Moulded mass of tin, possibly, containing some gold (5)

I believe the answer is:

ingot

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

'some gold' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'moulded mass of tin possibly containing' is the wordplay.
'moulded mass' becomes 'g' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'of' becomes 'o''.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'containing' indicates putting letters inside.
'tin' anagrammed gives 'int'.
'g'+'o'='go'
'go' inserted within 'int' is 'INGOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ingot that I've seen before include "Bar, often gold" , "Block of cast metal" , "Metal casting" , "expensive block" , "Block (of steel, gold, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
