From the Nations Encyclopedia:
Mexico's globally significant mineral sector was dominated by hydrocarbons, and ranked first in the production of silver, bismuth (28% of the world's total), and celestite (strontium mineral; 50% of world output); second in fluorspar (14% of world output); fourth in arsenic and graphite; fifth in molybdenum; among the top 10 in barite, cadmium, gypsum, mine lead, manganese ore, salt, sulfur, and mine zinc; and in the top 15 in mine copper, cement, gold, and crude steel (secondlargest producer in Latin America). Mexico's fourth, fifth, and sixth leading industries in 2002 were the production of iron and steel, petroleum, and mining, respectively, and, among export commodities, oil and oil products ranked third, and silver fourth.
