Gold Caves in Chile

Aladino Olivares ,is a man who found a cave of gold and became one of the richest men in Chile.

He was crawling down  inside a mountain in north Chile when he got stuck inside a cave. He tried to survive with just a basic tool when he noticed gold in the rocks. He filled his bag with gold and got out after climbing the rocks with difficulty.

Olivares started to sell the gold every month on the black market because of the low salary the Chilean miners were getting every month.

The man started to make his own business and he made a lot of money. After knowing of what he did, the president of Chile Sebastian Pinera employed 140,000 miners in a company which secures the caves in Chile.

despite all the regulations that have been made in Chile. The theft of gold never stopped. The government even stopped letting visitors come to the caves, because of the stealing that was happening, to protect the gold that exists in the caves.
