Take a look at:
     
     "IPC-GH-850: Handbook of Interconnection Contact Finishes"
     
     
     "Connector Reliability i The Military Environment", Stuart Koford, 
     Connection Technology, May 1989, pp. 19-22".
     
     Both references have some good information on gold-copper 
     interactions. Also keep in mind that there is a difference between a 
     gold - copper galvanic reaction and a gold - copper diffusion 
     reaction.
