Is magnetite found near gold?

Yes, magnetite can be found near gold deposits, as both minerals can form in similar geological environments. Magnetite is an iron oxide that often occurs in igneous and metamorphic rocks, which can also host gold mineralization. However, the presence of magnetite does not guarantee the presence of gold, as the two minerals have different formation processes and are not directly related.
