Gold does not have a cleavage it has a fracture: The type of fracture is hackly or jagged.

Cleavage usually relates to crystals (although cleaving crystals can also be made to fracture too).

Gold is a very soft element and because of the gold alloys, gold may vary in cleavage. Pure cold has no cleavage, it has a fracture. It fractures in hackles with torn surfaces.

Cleavage in minerals refers to the tendency to split along definite planes so as to yield smooth surfaces. Pure gold has no cleavage.
