This document will present geneological research in regards to the place tradictional miners fill during the confirmation of the first mining code in Colombia: the 1864 code of the former Antioquian state. The findings have been obtained whilst accompanying a farming mining community in pursuit of legalising their work, and to apply some evidence regarding the presence of blockades within current mining regulations that impede access from rural communities to the political formalization of traditional mining. These institutions cooberate in a far more general dimension, whilst analysing in the second stage, the manner with which mining politics has been built in Colombia in the last 30 years. Subsequently, some reasons are postulated as to why it would be pertinent to use geneology in the study of the birth and consolidation of modern concious that goes through mining legislation where the primitive, disorganised, unproductive and problematic forms of rural operations counter run the technical, scientific, organised and productive part of buisness forms. Antioquia?s economic and social development is studied during the consolidation of the Republic as the origin of legal and scientific knowledge of XIX century mining in Colombia.
