Iron ore ---(blast)---> Ore chunks ---(smelt)---> Metal bars ---(build)---> Some edifice
Gold ore
You wanted to have this additional processing step to restrict gold ore chunks from being sold right away (as is) but ONLY after additional processing (refinement). I completely agree with this idea of yours (the only difference between your vision and my vision is the one depicted with
So there is probably nothing left to discuss.
