Silver Linings: The Mexican Silver Belt
2026-06-01 16:00:00 ET
The Méxican Silver Belt ( La Faja de Plata ) is an 800 kilometer long geographical corridor cutting across Northern and Central México. It stretches from Chihuahua and Sonora at the border with the US to the Central México state of Guanajuato, following the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, passing through Durango and Zacatecas.
This is the most productive silver region on the globe. Indigenous groups in Central México mined silver and gold here for ages. But it wasn’t until the 1540s that Spanish conquistadors started large-scale mining operations.
Today, the Méxican Silver Belt is responsible for making México the largest source of silver in the world. In 2025, México produced 6,300 metric tons of silver, most of which came from this region.
