Defining semiconductor physics properties for Gold material

Is there any possible way I could identify the value of effective mass of hole for Gold?
Currently I'm trying to define the value of effective density of states (conduction and valence) by using;
N# = 2 [2pie*me*kT/ h^2]^3/2
If N# is Nc, I have to specify the effective mass of electron, on the other hand,
if N# is Nv, I have to specify the effective mass of hole of gold.
I've done some researching but only found effective mass of electron to be 1.10m. How about hole?
I've read some random forum saying its impossible to determine since it's a conductor.
If so, what should I define for the 'effective density of states, valence band' in COMSOL 5.1?
Please advice.
Best regards
