The gold -> mithril route is far slower than just mining it yourself, especially if you're not looking for some sort of Mithril/Second statistic and instead just want a couple sets of mithril battle gear.

Its an alternative, not a replacement, and nomads will still use the tried and tested method of going to a mithril vein rather than adoping a method of sitting next to gold veins.
