Gold dore is a semi-pure alloy that is refined for additional purification. Refined gold bars are made from bars with gold doors
A doré bar is a gold bar that is partially refined. Doré bars are usually an alloy with a very high content of gold, sometimes even pure. They don't have uniformity or fixed norm, however. Gold doré bars result in the removal of all non-metal particles from the gold ore and consolidation of the naturally developed alloy gold-bearing into a single block. The gold doré bars are most often left in them, other than gold, mostly silver, plus often other gold mining by-products.
The main reason why doré bars are created is to facilitate handling by dealing with larger chunks of gold-bearing alloy instead of loose particles. In that sense, doré bars are basically the final stage between gold ore mining and gold bullion refining. The idea is that the doré bars are pure enough and big enough to handle the gold refineries.
