I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?

I would like to know a specific rule regarding the use of the subjunctive.
I learned that the subjunctive is not used in a sentence where the same subject appears in both the main and subordinate clauses.But when I came across this sentence, I got lost.
