Resumen:
Abstract: This work aims at analyzing the factors and circumstances affecting performance in the mining sector in Nueva Vizcaya prior to the surge of activity in Parral, characterized by a low intensity exploration of mining sites and poor capital and labor concentration on ore extraction and refining. It also looks into the causes behind the inability of the Royal Treasury to raise full revenue, and how this shortcoming also had a negative effect on the region’s productive potential, resulting from concentration of public support on other, more productive mining districts, such as Zacatecas.
