Mexico's Silver Belt Runs Through Guanajuato
Today, Mexico is the world's leading
producer of silver with 21% of global
production, followed by Peru (15%),
China (12%) and Australia and Russia
(each 6%).
Mexico's "La Faja de Plata” (The Silver
Belt) runs 1,000 km from NW of Mexico
City to Chihuahua and is the most
prolific mining district in the world, with
a historical production of more than
10,000 million ounces of silver (311,000
tons).
