If by "stronger" you mean hard to bend, then platinum is less bendable than gold.
For many applications gold is mixed with other materials in order to make it "harder" because pure gold is so soft.
But neither gold or platinum are used for their strength, gold is mostly used for its electric properties (e.g. the connector on your mobile phone) and platinum as a catalyst in chemical reactions.

Is the mineral gold attracted to metal?
Gold is particularly attracted to mercury. In fact, mercury is used to extract gold from the ore that it is found in. Then a cyanide is used to make the mercury 'let go' of the gold in a manner in which people can recover it.
What is Mercury into gold?
No. One can not transform one element into another. However Mercury may be used to extract gold from gold containing sand. The gold will dissolve in the mercury which can then be boiled away to leave the gold. This will APPEAR to make mercury change into gold but this is not the case, you have to put the gold into the mercury first.PLEASE NOTE - Mercury is VERY VERY toxic/poisonous and using it to extract gold this way is dangerous to the environment and harmful to the people doing it (especially the boiling away mercury phase) - do not refine gold this way, use a mechanical separation process.
Is platinum better than gold?
Platinum is more rare and expensive than gold. As to better, it may depend on what you want to use it for.
