Brazil–Iron ore is also correctly matched. Brazil is one of the world's most important iron-ore producers. In 2024, it was the second-largest producer of iron ore in the world and accounted for approximately 17% of global production.

Mexico–Silver is also correctly matched. Mexico has a long association with silver mining, and in 2024 it was the world's leading silver-producing country, accounting for about 22.8% of global production.

Peru, in contrast, is better known for metallic minerals such as copper, silver, zinc and gold.
