Look for gold American brochure (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prospectus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brochure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'look for gold american' is the wordplay.
'look for gold' becomes 'prospect' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'prospect'+'us'='PROSPECTUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prospectus that I've seen before include "Brochure giving details of college courses etc" , "Advertising booklet for school or university" , "University entering opportunities for success in brochure" , "Promotional booklet" , "Outline plan for approval" .)
