True.
By the mid-1850s the easily won placer gold was largely exhausted, and mining shifted to deeper, more capital- and equipment-intensive methods (hydraulic and hard-rock/quartz mining). That transition required investment beyond what most individual prospectors could provide, so larger companies and corporate enterprises began to replace independent miners.
