Mexico Mining 2016 Pre-Release

March 04, 2016

In Mexico, mining runs deeps. First practiced millennia ago by the Maya, Aztec, Mixteco and Zapoteco peoples, mining has continued to play an integral role on this land. Mexico is the largest producer of silver in the world, the second largest producer of bismuth and fluorite, the third largest producer of celestite and wollastonite, and a top-10 producer of cadmium, lead, zinc, salt, gold, and copper. Evidently, Mexico is recognized as a key player in the global mining industry in terms of revenue, production and reserves, which is an extraordinary and promising fact when considering that over 70% of the country possesses mining geological features, but only 27% of the national territory has been explored. It is clear is that there are key opportunities in Mexico for those investors who are creative, visionary and, most importantly, patient.
