Between 1830 and 1850 Chilean silver mining grew at an unprecedented pace which transformed mining into one of the country's principal sources of wealth. The rush caused rapid demographic, infrastructural, and economic expansion in the semi-arid Norte Chico mountains where the silver deposits lay. A number of Chileans made large fortunes in the rush and made investments in other areas of the economy of Chile. By the 1850s the rush was in decline and lucrative silver mining definitively ended in the 1870s. At the same time mining activity in Chile reoriented to saltpetre operations.

dbo:abstract
  • Between 1830 and 1850 Chilean silver mining grew at an unprecedented pace which transformed mining into one of the country's principal sources of wealth. The rush caused rapid demographic, infrastructural, and economic expansion in the semi-arid Norte Chico mountains where the silver deposits lay. A number of Chileans made large fortunes in the rush and made investments in other areas of the economy of Chile. By the 1850s the rush was in decline and lucrative silver mining definitively ended in the 1870s. At the same time mining activity in Chile reoriented to saltpetre operations. Exports of Chilean silver alongside copper and wheat were instrumental to allow Chile cure the default of its independence debt in London. (en)
  • Entre 1830 y 1850 la minería de la plata en Chile creció a un ritmo sin precedentes que transformó la minería en una de las principales fuentes de riqueza del país. La fiebre provocó una rápida expansión demográfica, de infraestructura y económica en las montañas semiáridas del Norte Chico, donde se encuentran los depósitos de plata. Varios chilenos hicieron grandes fortunas con las prisas e hicieron inversiones en otras áreas de la economía de Chile. En la década de 1850, la fiebre estaba en declive y la lucrativa minería de plata definitivamente terminó en la década de 1870. Al mismo tiempo, la actividad minera en Chile se reorientaba hacia las operaciones de salitre. (es)
