I think it means that theyve finished making the game and its ready for release. I could be wrong though.

When they produce a disk for release they make a an actual base disk from gold which they then use to press the others. i.e. "Gold"

it's the master copy of the game to be released. it's bascially ready for release to the public they just have to duplicate now.
