I assume you inquire about stage #2 of side A. According to the [Rules, p. 8](https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/10938/where-can-i-find-the-rules-for-7-wonders-and-its-expansions/10939#10939):

In other words, each turn you have a wild, exclusive raw material at your disposal, for free, just like if you had bought the **Caravansary** Age II yellow card. Other players may not buy this resource.
