From where did all the heavy elements come to earth?

Our Sun is currently burning, or fusing, hydrogen into helium. This is the process that occurs during most of a star's lifetime. After the hydrogen in the star's core is exhausted, the star can burn helium to form progressively heavier elements, carbon and oxygen and so on, until iron and nickel are formed. This is all in the future life of our Sun.

Therefore, all the heavy elements like silver, gold, lead, platinum, uranium and all the heavier elements must have come from other stars of our galaxy that are many times larger and older than our very young Sun. It is even possible that the different heavy elements in the mineral and other deposits might have come from stars in other galaxies hundreds to thousands in size and age compared to our Sun. The deposits were probably "Cosmic Gift Parcels" carried from various stars of various ages many times older and light years farther deposited by the interstellar and inter-galactic traveling space objects.

This type of material transfers is probably so common, especially in universal time scales, that many planets may exist orbiting the stars in our galaxy and other galaxies gifted from multiple deposit transfer between stars that are actually cosmic and galactic foundries of different elements.
