I have noticed while running conquest that even after you find a gold mine
(say of diamonds), if your wealth then goes down below the threshold,
you can no longer see the gold rating.  This doesn't really make sense,
especially if you have redesignated the sector to be a gold mine while you can
see it.  Once you have redisignated the sector to a gold mine, its gold
resources should probably remain visible.

If the rational is that you need a certain wealth to find the resource, once
you find it you shouldn't lose it.  If the rational is that you need a certain
wealth to use the resource, once you start, you shouldn't lose the ability,
except maybe if the sector gets taken over from you.

It appears that you are still able to mine there, though, even though you can't
tell what you are mining.  Do you get the jewels?  I'm not sure.  The same
problem is probably true of metal mines.
