English term or phrase: gold and silver rush
Old mining towns from the gold and silver rush era still survive, together with many ghost towns.

De vieux établissements miniers de l'époque de la fièvre de l'or et de l'argent, survivent encore avec plusieurs villages fantômes.

Is it correct?

Is this "rush" called "fièvre"?

"Fièvre de l'or" seems to be more about a new game and a new book in the Internet and I am not sure if it applies in this case...

TIA, mmm
