Country yields new gold and germanium (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norge

'country' is the definition.
(Norge is an example)

'new gold and germanium' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'germanium' becomes 'Ge' (Ge is the chemical symbol for germanium).
'n'+'or'+'ge'='NORGE'

'yields' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
