Gold oxide seems like a horrible choice for drilling. It is very soft and especially poor at heat resistance. This is almost as bad as 'gold tipped TOSLink cables'. On the plus side, it does decompose back into oxygen and pure gold at temperatures barely above boiling.

Gold oxide drill bits are a popular, cost-effective choice for general-purpose drilling. They are typically made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a gold oxide coating that helps resist heat buildup and corrosion, which can extend the life of the bit compared to standard uncoated or basic black oxide bits.
Many gold oxide bits feature a 135-degree split-point tip, which is designed to start drilling on contact without "walking" (slipping across the surface). They are well-suited for drilling into materials like wood, plastic, and light-gauge metal.
