If you use your AP on Expert event runs at every opportunity during waking hours, minus 24 AP for dailies, you can expect about 7 of the Gold material to drop per day.
The silver material droprate is ridiculous, I found 3-4 silver chests for run and always contains useless stuff. (Yes, useless. I maxed all my weapons and eidolons) 30 AP thrown in the dumpster. (50% of my energy bar)
