Both are NOT
Sugar is not a mineral, and technically gold is an element.
Neither salt nor sugar are considered sedimentary rocks. Salt is mainly composed of the mineral halite, while sugar is a type of carbohydrate. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and compression of sediments over time.
I assume you mean to distinguish between sugar and salt by means of a chemical test, in which case: Since sugar is an organic compound, it will be soluble in organic solvents (such as mineral oil, butyl alcohol, acetone, etc), whilst the salt should not dissolve. You can then filter the salt from the liquid solution, before using evaporation to recondense the crystalline sugar. If you want the sugar to remain edible, I would recommend the mineral oil option. Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) should work in theory, however in practice, it is often available mixed with water, which will also readily dissolve the salt.
During evaporation, salt will remain in its solid crystal form as the water evaporates, while sugar will dissolve in the water and evaporate along with it. This is because salt is a mineral compound while sugar is a organic compound that can dissolve in water.
Mineral
Salt is a mineral. Sugar is an organic compound (carbohydrate).
No. It is a carbohydrate. Salt would be an example of a mineral.

The end product of mineral salt digestion is typically the absorption of individual mineral ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chloride by the small intestine. These minerals play crucial roles in various physiological processes in the body, including nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and fluid balance. Any excess minerals are usually excreted by the kidneys through urine to maintain proper mineral balance in the body.
Graphite is not a mineral because it lacks a crystal structure. Minerals are solid, naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and a defined atomic arrangement. Copper, table salt (halite), and sugar (sucrose) all meet these criteria and are considered minerals.

Salt is a mineral....i think
Halite is a mineral and is most often referred to as rock salt. Rock salt is used in the preservation and preparation of certain foods.
