Does Platinum occur with Gold ore?

What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?

Gold ore contains gold metal, which is highly visible due to its distinctive yellow color. Iron ore, on the other hand, contains iron in the form of iron compounds such as hematite and magnetite, which do not exhibit the same visible metal characteristics as gold. The presence of visible gold in gold ore is due to its high density and purity compared to iron compounds found in iron ore.


What do you mix to get gold?

Gold is a naturally occurring element that is found in the Earth's crust. It is not created by mixing other substances together. Gold is typically mined from the Earth as an ore and then refined through processes such as crushing, grinding, and chemical treatment to extract the pure metal.

Why is platinum found as a metal not an ore?
