The game has some events relative to industry. As this aspect of the game is extremely important, I have developed these ideas over the last few decades playing Civ. As with my previous proposed Events, many are based on actual events in the real world. Some of them I was able to use in Civ by using manual techniques and World Builder. So, I suggest the following list of additional events.

A large vein of industrial diamonds, important for making machine tools, has been found at a Gems Mine near [City]. Gain three Gold in tile.

A huge vein of Lead has been found at a Mine near [City]. [Country] has become the leading producer of Lead in the world. Gain two Gold in tile.

A huge vein of Zinc has been found at a Mine near [City]. [Country] has become the leading producer of Zinc in the world. Gain two Gold in tile.

A huge vein of Nickel has been found at a Mine near [City]. [Country] has become the leading producer of Nickel in the world. Gain two Gold in tile.

A large vein of Black Onyx has been found at a quarry near [City]. Gain one Gold in tile.
