The Nazareno y Anexas Mining Company was established in 1910 in the State of Mexico, in Temascaltepec. This company, operating in the mining sector, was primarily engaged in the extraction of precious metals such as gold and silver, typical of the mountainous and mining regions of central Mexico. The company was established during a period of economic growth in the country, supported by the growing foreign interest in the Mexican mining industry.
Over the years, the company continued to operate in the extractive sector but had to face significant challenges, including fluctuations in precious metal prices and political instability, typical of the Mexican revolutionary period. Despite this, the company managed to maintain its market position until the mid-20th century.
