Go for gold in anticipation (8)
I believe the answer is:
prospect
This clue might be a double definition.
'go for gold' is the first definition.
'prospect' can be an answer for 'go' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'for gold' bit.
'anticipation' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prospect that I've seen before include "Explore in search of something, perhaps gold" , "'Outlook, vista (8)'" , "Search for gold - view - scene - probability" , "Likely candidate" , "Search for mineral deposits - possibility" .)
