Mining is one of the most substantial economic activities worldwide, since it generates a large amount of income for the countries that carry out the extractive activity, both of stone material and precious minerals from the soil and subsoil, it is due to the magnitude of the manipulation that this process requires, causes different negative impacts that cause the deterioration and scarcity of natural resources, as well as the landscape modification of the study sector. Among the main impacts that mining generates are: the destruction of the earth's crust, the contamination of the waters, the impact on the flora and fauna of the environment close to mining, alterations in the different infrastructures for the development of this activity, the landscape change and the negative effects on human health of populations near the mine.
