At first I thought about platinum too, but then I realized that platinum is much heavier but stronger than gold. So probably mithril is a combination metal containing the best properties of all of these really precious white metals. Like the lightness and strength of titanium and the shine of platinum. It is completely imaginary though and I really think that there is nothing like it out there. Unless someone could find a way to single out these properties and combine them into some amazing super-metal.
