No. Too far north and the answer was mentioned more recently.

On the continuing theme of exotic places, I own a mine that I inherited from my maternal Grandmother. The mine is located just outside Deming, New Mexico. What is extracted from the mine?

Not if the question setter permits use of Google. See rule 42(b) part (ii), subsection (DD).

There are silver mines in the area, but this is not one of them. However a properly researched guess deserves a clue. The mine is located in one of the nearby State Parks.

No. I'm not even sure you can mine gas.

Neither Gypsum nor Manganese are correct. Pumice is incorrect but close. One of the extracts is the result of volcanic activity.

And for those of a curious nature, the other product is jasper.

Jasper was going to be my next guess! So, quite apart from being descended from Jacques-Louis David, you are an obsidian magnate as well? I did not think I could be more impressed; I am now.
Question to follow shortly.

As you doubtless know, singer Katy Perry has started her ‘Prismatic World Tour’. At least in the UK, in about the middle of each concert a beer is delivered to her from a trapdoor. The brand of beer has varied by city, as is appropriate.
In the show at the O2 Arena, what beer was it?
