Nicaragua's Chinese Gold Rush

In 1979, following the national revolution, Nicaragua nationalized gold mines, beginning with announcements in Siuna, a Caribbean town. This marked the start of significant gold mining activity, particularly in the 'triangle mine' area alongside Rosita and Bonanza, largely controlled by Rosario Mining Company. The event attracted a diverse group of miners, including indigenous communities and migrants, fueling a period of intense gold exploration and extraction.
