People from all over the world flocked to California to pick up the nuggets that were the size of a man's fist, just lying around out in the open. It certainly must have affected the world's gold/precious metals market.
The California Gold Rush most certainly negatively affected the Yahi tribe's ability to hunt and fish in their historical home territory. Their population was estimated to be about 400 when gold was discovered in 1848. The tribe's last known Survivor, believed to have been born around 1860, passed away in 1911.

How did the United States expand in the pacific?
In the early nineteenth century, the idea of "Manifest Destiny" led citizens of the United States to settle on the western frontier. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 hastened that process.
Who benefited from the Manifest Destiny?
The idea that manifest destiny was responsible for growth in territory and or intercontinental railroads is a myth. In the US people sought gold in California. The government offered free land to homesteaders for national interest, not because of any "destiny". It was good chatter for newspapers, but I dare say anyone living in New York City moved to Oklahoma on the basis of manifest destiny. War with Mexico was not based on US president Polk having a vision from God. And the Mexican government did not fight to regain Texas because of religion.
