What are consequences of building city on tile with resource?

What happens if I build city, and at much later I discover for example that tile under it had coal?
Do will it be usable? Or that resource is lost forever, where I built city?

Same as in basic Civ IV. You get the resource as if it had the improvement on it. Just the same as forts also.

Only if you can build an improvment to work this ressource

Nice . Do I also will get boost from resource too? For example if there is oil, city tile would get production boost from it, after I research tech for needed improvement?
So I can freely build cities, where resources are placed? There is no cons about it?

No -you do NOT get the productivity boots that the improvement would give, JUST access to the resource.

Which is why you don't want to build on top of known resources unless there is a compelling reason to do so.

For metals, a discussion of the changes not so long ago gave Mine Improvement as a necessary (iirc) link in the chain. So does building on the resource bypass that link, or will that be a problem?

It doesn't need a mine improvement. A city or even a fort will work. Just sometimes they are too far from a city (which is why the national smelters were made).

Okay.

I was talking about resources, that wasn't discovered yet.
