Best Answer

Less reactive elements are more likely to be found uncombined, that is as the element rather than as part of a compound. This is usually called being 'found native'. For instance gold mines contain actual pieces of gold, whereas an iron mine usually contains something like rust, which has to be converted by a chemical reaction to obtain the metal.
