What group is Gold in? Silicate,Carbonate, Halide, Oxide, Phosphate,Sulfide or Native element?

Gold typically is found as a native element. There are some gold compounds, such as gold telluride (calaverite, Au2Te) and gold antimony (aurostibite, AuSb2). These are rare minerals and are usually listed under the sulfides, despite the fact that they do not contain any sulfur.
