Gold, Au, atomic number 79. Melting point 1337K. A valuable precious metal, and because it is the most resistant metal to corrosion, is widely used in jewellery and luxury goods and for contact pads in electronics.

Hafnium 178m2, Hf, atomic number 72. This nuclear isomer has the potential to unleash enormous quantities of gamma radiation, making it an excellent ingredient for use in devastating weapons of mass destruction. As a result Hafnium 178 is a highly controlled substance that is universally illegal to own without special dispensation.

Platinum, Pt, atomic number 78. Melting point 2041K. A grey-white precious metal used as a catalyst within many industrial processes, in addition to its value in electronics and luxury goods because of its resistance to corrosion.

An ultra-strong metal alloy used in the manufacture of robotics, heavy machinery and weaponry.
Due to the dangerous nature of mining and processing the alloy and fusing it with Platinum, most systems refused to produce it and the technique was almost lost.
Now the factions of the Nahuatl system are the only people with the knowledge to create the metal.

Silver, Ag, atomic number 47. Melting point 1234K. A precious metal valued in jewellery. It also has many useful industrial properties being the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal, and also the most reflective, and so is widely used in high tech applications, either in its pure form or alloyed with other metals.

When gold is exposed to the rare gas coming from thermal vents on the sea beds of the twin Earth-like planets Sothis A5 and Sothis A6, it forms into a previously unseen crystalline structure unlike other crystalline gold. Scientists and engineers are only just beginning to discover the technological applications for this rare form of gold.

Uranium, U, atomic number 92. Melting point 1405K. Uranium is a silvery-grey metal, usually found as a mix of isotopes, mostly U238, and typically less than 1% of the radioactive U235. As a whole it is only weakly radioactive. It is chemically toxic but a useful element in industry, mainly because of its density. In early human history it was used as a power source in fission reactors. Standard canisters offer sufficient protection from the low level of radiation.
