lead for Minie' balls

Moved from Alabama in the Civil War Message Board

I have read where gunpowder and other elements of warfare came from during the war including the ingenious work of the niter corps in particular, Jonathon Haralson of Selma...., but what was the confederate and union sources of lead for ammunition?
I assume mines in the south and west?, but where were these located?

Thanks,

Charles East
