In terms of ore rarity, (I'm pretty sure) everything is distributed according to RNG with a table of odds. Gold is likely more common than Diamonds because Diamonds are at the top of the Gem table (in addition to the fact that White Torches give off 150% of the light of a normal Torch), whereas Gold Ore is only of the fourth tier of ores.
