Aurum...and for silver, Argentium, and also Argent.
The latin aurum, like the word aura, (used spiritualy, like a halo or glow) is the same but the sort of "adjcective" (latin tenses and grammar is weired) and means of a glow, or shine.
In terms of noble metals, ones not readily given to form compounds (including rusting, but not as an only criteria) are the platinum group metals (at least six of the eight) and gold, silver, and mercury. Other metals such as copper have a rust resiliance.

The Latin name for gold is augmentin and that is why the chemical symbol is Au.

Au. I used the element of surprise to discover this little nugget of information. It has been a real silver lining. It is not an either ore situation. A mine is a terrible thing to waste when someone gives you the shaft. Things just don't always pan out.
