Magma would likely contains trace amounts of gold, not nearly enough to be worth trying to extract. However, in areas of magmatic activity, gold is sometimes deposited in veins by the resulting hydrothermal processes.

Gold does not melt from the lava of a volcano because the temperature required to melt gold (1,064 degrees Celsius) is higher than the temperature of most lava (700-1,200 degrees Celsius). Gold is not formed in volcanic eruptions but is typically found in veins within the Earth's crust.

Gold melts at 1064° Celsius, and lava is around 700-1200° Celsius. If you got lava that was hot enough, it would melt gold.
