Answer: Gold, silver, and lead.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gold, silver, lead, along with copper, tin, mercury, and sulfur, are the minerals found in the Andes mountains. Since over a thousand years ago natives from the area had been mining gold and silver to create decorative elements that they used in different rituals. By the 1500s, Spanish colonization had many explorers searching the Andes for gold and other metals, which were sent to Spain.
