This produces profit in old gem reset (8)
I believe the answer is:
goldmine
'this produces profit' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'in old gem reset' is the wordplay.
'reset' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'old'+'gem'='inoldgem'
'inoldgem' is an anagram of 'GOLDMINE'.
