Going from the sun outwards, the size of the iron core of the planets decrease. That is, Mercury has the largest core followed by Venus, Earth with Mars having the smallest core.
As the planets cooled the heavier metals concentrated towards the center so that,for example, it is theorized that earth has a inner core composed of iron-nickel. This is verified by the Voisey Bay, Labrador nickel deposit. That deposit was formed when a conduit was made available at the intersection of continental plates.
My theory is that, since Mercury has a large iron core it should also have a greater proportion of heavy metals such as nickel, possibly gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and so on.
So if interested in a TH trip, bring a suntan lotion with a block of about 2,000.
