They are metals, and like all metals they are excellent conductors of both heat and eletricity.
While both conduct but not the same see Periodic Table plus silver oxidizes and eventual makes a bad conductor at the joints gold is not as good conductor but is is impervious of elements effects on it.

List of good and bad conductor of electricity?
Good conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Some common good conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.Bad conductors (or insulators) oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common insulators or bad conductors are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.Conductors have a very low resistance to electrical current while insulators or bad conductors have a very high resistance to electrical current.
Name three examples for conductor of insulators?
examples of conductors are gold, silver,cooper,carbon,water containing minerals examples of insulators are plastic,glass,rubber,wood,dry paper thats all i have
Why are the wires in electric circuits often made of copper?
Because copper is one of the best conductors of electricity and it has a high melting point so it won't melt with the heat from the flow of electricity when used for normal amounts of current, it is also malable meaning it can be changed easily into wires or other objects. As a metal it's expensive compared to some other metals such as iron (which is not such a good conductor as copper), but it's not as expensive as silver or gold (which are better conductors than copper), so copper doesn't cost a lot to manufacture into wires.(but most of wires are metal )
Which metals can be found naturally?
Gold,silver, copper
