No. Fossil fuels are first and foremost fuels. Eg: coal, natural gas...
Gold, silver and copper are metals. Bronze is an alloy - a mixture of copper and tin.
I hope this helps.

copper gold and silver are all elements, bronze is a mixture of copper and - tin I think - all fossil fuels are molecules that have come from the break down of plants and animals back when the dinosaurs were around and earlier

No - they are not fuels at all. Fossil fuels are compounds containing carbon like oil and natural gas (methane, CH4).

All are metals so they do not burn. Therefore they can not be considered fuels.
