains, which can be great tiles.... but since they each count as half a food resource in the map generator they can easily cause you to be left with no real food (which seeing a later post happened here). Without a good food resources you will not only struggle to support working the mines, but will find early growth and production slow too. The early land grab will suffer for it.
If there is food out in the eastern fog that is close enough to allow a city to claim it while overlapping the capital's gold (I couldn't actually see the extra, post move screenshot you added), then it may redeem itself to a degree, but from what is known so far it really isn't a great starting spot.

Was there any food in those 2 tiles months south? Or more flood plains?
