In the last episode Tywin Lannister mentions that the mines of Casterly Rock have run dry. I am currently in the middle of ADWD and I don't remember.

Tyrion the Drains of Casterly Rock. Background.

Mr Smith Gender:Male Location:Australia Members 574 Posted May 5, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember nothing in the book that suggests the mines under Casterly Rock were running dry. Probably not a terrible change to make, and a nice metaphor for the eventual disintegration of Lannister power, but a radical change none the less.

Casterly rock had no value since the gold mines had run dry. I don't believe Tywin would have sent Jaime there. Well the mines of Casterly Rock running dry is a show only invention but even with that Casterly Rock is still the capital of the richest realm in the seven kingdoms (that is a lot of tax) and overrules the nearby Lannisport while ...
You'd have find the mass of the Rock from its dimensions and density of the rock that forms it. Keep in mind it should be a rock type that commonly bears gold. So 2200' x miles 2 = 12,000,000,000 m 3. Times the density of granite a common gold bearing rock = 13 kg.

So, I was reading a fic, like, a month ago, and there was this plot point in which Casterly Rock falls and is occupied for a while.

For all we know, there is still a thousand yearsworth of gold in Casterly Rock.
