Gold and silver - and indeed all the elements are not formed on any planet (though they may be found on planets). the elements Hydrogen and Helium were formed at the begining of the universe during the early stages of the big bang. Later all the other elements up to the mass of Iron were formed from hydrogen and helium in the cores of stars. The elements heavier than Iron are all formed in supernova explosions when big stars explode at the end of their lives. These explosions scatter these new heavy elements out into space where the eventually collapse to form new suns and the planets round these suns. Thus all the Gold and Silver found on earth were formed in dead stars and were part of the dusty disk that formed round our sun in its youth. This disk gave rise to all the planets and therefore there will be some Gold and Silver in all the planets.

Elements are not formed on planets (Unless human intervention was involved). Heavy metals like Gold and Silver are formed through fusion inside of a star. As a result, gold and silver should be scattered throughout the universe.

Will a magnet be able to tell if its gold or silver?

No, magnets are useful for finding iron, but almost all other metals do not respond to magnets. Gold and silver are equally non-magnetic. However, there are lots of other differences that would enable you to distinguish between gold and silver. Even if you have an alloy of gold and silver, you can tell how much of it is gold and how much of it is silver, by analysing the density of the alloy. Gold is much denser than silver.
